Chapter 730: 194: Go to Ni Family _1

Like.

Very much alike.

Even though he can’t pinpoint who exactly this child resembles, the old man immediately thought of his daughter who has been missing for many years.

Indeed, this old man is Zheng Jun, the patriarch of the Zheng family.

Lately, the old man has been feeling his health deteriorating by the day, hence he no longer stays in his room all day as he did before.

He hoped to find his only daughter, to lay eyes on her one more time before his departure.

Whether she’s alive or dead, he wished to receive some news.

If the unfortunate really happened… he wanted to offer incense at his daughter’s grave.

“My name is Ni Yang. Ni as in a single person, and Yang as in producing smoke from warming jade in the sun.” For reasons unknown, Ni Yang felt an inexplicable closeness upon seeing Old Master Zheng.

Old Master Zheng was not a man of many words and would hardly speak a word to Zheng Xianjing in half a month. However, today, he couldn’t help but introduce himself to Ni Yang, “My surname is Zheng. I’m called Zheng Jun. Zheng as in ‘cover the ears’, Jun as in ‘a critical moment’.”

“Grandpa Zheng, just call me Yangyang.” Ni Yang continued, “By the way, did you injure your foot?”

Speaking of which, Old Master Zheng responded with a painful smile, “I was just chasing a thief. Who knew that I wouldn’t catch the thief, but instead sprain my own leg.”

“Is it this foot?” Ni Yang crouched down halfway.

Old Master Zheng nodded.

“Let me take a look.”

Today, the snow had melted, leaving a lot of muddy water on Old Master Zheng’s shoes, but Ni Yang didn’t mind the dirt, directly taking off his shoes, “It seems slightly displaced, let me reset it for you. It might hurt a little, try to bear with it.”

“Okay,” Old Master Zheng nodded, “Thanks, Yangyang.”

While talking to Old Master Zheng, Ni Yang was also diverting his attention.

“Crack.”

The intense pain makes Old Master Zheng turn pale. Ni Yang stood up from the ground, “Grandpa Zheng, try standing up.”

Old Master Zheng got up from the steps, tried to walk a few steps, and said in surprise, “It doesn’t hurt anymore! Not at all! Yangyang, you are really amazing!”

Unconsciously, Old Master Zheng didn’t realize that he’s been speaking more and his typically serious face had also broken into many smiles.

Ni Yang smiled, “It’s just a little trick.”

“Yangyang, did you inherit this Traditional Chinese Medicine practice from your ancestors?” Old Master Zheng asked.

Ni Yang shook her head, “I have a master.”

Old Master Zheng said, “Then your master must be a hermit. How old are you, Yangyang?”

“Nineteen.” She was seventeen when she first came to Beijing, and time flew by so quickly that it’s already been two years.

Old Master Zheng nodded, “Yangyang, judging from your accent, you don’t seem to be from Beijing.”

“Yes, I’m from Haicheng. I came to Beijing two years ago.” Ni Yang said.

Haicheng.

Haicheng is still over two thousand kilometers away from the place where Zheng Tingting went missing years ago.

Old Master Zheng’s eyes dimmed a bit.

Ni Yang continued, “Grandpa Zheng, I notice you have swollen eyes and faint dark circles. Are you having trouble sleeping recently?”

“I’m old, not as good as before.” Old Master Zheng sighed.

Ni Yang took out a light blue sachet from her bag, “This is for you.”

“What is this?” Old Master Zheng was puzzled.

Ni Yang continued, “This is a sachet made of medicinal herbs which can improve sleep. You can try using it.”

Old Master Zheng reached out and took it. There was indeed a faint medicinal smell lingering on the sachet.

“How much does it cost?” Old Master Zheng continued, “And also for earlier when you helped reset my bone.”

Money is the best way to express gratitude in this world.

And other than money, Old Master Zheng couldn’t find any other way.

Ni Yang smiled, “Helping you with the bone reset was just a small effort, and this sachet is not worth much. You could look at as me promoting the virtues of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

The upbringing of this child was too good.

Also, the feeling she gave, was not like that of a nineteen-year-old girl at all, there was a sense of time weathering all things about her.

Old Master Zheng, who had seen numerous people in his life, this was the first time he had seen such a gifted young girl.

“Traditional Chinese Medicine has been inherited for thousands of years, it’s a pity that Western Medicine has been in the limelight in the recent years and Traditional Chinese Medicine is gradually falling behind. Yangyang, you’re so young yet your medical skills are so good, that’s too rare.” Old Master Zheng received an old-style education in his youth, so he always held Traditional Chinese Medicine in high regard.

Unfortunately, in this rising age, people have gradually forgotten about Traditional Chinese Medicine.

“By the way, Yangyang, my wife has been unwell recently, suffering from a persistent cough. Would you be willing to make a house visit if I wanted to engage your services?” Old Master Zheng asked.
