"Senior brother!" Ji Hanwei didn't care to wait for Yuan Xinning to read the letter, pushed open the door and rushed into the room quickly.
I saw Xu Qirong lying on the bed, with a rosy face and his hands folded on his lower abdomen. At first glance, he looked like he was asleep.
But Ji Hanwei, as a doctor, could see the stiffness of his body at a glance.
She put her trembling fingers under Xu Qirong's nose to test it, and found that she was no longer breathing.
"Senior brother..." Ji Hanwei threw herself in front of the bed and cried loudly, "Why am I so stupid? If you say you have a way to solve it, I will believe you... If I had known that you would use this method to solve the problem, I..."
Yuan Xining heard the crying in the yard, and her hands trembling when she opened the letter.
Even if she made a cruel decision to expel Xu Qirong from her apprenticeship, he was still the apprentice she had watched grow up since he was a teenager and had taught him wholeheartedly.
The letter Xu Qirong left was very simple.
"Master, this is the last time I will call you.
"My disciple was obsessed with this and made a big mistake. Now he is fully aware of the seriousness of his sin.
"Unfortunately, the mistake has been made. I only hope that the master will help take care of several disciples and grandchildren because the disciple has deeply regretted it and one life is worth another.
"They are innocent and should not bear the consequences of my mistakes. Especially He Yu, this child is very talented and down-to-earth. I hope Master will have mercy on him."
"My disciple is unfilial, so I take the first step. Finally, I wish my master happiness, health, and longevity.
"The unfilial disciple Xu Qirong kowtows."
Yuan Xining read the letter almost word for word, then her hands softened, the letter paper fell, and her tears flowed down her cheeks.
She lowered her head and looked at Yue Chun, who was kneeling in the courtyard, full of lifeless energy. She wanted to say that it was not your fault, but she also knew that he would not listen at all at this time.
If it wasn't for the purpose of delivering a message to him and collecting Xu Qirong's body for burial, Yue Chun would have followed him.
"Du Chun, do you know who He Yu is?" Yuan Xining suddenly asked.
"Yes, he is the master's close disciple. Although he is the youngest among several disciples, he is the master's favorite.
"The master said that he was born to do this, and he taught me all his skills and experience over the years.
"It is precisely because of his talent that the master said that he will never accept any more apprentices from now on.
"Now He Yu has retired and returned to his hometown to open a medical clinic. Because of his good medical skills and his sincerity, he has become well-known in the local area in less than two years.
"My master took me to see him secretly before, and he was very satisfied with him. He was full of praise and said that in a few years he would definitely be better than his master.
"And He Yu is also very filial. He has never neglected his three birthdays and two birthdays. He will also take time out to visit the master every year..."
Speaking of He Yu, Yue Chun gradually talked more and more, and the desire to die in his body seemed to be diluted a bit.
"Qirong's letter asked me to take more care of He Yu, but I'm too old and there will be no tomorrow after today. Why don't you go over and take care of him and take more care of him!"
Yue Chun was stunned when he heard this. He knew in his heart that Yuan Xining was afraid that he would seek death, so he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ever since Xu Qirong picked him up and pulled him back from the gate of hell, Yue Chun had long secretly sworn in his heart that he would be with Xu Qirong for the rest of his life.
When Xu Qirong's two daughters got married one after another and his wife died of illness, only the master and servant were left to depend on each other. He had already made up his mind that he would take good care of his master and provide for him until his death.
But he never expected that it would end up like this.
He would inevitably think that if he hadn't written to Ji Hanwei, he might not have ended up in today's situation.
If he had tried to persuade him more...
If he hadn't been hiding from the master these days because of a guilty conscience...
If he had just stayed home instead of going out to buy groceries…
Will the final outcome be different?
The more Yue Chun thought about it, the lower his head dropped, and his tears pattered on the stone slab.
Yuan Xinning felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, but now that two lives had been lost, she could not just watch Yue Chun commit suicide again.
"There is no guarantee that a child who looked good when he was young will not grow crooked in the future. Qirong has paid the price for his bigotry, and I don't want his apprentice to follow his old path again.
"You are upright by nature and kind-hearted. I can rest assured that I will leave this child He Yu to you. I don't have to worry about him going astray."
Yuan Xining still had a few words left in her heart that she had not said out loud. If He Yu was really as filial as Yue Chun said, he should be able to provide for Yue Chun until his death, so that he would not be alone and have no one to rely on.
After hearing these words, Yue Chun felt moved in his heart.
Just listen to Yuan Xining's last words: "This is Qirong's last wish, do you really not want to help him fulfill it?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Chun couldn't hold back anymore and fell to the ground crying: "Master..."
After Shen Tianshu learned about Ge Fu's death, it was already three days before he found time to leave the house.
Ge Fu had been buried in the morning. Shen Tianshu originally came out to see Yuan Xining, but unexpectedly he learned about Xu Qirong's death.
Looking at Yuan Xining, who had not yet come out of her sadness, Shen Tianshu said: "If he can do this, it is still a responsibility. Don't think too much about it."
"Oh, yes!" Yuan Xining sighed, and tried to cheer up and said to Shen Tianshu, "Your master and I are sworn friends. Now that she is gone, you are setting up your own business in Huguang. As the elder, I should
I'm taking care of you.
"Unexpectedly, instead of taking care of you, I almost caused you a lot of trouble.
"Although I have returned to my hometown to retire, I still have some connections in Huguang, and I still have some disciples and disciples who I can barely use. If you need any help, please send someone to send me a message. If you can help,
I will definitely not refuse."
Shen Tianshu saw that Yuan Xinning's mental state was completely different from when they met a few days ago, and he knew that Xu Qirong's death was a big blow to her.
Hearing that she was still exhorting him like this, he simply said: "Doctor Yuan, speaking of which, I actually have something to trouble you with."
Ji Hanwei was listening nearby, her face sank involuntarily and she rolled her eyes.
Master Xindao was just being polite, but Mrs. Tong actually took her seriously?
Couldn't she see that the master was exhausted mentally and physically, and talking to her now was just trying to force him out?
Yuan Xining sincerely wanted to help, so she said without hesitation: "Good boy, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
"There is a patient in the medical center here. I originally promised her to see a doctor for her fiancé's old lady, but now I can't get away. It happens that her future husband's family is on Dr. Yuan's way home. I wonder if it can be done.
Please help Dr. Yuan to check on the situation." Shen Tianshu pulled Yuan Xining aside and briefly explained the matter about Jiang Yuling.
After hearing this, Yuan Xining had a look of emotion on her face. She raised her hand and patted Shen Tianshu on the shoulder and said, "You kid, you are exactly like your master. When treating patients, you never just stop at curing the disease. You are always willing to trace the root cause.
Help people solve problems from the root.
"Don't worry, I've agreed to this. Don't say it's just on the way. If not, it doesn't hurt to make a special trip."
