Chapter 26 – A Karmic Affair

The old master was disappointed to the extreme. Feeling that the little girl was quite good at everything else, only her speech lacked skill, able to make people instantly fall from being full of hope to having their hopes completely dashed, making people panic when listening to her.

He shook his head and said, ”I know you are well-intentioned, but healing is not child’s play. Some doctors who have studied for a lifetime may not be able to master the art of healing, while you have only studied for a mere twenty-one days, and you’ve even learned the skin of the matter. Moreover, that person is not necessarily Shen old divine doctor …….”

Jiang Yishi smiled and spoke to himself.

“At the beginning of February this year, the third anniversary of my father’s death, I went to Xiangshan Guanghe Temple to copy scriptures and vegetarianism for a month. One day, after I finished copying the scriptures, I went for a walk behind the temple, and when I walked a bit far, I saw a man by the stream holding a child and crying, he said that the child had fallen into the water and drowned. I saw that the child was pale and had lost his breath, and agreed that he must be dead.

“At that moment there came an old man, who looked at the child and said that it was only shut up, and that he could save it. He laid the child on his back on the ground and blew on him mouth to mouth. The child’s father was furious and scolded the old man, and hit and pulled at him. The old man was not moved and insisted on crawling on the child and blowing on him. Half a quarter of an hour later, the child really moved. The old man pressed on his chest and stomach for a while more, and that child came to life.

“I thought that old man was particularly powerful, so I asked him to treat Meng Shizi’s eyes, and said that the Cheng Guo Gongfu had money and would give him a high price. But as soon as he heard that he was treating the son of the Duke of Cheng, he was reluctant, saying that he had taken a poisonous oath that he would not treat the officials and their families of the Jin and Dynasty ……

“When I saw that he was leaving, I went to stop him. He got upset and said that it was disrespectful for a young lady to stop a man so hard. I was in a difficult situation when he saw the pendant around my neck. He asked me who Jiang Hao was, and I said it was my old ancestor. He contemplated for a moment and then said he could teach me to heal on the condition that he exchanged this pendant.

“This pendant was passed down from my high ancestor to my father before he died, and then brought back by Meng Shizi from the border to my brother, it is an heirloom of our family. I asked for it to hang around my neck because I had to copy the sutras for my father, and my brother happened to be sick at the time and couldn’t go to the temple, so I couldn’t give it away. Asked him in addition to this pendant, what else can be exchanged, but he said he only want the pendant, and said his grandfather and my old ancestors have a connection.

“Although I couldn’t give it up, I thought that when my father saved Meng Shizi, he must have felt that Meng Shizi was worth protecting with his life, and he also hoped that Meng Shizi would kill the enemy for him and fulfill his unfinished ambition. My father would be willing to exchange this pendant for Meng Shizi’s eyes. I agreed. He rented the house next door to mine, and I went to his place every night to learn medicine while the girl was asleep.

“After a total of twenty-one days of study, it was time for me to return to the house. Master said that I was gifted, and that what other people don’t necessarily learn to remember in a year of study, I learned to remember in twenty days of study. When he left, he returned the pendant to me, saying that he could not take back what his mother had given away. He also told me not to tell others that I had learned medicine from him, it would not be good for me. Regardless of whether or not I can cure Meng Shizi’s illness, I have to ask Old Master and Meng Shizi to keep this matter a secret for me.”

These words, a small part of them were indeed what happened in this life, that is, when they went to Guanghe Temple to copy the sutra at the beginning of February, it happened that Jiang Xun was sick and gave the pendant to Jiang Yishi. Old Divine Doctor Shen wanted the pendant and to save a child from falling into the water, but it was in her previous life, and the old Divine Doctor had said that her learning for one year would be worth ten years of other people’s learning.

The old Duke’s eyes had become more and more eager and said, “Don’t worry, little Miss Jiang, I will keep it a secret.” He also asked, “Is that pendant a tiger head? At the beginning of my dynasty, the Shen family did have a connection with the Jiang family.”

Jiang Yishi took the pendant down and held it in her palm, “In order to convince Grandfather Meng, I brought the pendant with me.”

The old Duke took the pendant and looked at it, and said in realization, “This is it. When the former dynasty was defeated, Old General Shen and a dozen of his children and grandchildren committed suicide to survive with the court, and all the family members of the former generals also died under the sword. Your family’s old ancestor, however, privately released Shen old general a pregnant grandson-in-law, and then went to see the Taizu Emperor to ask for punishment, saying that the Shen family had once been kind to him, to kill or cut him to receive punishment.

“Although Emperor Taizu angry but love talent, and respect Jiang old senior remembered grace, did not kill him. However, the reward to him from the Duke of the country down to the uncle. I heard that the Shen family daughter-in-law sent Jiang old-timer a token when she left. Said that all descendants of the Shen family, as long as they see this token must repay the favor.”

After saying that, the old Duke returned the little tiger head to Jiang Yishi.

It turned out to be such a cause, and it was the first time Jiang Yishi had heard of it.

Elder Duke Meng completely believed Jiang Yishi’s words. It must have been Old Divine Doctor Shen who came to the capital and taught Little Miss Jiang the medical art of curing eyes because of this pendant. This child was exquisite and learned it in such a short period of time. Regardless of whether or not the little girl had really learned it, she had to let Resignation Mo give it a try.

“Good child, thank you for being willing to exchange the heirloom of the Jiang family for the medical skill of curing eyes ……”

Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion in the side room.

“Who?” He asked with a sideways glance.

Jiang Yishi also turned around to look.

A little later, a young man came out from the side room.

This man was wearing a broad-sleeved stone green straightjacket, with a long, elegant figure, his thin, angular lips were like glazed light pink porcelain, except that his eyes were empty and lifeless, and his eyebrows were tightly locked in surprise.

This was exactly the Meng Zhimo that Jiang Yishi had seen three times in her previous life and dreamed of countless times in her previous life.

He was still so cold and so heartbreaking.

Jiang Yishi stood up at once and stared at him blankly.

Meng Zhimo saw a girl standing in front of him, he couldn’t see what the girl looked like, he only felt that she was very thin and was wearing a similar red dress.

He blushed a little, just now he didn’t mean to eavesdrop on his grandfather and the girl’s conversation. Rather, he really stayed bored and ran to the side room of the outer study to listen to the birds, who knew that he fell asleep while listening.

By the time grandfather and Miss Jiang’s conversation woke him up, he was already too embarrassed to go out. Then later heard them talk about his eyes, Jiang girl met Shen old god doctor, actually used the Jiang family heirloom in exchange for the treatment of eye disease method ……

He was really surprised and moved, not paying attention to make a commotion.

Being discovered, he only had to come out.

He asked, “Can Second Miss Jiang really cure my eyes?”

The voice was clear, carrying a bit more excitement and warmth than in his previous life.

Jiang Yishi instantly came to her senses. This is the first time he has seen Meng Ruimo, he and himself have not been “caught in adultery”…… his behavior will make people suspicious.

Fortunately, Meng Ruimo’s eyes can not see, fortunately, Meng husband master did not see her expression.

She forced down the waves of horror in her heart, slowed down the tense facial expression, gave Meng Ruimo bent his knees and smiled, “Meng Shizi, I did get my master’s true heritage. But whether it works or not, I have to try it to know.”

Due to his excitement, his voice was shaking a bit.
