Chapter 221: Tsk tsk tsk, miserable, too miserable
"Dad is right. I think you are overthinking it." He Tiesheng walked over slowly and said, "Shuheng and his wife are not that kind of people. They have even let your story go. Who would have the time to target a child?"
Xiao Wang pouted, speechless for a moment. Although He Tiesheng no longer wanted to divorce her, he was still much colder to her, no longer the same as before. She felt bitter, but she could only swallow it alone.
He Tiesheng touched Erhuzi's head and said, "Erhuzi, if you want to go find Yangyang to play, go ahead! If Yangyang is willing to play with you, you can play there. If he doesn't want to play with you, you can come back."
"Really? Dad, can I really go play with Yangyang?" Erhuzi raised his head from He Wangshi's arms, "Yangyang has a little rabbit. Everyone has gone to see the little rabbit. I want to see the little rabbit too."
"Of course you can go play with Yangyang. Aren't you two good friends?"
Encouraged by He Tiesheng, Erhuzi wiped his tears and ran out with a clear goal in mind, running directly towards Shuisheng's home.
When he arrived outside Shuisheng's house, he became timid again. He secretly watched from outside the door for a long time. Seeing that his friends were playing with the little rabbit, he was very envious.
Finally, he mustered up his courage and timidly called out, "Yang, Yangyang..."
"Huh?" Yang Yang heard someone calling him and turned to look, "Er Huzi."
"Yangyang, can I play with you guys?"
"Sure! Come on! We are playing with the little rabbit!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Erhuzi's face. Yangyang was really willing to play with him, and unlike what his mother said, Yangyang did not hate him.
Being able to play with his friends again and touch the little rabbit, Erhuzi quickly forgot his previous grievances and played with his friends.
In the courtyard of the Hang family, Old Man Xin squatted in front of Uncle Chai Wu, staring at his face. Uncle Chai Wu was annoyed by his stare and sat in another direction, but Old Man Xin moved over again and stared at him head-on.
Uncle Chai sighed and simply closed his eyes to meditate, allowing him to watch as long as he wanted.
Finally, Old Man Xin spoke, and the first thing he said was not a pleasant one, "Tsk tsk tsk, miserable, too miserable."
He had just learned about Uncle Chai from Song Ning, and it was indeed tragic!
Uncle Chai Wu's eyelids twitched. This old man was really outspoken! Just as he continued to pretend that the old man didn't exist, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by the other party. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the old man was holding his pulse, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Finally, Old Man Xin let him go and said, "You are lucky because that bastard gave you the 'Goodbye Quick' that I prepared myself, otherwise you would be dead."
Hang Shuheng just walked over and heard the old man utter such an extremely rustic medicine name. He couldn't help but laugh, "Old man, such a good medicine, can't you give it a more elegant name?"
"I like it. What's wrong with this name? Get well soon, get well soon. If you take it, your internal injuries will get well soon. What's wrong with that?" Old Man Xin pointed at Uncle Chai Wu and said, "He took 'Get Well Soon'. Wouldn't his internal injuries get well soon?"
"Well...if you insist on saying that, it does make sense." After his explanation, Hang Shuheng was speechless. He simply changed the subject, "Grandpa, take a look at the wound on Uncle Chai's face. Can it be cured?"
Old Man Xin did not reply immediately. He rolled his shrewd eyes and began to praise himself: "Of course, who am I? I am known as..."
He stopped talking halfway. It was a close call. He almost let the cat out of the bag and exposed his identity in front of outsiders. If it were in the past, he wouldn't care. But now, he shouldn't say anything more. The fewer people know his identity, the less trouble the Hang family will have.
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then said, "It can be cured, but there is a condition."
Seeing the old man's evil smile, he knew it was not a good thing. Uncle Chai spoke before Hang Shuheng, "Sir, you don't have to worry about me. It doesn't matter if this face is not cured. It's fine as it is."
"Uncle Chai, don't worry." Hang Shuheng gave him a calming look, "Let's first listen to what the old man's conditions are! Old man, please tell me."
Old Man Xin hesitated for a moment and thought, if he really told them, he would be kicked out by the couple, right?
Seeing him laughing, Hang Shuheng asked again, "Hmm? Any concerns?"
"Hehe! There is a little bit, but I'm afraid you won't agree." Old man Xin pointed a little bit with his finger.
"You tell me first."
"My condition is that Yangyang learns from me. I will teach him all the medical skills, poison skills, and flying needles, and let him be my successor."
Hang Shuheng was silent for a moment. Come on, he just looked down on him. Not long ago, he was begging him to be his apprentice in prison, but now he has changed his target.
The old man has all these skills. If he really wants to teach, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let Yangyang learn from him. "This is a good thing! If Yangyang can learn half of your skills, he will be lucky."
After saying this, Hang Shuheng saw that he was still hesitating, and it was obvious that he had something else to say, "Any other questions?"
According to Hang Shuheng's understanding, this old man has always been straightforward. His sudden hesitancy must be a bad thing. There must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary.
Sure enough, when the old man expressed his final thoughts, Hang Shuheng wanted to throw him out.
"Yangyang must let me take him away."
Hang Shuheng and Uncle Chai Wu said in unison, "No."
For Hang Shuheng, although this old man was very capable and he could feel that the old man had no ill will towards them, he would never easily hand his son over to an old man whom he had only known for less than two months.
Uncle Chai was worried that the old man had ulterior motives. After all, Yangyang's identity was not ordinary. If he could find out, there was no guarantee that others would not find out. Once Yangyang's identity was exposed and fell into the hands of those people, the consequences would be difficult to predict. He would use Yangyang to do something wrong.
"Why not? Since you are learning skills, you must go out more often to see the world. Just like you scholars often say, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. The same is true for learning medicine and poison. Giving him a medical book can't make him more profound than taking him to find rare treasures in person."
Hang Shuheng knew that what the old man said made sense, but he would not give in just because it made sense. What's more, Song Ning would never tolerate the child leaving them.
"Can't we just stop learning?"
"Humph, you little bastard, I think you are short-sighted. You make me so angry."
