Lin Yifeng walked into the courtyard and realized that Taishi Ci had followed him out. He was staring at the door with his mouth wide open, so wide that an egg could fit inside.
Lin Yifeng couldn't help but laugh at his silly look and patted him gently. Taishi Ci's body trembled, and he hurriedly invited him in with a respectful gesture. His face was filled with shock and worship.
After the two of them entered the house, they sat down again. Old Madam Taishi invited Lin Yifeng to sit down before thanking him for saving her life." May I know your name, benefactor?"
Lin Yifeng chuckled,"I'm Lin Yifeng from Donglai. I'm just an idle person who's currently traveling around."
Taishi Ci stood next to his mother, his mind replaying Lin Yifeng's shocking palm strike. He felt that the power of that martial art was simply shocking, and it didn't seem like a mortal technique. She was still in a daze when she heard Lin Yifeng's name. She couldn't help but exclaim,"Could it be the immortals of the Eastern Greenery?"
Lin Yifeng saw the excitement on his face and thought of the symptoms that Old Madam Taishi had just shown. He understood and laughed,"What immortals? There are no immortals in this world. It was just an ignorant nickname from the villagers.”
He then turned to the old madam and said," I know a little about medicine. I saw that the old madam's face was pale, but her breathing was slightly red. Her heartbeat was short of breath, and she seemed to have a disease of qi. If you don't mind, I will naturally treat the old madam."”
Before the old madam could answer, Taishi Ci had already rushed out and knelt on the ground."Taishi Ci had long heard of your reputation and wanted to bring his mother to the hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, his family did not have the money to do so! I'm lucky to have met you today. I hope you can take pity on Taishi Ci's filial piety and help me save my mother. Taishi Ci is willing to serve you as a slave. If you need any property, Taishi Ci will go to heaven and earth to find it for you.”After saying that, he kowtowed and did not stop.
When Taishi Ci's mother heard this, she rebuked angrily,"Unfilial son, stop your nonsense! When had he ever heard of Mr. Lin asking for money to treat a patient? Just now, when Master saved us, what did he ask for from us? Aren't your words insulting Sir?" Then, she apologized to Lin Yifeng.
Lin Yifeng chuckled,"Ziyi is very filial, so he lost his composure. Old Madam, don't blame him so heavily." Then, he helped Taishi Ci up and said,"Ziyi, you don't have to do this. I'm already happy that the medical skills I've learned can help the patient get rid of their suffering. Why would he want any repayment? "If you're a slave, don't mention it again. Otherwise, I can only leave."
Taishi Ci heard Lin Yifeng's words and felt ashamed. He stood up and didn't dare to say anything, afraid of angering his mother. Lin Yifeng had to treat Taishi Ci's mother. Who knew that his loving mother would not agree and said,"Teacher has already worked too hard for my mother and son today. Please rest before talking. I have been sick for many years, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. Let my son get some food for Mister first. I hope Mister doesn't mind!”。
Lin Yifeng saw his mother's insistence and thought about how the old woman had been frightened today. She looked tired and was obviously holding on out of courtesy. It was better to let her rest early and recover her energy. It wouldn't be too late to look at it tomorrow. After thinking about it, he said,"Alright! Old Furen's condition today is not good to see a doctor, so please go back early and rest. Wait until tomorrow when you feel better before coming back to see her." The loving mother couldn't argue with him, so she said a few more words and went back to her room to rest. She even instructed Taishi Ci to take good care of her.
Taishi Ci wanted to go to the city to buy some food, but it would be rude to let Lin Yifeng sit alone at home. Just as she was in a dilemma, Lin Yifeng had already called Wu Zhong and his brother to buy some wine and braised food from the city.
Taishi Ci was shocked and quickly stopped him."Teacher has worked so hard for me and my son. I should be the one buying wine and food for Teacher. How can Teacher spend money?"
Lin Yifeng said,"There's no need to fuss over these small matters." Besides, I still have something to ask you! If you go, who am I going to talk to?" Taishi Ci had no choice but to sit down.
Lin Yifeng asked Taishi Ci about what had happened, and Taishi Ci came over and explained.
It turned out that the Taishi family was originally from Donglai County's Huang County. Although the family had some poor farmland, since the end of the Han Dynasty, exorbitant taxes had been imposed on them. Moreover, the administration of officials had been corrupt. Some petty officials had resorted to all sorts of tricks to ask for money. The family could not collect what they had earned at all and lived a very difficult life. When Zihou Taishi Ci's father saw that this was not a way out, he borrowed money from others and learned to do some business. Only then did things slowly improve.
When Taishi Ci was five years old, his father's business had to move south, so the whole family moved to Shouchun. There was only one ancestral house left in Huang County, which was entrusted to the neighbors to look after. In the second year of Shouchun, the benevolent father saw that the rice business in Jiangnan was doing well, so he borrowed money to buy a large number of goods north. However, he also made a lot of profits. However, on the way back, they encountered a huge disaster.
It turned out that when he passed by Huai 'an, he had found a silk book with some spear and saber techniques on it. The benevolent father wanted to go back and find someone to teach Taishi Ci. This way, not only would he have an additional skill, but he might also be able to gain some fame. It was not impossible. Therefore, he bought it with money.
However, how could the benevolent father know that the person who sold the books was actually a spy of a group of bandits? The silk book was also picked up from the battlefield. Every day, he would sell some items to people here and secretly observe if there were any fat sheep.
When the loving father opened his wallet to buy the books, the spy saw that the loving father's wallet was extremely rich and was secretly happy. That day, he delivered the news. The poor loving father was still ignorant. He only wanted to return home as soon as possible and reunite with his wife and children! Just as they walked to a desolate place, they were surrounded by a group of bandits. Without saying a word, they cut down all of them and snatched all their money and goods.
The loving father had been slashed more than ten times and had pretended to be dead. After the bandits left, he crawled to the roadside to ask for help. He happened to encounter a caravan heading to Yangzhou and was rescued. However, because of his heavy injuries, he could barely make it home and died.
The loving father pointed at his chest before he died, and the loving mother fainted several times. After she was saved, she endured her grief and pulled open her husband's clothes. When she saw the silk book that caused the disaster, she could not help but sigh and grieve. She sighed with emotion because her husband never forgot to hope that his son would become a successful person. The sad thing was that this thought would eventually cost him his life.
Her late husband owed a huge debt when he was alive. Although the debt collectors would demand it in the future, they still had to pay it back. Now that his son was young, there was no one to negotiate with. He could only make the decision to sell everything in the house and barely pay off the debt. By the time she finished her husband's funeral, she had no roof to cover her body and no place to stand. Moreover, she still had children to raise. She could only return to her hometown in Huang County temporarily.
The mother and son packed up briefly and headed towards Wangqing Province in a desolate and anxious manner. And the pain of a loving mother losing her husband in her middle age was so deep that she traveled from Shouchun to Huang County across three states. The journey was long, and in order to take care of Taishi Ci, he had to endure hunger and wind and rain along the way, eventually falling ill. However, he felt chest tightness and short of breath. Sometimes, he even coughed up blood, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Fortunately, although Taishi Ci was young, he was especially sensible and obedient. At the age of six, he knew how to share his mother's worries. He supported his mother and took care of her along the way. Although the mother and son had gone through hardships, they had finally returned to their hometown.
The ancestral house and land had been sold when they left their hometown. Now, they only guarded one house. How could they survive? Helplessly, the loving mother had no choice but to sell the old house and exchange it for some money. She took the young Taishi Ci away from their hometown and walked to Beihai County. They found an ownerless land twenty miles away from the city. They mowed the grass to build a house and erected wood as a wall. This was the house today.
During this period, his loving mother made a living by doing embroidery or helping others. Before his loving mother married, her poems and books were passed down from her family and were quite a collection. Therefore, he had learned some poetry and books since he was a child, and thus he taught Taishi Ci every day.
When Taishi Ci was ten years old, he called Taishi Ci to his side and told him about the silk book left behind by his father before his death. He handed it to Taishi Ci to tell him the cause and effect in detail. Taishi Ci was indignant and indignant, so he diligently practiced martial arts and swore to avenge his father. At the age of fourteen, he finally succeeded. Due to his natural intelligence and high comprehension, he even learned the martial arts recorded in the silk book. Because he often went into the mountains to hunt to supplement his family's income, he practiced the unique skill of piercing a poplar with a hundred steps. From then on, he went to Jiangnan three times in two years and killed all the strong bandits where his father was killed before returning. Therefore, Yang Yong's reputation in Qing, Xu, Yang three places have been spread.
And there was a big family named Zhou in the North Sea who liked to hoard land the most. He would always think of ways to buy whatever he wanted. The people below him had even used all their methods to curry favor with him. Some time ago, for some reason, he had taken a fancy to the location of Taishi Ci's family and had secretly bribed a small official with gold beads to obtain the title deed. He had come to ask for it every day with the letter, wanting to drive Taishi Ci's family away and settle them elsewhere.
At this time, Taishi Ci had not returned from his trip. His loving mother could not help but force him to wait for her son to return before dealing with him. When Taishi Ci returned and found out about the matter, he would not be willing to do it. Before he could finish his sentence, he started to fight. How could those servants be a match for Taishi Ci? If Lin Yifeng hadn't happened to pass by today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Lin Yifeng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. It was time to light the lamps, and Wu Zhong and Wu Yong brought back the food and drinks. Taishi Ci brought some food into the inner hall for his mother to eat before turning back to drink and chat with Lin Yifeng. I'll spend the night in the hall outside the thatched cottage. The night was silent.
