Reborn Doctor

Chapter 30

Kou Tong and Zimo were taken aback when they first heard the news that Master was leaving.

"Where is Master going?" Kou Tong asked hurriedly, his heart tightened.

"What does it matter where you go?" The old man didn't answer Kou Tong's words, but said: "Of course I want to go where I should go. I'm not from Fanshui Town, and I didn't intend to stay here .But because I met you, I developed a love for talent, so I stayed for you."

When Kou Tong heard this, she felt very sad. In the past two years of getting along, she had already regarded the old man as a relative.

"Since Master was able to stay for me back then, why can't he now?"

Looking at Kou Tong's anxious face, the old man was both relieved and reluctant: "Girl, you are so crazy!"

The old man stood up from the reclining chair, turned his back to Kou Tong and said: "There is always a banquet in the world, and everything in the world is like this. When fate comes, it will gather, and if fate ends, it will disperse. Why do you force it? There are many things that cannot be done by manpower." In short, you are so smart, you must understand what Master said, right?"

After two years of getting along, the old man not only entrusted Kou Tong with medical skills, but also his duty as a doctor, the qualities and conscience that a doctor should have.Without the old man, it would be impossible for Kou Tong to master so many medical skills so quickly, let alone change his current life.The fate of Kou Tong changed by the old man is the noble person she is destined for.

Kou Tong thought about it, tears blurred his eyes.

Master is kind and very talkative, but once he decides something, he can't change it no matter what.He turned his back, just to think about it for himself, and then agreed.When he agreed, he would turn around and talk to himself.

Kou Tong looked at the master's snowy hair and somewhat bent back, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and said with a choked voice: "I would like to follow Master's instruction!"

The old man turned his head and said to Kou Tong: "Girl, don't be sad. As a doctor, it's good to be able to protect one side. If you can travel all over the world, experience different lives, see more people, and heal more diseases, you will also be able to protect yourself." It might not be a good thing. And Master, I have always been just a wandering doctor, and I have become accustomed to living in the world. Maybe one day, Master will come back to you when he is tired from walking!"

"Yes! At that time, the apprentice will open a medical clinic and let the master be a doctor in the medical clinic, okay?" Kou Tong was crying, looking forward to the day when the master and the apprentice would meet again.

"Okay, okay, okay!" The old man smiled heartily, "Master has no children, and he's pointing at you two to take care of me until the end of my life!"

"Girl, don't be sad. After all, I'm not leaving today. It's still a few months away! You have to cry, it's not too late to cry when I really leave!"

"Hmm!" Kou Tong wiped away tears.

Kou Tong bid farewell to Master as usual, and gave Zimo a look by the way.

Zimo received Kou Tong's signal and followed Kou Tong to the door: "Senior Sister, what's the matter?"

"Junior Brother, do you know where Master is going?" Kou Tong asked.

"I don't know!" Zimo shook his head, with a blank look on his face: "Today, this is the first time I've heard of it. Master didn't tell me before."

"Oh!" Kou Tong looked at Zimo with some disappointment, and then told him: "From now on, when you are with Master, you must take good care of Master. His old man is getting old, you should follow him more and help me look after him. Master!"

"Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of Master!" Zimo promised Kou Tong.

Kou Tong went home as usual, walked to the door of Landlord Liu's house, and was about to turn into an alley when suddenly a person jumped out of the alley.

Kou Tong was startled.

Kou Tong stood on his feet and looked at the man wearing a moon-white long skirt and pink-green quilted trousers. He was of medium height with a slender figure.

The man said hoarsely, "Doctor Xiao Kou, you are back!"

"Well, it turned out to be Aunt Yang!" Kou Tong responded, "It will be dark soon, and the alley is very windy, what is Aunt Yang doing standing here, it's not good for her body to catch a cold."

"My body is just like this. Does it matter if I have a cold or not?" Aunt Yang laughed at herself, "I am here to wait for Doctor Kou."

It turned out to be waiting for me!
Kou Tong asked, "Auntie Yang, is there anything I need?"

"En!" Aunt Yang nodded, walked a few steps in front of Kou Tong, and said, "That's right, my wife said I was an ominous person, so she asked me to move out of the backyard. The place where I live now is the last one. into the house."

She said with a bitter smile: "The house is damp and moldy. The key is that there are many cockroaches and rats. I bought some rat poison, but there are chickens and ducks in the backyard. I am afraid that the chickens and ducks will accidentally eat the rat poison." They were killed by the medicine, so I wanted to ask Dr. Kou if the chickens and ducks would be poisoned to death after taking the rat poison."

Kou Tong couldn't help looking at Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang's face was cleansed and her hair was neatly combed. She looked like when she first came to Liu's house.If it wasn't for the tired look on his brows, Kou Tong would have almost forgotten that she had experienced the pain of bereavement.

Kou Tong remembered that in the past few months, Aunt Yang was still very haggard.It seems that Aunt Yang has come out of the shadow of losing her child.

But she is in a very pitiful situation now. She is injured and unable to have children. Landlord Liu no longer likes her, so Mrs. Liu let her live in the backyard where chickens and ducks are raised.Even if you want to use rat poison, you have to be careful, lest you cause trouble.

Kou Tong couldn't help sighing, she was also forced by the Zheng family to move to the dilapidated small side yard, although the two maids taunted her every day, but anyway, the Zheng family didn't go too far in terms of eating and drinking.Although the living is poor, it is much better than Aunt Yang.

It's really admirable that Aunt Yang can persevere in such a harsh environment.

Thinking of this, Kou Tong's voice couldn't help but soften a bit: "Rat poison is very poisonous, if chickens and ducks eat it, they will be poisoned to death, not only that, if someone eats the poisoned chickens and ducks, they will also be poisoned. If the treatment is not timely, I'm afraid there will be life-threatening. Aunt Yang, you should not use this rat poison. If there are really many rats, you can use mouse traps."

"So that's how it is!" Aunt Yang said thoughtfully, "Then I'm afraid this rat poison won't work!"

"En!" Kou Tong kindly reminded: "Aunt Yang should not use it! To avoid trouble in the future!"

"Well, tell me more about Doctor Kou. Fortunately, I haven't used this medicine yet!" Aunt Yang smiled slightly: "Then I'll go back first! More of you!"

"Auntie, you're welcome!" Kou Tong paused, "I didn't help much, Auntie has to be careful."

Aunt Yang smiled again, with a bit of relief: "Don't worry, Doctor Kou, I'll save it!"

That smile fell into Kou Tong's eyes, and he always felt a little weird!But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Kou Tong looked at Aunt Yang's pink-green back, turned around and went out of the alley.Kou Tong just walked home, Aunt Yang really likes to wear green clothes!In this cold day, people are afraid of washing their clothes, so they all wear black or dark ones. Only Aunt Yang is wearing a moon-white skirt and light green trousers, which are really rare in Fanshui Town.Landlord Liu is really cruel. He was so precious at the beginning, but now he just throws it away.

Kou Tong told Su Shi that he would not go to study medicine from tomorrow, and also said that the old man was going to leave.

It made Su sigh with emotion for a while: "...I am a woman, and I can't do anything for you. I originally thought that I have the master of the old genius doctor, and the junior brother of Zimo, who will always be your helper. At that time, we will return." Nanjing, let the old genius doctor go with you, and you will be counted on! Unexpectedly, the old genius doctor will leave!"

Back to Nanjing?
Kou Tong was taken aback: "Mother, do you want to go back to Nanjing?"

"Yes!" Su Shi nodded, "You are growing up day by day, and you will always return to your Nanjing family! You are already fifteen years old, how can you stay in this place all the time? Besides, there is also your marriage, so you should Mention it!"

marriage!Kou Tong couldn't help clenching her fists, she asked a little stiffly: "My marriage, does mother have any plans?"

Seeing that Kou Tong was a little unnatural, Su thought she was shy, so she said: "Don't be shy, the girl is getting older, she is going to marry after all. Besides, this marriage was arranged for you by your father when he was still alive. The other party's family background is very good, and our family can be regarded as a close match, your future father-in-law and your father are both students of the Imperial Hospital, and have a classmate friendship, when we return to Nanjing, this marriage should be mentioned!"

"It turned out to be my father's classmate. Why didn't I hear my mother mention it?" Kou Tong pretended to be casual and asked curiously.

Seeing that her daughter was not as shy as she imagined, Su nodded inwardly, Tong Niang was really becoming more and more like an adult.

"You were young, so I never told you. Now that you are a big girl, I thought I should let you know!" Su Shi said, "Your future husband's family will be in Nanjing, although it is not considered a A famous family, but not bad.

Your future father-in-law will be on duty at Nanzhili Imperial Hospital. He is an imperial physician. He has a son and a daughter in his family. Your husband is his legitimate son named Brother Xiu.The Zheng family wanted him to study medicine as well.You are interested in medical skills, and their family is also a medical heir. If you marry, the couple will be harmonious and complement each other. "

As Su said, he actually laughed: "When you were studying medicine, I planned this way, but I didn't expect it to be so. You and that Zheng Jiaxiu brother really answered the sentence "It's not a family. If you don’t enter a family.”

"Mother..." Kou Tong looked at Su's smiling face, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Then Zheng Shi... how old is Brother Zheng Jiaxiu?"

Su said: "He is two years older than you. He is seventeen years old this year. When I first saw him, he was only five years old! You have just learned to speak. I didn't expect time to pass so fast. In a blink of an eye, Ten years have passed!"

But Kou Tong said: "Mother, this marriage was arranged by my father before his death, but my father is no longer here, and you also know that my father is the one who was convicted after all, so will the Zheng family still accept such a marriage?"
