The Great Doctor Girl

There are various divination instruments on the table. The tortoise shell is simple and heavy, as if carrying the secrets of the long years.

The patterns on the copper coins appear faintly in the dim light, as if telling an ancient and mysterious prophecy.

Yarrow exudes a faint fragrance, and its distant and mysterious charm lingers around.

They stay there quietly, like silent witnesses of history, waiting to be awakened by the hand of fate.

Mr. Ping sat on the armchair, and the armchair seemed to be stained with the vicissitudes of time.

He slowly said to me, "From my observation of your face, I can see that while you possess an air of nobility, you lack the ability to possess wealth. Now I remember you are the descendant of that wealthy family in Ancheng. Back then, I told you to dress simply and live a simple life. It seems you and Luo Shu are destined to be together. Only when you become one can you achieve mutual fulfillment."

I listened respectfully, leaning forward slightly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

My eyes were focused and full of awe, as if I was devoutly listening to the will from God.

Every word Mr. Ping said hit my heart like a hammer. His words about fate made me nervous and full of anticipation.

Mr. Ping continued, "This calamity is extraordinary. It's the result of karma and reincarnation. It's bound to come sooner or later and it's hard to avoid it."

His eyes became extremely profound, as if they had penetrated the mists of time and space and seen the causal connections hidden behind fate.

Huang Junze hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ping, can you tell me more about the Luoshu?"

Mr. Ping pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Since you've found me, there's nothing I need to hide. Luo Shu is the jewel in the crown of the Luo family in Kyoto. The Luo family is like a shining star in Kyoto, a well-deserved reputation as a prestigious clan. The family's influence is vast, like a boundless web, with businesses spanning all walks of life, from bustling commercial centers to remote streets and alleys. Luo Shu has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, her eyes seeming to hold vast stars. Her delicate features are delicate, and her every move exudes a lively and lovely spirit. She is beloved by the elders of the family. In the family, she is like a happy little angel, bringing laughter wherever she goes, and is the source of hope and joy for the entire family."

"However, a tall tree attracts the wind. The Luo family's splendor, like a beacon in the darkness, attracted the jealousy and schemes of many. When Luo Shu was two years old, our family suffered a nightmarish tragedy. That year, someone with ulterior motives approached me, wanting me to take their frail daughter's life in exchange for hers. How could I agree to such a violation of moral principles? But they were still determined and sought out my misguided junior brother, Chen Feng. Lured by the benefits, my junior brother, who had long been expelled from the sect, acted like a demon, and used all means to snatch Luo Shu's life. The bright future that once belonged to Luo Shu was ruthlessly rewritten in that moment."

"I was deeply upset that I failed to successfully stop Chen Feng's cruel and evil deeds at that time, and I was deeply ashamed of my empty reputation. From then on, I retired from the world." Although Mr. Ping's tone was light, it was difficult to hide the ups and downs in his heart.

"But that's not the worst. The hostile forces that competed fiercely with the Luo family were like a pack of ferocious jackals. After Luo Shu's destiny was taken away, they abandoned her at the foot of Mount Baitou and then burned down the Luo family."

At this point, Mr. Ping seemed to be dragged into the abyss of painful memories by an invisible hand, unable to extricate himself.

His eyes were blurred and distant, as if he had traveled through time and space back to the past. Those tragic scenes pricked his soul like thorns, making him immersed in them and unable to break free.

The air around them also became heavy and oppressive, as if in silent mourning for that tragic past.

"The raging fire not only consumed the Luo family's mansion, but also burned away the Luo family's glory and hope. The house collapsed in the flames, precious treasures were reduced to ashes, and no family member was spared."

"After her life was swapped and possessed, Luo Shu was abandoned at the foot of the mountain. She was so weak, lying on the ground, barely breathing. Fortunately, I retrieved her from the foot of the mountain, saving her from this disaster. I used the Eight Trigrams Life-Nourishing Formation, which I had studied for years, to treat her. This formation integrates the principles of yin and yang in heaven and earth, and each hexagram holds the hope of life. Within the formation, Luo Shu was like a faint flame in a raging wind. Thanks to my careful care, she was able to survive."

"This incident caused the Luo family to completely disappear in Kyoto. Luo Shu's parents both died in the fire. They used to be so loving and provided a bright future for the Luo family, but now they are gone forever. Luo Shu lost his closest relatives in ignorance, and the pain is hard for ordinary people to imagine." Mr. Ping's emotions were difficult to calm down for a long time.

Huang Junze was so shocked when he heard this that he was speechless.

"I didn't expect them to give up on this matter and even track down Luo Shu's whereabouts. They are really persistent and clearly determined to kill him! After all, Luo Shu's survival is strong evidence of their crimes back then."

"During the 18 years she lived in the mountains, Luo Shu occasionally heard people down below say that her fate had brought down her entire family. These rumors were like cold arrows, piercing her fragile heart. To inspire her to achieve success in Yi medicine, I didn't deliberately correct these rumors. Instead, I used them to encourage her to study with all her might. I told her that only by being strong could she defy fate's injustice. Like a flower striving to bloom in a storm, she gradually grew up, devotedly studying, immersing herself daily in medical texts and Yi-ology classics, constantly improving her abilities. In her eyes, these obscure knowledge became a powerful weapon against darkness."

"Later, she completed her training and left the mountains. However, if she wanted to fully realize her abilities, she had to find you and marry you. Only then could she save the world and save people. This is fate's will. I hope you can cherish her and help her through this difficult time."

After I heard this, the pity I felt for Luo Shu suddenly surged like a torrent bursting through a dam. My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and it hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.

Anger, pity, self-blame and other emotions are intertwined and tangled like a tangled mess in my heart.

I recalled my previous neglect and indifference towards Luo Shu, and those past events played in my mind like a movie.

Regret raged in my heart like a wild beast, and every struggle doubled the pain.

I hate myself for not realizing the pain Luo Shu was suffering sooner, and I hate myself for not giving her enough care and love.

Those moments that I once ignored are now like sharp blades, piercing my soul again and again, and every wound is bleeding.

I secretly swore that even if I had to give up everything, even if my life was like a candle in the wind, I would treat Luo Shu well for the rest of my life and make up for my past mistakes.

I will protect her from the wind and rain, keep her away from suffering, and let her live a stable, happy and carefree life under the blue sky and white clouds like a free bird.

This determination is like a burning flame that will never go out in my heart.

Ancheng, after Huang Junze left, my longing for him grew like a wildly growing vine, becoming increasingly dense and tightly wrapped around my heart.

On the way home from the clinic, my steps were extremely heavy, and every step seemed to be dragging a huge burden.

The noise from the street seemed to be separated from her ears by a thick curtain, vague and distant.

The laughter and joy of those passers-by seemed to me like an illusory scene from another world, and had nothing to do with me.

Like a body without a soul, I walk alone in this bustling world.

When I got home, I sat by the window and looked at the familiar scenery outside, but it felt so strange.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the room, giving everything a golden hue, but I only felt chilled to the bone, the chill running freely through my veins like an icy snake.

No matter how hard the sun tries to emit warmth, it cannot dispel the haze in one's heart.

I picked up the pen on the table and opened my diary, wanting to record my complicated feelings at the moment.

"Today, you were on a business trip. The moment the phone was hung up, my heart felt like it was missing a piece.

I thought I could face separation calmly, but when this day came, I realized how unbearable it was.

Ever since you treated me sincerely, my emotions have become more dependent on you.

Is this okay?

Can your kindness last forever?

Or will it be as unpredictable as before?

But your deep voice still echoes in my ears, telling me to take care of myself, but he doesn't know that without him by my side, I am like a bird that has lost its direction, wandering alone in the vast sky, not knowing where to go.

I stopped writing, looked at the sky outside the window, and my thoughts drifted away.

Recalling every moment of my encounter with Huang Junze is like a beam of warm light penetrating the years and illuminating my heart.

Those memories are like shining treasures, inlaid in the picture of life, shining every moment and becoming the everlasting beauty in our hearts.

They are the bright stars in the long dark night, the warm comfort in the lonely journey, and the softest and most precious existence in the depths of the soul.

Despite all the things we have experienced in the past, fortunately everything is moving in a good direction.

Feeling his meticulous care now is like the warm spring sunshine shining into the cold winter.

Those unintentional glances, every time their eyes meet, it feels like an electric current passes through the body.

His gaze was like a deep lake, which could easily make me indulge in it.

The occasional touch, the moment when the fingertips touch, seems to ignite the flame in the heart. The flame burns fiercely in the heart, making the heart beat faster.

I continued:

“Jun Ze, you said Zhuo Kai would accompany me, but Zhuo Kai is not you.

I don’t know why your business trip makes me so flustered. Perhaps without realizing it, you have become the most important person in my life.

I don’t know what you will encounter when you go to Mount Paektu, but I just hope you return safely.

Mount Paektu?

Isn’t that where I’ve lived for eighteen years?

What are you doing there? Are you looking for my master?

A series of question marks jumped in my mind, making me feel upset and confused. "

I put down my pen and gently closed the diary, as if locking all my thoughts and questions inside, so that they would no longer wander around and disturb my mind.

Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and my mind was full of Huang Junze's figure.

Recalling the time we spent together, the warm afternoons, strolling in the garden, the sun shining on us, your smile was brighter than the sun, like a bright light, illuminating the journey of life.

Every smile of yours is like a spring breeze, gently blowing across my heart and leaving sweet traces.

As the night deepens, the city lights are still bright, but my world is silent because of Huang Junze's departure.

I tried to close my eyes and force myself to fall asleep, but every time I was about to fall asleep, I would suddenly wake up with my heart beating rapidly. The panicky feeling was like a frightened deer running around in my chest.

This was the first time I had such an indescribable feeling when Huang Junze was not around. This feeling was like a tide in the darkness, surging in wave after wave and drowning me.
