In the early hours of the morning, Mu Bai in his sleep suddenly woke up, and for some reason, he always felt that he couldn't sleep peacefully in his heart!

"Could it be that something happened to my father?"

Mu Bai secretly thought in his heart that at the age of nine, he seemed precocious and wise beyond ordinary people, and even Mr. Teaching praised him a lot.

Thinking of this, Mu Bai hurriedly got dressed and went to call his mother.

After speaking, the young woman's face was obviously a little tighter, and she looked at Mu Bai with a sad expression and said: "Bai'er, when I heard you say this, my mother also feels that something is happening in my heart, you hurry up and call you Uncle Lin, and ask him to find Nanzi and Da Mao to go to the mouth of Jiulian Valley to have a look." ”

Okay, mother, you're waiting, I'll go find Uncle Lin. Mu Bai replied!

"Mother!

Mu Bai, who had just come out of the courtyard, cried into the house! The woman who ran over was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she fell to the ground, and there was a man lying on his stomach at the door, covered with scars, and the ground was stained red with blood. The man in front of him was none other than her husband Mu Cheng, and the man lying in a pool of blood was dying at the moment.

"Mu'er, for the father... Feel... Something might change here!"

"You... And your mother... Go as soon as possible... Legend has it there... There are immortals... Blessing... Bless, you've gone there... Read well, don't... No... Like Dad, he lives on the knife every day!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, the young woman's tears couldn't stop flowing!

Suddenly, Mu Bai seemed to think of something, and looked at his mother and said, "Mother, you look at Daddy, I'll go to the town and call the doctor over." ”

"Daddy, you must hold on!

After saying that, he got up and ran towards the town, crying as he ran, for a nine-year-old boy, his father's figure was as tall as a mountain, and the gods were omnipotent, but at this time, the immortal god in Mu Bai's heart fell.

Mu Cheng, who was in a pool of blood, looked at Mu Bai running back, stretched out his right hand as if he wanted to say something, but no matter how hard he tried, his slightly open mouth could no longer make a sound.

By the time the doctor arrived, it was already too late, and the doctor shook his head, turned around and left without saying a word, leaving only the mother and son crying in front of the corpse.

Because Mu Bai is young, and it is not easy for a woman to come forward to preside over the funeral, everything is handled by Mu Bai's Uncle Lin. After three days of mourning, because he thought of his father's last words, Mu Bai hastily settled the matter of filial piety, and only wore sackcloth.

On another five days, the mother and son discussed selling the house, until Uncle Lin and Uncle Nanzi retrieved six wolf skins for some silver, packed up and thanked everyone, and then Mu Bai and his mother rushed to Xiaoshan City.

At this moment, Mu Bai on the ox cart looked back at Fuyuan Town, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Before leaving, he also went to the town and told the steward his father's dying words, "Those who speak have intentions, but those who listen have no intentions," and the man just smiled and responded.

Now Mu Bai on the ox cart also understands the meaning of that person, and there are two reasons for thinking about it, one is that it is difficult to leave his homeland, and second, in the eyes of the other party, how can a nine-year-old baby be credulous!

Ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, ferries, walking, Mu Bai's mother and son have been in a hurry for more than a month. Finally arrived at the city of Xiaoshan, for the two people who had not seen much of the world, the scene in front of them was really shocking, the Xiaoshan city wall in front of them was about seven or eight zhang high, the width was invisible, I don't know how much! From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon lying on the ground, there were nearly 100 soldiers at the city gate, and there were all kinds of commodities on the side of the road, which made Mu Bai dazzled for a while.

I often heard my father talk about this majestic giant city, but when I didn't want to come with my mother, my father was no longer there, and Mu Bai couldn't help but cry when he thought of this.

Looking at the prosperity in front of him, Mu Bai turned to his mother and said, "Mother!"

"This is still the case outside the city of Xiaoshan, the city must be more prosperous, if we don't sell the family property and the wolf skin some silver taels, maybe we can't even find a place to live, you see the sun is about to set, let's go to the city quickly to find a place to live, so as not to sleep on the streets at night." ”

The woman stared at her son in front of her and said tenderly: "Listen to Mu'er, my mother has never read and is illiterate, you can decide these things." ”

"!"

"You can come here! Don't you look at it, where is this! This is Juxiang Building!"

"Look at yourself, dressed like a beggar, and dressed in sackcloth, why did I not guard you just now, and let you run to the store. ”

"What a bad luck!"

Mu Bai looked at this shopkeeper who was full of disdain and insulting him, and couldn't help but clench his fists and roar angrily: "Don't you just rely on yourself to have a boss with money! Today, you see that my mother and son are poor, and they shouldn't be insulted like this! Which rich man didn't start from a small end?"

"Is there a kind of prince and general Xiangning?", "You look down on people so much, be careful that he offends big people in the future." ”

Mu Bai's few loud questions attracted several onlookers, and the number gradually increased, supporting Mu Bai.

The shopkeeper didn't expect a nine-year-old boy to be so eloquent, looking at the gradually increasing crowd, the little boy who knew that he was in a bad position muttered and walked into the store quickly, and there was no sound.

At this time, the mother, who had never spoken, said to Mu Bai: "Mu'er, let's go, change places, don't mess with these individuals when we first arrive, it's useless to worry about them, just find a place to live." ”

Looking at the crowd that dispersed, Mu Bai couldn't help but shake his head, there was never a shortage of people when watching the excitement, and no one reached out when they needed real help.

The mother and son searched for a few hours, and asked everywhere to find a dilapidated yard, the legend is that the house is haunted and no one has lived in it, otherwise Mu Bai Niang and his wife are afraid that they will not be able to find a suitable place to live, after all, the two do not have a lot of money.

In this way, the mother and son settled down in Xiaoshan City, and lived by relying on their mother's needlework.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Mu Bai's mother's lung disease often attacked, and there was no stable financial source, and her mother's income alone could no longer meet her daily expenses.

Looking at the bright sun, Mu Bai was full of sorrow, today is the beginning of spring, his mother's illness is serious again, he fell on the bed and coughed up blood, Mu Bai was sad but there was no way, and when he first came to Xiaoshan City, he didn't know anything about this huge place, so he had to find a medical hall in Dongcheng one by one, and asked passers-by one by one, but unfortunately he was unwilling to help him when he entered several medical centers, just because he couldn't even afford the basic consultation fee, let alone grab medicine.

Without money, in this Xiaoshan City, it can be said that "the sky should not be called, and the earth is not spiritual." ”

"But my mother's illness still needs to be cured, what should I do!" Mu Bai shouted desperately as he knelt on the street.

"It is in times of despair that light is so precious."

A voice with vicissitudes of life but a deep voice sounded: "Boy!"

"Take the old man to see your mother, maybe the old man can help you." ”

Mu Bai looked up when he heard the sound, and a white-bearded old man stood in front of him, although he was old, he was full of energy, and there was a middle-aged scribe standing behind him, I don't know if it was the old man's son or apprentice.

Mu Bai was stunned at the moment, and he was thinking about other people's affairs.

"Hey, boy, lead the way, what's the fuss!" the middle-aged man behind the old man scolded.

"Oooh!"

Mu Bai hurriedly got up, how could he still care about the etiquette, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, come with me", and trotted all the way as he spoke, don't look at the old man's age, he walked with a dragon and a tiger, and it was effortless to keep up with Mu Bai, who was trotting in front.

After some diagnosis, the old man couldn't help frowning, looked at Mu Bai and said earnestly: "Your mother's lung disease has long been suffered, and it has been delayed until today, the root of the disease is deep, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of it, according to the old man's method, he can only barely continue his life." ”

"Young man, the old man advises you to give up early!"

No! No! As the old man's last words spoke, Mu Bai knelt on the ground and burst into tears, pleading: "Grandpa, you must have a way, you can heal my mother, you will definitely be able to do it, grandpa! I am such a relative, please save my mother! Save my mother!"

"I can do anything, I can make a horse for your cow, I am especially hard-working."

Mu Bai said goodbye, and in an instant, his forehead was broken, and a trace of blood was leaking out!

Seeing this, the old man was also moved with compassion, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Bai, and said with a unbearable face: "I will heal your mother, you help your mother up, and go to the old man's hospital to live first." ”

Then he turned his head to look at the middle-aged scribe behind him and said, "Qin Shan, you quickly go back and boil two doses of decoction according to this recipe, and I and this child will arrive later." ”

"Disciple knows," replied the middle-aged scribe.

Later, Mu Bai lived in the medical hall and learned that the old man was a famous doctor in the eastern city of Xiaoshan, surnamed Qin, whose name was Ji, and who was a man who hung a pot to help the world! Qin Lao pursued the idea of treating people when they were sick, and often helped poor people, Mu Bai's mother was not the first case, and naturally it would not be the last, and Qin Lao's Huairen Pharmacy was also famous for his heart to help the world.

......

Time flies, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, Mu Bai is already a young man, looking at it from a distance, he is more than seven feet tall, with waist-length black hair, which is even more stylish, if others don't ask about age, they think it is a weak crown years!

Just two years ago, Mu Bai's mother couldn't support it anymore! she passed away, and all the funeral needs were helped by Qin Lao.

After the mourning, Mu Bai still followed the old man Qin Ji to learn medical skills, and the old man Qin personally taught and saved the link of asking Mr. to teach, but fortunately, Mu Bai was smart and quick-witted, and he was deeply loved by the old man Qin.

It's another year of early autumn, and this season happens to be the season of collecting medicine, the old man Qin has never been negotiable in the matter of collecting medicine, and he must go every year, although the old man Qin is now eighty, but a few disciples can't persuade him, so they have to invite the martial arts strong Orion and the old man to go with him every time to take care of his safety.

Originally, the three Orions accompanied Old Qin on this trip, but under Mu Bai's begging, Old Man Qin had no choice but to take him with him.

Seeing the route out, Mu Bai scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "Grandpa", "Where did you say we are going to collect medicine this time, this direction is very different from the place you went in previous years." ”

"Mu'er, how can there be medicine that has been collected in one place, some drugs only take one year to mature, and some drugs need dozens of years to mature, and the effect of medicine is naturally lighter if it is not in a year, and it cannot reach the level of treating patients. ”

Along the way, Mu Bai asked many questions, not only about medicines, but also about many strange anecdotes that people didn't know.

"Old Man Qin!"

A hunter bowed down and asked, "Will we go to Xiaoshan to collect medicine and collide with the immortals in the mountains, it is said that the immortals there have a bad temper, if they are disturbed, how about the immortals to punish them at that time?"

Qin Lao looked at Orion and replied slowly: "Our trip is just to pick some ordinary herbs, and we don't break into the immortal mansion, we won't offend the immortals, I have come to this Xiaoshan no less than ten times in my life, and I have never disturbed the immortals, let alone punishment." ”

"As long as we are careful in this trip, the immortals in that sect will not pay attention to us. ”

Hearing the word immortal, Mu Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a baby.
