Chapter 35 My Disciple Lives in Liulin Village

The Meng family was not far from the clinic, and the carriage arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.

The old butler, who had already received the news, was already waiting at the door. When he saw the old man getting off the carriage, he quickly walked over and offered his hand to help him down. "Master Cui, you're finally here! Our eldest young master can move his fingers. He can really move them. He even moved them just now!"

"Let's go and take a look." The old man waved his hand and strode into the house.

"Hey, hey, let me lead the way for Dean Cui." The old housekeeper trotted behind him.

"Oh! No one cares about me again." Meng Yichen stuck his head out of the carriage, looked at the empty yard, shook his head and laughed.

"How could that be! I'm here right now!" A tall and strong young man dressed in black rushed out from the other side of the carriage, held his arm and helped him get off the carriage.

"What big or small? Brother Ling Qing, you are teasing me again." Meng Yichen gathered his cloak, put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

"Why are you coughing again? Was it because you were exposed to the wind when you went out?" Ling Qing frowned and looked at him.

"I'm fine," Meng Yichen pursed his lips, resisting the itch rising in his throat, and changed the subject: "Just now, I heard Uncle Quan say what happened to my brother?"

"The general's fingers moved again just now. He seemed to hear us a little when we talked to him. I even saw his eyelids moving, but they all said I was dazzled." Ling Qing said.

"Old Cui got another hundred-year-old ginseng today. After adding it to my brother's medicine, maybe he will wake up soon."

"Yes, the general will wake up sooner or later, but look at you, you are so weak and fragile. The general will be very worried when he wakes up and sees you like this!"

"Alright, alright, Brother Lingqing, let's go see my brother first! Stop lecturing me here."

"Okay! Anyway, you are so opinionated and don't listen to anyone, so let's go!" Although his tone was not good, he still carefully slowed down his pace.

Meng Yichen walked beside him, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

These are my brother's subordinates. They follow my brother through thick and thin and have long been treated as family members by my brother. They are very kind to him and truly love him like a younger brother.

But his body was not good enough because he was poisoned in the womb. His health was very poor since birth and he would fall ill from time to time, which made everyone worried. If he had a headache or fever, his brothers would be very nervous.

Even though his brother is seriously injured and unconscious now, his brothers still care about him. He is actually very content.

"Be careful!" Meng Yichen, who was walking and thinking about something, almost tripped over the steps under his feet. Ling Qing caught him and patted his chest in fear, "What are you thinking! You can't even walk properly."

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what Mr. Cui said about finding me a little apprentice." For some unknown reason, Meng Yichen, who couldn't think of an excuse, blurted out the matter without thinking.

"Master Cui?" Ling Qing thought for a moment. "Why don't you give it a try? I tell you, your problem is that you're bored staying at home all day. Go teach the little apprentice and change your mood. Maybe your health will get better."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's go see my brother first." Meng Yichen paused, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Okay, let's go!" Ling Qing understood his temper. He knew that once he made up his mind, no amount of persuasion would be enough. Better to save his breath and simply not mention it. The two of them walked side by side into the room of Meng Yichen's brother, Meng Yixuan. As soon as they entered, they heard a loud, clear voice saying, "It's moving, it's moving again. Dean Cui, look! The general's eyelids are moving. Is he...is he about to open his eyes?"

"Quiet! You're the noisiest among this bunch. If you keep shouting, I'll give you an injection so you can't speak for at least half a year." The old man's voice came from a group of tall and strong men surrounding the bed. It was obvious from his tone that he was very annoyed.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Do you have to scare me all the time?" The tallest and darkest-skinned one among them covered his mouth with his hand and took two steps back. The volume of his muttering was almost the same as that of an ordinary person's normal speech.

"Pfft!" Meng Yichen burst out laughing, "Brother Gao Yong is still so funny."

Ling Qing couldn't help laughing, "Gao Yong's voice is really loud, sometimes it really gives people a headache."

Suddenly, someone on the other side said, "Shh, be quiet, the general seems to be about to speak."

what?
Meng Yichen and Ling Qing looked at each other, walked towards the bed, and squeezed their heads out from the circle of people to look at the bed.

The pale and thin face of the sleeping Meng Yixuan was now stained with a very light blush. His brows were slightly furrowed into a peak, and his lips, which were dry due to lack of water, kept moving. It was a pity that he had been unconscious for too long and could not make any sound.

"General, are you talking about...the mountain?" Chu Yu, another old man who was second only to Gao Yong in height, stared at Meng Yixuan's mouth with wide eyes and guessed.

"What General Meng said is indeed a mountain, but I really can't make out anything else." The old man looked at it for a long time, and even leaned over to Meng Yixuan's mouth to listen for a while, but he could only come to this conclusion.

"Mountain?" Gao Yong suddenly shouted again, making everyone tremble and cast dissatisfied glances at him. However, he didn't care at all and continued loudly: "We found the general on the mountain behind Liulin Village. Is that the mountain he was talking about?"

Everyone rolled their eyes. Seeing him staring with wide eyes and trying to speak, Chu Yu put his arm around his neck and whispered to him, "Who wouldn't have thought of this! Are you trying to wake the general up with your loud voice?"

"I..." Gao Yong held his breath. Seeing that everyone looked as if Chu Yu was right, he lowered his head in frustration and remained silent.

"The mountain behind Liulin Village..." The old man twisted his beard thoughtfully. He had just returned from Liulin Village today, and just returned from the mountain behind Liulin Village. He didn't expect that the boy from the Meng family was found on that mountain.

"Mr. Cui, what have you thought of?" The person asking the question was Fu Jing, the most knowledgeable among this group of rough guys, and also the most meticulous one among them.

"The old man just came back from the back mountain of Liulin Village today." This matter can be found out with just a little investigation. It cannot be concealed, and the old man doesn't want to hide it.

"What were you doing there?" Gao Yong asked again.

"My little apprentice lives in Liulin Village. His sister took me to the mountains to collect herbs!" The old man rolled his eyes and replied.

"Accept a disciple?" Fu Jing was stunned. There were so many people outside who wanted to be disciples of this Master Cui, but he refused to accept any of them. He offended many people because of this and was tripped up by many people. Even one of his disciples betrayed him. In a fit of anger, he threatened not to accept a disciple anymore, and then came to this town and opened a clinic under a false name.

If the general had not met this person here, it would be another matter whether he would still be alive.

But how come his promises are still fresh in our minds, and he is now accepting another disciple? And judging from his tone, this new disciple is still very young. Isn't he afraid of teaching another ungrateful person?
