Chapter 240 Official Servants
Huang Yihai shook his head: "I don't know about that. He didn't mention where he was going when he left."
Doctor Lin was immediately disappointed. "Didn't he mention any place?"
Huang Yihai thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, Doctor Xiao Jiang rarely speaks. At first I almost thought he was dumb."
It's like this again, Song Ying muttered to himself, this master uncle did this on purpose, maybe he didn't want people he knew before to find him.
He deliberately didn't want to be found, so even if they found many clues, it would still be difficult to find him.
She looked at her master worriedly, but found that she had quickly calmed down. She continued to ask, "Has anyone else come to see him in these years?"
Song Ying was stunned. She didn't expect her master to ask this. She thought it would be like at the Xu family. After there was no clue about where her uncle had gone, her master would be concerned about his situation at the time. After all, the uncle that Grandpa Huang met was unconscious.
She didn't understand, but didn't interrupt. She just looked at Huang Yihai, waiting for his answer.
Huang Yihai was immediately shocked and denied it repeatedly: "No, no, Doctor Xiao Jiang died not long after he woke up. In our small village, if a relative comes to visit, the whole village will know about it. Everyone knew about Doctor Xiao Jiang's story at the beginning. You can go and ask and you will know."
He was so flustered and irrelevant in his answer that even Song Ying could tell he was lying.
Doctor Lin frowned, a trace of worry flashed across his face, and he softened his tone, "Old man, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
She took off the crescent jade pendant tied around her waist, and took out a purse from her sleeve. She opened it and found a jade pendant inside. "Yuanfeng is not only my senior brother, but also my fiancé. This is the token of our engagement."
She held a jade pendant in one hand and put them together. The two jade pendants fit together perfectly, forming a round hollow jade pendant. Even the patterns inside matched, which was very delicate.
"This jade pendant is a pair. This one originally belonged to Yuanfeng. Something happened back then and his jade was taken away."
At this point, Doctor Lin paused before continuing, "I later found a way to get it back, but unfortunately, the owner of the jade pendant could not be found."
Although Lin Wenxuan didn't understand why his aunt said these things, he still helped, "Grandpa Huang, this is true. My aunt and my uncle grew up together. They were childhood sweethearts and were engaged when they were still in their mother's womb.
If it hadn't been for the accident, they would have gotten married. Over the years, my aunt has been looking for my uncle and never gave up. "
Huang Yihai was a little confused when he heard this. He recognized Lin Wenxuan and knew that he was the medicine boy of Huichuntang. In the past few years, he went to Huichuntang to see Doctor Ma for treatment, and it was this boy who prescribed the medicine.
He pointed at Doctor Lin and asked doubtfully, "Little Doctor Lin, is this your great aunt?"
Doctor Lin noticed the change in his tone and said hurriedly, "It's our fault that we didn't make it clear. Ma Jiajun is my and Yuanfeng's junior brother, and Wenxuan is my nephew. I'm working in the Shen Mansion, so it's not convenient for me to teach him, so I asked him to become my junior brother's disciple."
"So you are Doctor Ma's senior sister!" Huang Yihai relaxed at once, "I didn't expect that Doctor Xiao Jiang is Doctor Ma's senior brother!"
After a few sighs, he said, "To be honest, someone did come to see Doctor Xiao Jiang."
Doctor Lin's expression tensed, "Who is it?"
Huang Yihai recalled for a while and said, "It was about three or four days after Doctor Xiao Jiang left. There was not much farm work in winter, so my family had dinner early and went to bed.
Just when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard some noise in the yard. Thinking that a thief had broken into the yard, I jumped up, picked up the carrying pole in the corner and rushed out, only to find that there were five police officers in my yard.
Two people were standing on the left and right with torches, lighting up the yard. The big knives in their hands were especially frightening. I was so scared that my hands and feet went limp that I lost my grip on the carrying pole and it fell to the ground. An officer immediately put the knife to my neck.
Although forty-two years have passed, Huang Yihai still shivers unconsciously when he thinks about it now, and he feels the cold feeling of the blade against his neck again.
He pinched his neck and rubbed it, letting his palms rub against the skin to generate some warmth, and only then did he feel a little more at ease.
"Luckily, the noise of the pole falling alarmed my parents, and they came out quickly, otherwise I think the officer would have killed me."
"Dad, why didn't you tell me about this before?" Huang Yihai's son was stunned.
Huang Yihai glared at him. "You are such a grown-up, and yet you are still making such a fuss. What a disgrace!"
"How can I not be scared of such a big thing? If something had happened to you then, there would be no me now."
Huang Yihai tapped his pipe, puffed his beard and glared: "Shut up!"
Seeing that a teaching scene was about to begin, Doctor Lin quickly interrupted: "What happened next?"
“When my parents came out, the officer put a knife to their necks and let them go. Then he held up a portrait and asked me if I had saved the person in the portrait.
I rescued Doctor Xiao Jiang and the whole village knew about it. I couldn't hide it, so I told them the truth. They asked me where Doctor Xiao Jiang had gone, but I didn't know, so I said I didn't know.
They were very angry, and one officer even slashed my father's neck with a knife, saying that he would kill my parents if I didn't tell him.
I was terrified, but I really didn’t know what to do, so I just begged them.”
As he said these words, Huang Yihai's hand holding the pipe was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was very scared at the time. Even after so many years, he still couldn't help feeling scared when he thought about it.
"I don't know how long I begged, but they finally let my parents go, saying that they were wanted criminals by the government, and warned us not to tell anyone, otherwise they would arrest us and put us in jail. Then they left."
Song Ying was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that someone knew that the person who died on the execution ground was not his uncle?
She looked at her master, only to see her pursed lips, expressionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
Huang Yihai took a puff of cigarette to ease his emotions, and then said: "Dr. Xiao Jiang is such a good person. When he was in the village, he diagnosed pulses and treated patients for free for the whole village. After prescribing medicine, he also helped us pick some herbs from the mountain, which saved us a lot of money. He is so kind, how could he be a wanted criminal wanted by the government?
Moreover, how could officials arrest people so quietly? They acted like thieves. I suspected that they were thieves in disguise. Later, I went to the gate of the yamen and watched for a long time, but I didn’t see the five people from that night.
I wanted to report it to the police, but my parents said that those people were so cruel that if we angered them, they might kill our whole family."
Song Ying glanced at his master and began to speculate secretly, could it be that someone knew that his master had replaced his uncle, kidnapped his uncle, and then his uncle escaped, and those people kept chasing him?
