Chapter 669: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
Chapter 669: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
Lu Yangyang had long hoped to meet Wenren Jing, and when she saw that Wenren Jing actually knew her, she hurriedly introduced herself, "Madam, my name is Lu Yangyang."
“Then I’ll call you Yangyang,” Wenren Jing said with a smile. “Why call me Madam? Just call me Aunt Jing.”
Lu Yangyang quickly called out, "Aunt Jing."
Wenren Jing couldn't help but reach out and touch her face. "I saw your mother when she was still a young lady, and I was immediately struck by her beauty. You are just as beautiful as your mother."
Wen Qingqing couldn't help but mutter, "Mom, you haven't seen her second brother, he's even more monstrous."
Wenren Jing laughed and said, "Your obsession with good looks hasn't changed at all."
"Sister, don't rush to reminisce. I have a favor to ask of you, and you absolutely must help me." Wen Yu hurriedly tugged at Wenren Jing's sleeve.
"What's got you so anxious?" Wenren Jing looked at Wen Yu curiously. In her memory, her younger brother was only interested in medicine, and she had never seen him care about anything else. He spent most of his time traveling, and she hadn't seen him for many years.
Wen Yu glanced at Rong Xin, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled Wenren Jing to go outside: "Let's talk outside."
"What's the rush? We haven't even met everyone yet!" Wenren Jing noticed everyone in the room as he entered, especially Rong Xin, who was sitting blankly in the chair. "And this is?"
As they were talking, Rong Xin sat in her chair, her eyes vacant, showing no reaction whatsoever, and not even glancing in their direction.
Although most of the scars on her face had faded, crisscrossing red marks covered her face and neck, and even the back of her exposed hands were covered in scars, indicating that she had suffered serious injuries.
Wen Qingqing whispered to Wenren Jing, "Mother, this is the Ghost Hand Doctor!"
"The Ghost Hand Doctor?" Wenren Jing looked at Rong Xin meaningfully. "Is that the legendary Ghost Hand Doctor whose knife skills are so superb that he can bring the dead back to life?"
Wen Qingqing covered her mouth: "Did your uncle say that?"
Wenren Jing glanced around at everyone in the room and suddenly said, "Could you all go out first? I have something I'd like to discuss with the Divine Doctor alone."
Lu Yangyang looked at Wenren Jing in surprise.
She had no doubt that Wenren Jing had any ill intentions. With Wen Qingqing and Wen Yu confirming that the person in front of her was indeed Wenren Jing, she asked to talk to her aunt alone. Could it be that she knew her aunt's identity?
But just now, she heard clearly that Qingqing only mentioned the Ghost Hand Doctor. Before coming to Changyang County, even Wen Yu did not know the Ghost Hand Doctor's true identity, so how could Wenren Jing know?
Could it be that Zong Que said it?
But hasn't Zong Que not seen Wenren Jing for a long time either? Even if they had corresponded, it must have been a long time ago, right?
Lu Yangyang had a lot of questions in her mind, but none of them were the main point. The main point was that her aunt was in a condition where she couldn't withstand any stimulation. If Wenren Jing said anything to her, it might trigger her emotions and cause her to have an attack.
“Aunt Jing, my aunt isn’t feeling well right now. Could I wait outside? If anything happens, please call me immediately!” Lu Yangyang said after thinking for a moment.
"Sister, why don't you let me stay..." Wen Yu looked at Wenren Jing with concern.
Wenren Jing looked helpless. "Don't worry, I just want to say a few words to her. It's not convenient for me to tell you right now. Just wait outside the door. I'll call you if I need anything, okay?"
Wen Yu was still a little worried, but Lu Yangyang nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Jing."
Then he dragged Wen Yu outside.
Wen Qingqing and Jiang Zhiyi followed them out.
Just as they stepped outside, Sheng Yunjiao returned from outside. Seeing everyone waiting outside, she asked curiously, "What happened? Why are you all outside?"
Wen Qingqing: "My mother is here."
"What?" Sheng Yunjiao's voice almost split open. She quickly covered her mouth and curiously peeked inside. "A living legend!"
Wen Qingqing said in disbelief, "You're exaggerating."
"Can you not exaggerate? It's a pity I was born too late, otherwise I could have..." Sheng Yunjiao excitedly tried to get closer to the door, but Lu Yangyang pulled her back.
Wen Yu paced anxiously to the side: "What happened? I didn't know they knew each other?"
Wen Yu was filled with resentment. He had been searching for this person for over a decade, and it seemed like everyone around him knew, except for him.
Also, given his sister's mischievous nature, what exactly did she want to say to Rong Xin?
Inside the room, Wenren Jing walked up to Rong Xin and quietly looked into her eyes, but Rong Xin did not react at all.
Wenren Jing stroked his chin, scrutinizing Rong Xin, and suddenly blurted out, "Imperial Jade Liquor?"
Rong Xin did not react.
Wenren Jing persisted, "A pagoda to suppress the river demon?"
"Are you my little apple?"
How are you?
"Ma Dongmei?"
"..."
Rong Xin still did not react.
Wenren Jing frowned. "Why isn't there any reaction? Could I have made a mistake? That's impossible. The Ghost Hand Doctor is skilled in surgery. This person is definitely a surgeon. I've been asking around for a long time, but I haven't seen him. Could this not be him? That's impossible too. My daughter and my younger brother may not be very reliable, but they wouldn't mistake someone else, would they?"
Wenren Jing looked at Rong Xin dejectedly: "Fellow villager, fellow villager, can you say something?"
"They say meeting an old friend in a foreign land brings tears to your eyes. I've traveled through decades and finally met someone who seems to be from my hometown. Could it be a mistake? Are you a surgeon? Which hospital are you from?"
Wenren Jing stared intently at Rong Xin, unwilling to give up.
"Hospital, hospital..." A sharp pain shot through Rong Xin's head as she muttered unconsciously, "Fire, the ward is on fire. Some family members are retaliating; they deliberately set fire to the ward at night..."
Wenren Jing excitedly stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "You mean, you were a surgeon at the hospital, and you only transmigrated because you encountered a medical dispute where someone set fire to the ward?"
However, Rong Xin's body began to tremble, and she kept muttering, "Fire, fire..."
Wenren Jing immediately realized Rong Xin's situation and quickly called out, "Yangyang, Wenyu!"
Wen Yu burst through the door and rushed in. Seeing Rong Xin trembling with panic, she looked at Wenren Jing reproachfully: "Sister, what exactly did you say to her?"
Wenren Jing, realizing he was in the wrong, touched his nose.
Lu Yangyang stepped forward and gave Rong Xin an acupuncture needle, and Rong Xin quickly fainted.
Lu Yangyang picked her up and put her back on the bed in the inner room before coming out and looking at the guilty Wenren Jing, "It was just a momentary emotional outburst. She's asleep now and everything's fine. Aunt Jing, there's no need to blame yourself."
Wenren Jing was indeed very embarrassed: "I just wanted to establish a family connection. It was my fault for not finding out the situation beforehand."
But what she wanted to know more about was how her "fellow villager" had ended up like this.
