Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Mu Lin Returns Home_1 Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Mu Lin Returns Home_1 Mu Lin and Jing Chen seemed to have a decent relationship from what they’d seen last time.
They originally thought that the lad might have taken a fancy to a girl, but it seems he cunningly coaxed someone into joining him instead. That wouldn’t do! How could their Mu get subjected to such hardships! It appears they need to have a chat with old Jing Chen.
How could that lad torment a young lady like that, showing no sign of cherishing her delicacy? It’s pathetic seeing that he doesn’t know how to cherish others.
One has to admit that on this matter, Mei Qingyuan really misunderstood Jing Chen, but that’s a matter of the future. As for now… well, they have to acknowledge it!
This is Jing Chen’s Achilles heel.
“Jing Chen?” Hearing Mei Qingyuan’s words, Zhou Jiansheng turned to Mu Lin, “Did he ask you to go?” Zhou Jiansheng was fairly familiar with Jing Chen, a youth who was a frontrunner among his peers, but he hadn’t known that Jing Chen and Mu Lin were so close.
Because Mei Qingyuan hadn’t brought it up, Zhou Jiansheng didn’t know about the intricate relationship between Mu Lin and Jing Chen.
“Yes.” Mu Lin nodded but then shook her head. “But it wasn’t entirely him.” She had her own reasons.
Despite how Mu Lin put it, Jing Chen was inevitably blamed for this.
“Child, even though you’re just a tag-along doctor, it’s not as easy out there.” Zhou Jiansheng said gravely, “If you go there, you’ll have to bear some hardships.” The training in that place alone is tough on men, let alone little girls like Mu Lin.
Especially considering that Mu Lin was going to join Jing Chen’s team, she was no joke, she could put herself in dangerous situations at any moment.
In truth, they were once baffled by Jing Chen’s choice of future. Now, they think they might understand it a bit.
“I think there shouldn’t be any problem.” Mu Lin chuckled lightly.
She grew up in the mountains and often followed her master around to work as a barefoot doctor. She had heard stories about the place she was set to go, and she was a bit curious about what it was genuinely like.
This would be a good opportunity to broaden her horizons.
Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words and recognizing her determination, Zhou Jiansheng and Mei Qingyuan shared a glance. After some thought, they decided not to dissuade her anymore, “Since you’ve made up your mind, we old men won’t stand in your way.”
“When are you planning to go?” Zhou Jiansheng asked. He wanted to be prepared in advance. However, he realized that in such a large hospital, they didn’t seem to have anyone who could replace her.
It’s a shame, he thought.
“After giving old Jing his first acupuncture session tomorrow, I plan to go home. When I come back from home, I’ll directly report to Jing Chen.” One week is neither long nor short, at least sufficient for her to do what she wants to do.
“That soon.” Mei Qingyuan sighed, then smiled slowly, “I was hoping to learn a few more things from you.” Now… Mei Qingyuan stopped talking.
“There will be plenty of opportunities for that in the future.” Mu Lin smiled slightly, and then as if she just remembered something, she turned to Mei Qingyuan. “By the way, old Mei, when I go home this time, I’ll bring back a few medical books my master treasured. How does that sound?” She had practically read all those books. Instead of letting them rot, she decided it’s best to let others find them useful.
“Really!” Mei Qingyuan was overjoyed, “That would be wonderful.” Having missed the opportunity to meet Mu Lin’s master was a great regret in his life. He had wanted to learn a trick or two from him. Surely, the medical books treasured by Mu Lin’s master must be precious.
Mu Lin gave a light laugh, “My master read those books and even wrote some of his insights in some places.” Of course, some of them were hers, but she didn’t elaborate on that.
Mu Lin thought that for people studying Chinese medicine, her master’s medical books would be absolute treasures.
Not just Mei Qingyuan, even Zhou Jiansheng was extremely excited. Although he practiced western medicine, he couldn’t deny that the medical skill and knowledge passed down by the predecessors was the most precious and rare resource for medical practitioners.
Such a great opportunity couldn’t be missed; he needed to read them thoroughly and, of course, also conduct some research based on them.
