Chapter 0005: Aunt Thirteen and Confusion

From the memories of the original owner and from Yacasuo's own knowledge, he is well aware that the financial situation of Baozhilin is not prosperous. Most of the income is funneled into the bottomless pit of the militia, making life difficult for the cheap masters and their apprentices, which can be described as being in a tight spot.

Lin Sha chuckled modestly for a moment, then pointed to several addresses recorded on the paper, along with the patient's condition, as well as his preliminary diagnosis and treatment plan, casting an apologetic glance at the affordable master.

This is also something that confuses him greatly; the identity of the esteemed master Huang Feihong is not simple. He is not only the owner of Baozhilin and a renowned martial artist in Foshan, but also the famous chief instructor of the Black Flag Army, as well as the chief coach of the Foshan militia.

Liu Yongfu led the main force of the Black Flag Army to fight vigorously, inflicting several significant defeats on the French within Annam, making him a thorn in the side of the French.

Lin Sha and Ya Ca Su were astonished to discover that behind their master was a beautiful lady in a Western dress, adorned in a complexly patterned white gown, wearing a flowered hat and smiling modestly at the two of them.

Hehe, as long as the master does not hold it against me, by the way...

Huang Feihong did not rush to respond; a look of difficulty appeared on his handsome face. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Let's wait until we see him tomorrow morning. For now, let him train with the militia. Once he becomes familiar, we can make plans then."

Lin Sha's heart stirred, and a familiar name immediately flashed through her mind

Master, these few individuals require you to personally visit them for a consultation. I have noted down their current addresses!

Huang Feihong inquired about the situation at Baozhilin today. Upon learning that everything was well and no unexpected circumstances had arisen, he reviewed the medical cases diagnosed by Lin Sha and found no errors or omissions. Satisfied, he praised Lin Sha profusely.

Lin Sha observed the nose with his eyes and the heart with his mind, without squinting. First, he invited the esteemed Master Huang Feihong to take the seat of honor in the main hall, and then he invited the elegantly dressed beauty, Miss Shisan, to take the guest seat. He then served tea and poured water with great attentiveness, while Yacasu clumsily assisted him from the side

Huang Feihong was very pleased with Lin Sha's meticulous performance and did not blame Lin Sha for taking unnecessary actions

Immediately afterwards, he turned around gracefully and briefly introduced Lin Sha and Ya Ca Su to the beautiful woman, succinctly stating that both of these young men were his disciples

Because the majority of the Black Flag Army was ordered to be dispatched to Annam to assist the Kingdom of Annam in resisting the invasion of the French

Especially the Grand Commander of the Black Flag Army, a position that is far from simple

Thus, whenever the brothers of the militia faced genuine difficulties at home, the master would take money from the Baozhilin to provide assistance. Over time, as the number of people increased, the situation naturally worsened.

However, the problem arises: in Lin Sha's eyes, the inexpensive master Huang Feihong possesses a vast array of resources. Although he is not the head of the militia, his prestige within the militia is such that even the head must show him some deference.

However, the final outcome was that the lives of the militia, transformed from the Black Flag Army's naval brothers, were filled with hardship. Baozhilin was also affected and could not expand its operations. At the same time, the affordable master Huang Feihong was constantly troubled by financial issues

It is entirely up to the master to decide

Lin Sha maintained a proper demeanor as a disciple, yet showed no sign of fear. He respected Huang Feihong, the virtuous martial arts master of the late Qing Dynasty, but did not idolize him blindly. In both his actions and his perspective on issues, he exhibited a rationality and realism that one would expect from a modern individual

Asha, you have done well. Tomorrow, I will personally come to provide a diagnosis for each case

As the chief instructor of the Black Flag Army and also the head coach of the Foshan Town Militia, Liu Yongfu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, entrusted all the hundreds of young and strong brothers of the disbanded Black Flag Army Navy to his apprentice, Huang Feihong, for arrangement at the time of his departure

Master, you have returned!

Hello, Thirteenth Aunt! After Master Huang Feihong's introduction was completed, Lin Sha and Ya Ca Su hurriedly stepped forward to respectfully greet her

Seizing the opportunity of the harmonious atmosphere, he hurriedly mentioned to his inexpensive master about Liang Kuan's intention to seek apprenticeship.

Huang Feihong was clearly in a good mood, merely smiling and nodding without noticing the differences in Lin Sha's appearance, he waved his hand and stepped aside to make room.

Hello to you all, no need to be polite! A gentle smile appeared on the exquisite face of Aunt Thirteen, her voice crisp and melodious, pleasing to the ears, and as she approached, a faint and pleasant fragrance lingered in the air.

Ironically, the court not only sought to use Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army to create trouble for the French, but also took great care to guard against this armed force, which had been transformed from the rebel forces of the Tiandihui into a militia. While a large portion of the Black Flag Army's ground forces was being redeployed to Annam, the naval forces of the Black Flag Army were simultaneously disbanded.

The frugal master Huang Feihong is a person of deep loyalty and righteousness. After the main force of the Black Flag Army departed, he promptly arranged for over a hundred brothers from the navy to join the local militia in Foshan Town, exercising together every morning.

The identity of the clinic owner is naturally not significant, and the title of a famous martial artist from Foshan can only intimidate petty criminals, preventing harassment and exploitation by gangs. However, the identities of the last two coaches are quite remarkable.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the sky outside had darkened. Without needing Lin Sha to take action, Ya Ca Su obediently lit the oil lamp. Although the light was dim, it did not hinder the conversation and casual chatter.

Lin Sha had little reaction to this. Although he found it strange that Liang Kuan's apprenticeship might not go smoothly, it had nothing to do with him. He had already agreed to help convey the message, so that was enough.

It is well known that the militia is not a formally organized armed force established by the court, but rather a paramilitary organization formed by local gentry to maintain local peace and deter petty criminals. It is under the dual leadership of gentry influence and the government, and its funding is primarily raised locally.

Come, let me introduce you!

Moreover, the beautiful and stunning Miss Shi San has an ambiguous relationship with the inexpensive master Huang Feihong, and he would not be as oblivious and reckless in his thoughts as the later Liang Kuan

Indeed, the inexpensive master Huang Feihong introduced with a smile in his eyes: "This is Thirteen Aunty, who has just returned to the country from England with her family today. You will have many opportunities to meet in the future, so you must not be disrespectful!"

It was only when the evening glow painted the horizon and the night was about to descend that Huang Feihong returned to Baozhilin with a beaming smile on his face

The militia in Foshan is not a massive force like the Xiang Army or the Huai Army; each militia member receives very little in terms of rations and must seek additional sources of income to barely support their families, making life extremely difficult

After a day of adjustment and familiarization, Lin Sha could not claim to be a perfect match with the original body, but achieving an eighty percent compatibility was certainly within reach. Upon meeting Huang Feihong, he hurriedly approached to pay his respects as per his usual custom

According to Lin Sha's thoughts, with the support of the Foshan community organizations behind, it is not difficult to earn a substantial amount of money as long as one makes appropriate use of it, and it is indeed the most legitimate way to make money

Uncertain about the situation with Yacas, Lin Sha harbored no ill intentions in his heart. Thirteenth Aunt was indeed beautiful, her fashionable attire was quite eye-catching in this era, but that did not mean Lin Sha would be dazzled by her. Having encountered numerous beauties in later years, he had long since developed immunity to such allure.

Yes
