Chapter 15: Don't worry about idlers!
Old man Pang said lightly: "Don't worry about the matter of medicinal materials, there is no shortage of precious medicinal materials here......
Gonggong Wei sneered and said: "Master Pang, don't pretend anymore, look at the poor and sour way you live, even if there are any rare and exotic herbs in Jiangzhou, can you afford it......?"
Father-in-law Wei pulled his sharp throat and said ruthlessly: "Actually, if you don't want to go, Pang Ershui, as long as you can take out a passable medicinal herb at will, I will leave, and I will never disturb your rest, and I will definitely not interfere in the future, if you can't take it, then drive and follow my father-in-law to Jingzhou for a trip......"
The hands of the twenty silver-armored guards behind him all came to the hilt of the sword, and they were about to fight......
Everything is just waiting for Gonggong Wei's order-
"Master, you're really lively today, haha......" Jiang Changan came out and said with a smile.
Now that he is an official disciple of Pang Ershui, his title has naturally changed from "sir" to "master", and the meanings of the two words are very different.
Pang Ershui opened his eyes, looked at it twice, and narrowed again: "It's late......"
"You know, didn't you just come here and pick up a medicinal herb on the side of the road, so I thought I would let the master take a look at what it was......
Gonggong Wei glanced at the young man who was killed halfway, and sneered: "It's a joke, all elixirs are naturally raised in the blessed land, and they are picked up on the street, I'm afraid it's not a kid who can't even tell the difference between grass and medicine, I said Pang Ershui, it is rumored that you never accept apprentices, why did you accept an apprentice, and you are still a fool, haha......"
Grandpa Wei's smile froze instantly, and only a blue-blue herb left in his eyes that the little boy took out-
Even Old Man Pang was slightly surprised, looked at the herb, then looked at the disciple, and said: "This is the Xuanming Grass, the best of the best medicinal materials, born with three stages and divided into three colors, the first stage is vermilion, the second stage is orange and yellow, and the third stage is also the stage with the most medicinal effect, the color is blue, and the most important thing is that this medicine should have been extinct more than two thousand years ago......"
"Extinct!" Grandpa Wei was shocked, and at this moment, his old face was even more crisp than being slapped!
Immediately afterwards, he lowered his body and said with a smile: "Little brother, I wonder if this medicine can be sold to me?
Pang Ershui sneered: "A thousand taels of gold is enough to buy a leaf......
"Pang Ershui, you ......" Gonggong Wei originally wanted to bully this kid at a young age, and he could get it if he threw out some money.
Jiang Changan was also a little stunned, he didn't expect this thing to be so valuable, and said with a smile: "This old man, we have a lot of things in Jiangzhou, and I have seen a lot of them with my own eyes, what kind of herb looks like a hedgehog, and it looks like a ...... with a single leaf of a long snake."
Jiang Chang'an said that he had detailed all the medicinal herbs he had seen on the top of the mountain last night.
Pang Ershui frowned, wondering in his heart, these medicinal materials are similar to those recorded in ancient books, but there are only a few words in the book, even if the Jiang family's medicinal spectrum is complete, it has not reached this point.
The most shocking thing was Gonggong Wei, he didn't believe what this kid said, but that serious and simple smile always dispelled his suspicions.
Could it be that there are really so many miraculous medicines in Jiangzhou, Father-in-law Wei snorted coldly and said: "Even if there are so many miraculous medicines, in the end, it doesn't fall into the hands of the Jiang family, Old Man Pang, in the final analysis, you have nothing to do with this medicinal material! Speaking of the Jiang family, I heard that the wasted son who was divorced dared to beat the prince-in-law, but he was really bold! It is best not to let this father-in-law encounter it, otherwise even in this Jiang family's territory, he will not be able to eat and walk around......
Father-in-law Wei said with confidence, and saw that Pang Ershui's face was very exciting, and he pointed at Jiang Changan with a smile: "Unfortunately, this is the little boy of the Jiang family you said......
Gonggong Wei was slightly stunned!
I saw the little boy looking at him with a smile, blinking his smart eyes, the smile was very innocent, but it always felt cold in his eyes.
I heard that Wang Gonggong was beaten by him until he couldn't get out of bed for half a month, and the two were also at this distance at that time......
Gonggong Wei swallowed......
An old man and a young man stared at each other, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
In the end, it was Gonggong Wei who laughed and held Jiang Chang'an's hand: "Who can I be a disciple of Master Pang, it turned out to be Jiang Xiaogongzi, it is said that fourteen years ago, the old slave came to celebrate the little boy with the will of Emperor Jing, and the old slave still hugged you......
Eunuch Wei laughed as much as he wanted, Jiang Changan still smiled lightly, until the old man's laughter in front of him gradually became smaller-
The scene was even more awkward.
Finally, Grandpa Wei couldn't stand this kind of look, so he simply said a few polite words that he would not bother again, and left hastily with someone as if he were running away.
"Master, this old guy wants to go back to you?" Jiang Changan looked at the gray back and asked.
"It's Emperor Jing who wants me to go back, come in, they just brought some wine and food......" Pang Ershui only glanced at Yi Rou who was following behind him, and didn't say much.
Jiang Changan grinned and entered the hut, and the three of them gathered around a small table, took out a few plates of chicken, duck, fish, wine, bowls, bamboo chopsticks, and spread the broken wooden table that seemed to be broken at any time.
Jiang Changan followed Pang Ershui and poured a sip, but he didn't feel anything fragrant and mellow, pure as a orchid, only a spicy energy.
The spicy one quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food, and his face quickly turned red, although he has a deep study of the tea ceremony and knows nothing about wine, but he also knows when to drink it, and he can't spoil the fun.
"Master, did you say that there are immortals in this sky?" Jiang Changan asked casually.
Who knew that Old Man Pang looked up at the cloudless clear sky, which was very bright.
He looked at it dumbfounded for a while, and then spit out a word seriously: "There is-"
Jiang Changan was stunned and didn't react.
Whether there are immortals in the sky or not is a mystery that people have been pursuing and exploring for hundreds of thousands of years from the beginning of the world to the present day.
According to various historical records, there were indeed celestial beings in those years, but it is unknown why the immortal path gradually declined in the end.
Therefore, countless people plunged headlong into the path of cultivating immortals, but in the end, they did not find a real way to ascend.
"Cut—you really believe it!" Pang Ershui said with a sigh.
The old man looked up to the sky when he saw that the trick was successful, and said: "The strange power is chaotic, most of them are rumors, and the village man is talking nonsense, which is pure nonsense! Even if people in the world can carry a thousand catties, they are not able to move mountains and reclaim the sea, so ah, where are there any gods in the world!"
Although this answer is not very satisfying, it is also expected by Jiang Changan.
"Master, I don't understand, grandpa trusts you so much, but why can't even his old man talk about worshipping you as a teacher?" Jiang Changan asked.
Pang Ershui glanced at the direction of the Jiang family intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, he knows everything he should know......"
"Are you saying that grandpa knows that I learned Danshu from you?"
"Boy, this Jiangzhou, every grass and tree, every flower and tree, a gust of wind, and a drop of rain are all in the eyes of that old guy. That old fox never does loss-making business, and sends you to school, thinking that you kid can steal all the skills of the old man, haha......" Pang Ershui said with a smile.
Jiang Changan nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again: "Master, is alchemy really just for curing diseases and saving people?"
"Not so. Pang Ershui smiled: "Isn't it enough to cure the disease and save people? In this way, you can also protect those you have to protect......
"Does Master have someone you want to protect?"
Pang Ershui's hand holding the cup shook slightly, and after a long time, the folds squeezed into a smile: "There is ......"
Taking advantage of the fact that the wrinkles on his face were not scattered, the old man continued: "Life is in a hurry, it is a blessing to be able to find a person you want to protect, and it is even more fortunate to meet someone who is willing to protect yourself......
"Then what if two people stay with each other?" Even Jiang Changan himself couldn't understand why he was asking this strange question.
Old man Pang smiled even more, like the wheat growing in the ground was brilliant and golden, and his old and unserious posture was exerted to the extreme at this time.
He laughed like a demon for a long time and then fell into silence, his tone was flat and meaningful: "That's the world...... The best thing!"
At that moment, the old man's eyes revealed something that Jiang Changan had never seen before.
"Master wants to protect...... It's a woman, isn't it?"
Pang Ershui came back to his senses and took a deep breath: "Hey, why do you kid have so many problems today, and so much food and drink can't stop your mouth!"
Jiang Changan smirked and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Master, I will protect you in the future......"
Pang Ershui was slightly stunned and laughed louder.
It's just that he turned his back at some point, leaving Jiang Changan with a hunched back and a reflective head, and he could only vaguely see his hands rubbing something on his face from time to time.
Pang Ershui still vaguely remembered that once, there seemed to be someone who said such a thing.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Jiang Changan was a little drunk, and said: "I heard them say, when I was just full moon, there was a fortune teller who told my grandfather a hexagram, and he said that because one of my Jiang family killed too many people, and the karma was too heavy, even if I had a son, I was afraid that he would die." ”
"My eldest brother Jiang Xiaoru and my second brother Jiang Lingfeng are twin brothers, my eldest brother was born with a leg disease, and was sent to a mountain with a miracle doctor to recuperate, I haven't seen each other a few times since I can remember, I am also a crippled body, and my life is not long. But fortunately, the fortune teller said that the second son of my Jiang family, that is, my second brother, can live a long time, and his life is very good......"
He smiled more happily than he said himself.
In the entire Jiang family, the person who knows him best and loves him the most is none other than Jiang Lingfeng, the second brother known as the genius of Jiangzhou.
Pang Ershui silently picked up vegetables and drank, as if he hadn't heard it from beginning to end, which made Jiang Changan want to confide in his words that had been aggrieved for many years.
"If I can, I really hope to cure my own illness, and then cure my eldest brother's illness......" His tone was full of longing and longing, "I want to go out for a walk and take a look at the world outside Jiangzhou, not in the name of the son of the Jiang family, but in the ordinary name of Jiang Chang'an." ”
He was finally able to say the truth from the bottom of his heart.
The shame of the Jiang family, the debauchery of the family, and the son of a ruined family......
He ignored all kinds of bad words and comments over the years, which doesn't mean that he doesn't care.
"Childe ......" Yi Rou, who was standing behind him pouring wine, whispered softly, her heart was touched, she stretched out her hand to touch his shoulder, looked at the maid's dress on her body, and retracted her sleeves.
Old man Pang wrinkled his red nose, rubbed the oil stains with his hand again, shook his long sleeves, and said freely: "Good boy, for your meal and these words, today's training is free of ......"
"No, Master taught me that being a man and doing things is like alchemy, how can I give up halfway......" Jiang Changan said and was about to get up with the strength of wine, and after trying a few times, he sat back weakly.
Pang Ershui smiled with satisfaction and said, "The old man is saying to have a good rest today, and at night, wake up!"
"Wake up!" With a bang, two words exploded in Jiang Changan's mind, and most of the wine was gone-
