Chapter 96: Going Out With Master

Isn’t it too tiring for Xiaocha to follow the master everywhere?

Su Sanlang’s heart ached for her, but he didn’t say it out loud as he looked at the obedient Su Xiaolu.

After Su Xiaolu learned medicine, she would definitely have to suffer. No matter how much his heart ached for the child, he could not stop her from achieving new heights.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at each other and hid their heartache in their hearts. Su Sanlang nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll leave Simei to you.”

After saying that, Su Sanlang looked at Su Xiaolu gently and said, “Simei, you must listen to your master outside, understand?”

Madam Zhao stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair gently. “Father and Mother will be waiting for you at home.”

Su Xiaolu nodded. She lowered her eyes to eat and did not let Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao see the tears in her eyes.

At night, Madam Zhao sighed softly. “Sanlang, I feel like something is twisting my heart. Sigh…”

Su Sanlang was not asleep either. He reached out and pulled Madam Zhao into his arms. “Me too, but it’s good for Simei to learn more medical skills. In the future, with this ability, she won’t have to worry about food and clothes. Even if she gets married, her husband’s family will think highly of her.”

As parents, they did not have any skills to pass it on to their children. They felt very bad about that.

Su Xiaolu learned medicine, which was a hard skill. If her husband’s family did not treat her well in the future, she would be able to find another place to settle down in. She would not have to worry no matter where she went.

All humans get sick, so doctors are sought after everywhere.

He knew that Madam Zhao’s heart ached for Su Xiaolu because she was still too young, and so did his. However, no matter how much his heart ached, he could only hide it in his heart.

“I know. Sigh…”

Madam Zhao’s heart ached. In the end, all those words turned into a sigh.

In a daze, Su Xiaolu felt herself being hugged and kissed on the forehead.

She heard Su Xiaoling whispering, “Xiaolu, you’ve been smart since you were young. I know you’ll definitely be very successful in the future, but my heart still aches for you. Sigh…”

Su Xiaolu burrowed into Su Xiaoling’s arms and continued to sleep soundly.

Su Xiaoling patted Su Xiaolu’s back before hugging her to sleep.

The next day.

After breakfast, Old Wu brought the medical kit and Su Xiaolu to town.

Su Sanlang’s family saw them out the door and watched them until they were out of sight.

When the Su family was out of sight, Old Wu suddenly squatted down and said to Su Xiaolu calmly, “Girl, come up.”

No matter how agile Su Xiaolu was, she was still a child. This trip was quite far. Her feet would probably swell up if she really walked on her own.

Su Xiaolu looked at Old Wu’s back and said hesitantly, “Master, I’m quite heavy.”

In the past, every time she went to town, her father would carry her. When she came back, her mother or brother would carry her. They doted on her, and they were family. Su Xiaolu naturally enjoyed their kindness to her.

But Old Wu was different. He was her teacher.

“It’s not good to dawdle. Hurry up. It’s annoying.”

Old Wu said impatiently. How heavy could a little girl be? He was not that old and not weak. He could definitely carry a child.

Su Xiaolu nimbly climbed onto Old Wu’s back and thanked him sweetly. “Thank you, Master. When you’re old, I’ll carry you too.”

Old Wu carried Su Xiaolu and walked forward steadily. Hearing Su Xiaolu’s pleasant words, he snorted and said, “You’re not that old, but you’re quite good at bragging.”

Su Xiaolu giggled.

Old Wu could not help but smile.

Perhaps it was because she had had a good life these past few years. The little girl really weighed quite heavy. She had to be more than 30 catties.

But this weight was not enough to tire a man like him.

On the way, Su Xiaolu was afraid that Old Wu would be tired and suggested walking on her own. Old Wu ignored her until they saw the town. Only then did Old Wu put Su Xiaolu down to rest.

Su Xiaolu quickly massaged his shoulders and back.

Old Wu took out a water bottle and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “Girl, drink some water first.”

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “Master, I’m not thirsty. You can drink it.”

Old Wu did not drink either. After resting for a while, he brought Su Xiaolu into the city.

After entering the city, Old Wu brought Su Xiaolu’s to the Sun residence.

Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Master, are we going like this? Will the Sun residence not let us in?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Old Wu. Old Wu looked like an ordinary old man with a bad temper. Everyone in the world was looking for the divine doctor, but if he stood in front of them, they probably wouldn’t recognize him.

Su Xiaolu firmly believed in this. After all, Old Wu had lived in seclusion in Southern Mountain Village for many years. The villagers often looked for him for treatment. Everyone only felt that his medical skills were not bad.

Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Little girl, don’t worry. Just watch.”

Old Wu kept her in suspense. He did it on purpose and did not tell Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu wanted to know more, but she could hold herself back and just follow the old man.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Sun residence, Old Wu took out a letter and handed it to the servant guarding the door. “Deliver this letter to your master.”

The servant saw the seal of the Sun residence on the envelope and respectfully took the letter. “Sir, please wait a moment.”

With that, he hurried into the residence to report.

Old Wu raised his head and puffed out his chest, proudly smoothing his gray beard.

Su Xiaolu was puzzled again. “Master, why do you have a recommendation letter?”

So he had a letter. But how did it come about? Su Xiaolu suddenly felt that her master had many secrets.

Old Wu glanced at Su Xiaolu and said, “Of course, it’s the way of our Minggu. Those who want to seek treatment will send the letter to Minggu. In the end, the letter will reach me. They can’t find me, so they can only wait for me to come.”

The little girl did not make a fuss, so Old Wu did not keep her hanging. In any case, he would pass it to her in the future.

Su Xiaolu nodded. She understood after some thought, but she had a new question.

She asked again, “Master, won’t some people die if they can’t wait for you to save them?”

For example, serious illnesses and acute illnesses couldn’t wait. What was the use of sending a letter to Minggu?

Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and said with a smile, “Girl, do you think everyone in the world is waiting for the Divine Doctor of Minggu to save them? There are many capable people in the world. If they can’t even save their own lives, why bother finding a divine doctor? They might as well die and reincarnate early.”

The little girl was too naive.

Su Xiaolu frowned. She looked at Old Wu and asked again, “Master, what kind of person will you save?”

Old Wu knocked Su Xiaolu’s head and said, “You’re not allowed to ask any more questions after this.”

“Other than some important figures who are important to the country, saving people depends on my mood. If I want to save them, I’ll save them. If I don’t want to save them, then I don’t save them.” After saying that, Old Wu closed his eyes and rested.
