Chapter 10: The Four Elders' Herb Lesson

When Xuan Gui was surrounded by servants and walked into the school, Tang Xiaobai had already found a place near the window with Nansui and sat down. Seeing Xuan Gui coming in, Nan Sui hurriedly slapped Tang Xiaobai with his elbow, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Look at it, that person is Senior Brother Xuan Gui!"

Nansui was very excited, and her eyes lingered on Hyungui, as if she was glued, and she couldn't take it off.

"Look, it's good-looking, isn't it?" Nansui pushed Xiaobai again, "Look at it, look at it, Senior Brother Xuangui is the most beautiful man in this faction." ”

Tang Xiaobai couldn't resist her, and finally raised his eyes and swept lightly.

Nansui watched Hyun Gyu's tall figure walk to the last row and sit down, and finally reluctantly took his gaze back, and sighed, "I said Xiaobai, isn't there anything in this world that can attract you?" This question has really been held in her heart for a long time, and she wants to know what Xiaobai likes now?

"Nope. Tang Xiaobai did not hesitate for a moment, and answered directly. "What is the herb class?"

Nansui pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and replied, "It's probably the content of the scriptures, it's boring anyway." ”

While the two were talking, the fourth elder had already walked into the school, he was a serious and unsmiling middle-aged man, and after walking in, he first stood at the front of the lecture hall and glanced down with a calm face. The noisy students instantly became quiet.

The four elders nodded with satisfaction, didn't say much, spread out the book on the table, cleared his throat and read, "Wen stem wood, fruit like jujube, astringent taste, warm nature, can cure ear diseases...... Bai Juan, the shape is like grain, its juice is like lacquer, the taste is sweet like syrup, and it can relieve labor......"

Nansui glanced at Tang Xiaobai helplessly, and spread her hands at her, as if to say: Look at me, this lesson is very boring.

... As the course progressed, the sun rose higher and higher, and a breeze blew through the window, rustling the leaves. The classroom was extremely quiet, and time was flowing more and more slowly at this moment, and with the low and sleepy tones of the four elders, most of the students began to become groggy, and only a few were still cheering up and continuing to listen to the lecture.

Nansui yawned quietly, looking dejected. She had already slept on weekdays, but she didn't eat breakfast today and was so hungry that she couldn't sleep, so she had to force her mental probe to look left and right, trying to find something to do for herself. Nansui looked around and found that the people around him had basically fallen asleep, and only Tang Xiaobai next to him was still listening to the class.

It was the first time that Nansui noticed that Xiaobai, who had been bedridden for a month, had lost so much. The previous baby fat on her face is gone, her chin is also a lot sharper, and with the green gown of the water lake, the whole person looks more and more crystal clear, like a dazzling glass bead.

The light outside the window shone in, hitting Tang Xiaobai softly, reflecting a focused and serious side face, which looked beautiful and clean. Nansui propped her head with her arms and turned her face to look at her. I was a little crazy for a while.

As if sensing that Nansui's gaze had been falling on him, Tang Xiaobai frowned slightly and said softly, "Listen to the class." ”

This sentence was nothing, but it sounded very clearly in the silent school, and the four elders who were reading from the script heard it, and suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Who is talking!"

This roar in his throat instantly frightened the dreaming classmates, and at the same time frightened a few crows in the treetops outside the window, screaming and flapping their wings and flying away.

The students who were awakened were sleepy-eyed and looked at each other, and I don't know which disciple who didn't have long eyes dared to speak in the herb class, disturbing people's dreams.

The fourth elder stared at Tang Xiaobai's location with scrutinizing eyes and asked, "Is it Nansui?"

Nansui hurriedly shook his head into a rattle.

"It's me. Tang Xiaobai stood up and replied.

Wow, it's her again. There was a commotion among the students, and everyone exchanged heads and talked about it.

"Silence!!" the fourth elder shouted angrily, his face full of displeasure. "Why do you talk in class?"

Tang Xiaobai was silent.

The students began to whisper among themselves again.

"Quiet, quiet!!" the four elders had no choice but to suppress this group of energetic young men with their majesty again.

"Why don't you speak? What's your name?"

"Her name is Tang Xiaobai!" replied to the fast-talking student. Another burst of laughter came.

"Tang Xiaobai?" the four elders thought for a moment, "Tang Xiaobai of the water system?"

"Yes. Tang Xiaobai looked at the eyes of the four elders squarely, and replied without humility or arrogance.

The fourth elder snorted coldly, "Tang Xiaobai, you don't respect your elders when you speak in class, but because I have learned everything I taught?"

"Yes. Tang Xiaobai said.

What a big breath. This time, not only the students, but even the four elders raised their eyebrows in surprise. dared to boast about such big words in his class, Tang Xiaobai was the first person.

Another whisper sounded, and some of the students laughed disdainfully, some watched the change, and some followed suit, only three of them were different from the others.

Feng Ji looked at the book in his hand expressionlessly, as if he didn't notice what was happening in the outside world at all, Nansui quietly tugged at the corner of the little white clothes under the table with a worried face, and Hyungui, who was sitting in the last row, was still sleeping on the table, showing no sign of waking up.

"Shut up!" The fourth elder looked at the group of lawless and noisy students with a headache, took out a long ring ruler from the storage bag, and slapped the table a few times in warning, making a crisp sound.

When everyone's voices were a little weaker, the four elders looked at Tang Xiaobai again and said, "You said that you can do it, but there is no basis for what you say, I will test you today." If you answer, this matter will be over, if you can't answer..."Before the four elders finished speaking, another student who was not afraid of death quickly answered, "brushing the stable", "brushing the toilet", "expelling the teacher"... The four elders glared at the group of students angrily, and said in a deep voice, "Just copy the Hundred Herbs Sutra ten times." ”

"Shhhhh Immediately, there was a discontent among the students.

"Sir, please take the test. Tang Xiaobai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke, as calm as if he hadn't heard those malicious punishment suggestions. On the contrary, it was Nan Sui, who turned his face indignantly and rolled his eyes vigorously at the disciples who were the most cheerful, for fear that his anger would not be accurately transmitted.

The four elders pondered for a moment and asked, "What are the colors, shapes, and flavors of the sand begonia?"

Tang Xiaobai blurted out and debuted, "Huanghua is red, its taste is like a plum without a seed, and its shape is like a tang, so it is a sand begonia." ”

"There is grass that grows on stones, or it grows on trees, and it looks like a black leek, what is this grass, and what is its function?"

"Li, eating it can cure heart paralysis. ”

The Fourth Elder nodded, and then asked, "What is the medicinal effect of the Ciche Grass?"

"Food prevents a man from having children. ”

"What's the explanation?"

"Take the dew drops on Du Heng leaves in the early morning and mash them with the truth of white oaks, decoction for 12 hours and then take them, and dissolve them after three days. ”

The fourth elder shook his head, "No, the grass is cold, and there is no solution. Only with aconite, angelica, fairy grass and other more than a dozen flavored warm herbs decoction, for half a year, or can be effective. As for what you said about Bai Qi, I have never heard of it. ”

Tang Xiaobai explained, "Bai Qi grows on Chongwu Mountain, where the temperature is extremely high, far beyond the tolerance of people, so it is not common in the city. ”

The Fourth Elder wondered, "Then how did you find out?"

Tang Xiaobai was silent for a long time, and then said, "I forgot." ”

There was a chorus of boos.
