The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Gu Ling and Lao Mu caught up with Qiu Jing on the fifth day after leaving Xingluo Island. Their boats were smaller, faster, and they took turns driving without stopping.

Qiu Jing received a report that a ship was approaching. He thought it was someone who was chasing them, so he ordered everyone to be on alert and prepare to respond to the enemy. Then he heard Lao Mu's voice.

Qiu Jing was overjoyed and shouted, "Don't do anything to me!"

He and Cen Man stood at the stern of the boat, watching the boat approaching. Lao Mu was waving to them, and there was a tall figure. Who else could it be if it wasn't Gu Ling?

Cen Man's brows relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Great, great! I knew it would be okay for Xiao Gu to save people!"

Gu Ling and Lao Mu abandoned the boat and boarded Qiu Jing's boat. When they saw Gu Ling holding a pot in his hand, Qiu Jing's mouth twitched slightly, "Did you get this from Xingluo Island?"

"Weapon." Gu Ling said, raising it up as if to slap Qiu Jing on the head with the iron pot in his hand.

Cen Man smiled and took the pot, "Stop making trouble. Your eyes are red, you must have not slept for many days, please take a rest."

Qiu Jing did not give the order to continue setting off, but pulled Gu Ling aside and asked, "Should we go forward, or should we turn around and fight back?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Go back to Kasyapa City first."

Qiu Jing glanced at the direction of Xingluo Island, and could only see the line where the sea and the sky meet, and sighed, "It's okay. We don't have any explosives. After wandering on the sea for so long, I think everyone has lost their energy. If we fight back again, it won't be as smooth as last time." After saying that, he gave the order and moved forward at full speed.

Gu Ling then met Lao Bai and Yuan Ying. They looked good, but they had no memory of the past.

Only then did Gu Ling learn that the three of them had lost their memory. His eyes immediately narrowed and he thought of Yan Shiba, whom he had rescued from Sheng Yue and arranged to be sent back to his home in the capital!

It cannot be a coincidence that so many people have lost their memory. If Yan Shiba knew some secret about Xingluo Island or Sheng Yue and had his memory wiped, it would not be a big problem, but if Sheng Yue had ulterior motives and wanted to use Yan Shiba for something...

Yuan Ying's personality has not changed, she is still cheerful and cheerful even if she has lost her memory. She has heard Qiu Jing talk a lot about Su Liang and Gu Ling, and she is looking forward to meeting Su Liang soon.

Yuan Ye was injured in his early years and had some brain problems. He was very dependent on Yuan Ying. He was very wary of strangers and refused to touch him. He always lowered his head and huddled behind Yuan Ying and said nothing. Gu Ling tried to take his pulse but failed, so she gave up.

Gu Ling checked the conditions of Yuan Ying and Lao Bai and found no signs of poisoning. He suspected that the amnesia drugs were given by Yue Mei or provided to Xingluo Island by Yue Mei, just like Lin Shan's situation.

The most emotionally unstable person is Lao Bai. He has been trying hard to retrieve his memory, and he can't stand the blank mind. He always beats his head with his hands and is restless most of the time.

Lao Mu frowned and grabbed Lao Bai's hand, "Stop knocking! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

"Who are you...I don't know you..." Lao Bai frowned and looked at Lao Mu.

Lao Mu said angrily, "We have known each other for decades, and I know everything about you!"

"Really?" Lao Bai said and looked at Qiu Jing for confirmation.

Qiu Jing nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, the two seniors have been friends for half their lives. Senior Mu went to Xingluo Island just to save you."

Gu Ling already knew from Lao Mu how he and Cen Man were arrested when they went to Xingluo Island to rescue people. At that time, they secretly went to the island and had not sneaked into the city lord's palace. They were unlucky enough to bump into Sheng Yue. They were in a very secluded forest at that time. Little did they know that Sheng Yue was sitting on the tree above them in broad daylight, not knowing what he was doing... The result was no doubt that Sheng Yue used smoke to stun them.

Lao Mu and Cen Man did not see Mo Yan and woke up in the dungeon. Sheng Yue stood in front of them and told them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they would not be killed, but their memories would be erased.

Lao Mu and Cen Man could only endure in silence, waiting for a turn of events. They did not see Lao Bai and Yuan Ying siblings on Xingluo Island. When Lao Mu asked, Sheng Yue did not answer.

As for what happened to Lao Bai and Yuan Ying, the three of them have lost their memories and have no way of knowing.

Cen Man prepared some hot soup and rice for Gu Ling and Lao Mu, and Gu Ling went to bed after eating.

When I woke up, it was already dark. Gu Ling sat up. It was dark all around. He could hear someone speaking in a low voice outside, probably for fear of disturbing him. There was also the clear sound of waves.

Gu Ling had a nightmare, dreaming that Su Liang and Gu Xiaonuan were kidnapped by Sheng Yue. He felt a little cold, as if the sea breeze was blowing in.

"Are you awake?" Qiu Jing's voice.

Gu Ling stood up and asked, "How many days do we have until we can reach Kasyapa City?"

Qiu Jing thought for a while and said, "About seven or eight days."

"I'm leaving first." Gu Ling came out of the cabin and took a deep breath. The sea breeze was very cold.

Qiu Jing was stunned for a moment, "Are you leaving by yourself?"

"Yes." Gu Ling nodded, "I'm worried about my family. Sheng Yue may have gone to the capital."

Qiu Jing's expression changed suddenly. He had been staring at Xingluo Island before and didn't think about it.

"You can go back first, just in case..." Qiu Jing sighed, "But you can't go alone. Let Senior Cen accompany you back, so that we can take care of each other." Lao Bai can't live without Lao Mu now.

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded and told Qiu Jing, "After you return to Kasyapa City, deploy defense lines at places where you can land on the seaside near Nanping City and Kasyapa City, as well as the original Yan Kingdom. People are prohibited from going to the sea. When fishing, all boats are treated as people from Xingluo Island. Once a boat appears, they are not allowed to approach the shore. If the hostages are gone, they may come to arrest them again soon. "

Qiu Jing said seriously, "I understand. The most indispensable thing now is soldiers. I will make arrangements after I get ashore."

"My master can make explosives and other weapons. Let him prepare them when the time comes." Gu Ling said. Lao Mu can come in handy if he stays.

When Cen Man learned that Gu Ling and she were going home first, she didn't ask anything and quickly prepared a few days' worth of dry food and water. There were emergency boats on their boat, and they launched one into the water. The two left the team and left first.

"Xiao Gu, don't worry too much. Xiao Liang has always been cautious, nothing will happen to him." Cen Man noticed Gu Ling's nervousness and comforted him.

Gu Ling raised his head and glanced at the bright moon in the night sky, but said nothing.

…

Yesterday I met Chengyun's uncle Pucheng at Huguo Temple. A short while today, Pucheng and Chengyun came to Su Mansion.

Unfortunately, Su Liang was about to take the children to the Duke of Qin's mansion for a banquet. Mr. Qin has added a great-grandson, who is one full moon today.

When Pucheng learned about it, he smiled and said, "We took the liberty of disturbing you. How about we come back tomorrow?"

Su Liang said it would be okay tomorrow.

Pucheng brought a small flower he picked casually when he went down the mountain and put it on Gu Xiaonuan's head. It was very cute. Then he left with Chengyun.

Yan Shiba said she wouldn't go, and Su Liang asked Liao Dong to watch her at home. Others, including Qiu Cong and Nangong Qian, all went together.

The Full Moon Wine at Guogong Mansion was very lively and there were many children. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu became the kings of children and had a lot of fun with a group of little beans.

Gu Xiaonuan was the most popular baby besides the one-month-old baby. Su Liang heard people keep saying that Gu Xiaonuan looked like her father, and she missed her master even more.

After leaving the Duke of Qin's mansion in the afternoon, Su Liang held Gu Xiaonuan and sat in the carriage to go home. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu were riding outside.

Gu Xiaonuan was tired from playing and fell asleep. Su Liang coaxed her softly, and suddenly she heard Gu Xiaonuan call out "Mother" vaguely.

Su Liang was stunned immediately, "Gu Xiaonuan, what did you just call me?"

Gu Xiaonuan rubbed her head against Su Liang's chest, found the most comfortable position, and fell asleep...

When they got home, Gu Xiaonuan didn't wake up. Su Liang put her in the cradle, and she stayed next to the cradle, waiting for Gu Xiaonuan to wake up and see if she would still call her mother.

In fact, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu have been teaching Gu Xiaonuan how to speak recently, but she seems to think it is a game and refuses to learn how to speak like her two brothers.

Su Liang thought it was okay. It would be better for Gu Xiaonuan to speak when Gu Ling came back, so as not to be so sad when Gu Ling came back and found that Gu Xiaonuan knew everything but didn't recognize him.

Finally, Su Liang saw Gu Xiaonuan's thick eyelashes trembling, knowing that she was about to wake up, and gently rocked the cradle.

Gu Xiaonuan opened her eyes and blinked. Su Liang leaned over and said two words very simply and directly, "Call me mother."

Gu Xiaonuan got up with a smile, leaned over and kissed Su Liang.

Su Liang:...That's not what she wants.

Then, she saw Gu Xiaonuan pointing her little finger at the portrait of Gu Ling attached to her cradle and calling out "Dad" clearly.

Su Liang was stunned. She was worried that Gu Xiaonuan had forgotten Gu Ling, so she put a portrait here for her to see. Could it be because when she was a guest at the Duke's Mansion today, someone kept telling Gu Xiaonuan that she looked like her father, but he taught her to call her father?

But why not call her mother? Could it be that the sound on the way back was her imagination?

"Call me mother." Su Liang picked up Gu Xiaonuan, pointed at herself, and gave the instruction again.

Gu Xiaonuan kissed Su Liang again.

When Su Liang taught Gu Xiaonuan seriously for the third time, Gu Xiaonuan seemed to have enlightened herself and shouted very loudly, "Mom!"

Su Liang instantly felt that his heart was filled up. This feeling was wonderful and indescribable.

This was a memorable day, Gu Xiaonuan spoke. Su Liang later told Gu Ling about today's events. Gu Ling was very happy that his daughter had never forgotten him, but he and Su Liang had differences on a certain point. What did Gu Xiaonuan say when she first spoke? Mother or father.

Su Liang thought that she heard wrongly that time in the carriage and Gu Xiaonuan called her dad first. But Gu Ling insisted that Gu Xiaonuan was the one who called her mother first.

During dinner, Su Liang said that he wanted to announce something important. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu both sat up straight and listened carefully. Then Su Liang looked at Gu Xiaonuan and pointed at herself, which was an instruction.

Gu Xiaonuan immediately understood and called "Mother".

Qiu Cong held up his palms and praised, "Nuan Nuan can talk now! So smart! She speaks so well!"

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu both came to Gu Xiaonuan's side, vying for her to call her brother. Qiu Cong carried the two children and put them behind him, then leaned over with a bright smile and pointed at himself, "Master, call me Master."

"Master!" Gu Xiaonuan called sweetly.

Qiu Cong was so satisfied that the corners of his mouth reached behind his ears when he smiled.

After Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu muttered several words, Gu Xiaonuan called "brother".

The two children were very happy and said at the same time, "My sister called me brother!" Then they looked at each other and started to argue about who Gu Xiaonuan was calling. Zheng'er usually behaves like a big brother and gives in to Ji Xiaoshu on many things, but he refused to give in on this matter, saying that it was him who Gu Xiaonuan called him.

"Two brothers, I am calling you." Su Liang ended the childish fight between the two children, "You teach her to call her elder brother and second brother, and see if she can tell the difference. Eat first."

The two children listened to Su Liang's words and returned to their seats obediently. Ji Xiaoshu's eyes suddenly widened, "That's bad! My sister doesn't know how to call her daddy yet. How sad it will be when the master comes back and finds out!"

Su Liang chuckled, "The first person she called was daddy."

"Really?" Qiu Cong was a little doubtful.

"Really." Su Liang looked serious.

At night, Liandong went to deliver hot water to Yan Shiba, and Yan Shiba saw a smile on her face. This is rare, because Lonicera has always been a serious person.

"Is there any happy event?" Yan Shiba asked.

Lonicera smiled and nodded, "My little master can speak now."

"That's great." Yan Shiba nodded slightly.

…

The next day, Pucheng and Chengyun came to Su Mansion again.

Knowing that Gu Xiaonuan could speak, Pucheng taught her to call her master, but Qiu Cong stopped her, "Xiao Gu hasn't agreed yet, so you can't call her!"

Pucheng chuckled and said, "I hope Donor Gu will come back soon."

The weather is excellent today, with blue skies and a gentle breeze.

Qiu Cong laid a thick mat by the lake. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu took off their shoes and played on it. Gu Xiaonuan was also carried over by Qiu Cong and placed on it.

Su Liang invited Pucheng and Chengyun to sit and drink tea by the window on the first floor of Yuanming Pavilion. He also specially prepared vegetarian snacks and fruits grown in the house for them.

Seeing Cheng Yun staring outside, Su Liang smiled and said, "Go out and play with them."

Chengyun was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed. After all, he was an adult and a monk.

"Go, go, no one will laugh at you. The children all like you." Pucheng cheered up and pushed him out.

Then Pucheng came back and sat down, took a sip of tea and nodded slightly, "I almost forgot that you are now the head of the Ning family. This tea is very good."

"Master Pucheng likes it. Take a bag of tea with you when you leave." Su Liang smiled.

Pucheng shook his head, "Don't call me master, it sounds like you're calling me an old monk. Just call me Pucheng."

"So, Uncle Pucheng?" Su Liang chuckled. After all, they are elders.

Pucheng was happy, "Okay, okay, this is good." As he said that, Pucheng looked outside and saw Ji Xiaoshu holding a model of a locomotive and pushing it on the ground.

Pucheng withdrew his gaze, "Actually, I wanted Xiaoyun to return to secular life, but he didn't want to. It was I who brought him to Ping'an Temple back then. He became a monk just for the convenience of living in the temple. He is still young, and I hope he can live a good life. It would be a pity to live the same life, especially if he has interesting friends like you, to go back to the temple to burn incense and recite things for the rest of his life. "

Su Liang asked, "Uncle Pucheng knows Chengyun's life experience?"

Pucheng nodded, "He is the orphan of a friend of mine before I became a monk. It's my fault that I've been traveling around all these years and didn't take good care of him."

"Why doesn't Uncle Pucheng take Chengyun on a trip with him?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

Pucheng was stunned, "I thought he was too young at the time, and I was afraid I couldn't take good care of him... Well, you're right, I should take him out for a walk, so that he won't only have Buddhism in his mind. I'll take him this time I came to the capital saying I was visiting Brother Puhui, but actually I wanted to meet you and ask you to help persuade Xiaoyun to return to secular life. I have become a monk myself, but I can’t persuade him."

"Uncle Pucheng, can you tell me what happened before you became a monk? I'm just curious. It's okay if you don't want to tell me. Just pretend I didn't ask." Su Liang was really curious.

Pucheng sighed, with a confused look on his face, "It's just that my family has been destroyed, and there is nothing to talk about. Although I have become a monk, I have not forgotten the past. Maybe I have been deceiving myself, thinking that after shaving my head and entering Buddhism, I can start a new life." Life. In recent years, I have always been walking around, and I don’t want to stop in one place, because if I stay for a long time, I feel like I have a home. But I have no home, and I don’t want to have another home... Actually, I didn’t think of Xiaoyun. I keep him with me because when I see him, I always think of my old friend..."

Seeing Pucheng's eyes suddenly turn red, Su Liang sighed slightly and gave him more hot tea, "Sorry, I made uncle sad."

"It doesn't matter." Pucheng took two sips of tea and smiled again, "I have an impure heart, and this will be the case for the rest of my life. But Xiaoyun still has hope of living a happier life. I beg you."

Su Liang nodded, "I'll give it a try. I like Chengyun very much. It would be great if he is willing to return to secular life."

Pucheng and Chengyun had a vegetarian meal at Su Mansion, which was cooked by Su Liang and tasted very good. They went back to Huguo Temple in the afternoon.

…

Pucheng opened the door, went in, and quickly turned around and closed the door.

"Father, have you thought about it?" A deep voice sounded not far away.

Pucheng's face darkened, "Ayue, please stop. I won't let you hurt Su Liang. I've already told you that her mother saved your mother back then, and we owe her a debt of gratitude."

"Her grandfather killed my mother. How can we settle this debt?" Sheng Yue's face emerged from the shadows, his eyes as cold as ice.

Pucheng shook his head, "What you want to do will not succeed."

"Regardless of success or failure, I will never give up." Sheng Yue said coldly, "The person I want is Gu Ling. How about not hurting Su Liang and ensuring that she is unscathed afterwards? Even if my father doesn't help me, I won't Stop it. If I die, my father won’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Pucheng's face became increasingly ugly. After a long silence, he sighed deeply and said, "Remember what you said. I'll help you, for the last time."
