In the cave, Forsythia walked up to the white-haired man and said lazily:
"Master, just wait a moment, lunch will be ready soon."
The man sat there just like he did all day long, his long white hair covering his entire face.
Even though the sun shone from the patio at noon and illuminated the entire cave, his appearance was still unclear.
But at this moment, his voice was no longer that old. Instead, it was pure and deep, with a hint of displeasure.
"How long will you continue to struggle with those two men? I told you, I won't save anyone without that child."
Forsythia's eyes flickered, her face wrinkled and she said:
"Don't you often say that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda?"
"Those are ordinary people. Those noble sons who were born with golden keys in their mouths will have a chance to survive even if I don't take action."
It just takes some effort and some luck.
Let him unconditionally save a few businessmen who smell like copper. Dream on.
Forsythia lowered her head, suddenly not knowing what to do.
The white-haired man hummed:
"You went against my will and secretly prepared medicine for that person who had a heart disease. Do you think he would be cured after taking a few doses of your medicine?"
Forsythia was stunned.
I didn’t expect that the master knew about this.
She looked up at her master, but her eyes were filled with stubbornness that knew no wrong.
The white-haired man said again:
"Your medicine will only make him die later."
Hearing this, Forsythia felt a little aggrieved.
"So I've been with you for so long, and all you've taught me is just some superficial knowledge?"
This statement is somewhat blaming.
The white-haired man turned his head, and through the hair gap in front of his face, his sharp eyes fell on the little girl.
Seeing that she really seemed to have been wronged, as a master, he couldn't bear it.
"Master has taught you everything that he should teach you. It just depends on how you use it."
"Then why do you say my medicine can only make him die later?"
"Qiao'er, are you going to get angry with Master over a stranger?"
The white-haired man was a little sad.
Forsythia choked her breath and said unwillingly:
"I just think Master is a little cruel, insisting on keeping someone else's three-year-old child and being separated from his parents for seventeen years.
Don't you think it's cruel? I followed you in the first place because I had no father, no mother, no worries.
But my family of three is so happy and happy, but you insist on breaking them up. I really don’t understand why you would do this, Master."
In her memory, Master was clearly a living Bodhisattva who understood great righteousness and saved lives and healed the wounded.
A person from a poor family once came to seek medical treatment, and he cured the person without asking for a penny.
Why does he insist on making things difficult for others when they come to seek medical treatment?
The man's face darkened and his voice became cold.
"You have only been with them for a few days, and they are just using a beauty trick to lure you, a little girl who is inexperienced in the world. Do you really think they are good people?"
Forsythia retorts:
"I just think they are good people. Even though we have only been together for ten days, they behave well and are of extremely high quality."
The man hated that iron could not become steel, so he snorted coldly:
"Good people? Do you know how many people's blood each of them has on their hands? Do you know how many people Murong Nan has killed in his life?
Do you know Ye Che, every time he acquires other people's companies, how many families are destroyed?"
The little disciple is still too naive.
Once a teacher, always a father, how could he safely hand her over to those people who only care about profit and let her run thousands of miles to help them save people.
I don’t know Master’s good intentions, but he still helps outsiders.
Forsythia was startled and looked at the master blankly.
She couldn't believe it, Murong Nan actually killed someone?
Ye Che also caused many families to be destroyed?
Master lives in this cave all day long, how do you know this?
"Qiao'er, the reason why the master asked them to keep the child is not only that he thinks the child is talented and a learning prodigy, but also wants to use her as a hostage."
"Do you know why Master keeps a hostage?"
Forsythia guessed, "Is Master afraid that they will cross the river and burn the bridge?"
The man explained: "Master is afraid that you will be bullied."
Forsythia doesn't understand.
The man asked: "Do you like that Murong Nan?"
Upon hearing this, Forsythia blushed and lowered her head in avoidance.
"If you think he is good, then I will promise you to him. If he marries you, I will fulfill all their wishes."
Forsythia, "..."
So everything Master does is for her good?
No way.
She had never seen Murong Nan before when the master made things difficult for them.
Just when Forsythia was confused, the man said again:
"You don't need to say much else. Just ask that man. If he is willing to marry you, then I will do as they wish.
Of course, the child must worship me as his teacher, and he does not need to stay with me for 17 years, but he must take my medicine."
His poison is time-limited and only attacks once a year.
In other words, the child must come back here once a year, otherwise no one can save her.
This is the only concession a master can make.
Forsythia didn't want to embarrass others, so she immediately argued:
"I, I don't like Murong Nan, Master, I don't want to get married."
"You can't deceive me, nor can you deceive your own heart. From the first moment you saw him, he was destined to be your lover.
Go down, and whenever he is willing to marry you in front of me, I will save him."
Knowing that Master had made up his mind, Forsythia opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
She walked out of the cave sadly and returned to the wooden house.
Seeing that Murong Nan had cooked the food and put it on the table, she absentmindedly walked over and sat down, not knowing what to do.
Murong Nan brought the tray and put it down, reminding her:
"Isn't your master hungry? Bring it in for him."
Forsythia sat motionless and looked very bad.
Murong Nan also noticed it and sat opposite her and asked again:
"What's wrong?"
Forsythia raised her eyes to meet the man's gaze. She was extremely embarrassed to speak, but she still spoke boldly.
"Brother Nan, I, I like you, you, would you marry me as your wife?"
If she says this to a man she has only known for ten days, others must think there is something wrong with her brain.
Or others simply don't like her.
She is just a little girl from the countryside. She doesn't know how to dress up, wear high heels, or wear skirts.
How could she be worthy of the glamorous him?
Murong Nan was frightened.
He originally thought about slowly alienating this little girl, but he didn't expect...
He opened his mouth to refuse.
Perhaps also because she was afraid of his rejection, Forsythia immediately said:
"I tried my best to treat Ye Che's illness, but my master said that it couldn't save him, it would just make him die later."
Murong Nan was stunned, looked at the little girl beside him, and asked:
"What? Ye Che's illness? Is Ye Che sick?"
Forsythia asked back: "Don't you know?"
"What's wrong with him?"
"Heart disease, heart failure, I can't live long."
Murong Nan, "..."
So the reason why Ye Che came here was to ask God to heal his illness, not to ask God to save his younger brother?
Before he could react, Forsythia continued:
"My master said that unless you marry me, he will do as you wish, otherwise..."
She lowered her head in embarrassment, embarrassed to face him again.
She knew it was very difficult, but she really liked him in her heart.
Murong Nan looked at the little girl in front of him and knew that she was not joking.
No wonder he felt that something was wrong with Ye Che in the first two days after arriving.
It turned out that he was sick.
But is it fair to him to let him marry a girl he doesn't like for Ye Che and his brother?
He married another girl, what should Yi Ning do?
Murong Nan opened his mouth and was about to refuse...
Forsythia immediately said:
"Also, the woman who came with Brother Ye earlier, Brother Ye screamed at her, her health is also not good and she has no fertility."
After mustering up the courage to raise her head again and looking at the man in front of her, Forsythia continued:
"If you marry me, then my master will prepare medicine for her so that she can have children in the future."
Maybe she is a little selfish herself.
I selfishly want to be with this man.
Although they have no feelings and don't understand each other, haven't they been the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker since ancient times?
Most couples in ancient times got married without meeting each other. She believed that after she married Brother Nan, they would slowly develop a relationship and they would be happy in the future.
Murong Nan opened his mouth to refuse, but he swallowed it back.
He could stay out of any matters involving Ye Che and his third brother.
But he couldn't ignore his sister's affairs.
Because she had been away from home for more than 20 years, my sister suffered a lot of injustice and even had her face disfigured.
She loves Ye Che, not just because she wants to give Ye Che a daughter.
The Ye family he knew was a one-man family, and if his sister couldn't give birth to a son, she would feel very uncomfortable.
He cannot selfishly leave his sister alone for the sake of his own happiness.
Besides, if Ye Che died, my sister and Xiao Niannian would be so sad.
"Brother Nan, will you marry me?"
Seeing that the man opposite him only looked at her without saying a word, Forsythia asked cautiously.
Murong Nan's expression changed, he tried to stabilize his emotions, came back to his senses and asked:
"Does your master mean what he says?"
When Forsythia heard this, she nodded happily, "Of course, I just need you to take the child over and let her worship my master as her teacher.
But she doesn’t have to stay here all the time, as long as she comes to see Master once a year.”
Murong Nan naturally knew that the miracle doctor wanted Xiao Lianlian to be his apprentice.
They just don't want to give it, so they keep wasting it here.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, I got myself involved.
Looking at the little girl in front of him again, Murong Nan asked again:
"I am 35 years old this year, you are only in your 20s, right?"
Forsythia nodded, "But you don't look old at all."
"I am fifteen years older than you. Do you think you will be happy with me?"
Ye Che's eldest sister is ten years old, and he thinks that Ye Che is an old cow eating young grass.
It's good now, there's someone 15 years younger than him.
But the little girl didn't care and blurted out:
"I think age doesn't matter. What I like is you."
She smiled and waited expectantly for his nod.
Murong Nan didn't have the courage to stare at her anymore and hurriedly looked away.
He got up and wanted to leave.
Forsythia called out to him, "Brother Nan, don't you like me?"
Murong Nan paused and wanted to say: Yes, I don't like you, I already have someone I like.
But I think of my sister, Ye Che, and my brother...
In the end, he had to choose to compromise, "No, I just think it's too sudden. Please let me get used to it."
The young man stood up and asked happily:
"So you agreed?"
Murong Nan was silent, he opened the wooden door and strode out.
When Forsythia saw that he didn't answer, she probably acquiesced.
She was very happy and hurriedly brought the master food in.
Ye Che came back for dinner and saw Murong Nan going out. His face was still very bad. He asked:
"Where are you going? Isn't the meal ready?"
Murong Nan stopped, fell back and stood in front of Ye Che, stared at him and asked expressionlessly:
"Is your heart failing?"
Ye Che did not deny it, "Yeah."
"You don't have much time left to live?"
"I don't know how long I can live."
"Then why don't you go to the doctor instead of going to the countryside to find this miracle doctor?"
Maybe high technology can save his illness.
This way he doesn't have to sacrifice his marriage.
Ye Che shook his head, "I couldn't find a suitable heart, so I cooperated with the doctor for treatment, but it didn't work."
"Is that why you came to see the miracle doctor?"
"Um."
"..."
Murong Nan stopped talking.
For the sake of his sister, he had no reason to refuse the request made by the miracle doctor.
As for Yi Ning...
Thinking of Tang Yining, he suddenly felt a faint pain in his heart, feeling guilty and blaming himself.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that his expression was not good, Ye Che asked again.
"It's nothing. The food is ready on the table. You go and eat. I'll go down the mountain to get some fresh air."
He strode away, his back looking slightly lonely.
Ye Che looked at him. Even though he knew he might have something on his mind, he didn't pay much attention and went into the wooden house to eat.
Forsythia happily ran out of the cave, sat down at the square table, and started eating without paying attention to Ye Che.
Seeing that the little girl was really happy, Ye Che asked her:
"What's up with you?"
Forsythia laughed and nodded her head.
"Let's hear what's going on."
Forsythia didn't hide anything and said shyly:
"I'm getting married."
Ye Che's expression changed, "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not joking. My master has promised to help you. You don't have to keep your child, as long as the child becomes his teacher and visits him once a year."
Ye Che suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately asked:
"So, is it a condition for you to marry Murong Nan?"
Murong Nan looked so bad just now, it must be because of this incident.
Forsythia did not deny it, "Yes, Brother Nan also agreed. Don't worry, my master will re-prepare the medicine for you. As long as you stay in the mountains to recuperate for a few more months, you will recover."
Ye Che, "..."
…
When Ye Shengsheng and the others arrived in the mountains, it was already afternoon.
The RV was parked at the foot of the mountain on an open lawn where they could set up a tent and rest.
Although this place is still some distance from where the miracle doctor lives, the car cannot drive up there, so they can only stay here temporarily.
Because I desperately want to see Ye Che and know his situation.
Ye Shengsheng handed the two children to Tang Wanjun to look after, and she took Tang Yining to climb halfway up the mountain to find them.
Along the way, Ye Shengsheng peeked at Tang Yining from time to time and asked her with a smile:
"You're about to see the person you miss so much, aren't you very happy?"
Tang Yining smiled slightly and avoided Ye Shengsheng's gaze.
"Whoever is happy, whoever is thinking about the person, you are talking about yourself."
Ye Shengsheng did not deny it, "I miss Ye Che very much. After all, I haven't seen him for more than ten days. I don't know what his expression will be like when he sees me soon."
Although they separated after a quarrel.
But she can understand Ye Che, she is not as knowledgeable as the old man.
Tang Yining smiled and said nothing.
But she didn't deny that she was indeed thinking about that man in her heart.
I just don't know if others are thinking about her.
