The few burly men stood there and almost blocked the entire house.
The front room was used by Divine Doctor Lü to treat illnesses. The back room was separated by a tattered and yellowed curtain. It was where Divine Doctor Lü lived. Soon, the curtain was lifted, and a hunched white-haired old man slowly walked out with a walking stick.
Su Yun was immediately stunned. This was completely different from the Divine Doctor Lü in his memory. On second thought, how many years had passed? Time really did not spare people!
“Divine Doctor Lü, this is my son, Su Yun. Do you still remember him? When he was young, he always liked to run to the back of the mountain and see you drying Chinese medicine.”
Su Guowei smiled at Doctor Lü. Doctor Lü looked at Su Yun for a few seconds before smiling. “I remember, I remember. Every time I dry Chinese medicine, this child will always drop it. I’m so angry that I always go to your house to complain. He’s already so big.”
Su Yun immediately smiled awkwardly before respectfully saying, “Grandpa Lü, I was young and insensible at that time. Please don’t take offense. I really have something to ask of you today.”
Seeing how polite Su Yun was, Doctor Lü smiled and nodded. “Kid, you’ve grown up. You’re promising. I’m already old. It’s also a blessing to be remembered. However, you have to wait for a while. I have to pack the herbs and house first. Sit here for a while. It won’t be long.”
Su Yun nodded when he heard that. He was not in a hurry.
Su Guowei and Yang Shan also sat at the side and watched as Divine Doctor Lü slowly sorted out the Chinese medicine books on the table.
“Chinese medicine. There are fewer and fewer people inheriting the treasures left behind by the ancestors. Once my old bones are buried, you can only go to the health center when there is an illness. Those Western medicines are all to fool people. How can they be better than the things left behind by our ancestors?” Doctor Lü muttered as he packed his things.
Su Guowei lowered his voice and whispered in Su Yun’s ear, “I heard that Old Master Lü has been depressed that his ability can’t be passed down. If there was nothing to do, he would mutter in the courtyard. However, this was inevitable.
Now, the young people of your generation are rash. How can they calm down and study these things? It’s good to talk to the old man more later.”
Su Yun nodded gently. In Su Yun’s eyes, this hunched figure looked so lonely and vicissitudes. At this moment, Zhao Tianbao suddenly thought of something. Then, he looked at Divine Doctor Lü and said, “Divine Doctor, this brother of mine is also a little troublesome. He has always had an old problem, a sequela left behind on the battlefield. After being entangled for so many years, his body was getting worse and worse. I’ve tried all kinds of methods. Do you think there’s any way to deal with Chinese medicine?”
Upon hearing that, Su Yun quickly grasped a few keywords. Residual effects from the battlefield? Did this mean that these people had been to the battlefield before? What about his father?
Su Yun vaguely realized that he knew too little about his father. From the words and actions of his friends, Su Yun could sense that their identities were definitely not simple.
Although they were deliberately hiding, they could not escape Su Yun’s eyes. If he was an ordinary university student, he might not have realized it, but Su Yun was clearly no ordinary person.
To be able to become sworn brothers with such a person, perhaps his impression of his father had always been one-sided. Or perhaps, his father was deliberately hiding something?
When Divine Doctor Lü heard this, he requested to take Yin Lin’s pulse first. Although Yin Lin said that he was used to it after so many years, he still walked in front of Divine Doctor Lü and extended his right hand.
Unexpectedly, just as Divine Doctor Lü’s hand touched Yin Lin’s pulse, he quickly frowned. As the saying went, ‘I’m not afraid of western doctors smiling, but I’m afraid of Chinese medicine doctors’ frowning.’
After seeing Divine Doctor Lü’s expression suddenly turn solemn, everyone present became a little nervous.
“Divine Doctor, what’s going on? Can he still be saved?” Zhao Tianbao had a straightforward personality and did not have any scruples when he spoke. In addition, they were old friends for many years, so there was no need to fuss over anything.
However, Divine Doctor Lü did not speak at this moment. Instead, he raised the sleeve on his arm, and soon, a dark red strangulation mark appeared in front of everyone.
When Yang Shan saw this scene, she immediately covered her mouth in fear.
Su Guowei pulled Yang Shan into his arms and said with some heartache, “Old Yin’s illness is very evil. Once he gets sick, no one can control it. It’s as if he went berserk. Every time after that stage, Old Yin would not remember what happened when his illness acted up. However, once again, after knowing that his family had been hurt during the illness, Old Yin made his own decision.
“Every time his illness acted up, he would get someone to tie him up. No matter how he struggled, he would not let go until he woke up again. After so many years, his body is covered in such strangulation marks.”
A dark expression appeared on their faces. As for Yin Lin, he rolled up his sleeves again to block the strangulation marks. However, he looked at Su Yun and comforted him. “Kid, don’t be afraid. Uncle Lin isn’t a bad person.”
He seemed to be afraid that Su Yun would be frightened, so he was very experienced in explaining. Clearly, he cared a lot about a junior like Su Yun. This surprised Su Yun, but he hurriedly replied, “I know, Uncle Lin..”
