Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 434 Request

After hearing what happened and watching the mother and son's words and actions, Song Ying had roughly guessed that the scholar's fear was due to the endless pressure he was carrying, especially the high expectations of his family.

At first, he did not have enough knowledge and failed the exams twice. This was not a big deal for his age, but because he was carrying the expectations of his whole family, especially since the whole family spent all their savings to support his studies, the pressure became even greater.

I was unlucky again when I took the exam for the third time. I encountered very difficult questions on the part that required connections. From then on, I began to doubt my abilities. After that, the pressure grew greater and my fear became more severe.

After understanding the cause of the disease, she had an idea, but she said, "I remember seeing a similar situation in a book."

Both mother and son were delighted and looked at her expectantly.

Song Ying frowned slightly, thinking for a long time before saying, "I don't remember the details, but the book seems to be at home. How about this, you guys come back tomorrow and go back to look for it tonight."

"Can't we go back now?" Lu Muqie asked, "It's still early now, there are no patients, and besides, aren't Doctor Ma and his men here?"

"Auntie, there are still several months before the college entrance examination. You don't have to rush on this day."

This was the only hope. Lu Xu was afraid of angering Song Ying and not telling them the treatment method, so he immediately pulled his mother and persuaded her, "Mom, don't rush at this moment. Doctor Song just came from the north of the city. If she goes back now, it will take another morning. How can we delay her for a whole morning because of us?"

Mother Lu glared at him and wanted to scold him, but because Song Ying was there, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She smiled and compromised, "Okay, then we'll come again tomorrow. Doctor Song, you must keep this in mind and find the book when you go back tonight."

"Don't worry, I will find it."

Song Ying agreed, but Lu's mother was still worried and gave repeated instructions several times before taking Lu Xu away.

After they left, Doctor Ma came in and asked suspiciously, "You got all the medical books at home from your master, right? Why haven't I seen any cases of treating leukemia?"

"I coaxed them."

Doctor Ma: “…”

"Then how do you plan to treat it?" Lin Wenxuan asked curiously after washing the dishes.

"It's a secret." Song Ying smiled mysteriously and turned to look at Doctor Ma, "Uncle Master, I have to go back early this afternoon."

Obviously, he went back early in order to cure the scholar's panic. Doctor Ma naturally agreed. This made Lin Wenxuan even more curious. Throughout history, there have been many candidates suffering from panic, and basically, there is no cure.

He felt like he was being scratched by a cat. At 3 p.m., Song Ying left early. He was even more anxious to know the reason and wished he could go with him.

After leaving Huichun Hall, Song Ying went out of the city and headed straight for Qingfeng Temple.

The Taoist temple is located halfway up the mountain. Few people come here. The gate is open, and inside there are lush vegetation and a quiet and lonely atmosphere.

Song Ying knocked on the door, but after a long time there was no response, he walked in. "Is anyone there?"

She asked as she walked until she reached the door of the temple where the statue was enshrined, and finally heard an old voice answer, "Someone is here, wait a moment, they will be here soon."

Not long after, Taoist Master Yuanrong from that day came out from behind a big tree nearby, holding a sickle in his hand. His clothes were lifted up and tucked into his belt, and his shoes were covered with mud. He must be weeding.

He obviously still remembered Song Ying, and said with a smile: "So you are a young lay Buddhist, do you want to worship the Heavenly Lord?"

Qingfeng Temple only enshrines one statue of deity - the Lord of Daode, also known as Taishang Laojun, who is also the incarnation of Laozi.

"Well, don't worry about that. I have something I want to ask you for help." Song Ying gave a brief account of the scholar's situation, and finally asked, "Can you help me tell a little lie and ask the scholar not to see his family before the college entrance examination is over? It would be best if you could lie to him and tell him that he will definitely pass the exam this year! He already knows the classics, and if it weren't for the shock, he would have passed the exam long ago."

While Song Ying was talking, Taoist Yuan Rong put down his sickle and washed his hands in a bucket beside him. After listening to her, he looked disapproving and said, "How can you lie in front of the ancestor?"

"Ah?" Song Ying was dumbfounded. She had seen him talking nonsense about fortune and helping Juan'er get money for medicine before. She thought this Taoist priest was a flexible person who didn't care about those rigid rules.

Besides, wasn't he also lying when he lied about his fortune?

Taoist Master Yuanrong turned around and bowed to the statue of Taishang Laojun enshrined in the hall, muttering, "Little girl, please forgive me for not being polite."

He bowed very casually, without even lighting a stick of incense or candles. After he finished speaking, he turned around, looked at Song Ying and said, "Just now, the old Taoist felt something and calculated with his fingers. The scholar you mentioned has a predestined relationship with my Qingfeng Temple. You can let him come. There are still a few houses in the temple where he can live.

I think his luck in the exam is incompatible with his mother's. If he studies hard in Qingfeng Temple before the exam and listens to the teachings of the master, the problem can be solved. When he takes the exam, he will surely be able to pass the exam easily."

Song Ying opened her mouth wide and was dumbfounded again. These words meant the same thing as what she had just said, except that they were more mysterious and sounded serious.

Besides, you haven’t even seen the person, and don’t even know their name or birth date, but you can tell the truth by counting on your fingers?

He's not even telling a lie. Who could be a better liar than him?

After being shocked for a while, she closed her wide mouth, cleared her throat, adjusted her expression, and said sincerely, "It is true that I spoke without thinking, Master Tianzun, please forgive me, I will definitely learn etiquette when I go back!"

As he spoke, he also bowed to the statue enshrined inside.

Taoist Master Yuanrong's eyes were full of smiles, and he praised: "The young layman has wisdom."

Song Ying responded with a polite smile. Well, I learned a little life experience today. Sometimes, even though everyone understands it, they still need a fig leaf and can't say it too bluntly.

After thanking Taoist Master Yuanrong again, she went back. The next morning when she arrived at the clinic, Lu Xu and his mother were already waiting there, and Doctor Ma was talking to them.

Song Ying hadn't entered the house yet. She was outside talking to Aunt Chen next door. When Lu's mother heard her voice, she immediately stood up and said, "Doctor Song is here. I'll go and meet him. Ma Dada, Doctor Xiaolin, you guys go and eat quickly. I won't waste your time."

Since you knew it would cause delay, why did you come here so early?

Lin Wenxuan secretly complained, and was also very curious about Song Ying's so-called treatment method.

Not only was he curious, Doctor Ma was also curious. He said, "She is just a junior, and she is going back to her own home. How can you bother to pick her up? Wenxuan, go and ask your junior sister to come in quickly."

Hearing this, Lu's mother felt a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "This child's illness is the most important thing for our family. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Doctor Ma politely expressed his understanding.
