Lin Silang hurriedly took over his niece who was picked up like a kitten by the mountain chief, carefully checked whether she was injured, and after confirming that she was intact, he dusted off the dust on her body and touched her little nose.
"My fourth uncle was scared to death. Fortunately, there is no big problem. What if my face is disfigured and I cannot get married when I grow up?"
Xiangyun chuckled, slapped Shiro on the cheek, and mumbled "Su, Su" in his mouth.
Lin Silang was stunned for a moment, then pointed in his direction in shock: "Abao, did you just call me? Call me again, call me again!"
"Su, uncle."
Lin Silang's face was filled with ecstasy. He completely forgot about the purpose of his trip home. He picked up Xiangyun and ran to the courtyard in one breath, shouting proudly.
"A Bao can talk! A Bao can call people!"
Zheng and Lin Laosan had just finished taking a bath, so they rushed out of the house and said the same thing.
"Who shouted?"
"Who shouted?"
Mrs. Lin also ran out of the pharmacy, still holding the silver needle used for acupuncture for patients, and the wind was blowing at her feet.
Who would have thought that three months ago she was still half paralyzed lying in bed and unable to take care of herself.
"Did you call me grandma?" Mrs. Lin's eyes gleamed, as if her precious granddaughter would have died of sadness if she hadn't called her "grandma".
The whole family soon gathered in the small courtyard.
Pei Shanchang held the heater with both hands and saw the student lifting the little girl above his head with pride and triumph.
"Call Uncle De! I was the first one Bao called!"
Lin Laosan had a long face, and Mrs. Zheng was equally dumbfounded.
Old Mrs. Lin snorted and took her granddaughter: "Have you agreed that grandma is the best in the world? You little troublemaker, please call grandma to listen, otherwise grandma will be angry!"
Xiangyun stretched out his little hand and touched Mrs. Lin's cheek, just like smoothing a lion's fur, and shouted in a very cooperative manner, "Come on, come on".
Old Mrs. Lin was so drunk that her heart was numb from the two sounds of milk, and she kissed her precious granddaughter fiercely.
"Grandma's sweet baby, I love you so much!"
Lin Laosan and Zheng rushed forward to fight for their daughter's third voice.
In the end, Ms. Zheng Zhujun won and got the clearest "mother" sound from her daughter.
But Lin Laosan was so angry that he wanted his daughter to call her daddy. Unfortunately, the pronunciation was a bit difficult. Xiao Xiangyun said that she couldn't do it yet.
Lin Silang saw the inappropriate white color in the picture of the whole family enjoying themselves, and suddenly remembered that he still had an extremely important matter to deal with.
He quickly introduced Pei Shanchang to his family.
The Lin family had just noticed that there was an extra guest at home, and they heard that the headmaster of Liuheguan Academy was visiting.
The first reaction was that Lin Silang had committed a crime in the academy, and even Xiangyun felt the same way.
When did a home visit require the principal to visit in person? What did the fourth uncle do at school?
Boss Lin grabbed his younger brother's ears and bowed to the mountain leader: "The child is young and ignorant. Did he get into a fight with his classmates?"
Lin Laosan also glared at his younger brother: "Excuse me, sir, please go there in person. We will definitely educate him well."
It’s not the fault of the brothers for misunderstanding Lin Silang, it’s because he has a long criminal record.
When he was in Qinghe Town, he was often bullied by his classmates because he was shorter than his peers. Lin Silang also had a stubborn temper. He learned from the Zhang family since he was a child and would fight if he didn't obey.
Despite his small stature, he was very agile in fights. He beat the children who bullied him several times until his face was bruised and swollen. In the end, he came to Mrs. Lin's house crying to argue with him.
The Lin family all thought it would be the same this time. Someone in the college must have bullied their younger brother. They talked about educating him well, but looked up and down to see if Lin Silang was injured.
As soon as Lin Silang saw the awkward looks in his family's eyes, he knew that they were thinking wrongly. He glanced at the mountain chief uncomfortably and muttered.
"What kind of fight is this? I'm very well behaved. Can you please be kind to me?"
The Lin family members looked at each other with doubts on their faces. What kind of thing could trouble the head of a courtyard to come to a lowly place?
It was Mrs. Lin who noticed the other party's poor complexion and was the first to react.
"It's very windy outside. Why don't you go to the pharmacy and sit for a while? Sir, I feel aggrieved by the humbleness."
Chief Pei nodded in agreement. When he walked into the Lin's Pharmacy, he was surprised to see the small but complete furnishings inside.
There were two farmers in cloth clothes, lying on the couch, with dense silver needles stuck in their heads, like hedgehogs.
The person standing aside to perform acupuncture on the two of them was a boy under ten years old, which inevitably made Chief Pei even more stunned and made him re-evaluate the Lin family's medical skills.
Chun Sheng, who was cured of rheumatism some time ago, has become a die-hard fan of the Lin family. When he had a headache and fever, he ran to the hospital as soon as possible.
I usually have nothing wrong with her, and I like to go to Mrs. Lin to prick acupuncture points to ventilate the blood. After a few months, my whole person seems to be rejuvenated, and my mental outlook seems to be a different person.
Many people in the village would make fun of Chun Sheng when they met him, wondering if he was experiencing his second spring.
When he saw a handsome young man coming in, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly expressed his surprise.
"Chief Pei, are you here to see a doctor? Oh... I am the Chunsheng who delivered the three-yellow chickens to the cafeteria of Liuheguan Academy. You even praised my chickens for raising them well!"
Seeing that Chief Pei obviously didn't recognize him, he was not discouraged and waved his hand, "You are busy and don't remember that I am normal. Aunt Lin's medical skills are very good. You just come to see her!"
The country people were warm-hearted. Chief Pei Shan responded with a smile and a gentle attitude, and followed Mrs. Lin into the back room.
Chun Sheng patted the person next to him, craned his neck and looked in: "As expected of a scholar, his demeanor is different from that of us farmers, huh?"
Only the sound of snoring from next door responded to him.
In the back room, Mrs. Lin poured a cup of cold-repelling tea for Pei Shanchang.
Pei Shanchang drank it all in one gulp, and the cold wind brought along the way dissipated instantly. His cold palms began to sweat, and he even felt that the hand warmer was a little hot.
"I see that your husband is always warming the stove. Are you afraid of the cold?" Mrs. Lin spoke before him.
"Yes, I have been suffering from a weak disease since I was a child. I have seen many doctors, but with little effect. I accidentally got some cold-repelling tea from your house that day. I drank it and the effect was amazing, so I wanted to buy some to prepare."
The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days, and the chill from the bottom of my heart reminds Pei Shanchang that heavy snow will come.
In previous years, others could not go out in Kyoto in this kind of weather, not to mention that Liuhe is located in the south, the weather is cold and cold, the chill is like fine pinpricks, seeping from the limbs and bones into the blood, making sleeping at night a luxury.
Pei Shanchang did not hold out hope for a cure, but he had just finished drinking the cold-repelling tea today, and his limbs, which had been warmed all the time, tended to become stiff again.
It happened that the student was on vacation, so he planned to come back with Lin Silang. Of course, he was embarrassed to ask the student's parents to give it to him, so he directly said to buy it.
How could Mrs. Lin accept the money? She quickly sealed her granddaughter's newly made tea bags in paper bags and tied them with a string. She made a heavy bag, enough for two months.
My granddaughter sleeps for a long time every day, and when she wakes up, she can always conjure up a lot of cold-repelling tea out of thin air.
As time passed, Mrs. Lin no longer found it strange. In those folk painting books, didn't they all say that Taoist masters relied on meditation and retreat to improve their cultivation?
Po is so capable, he must be the reincarnation of a fairy, and it is normal for him to be able to cast spells.
Pei Shanzhang took out a piece of silver, which was quite large, containing five or six taels. Fearing that the Lin family would not accept it, he specially handed it over to Xiangyun, who had shining eyes.
Xiangyun felt that the silver in his hand was as heavy as a stone, and he laughed out loud, holding it tightly with his little hands.
Mrs. Lin looked at it and shook her head. Her granddaughter was good at everything, but she had a little problem with being greedy for money, which often made people dumbfounded.
"Since you're here, Chief Shan, why don't you let my mother take your pulse? In Lianhua Village, everyone praises my mother for her good medical skills!"
Lin Silang quickly gave Mrs. Lin a wink.
There are not many opportunities to get close to the headmaster of the academy. The Lin family is not as good as those young masters from rich families who can use money to build relationships, so they can only work elsewhere.
Mrs. Lin understood, but she was a little worried in her heart. She knew very well how good her medical skills were.
In the past few months, if it hadn't been for the help behind the scenes by his granddaughter, the reputation of the Lin Family Medical Center would not have spread so quickly in the surrounding villages.
Nowadays, apart from Baohe Hall in town, Lin Family Medical Center has the best reputation.
Early this morning, there were more than a dozen waves of customers just buying cold-repelling tea and rheumatism plasters.
If Mrs. Lin didn't feel sorry for her granddaughter and was afraid that she would be tired, so she decided to sell the medicine every day, there would be speculative scalpers outside and resell it second-hand at a high price.
Seeing the Lin family's enthusiasm, Mr. Pei couldn't shirk it.
After half a cup of tea, as expected, he saw the knotted brows and pursed lips on Mrs. Lin's face, looking helpless.
As usual, Mrs. Lin found a quiet place to chat with her granddaughter after checking her pulse.
When she appeared in the back room again, the old woman's face, which had been full of sorrow just now, had changed into a look of spring breeze.
Shanchang Pei thought she was forcing a smile and didn't want to ruin his hope, so he didn't care.
"It doesn't matter, my illness is an old one. I have been treated by no less than a hundred doctors since I was a child. Whether it is the miracle doctor that everyone praises or the famous imperial doctor, they all say that it cannot be completely cured..."
"It can be cured."
"It's a stubborn disease, and you're helpless to do anything about it...what?" Shanchang Pei thought he heard wrongly, and looked at Old Mrs. Lin in surprise, "You just said...that it can be cured?"
Mrs. Lin asked, "What should I do?" Every time she used her granddaughter to show off her power, she felt extremely happy, panicked and satisfied.
Looking at the little granddaughter again, she was still squeezing her little hands. Her big eyes looked innocent at everything. She was no different from ordinary children. Who would have thought that she was actually a little miracle doctor!
Shanchang Pei was still a little confused and stared at Lin Silang in disbelief.
Until Lin Silang nodded fiercely at him: "Shan Chief, my mother said it can be cured!"
A hope that had not appeared for a long time spread in his heart.
Then...let's try again!
What if it succeeds?
He also wants to see the snow scenery, and he also wants to go hiking and swimming with his friends in winter, instead of just staying in a small place, unable to do without the earth dragon, unable to take off his robe, and becoming what everyone calls the "Sick Yangzi Master" .
Because it was cold outside and heavy snow seemed to be coming in the next few days, it was inconvenient for Mr. Pei to go out, so he asked Mrs. Lin to stay in the academy for a while.
Chunsheng, who was doing acupuncture outside the house, burst into tears when he heard it: "Auntie, what should we do?"
Tianci was already pulling out the needles for the two of them: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm here. Grandma has already taught me how to prescribe simple medicine for headaches and brain fever."
After studying next to Mrs. Lin for several months, Lin Tianci's medical skills have improved significantly. Now grabbing and recognizing medicine is no problem at all, and his movements are more mature than those of an apprentice who has been studying for several years in the town's medical clinic.
Chun Sheng watched Tianci grow up all the way. He patted him on the shoulder and laughed and said, "There is a successor to the Lin Family Medical Clinic!"
There was a heavy snowfall that night, and the next day, just as the rooster crowed, Lin Silang packed his parcel and prepared to take Mrs. Lin to the academy with him.
Xiangyun was brought up by Mrs. Lin since he was a child, so naturally he wanted to follow her.
In addition, Zheng and Lin Laosan are now working in the town, so it is convenient for them to take care of them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door to the small courtyard, there was already a carriage waiting at the door.
The school superintendent who had come before smiled and handed over to everyone: "It's snowy and the road is slippery. The mountain chief asked me to pick up Dr. Lin."
Xiangyun was wearing a small floral jacket, which was chubby. He stretched out his chubby fingers and said: "Horse, horse."
The superintendent noticed that she was smart, and when he asked, he found out that Xiangyun was not even eight months old, but could already walk and speak some simple words.
His eyes lit up and he praised her for being smart.
Xiangyun laughed generously, showing his two small front teeth, and staggered towards the carriage.
Lin Silang, who was following behind, was afraid that she would fall, so he spread his arms behind him and followed his little niece step by step.
There was a heater in the car, and the group of people arrived at Liuheguan Academy in less than an hour, cutting off the ice and snow from the outside world.
Snowflakes were flying in the sky again, causing chaos and threatening to cover the entire heaven and earth.
