Chapter 679 The 2st Child

As soon as Shao Jun and Wu Lei walked into the courtyard, they smelled the smell of herbs. Lei Yi, who was walking in front, hurriedly packed up some herbs drying in the yard and said, "I'm sorry, the house is a bit messy... It has been raining for a few days, and I was afraid that these herbs would get damp, so I took it out to dry in the sunshine today."

After Lei Yi invited the two of them into the house, he turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea. Shao Jun took the opportunity to look at the house and found that although the furnishings were old, it was very clean inside and out. You can tell by looking at this young man named Lei Yi that he is a very diligent young man...

At this time, Lei Yi came out with a pot of tea, poured it for the two of them and said, "I'm sorry, we are in the countryside here. There is no coffee or milk tea, only herbal tea prepared by myself. Drinking it can nourish the liver and improve eyesight..."

After hearing this, Wu Lei took a look at the tea leaves in the cup and found that there were indeed scattered wolfberries and chrysanthemums. In addition, there were some unknown leaves, which must be some kind of herbal medicine that he didn't recognize.Then he picked it up and took a sip, and found that it tasted pretty good, with a slight aftertaste.

Lei Yi seemed to be worried that Shao and Jun would dislike the herbal tea he made. Seeing that they all drank it naturally, Lei Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My master is rarely at home. He occasionally comes back to get some herbs. The last time I came back was two or three months ago, do you have anything to do with him?"

Shao Jun looked at Lei Yi's innocent eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to tell him that Mr. Lei was dead, so he casually asked Lei Yi something about himself, "You have been studying with Mr. Lei since you were a child. Medical skills?”

Lei Yi shook his head and said, "I met the master when I was almost ten years old. Our family was poor and we had many children. When the master saw that I was pitiful and interested in medicine, he accepted me as his disciple and took me out of the mountains. At that time, I was too young and didn’t understand anything. I only knew that Master gave my parents 5000 yuan, but now that I think about it...it’s actually no different than selling me.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Jun immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so he quickly asked him, "How many children did you have at home at that time?"

"Besides me, there are eleven others..." Lei Yi said calmly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

But these words shocked Shao Jun and Wu Lei. Who can have twelve children these days?Seeing the surprised expressions on Shao Jun and Wu Lei's faces, Lei Yi smiled bitterly and said, "My parents probably didn't go to school. Anyway, I didn't know how to read when I was brought out by the master. I have the impression that they have always taken me with them." Living in the mountains with my brother and sister, my father would occasionally go to the market below the mountain to sell the potatoes and vegetables grown at home, and then buy some daily necessities that could not be grown in the mountains."

"Where did you live at that time?" Wu Lei asked curiously. He wanted to see which backward place still had people living such a primitive life.

Unexpectedly, Lei Yi shook his head and said, "I don't remember it for a long time... Because I was young and illiterate at the time, I didn't even know what the name of the place where I lived was called. I only occasionally heard my parents say it was called Blind Mountain, but at that time we The accents of the whole family are very strong, so it’s hard to tell whether it’s Mangshan, Mangshan, or some other mountain.”

Shao Jun asked with some confusion after hearing this, "Didn't you ask your master later?"

Unexpectedly, Lei Yi's eyes grew colder and he asked Shao Jun, "Why are you asking? The kind of parents who can sell their children to strangers... maybe they will be sold again if they get them back. Instead of doing that, it's better to follow Master, there is a way out."

Shao Jun was also asked for a moment. He didn't expect Lei Yi to have such a difficult background at such a young age, so he had to change the topic and said, "So, were you happy living with Yuansheng Lei?"

"Not bad...at least Master didn't make me hungry." Lei Yi replied with a smile.

But for some reason, Shao Jun felt that Lei Yi's answer was a bit too official and lacked real feelings, so he weighed it for a while and went straight to the topic and said, "Yuansheng Lei passed away at Renai Hospital in Beidou City two days ago... "What?!" Lei Yi stood up with a look of shock.

Wu Lei could tell from Lei Yi's shock that he probably didn't know about Lei Yuan's life and death in advance, so he had such a real reaction, but the strange thing was that he didn't see any sadness in his eyes. The emotion was more of shock...

Seeing Shao Jun and Wu Lei looking at him in surprise, Lei Yi said incoherently, "How could this happen? I...my master's body has always been strong! How could he die of illness?! This is impossible! ah?!"

"We are also very sorry for the death of your master...and there is one more thing I hope you can be mentally prepared for." Shao Jun said in a heavy tone.

Lei Yi was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "You said..."

After Shao Jun considered his words, he said seriously, "Logically speaking, we can only inform the family of the deceased about this situation, but since Mr. Lei only has an apprentice like you, we can only tell you that he did not die of illness."

Lei Yi's expression became even more confused after hearing this, "Didn't he die of illness? How did he die?!"

Wu Lei on the side listened and explained, "We can only tell you now that he died of unnatural death... We can't tell you the rest until the case is completely over."

After hearing this, Lei Yi was immediately stunned on the spot. He seemed to be unable to accept the news of Lei Yuansheng's death for a while. After that, Shao Jun asked him a few more questions and he answered them absent-mindedly. He seemed to be very affected by Lei Yuansheng's death. It was like a big blow... In the end, Shao Jun left his contact information so that Lei Yi could call him at any time if he remembered anything about Lei Yuansheng.

After seeing off Shao Jun and Wu Lei, Lei Yi stood alone at the door of the courtyard for a long time. Finally, he slowly stepped out of the door as if he had made a lot of determination. At this time, a breeze blew gently. Passing his cheek, a feeling of relaxation and joy suddenly arose in my heart...

At this time, a villager came towards me. He looked surprised when he saw Lei Yi and said, "Yiyazi, are you feeling well? You can go out now?!"

Lei Yi smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Wu... I feel much better these days. In the future, I can also go out for medical treatment when Master is away."

Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately said happily, "That's great! I'm going to tell the village chief the good news. This way, even if Dr. Lei is not at home, we will have a doctor in Tianjing Village who can come to see a doctor!"
