White Horse Divine Doctor
On the stove, Old Lady Li was cooking a pot of porridge. There were only the old couple at home, so dinner was a little casual. Just a bowl of porridge and some pickled vegetables was enough for the two of them.
Bang bang bang.
The wooden door of the courtyard was knocked loudly.
Old Man Li said,"Who's knocking at the door so late at night? They're here!"”
He opened the courtyard door and saw a young couple holding hands.
The man was handsome and had a smile on his face that made people unable to help but feel close to him. The woman who was held by his hand blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Old Man Li.
"It's so late. What's the matter?" Old Man Li asked.”
"Uncle, we're going to a distant relative, but we didn't see any towns along the way," the man said. Seeing that the sky was already dark, he wanted to stay here for the night. He did not know if the old uncle would allow it.”
Old Man Li looked at the two of them carefully. They didn't look like bad people, so he opened the courtyard door and let the young couple in.
This couple was obviously pretending. They were none other than Yu Mu and Zhou Luan, who were on their way to Hangzhou.
After Old Man Li opened the door, he thought that there were only him and his wife. He did not expect that there were five children of all ages following behind. However, he didn't reject Yu Mu and his group because of this reason. Instead, he teased them with a smile,""I didn't expect you two to have so many children at such a young age.”
Old Man Li's words made Zhou Luan, whose face was already red, so embarrassed that water could almost drip out.
"We got married early," Yu Mu said shamelessly.”
Old Man Li laughed." What do you mean by not laughing? Young people should have more children while they are strong."”
Yu Mu deliberately pulled Zhou Luan's hand and said,"Did you hear what the old man said? When we get there, we'll have two more children.”
Hearing this, Zhou Luan glared at Yu Mu angrily. However, in Old Man Li's eyes, this glare made them look more like a couple flirting.
After leading Yu Mu and the others into the house, Old Lady Li, who had just finished cooking porridge, was dumbfounded. She didn't understand how the old man could open the gate and bring in seven or eight people at once.
Old Man Li said,"This young couple is just passing by. Seeing that it's getting late, they want to stay at our house for the night."”
Old Lady Li did not express any dissatisfaction. She only looked at the five children behind Zhou Luan and said,"You really can give birth."
Yu Mu wanted to laugh out loud when he heard the words " really fertile ", but the flesh on his arm had been twisted twice by Zhou Luan, so he couldn't laugh out loud.
The house, which originally only had an old couple, was now bustling with activity, as if it was a family of three generations.
A small dining table was naturally not enough for nine people to sit down. Old Man Li and Yu Mu sat on the kang.
"Little brother, I still don't know your name."”
"My name is Yu Mu, and my name is Zhou Luan."”
Old Man Li said," Looking at your age, I'm more than enough to be your father. Then I'll call you Little Yu. You can call me Uncle Li."”
"Of course," Yu Mu said,"I have to thank Uncle Li for taking us in."”
Old Man Li said," I just thought of my son when I saw you. Otherwise, how would I dare to take in passersby at night in this world?"”
"Yes, the world is indeed a bit chaotic now. It's also because of this reason that we want to go to our distant relatives in Hangzhou."”
At this moment, Old Lady Li came in again and said,"Old man, this pot of porridge isn't enough."”
Uncle Li said with a straight face,"If you don't have enough, then boil another pot. You have to ask me about everything." I'll share this pot with the children first. Later, I'll stir-fry two side dishes to go with the wine. I want to drink with Xiao Yu.”
Old Madam Li wanted to nag at Uncle Li's attitude, but she still followed his instructions.
"This old woman, the older she gets, the more stubborn she becomes."”
"Uncle, you should be content. You can't even find a wife who knows how to lead a good life now." Yu Mu said.”
Uncle Li said," Even if this pot of porridge is enough, we don't have that many bowls at home. There are only two of us at home. We can only let the children eat first."”
Yu Mu seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly took out a few taels of silver and stuffed them into Uncle Li's hands.
Uncle Li refused firmly.
"Uncle, your family isn't rich, but you still want to take us in for a night and a meal. I really feel bad if you don't accept this silver."”
Uncle Li said,"Even if you say that the house is empty, it's still empty. What's wrong with letting you stay for a night?" How much was this meal worth? I'm afraid that you won't be able to charge so much money even if you go to the city to eat and stay for a few nights. I can't take this money. I definitely can't take it.”
One insisted on giving it, and the other insisted on not giving it.
In the end, the older the ginger, the spicier. Uncle Li said that if you really want to give it to me, I'll have to ask you to leave.
Not long after, Old Madam Li had already scooped a bowl of porridge for the children. There was also a plate of deep-fried peanuts and a plate of stir-fried pickles on the small table on the fire brick bed.
Old Man Li took out half a pot of wine and two small wine glasses from somewhere. He smiled at Yu Mu and said,"The old woman still doesn't know that I hid the wine. Speaking of which, I haven't had my fill in a long time.”
Yu Mu poured a cup for Old Man Li, and Old Man Li downed it in one gulp. "Ah!" He called out to Yu Mu, signaling him to have a drink.
Yu Mu did not suspect anything. He also imitated Old Man Li and drank a cup. He did not expect that he would be so spicy that tears would come out.
He didn't expect the old man's wine to be so spicy.
Seeing Yu Mu's embarrassment, Old Man Li smiled and said,""This wine is indeed more spicy than ordinary wine. A young man like you can't adapt to it for a while.”
Yu Mu waved his hand, signaling Old Man Li to let him take a break. Uncle Li picked up a few peanuts and put them into his mouth. He looked at Yu Mu, who was sitting opposite him and inhaling continuously, with a smile.
At the dining table, the little girl named Little Zi looked at Zhou Luan and said,"Sis…"
"If you can't finish it, give some to your brother." Zhou Luan hurriedly interrupted.”
Little Zi also remembered what Zhou Luan had told her previously. She nodded and said,"I know, Mother."
Zhou Luan glanced outside the room. Old Lady Li was still cooking another pot of porridge. Old Man Li, who was drinking happily with Yu Mu on the brick bed, naturally did not notice what was happening at the dining table.
"Uncle Li, you said you have a son. Where is he?" Yu Mu asked.”
Old Man Li sighed and said,"Dead. He's been dead for seven or eight years."”
"What happened?" Yu Mu asked.
Old Man Li took another sip of wine and slowly said,"I used to have a son and a daughter-in-law. If they were still alive, even if they didn't have as many children as you, they would have at least two or three children.”
"Did something happen?" Yu Mu asked.”
Old Man Li said," That year, my son picked a Ganoderma from the mountain. He planned to buy it in Yangliu Town, which is more than 20 miles away from home. He also took his wife to buy some new clothes. In the end, he didn't come back for a day. I even consoled the old woman, saying that perhaps my son had sold for a good price and was so happy that he had rested in the town for a night. After waiting for another day, there was still no news. Just as I was about to go to the town to find him, a few disciples who claimed to be from the Green Stone Sect came. They brought back the bodies of my son and daughter-in-law. They told me that my son was robbed by bandits on the way. They killed the bandits, but they still couldn't save my son. That day, many of the villagers who went to the market were killed by the bandits, and their corpses were sent back by the Green Stone Sect.”
Yu Mu's expression turned serious. He didn't say anything, but only comforted the old man with his condolences.
Old Man Li said,"What's there to be sad about? It's been so many years." People had to learn to accept some things, right?”
Old Man Li seemed very open-minded. How could he share the pain of losing his son with others?
Old Madam Li, who was cooking porridge outside, heard her wife mention her son who had died early. She felt sad and could not help but cry again.
"Cry, cry, cry. What's there to cry about?" Old Man Li said in frustration. He had cried for so many years, but he still hadn't cried enough.”
Then, he said to Yu Mu," This woman, it's fine if she's younger. When she's old, she likes to cry and has a lot of troubles. She usually lives in a tight corner. Your wife can't become like this in the future."”
"Ah Luan, did you hear what Uncle Li said?" Yu Mu shouted at Zhou Luan.”
Zhou Luan wanted to flare up but could not. She could only bite the bullet and reply,"I heard you."
Old Man Li said,"I think your wife is good. She listens to you."”
"She just saw that you were here, so she didn't want to lose her temper. I usually let her have her way at home." Yu Mu said.”
"That's right. Sometimes, men should give in to women." Old Man Li laughed.”
"You're right, uncle," Yu Mu said.
Old Man Li shouted outside again,"Old woman! Later, he would clean up the house on the east side.”
"How can I trouble auntie to clean up the house?" Yu Mu said.”
Old Man Li grabbed Yu Mu and said," She should be doing these chores. You are the guests. How can you let the guests do the work?"”
Yu Mu still felt a little guilty." Auntie just finished cooking and didn't have time to rest. Now she's going to clean up the house. How can I sit still?"”
Old Man Li whispered to Yu Mu,"To tell you the truth, I usually do most of the chores at home. It's not easy for us to have a guest at home, so you let me order her around more to satisfy my craving.”
Yu Mu smiled. He saw Uncle Li ordering his wife around. It turned out that he had been bullied too much and needed a chance to vent.
Even though Old Man Li had explained the reason to Yu Mu, Yu Mu still asked Zhou Luan to clean up the room with Old Man Li.
"Your family of seven may not be able to squeeze into the kang in that room," said Old Man Li.”
Yu Mu said,"It's not a big deal. Uncle, you have a woodshed at home, right? I'll just stay in the woodshed for a night."”
Old Man Li said apologetically,"I'm really sorry that I made you suffer in the woodshed for a night."”
"What are you talking about?" Yu Mu said."We should feel bad for eating and living here for free." Besides, the woodshed was much better than being blown by the cold wind outside for a night.”
Old Man Li said,"I'll bring you a blanket later so that you can sleep better at night."”
"Thank you very much, uncle." Yu Mu said.”
Old Man Li smiled." You're too polite. Men should be more forthright." Come, cheers."
Yu Mu raised his cup and said,"Uncle, please."”
The sun set on the western hills, and the moon rose above the clouds.
Yu Mu came to Old Man Li's woodshed with a quilt in his arms. There was a pile of chopped firewood and some dry firewood in the woodshed.
Yu Mu spread the firewood on the ground and lay down. However, he still felt uncomfortable when he twisted and turned. In the end, he decided to spread the blanket on the firewood and take off his clothes to cover himself.
Without the invasion of the firewood on his back, Yu Mu could finally lie down peacefully.
"Phew, it feels much better." He let out a long breath.
The moonlight shone on Yu Mu's face through the window of the woodshed, and he couldn't fall asleep.
The matter of the Seven Heroes Stronghold had been lingering in his mind. It wasn't regret or sadness. It was more like a decadence caused by helplessness.
He was there, watching everything happen.
He hated the old man for running away, but when it was his turn to do something, Zhou Tong told him that he was powerless.
Yu Mu knew that Zhou Tong was right.
Originally, he hated the false reputation that the famous righteous sects cared about, but he also needed to have a false reputation. It was just that compared to the famous righteous sects, he wanted to have a false reputation.
To become Luo Wei, to become the person who changed the martial world, fame was essential.
Yu Sheng's son couldn't do anything. He had to be Yu Mu.
"One, two, three, four."
Yu Mu counted the stars in the sky. He had already decided what he was going to do.
The door of the woodshed was gently pushed open, and the moonlight illuminated her figure.
Zhou Luan stood at the door of the wooden hut. She didn't come in, as if she was waiting for Yu Mu's invitation.
Yu Mu was stunned. He couldn't react.
Zhou Luan was completely naked.
Under the moonlight, Yu Mu could see every inch of Zhou Luan's skin. Her beautiful body was trembling slightly because of the cold wind at night.
Yu Mu didn't know if he should keep his eyes on Zhou Luan, but he couldn't move his eyes away from her. No man could move his eyes away at this time.
Zhou Luan's face did not turn red. Instead, she appeared very calm.
She turned around and closed the door, then threw herself into Yu Mu's arms like a ball of fire.
Yu Mu gently held the woman in his arms. Although he always liked to take advantage of women, he had never been in such contact with a woman before.
Beside him was dry wood, in his arms was fire, outside the house was a cold night, and inside the house were two burning bodies. It seemed like everything that happened now was logical, but Yu Mu still didn't move. He just covered Zhou Luan with his clothes.
"I'm so cold." Zhou Luan said softly.
When a naked and beautiful woman said something extremely flirtatious to you, what should you do?
Of course you can't disappoint her.
Yu Mu disappointed her because he knew why Zhou Luan would do that.
Yu Mu looked at Zhou Luan in his arms and said,"You didn't have to come."”
"Aren't I your wife?" Zhou Luan smiled charmingly.”
She raised her hand to remove Yu Mu's clothes.
Yu Mu held her hand.
"What's wrong? You don't think I'm pretty?" Zhou Luan asked.
Yu Mu shook his head and said,"No, you are the most beautiful woman in the world now."”
"Then why are you still standing there like a block of wood?" Zhou Luan asked.”
"I think I prefer Zhou Luan who tried to stab me with a sword." Yu Mu laughed. I told you in the Seven Heroes Stockade that I don't like to force others, so you shouldn't make things difficult for yourself.”
Zhou Luan moved her body and slowly put her head on Yu Mu's chest.
"Trust me, I will send you and the children safely to Hangzhou." Yu Mu said.”
Zhou Luan suddenly grabbed Yu Mu's shoulder. She was scared. She came because she could only rely on Yu Mu now. She was afraid that Yu Mu would go back on his word, and she was afraid that she would not have the chance to fulfill her promise to her brother, so she decided to give her most precious thing to Yu Mu.
Her body.
"Do you think I'm cheap?" Zhou Luan asked.
"Didn't I just say that I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world?" Yu Mu said.”
Yu Mu respected the people who had died to protect the Seven Heroes Stronghold and Zhou Luan who was willing to sacrifice herself for the children.
Speaking of which, it seemed that Yu Mu was the only one who was slightly injured. He was always mistaken.
Zhou Luan's tears fell onto Yu Mu's chest. He could feel the warmth of each tear drop, turning from hot to cold.
"You won't like me," Zhou Luan said. My brother didn't tell you, did he? We're both children of bandits. We're half-siblings, and our father is one of the seven leaders of the Seven Heroes Stockade.”
Yu Mu didn't say anything. He was listening quietly.
When a person is confiding in you, the best thing you can do is to listen quietly.
"I didn't remember the first time I left the Seven Heroes Stronghold. I heard from my brother that it was the day when the Seven Heroes Village was surrounded. When he was in his teens, he killed someone with a knife and took me to escape from the back mountain. After that, he brought me to wander the Jianghu for a few years. When all the rumors died down, we returned to the Seven Heroes Stronghold. Two years later, Chen Wanjiao came. He was also the child of a leader. Later on, Wang Jian and the others also came to the Seven Heroes Stockade. Wang Jian was an idle person who often did some shady business. As a result, he was chased out of the house by his parents. Gao Qiu was a deserter on the battlefield, and his eye had been shot blind by the Hu at the border. Kong Xi, Kong Xi was a chef in a magistrate's manor. He was found out to be having an affair with the magistrate's concubine. He was supposed to be beheaded, but he still escaped in the end. Are you very disappointed? The place we live in is called the Seven Heroes Stronghold. In fact, we are not good people at all.”
"Family background doesn't determine whether a person is good or bad. Besides, there's nothing wrong with wanting to live." Yu Mu said.”
Zhou Luan smiled. With tears in her eyes, she looked exceptionally charming. "Did anyone say that you're a man with a glib tongue?”
"You should be the first." Yu Mu smiled.”
"Hmm, who are those children?”Yu Mu thought for a moment and asked.
"They were all picked up by my brother," Zhou Luan said."They were all children who wandered on the streets." My brother said that it was very difficult for him to bring me around back then, but no matter how difficult it was, I could at least rely on him. Who could these children rely on? He said that every time he saw these children, he remembered the days when he was wandering with me. He couldn't bear to see these children suffer, so he adopted them.”
Hearing the same answer as Gao Qiu, Yu Mu felt more at ease.
"Alright, you've said what you should say and done what you should do. Go back.”Yu Mu said.
He had to let Zhou Luan leave before he lost control. With a smooth body lying in his arms, he could not stay awake all the time.
Zhou Luan was silent for a moment before softly saying,"If we go back now, we'll wake the children up.”
This wasn't a good reason. It was an unreasonable reason.
Zhou Luan buried her face in Yu Mu's arms. She didn't want Yu Mu to see her shy face.
Yu Mu was dumbfounded.
He didn't understand why Zhou Luan was full of hostility towards him at first, but then advised him to leave the Seven Heroes Stronghold. Now, he didn't understand why Zhou Luan didn't come of her own will. Why did she choose to stay after she got what she wanted?
Yu Mu really couldn't read a woman's mind.
Zhou Luan was one of them, and so was that mysterious girl.
Yu Mu pulled out half of the blanket from under his body so that Zhou Luan could lie on one side of the blanket and cover herself with the other.
"Aren't you going to cover yourself with a blanket?" Zhou Luan asked. We can build it together."
Her soft breasts were half-exposed as she said this invitation with a blush.
Yu Mu tucked her in and said,"Go to sleep."”
It didn't feel good to be pricked by firewood, but Yu Mu really needed it to keep him awake.
Zhou Luan's breathing slowly became steady and orderly.
"Are you asleep?" Yu Mu asked tentatively.
There was no response.
Yu Mu finally understood why people said that the night was always lonely. Even if a naked beauty was sleeping next to you, you could only lie in the firewood pile and survive the night alone.
At dawn, Yu Mu gently woke Zhou Luan up. She had to return to the east room before the children woke up.
In order to prevent any of the children from waking up, Yu Mu asked Zhou Luan to put on her own clothes. She would bring her clothes back after she went back to her room to change.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Luan could not move as soon as she opened the door of the woodshed.
"What's wrong?" Yu Mu stuck his head out.
Standing in the courtyard was Old Man Li, who was preparing to go out for a walk in the morning.
The three of them were in a deadlock, and the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.
"Uncle, you're up quite early." Yu Mu forced out a smile.
Old Man Li turned around and slowly returned to the house.
"Hey, young man." Yu Mu and Zhou Luan heard his words.
Yu Mu and his group, who were supposed to leave early in the morning, did not leave because one of the children was sick.
"Could it be that the brick bed yesterday wasn't warm enough and the child caught a cold?" Old Man Li asked worriedly.”
Yu Mu shook his head and said," The day before yesterday, when we were on our way, it rained heavily. The child gave his umbrella to his younger brother and sister, and got wet. That day, we couldn't find a place to stay, so we could only spend the night in a dilapidated temple. I think he must have been blown by the cold wind at night, so he caught a cold."”
Zhou Luan, who was beside him, looked at the unconscious child anxiously and anxiously. Yu Mu held her hand, trying to calm her down.
"If I had known earlier, I would have boiled a bowl of ginger soup for them yesterday to get rid of the cold," said Old Man Li.”
"It's my fault. I didn't notice that he wasn't feeling well," Zhou Luan said anxiously.”
Old Lady Li touched the child's forehead and said,"It's a little hot. His fever is very high.”
"Where's the nearest clinic?" Yu Mu asked.”
"The clinic in town is probably twenty miles away from here," Old Man Li said.”
"It'll take too much time to go back and forth. Can you carry the child?" Zhou Luan asked.”
Yu Mu shook his head and said," The child is already very sick. If there are any more bumps on the road, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any accidents. I'll go to the clinic and bring the doctor over now."”
"Didn't a quack doctor come to the village these two days?" Old Lady Li reminded.”
"What charlatan?" Yu Mu asked.”
" A few days ago, a quack doctor came to the village on a white horse," Old Man Li said." He treated many people in the village these days." The villagers now called him Divine Doctor White Horse.”
"Where is he living now?" Yu Mu asked.”
"He's living in an abandoned cottage at the easternmost end of the village," said Old Man Li.”
"I'll go now," Yu Mu said.
He then instructed Zhou Luan,"Ah Luan, take a cloth and apply it to the child's forehead with cold water. This way, he will feel better."”
"Come back quickly," Zhou Luan said.
"I know." Yu Mu nodded.
A moment later, Yu Mu arrived at the abandoned cottage that Old Man Li mentioned.
There was indeed a white horse tied to the front of the thatched cottage, and a burly man was feeding the white horse fodder.
"Are you Doctor White Horse?" Yu Mu asked.”
The burly man turned around and said,"You're looking for Doctor Su, right? He's in the room, and I'm his servant."”
Yu Mu nodded and thanked him, then entered the thatched cottage, which looked like it could barely shelter him from the wind and rain.
The pungent smell of medicinal herbs wafted over. Yu Mu focused his eyes and saw a pale-faced middle-aged man in the room pounding medicinal herbs with a pestle.
"Are you Divine Doctor Su?" Yu Mu asked.
Su Ruoxu was about to respond, but when he saw Yu Mu's face, he exclaimed,""Young Hero Yu?"
Yu Mu had never seen this Divine Doctor Su before, and he didn't have the Green Lotus Sword in his hand. How could this Divine Doctor Su blurt out his surname?
Su Ruoxu recovered his composure immediately after the shock. He muttered to himself,""The Young Hero Yu from back then should be the Great Hero Yu now.”
He apologized," I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else. Your esteemed self is too similar to an old friend of mine."”
"Is the Young Master Yu you're talking about Yu Sheng?" Yu Mu asked tentatively.”
"That's right. You know Yu Sheng too?" Su Ruoxu said. Who are you to him?"
Yu Mu didn't answer directly. He murmured,""I think the old man is a man of few words. I didn't expect him to have many friends in the martial arts world.”
Su Ruoxu smiled and said," I was wondering why the two of you looked so similar. So the one in front of me is the son of an old friend." It was really fate, really fate.”
Yu Mu was shocked, but he didn't forget the purpose of his visit. He said,"One of the children is sick. Please come over, Divine Doctor Su.”
Su Ruoxu was not in a hurry to catch up. He picked up the medicine box that he carried with him and said,""You can just bring me there."
The burly man who was feeding the horses in front of the house saw Su Ruoxu come out with the medicine box and immediately went up to him.
"Master, are you going to see a doctor?" I'll go with you."
Su Ruoxu said," This Young Master Yu is my friend. I'll go with him. You can wait in the thatched cottage."”
"Yes, Master." The burly man replied respectfully.”
When they returned to Old Man Li's house, the crowd around the bed immediately gave way when they saw Yu Mu and the doctor.
Su Ruoxu first checked the child's pulse, then placed his hands on the child's face and chest to feel the heat and coldness.
"It's just a little cold, it's nothing serious," he consoled everyone.”
Then, he took out a few silver needles and inserted them into the Fengchi acupoint, Dazhui acupoint, and Renzhong acupoint. Then, he slowly massaged the child's stomach with his hands. After a while, the unconscious child opened his eyes, but he was still a little weak and could not speak for a moment.
Seeing that the child had already woken up, Su Ruoxu's pale face also showed a trace of redness.
He didn't expect Su Ruoxu to only use half an incense's time to turn the child from danger to safety. Yu Mu couldn't help but praise,"Mr. Su is really a divine doctor!"
Su Ruoxu took out four pills from the medicine box and gave them to Zhou Luan.""Take this pill twice a day, one at a time. He should be able to move freely at night and recover by tomorrow.”
"Yu Mu, I…I don't have any money on me." Zhou Luan blushed.”
Su Ruoxu smiled and said," I don't take a single cent when I travel and practice medicine. Moreover, I'm considered an old friend of Young Master Yu. Don't mention anything about money."”
Zhou Luan and Yu Mu hurriedly thanked him.
"Looks like we'll have to stay at the old uncle's house for another day." Yu Mu said.”
Old Man Li said straightforwardly," Hey, don't stand on ceremony. I haven't finished my wine yet." You guys can stay here."
"You take care of the child, I'll send Doctor Su off." Yu Mu said to Zhou Luan.”
After leaving Old Man Li's house, Su Ruoxu had no intention of returning to the thatched cottage.
"Young Hero Yu, would you like to walk with me?" he invited.”
Yu Mu gladly agreed.
"I've never seen a doctor who doesn't need a prescription. Divine Doctor Su is indeed worthy of the name of Divine Doctor Bai Ma," Yu Mu said.”
Su Ruoxu laughed out loud and said," You're much better at talking than your father. Back then, he could only say the word 'thank you' at most."”
"I wonder how Divine Doctor Su met my father?" Yu Mu asked curiously.”
Su Ruoxu said," You and I know each other, so don't call me Divine Doctor Su anymore. I'm your elder, so you can just call me Mister Su." May I know Young Master Yu's name?"
"I'm Yu Mu," Yu Mu replied.
Su Ruoxu said," I met your father more than twenty years ago. At that time, I was about the same age as you are now." He remembered that it was a quiet night, and the moon was round. I was drinking alone in front of the house and admiring the moon. I was reciting Li Bai's poem when I was suddenly stopped by someone from behind. He said he would kill me if I dared to scream.”
"This is indeed the old man's style." Yu Mu raised his eyebrows.”
Su Ruoxu continued," I turned around and saw a man covered in blood staring at me coldly. He was holding a woman in his arms, your mother." Later on, I found out that your father had just experienced the bloody battle at Happycloud Heights that day. He said that his wife's life was in danger. He heard that there was a divine doctor in the White Horse Villa, so he came to ask the divine doctor to save her. When I heard this, I immediately sent someone to invite my father, who is also the real 'Divine Doctor Whitehorse.' Unfortunately, your father couldn't find the cause of the illness, let alone save her. Then, your father left with your mother in the starry night.”
Yu Mu was clearer than Su Ruoxu about what happened after that. Yu Sheng had the help of the gambling monster of Jade Tiger Casino and found the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Xu Yunji.
Yu Mu bowed and thanked him." It turns out that you are my benefactor. Please accept my bow."”
Su Ruoxu helped Yu Mu up and said," What benefactor? Back then, my father and I did not help either. Later on, my father also felt quite regretful when he talked about this matter.”
"It was already a great kindness for you and your father to lend a helping hand back then." Yu Mu said.”
"Is that woman just now your wife?" Su Ruoxu asked.”
Yu Mu had already treated Su Ruoxu as an outsider, so he told Su Ruoxu about the deaths of the people from the Seven Heroes Stockade and the promise he made to Zhou Tong.
Su Ruoxu sighed and said," In today's Jianghu, this kind of thing is not uncommon." I've seen many of them on my travels, but even though I'm angry, I can't do anything.”
"That's why I want to change the Jianghu."”
He then shook his head and said helplessly," It's a pity that the old man has a pearl before him. No matter what I do, I can't get rid of the title of Yu Sheng's son."”
Su Ruoxu consoled him," It's indeed common for a tiger father to have a dog son in the martial world. However, from the fact that you care about the common people and are determined to change the martial world, you're definitely not the kind of person who will only rely on your father's reputation to live." Back then, my father was famous as a divine doctor. He only raised birds and watched fish in the White Horse Villa every day. Countless sect leaders and elders would bring gold, silver, and jewelry to seek medical treatment. I naturally don't have my father's miraculous medical skills, I can't sit firmly on the White Horse Villa's signboard. Therefore, he could only travel around and help those ordinary people see a doctor.”
Yu Mu said seriously," Perhaps you can't surpass your master in medical skills. But in my opinion, compared to sitting in the house and waiting for treatment, practicing medicine without taking a single cent is the real chivalrous act. It's worthy of admiration." Perhaps the White Horse Villa is famous because of your father, but the people who have been treated will know who the real White Horse Divine Doctor is.”
Su Ruoxu sighed." If everyone in the martial world had the same desires and thoughts as you, then the martial world wouldn't be so dark, and no one would need to change it."”
"Unfortunately, there won't be a second Happycloud Heights."”
Su Ruoxu said," The times create heroes. Every generation of heroes will have their own chance. You will have the chance to change this world with your own name."”
Su Ruoxu's words made Yu Mu feel something. What was the current situation?
"Mister's medical skills can not only cure people, but also the heart." Junior admires."
Su Ruoxu said," Seeing how you can settle grudges and act chivalrously, I remember that I had a chivalrous dream when I was young." At that time, I wanted to give up medicine and practice martial arts, but unfortunately, my body was weak and short of breath since I was young, so I was destined not to practice martial arts.”
"Isn't your father's medical skills unparalleled?" Yu Mu asked suspiciously. Why didn't he save his son?”
Su Ruoxu said regretfully," This is caused by one's constitution. No matter how high one's medical skills are, there's nothing they can do."”
"If you can really practice martial arts, perhaps the swordsman who will change the Jianghu will be you." Yu Mu said.”
Su Ruoxu looked at the horizon and said emotionally,""Maybe, maybe."
After saying that, he covered his face with his sleeve and began to cough.
The morning wind was a little cold, and Su Ruoxu's pale face became even paler. His weak body could not withstand the invasion of the cold wind.
"Mr. Su, it's a bit cold in the morning. Let me send you back."”
Su Ruoxu said," It's alright. I'm happy today. Let's walk a little longer. Let's walk a little longer."
"Do you travel outside all year round?" Yu Mu asked.”
Su Ruoxu said," That's not true. I still have a wife at home. Every year, I will stay in the villa for three months before and after the new year." If you have the chance in the future, you must come to the White Horse Villa to find me.”
"Of course, but you have to prepare good wine in advance."”
Su Ruoxu untied a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Yu Mu.""I'm not in the villa for most of the time. You might need some help when you're traveling in the martial arts world. This jade pendant is my personal possession. If you have any difficulties, you can take this jade pendant to the White Horse Villa. They will try their best to help you.”
"I appreciate your kindness, sir," Yu Mu declined,"but I never like to bring these things with me."”
Su Ruoxu smiled and said,"Take it. I believe you will need him."”
Seeing Su Ruoxu so insistent, Yu Mu could only accept it and thank him.
Su Ruoxu said," I originally planned to leave this village at noon. I didn't expect to meet you before I left. We're really fated."”
"Maybe the heavens arranged for us to meet." Yu Mu laughed.”
