Chapter 27: Helping Others
With such words, even Ah Zi, who was hiding aside and eavesdropping, felt pity, but Liu Siqi was unmoved.
I've heard these words many times. First your little master was born, then he was one year old, and then he was sensible, I listened to you again and again, and also renewed your wife's life, and now your little master is so old that he can already be on his own, but you still come to beg me. Do you really think that I am an immortal and can guarantee your wife's immortality? Liu Siqi's words were still full of indifference.
Ah Zi's heart also sank.
The person who came begged for a long time, until the sky turned white in the east, Liu Siqi had no intention of entanglement with him, and directly issued an eviction order, and then went to the main courtyard without looking back, leaving the man kneeling alone in the backyard.
Ah Zi wanted to step forward and help him up. Then I thought about it, in what capacity did I persuade him? What's more, now that she is Liu Siqi's disciple, how can she make her own initiative to contact him as a guest that the master has already refused.
In the end, Ah Zi decided to pretend that nothing had happened and went back to her room to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already dawn, Ah Zi hurriedly washed up, went out, and just wanted to find the master, but was blocked by Hui Niang.
"Sir is in a bad mood today, and I just told us not to disturb him." Hui Niang said, glancing twice in the direction of the study.
Ah Zi blinked and looked at Hui Niang, knowing that it was mostly because of last night's incident, but it was difficult to ask directly.
Hui Niang said directly: "I came to the guest in the middle of the night last night, and I was already asleep at that time, and when I got up in the morning, I saw him kneeling in the backyard." I went to ask Mr., but as soon as I started, Mr. was angrily kicked out, and asked me not to care about that person's affairs anymore, let him kneel there, and leave when he wants, if he doesn't want to, even if he dies here, we are not allowed to ask half a word. ”
Ah Zi frowned when he heard this, he just felt that the master was indifferent yesterday, but he didn't expect that today it sounded like he was a little ruthless.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Hui Niang said again: "I'll go prepare lunch first, you'd better act as if nothing happened, don't anger your master for this." ”
Ah Zi nodded, but he felt a little sympathy for the people in the backyard.
When it was time for lunch, Ah Zi thought about the people who were still kneeling outside, and stopped talking, but Liu Siqi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it.
In the afternoon, Ah Zi wanted to go to the backyard several times to have a look, but was stopped by Hui Niang.
"Now is not the time to relent. You sympathize with him and let him in, and it is Mr. Liu who suffers. Hui Niang said.
"But...... Isn't it true that we study medicine just to cure diseases and save people? Now that man is obviously in trouble, isn't it against the original intention of our healers that we will not be saved when we see death like this? Ah Zi said, her brows squeezed together.
Hui Niang sighed, shook her head and said, "How much do you know about the person kneeling outside?" A guy you met for the first time, you don't know anything about him, but you want to help him? We are here in Yaoxian Valley, not an ordinary medical hall pharmacy. There are so many patients in this world, but there is only one medical immortal, if everyone asks for Mr. and can finally get what they want, then won't our Medicine Immortal Valley be flattened? When that day really comes, do you think Mr. Liu can hold it alone? He doesn't have three heads and six arms, so he can't do everything. Only by refusing appropriately and giving Mr. more space can he go further. ”
Hui Niang's words are not unreasonable, but Ah Zi never let go.
"It's just...... Mr. doesn't have too many patients to treat recently, so it is said that he can spare some energy to help that person, right......" Ah Zi lowered his head and whispered.
Unexpectedly, Hui Niang heard her say this, and she was faintly angry: "Ah Zi, do you know what kind of patient the person who came asked Mr. to treat?" Do you think that person's illness is just an ordinary cold and flu, just grab a few pairs of medicine and let him take it back and boil it? Their wife should have gone ten years ago, and it was the husband who couldn't bear to help her continue her life, but do you know how much energy it takes to renew her life every time? Eight years ago, after the last time he helped them, he fell seriously ill and almost lost his life. And now you are saying such things......"
When Ah Zi heard this for the first time, her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly bowed her head and apologized, and said, "I don't know about these things, and you and Master never mentioned your past, so I lost my words for a while, and I blamed Master." It's because I'm ignorant and speculate about Master's character, and I'm not worthy of being Master's disciple at all. ”
Hui Niang saw that Ah Zicheng admitted her mistake, and said with pity: "I don't blame you." Your master won't bother with you for such a trivial matter. I just want you to remember that you don't do anything to hurt yourself and your master because of your temporary soft-heartedness. ”
Ah Zi nodded obediently, not daring to say anything more.
In the next few days, the people who came always knelt in the backyard and refused to leave, Ah Zi listened to Hui Niang's words and no longer dared to contact him without authorization, but he couldn't let go of his heart, and he couldn't even give up his mind to do things, and he didn't even have the interest to go to Lixin City.
Three days later, a heavy rain washed away the Medicine Immortal Valley, and the heavy rain that poured overnight finally broke the man kneeling in the backyard, leaving him unconscious in the middle of the courtyard.
Liu Siqi saw that if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die, so he reluctantly carried the man into the house and treated him in the guest room.
After passing through the hands of the medical fairy, the man came to his senses within half a day, and the fever on his body gradually subsided.
After Liu Siqi made sure that his body was fine, he said coldly: "You can get out of bed and get out of my place quickly." Medicine Immortal Valley can't tolerate a mouth to eat idle food. ”
Looking at Liu Siqi's back as he shook his hand and left, Ah Zi's heart was cold.
Is this still the Master she knew?
She recalled the first time she woke up in the Medicine Immortal Valley, and Liu Siqi came to her side gently like an immortal, smiling and bringing the medicine bowl in front of her.
At that time, she felt that she must have gone to heaven to see such a beautiful man.
But now, Master was so cruel to the patients who also came to the Medicine Immortal Valley, what did he do wrong? It's just that I need Master's help just like myself.
Ah Zi helped the visitor to sit up, handed him the porridge he had just brought in, and said, "Childe, drink this porridge while it's hot, you haven't eaten a grain of rice for three days, and if you don't eat something, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover." ”
The person on the bed took the porridge with trembling hands, drank it in one go, squeezed out a smile at Ah Zi, and said, "My surname is Yan, my name is fearless, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble these days." ”
