Chapter 1069: Chapter 720: Meeting the Martial Uncle When Leaving Home (Part 2)

"Dad, look, I brought you two helpers," Ouyang Zishan spoke quite loudly, unmistakably the kind of forthright woman she was. Yet, it didn’t matter, as the elder not far away seemed utterly unaffected by her presence.

Sighing, Ouyang Zishan apologetically looked towards Mu Lin, "I’m really sorry, Mu Lin. My dad doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s doing his research, and it’s hard for him to hear others." She didn’t know how many times she had complained about this bad habit of his, but to no avail.

Watching Doctor Ouyang from a distance, Mu Lin smiled lightly, "I understand." In fact, both she and her Master tended to be the same when engrossed in their research, having an unspoken agreement not to disturb each other.

However, looking at Ouyang Zishan’s demeanor, she seemed to be the sort who often intruded. It looked like Doctor Ouyang had consciously tuned out her voice.

Ouyang Zishan didn’t take Mu Lin’s words seriously, thinking they were just a matter of politeness.

"Dad." With a resigned sigh, Ouyang Zishan strode purposefully inside, the exasperation clear on her face, "Dad, are you listening to me? There are guests here."

No response; he probably didn’t hear.

Mu Lin stepped forward, noticing the elder’s troubled expression as he held two pieces of herbal medicine. She chuckled lightly, "Wu Tai is warm, while She Danmu is cool. Used alone, She Danmu would be more effective, but if you’re combining it with the Fang Zi beside you, Doctor Ouyang, Wu Tai would be more appropriate. And if you add Lan Ming Grass, it might be quite good for removing necrotic tissue and generating new flesh."

Although Lan Ming Grass is poisonous, its toxicity isn’t very strong. Sometimes fighting poison with poison can have better healing effects.

Some of Mu Lin’s antidotes actually worked on the principle of fighting poison with poison.

Having removed her face mask, Mu Lin could already smell the ingredients in the Fang Zi held by Doctor Ouyang just with her nose. It might not save lives, but having seen the wounds of those downstairs, using it could perhaps slow down the rate of necrosis.

Mu Lin was still not clear on the nature of the epidemic affecting these folks, but she had a rough guess, given that Chinese Medicine emphasizes looking and smelling before questioning and feeling the pulse; she was already doing the first two, and for the rest, she needed to find out more. After getting a grasp of the situation here, she had another task to attend to.

Sure enough, Doctor Ouyang had heard her. He exclaimed with pleasure, "Ah! How did I not think of that! Lan Ming Grass may be Poisonous Grass, but it harmonizes perfectly with the Mu Lei in this mixture." He looked at Mu Lin in delight, "You’re amazing, girl!"

Ouyang Zishan looked at Mu Lin in surprise, finding it hard to believe that just a few words from Mu Lin had brought her father back from the realm of herbal medicine. Impressive, indeed.

It seemed her father had met a fellow professional. She now fully believed that Mu Lin had been learning Chinese Medicine from a young age and had excellent medical skill. She just didn’t know how Mu Lin would measure up against her father.

"Impressive," she thought as she unreservedly gave Mu Lin a thumbs-up.

"Who are these two?" Doctor Ouyang came back to his senses and finally noticed that Mu Lin and Jing Tian were strangers to him. He looked at Ouyang Zishan and asked.

"This is Mu Lin, and the one behind him is..." Ouyang Zishan tilted her head, suddenly realizing she didn’t actually know the name of the person behind Mu Lin.

But! Her father probably wasn’t in the mood to pay attention now, as he stared at Mu Lin in shock, "Your name is Mu Lin?"

Mu Lin nodded. Ouyang Zishan, puzzled, looked at her father, "Dad, why do you look so astonished? What’s up with Mu Lin?" Mu Lin was a nice name, certainly nicer to the ears than Ouyang Zishan.

However, Doctor Ouyang barely paid attention to his daughter, focusing instead on Mu Lin, "I just wanted to ask, what’s your relationship with the reclusive Gong Family?"

Mu Lin’s expression shifted slightly, "Grandfather Gong is my maternal grandfather." Her lips curled up lightly as she looked at Ouyang Bo, "You must be Uncle Master Ouyang; I’ve heard my grandfather mention you before." Several external disciples of Grandfather Gong had come for the last human experiment incident, and Doctor Ouyang was among those who hadn’t come.

Grandfather Gong had said that he hadn’t returned for decades, so he didn’t seek him out that time. However, Doctor Ouyang would call the Gong Family mansion in C Province from time to time; there, Mu Lin’s name was also something he had heard through Gong He.

Ouyang Bo had expressed his surprise that such events could occur in his teacher’s family. Truly, life was full of unpredictable twists and turns.

Doctor Ouyang’s full name was Ouyang Bo.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Ouyang Bo was ecstatic, "Good, that’s so good. I never expected to meet my junior niece in this place." Since Mu Lin called him Uncle Master, it was only fitting for him to call her ’junior niece.’

Ouyang Zishan’s face was also filled with disbelief as she looked at Mu Lin.

Who would have thought that by bringing her along, they’d brought home a relative! She had heard something about the Gong Family; no wonder she found Mu Lin so agreeable.
