Chapter 351 Li Yanshen's Friendship Despite the Age Gap
Two days later in the blink of an eye.
Li Yanshen left, but Yu Lian received the investigation report he had sent through someone. She was already preoccupied with the matter, but after a brief moment of concern, she forgot about it and began to wholeheartedly entertain the foreign gentleman.
The old man was very simple, with gray hair and meticulous grooming; he was a thin, frail old man. If he hadn't told her, Yu Lian wouldn't have guessed he was eighty years old; he looked to be in his early sixties at most.
Yu Lian took Li Yanshen's foreign friends on a tour of the most famous historical sites. Whether the old man was dissatisfied or worried because the person he was waiting for hadn't arrived, Yu Lian never saw him smile during the few days they spent together.
Yu Lian was already exhausted and could barely keep going. But in order to properly entertain Li Yanshen's old friend, Yu Lian gritted her teeth and persevered.
That afternoon, the old man excitedly called her, telling Yu Lian that the person he was waiting for had arrived and asking her to go with him to the appointment. Because the old man was illiterate, she would need to act as his guide along the way.
Getting out of bed, Yu Lian splashed some cold water on her face to wake herself up, then drove to the hotel where the old man was staying. The old man was already waiting for her at the door, dressed neatly and holding an umbrella.
Here's the address.
Yu Lian took the note and saw that it was the largest and most efficacious temple in the suburbs. It was especially crowded during the holidays because of the rolling red maple leaves.
Having confirmed the address, Yu Lian led the old man to the outskirts. It was getting late; many who had seen the autumn leaves had already returned to the city, and the buses were packed, making the old man anxious. Yu Lian deliberately sped up, hoping the old man could see the person he longed for as soon as possible.
"I met Xiaomei more than fifty years ago. I came here as a field medic back then, and she was a villager from the base area. But she was very capable, much more capable than me... I'm sorry, I get very excited when I think of Xiaomei. Thank you for your help this time."
Yu Lian understood the old man's excitement.
"You don't talk much, so I've been on tenterhooks these past few days, afraid of causing trouble for Li Yanshen."
This made Vincent burst out laughing: "Didn't this kid tell you what our relationship is?"
"Aren't you two old friends?"
"Of course not."
Hearing the old man's negative answer, Yu Lian couldn't understand why Li Yanshen wouldn't tell the truth. The next second, she heard the old man say, "He's my nephew."
He quickly went through Li Yanshen's family relationships in his mind, but he couldn't figure out how this fair-skinned old man became Li Yanshen's uncle.
"Which side of his parents are you related to?"
"Haha, to be more precise, my relationship with him stems from Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei's mother and her mother are related."
Upon hearing this, Yu Lian immediately understood.
In high spirits, Vincent's tone became lighter. Before they knew it, the two had reached the foot of the mountain. After finding a place to park, Yu Lian led the elderly woman around the temple grounds, finally getting directions from a young novice monk.
The temple was vast, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the summit. Guided by the novice monk, the two climbed to the halfway point. The young novice pointed to a small dirt path that had appeared beside the stone steps halfway up the mountain and said, "This is it. Keep walking until you reach Doctor Wang."
Yu Lian glanced at the quiet path and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"This is the place. If you go too late, you won't be able to find Doctor Wang."
These words dispelled Yu Lian's concerns, and she led the old man along the extremely steep cliff edge. It appeared that there were plants on both sides, but in reality, the other side was a sheer drop. Because of the dense vegetation, Yu Lian had to walk with her back bent.
They endured the discomfort for seven or eight minutes, then turned a corner and the road finally opened up a bit. They straightened up and quickened their pace. The two arrived at the open space, one after the other, and not far ahead stood a wooden house built against the mountainside.
The geese in the yard became instantly wary upon seeing strangers, squawking incessantly. The unusual calls naturally caught the attention of those inside. Two young monks emerged from inside, carrying medicine, turned to thank the people inside, and then headed towards the door.
As they stepped out the door, they said, "Doctor Wang invites you both in; she is grinding medicinal herbs."
As the young novice monk left, he also put the two majestic white geese into a cage, which made Yu Lian dare to enter. She gestured for Vincent to go first.
Perhaps it was a sense of trepidation at the prospect of returning home, but Vincent hesitated and asked softly, "Am I alright now?"
He touched his hair and clothes. Yu Lian was too embarrassed to tell him the truth—his carefully prepared appearance had been ruined on his journey from the city to the mountain. His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were not only slightly damaged but also covered in fresh leaves from thorns caught on the path.
"That's fine, please go in."
"Aren't you coming in? Should I invite you?"
A sound came from inside the door, and Yu Lian quickly pushed the old man over.
"Hello, sorry to bother you."
Doctor Wang waved his hand: "Come in and sit down, don't be shy, I've prepared tea for you."
She was indeed thirsty after coming all the way from the foot of the mountain, and seeing that her mother-in-law was very kind, Yu Lian followed her inside. Vincent, on the other hand, didn't dare to step into the house at all.
"Have some tea for now, I'll prepare some food for you later."
With that, she got up and left. Yu Lian silently watched their retreating figures from the house on the other side of the courtyard, and saw the old woman expertly pinch Vincent's ear. She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the task Li Yanshen had given her was complete. Now she just had to wait for them to reconcile, and when the time was right, she would go down the mountain alone.
Yu Lian had planned every step of the way, never expecting that there would be three people leaving with her.
The two didn't have much time to catch up, and they even shared a vegetarian meal. When it was time to leave, they saw Granny Wang carrying her luggage, looking like she was about to depart. Yu Lian asked the question that had been bothering her, and only then did she understand Li Yanshen's good intentions.
She didn't know how Li Yanshen had devised such a plan in such a short time, killing two birds with one stone, but it was true that Li Yanshen had praised her to the skies, making Wang Xiaomei's mother-in-law happy to come down the mountain to help her.
On the way back, Yu Lian noticed the two were having communication difficulties, so she volunteered to translate. Suppressing her curiosity, she realized a simple truth—love at first sight must exist. If it weren't for love at first sight, how could these two people, who communicated only through gestures, have remained so attached to each other for decades due to misunderstandings and various external factors?
Wang Xiaomei didn't bring up the matter of helping anyone along the way, but she didn't seem anxious at all. She quietly gestured to Vincent a few times, and Vincent patted his chest, indicating that she shouldn't worry and that he could handle this small problem.
