“What’s wrong? Why are you here?” Ning Yue asked.
“I was picking herbs and fell. I fainted and was saved by you.” This person who called himself a little old man was very concise, making Ning Yue not know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Ning Guang pointed at the little old man and shouted, “Granddad Deity!”
Grandpa?
Ning Guang called him grandfather. How senior was this person?
At this moment, the little old man turned to look at Ning Guang.
“Oh, it’s you, silly child,” the little old man said, stroking his graying beard.
Seeing this, Ning Yue tried her best to recall the Host’s memories, but she realized that she had no impression of this little old man at all.
“Who are you?” Ning Yue asked warily.
“Gu Yu.” The little old man stroked his beard and gave his name.
Gu Yu? Ning Yue frowned. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before. It felt like a distant memory. She had seen this person at the General’s residence or heard of this name.
Ning Yue couldn’t remember, but Old Master Ning did. He stood up in shock.
He reached out to grab Gu Yu’s hand, but he was worried that his hand was dirty so he pulled it back.
“You, you’re Divine Doctor Gu?” Old Master Ning asked happily.
This was a big shot. Even if he had traveled all over the world, he had never seen many big shots!
“Exactly.” Gu Yu narrowed his eyes. He was enjoying this.
At this moment, Ning Yue also recalled the child she had saved on the way. At that time, the adults with the child had mentioned an old divine doctor.
Could it be that the old divine doctor they were talking about was this unknown old man in front of them?
As Ning Yue sized up Gu Yu, he was also looking at her.
He frowned. He had a feeling that this face was familiar. He thought about how he used to practice medicine from time to time. He might have seen it then, but on second thought, that was unlikely. If he had only seen it as a doctor, how could he remember it so ‘deeply’?
He couldn’t help but ask, “Lady, have I seen you before?”
“I’ve never seen you,” Ning Yue said.
Gu Yu pursed his lips. He was a little annoyed that he couldn’t get the answer he wanted. He just wanted an answer, but he could tell that although the girl was a farmer and young, her eyes revealed the cunning of a fox.
She was shrewd!
He probably wouldn’t be able to get anything out of her.
No, he had to come up with a way.
“Ouch!” Gu Yu suddenly shouted, hugging his feet. “My feet hurt, my legs hurt, and my head hurts. Everywhere. Quick! Heal me!”
Ning Yue rolled her eyes at Gu Yu. “You’re an old divine doctor. This pain can’t hurt you.”
“It’s a rare chance! My hand is also injured. You have to treat me first. This big sister knows how to treat illnesses. Please treat me.”
Old Madam Ning did not know what this old divine doctor was up to. However, since there was a patient and she happened to know how to treat him, she would not reject the patient.
“Yueyue, bring some herbs over.” Old Madam Ning instructed Ning Yue to bandage Gu Yu’s hand.
“The young lady knows medicine?” Gu Yu’s eyes widened. This young lady’s dressing skills were not inferior to his.
“No, I’ve just been by Grandma’s side since I was young. I only know how to do it because Grandma does it too much.” Ning Yue casually lied. This explanation was the most reasonable.
After he was bandaged, she washed her hands with a little water.
They were in the mountains now, and there was no shortage of water. It would be no problem for them to wash their hands.
When she was done, she got another water bag and asked for water.
Gu Yu pursed his lips. He did not believe Ning Yue. Unless she was a genius, not everyone could be so skilled.
“Then you’re very talented. Do you lack a master?” Gu Yu asked.
Ning Yue, who was drinking water, almost spat it out. This was like asking him, “Are you short of disciples? Can I be your disciple?”
Old Master Ning was silent.
Ning Bai was silent when he heard this.
Everyone in the Ning Family Village fell silent.
Why did this sound like the old divine doctor was begging Ning Yue to acknowledge him as her master?
Was the way the expert interacted so awkward?
