Chapter 98: Old Acquaintance.

It is late at night, but Hu Guangzhi is still awake, sitting alone, pouring and drinking by himself, talking to himself.

"Brother, I have found a promising talent, not inferior to Siyu in terms of character, temperament, talent, and diligence. If you were still here, you would also like him... Brother, I have decided to take him as my disciple, and teach him all my skills."

“本来吧觉得余生就呆在医馆治病救人也挺好,咱们刚开始学医的时候不就这么想的吗?做一个最忙碌的大夫,有着看不完的病人……这才是有真本事的大夫,不然谁找你看病不是?哈哈哈……”

"Brother, I know you were wrongly accused, especially Siyu. When she left, her eyes never closed, as if telling me, Master... I am unwilling." Hu Guangzhi's eyes reddened, he took a big sip of liquor that burned both his stomach and his heart. Translated: "Brother, I know you were wrongly accused, especially Siyu. When she left, her eyes never closed, as if telling me, Master... I am unwilling." Hu Guangzhi's eyes reddened, he took a big sip of liquor that burned both his stomach and his heart.

Tao Siyu is his disciple, but he treats Siyu as his own daughter. Tao Weicheng is also his good brother. The only emotional bond he has in this world is with the Tao family. However, a catastrophe four years ago caused him to lose his good brother and his good disciple...

Over the past four years, he has numbed himself with busyness every day. He loathes his own helplessness, unable to clear his brothers' grievances or provide justice to his apprentice.

But now, it seems like an opportunity has presented itself.

"Brother, I want to return to the Tai Hospital. There are some things I must do, even if I end up failing and getting crushed to pieces, at least I have tried my best and will have no regrets. After all, I am alone and my medical skills have been inherited, so there is nothing to regret..."

Hu Guangzhi laughed, tears in his eyes, poured himself a full glass, raised it to the air and said, "Cheers, dear Wei Cheng! In the future, let us drink together again in the realm of the dead, until we're both completely intoxicated and refuse to return."

The next morning, Hu Guangzhi went to the clinic and saw a nun standing outside the clinic.

"Are you here to ask for alms or to seek medical treatment?"

Hu Guangzhi had no intention of paying attention to the nun and walked straight past her.

"Big Brother Hu."

Hu Guangzhi's footsteps paused, he turned around to look at the nun, his eyes gradually revealing a shocked and incredulous expression: "Are you... Huiru?"

It had been over a decade since they last met, and the person's appearance had undergone significant changes, but Hu Guangzhi still recognized her.

Tao Huiru, Tao Weicheng's only sister, disappeared over a decade ago due to emotional troubles and has not been heard from since.

When the Tao family encountered trouble, Tao Weicheng was still grateful that although Huiru's whereabouts were unknown, it was still better than losing lives.

I didn't expect her to become a nun after getting married.

"It's me, Brother Hu. Can I talk to you for a moment?"

胡广志不加思索:“你稍等我片刻,我进去交代一下。”

Suddenly, Hu Guangzhi appeared and took Tao Huiru to his house.

"Where have you been all these years? Do you know how worried your brother has been, searching everywhere for you?" Hu Guangzhi poured a glass of water for Tao Huiru and began questioning her, but he didn't mention that he had also been searching for her for many years.

Tao Huiru smiled bitterly, "I joined the monastery at the foot of Xishan and have been there all along. In fact, I have already contacted my brother, but I asked him to keep it a secret. So, only my brother and Siyu from the Tao family knew that I was there."

Hu Guangzhi: Uh... Tao Wei Cheng, how could you keep it from me that he was involved?

“所以,当初传言是个出家人替陶家人收了尸,那个出家人就是你?”胡广志问道。那时他想替兄弟一家收尸来着,但官府不让,说这等逆贼要暴尸三日,后来来了个出家人,出家人慈悲为怀,官府也不好再阻拦,等他得到消息,陶唯诚一家四口的尸首已经被收走了,去向不明,此事令他遗憾至今。

"It was me. I buried them at the foot of the West Mountain. Not only that, but I also took a strand of Siyu's hair and offered it in front of the Buddha, reciting scriptures and praying day and night, because this child... has never closed their eyes." Tao Huiru's voice choked with emotions.

After more than ten years of practice, she still couldn't achieve the state of six senses purity. The tragic death of the Tao family has become the biggest obstacle to her understanding of Buddhism, and every time she thinks about it, her heart aches unbearably.

Hu Guangzhi sighed and asked, "You came here today for..."

"I came for Siyu."

Hu Guangzhi was at a loss, not understanding what it meant.

"There is something I have to tell you, you may not believe it because it is too unbelievable, but I cannot find a reason not to believe it. On the day of Buddha Sakyamuni's birthday, a young lady with a strange poison came to Jingci Temple. She said that Siyu had sent her a dream, asking her to come and ask for my help in detoxification. She knows that I am Siyu's aunt." Translated into English:

Hu Guangzhi widened his eyes, is there really such a thing?

"I know Siyu's character. If she is determined to keep a secret, she will definitely do so."

Hu Guangzhi nodded, "She even kept it from me, her master!"

So I had to believe it and helped the young lady detoxify. Then yesterday, she came to me again and told me that she was able to obtain something that Siyu had hidden with Siyu's guidance. It was the silver needle pouch I had given Siyu, as well as the "Lingxi Notes"... Afterwards, Siyu asked her to come find you and hoped that she could become your disciple and fulfill her unfinished wish.

胡广志整个人都懵了,这种事也只有鬼神志里才有吧?

“可是……并没有什么小姐前来找过我。”胡广志道。

“她为了方便行事,乔装打扮已经来找过你了,而且获得了你的认可。”

Hu Guangzhi's eyes widened: "Are you saying... Zhen Rian?"

"Rian is actually a character from her name. Her real name is Lin Yannan, the eldest daughter of the Ding'an Marquis Mansion." Tao Huiru looked at Hu Big Brother's astonished expression and no wonder Lin Yannan asked her to come. Otherwise, if Hu Big Brother knew her true identity, he would definitely not accept her as his disciple.

Hu Guangzhi's mind was in chaos after hearing the news that Zhen Rian is a woman, and she is also the eldest daughter of the Dingan Marquis Mansion. He couldn't react for a while, or more accurately, he couldn't accept this fact.

That kid indeed looks delicate, but clearly appears to be a young boy! How did they suddenly become a girl?

"She didn't want to hide her true identity from you anymore, to avoid being accused of deceit by you. But she also didn't dare to reveal it herself, so she asked me to come and explain the reason to you, Brother Hu. She said that Siyu saved her life, so she wants to help the Tao family seek justice. Moreover, she has already found out that the Tao family's wrongful case is closely related to the death of her father, Lord Ding'an."

“她当真这么说?”

“是,她很坚定。”

胡广志沉思良久:“我有一点疑问,就我观察,她的医术相当了得,比起太医院的太医都不遑多让,她有如此医术,为了还要求你帮她解毒?她自己解不了?”

Before, she had only read a few medical books and understood only the superficial knowledge, all of which was taught by Siyu in her dreams. Brother Hu, I was thinking, could it be that I offered Siyu's hair in front of the Buddha, recited sutras and prayed daily, so the Buddha appeared, and in this way fulfilled Siyu's wish?
