Chapter 4, Life is Movement

"Meng Yandou boldly asks, how old is Miss Yu now?"

Has Doctor Xu written the prescription

Indeed, before Meng Yan could close his mouth, the clever little girl Hong had already turned into a rosy complexion.

After a night of heavy snowfall, although it has stopped in the morning, the snow in the yard has already accumulated to nearly one foot high, and the sky remains overcast.

It is difficult to express in a few words

Is it true?" Xiao Hong exclaimed with great surprise

What he said makes sense, but it is not absolute. Although Miss Yu has a heart condition, the union of this couple, the wedding night, is still possible... Meng Yan suddenly realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate for children, as Xiao Hong was still an innocent young girl, and there were some things that could not be said

The young lady has always wanted to lead a normal life as a girl, to get married, to have children, to support her husband and educate her children. When she learned that she could not get married, she became completely disheartened, " Xiao Hong explained.

"Good!" Uncle Fu readily agreed.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can provide auxiliary treatment for patients both before and after surgery, which aids in the rapid recovery of the patient's body

It's alright, we can be flexible, go out more often, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy a pleasant mood; this will also be beneficial for the young lady's condition

Moreover, she did not want to put Uncle Fu and Xiao Hong in a difficult position, as they would be the first to suffer if something were to happen to her

Life lies in movement, Mr. Meng's words are always thought-provoking! Yu Xin's eyes brightened, and after careful contemplation, she exclaimed in admiration

"Who said that?" Meng Yan asked curiously

Meng Yan nodded to indicate understanding

I had never seen this man shed a tear, thinking he was made of ice. Only that one time, when he sent himself off, did he glance back and I saw the action of this tough man turning away to wipe his tears

I forgot that Mr. Meng is a person with stories, haha, if you don't mind, why not have a chat with Yu Fu

After a ten-year absence, the capital has become somewhat blurred in Meng Yan's memory, along with that home, that siheyuan, and that man who was particularly strict and unsmiling towards him in his recollections

Miss Yu flattered him! Meng Yan, feeling a bit embarrassed, touched his nose and suggested going out for a walk, which was certainly for Yu Xin, but he also had his own intentions.

Listening to Mr. Meng's accent, is he also a person from the capital city

Without instruments, Meng Yan also finds it difficult to determine the exact cause of Yu Xin's heart condition. Congenital diseases are generally difficult to cure after they have developed. Some do not affect daily life, while others require surgical intervention for treatment

Indeed, daily life no longer requires special care from others

Indeed, the heavens are not favorable; I fear there will be another snowfall in the afternoon. Although Wanping is not far from the capital, once the snow falls and heavy snow blocks the roads, it becomes uncertain when we will be able to return to the capital

However, Mr. Meng, the young lady's illness...

Yes, but it has been many years since I last returned home. Meng Yan's expression showed a hint of loneliness; it seems that he may never return to his home again. I wonder what a home looks like in this era now.

So it is! Yu Xin herself has become a good doctor through long illness, and she usually reads mostly medical books.

"Do you have the prescription from before? I mean the one from when you first discovered this illness and started taking medication?" Meng Yan said

A father's love is as steadfast as a mountain. From that moment on, Meng Yan told himself that no matter what, he would return, return to the Ming Dynasty, return to his father's side

"Uncle Fu, our conversation must not be disclosed to anyone for the time being, including Miss Hong. We will discuss it again after the doctor has taken your pulse," Meng Yan reminded.

"Uncle Fu, you must not say that!" Meng Yan gently shook his head

"Uncle Fu, I feel a bit stuffy in the house, let's go out for some fresh air!" Yu Xin smiled slightly and explained

"You are responsible, can you bear this responsibility?" Uncle Fu said to himself, but when he thought that Yu Xin only had six months left to live, if he were to insist on stopping her, would that not be too cruel?

"Let's leave it for today. Miss Yu needs to rest now. Tomorrow will do, after all, this illness is not urgent!" Meng Yan should also take some time to think it over. If he can help Yu Xin, it would be a way to repay her for saving his life.

"Mr. Fu, if you do not believe it, you can ask a doctor to examine the young lady's pulse immediately and see what he has to say," Meng Yan said.

As a soldier with an exceptionally punctual biological clock, Meng Yan has always been an early riser and has never had the habit of sleeping in

"If I don't say, and you don't say, and none of the four of us say anything, how would your family head know?" Meng Yan said

Yes.

This is difficult to say, and there are no absolutes. The younger the age, the easier it is to treat, as the two developmental stages of the human body are the optimal periods for treating congenital diseases

"Uncle Fu, I will tell my story later, but Miss's condition cannot be delayed!" Meng Yan said solemnly

Miss Yu, Uncle Fu and I would like to go out for a stroll and see if there are any good places to eat and have fun. You and Miss Xiao Hong should come along as well

"Mr. Meng, could it be..." Uncle Fu was taken aback, his face turning pale, "Mr. Meng, please don't scare me"

"This ... ..." Uncle Fu hesitated

This is too much, I can hardly remember it! Yu Xin frowned slightly, as it seemed that no doctor had ever asked for this during her previous medical visits.

Is that true? A hint of surprise appeared in Yu Xin's eyes. She had long wanted to go out for a walk and clear her mind, but due to her health, she was afraid of tiring herself out, and both Uncle Fu and Xiao Hong did not allow her to go out.

"Mr. Meng, the young lady's illness means she cannot get married!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong suddenly felt her eyes welling up with tears.

This head of mine is worth quite a lot of money

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Dr. Xu came out, shaking his head and sighing as he left, without collecting a single penny in consultation fees

"Going out for a walk is beneficial for the body. It is essential to know that life lies in movement!" Meng Yan said with a smile.

Yu Xin is seventeen after the New Year! When asked about her age, an uncontrollable blush appeared on Yu Xin's pale face.

"What, half a year?" Uncle Fu still couldn't believe it

"Miss, how did you come out?" Seeing Xiao Hong supporting Yu Xin as they walked out of the room, Uncle Fu was taken aback

Yes, but the premise is that Miss Yu can find a husband who loves and understands her; otherwise, it would be better not to marry at all. Meng Yan spoke frankly, as he did not want to give someone hope only to crush that hope himself, as that would be too cruel

Regarding Miss Yu's condition, Uncle Fu, I would like to speak with you privately

"Mr. Fu, Miss Yu has this old habit. Compared to her usual days, she must have been cooped up at home and rarely goes out, right?" Meng Yan inquired.

Mr. Meng ... ... Uncle Fu wanted to persuade him further, but upon seeing Yu Xin's face filled with eager joy, and recalling that Yu Xin had not smiled like this in a long time, his heart ached.

Mr. Meng appears to be quite young, how...

In this era, human life truly seems to be of little value; how then should one live on?

What to change?

"Uncle Fu, don't worry, I will take responsibility if anything happens!" Meng Yan said solemnly

"Mr. Meng, why have you stopped speaking?" In the interest of the young lady's lifelong happiness, Xiao Hong suppressed her shyness and curiously asked.

Little Red Girl, what are you doing...

Miss Yu, your current attire is not suitable; you need to change into something else! Meng Yan said with a smile.

Meng Yan is recovering quickly, thanks to his young body, which is full of vitality, allowing his injuries to heal rapidly

Some things cannot be stated explicitly; as long as one understands in their heart, that is sufficient. In any case, nothing is absolute. Miss Yu can get married and even have children without any issues; however, the risks involved are somewhat greater than those for ordinary people. Meng Yan thought for a moment and patiently explained.

So it is Miss Hong, please come in!

Mr. Meng, thank you! Little Hong bowed deeply to Meng Yan

Good morning, Uncle Fu

Uncle Fu hurriedly left and, in less than half an hour, brought in an elderly doctor in his sixties, the most renowned physician in Wanping City, Xu Yiping

I do not know how to face that man, after all, the true soul of Meng Yan has already perished, and he has merely inherited his body and memories

Uncle Fu

I, am I also going with you?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xin was greatly surprised. She had always stayed at home, never stepping out of the front door or the second door. This time, it was only because there was no other choice that she personally made the trip out of the capital. However, generally speaking, whenever she arrived at a place, she would quietly stay in the inn and rarely go out.

Then shall I transcribe it and hand it over to Mr. Meng

Mr. Meng, you have indeed spoken the truth. Doctor Xu said that the young lady's lifespan is nearing its end, and even with medication, it can only maintain her physical condition without deterioration! Uncle Fu came to see Meng Yan almost in tears.

"Uncle Fu, please do not say that. Miss Yu has saved my life, and I will do everything in my power to help her with her illness," Meng Yan said as he stepped forward to assist.

Alright, then go ahead

Once fully developed, the effectiveness of many medical interventions diminishes significantly

But this time, he may have truly been too tired, sleeping until someone outside the door called him, at which point he finally opened his eyes

This is also the obsession of the deceased Meng Yan, which has profoundly influenced Meng Yan's current emotions and feelings

However, after days of evading pursuit, his physical potential has been pushed to its limit, and at this moment, he is still very weak

Of course, this does not mean that the danger has been eliminated; in fact, he is well aware that those individuals will not easily give up

That man has another identity: father

"Mr. Meng, are you up?" Uncle Fu turned his head to look, quite surprised, as he had thought that Meng Yan would at least have to lie in bed for a day or two.

"I am not trying to scare you, but according to my calculations, Miss Yu has at most six months left to live!" Meng Yan sighed deeply.

After reviewing Doctor Wen's prescription, Doctor Xu remarked that his prescription was inferior to this one, hence he did not issue a prescription

Is it possible to cure it

"Mr. Meng, why not speak directly to the young lady?" Uncle Fu said in surprise

Seventeen! Meng Yan nodded.

"Please, Mr. Meng, save our young lady!" Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu immediately clasped his hands in a salute and bowed deeply.

So it is. Meng Yan nodded in understanding; for a girl, not being able to marry or become a mother is indeed a form of cruelty, especially in this era, where even the most noble of women are no exception

Alright, I will go and fetch the doctor right away, " Mr. Fu said anxiously

"Who would be able to recognize me if I change into men's clothing?" Meng Yan said

It is evident that this has already affected life; if medication had been used for adjustment during childhood, it could have achieved very good results

Mr. Meng, the young lady instructed me to have you bring over the washing water!" Xiao Hong was holding a copper basin, which contained approximately half a basin of hot water, along with a towel

She has also done the same; otherwise, it would not have been possible for her to survive until now. However, the treatment results have not been as ideal.

"Mr. Meng, the young lady has not yet come of age..." Uncle Fu exclaimed in surprise

Mr. Meng stated that it is indeed not advisable for the young lady to move about, and moreover, as the esteemed daughter of a prominent family, it is also inappropriate for her to be seen in public, especially since she has not yet been married

Mr. Meng, Mr. Meng, have you gotten up?

If this is done, the master will surely be furious! Just thinking of his own strict and upright master made Uncle Fu feel a surge of fear.

He thought for a long time until he fell into a deep sleep

On the way to pursue, Meng Yan slept so soundly for the first time.

Men's clothing

What Doctor Wen said

"Uncle Fu, I would like to take Miss Yu out for a walk," Meng Yan said

Meng Yan hurriedly reached out to take it: "Miss Yu is so thoughtful; whoever marries her will be truly fortunate"

Uncle Fu stood in the yard, holding a smoking pipe in his hand, puffing on the dry tobacco with a huff and a puff. From time to time, he furrowed his brow and glanced up at the sky, then let out a sigh.

"It doesn't matter, just give me as much as you can remember. Miss Yu has been taking medication for a long time, and her body has developed a resistance to some of the drugs. If I use them again, they may not be effective anymore," Meng Yan explained

"You are up, Uncle Fu, are you looking at the sky?"
