It was an old man in his 60s. His grey clothes were covered in mud, and he looked to be travel-worn; however, he still looked alert.
He greeted Feng Yu Heng with his hands behind his back and looked at Xuan Tian Ming without being haughty or humble. He had a kind expression; however, there was an endless wisdom in his eyes.
Feng Yu Heng was dazed almost instantly upon seeing this person. While she was dazed, the memories of the body's original owner instantly merged with her soul. The two figures constantly collided. They had the same appearance and the same figure. One wore an ancient grey robe, and one wore a traditional mandarin jacket. One held the body's original owner as a child and taught her about ancient medicine, while the other held the modern her and taught her about Chinese and Western medicine starting from the age of six.
The maternal grandfather of the body's original owner, Yao Xian, and her own paternal grandfather, Feng Yin.
Feng Yu Heng partially kneeled on the ground and was a little stunned. The words "paternal grandfather" were stuck in her throat. Saying it would not be right, but not saying it would also not be right.
Thinking a little more, she should have prepared herself for this outcome when she had seen Yao shi's face. Unfortunately, Yao shi was the mother of the body's original owner, thus the one in front of her was the maternal grandfather of the body's original owner.
A trace of disappointment appeared on her face, and she held the needle in the hand a little tighter. Standing up from the ground, she calmly called the person in front of her: "Maternal grandfather."
But there was still a trace of joy in her eyes because the memories related to this maternal grandfather, Yao Xian, were too vivid. Practically all of the body's original owner's best memories were related to Yao Xian. Also, Yao Xian had the title of divine doctor. Even after she had come to this era, she did not hear it just once or twice. But there was still a small knot in the original owner's heart that stemmed from when she was sent to the Northwest with her mother. The Yao family had treated her so well, so why did they not save her? Why did they not take her away? Even if they had to live in Huang Zhou together, she would be happy.
In regards to this point, Feng Yu Heng did not have any complaints. After all, Yao shi had been demoted for a crime. When he was in a tough position to even protect himself, what power did he have to find them? Even if they were found and taken away, as a family of convicted officials, if anything had happened, would the three of them not have been implicated? Although the original owner did not have a happy ending, this was not something that could be placed on Yao Xian.
Xuan Tian Ming stood up and moved to Feng Yu Heng's side. He stared at the divine doctor that he had not seen for many years and felt that this person looked much healthier than when he had left the capital. The years did not leave too many marks on his face. Aside from his hair turning whiter, Yao Xian was the same as he was back then. In fact, he looked to be in even better spirits than back then.
"Your Highness." Yao Xian cupped his hands and greeted him, "Long time no see."
Xuan Tian Ming nodded, "Mister has come just in time. The heavy rain has just ended, and an epidemic has started. Heng Heng was just saying that she could not handle it on her own. Mister is a divine doctor. With you here, this prince is at ease."
Yao Xian was not too courteous and just nodded. Glancing once more at Feng Yu Heng, it seemed as though he wanted to say something; however, he turned his gaze to the collapsed Song Kang.
"With the dissipation of the cold and the appearance of heat, it will very quickly become just hot with not cold, and his head and body will ache." While saying this, he squatted down and held a handkerchief in his hand to open Song Kang's mouth, "The coating of his tongue is white like powder, when the tongue should naturally be red." He then went to check his pulse, "The pulse is inconsistent and rapid. They're the preliminary signs of an epidemic."
