Chapter 250 He's been in a coma for 6 days
Lin Yanran paused for a moment when she saw Yun Yi, and for some reason felt that this blind man seemed somewhat familiar, but she quickly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and stepped forward: "Hello Master, you said that there is a villain in my house?"
Yunyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, before I was only 80% sure, but after seeing Miss Lin, I am 100% sure."
"How did you know..." Lin Yanran wanted to ask her how she knew she was Miss Lin, but then she suddenly remembered that this was Lin's Cloth Shop, and she often came and went, so it was normal for her to know her. "Since the master has figured it out, is there a way to break the curse? Money is not a problem."
“Yes.” Yun Yi laughed. She liked Lin Yanran’s open-mindedness. “As long as the money is right, it’s definitely within our grasp.”
"Well..." Lin Yanran felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. "So what should we do now?"
"Of course you should go see the person who saw the problem; otherwise, the accuracy of your assessment will be compromised if you rely on them."
"Let's go." Lin Yanran said, reaching out to pick up the cloth banner. There were usually things in the satchel, so it wasn't appropriate for her to help carry them, but the cloth banner was fine.
Yunyi's lips curled up slightly. She liked this girl more and more the more she looked at her. Maybe she could play matchmaker. Jing Han was quite good. Why didn't she act as a matchmaker? She just wondered if the Lin couple would take a liking to that guy who came from a hoodlum background.
Meanwhile, someone who was training soldiers in the military camp suddenly sneezed and unconsciously tightened his cloak. The weather in the Northwest was really quite cold.
Qingshui Town is not very big, not even as big as Liyu Town. Moreover, the Lin Mansion is just across the street from the cloth shop, and it only takes about fifteen minutes to get there.
The Lin family were wealthy merchants. In the past, with the Gu family as their backers, no one dared to bully or provoke them. However, since the Gu family fell from grace, the Lin family's business has been greatly affected. In recent years, they have reduced many of their businesses and closed more than half of their shops. Now, all that remains is their original business of cloth shops. Fortunately, the Lin family has ancestral dyeing skills and their own mulberry orchard, so although their lives are not as good as before, they are still a wealthy family.
The house in Qingshui Town was originally just a place where people would stay occasionally when they came to discuss business, so it was just an ordinary three-courtyard house.
However, Madam Lin later preferred the tranquility of the countryside, so she moved here and bought both courtyards and combined them, resulting in the current layout of the Lin family home.
Lin Yanran led Yun Yi into the hall: "Master, please sit down for a moment. I'll go and call my parents out."
"Why don't you take me to see your grandmother first?"
Lin Yanran's eyes widened instantly, then widened in surprise: "You...you figured it out?"
"Let's go, the right thing to do is to wake your grandmother up as soon as possible."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yanran led her to a courtyard on the east side, where the strong smell of medicine could be smelled from afar.
Yunyi frowned: "Who treated your grandmother's illness?"
"Dr. Zhao from Huichuntang."
Yunyi nodded and followed her into the house.
The maids and servants who were serving them hurriedly came over to greet them.
"Let me see Grandmother." Lin Yanran led Yunyi into the inner hall.
Inside the room, an elderly woman with a full head of silver hair was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. There were two basins of silver charcoal in the room, and a large incense burner burning sandalwood.
"Remove the sandalwood incense from the incense burner and open the window to let in some fresh air." Yunyi placed the satchel on the table to the side, then went over to take the old lady's pulse. The old lady was shining with golden light all over her body. She was the reincarnation of a great philanthropist who had lived three lifetimes. If it weren't for her merits, she would have died long ago. How could she have survived until Yunyi came over?
"Where did this lecherous fellow come from?" Just then, Madam Lin, who had received the news, rushed over and immediately stopped Yunyi's behavior as soon as she entered the door. "How dare you run around in the women's quarters like this?"
"Mother, this is a master, she can..."
"Shut up." Madam Lin glared at her daughter. "You're bringing just anyone into the inner room! Don't you ever learn? What if..."
“Madam Lin,” Yunyi hurriedly stopped Lin Lüshi, “I am blind.”
Madam Lin then noticed that Yunyi's eyes were covered with a black cloth, and her expression stiffened for a moment: "Master, please don't be offended, but no matter what, you are still an outsider. Please come into the inner room..."
"Is Dr. Zhao from Huichuntang also a man?"
Mrs. Lin was taken aback.
“Madam, you can treat me as your doctor.” Yunyi smiled. “Besides, your mother has been in a coma for six days. You’ve tried many methods during this time, but none of them worked, right? I can tell you definitively that if it exceeds seven days, the old lady can be placed in her coffin directly.”
"You..." Madam Lin was stunned.
“Master, you’re absolutely right.” Lin Yanran exclaimed, “Mother, please don’t delay any longer.”
Madam Lin was about to say something when Lin Wan walked in and said, "Aying, let the master take a look."
Mrs. Lin glanced at her husband, then stepped aside.
Yunyi tapped the old lady's wrist with her finger, and after a moment stood up: "The Lin family has great fortune, but someone else has taken it away. The old lady is a reincarnation of a great philanthropist, and has accumulated great merit. She has shielded herself from all the bad luck. Otherwise, the Lin family would have been bankrupt, or worse, the family could have been destroyed."
The Lin family members all gasped in shock.
"Did the old lady acquire anything before she fell into a coma?" Yunyi asked after she finished stating her statement.
"This..." Mrs. Lin and her husband exchanged a glance, they really didn't know.
"Yes!" Amber, who was taking care of Madam Lin, suddenly exclaimed.
This girl was abducted by human traffickers and was originally intended to be sold into a brothel, but she was rescued by Old Madam Lin and stayed by her side for twenty years. She remained unmarried and devoted to her husband, and was the person Old Madam Lin trusted most.
"Aunt Amber, what is it?" Lin Yanran asked hurriedly.
Amber stepped forward and pulled a jade pendant from under the old lady's pillow: "This was obtained by the old lady at the Bodhi Temple a few days ago. At that time, the abbot happened to be giving a lecture on Buddhism, and then he randomly selected three lucky worshippers and gave them protective jade pendants..."
"Bodhi Temple? Is it famous?" Yun Yi frowned. She had never heard of it. But there was a treacherous Taoist temple before, and now there's a terrifying Buddhist temple? Is this temple trying to embarrass both Buddha and Taoism?
"It's about thirty miles east of Qingshui Town," Madam Lin said. "The Bodhi Patriarch and the Medicine King Bodhisattva are enshrined there. They are very effective for praying for peace, especially the amulets that have been personally blessed by the abbot, Master Bodhi. It takes a great deal of luck to obtain one. I have been there before, but unfortunately I was not selected."
