Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

The author has something to say: I am sorry to sleep until the end of the day... The memory is over

Lan Mulin came back, the old man asked them to stay overnight, Tian Tian pulled Nan Wang to sleep with him, Lan Mulin stood outside the door for a while, the old man stood behind him silently.

"Master, why did you come out?" Lan Mulin stood beside him and asked.

The old man sighed and said, "Thank you so much, we will never forget your life-saving grace."

"Master, you're welcome." Lan Mulin smiled brightly and clearly like a few stars in the night sky, the old man was stunned for a while, and then said: "My lord, can I tell you something?"

Lan Mulin nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"Let me tell you, the weather is fine today, you can watch the stars, I'll take you there!" Tian Tian whispered in Nan Wang's ear, pulling him to go out.

Nan Wang asked, "Will it be discovered?"

Tian Tian interrupted him and said: "It's okay, my father and mother are sleeping, and it's hard for grandpa to wake up when he sleeps, let's go!"

The two teenagers were holding hands and wanted to go out, but they saw that the door had been opened a crack, Nan Wang grabbed him and gestured with his fingers to his mouth, Tian Tian immediately fell silent.

The two turned their heads to eavesdrop on the movement outside.

"Many years ago, I had a daughter. She was the most beautiful girl in the whole village. When she was 18 years old, a very powerful swordsman came to our village. My daughter fell in love with her immediately. over him.

"The girl thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the whole village, and the swordsman would definitely fall in love with her. She ran to find her, and the swordsman really fell in love with her. They were together. No matter how her mother persuaded her, the girl would If he didn't listen, he insisted on following the swordsman.

"After they left, I heard that a child was born. Her mother died before she could see what her grandson looked like. The girl only thought that she had pissed her off to death, so she didn't dare to come back."

Tian Tian whispered: "Grandpa seems to be talking about my aunt."

Nan Wang looked at Tian Tian, ​​did not speak, and listened to him carefully.

"After a few years, the girl wrote a letter to her brother, saying that she was cheated by someone and didn't get married. They dumped her, and now she is alone with her child, which made her brother so angry that he couldn't sleep. , I want to find that swordsman to settle accounts, but he is no match for others, he was kicked out by others, and originally wanted to find the girl back, but who would have thought that the girl would..."

Speaking of this, the old man wiped away his tears, sighed and said, "The girl is just gone, her brother almost went crazy, and I am useless as an old man, I can't do anything, if it weren't for the young master, the only one in our family It's gone."

Lan Mulin comforted softly: "Master, let the past go, isn't he better?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, young master, I don't know, does that disciple of yours have a piece of jade with a plum blossom engraved on it?"

Lan Mulin nodded and said, "When I met him, I saw him holding it in his hand."

The old man sighed, and said slowly: "Before the girl left, she stole a piece of jade from her mother, and it was engraved with twining plum blossoms. It is a family heirloom of their family."

Lan Mulin was taken aback for a moment, and then understood.

Nan Wang, who was eavesdropping behind the door, was startled, his whole brain seemed to have shut down, and he couldn't even hear what he said afterwards.

"I'm the grandfather of that child. I think the young master is someone who can be entrusted to. I will entrust the child to you."

Lan Mulin leaned slightly and said, "Thank you for your trust, sir."

Nan Tian didn't understand what they were talking about, and was about to ask Nan Wang, but seeing him in a daze, he pulled him away and said, "They seem to be coming in!"

Only then did Nan Wang come back to his senses, he nodded dully, and followed him into the room.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand and covered the piece of jade around his neck.

The old man said: "You still don't want the child to know about him so early, that swordsman is really..."

The old man couldn't continue, lowered his head and sighed, Lan Mulin pondered for a moment, and said, "Master, is the swordsman's surname Nan?"

The old man nodded sadly, as if unwilling to speak again.

The next day, Lan Mulin brought Nan Wang to say goodbye, a group of people surrounded him, holding various things to give him as gifts, but Lan Mulin declined all of them one by one, Nan Wang was still a little reluctant to part with Tian Tian, ​​waved his hands and shouted Said: "I will come back to see you in the future!"

Tian Tian hid behind the old man and quietly wiped away his tears, watching the two go away.

"Grandpa, the plum blossom jade you mentioned seems to have a piece on Nan Wang's body."

"...Are you eavesdropping on me again!"

"Is that my aunt's jade?"

"No, that's your grandma's jade."

"Then why is it on Nan Wang?"

The old man stroked his hair, and the kind face could no longer withstand the erosion of the years, turning into marks like knife-cuts.

"Master, master, do you now know where the person who was under the illusion went?"

Lan Mulin led him while walking and said: "Those people went to a place, saw something, and were seen by someone with a heart, so in order to keep their mouth shut, they can only be unlucky."

Nan Wang asked, "Master, what did they see?"

Lan Mulin slightly curled the corners of his mouth, but he was speechless.

Nan Wang saw that he didn't speak, and said to himself: "Master, don't you know? Didn't they tell you?"

"Tell me." Lan Mulin smiled and patted his head, and said, "Master will tell you later."

Nanwang let out an "oh", thinking in his heart, this master must think that he is still young, but in fact he is not young anymore, he has already heard the general idea of ​​what he heard last night.

In this way, that old man is his grandfather, and Tian Tian is his cousin!

He was thinking about this in his heart, but he didn't want his master to know. Grandpa told him this because he must have wanted him to study medicine well with his master, and in the future, he would rely on his medical skills to walk the rivers and lakes and save the common people like his master.

However, what grandpa said was somewhat different from his dream. How did his mother die?Is it the same as what grandpa said, did he think of dying after being abandoned by his father, or did something happen back then?And his father, why would he abandon his mother?

These have been constantly circling in Nan Wang's mind, and every night when he closes his eyes, he thinks about these, so that the master can see that there is something strange about him.

"what are you thinking about?"

Lan Mulin looked at him in a daze while nibbling on the buns, so he couldn't help reaching out and patted his head.

They have already arrived in Yangzhou, passed by a small town, and settled here. The owner of the inn heard that they were medical practitioners, and immediately brought them good food and wine. The most lacking thing in this small town is everywhere. The doctor who saved people, it was harder than seeing a ghost to meet such a person.

Nan Wang stared at Lan Mulin obsessively, only then noticed that his master had already opened the wine jar, and couldn't help asking: "Master, can I drink?"

Lan Mulin thought for a while and said, "I'll give you a drink."

Said, poured him a small glass of wine, Nan Wang picked up the glass and drank it, but choked, coughed until his heart was about to vomit, Lan Mulin gently stroked his back with one hand, said :"Slower."

After Nan Wang finished coughing, he looked at his master, seeing his master holding the wine glass and looking at it, he did the same thing as him.Nan Wang went to eat food, and asked, "Master, are medical practitioners not allowed to drink alcohol?"

Lan Mulin nodded and said, "Today is a special day."

Nan Wang smiled and said, "What special day?"

Lan Mulin lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at him, but Nan Wang saw the sadness in his eyes at that moment, which seemed to be overflowing, and suddenly, Nan Wang felt an inexplicable distress in his heart.It seems that his master has never shown such a side in front of him. His master has always smiled like a spring breeze, and he is gentle in dealing with people and things.

Nan Wang asked cautiously, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Mulin suddenly put away his emotions and said with a smile, "It's nothing."

Again.

For the first time, Nan Wang discovered that his master was also in disguise, and that his master was different from what he thought.He thought that Master was the most carefree person in the world. It turns out that no one in the world is really carefree. They just put away his sadness so that others would not see it.

Nanwang paused for picking up vegetables, and saw his master pour another cup and drain it.

Nan Wang opened his mouth not knowing what to say, he wanted to stop his master, but he swallowed the words.He stared straight at Lan Mulin pouring two altars, getting himself drunk.

Nan Wang looked at Lan Mulin who was still drinking, and quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Master, Master, you are drunk, stop drinking, okay?"

After hearing what he said, Lan Mulin smiled and said, "Okay."

Nan Wang felt that he would be embarrassed to ask Master what was bothering him at this time, so he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Master, do you want to eat?"

Lan Mulin laughed a little too much, almost giggling, and asked, "Why don't you ask me why I drink?"

Knowing that he was drunk and crazy, Nan Wang hurriedly said, "Master, you forgot, I have already asked you."

Lan Mulin put on a surprised look and said, "Really? What did I tell you?"

Nan Wang: "You said today is a special day."

Hearing this, Nan Wang could see the deep sadness in his eyes again, which was different from before, not suppressed, so thick that it couldn't be melted, so that those bright eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of frost.

Nan Wang was a little at a loss, he felt that he still needed to comfort his master, but he didn't know what happened, and he didn't know what to say, so he watched Lan Mulin shut up.

After a while, Lan Mulin finally spoke: "Three years ago."

Nan Wang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened three years ago?"

"Never see him again."

After all, Nan Wang could clearly see that the master who always treated others with a smile was crying.

He sat there quietly, weeping silently at first, and then crying loudly on the table.

Nan Wang was completely stunned. Hearing his master's mournful cry, he seemed to pour out all the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for many years. The night was very quiet, and his voice was even more exciting. sound, but Nan Wang could only understand one or two of them.

To make his master lose his composure after being drunk, he couldn't imagine who it was and what he did to him.

Lan Mulin cried for a long time, so long that Nan Wang's legs were already sitting unconscious, and only then did he realize that his master seemed to be lying on the table and fell asleep.

Nan Wang just got up and wanted to move him to the bed, but he was afraid of waking him up, so he stood there for a while, but he still didn't make a decision.At this time, Lan Mulin suddenly woke up, he raised his head in a daze, saw Nan Wang standing in front of him, grinned forcefully, and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Nan Wang nodded blankly, watching him get up unsteadily, and then floated onto the bed like a ghost, Nan Wang hurried over to cover him with the quilt.

Lan Mulin was lying down well, and suddenly said: "Do you know who your father is?"

Nan Wang was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

Lan Mulin turned around suddenly, but Nan Wang heard the name he said.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, and at some point, he turned around and extinguished the candle.

At night, Lan Mulin seemed to be having a nightmare and woke up several times. Nan Wang never fell asleep. Lying beside him, his heart was already flying. As soon as he woke up, Nan Wang immediately turned around and asked: " Master, what's wrong?"

Lan Mulin seemed to be raving, and kept chanting a name in his mouth.It was only when Nan Wang got closer that he heard clearly that what he was saying over and over again was "Shallow Thinking".

The next day, as soon as Nan Wang opened his eyes, he saw Lan Mulin sitting upright. Seeing that he was awake, he stepped forward and asked, "Nan Wang, did I say anything to you last night?"

Nan Wang's consciousness was still fuzzy, but after hearing his words, he immediately became sober, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Master, you told me who my father is."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Nan Wang saw his expected reaction, Lan Mulin lowered his head, and said after a while: "Nan Wang, pack up, I have something to tell you."

Nan Wang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up, he was struggling all the time, should he tell Master what he talked in his sleep last night, and he cried a lot yesterday, I'm afraid he won't remember it.

When he was sitting in front of Lan Mulin, he had already made a draft in his heart. If he asked, he would say, if he didn't ask, then he would pretend that he didn't see or hear it. After a while, he would forget about it. up.

Lan Mulin looked at him and said slowly: "What are you going to do?"

"what?"

Nan Wang obviously didn't expect him to ask this, and was momentarily stunned.

Lan Mulin said: "You know who your father is, what are you going to do?"

Seeing him bowing his head and not speaking, Lan Mulin said: "I don't know how much you remember about your life experience."

Nan Wang asked: "Is it because my mother was abandoned by my father, and my mother jumped into the river and died?"

Lan Mulin paused, and said: "Probably so, then, do you hate your father?"

Nan Wang seemed a little dazed, and said: "My mother died, I was scolded by others as a bastard, bullied by others, and almost died. Is it all my father's fault?"

Lan Mulin nodded seriously.

Nan Wang suddenly smiled and said, "Master, if you were me, would you hate my father?"

Just as Lan Mulin was about to speak, some memories suddenly flashed in his mind, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say. He watched the world and finally understood that if he was persuaded, he might end up like that person end.

He said, "If I were you, I would hate him." Before he could speak, he added, "But, I won't take revenge."

When he said revenge, Nan Wang was taken aback for a moment, as if he had been read through his mind, he pursed his lips.

Lan Mulin said: "Not to mention whether you have that ability, if you kill him, can you still gain a foothold in the world? The crime of patricide cannot be cleared."

Nan Wanghu was so excited that he shouted, "I don't care!"

"But I care!"

Lan Mulin was rarely serious, and said: "You are my disciple, how could I watch you become like that?"

Nan Wang lowered his head abruptly, and murmured: "But he caused me..."

"It caused you to be bullied and insulted?" Lan Mulin softened his tone and said, "But didn't you meet me?"

Nan Wang stared blankly at his master, speechless for a moment.

Lan Mulin said: "If I hadn't met you, what would have happened to you? Maybe you are no longer in this world, right? You met me, how are you doing now? Will anyone still bully you?"

Nan Wang shook his head blankly, and heard him say again: "Once a teacher and a lifelong father, am I not your father?"

Nan Wang didn't know why tears suddenly filled his eyes, and he stuttered: "Master, I, I..."

Lan Mulin smiled at him, and said: "People live in this world, they just have to remember those happy things and forget those troubles, so that they can live comfortably, don't they?"

Nan Wang suddenly remembered the way his master cried last night, but for some reason, he felt joy amidst sadness.

They stayed in that town for a while and left the town. Lan Mulin said that they heard that there seemed to be a town in Yuzhou who died of poisoning for no reason, and they were going to Yuzhou.
