Su Lin closed his eyes and waited for a moment. In his soul's perception, a moving light point slowly walked towards the Acid Rain Hotel.
He looked carefully and saw that this man was handsome and majestic. His face was engraved with vicissitudes of life like the Medicine King of Medicine King Valley, but the sparkle and majesty in his eyes were not diminished at all. Although he was old, his heart remained the same. young.
Su Lin did not stand up to greet him. After the old man walked to the window seat, he only heard the latter shout: "Xiaoer, can someone come to solve my problem today?"
After seeing the old man who always came there every day, the waiter who was taking a nap at the counter suddenly opened his eyes, put the rag in his hand, and hurriedly greeted him and said: "Hey, you are here, are you still the third child today?"
The waiter was naturally referring to a pot of old wine and two plates of side dishes.
After the waiter didn't reply to his words, the old man knew it. It seemed that no one could solve this couplet. He felt slightly disappointed and signaled the waiter to serve the food and wine.
But with a glance from the corner of his eye, he noticed that the wooden sign at the door seemed to have been moved, so he asked in a different tone: "Xiaoer, has anyone been interested in this couplet recently?"
Without waiting for the waiter to answer, Su Lin walked to the old man's table and motioned to the waiter to prepare some more food, drinks and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
The old man didn't take it seriously that a friend was visiting. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "My little friend, did you move the couplet at the door?"
Su Lin thought that although it was the waiter who moved, it was because of him after all, so he nodded.
"Mr. Xue, long time no see!" He pulled over the bench and sat directly opposite the old man as if he was familiar with him.
"Oh? Do you know me?" The old man hasn't been out for a long time. His glory days have passed. Unlike veterans like Cheng Yaojin who are still active on the front line, he has been ostracized and few among the younger generation can remember him. He did.
Because of this, he betrothed his great-granddaughter to the old Cheng family, hoping to restore the Xue family's former glory.
But it is strange to say that Cheng Yaojin of the old Cheng family entered the official position more than ten years earlier than his grandson Xue Rengui. After so many years of emperor replacement, his favor remained the same as before.
On the contrary, he had not even gained any honors in the bloody battles in the past, but his son had experienced numerous military exploits and became a side by side king in his forties, and the entire family also enjoyed glory.
But with the passage of time and Sheng En's suspicion, the Xue family gradually declined.
A hundred years have passed since the establishment of the mansion, and the Xue family has continued for nearly a hundred years. The reason why he is still alive is entirely due to the arrangement of the mysterious leader. After completing this mission, he also returned to dust. Back home.
In the end, no one from the Xue family was able to step into the sequence, because they just didn’t know whether Dong Luo could fulfill his last wish.
Seeing the young man in front of him, Mr. Xue thought of a lot for a moment. A trace of fatigue flashed in his originally bright eyes. Then, he sighed and said, "Maybe he is old. Is my friend an old friend?"
"Does Mrs. Xue still remember Lin Qingtian?" Lin Qingtian is Su Lin's grandfather in this world. According to the prompts from the closed-loop space, it was he who negotiated with Mr. Xue and decided on the marriage between Su Lin and Xue Dongluo.
"You are Lin Su!" Mr. Xue's expression was shocked, and he looked particularly excited. It seems that the only person in the Lin family who is so young is Lin Su, the grandson of Lin Qingtian.
"Yes, Mr. Xue." Su Lin nodded. He didn't have much objection to the former's regret of the marriage, and he couldn't see any guilt or other expressions in his eyes.
The declining Lin family and the Su family were not on the same starting line, so he couldn't say much.
While he was talking, the waiter's food and wine had been placed neatly on the old table, including two bottles of white wine, a plate of peanuts, a silkworm chrysalis, and two plates of timely cold dishes. It was simple but made people feel like meeting an old friend should be like this.
Su Lin also showed no respect for the etiquette of juniors. He took a mouthful of cold vegetables and chewed it for a while before going straight to the topic: "You can find a way to save Dongluo."
The old man was also unceremonious. He poured himself a glass of wine with his turbid hands calmly. He then took Su Lin's wine glass and filled it up. He smiled and took a few sips and looked cheerful.
"She has sealed herself away. A few days ago, a masked woman wearing a raincoat and claiming to be a mentor came to me and said that if someone could solve this couplet, Dongluo could be saved.
"The previous sentence, spending a lot of money to get a child, is nothing more than Dong Luo's marriage. This is related to two people. One is Cheng Tianxiao, the grandson of the old general Cheng Yaojin's family, and the other is Dong Luo's previous marriage. Lin Su, who had an engagement that ended up being annulled, is you."
Maybe he was too anxious to drink and choked. The old man's face turned red and he kept coughing. It was not until he took two bites of side dishes that the symptoms were relieved.
But through mental observation, Su Lin found that a cunning light flashed in the corner of the other party's eyes. He was just pretending to cough to relieve the embarrassment of breaking off the engagement. If it weren't for the observation of the ancient star tree, he might really be attracted by the old man in front of him. Got fooled.
But Su Lin no longer cares about these things. He just wants to assemble Lei Xuan's team as soon as possible and fulfill the mission of a captain.
After seeing that Su Lin didn't have any extreme mood swings, the old man continued to eat the food and said casually:
"As for Cheng Tianxiao, I come here at all hours every day. At least until now, I have never seen her, so in this sense, I prefer you to save Dong Luo."
Perhaps because he has been in a high position for a long time, the old man has no gesture of begging for help. Instead, he behaves as he should. It seems that if you don't save him, you will be the loser.
After seeing that Su Lin was still eating by himself without much reaction, the old man gave another explanation for the heavy money asking for a child: "Lin Su, maybe you can understand the heavy money asking for a child as after you saved Dong Luo. , she took the initiative to give birth to a son for you in return."
"Ahem", it was Su Lin's turn to almost choke when he was eating. He took a big gulp of white wine. It was not as spicy as expected, but he just felt a warm current slowly flowing through his body.
After all, the degree of liquor in this world is equivalent to the degree of beer in the real world.
"What about the second couplet?" Su Lin didn't worry about the first couplet. He was more concerned about the meaning of the entire couplet.
"As for the second line, you have to solve it yourself. I have reminded you enough. Life and death are determined by fate. You might as well consider it from the perspective of a doctor. My time is up. If you can think of the answer, I will come back again. Showed up to give you a surprise."
After saying that, the old man stood up, took a coir rain hat from the door, and disappeared in the midday sunshine.
Su Lin was still sitting in front of the window holding dishes silently, as if the old man had never appeared.
"Start from the doctor's point of view? Doctors pay attention to looking, hearing and asking questions. The word 'look' cannot be completed because of the obstruction of the A-shaped room; where does the word 'smell' come from? There is no smell coming from Xue Dongluo's room. "As for the word 'ask', you cannot ask Dongluo, but you have asked the old man; as for the word 'qie', it is basically the same as the word 'wang'. If you can't see it, there is no point in 'cutting' the pulse for medical treatment."
The words "hope, hear, inquire and know" about medical science flashed through his mind one by one, but were dismissed one by one because from a doctor's point of view, these were all things he couldn't do.
"That's not right." When Su Lin looked at the old man who disappeared outside the door, he quickly caught an idea in his mind: "If you start from your own perspective, then at least one of the four words "look, hear, ask and cut" is feasible.
Su Lin stood up immediately and called the waiter to ask about relevant matters.
