As if bewitched, Wu Xuancai stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the box, but failed to lift it several times, only to find that a copper lock was hung on it. She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up, rummaging around the room looking for keys, drawers, vases, and even floor tiles.
When she was rummaging through the bookshelf, Xue Jiming came back and frowned, "What are you doing?"
She immediately pulled out a medical book from the shelf, looking like she was overjoyed: "Jiming, look, the "Wansheng Medical Canon" that I have been looking for for a long time is actually here! Miss Lin's book collection is really rich, I took a few glances outside the window , walked in as soon as my heart was hot. You also know that Dr. Zheng and I are now studying the pulse of my eldest brother day and night, and we have a vague idea. I just read this book. ."
"What's the solution?" Xue Jiming's eyes lit up.
"Using the method of heat penetration of medicinal herbs and acupuncture, it should be able to cure my eldest brother's legs. Jiming, look, Miss Lin here is full of medical books on heat penetration and acupuncture, which is more than that of Dr. Zheng and I combined. Even more, if we are fortunate enough to study a few books, maybe there will be a breakthrough." Wu Helianthus said with oath.
"Really? Then just watch it!" Xue Jiming waved his hand generously.
Wu Helianthus pointed to the box and said, "Is this also a medical book?"
"Yes, the medical book here is Doctor Lin's treasure. I saw him take it out for drying when I was a child." Xue Jiming took out his dagger and pried open the copper lock.
Wu Hemerocallis immediately surrounded it, pretending to be curious and picking up medical books, but his fingertips fumbled around the bottom and top of the box. She had clearly never seen this box, but she knew where the hidden compartment was set, as if someone was guiding her to find what belonged to her. Soon, she found a mezzanine at the bottom of the box, but pretended not to know, and guided Xue Jiming to find it with words, and borrowed his hand to take out the medical book passed down by the Lin family.
Looking at this set of medical books cut out of blue silk cloth, Wu Xuancao swallowed and felt his heart beating rapidly. Yes, this is it! The things that should have belonged to her long ago are now back in her hands! She couldn't wait to open the title page and was about to take a closer look, but she didn't expect Lin Dan to come back early and hit her on the wrist with a stone, causing the book to fall.
"Who allowed you to touch my things?" She strode in, wrapped the whole set of medical books in cloth, and held them tightly in her hands.
"Miss Lin, you're back. Can you borrow me to look through this set of medical books? Just look it up on the spot and don't take it away, okay? I promise to give it back to you just by looking at it, a quarter of an hour is enough, really. "Wu Hemerocallis tried to lower her body as much as possible.
"No." Lin Dan looked around the messed up study with a condensed expression.
When Xue Jiming saw Wu Xuancao's wrist was swollen and swollen by the stone, he was immediately angry, reached out his hand to grab the book, and scolded: "Lin Dan, these books are useless for you to hold, why don't you show Xiaocao'er a look? Remember? When we were young, we didn't have the strength to chop wood, so you were going to burn these books and roast sparrows for me. If my father scolded you, how could they be stored here? You don't care about them at all, why are they now? So precious? Are you deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Cao'er?"
Hearing that the original owner planned to burn these books as firewood, Lin Dan's expression distorted for a moment. Wu Helianthus was also a little speechless, and his intention to seize the medical book was even firmer.
The two fought in the study, but Xue Jixian was obviously not Lin Dan's opponent. She took off her arm three or two times, screaming in pain. Lin Dan didn't even look at him, just stared at Wu Xuancao coldly and said, "Go away!"
Wu Xuancao helped Xue Jiming out, and before leaving, he looked back with a strange look.
Lin Dan cleaned up the messy study, and was about to find a new place for a collector to pass on the treasure, but saw a maid walk in, saying that the old lady was looking for it. She put the book in the back basket, strode away, passed through the hanging flower door, and saw the open main hall from a distance, only to find that Mrs. Xue, the old lady of the second room, and several sisters-in-law were all there, as if she wanted to interrogate her.
Xue Jiming lowered one hand and said with conviction: "Grandmother, mother, Xiaocao'er is extremely smart, and has excellent medical skills. She already has a clue to treat her elder brother, and Lin Dan's medical book is exactly what she needs most. The dead girl Dan said every day that she wanted to study medicine, and she went out to practice medicine every day, but she didn't see any success, and she never heard of anyone she cured. It shows that her aptitude is dull and unbearable, and those medical books are in her hands. It’s also a waste, why don’t you lend it to Xiao Cao’er to take a look? If she can be inspired to find a way to treat the elder brother, wouldn’t it be a great thing?”
Zheng Zhe, who did not know when he was invited, also stroked his beard and said, "I heard from Doctor Wu that Miss Lin has a very rich collection of books. If I can let this old man read a few times, it will definitely be enlightening."
"But those books are the relics that Doctor Lin left to Girl Lin." The old lady wondered.
"Grandma," Xue Jiming said resentfully, "do you really think that girl Lin Dan values them very much? If she didn't use the excuse of studying medicine, she stayed in our house shamelessly, and those medical books would have been piled up in the miscellaneous room. It's moldy! Have you ever seen her take good care of them? Have you ever seen her study them every day? When she was a child, she tore books and folded little stars!"
Zheng Zhe and Wu Xuancao frowned upon hearing this, with a painful expression, and the old lady finally showed a loose look.
Mrs. Xue thought about it and said, "How about I loan these medical books to the two doctors? It's just that you can't move them all out. You can only borrow five copies at a time, and send them back after you've read them."
The old lady nodded and said: "Let's do it like this. Which books you two want to borrow, and give me a list. With my old face, Lin girl will not refuse."
They took it for granted that Lin Dan was still the same Lin Dan from before, and did not value these medical books, so they could easily persuade her. People are all selfish. If this matter doesn't involve Xue Boyong's legs, they will just sit on the sidelines, but Zheng Zhe and Wu Hemerocallis keep saying that these medical books are useful to Xue Boyong, so no matter what, they will find a way to get them for them. . Anyway, Lin Dan doesn't have the talent to study medicine, and the book is waiting to get moldy when she is there, why not give it to others
Several people had their own thinking and abacus, but no one had considered Lin Dan's feelings and wishes. Hearing this, Lin Dan's full-hearted words disappeared, he walked in silently, kowtowed three times to the old lady, and said, "Thank you old lady for not disregarding the past and leaving me in the mansion. Now my mission has been completed. , I'll leave now." Then he left the Xue Mansion with big strides, carrying only a bamboo basket and a small hoe, and not even a change of clothes.
The old lady and Mrs. Xue were stunned for a long time before they recovered, and they quickly ordered people to chase them. However, Lin Dan practiced medicine in the mountains every day, walking very fast, and had long since disappeared into the street, leaving only an empty Xiaofeng Pavilion and a courtyard full of undried herbs.
Xue Jiming's arm has been connected by Zheng Zhe, and he is turning and sneering: "What are you chasing? She didn't bring a penny, and will come back by herself sooner or later. Do you really think she is willing to give up the glory and wealth of Xue's house?"
"Okay, stop saying a few words!" Madam Xue was very upset and didn't know how to explain her eldest son to him when he came back. She had to admit that the current Lin Dan was the eldest son's treasure, and he would not be willing to lose Lin Dan if he lost anything. If he knew that the people in the manor had joined forces to force Lin Dan away, he would have been furious.
The old lady clutched her chest and murmured, "Girl Lin can leave without leaving any leeway? I thought she had changed her mind, but I didn't expect her temper to be more stubborn than before."
A maid added fuel to the fire: "Old lady, Miss Lin has a good life, you used to spoil her, entered the Xiaofeng Pavilion, and the eldest son spoiled her, this temper is naturally more and more stubborn, saying no. Good words can't be heard."
"It's just borrowing a few books, why is this so." The old lady sighed again and again, with a sad face on her face.
However, Wu Helianthus did not care about the changes just now, and insisted: "Old lady, madam, can we still borrow Miss Lin's book?"
"Borrow, you can borrow it, you can find it yourself. It's better to make a list of which books you have borrowed. When the girl comes back in the future, I will give it to her to check, so that she will not lose her temper again. Don't worry, She won't be away for long, she has no money, no place to live, no food to eat, she will be back in two hours at most."
If it is replaced by the original owner, the old lady's analysis is absolutely 100% predictable. But right now, the one who left is Lin Dan, and if she wants to come back, I'm afraid it will be impossible in this life. The original owner's debt has been paid off by her. She and Xue Mansion owe nothing to each other. If they can get rid of this bondage, why not do it? Going outside, there is a wider sky waiting for her, and she will naturally spread her wings and fly higher and higher.
After leaving Xue Mansion, she took out a few taels of silver from her purse, and planned to find a cheap inn to live in, and then make money while practicing medicine. After she had accumulated enough silver taels, she would open a medical shop and become a doctor. As soon as she walked out of the southern city, a fast horse came in front of her, and immediately sat a young man with red lips and white teeth, who looked like a good girl, kept waving the whip and shouted for peace, regardless of whether it would bump into pedestrians or not.
Seeing that the horse's hoof was about to kill a woman, Lin Dan hurriedly ran over and pushed the woman, but was startled by the horse and made the boy fall from the air. Lin Dan caught the other party subconsciously, and accidentally put his hands on the boy's full chest, his expression was stunned. Although the young man has a beautiful appearance and a feminine temperament, he has an obvious Adam's apple around his neck. He is clearly a man! Out of the doctor's intuition, she immediately put two fingers on the boy's wrist to check his pulse.
The teenager struggled to get up, covered his chest tightly, and said bitterly, "I'm going to kill you! Come on, tie her up to me and take her back to the house!"
The few guards who came after that immediately pulled out their sabres from their waists and put them on Lin Dan's neck. Lin Dan wanted to resist, but his eyes turned and he didn't move again, so he obediently followed the group and left.
