Zhao Yan patrolled around, but never saw anyone who matched his memory. Instead, an old man in his fifties stood beside Gu Jiu. At this moment, he looked at him with a very obvious tears.

His heart trembled suddenly and he looked at the old man tentatively, but his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything.

"Uncle Master."

In the end, it was Zhuangziqi who spoke first.

As soon as the three words came out, Zhao Yan couldn't stand up.

He almost staggered over quickly, trying to grab Zhuang Ziqi's hand, but he was a little afraid and asked with a sob: "Are you, Xiaoqi?"

Zhuang Ziqi's suppression of emotions suddenly became a little uncontrollable. He took a deep breath and tried to smile: "Uncle Master, it's me."

The man in front of him no longer remembers the youth's spirit, which made Zhao Yan unable to hold back and burst into tears.

"You...you are alive, it's great, it's great."

He was left with this sentence over and over again, and the old man in front of him was so heartbroken that he couldn't control himself, and Zhuang Ziqi also felt sad.

"Uncle Master, I'm still alive, don't cry."

Zhao Yan can be said to have watched him grow up. Such a person who was like a father cried like this, which made Zhuang Ziqi unable to help him anymore. Although he was coaxing the other party, he also had red eyes.

The patients who were seeing the doctor also came over, and several apprentices immediately surrounded him and said with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Their voice was not loud, and they could only vaguely hear a few words. Now they saw their master holding the old man's hand and crying constantly, and they were also a little panicked.

Zhao Yan then realized that he waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, Xiaoqi, let's go to the room and talk."

Seeing this, Zhuang Ziqi naturally nodded in agreement, but when he saw Gu Jiu's red eyes, he held her hand and said, "Let's go, go in together."

Gu Jiu nodded and responded, and helped Zhuang Ziqi to the room together.

After closing the door, Zhao Yan almost couldn't wait to ask: "Are you doing well over the years? I went back to the dealer before and saw him... I thought..."

He couldn't say those words, and when he thought about the situation at that time, he felt that it was unlucky to say them.

On the contrary, Zhuang Ziqi didn't care and said briefly: "I was lucky at that time and ran out when the fire broke out."

Where did they run out? It was clearly because they gave themselves out with their lives!

The firelight of that night shone with blood and became his biggest nightmare in his life.

I dare not forget every day and suffer every night.

A relative saved him with his life, so he could not die.

But he wasted half of his life and had no hope of revenge, so even living was a sin.

When talking to Zhao Yan at this time, Zhuang Ziqi felt even more like he had returned to that night, and his expression was filled with sadness.

What he said was briefly, but Zhao Yan felt that it was not that simple.

But now he obviously didn't want to say it, so Zhao Yan naturally wouldn't force him, so he just responded: "It's better to escape, just live."

When he said this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but think of himself when he saw the situation of the dealer, and then felt his painstorm, coughing and sighing: "I have never hoped that I could see you in my most beautiful dreams over the years - since you are still here, why don't you come to me?"

His home is in Deng County, which is something that Zhuangziqi and others know. Zhao Yan has worked diligently to save people for so many years, and he is also a little bit interested in becoming famous.

But he became famous, but hoped that one day, if the old people remembered themselves and came to find him, they would just hold someone on the street and ask for information.

However, after waiting for so many years, he achieved success, but no one has ever been there.

This is why, Zhao Yan felt that they were probably no longer alive.

Otherwise, how could he have never been here and he could not find out any information related to it?

Those pasts were too sad and troubled Zhao Yan's life.

Until now when I saw Zhuangziqi, I was happy for his life, and he was a little puzzled.

It was clear that their relationship was very good at that time.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I'm going to tell you that my uncle had broken my legs at that time, but later I thought, I'm a burden, why bother to implicate others?"

He is lying.

The proud and innocent boy went through great changes overnight, and went from being loved by his relatives to being alone.

He lived alone in this world, and even death became a luxury.

Why doesn't that young man want relatives to support him?

At that time, Zhuang Ziqi was crazy and wanted to come to find Zhao Yan.

He knew that as long as he appeared beside Zhao Yan, his uncle would definitely not ignore him.

But he can't.

The Zhuangjia, Fu family, and two major families, more than a hundred lives can disappear overnight, which shows that the methods behind the people are very powerful.

They all died, but they could only survive.

He is an ominous person.

This ominous person can no longer bring disaster to Zhao Yan.

So he held back.

Even though he was almost self-abuse and crazy for countless nights, and felt that he couldn't hold on, he had never really come to Zhao Yan.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Yan would miss him like this.

Twenty-five years have passed, but his junior uncle has never given up looking for himself.

Thinking of this, Zhuangziqi's voice became a little more smiling: "But over the years, I have lived a good life, and now I have accepted an apprentice."

He said this and then pulled Gu Jiu over and explained to Zhao Yan with a smile: "This is my disciple. I think you know that uncle."

When Zhao Yan heard that he brought the broken leg over so casually, he felt a little more sour.

Seeing that Zhuang Ziqi was obviously unwilling to talk about this, he nodded and said, "Well, this poison can be detached so quickly, thanks to Mrs. Qin. But I didn't expect that he was your disciple, which shows that the world is really small."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan is still a little lucky.

Previously, people from the government office came to invite him, saying that there was a contagious disease here. At that time, his disciples all advised him not to go, and they were all willing to come for him.

Fortunately, he insisted on coming at that time, otherwise, wouldn’t he missed the opportunity to find Zhuangziqi again?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt a little scared.

Fate is a mysterious thing. Fortunately, he persisted, and fortunately, he has now found Zhuangziqi.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile and salute, "Hello Master, don't praise me like this. Thanks to you this time. After all, if you weren't for using the needle to save people, I'm afraid that all this would have been messed up with my three-legged cat's skills."

"Mrs. Qin is too humble. You have a kind heart. The people of Deng County want to thank you."

Although this is Zhuang Ziqi's apprentice, she is Qin Zheng's wife. Zhao Yan was very impressed by how she helped the people to see the doctor without considering the hard work.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi immediately smiled and said, "We don't have to be polite. Ajiu called you Master. If you uncle like this again, this little girl would not know how to deal with herself."

As soon as this was said, Gu Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Master is very saying. I didn't know that you were the master before, and I also concealed it for the master. Ajiu has to accompany you."

She explained the matter in a few words, which immediately made Zhao Yan smile and said, "It's right, your concerns were right at that time. What if I was a bad person, wouldn't it hurt him?"

But even though he said so, he felt a little more suspicious.

If the truth was really as simple as Zhuang Ziqi said, how could he be so alert?

But they just recognized each other. The current atmosphere was really not suitable to talk about those heavy topics. Therefore, Zhao Yan greeted them for a while, and then smiled and said, "Let's have dinner here tonight. I'll ask them to cook some special dishes from Deng County. Didn't you like eating the noodles I made the most at that time? I'll make them for you later."

At that time, the stewed noodles he made were poured with soft mutton, and he could eat two big bowls at a time when he was a half-aged young man.

Zhao Yan's words immediately made Zhuang Ziqi think of the past, endured the pain in his heart, nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to the uncle."

...

That night, Zhuangziqi slept directly in Shi'an Hall.

Gu Jiu returned to the government office.

When the banquet ended, Zhuang Ziqi was already drunk.

He was in poor health. Lin An watched him not allow him to drink more during these days, but it was different tonight. Gu Jiu vaguely felt that this time they met a pain in Zhuang Ziqi's heart, so he did not stop him.

Because Zhao Yan was old, he only had a few drinks with him. Now he is very sober.

When he knew Gu Jiu was leaving, he smiled and tried to keep her: "It's getting late, and there is also a free place in Shi'an Hall, so Mrs. Qin will live here."

Although Gu Jiu called him Master, Zhao Yan did not dare to be arrogant and still called her Mrs. Qin.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu shook his head and replied with a smile: "No need, thank you for your kindness. Master, I'm asking you to take care of me, so I'll go back first."

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Zhao Yan did not stop him, but just sent her back for a while.

When we arrived at the government office, we were meeting Bai Wuyuan.

Bai Wuyuan's nose was very useful. He smelled the wine on her body in just one meeting, but he smiled silently: "Mrs. Qin is back."

Gu Jiu nodded, saw that it was Bai Wuyuan, and saluted: "Master Bai."

The two greeted each other and she was about to leave, but Bai Wuyuan called out: "Madam, wait first."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu stopped and looked back at him and asked, "What advice do you have?"
