The boy who woke up turned his head to look, and hurriedly got out of bed to help the old woman, and asked, "Old woman, did you save me?" I remember that I fell into the brook and fainted. ”

The old woman smiled kindly, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Yes, the old woman went out to collect medicine, and when she saw you lying on the side of the stream in front of my house, she picked you up." ”

"Ahh Your doorstep?"

Chen Ping'an looked at her in surprise, he remembered that there were no other villages near the creek outside the village, this was obviously not Baili Village, he had never seen the old woman at all, it couldn't be a person from the village.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "Old woman, what kind of village is this, my family lives in Baili Village, not far from here?"

"Baili Village" The old woman smiled and said kindly: "It's far away, Baili Village is on the other side of the 100,000 Mountain, that is the boundary of Yingzhou, here is the border between Jingzhou and Liangzhou, the distance between the two places should be tens of thousands of miles." ”

The little boy was stunned, and couldn't figure out how the stream outside the village could float him so far, although he didn't know where the stream was going, but it was obviously not right to flow so far.

The old woman seemed to know his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, all the rivers and streams in the world will eventually flow to the sea, and it's not normal to drift so far." ”

After all, he is still a child, only eleven years old, and he grew up in a small village, he has not had the opportunity to read at all these years, and he can recognize words and words are all learned before the age of five.

"Child, what's your name, who else is there in the family, you can only wait for you to grow up, and the family will be worried and can't do anything, the old woman is old and can't afford to send you back." ”

Hearing the old woman's gentle question, Chen Ping'an, who had not experienced warmth for a long time, couldn't help crying, there was no one to tell about the suffering since childhood, and now this question gave him a person to talk to.

After finishing speaking, he was tired of crying, he suddenly remembered about his stomach, wiped his face indiscriminately, and asked the old woman with teary eyes: "Mother-in-law, my... How did my big belly get smaller?,I remember that my stomach was hit before I fainted.,Is it a good bump?。。。 ”

The old woman laughed and said: "Silly child, your stomach should have been infused by the demon flame blood in the mother's womb, and it happened that the old woman had a herbal medicine to cure, so she poured medicine into you, and now you should be cured." ”

"Ahh This... This ... ”

Chen Ping'an was so shocked that he almost jumped up, looked at the old woman, tears fell again, and cried and said, "Old woman... Whining... Thank you... I... I'm finally well... You can act like a normal person. . . Whining... ”

The old woman looked at him kindly, touched his head and comforted: "Child, cry, don't cry again after crying, the suffering will pass, people must know how to look forward in order to live and be happy." ”

The boy nodded while crying, and gradually the cry became quieter, and slowly turned into a choked voice, and finally stopped, wiped his face and looked up at the old woman hopefully, and begged: "Mother-in-law, I have no home and no relatives, can you keep me? I will work, as long as I eat a little food." ”

The old woman smiled, nodded and said kindly: "Okay, it's okay to stay, just follow me to collect medicine, otherwise after a hundred years of the old woman, these crafts can only be brought into the coffin." ”

The boy blushed excitedly, nodded desperately, and swore seriously: "Mother-in-law, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely collect a lot of medicines... I won't eat much... ”

The old woman touched his head, gently let him go to rest again, and he was going to work from tomorrow, he turned around and went out, and sighed softly outside the door: "Terran, even the cubs don't know how to protect them, the beasts are stronger than them, but they can reproduce, it can be seen that this heavenly way is not long-sighted." ”

After sighing, the old woman looked up at the sky, silently distracted for a long time, her face changed and struggled, gradually calmed down, and said to herself again: "Okay, this child's life is hard, then see if you have this qualification, if you don't have this, you can complain about the sky, life, no one is easy." ”

Chen Ping'an stayed, he had nothing to worry about, staying here is better than being bullied to death by the children in the village, the suffering since childhood made him more sensible and obedient.

The old woman took him to pick herbs every day, taught him to know various herbs, and exercised physical skills in the morning, which is the right of every child in the Star Continent, no one will strip off this right, and the same is true for the old woman.

After training in the morning, he followed the old woman to collect medicine, took lunch to the mountains to eat, and did not come back until the evening, and in the evening the old woman would teach him to learn the medicinal properties and pharmacology of various herbs, and how to dispense medicine to treat diseases.

A thick pharmacopoeia looks very simple, he doesn't recognize many words, but fortunately the old woman taught him patiently, and this book has become both a book for him to read and write, and a classic for him to learn pharmacological knowledge.

"Ping'an" just finished eating this day, Chen Ping'an was about to clean up, and later went to collect medicine, his mother-in-law called him and said, "Don't be busy today, come and tell your mother-in-law about something." ”

"Oh, here, what's going on with my mother-in-law, Ping An will definitely try to do it. ”

He has gained a lot of weight in the past year, and he no longer has the appearance of yellow muscles and thin muscles, but he also does not have the fat appearance when he was a child, and his delicate facial features are not very handsome, but they are very comfortable to look at.

With a smile in the corner of her eyes, the mother-in-law was very satisfied with the child's well-behavedness, and said gently: "Now that your cultivation is on the right track, although it is not fast, but it has caught up with normal people, my mother-in-law thinks you should learn something else." ”

"Ahh Mother-in-law, I just started learning pharmaceutical techniques, and it won't be too miscellaneous to start learning other things before I get started. ”

In the past year, his mother-in-law has been very good to him, and slowly he dares to tell the truth to his mother-in-law and put forward his own opinions, but he doesn't dare to resist disobedience, and he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to lose the only person who doesn't beat and scold him.

The mother-in-law smiled kindly, nodded and praised him for saying that his idea was right, but the conversation changed and said: "Ping'an, you can learn the pharmacopoeia casually, pharmaceutical technology is just the foundation of a pharmacist, but your mother-in-law doesn't want you to become a pharmacist, you have to learn the spirit pattern technique." ”

"Spirit Pattern Technique" Chen Ping'an's eyes widened in surprise, this is the most difficult skill for monks to master, it is more difficult than alchemy, although the pharmacist on the continent is as noble as the spirit pattern master, but the spirit pattern master is indeed more difficult than the pharmacist, and the number of people is smaller.

The mother-in-law was not surprised by his surprise, and said with a smile: "Silly child, although my mother-in-law can use medicine, she is not a pharmacist, and only the spirit pattern technique has a complete inheritance, so you can only learn this to have hope of growth." ”
