Chapter 116 Reunion of Grandfather and Grandson

"Miss Ye, you've arrived. The doctor is inside preparing the medicinal herbs."

As Wu Feng carried water past, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, a simple and honest smile on his face, and spoke to Ye Yaoyao.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

Ye Yaoyao walked towards the pharmacy, and behind the shelves where the medicinal herbs were placed, she could vaguely see an elderly man with a full head of white hair.

Carefully navigate around the layers of shelves.

"Grandpa Han, I've come to see you."

"Hehe! Yaoyao is here."

Doctor Han put down the winnowing basket and waved to her with a smile. A kind smile bloomed on his wrinkled face, and his eyes were full of joy.

He was slender yet straight as a pine tree, and in his sixties, his eyes were still bright.

He was wearing a plain-colored robe, which was old but clean and tidy. It had been more than a month since I last saw him, and his skin was darker than I remembered, obviously from gathering herbs.

"Girl, come here and let Grandpa see if you've grown taller again?"

Doctor Han extended his hand, beckoning to Ye Yaoyao.

Ye Yaoyao was taken aback by the familiar words. Her grandfather would say the same thing when he returned from business trips or research trips after a long separation.

My grandfather encountered turmoil in another country while he was helping to rescue people and sacrificed his life there. Thinking of my grandfather, my eyes instantly filled with tears.

Ye Yaoyao walked quickly to Doctor Han and took his hand.

"Grandpa Han, I miss you so much."

Doctor Han patted Ye Yaoyao's head and sighed:

"Oh! Look how excited you are. Grandpa has missed you too, my little girl."

"Grandpa Han, where are you going to collect herbs this time?"

"This time we didn't go up the mountain, we went to Hongyan Town. There's a medicinal herb that Grandpa has been looking for for a long time. When we heard there was news there, Grandpa went to see it."

"Hongyan Town, that sounds like a very hot place, what kind of medicinal herbs are used there?"

“It’s very hot there; there’s no winter.” Doctor Han took out a large box filled with soil, and pulled out a blade of grass from the soil.

"Look, this is called Phoenix Grass."

"This shape does resemble a rooster's tail somewhat."

Ye Yaoyao took the bright red herb and examined it carefully; she could still feel its warmth. Having traveled such a long distance for this herb, it must be a rare medicinal material.

"What are the medicinal effects of the Phoenix Grass?" Ye Yaoyao had looked through the medical books, but there was no record of them.

"This herb can relieve some symptoms of coldness and dampness and soothe damaged nerves, but it cannot be taken directly."

The medication must be stored properly before use; otherwise, it will lose all its effectiveness.

Doctor Han carefully put the phoenix grass back into the box and buried it in the soil again.

"Grandpa Han, I have a question for you."

"Yes! Go ahead."

"My mother's headaches aren't because of a previous injury, are they?"

"Girl, why would you think that?" Doctor Han asked with a hint of surprise.

“I opened the sachet before, and there were two or three kinds of medicine inside that I didn’t recognize.”

If the illness developed due to inadequate care, then the prescription is incorrect.

"Hmm! It seems your medical skills haven't declined at all while Grandpa's away."

Doctor Han smiled and patted Ye Yaoyao's head, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Your mother's headaches were definitely not caused by the injury."

"What disease caused that?" Ye Yaoyao asked anxiously.

Doctor Han remained silent, which made Ye Yaoyao's heart jump. It seemed that the matter was quite serious. Just as she was about to ask the system to investigate, Doctor Han spoke up.

"Yaoyao, Grandpa told you before that he would teach you a new medical technique. I will tell you about it after you have learned it."

"Is it poison? Do you think my medical skills are too limited to tell me?"

Doctor Han patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"Yaoyao, don't worry! Your mother's condition is quite complicated. Even if I tell you now, you may not understand the key points."

"Trust your grandfather; if you study diligently, you'll soon find the answer."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Ye Yaoyao nodded helplessly:

"Okay, Grandpa Han, can you teach me now?"

"You wait for me outside."

Ye Yaoyao waited outside. Doctor Han came out with his medicine box and placed it on the table. Wu Feng brought over a white rabbit.

"Doctor, the rabbit you requested has been caught."

"it is good!"

Doctor Han took the medicine box and placed it on the table. Ye Yaoyao stared in disbelief, her eyes widening, and stood there dumbfounded.

"Yaoyao, Grandpa will teach you how to treat external injuries. Only Grandpa knows this treatment method, so don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

Ye Yaoyao knew what it was—familiar medical instruments. She shifted her gaze to Doctor Han, staring intently at him, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Did you hear what Grandpa said, little girl?"

"heard it."

Doctor Han was focused on his work and didn't notice Ye Yaoyao's probing gaze.

"This method can be used to treat large wounds. It is simple, convenient, and easy to recover from."

Doctor Han began his procedure with practiced ease, and Ye Yaoyao watched his movements intently without blinking.

He slowed down his movements and explained in detail, from cutting the wound to stitching it up, all in one smooth motion.

"Do you understand now?" Doctor Han looked up and saw Ye Yaoyao looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Girl, what's wrong? Why are you crying so much today?"

"Grandpa, you are my grandpa." Ye Yaoyao rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Haha... Of course I'm your grandpa. You've been calling me 'Grandpa' since you were five."

Doctor Han was taken aback at first, then burst into hearty laughter.

"No, no, you are my own grandfather."

Ye Yaoyao noticed that his technique was exactly the same as the one her grandfather used to teach her medicine when she was a child.

"Okay! Okay! It's your grandfather. Can you let me go first? Let me wash my hands, be careful not to get blood on my clothes."

"It's okay, it's fine if it gets on you."

Ye Yaoyao held onto Doctor Han tightly, refusing to let go.

The doctor Han hadn't realized her strange behavior; he just thought she was being affectionate with him because they hadn't seen each other in a long time.

“Grandpa, when you were teaching me, I thought the long strips were ugly and insisted on having a hook. From then on, you stopped stitching wounds straight.”

Ye Yaoyao recalled learning how to suture wounds when she was a child, and said with a smile.

Doctor Han's eyes widened in disbelief, "You...you are...my Yaoyao, my Ye Zheng's...granddaughter."

“Yes, Grandpa.” Ye Yaoyao smiled. Her grandfather’s name was Ye Zheng.

Nine years ago, when I first met five-year-old Yaoyao, he looked exactly like you when you were little, so I mistook him for you.

"Yaoyao, my granddaughter, when did you arrive here?"

Doctor Han was certain that the Ye Yaoyao of the past was not the one of now.

“Grandpa, when you went out, Yaoyao here fell into the water and died. That's when I came here. Grandpa, what about you?”

The grandfather and grandson, who had been separated by death, were able to rekindle their kinship in another time and space.

The renowned doctor Han whispered in her ear:

Nineteen years ago, I encountered a tiger in the mountains and was rescued. When I woke up, I realized that I had come to another dimension.

Grandpa had no memories of this body; his herb-gathering tools were engraved with the character "Han," so he took the surname Han.
