Under the attention of several juniors and disciples, I followed Master Chen all the way to the inner room of the medical hall without saying a word.

I left the Renzen Hall and went to the palace for dozens of days.

Walking into the inner room, I found that Master Chen had only been back for one night, and the furnishings had changed significantly compared to the impression left on me before leaving.

It's not that I have an amazing memory, it's that I have to pay attention to what I see!

Seeing that my eyes kept looking at the pile of large and small wooden boxes placed in the corner of the room, Master Chen beckoned me to follow.

I followed him to the hill of boxes, curious about what was inside.

Master Chen squatted down and opened the top boxes, and my eyes were stunned.

Immediately, I looked down at Master Chen and said, "Teacher, are you going to go far away?" ”

Master Chen pointed out to me the brand-new sets of acupuncture and moxibustion utensils in the box, plus the box opened on the other side was full of well-proportioned medicinal herb packets.

I saw with sharp eyes that there were still the bags that Master Chen used to pack clothes when he came out of the palace.

This package is still the same as when it left the palace, and it has no intention of being placed and sorted out at all, which means that it will be useful immediately.

There were all kinds of indications that he was planning to go on a long trip, and that he should have gone to practice medicine.

"Xiaolin," Master Chen walked up to me, raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, "You also saw it in the warehouse just now, in front of that batch of cars from the south, because of the waterlogging during this time, the road overturned over the mountains, entrainment of mud and sand. ”

"The teacher talked to the shopkeeper of Renshantang about the disaster in the south last night, and the strictest one was Jianghuai, which was relatively close to Yingtian."

"The river burst a few openings, flooding a large area of the town in just a few breaths. The affected refugees fled to the north of Jianghuai. ”

I was terrified to hear how many innocent lives there were overnight!

"A friend who lives in Jianghuai City sent a letter to him, saying that there is a shortage of doctors and medicines."

"Last night I talked to the shopkeeper in detail about the middle of the night. It's for this purpose. ”

As soon as he said that, my heart tightened, and when I heard this, I could already guess what he was going to do next!

"Teacher." A hint of hesitation flashed in my eyes, "You're so old, you still have to go to the hardest hit places." ”

"Shopkeeper, how can you let you go with confidence?"

"Xiaolin, after this palace incident, the master has thought more clearly, no matter how high the power position, in the end it is just a handful of loess, and the master wants to take advantage of his lifetime. can apply the medical skills of the three-legged cat to more people. ”

Master Chen's eyes were firm, but his tone was humble. It's not loud. But with unquestionable certainty!

"The shopkeeper's intention is to let people escort me to Jianghuai, and when the time comes, I will prepare to open a branch library of Renshantang there."

Branches? I heard it at first glance. There was a sigh in my heart, and I had a plan. The face is impassive.

Master Chen said in a gentle tone: "Yingtian is under the imperial city, but the location is close to the north, too far from the south, it is difficult to help the villagers in the south. ”

This is a big event to open a new museum, and I naturally know that it is very meaningful, but I can't suppress the worry about the teacher in my heart, and I always feel that I am so old

It is better to enjoy your old age in Yingtian City.

On one side of the wall of the inner room of the medical hall, there was a map of Yingtian, and my eyes swept in the direction of the map, knowing that what he said was reasonable, but I couldn't get over that hurdle in my heart!

I bowed my head and said nothing, Master Chen saw the entanglement in my heart, he lovingly stroked my head and said, "Good boy, for the teacher to know what you are worried about, I came to you, but I want to ask you something." “

I looked up and looked at Master Chen, and before he could say it, I suddenly understood what he meant by looking for me.

At that moment, without rash refusal or promise, I whispered: "Teacher, you allow me to think about it for a day, you should not have time to leave today, you can always afford to wait for me to make a decision." "If I go to Jianghuai with you, I will be diligent and be your right and left hand, but I have some worries in my heart, and if you let me think about it, I will do my best to reply to you."

Master Chen said with relief: "My apprentice is the most keen, and he doesn't need to bother for his teacher. "I called you, not to force you to come with me, but to tell you my intentions, and the decision is entirely up to you."

"Xiaolin, if you stay, I will let another doctor in the medical hall take you, and in a few years, you can also become a qualified doctor in Yingtian's Renshan Hall." "If you decide to follow me to Jianghuai, you must be prepared to endure hardships." "It may not be as prosperous as Yingtian, and life is not as convenient as this." "Renshantang branch library has to prepare for the opening, and it will take a lot of energy to prepare." "From my selfish point of view, I hope that you will follow me, but I am also a little reluctant to suffer with my little disciples."

"Don't say that, I went to live in the mountains for a long time, and you still think I'm a rich kid who has been staying comfortably in Yingtian?"

Chen Shi smiled heartily and said: "Xiaolin, you have always been a girl, you can't say that you are a rich child, you are a rich girl." "Teacher, you almost broke it just now, remember to help me keep it secret."

I glanced at him, recalling the scene that he had almost broken at the door of the storeroom earlier, and said with a slightly depressed feeling of dissatisfaction in my eyes. "Okay, I'll pay attention to it next time."

At the end of the morning's cleaning in the medicine store, I was completely disgraced, and I turned my head to look at a few senior brothers, who were not much better than me.

The pillar poured a bowl of water and handed it to me to drink: "Xiaolin, let's go to the backyard to cool off in a while, it's already hot." “

I was wiping the sweat from my head, but my mind drifted out of the sky, and I suddenly came back to my senses, and the bowl I was holding in my hand was so frightened that I almost didn't break it! "Ah, no, no, I'll just wipe my sweat."

The little junior brother who was working with us came over and raised his hand to support me: "Senior brother, why are you squirming and pinching like a girl, go to take a shower together, and work again in the afternoon." “

My hairs stood on end, and my nervous heart was about to jump out for a while!

What he said was all too familiar. A certain annoying woman in the palace said exactly the same thing to me.

What should I do now? I clutched my neckline tightly, for fear that these people would take off my shirt on impulse, and before entering the palace, I saw the picture of these brothers and sisters doing this to each other more than once, bare-chested. "Go and wash. I shower at home every night, no need."

While making excuses, I pushed my brother's outstretched hand away! "The teacher said that after cleaning up the medicinal herbs, he asked me to help pack my luggage. You've all heard of it. “

Fortunately, I turned around quickly, and when I mentioned this topic, the pillar and several other brothers and sisters were silent. "Xiaolin, did Dr. Chen tell you that he wanted you to accompany him to Jianghuai?" The pillar pushed away a few people around me, leaned in and asked hesitantly.

He stood in front of me, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at the backyard where Dr. Chen lived, and said in a low voice, "If you can refuse, try not to go." "Why?" I looked at him strangely. Master Chen was respected in the medical center. How this time the decision was made. Are the people in the museum dissatisfied?

"What else could it be?" The little junior brother who was about to take me away and go to the shower together just now said, "You went to the palace." I don't know the news from the south. ”

"There was a lot of water in the Jianghuai area, and many people died. I heard, I just heard that after the floods, there will be an epidemic. ”

The little junior brother's face was tense, and his eyes were solemn: "To put it nicely, I want to open a branch library, but if it's ugly, it's still a question of whether I can come back alive." ”

"Senior brother, if you can, try not to go, for the sake of safety."

Several of them unanimously objected to me following Master Chen to Jianghuai, my brows furrowed, and I lowered my voice and said, "It's good to talk about it in private, so you can't let Master Chen hear." ”

"How chilling it would be if he knew." I closed my eyes and opened them again, my face stiffened and whispered, "He is an old man who is highly respected in Yingtian, and his reputation is spread by the voice of the well-healed patients." ”

"He was able to make the decision to go to Jianghuai because he has always put the word medicine in front of him all his life, which is more important than anything else."

The hand blowing beside me clenched my fist gently, and I straightened my back and raised my voice a little:

"I don't have that kind of mind to myself, but as a member of the Renshan Hall, as his disciple, I can't fall too far behind." "Xiaolin, could it be that you have already agreed to the decision to go to Jianghuai?" The pillar asked me suddenly, his tone sounding a little anxious. "Not yet, I told Master Chen, I have some things to deal with in Yingtian, but at most tomorrow, I will give him an answer, go or not."

I stated in a calm tone.

For a moment, there was silence in the warehouse, and the brothers were silent, and after a long time, the pillar turned his head and looked at me with an inquiring gaze and said, "Xiaolin, you must think about it, think clearly." ”

"Yes." I nodded, "Brother Zhuzi, I will think it through, and I won't do things on the spur of the moment." "If you want to go, you will definitely do your best to assist Master Chen, and before you go, you must also arrange the affairs of Yingtian."

I don't say anything, in fact, they have somewhat guessed the decision in my heart!

Walking on the alley street paved with blue bricks, it was already dark, and I walked slowly along the long street back to the small courtyard where I lived.

Counting the days, I've been in Yingtian for so many months, and it was only yesterday that I actually had my own cabin.

But now, I haven't even had time to take a good look at that deed, and in the blink of an eye, I'm going to leave this new home that belongs to me again.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but lead to a smile, is this the rhythm of not being able to keep money and asking for hardship?

Think about how someone would react to my decision if they were around me.

Turning a corner, the carriage stopped under the big locust tree, and I recognized the familiar sign above me, and there was no evasion, and there was nowhere to avoid!

When I walked under the big locust tree, I didn't stand still, and the curtain of the car was lifted instantly!

The man inside leaned out halfway, stretched out his hand, and pulled me into the carriage

(ps: Staying in the city, not going to the most remote places, it's unbelievable that there is such a save in this life - there is a feeling)
