On a moonlit night, inside the rescue cabin of Benevolent Pavilion, Yan Qing sat alone by the window, lightly caressing the sword that had once saved her life.
Her eyes reflected the starlight, but her heart was filled with confusion. Since the unexpected attack, she deeply felt the insignificance of her own strength and realized the importance of concealing her identity. To survive in this chaotic world, she must hide from the world and have the ability to protect herself.
Sister Fei's voice interrupted Yan Qing's contemplation, and she gently pushed open the door and walked in.
Sister Fei had a worried look on her face as she walked up to Yan Qing and said softly, " Bei Lin'er, are you okay? You've been lost in thought by yourself these past few days, and it's really worrying."
Yan Qing looked up, revealing a faint smile that couldn't hide the determination in her eyes: " Sister Fei, I'm thinking about which path to take in the future."
Sister Fei sat beside her, gently holding her hand: "We will all support you, no matter what decision you make."
A warm feeling surged in Yan Qing's heart, knowing that Sister Fei was speaking sincerely. She took a deep breath and made a decision: "From now on, I will be a disciple of Benevolent Pavilion."
A hint of surprise flashed in Sister Fei's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by understanding and support: "Very well. From now on, you are a member of our Benevolent Pavilion."
Yan Qing, no, the current Bei Lin'er, stood up, her eyes no longer filled with the hesitation and helplessness of the past, but instead with determination and courage. She gently put the short blade back into its sheath, from now on, she would use wisdom and medical skills to protect herself and everything she cherished.
After Sister Fei left, the footsteps of the old granny sounded softly, like the night wind brushing over fallen leaves, faint and carrying a hint of warmth.
She pushed open the door and saw Bei Lin'er standing by the window, her back straight, like a pine tree standing proudly in the snow, strong and resilient yet not lacking in flexibility.
The old lady approached, her voice low and full of concern: "Princess, have you made your decision?"
Bei Lin'er turned around, with a new sense of calm on her face: "Yes, I have made up my mind."
A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Granny's eyes, and she nodded gently, a kind smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
"I know that whatever decision you make, Princess, it will be carefully considered. In my lifetime, I have witnessed too much joy and sorrow. If the Princess can live her life peacefully and contentedly, it would be a blessing, and it is also the wish of the Queen Mother."
Bei Lin'er walked to the old lady's side and gently helped her sit down.
Moonlight shines through the window, casting onto the two of them, stretching their shadows long. It seems that in this quiet night, one can also hear the sound of each other's heartbeat.
"Grandma, thank you," Bei Lin'er's voice is soft and sincere, "Here with Grandma, I feel the warmth of home."
Grandma reached out her trembling hand and gently stroked Bei Lin'er's head: "Child, Grandma is your home. No matter how the outside world changes, Grandma will always be your safe haven."
A hint of determination flashed in Bei Lin'er's eyes. She knew that this decision meant putting an end to her past self. From now on, she would live as Bei Lin'er, starting a new life and using her wisdom and medical skills to heal the pain in this chaotic world.
Perhaps one day she will have the ability to seek revenge, but it is too early to say such things now, and she cannot let anyone see that she harbors such thoughts.
Grandma stood up and gently patted Bei Lin'er's shoulder: "Go, child. Your future is up to you."
Bei Lin'er took a deep breath, and her heart was filled with strength. She escorted the old lady back to her room, then returned to her own bed, sat down gently, closed her eyes, and felt the calmness within her heart.
The outside world was still noisy, but in this small world of Benevolent Pavilion, she found her own place. From now on, she will continue to move forward in the name of Bei Lin'er, not forgetting her original intention and not fearing the future.
On the second day, Bei Lin'er, along with Sister Fei and other senior brothers and sisters, gradually transferred severely ill patients to the nearby Benevolent Pavilion branch.
This is a courtyard hidden in the mountains and forests, far away from the hustle and bustle, creating a quiet world of its own.
The courtyard is filled with various medicinal herbs, and a clear spring trickles out from the rocks, with a faint medicinal fragrance permeating the air.
Bei Lin'er Standing in the center of the courtyard, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Behind the Benevolent Pavilion branch, there is a vast land with lush medicinal herbs, verdant and thriving.
This is a vibrant world, where the white-clad disciples are busy working in the fields. Their figures shuttle through the medicinal fields, their sickles glinting in the sunlight as they harvest rows of mature herbs.
These disciples work skillfully, carefully processing and drying the harvested herbs, then crushing them with force, and finally accurately weighing and packing them into cloth medicine bags.
Their actions never cease, as these medicine packages will be swiftly sent to distant pharmacies, or directly enter the palace, noble residences, and even the homes of distant princes and lords.
The cultivation and medicinal formula of Benevolent Pavilion traditional Chinese medicine hides enormous profits, which have attracted countless greedy eyes. Many local powers have coveted it and sought to bring it into their own sphere of influence.
However, the compassion and benevolence of Benevolent Pavilion, the Wei Renzhi, have saved countless lives, regardless of gender, age, or social status. Many local powers owe him favors as a result.
Therefore, most of these powers feel a sense of gratitude towards Benevolent Pavilion, and his frequent aid to the people and widespread relief efforts have earned him high prestige and respect among the populace.
These forces, each with their own hidden agenda, have no choice but to openly praise Benevolent Pavilion and support its neutral position. If anyone among them dares to touch Benevolent Pavilion, it will surely incur public wrath, and other forces will rise up to attack them.
Therefore, in such a delicate balance, Benevolent Pavilion is able to survive securely in a turbulent era of warfare and dynastic changes.
Most crucially, Benevolent Pavilion has a deep connection with Buddhism temples. They occasionally provide medical supplies to the resident monks free of charge, a generous gesture that has strengthened the bond between Benevolent Pavilion and Buddhism. In an era where faith reigns supreme, no force dares to easily interfere with a medical pavilion so intricately linked to Buddhism.
Therefore, Benevolent Pavilion still stands firm in this eventful autumn, becoming a revered and mysterious presence.
