137 Yin Ming
Lin Xi was so shocked that she almost dropped the cup.
According to the rules of their Traditional Chinese Medicine families, if Guo Miao was Old Master Lin’s master, then he had to call her Guo Miao.
A Grandmaster?
Furthermore, the Lin family’s ancestors had set the rule that their family only had a father to a son.
Back then, Great-grandfather Lin had met a wandering doctor in Beijing. Later, he found out that this wandering doctor’s medical skills were very brilliant. Great-grandfather Lin had once acknowledged this wandering doctor as his foster father, and that was how he learned medical skills.
The wandering doctor even entered the Lin family’s ancestral hall.
“Grandpa, do you really want to take Guo Miao as your master? if that’s the case, then Guo Miao will be my God-great Grandpa.” Lin Xi was speechless.
“Why are you getting more and more backward?” Old Master Lin reprimanded.
“Dr. Lin, I know what you mean, but there’s no need for you to acknowledge me as your teacher.” Guo Miao put down the teacup in her hand, “I know that’s your family style, but our sect doesn’t have such a rule.”
Everyone turned to look at Guo Miao.
“My teacher is just a village doctor. He only has such brilliant medical skills because he has read a few long-lost medical books. It’s not a medical skill that was passed down from his ancestors. As long as you’re willing, I can share my skills with you. There’s no need to distinguish between master and disciple,” Guo Miao said slowly. “My master once said that the more people know about the knowledge of treating and saving people, the better, so I’m willing to share what I’ve learned with you.”
After listening to Guo Miao’s words, Old Master Lin was silent for a long time. In the end, he nodded. “Young lady, you have a bright future ahead of you. I shall declare you my friend today.”
Guo Miao also smiled.
“But since I’ve asked you for advice, I won’t take it for nothing. You can use all the herbs in my herb garden. If you need them, you can come and pick them any time.”
The old man took out a simple key. “Here, Dr. Guo. This is my sincerity for learning from you.”
Tong Xin and Zhong Wei were also stunned. One must know that this medicinal courtyard was a treasure to the old man. If they, the younger generation, wanted to go in and take a walk, they would be scolded for absorbing the spiritual energy of the medicine, but Guo Miao could go in and out as she pleased.
“Okay, I’ll document all the herbs I use and then help you replant them.” Guo Miao laughed.
The medicinal herbs in Western Zhejiang were very precious, and it was very difficult to cultivate them. She had recently planned to carry out a Chinese herb cultivation project, and the herb garden would be a good research sample.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to invite you to join my Chinese herbal medicine cultivation project.”
The moment he heard this old man, he got excited. “What project?”
“Many of our precious herbs require a very tricky environment, but I think we can simulate the environment in the laboratory. That way, we can mass-produce some precious herbs.”
After listening to Guo Miao’s plan, the old man nodded, his muddy eyes flashing with surprise.
“Young people nowadays are really amazing. Other than this, I have another thing that I need your help with. I have a patient,” Grandpa Lin said, “but his illness is too difficult to treat. I can’t cure him. Can you come with me to see him? ”
“Grandpa, you can’t be talking about Brother Yin Ming, right?” Lin Xi asked.
“Yes, I am.” As the old man spoke, a sorrowful expression appeared on his face. “Yin Ming is the descendant of my father’s teacher, but his health has been poor since he was young.”
Yin Ming’s great-great-grandfather was that wandering doctor.
Speaking of this, Lin Xi’s face also revealed a sad expression. “Brother Yin Ming and I grew up together, but his illness was very unique. He was born with it and has taken a lot of medicine over the years, but it never seems to get better. After Uncle Yin and Aunty Yin moved abroad because of business, Brother Yin Ming’s health has been deteriorating.”
At this point, everyone fell silent.
Guo Miao also didn’t quite understand. Which parent would be willing to leave their own son and go abroad?
“This child has had a tough life. I’ve been helping him seek medical advice for so many years, but now he might…” Tears welled up in Old Master Lin’s eyes, a rare sight.
“I’ll try my best.” Guo Miao listened to Yin Ming’s experience and felt that she was deeply touched. Wasn’t he also someone who had been abandoned by his biological parents?
