Chapter 235 Doctor Xiao Jiang

"The doctor who taught my family a skill?" Xu Lei was stunned. "Doctor Lin, why are you asking this?"

"I'm looking for an old friend. I feel like he looks like the doctor who taught your family the craft." Doctor Lin did not hide anything and simply explained the reason.

"So that's how it is. The man's surname was Jiang. He was about twenty years old at the time..."

"My surname is Jiang~" Doctor Lin interrupted him, with a hint of expectation in his voice.

The person the master is looking for is named Jiang.

Song Ying was stunned, and suddenly remembered the books at home and the Jiang Liu emblem on the acupuncture bronze man. That was the Jiang family emblem. The doctor Jiang that his master was looking for was a member of the Jiang family!

As his thoughts raced, Dr. Lin quickly took out a painting and unfolded it, asking, "Does it look like this?"

The painting shows a handsome young man wearing a green robe and with black hair, with a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows.

As if searching for memories, Xu Lei stared at the portrait for a long time before he excitedly said, "It's Doctor Xiao Jiang! It's Doctor Xiao Jiang! It turns out that Doctor Xiao Jiang is a rich man!

When he came to my father to make silver needles, he was only wearing coarse linen clothes and didn't wear the jade crown on his head, but his words, actions, and every move didn't seem like something that could be raised by an ordinary family! "

At this point, Xu Lei asked curiously, "Doctor Lin, has something happened to Doctor Xiao Jiang's family?"

Doctor Lin did not answer, but continued to ask: "Do you know where he went later?"

"I didn't know about that. After making the silver needles, he left without saying goodbye. I haven't met him since then." Speaking of this, Xu Lei couldn't help but feel regretful. After discovering that making silver needles could make more money than ordinary iron tools, his father wanted to find Doctor Xiao Jiang again to ask for advice on how to make copper pestles and mortars, medicine scales and other medical tools.

If they had learned how to forge a few more medical instruments, the Xu family might not be in this situation today.

"Think about it again. Did he say where he was going?" Doctor Lin did not give up.

Xu Lei thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, he rarely speaks. Apart from instructing us on how to make silver needles, he only talks about daily matters and never mentions his origins.

Oh, by the way, he was very anxious at that time, and kept asking how long it would take. My father was very surprised and asked him.

He said that his grandmother was old and couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to rush back to spend her last Mid-Autumn Festival with her, but my father felt that he was not telling the truth.

Since he was in a hurry to go back to see the old man for the last time, the silver needle should not have been made on the way. With Doctor Xiao Jiang's ability, he could teach any blacksmith how to make it. He could just wait until he got home and saw the old man before asking a blacksmith to make the silver needle.

I think he was in a hurry to use the silver needles to save people, but this is also very strange. It takes several days to make a set of silver needles. If it was really urgent, he could borrow a set of silver needles from the county doctor, or buy them from someone else as a backup. "

Doctor Lin pursed her lips and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she asked again: "Anything else? Any information is fine."

"That's all. Doctor Xiao Jiang is a very quiet person. He keeps silent when it comes to his own affairs." As he spoke, Xu Lei glanced at Doctor Lin and wanted to add, "He's very similar to you," but he didn't dare to speak.

He still relies on the doctor to treat his son, so how can he criticize the doctor to his face?

Song Ying looked at the portrait. It was a handsome young man named Jiang...

It seems that the herbal medicine that Grandpa Huang in the village learned was taught by a doctor named Jiang.

She hesitated and said, "Master, I know a young doctor named Jiang."

Doctor Lin turned his head and looked at her.

"There is a veterinarian named Huang in our village. It is said that when he was young, he saved a young man named Jiang. Later, that man taught him some herbs. Grandpa Huang became a veterinarian for several villages near us.

The elders in our village who have seen the young man all said that he was very handsome, like a god in a painting.”

Doctor Lin had never expected that, after so many twists and turns, it turned out that his apprentice knew the clue.

"When was that?"

"I don't know the exact time, but it was when Grandpa Huang was young, so it should have been several decades ago."

Doctor Lin nodded and decided to go to Xinghua Village in the afternoon. She said to Xu Lei, "Can you show me the drawings he gave you?"

"This..." Xu Lei was a little hesitant. Although he already knew how to forge silver needles and didn't need the blueprints, he still wanted to pass it on to his descendants. Especially for his son, who was in such a poor condition, there was no way to teach him how to forge iron. He could only hope to teach him after his grandson was born.

But that would take a long time, and if something unexpected happened in the middle, he wouldn't be able to teach in person. With the blueprints, his future grandson could also learn by looking at the blueprints, so that he wouldn't be left without a skill to make a living.

Doctor Lin saw what he was thinking and said, "I'm just going to take a look, I'm not going to take it away."

"Wait a minute, I'll get it."

Xu Lei swept away his previous hesitation, turned and went into the bedroom. After a while, he came out with a small wooden box, pushed the lid on it, and took out a piece of paper folded into a square.

Open the paper, and you will see light ink on it, outlining one silver needle after another. Each one has a specific size marked on it, and the shape and curvature of the needle are also explained, which is very detailed.

Looking at the familiar words, the memories buried deep in her mind suddenly came alive. She seemed to see the person spreading out paper and pen, writing with his wrist suspended, word by word, with utmost seriousness.

He has been a very serious person since he was young, and he does everything meticulously.

Doctor Lin felt his eyes getting hot, so he quickly lowered his eyes and took a long time to calm down his surging emotions.

After coming out of Xu's house, Song Yingcai asked softly, "Master, are you okay?"

She had just noticed that her master was in a bad mood, but because Xu Lei and his son were there, she couldn't point it out.

Doctor Lin shook his head: "Go back to the mansion to make arrangements, and we will go to your village."

Song Ying became even more curious about this young Doctor Jiang. "Master, is the Doctor Jiang you are looking for your uncle or uncle? Are those books with the emblem at home his?"

Doctor Lin nodded slowly: "He is your uncle, three generations of his ancestors were imperial doctors, and the books in the family have been accumulated from generation to generation."

"Then why weren't those books passed on to my uncle?" Song Ying was curious and puzzled. She had been puzzled before as to how the Jiang family's books ended up in the hands of her master, whose surname was Lin.

Now I am even more confused. There are people in the Jiang family who study medicine. If the family cannot pass on the medical knowledge, how can they give away the medical books they have accumulated to outsiders?

After asking, she found that her master's expression became very complicated, with a mixture of pain, hatred, regret, sadness and other emotions.

"Something happened back then."

After answering this, Doctor Lin stopped talking.

It was not until they reached the East Street that she said, "Go tell your uncle first, I'll go to the clinic to find you later."
