Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 610 Relationship

Song Ying pursed her lips, forcing herself not to think about the horror of sleeping in a coffin, and focused her thoughts on the timeline.

She asked, "When you met them, was it Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"It's already August 20th."

Song Ying glanced at Doctor Lin, and he could roughly figure out what his uncle had experienced.

When they fled to Qingshui County, Ran Shuang had already been injured and was probably in critical condition, urgently needing silver needles to save her life.

With the Jinyiwei chasing them, they didn't dare to ask the doctor for needles or medicine, so the master hid Ran Shuang in a coffin in the charity cemetery and found a blacksmith shop to make silver needles himself.

Perhaps it was because the medicinal herbs were hard to come by, and even with the silver needles, Ran Shuang's injury did not improve.

Then came the child coroner. With his help, Ran Shuang's injuries finally got better. In order to prevent anyone from noticing anything unusual, the master uncle did not dare to buy large quantities of medicine through the child coroner, and chose to go out and find some medicinal materials himself.

One day in winter, he met the Jinyiwei while he was out. He had an accident while escaping and fainted in Xinghua Village. He was rescued by Huang Yihai.

Knowing that the Jinyiwei were chasing him closely, he didn't dare to stay any longer. After waking up, he rested for two days and then left.

There has been no news of him until now. There may be two possibilities: first, he was caught up and killed by the Jinyiwei; second, he fled to a farther place and hid himself.

Song Ying looked at Doctor Lin. If it was the first case, it would be too cruel. He hoped it was the second case.

The child coroner observed the master and disciple's expressions, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Wanqiu...what is the relationship between them?"

Doctor Lin pursed his lips, unsure of how to respond.

The child coroner smiled bitterly and said, "After Doctor Jiang disappeared, I secretly looked for him and also asked my colleagues in the government office for information, but there was no news at all.

After several years of constant anxiety, with no news of Dr. Jiang's whereabouts, and no one coming to look for Ruoyun, I used my connections to re-register Ruoyun under a new name.

I thought that even though my brother was gone, we still had to live. A woman like her, with her beauty and talent, couldn't marry into a wealthy family, but it would be easy for her to marry into a well-off family.

But she was unwilling, saying that she wanted to wait for her brother to come back. She waited for more than ten years, but there was no news.

Later, when we got married, I gradually came to my senses. How could a sister refuse to marry just because her brother disappeared? "

Song Ying blinked and looked at Doctor Lin. What does this mean?

Uncle-shi and Ran Shuang are in love? !

No way, isn’t he engaged to the master?

Doctor Lin's expression didn't change dramatically. Only a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he calmed down, without any anger of betrayal.

She pondered for a moment and said, "You worry too much. Sister Ruoyun has been a maverick since she was young. She has always aspired to become a pipa master and has never wanted to get married.

Later, her family suffered a great change, she was displaced and had a near-death experience, which must have made her even more disheartened and unwilling to get married.”

The child coroner was stunned for a moment and asked anxiously, "What happened to their family? Why are they being hunted?"

"Empress Zhenhui passed away..."

Doctor Lin did not intend to conceal this matter, nor was there any need to conceal it. Knowing the identity of his senior brother, he could find out as long as he was determined.

She simply classified Jiang Ruoyun as a member of the Jiang family, saying that the brother and sister were rescued and escaped together.

The Jiang family has many members, so they are not afraid of his investigation.

Now that the truth was clear, Doctor Lin stood up, folded his hands in front of him, and bowed deeply to the child coroner. "Thank you so much, old doctor, for your heroic rescue back then. Senior Brother and Sister Ruoyun were able to escape. Your kindness is so great, and Lin Luxi will never forget it."

The child coroner was so frightened that he was at a loss. He repeatedly dodged and tried to help her up, but then felt offended and quickly withdrew his hand, muttering, "No, no, no! Doctor Lin, please get up quickly! How can I bear your generous gift?"

Doctor Lin performed the ceremony meticulously, then stood up and said, "My Lin family and the Jiang family are family ties, and since you're Sister Ruoyun's husband's family, we're all relatives from now on. If you have any difficulties, feel free to come find me at Huichun Hall."

In the child coroner's entire life, all his relatives had despised him, but this was the first time that a relative had treated him so normally.

Happy yet embarrassed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship. If I had known earlier, when my wife was still alive, I should have gone out for a walk. If I had met Doctor Ma, I would have recognized him as my relative long ago."

Doctor Lin sighed lightly. That’s right. If he had met her earlier, he would have known more about his senior brother.

It's a pity that good luck tricks people.

The child coroner didn't notice Doctor Lin's regret and continued to speak politely: "This is the case of whether they are family or not. I just wanted Yunshu to have a peer to talk to, but I didn't expect that...

Hey, Yunshu is still sleeping, how rude."

"We came too early." Doctor Lin shook his head slightly. "It's getting late. We should go back."

"You are all very busy people, so I won't keep you here..."

When we left Tong's house, it was just after noon and the sky was still pitch black, with only a few houses having lights on.

As Master and Apprentice Song Ying walked by, they could still hear their complaints, "Someone's going to look for the Tong family again! Oh my God, it's so unlucky so early in the morning!"

Back home, Dr. Lin sat quietly by the window for a long time, the brocade cushions on the armchair slightly damp with morning dew, but she was oblivious. It wasn't until the candle on the table burned out its last drop of wax that daylight began to filter through the window screen.

Song Ying looked worried, "Master, are you okay?"

Doctor Lin shook her head slightly. Seeing that Song Ying was still worried, she smiled and said, "Your master wouldn't be defeated so easily. I've been searching for him for so many years. There's no need to rush."

After a pause, she instructed, "Don't reveal anything about Ran Shuang to Yun Shu. She hasn't told the child coroner and the others because she doesn't want her husband and daughter to know about that experience."

Song Ying nodded, "I know, it wasn't a good experience."

After knowing about Aunt Lian's experience, she became even more terrified of brothels. It was such a blessing that Ran Shuang could escape from there.

After a quick packing, the master and disciple went to Huichun Hall and informed Doctor Ma of the matter.

Doctor Ma was astonished. They had long forgotten about the person they had helped many years ago, but they didn't expect there was still something going on. "So, Senior Brother must have met her on the way to Qingshui County."

Doctor Lin nodded slightly, and after a while he said, "I think I'll walk around, maybe I can find him."

"Master, this won't work." Song Ying tried to dissuade him. "The Imperial Guards are after my uncle. Without him, Ran and Aunt Jiang will be safer. If I were my uncle, I would definitely stay far away and lure the Imperial Guards away. Therefore, he definitely won't be near Qingshui County."

Doctor Ma also advised: "Yes, in recent years, your master and disciple have become famous. If he is really near Qingshui County, he should have come here long ago."
