Chapter 431 (four hundred and thirty-one) medicine mortar
In the autumn when Zuo Youqun was twenty-four years old, in the dusk rain, her elder sister Zuo Youtang, a doctor, was taken away from the Tiecang tribe by a woman named Qiao Guangchong. Before she left, she understood that this departure would make her and Zuo Youqun It was an eternal farewell, because the doctor who was taken away by Qiao Guangchong never returned. Before she got on the carriage, she saw a group of people on the left with tears in their eyes. She smiled and said to him: "I'm just going to study medicine, what's there to be sad about? You're such an adult, don't be like a child! I'm leaving, take care of yourself!" When it gets colder, put on more clothes." After saying that, she turned around and got into Qiao Guangchong's carriage.
The drizzle suddenly turned into a downpour, hitting the ground with violent cracks.
Zuo Youqun shouted in the rain: "Sister, if you leave, your home will disappear! I don't know where you are going, but I will definitely look for you in the future. I will go home sooner or later!"
Zuo Youtang heard Zuo Youqun's shout and didn't even look back at Zuo Youqun. He just cried silently on the carriage.
The carriage drifted away in the heavy rain.
Zuo Youqun wiped his eyes with his hands, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't given her the birthday gift he had prepared for her in advance, so he chased after her desperately, shouting while chasing: "Wait a minute! Sister, the birthday gift hasn't been given to her yet. You!”
Unless he stopped the carriage at this time and asked the people on the carriage to wait for him to go back and get the gift, otherwise, it would be useless even if he caught up, because he did not bring the gift. However, he obviously couldn't catch up with the carriage, and soon the carriage disappeared from his sight.
Zuo Youqun returned to the place he felt was no longer home in the rain, and stared blankly at the birthday gift he had prepared for Zuo Youtang in advance.
The gift was a small stone medicine mortar. It was Zuo Youtang's birthday in a few days. He had planned to give it to her on her birthday, but Zuo Youtang left before her birthday.
Zuo Youtang is fourteen years older than Zuo Youqun. As early as when Zuo Youqun was one year old, their parents were framed while practicing medicine, wrongfully accused of intentional homicide, and executed. Fifteen-year-old Zuo Youtang took Zuo Youqun to a place where no one knew about their parents' situation, and practiced medicine to make a living. Zuo Youqun was raised by Zuo Youtang. Zuo Youtang has been practicing medicine with her parents since she was a child. She especially likes a stone medicine mortar and never wants to use it. She always puts the stone medicine mortar in a separate place and separates it from other medicine mortars. Later, the medicine mortar was lost by Zuo Youqun, who was still young. Zuo Youqun gave her medicine mortars several times when she grew up, but after all, they were never the original ones.
Many years later, Zuo Youqun saw the medicine mortar he had lost when he was a child at the market. He bought it in surprise and planned to give it to Zuo Youtang on her birthday, but she had not seen the medicine mortar yet. He had already boarded Qiao Guangchong's carriage.
Qiao Guangchong has great martial arts skills and dominates one place, but he has been poisoned. The poison won't kill people, but it will make people suffer for a long time. When the poison takes effect, she may kill people at will. Over the years, she would bring back a doctor every once in a while to study detoxification methods for her. No one knew where those people were taken, and the doctor she took away never returned.
The person who helped her find a doctor was Qiao Anbo, Qiao Guangchong's brother.
At that time, after Qiao Anbo learned that Zuo Youqun had given Tiewandao the wrong medicine, he went to Zuo Youtang and said that if she did not leave with Qiao Guangchong, he would tell her brother Zuo Youqun that there was a mistake in the medicine he gave Tiewandao. If the matter is told, her brother will die without a burial place. (End of chapter)
