Chapter 898: Chapter 899: Cried Because I Saw Hope Chapter 898: Chapter 899: Cried Because I Saw Hope The old master smiled and gently stroked the little girl’s fuzzy head, “Alright, then we won’t study, and later, grandpa will dry herbs with you.”
The little girl sat on the old master’s shoes, hugging his legs, smiling like a little angel, “Grandpa, you’re the best.”
The old master said, “Then go play outside first, grandpa is talking with a guest right now.”
The little girl obediently ran out again, bouncing away.
Gu Mingzhu was sowhat surprised, “When did the old master get a little granddaughter?”
Gu Mingzhu knew that the old master was now ninety-two years old, but he had never married or had children in his lifeti.
He had only taken in many disciples, all of whom were significant figures in traditional Chinese dicine.
Every disciple held him in high regard and honored him as their esteed master.
When the little girl was ntioned, an undeniable smile spread across the old master’s face.
The old master said, “This girl is my one hundredth close disciple, and also my last little disciple.”
Gu Mingzhu and Xia Yangyang were both sowhat surprised.
Gu Mingzhu asked, “Master, you retired twenty years ago, and now you’ve unexpectedly taken in such a young girl as a disciple. Is there a reason behind it?”
The old master said, “There’s no special reason, just a sense of destiny. From the first ti I saw this girl, I felt an affection for her. At that ti, she was not yet two years old and had a life-threatening case of erysipelas. Her father brought her all the way from abroad to , and the illness was so severe that it took half a year of treatnt here to heal. Later, her father suggested she stay with because she had a very special constitution from a young age and needed long-term herbal treatnt, which he felt assured I could provide. Seeing her adorable nature and her intelligence, not to ntion her keen interest in dicinal herbs at such a young age, I took her in as my little disciple. She is now the joy of our herbal lodge, nad Xingxing.”
Gu Mingzhu exclaid, “This little girl is indeed lucky to have received the true teachings from the old master.”
The old master stroked his beard and smiled.
Xia Yangyang suddenly spoke up, “Master, I entrust my son to you. He is currently hospitalized, and once his condition stabilizes a bit, I’ll bring him over to you.”
Xia Yangyang had made up her mind after seeing the little girl.
Xia Yangyang could feel the profound doting and care in the old master’s eyes.
As a mother’s intuition, Xia Yangyang felt that Xia Ye deserved to be entrusted here.
And having a child of about the sa age here to accompany Xia Ye,
Xia Yangyang felt much more at ease.
The old master responded, “Good, then bring the child straight to later. I need to observe his condition first.”
Leaving the herbal lodge,
Xia Yangyang had mixed feelings, and her tears uncontrollably began to fall.
Gu Mingzhu saw right through Xia Yangyang’s thoughts.
Gu Mingzhu comforted her, “Why are you crying when you’ve seen hope?”
Xia Yangyang smiled through her tears, “It’s precisely because I’ve seen hope that I can’t help but cry. I so deeply wish that my son’s illness can be cured. All this ti, I’ve felt terribly guilty; I brought him into this world but couldn’t give him a normal life. I feel like I let him suffer so much. I am willing to give anything in exchange, just hoping that he will get better soon.”
Gu Mingzhu softly said, “I understand how you feel. Trust , Xia Ye will get better. He definitely will.”
Xia Yangyang soon returned to Feng City.
