"Now, I'm just wondering, is that what you just said serious, or is it a joke?" Yan Xingzhi also knew that his actions just now were a bit rude, and after trying to control it for a while, he suppressed some of the sharpness in his eyes, his expression calmed down a little, and his attitude became sincere again.

After Liao Shi pondered for a while, he stroked the short beard on his chin and said, "My expression when I spoke just now was quite serious, I wasn't joking, how could you think ......?"

Before Liao Shi finished speaking, Yan Xingzhi laughed, and then said to Liao Shi: "I will talk to my grandfather about this matter immediately after I go back, as long as he agrees, you have to fulfill your promise and accept me as an apprentice, so you should have nothing to say, right?" ”

Liao Shi was stunned and said: "Is there such a far-fetched reason? It just doesn't make sense. ”

"Either take me as an apprentice, or I'll follow you like this all the time, and you can only choose one." Yan Xingzhi had just become mysterious again, so he began to use a kung fu that he had learned by hearing about Liao Shi's actions for more than a year, and said leisurely: "Spirit Fire Valley, Fubei Beach, hehe, it must be a very beautiful place!" ”

"The two options don't make much sense, do they?" Liao Shi muttered in a suppressed voice, knowing the implicit meaning of Yan Xing's words, his heart was a little blocked.

Yan Xingzhi has been grinding him for more than a year, and the old man is actually a little moved in his heart, but the pressure of the Yan family is also clearly placed in Liao Shi's heart, in fact, this matter occupies a large position in Liao Shi's heart. After Yan Xingzhi's words just now poked at Liao Shi's weakness, he thought silently for a long time, and his heart defense finally retreated half a step. However, before showing his intentions, Liao Shi also wanted to ask Yan Xingyi a question.

"Kid, the old man doesn't mess around with you anymore. Answer me a serious question. Liao Shi restrained the frivolity of being disrespectful to the old man, and said again: "The answer to this question will affect one of my decisions, you just answer what I ask, don't ask anything else." ”

Yan Xingzhi found that the strange old man in front of him suddenly became different from usual, to be exact, it was the way he wanted to see him. Seeing this situation, Yan Xingzhi did not dare to slack off, and bowed his hand and said: "The late life is waiting for the teachings of the predecessors. ”

"Hmm." Liao Shi rubbed his thin hands. Lowered his eyebrows slightly.

After the tea, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Xingzhi again, looked at those young and energetic eyes, and said slowly: "You are a child of a medical family, your grandfather and father are still alive, and they have all entered the Kyoto Tai Hospital, and they are quite famous. You can be said to be the person who has the most abundant medical resources in the world, but why don't you learn your own family medicine. Do you want to worship me as a teacher? For fame and fortune, or for what? ”

"My predecessors are familiar with my life experience, it should not be difficult to understand, I don't ask for fame and fortune, and I insist on worshipping you, a foreign doctor, as my master. Naturally not for this. ”

Yan Xingzhi's first answer was simple and clear, and then he groaned, and after a while, he continued slowly: "As a descendant of the Yan family, I have the obligation to inherit the medical path of my ancestors, but I don't want to be limited to this. I heard that the way of medicine practiced by the predecessors is the best in the world, but it is rarely relied on to save people, and the later life is vainly self-sufficient, maybe the predecessors have a hard time and can't do it, so the later life wants to learn the medicine skills of the predecessors. Then merge the family medical tract. In order to be able to treat more people's pain, and at the same time pass on the medicinal skills of the predecessors. ”

"You are really rich in feelings, how many people can you save alone?" The colors in Liao Shi's eyes contain irony.

I don't know if it's a deliberate temptation. Or was he really touched by Yan Xingzhi's words, and after snorting softly, he continued with a smile: "Sometimes a doctor is a patient, if you save them, they will think that this is your duty; If you can't save them, you will be punished by bad words, or slandered and bad, and classified as murderous. ”

"People who practice medicine often come into contact with various medicinal materials, and their bodies are prone to accumulate residual poisons, and they are prone to strange diseases and incurable diseases when they are old, and it is difficult for those who are doctors to treat themselves; Especially for people like me who specialize in dealing with drugs, I said that myself, although my appearance is not handsome, but I used to be a person with a great figure, just because I touched the medicine that should not be touched, I almost died because of it, and although I was lucky to survive, I aged very quickly, and my body and bones have shrunk into this shape, and everyone is afraid. ”

Without warning, listening to Liao Shi personally talk about some of his past today, Yan Xingzhi was slightly moved, and he didn't know whether to be happy or to express his gloom for Liao Shi's experiences. But soon his mind returned to the matter in front of him, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said slowly: "My predecessor first asked me about the meaning of practicing medicine, and then tested my courage with his own experience. ”

"Since you have made your words clear, I will ask directly, are you afraid?" Liao Shi froze down, and before Yan Xingzhi could speak, he added: "Trouble, hidden disaster, illness, failure, and responsibility, these are the five kinds of heart poisons that I have summarized privately in the name of the pharmacist, do you have a heart of fear?" ”

Yan Xingzhi lowered his eyes and silently put the five-word cross at the beginning of Liao Shi's words like a cone and thorn wood in his heart, and pondered back and forth a few times, and slowly walked through the dazed feelings in his heart. When he looked at Liao Shi again, although his eyes were firm, there was more hesitation in his tone: "Practicing medicine and dispensing medicine is not child's play, and I dare not reluctantly answer in order to obtain the qualification of apprenticeship." In fact, although he mastered some medical science in his later years, his experience in visiting the clinic was almost zero, and he only knew the literal meaning of this understanding, and in terms of actual mastery, the experience was very jerky. ”

"You're honest about your shortcomings." Liao Shi's expression did not show joy or anger, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he continued: "As a healer, this is very important. It is necessary to tell the patient clearly, rather than hiding it from the patient and treating the patient as a real product to take a medical risk that he cannot master. And as a pharmacist, this should be put in the first place. There is a mistake in practicing medicine, and there is still a chance to recover, but if the medicine in the pharmacist's hand goes down, if he goes on a business trip, it is just a matter of taking a few breaths to kill a person. ”

Yan Xingzhi nodded sincerely and said, "The late student has been taught." ”

"Don't blame the old man for being long-winded and stubborn, I am a selfish person who is extremely afraid of trouble, and I have never been willing to do anything that cannot be rewarded, so I will test you a lot, but I am afraid that you will regret it and give up halfway." Liao Shi said, after hesitating for a moment, he softened his tone and said softly: "In the future, you will carry the medicine basket for me!" ”

This is a simple sentence, but it is like a stone smashed into Yan Xingzhi's heart lake, although the stone is small, the stirring waves can be scattered all over the lake.

Yan Xingzhi was stunned at first, but then he understood, and his voice trembled a little when he was excited: "Master is above, please accept ......"

His gesture of wanting to worship had a foreshadowing of raising his arm, which was disrupted by Liao Shi's casual flick, and then the broken basket in his hand that he refused to carry or carry all the way was thrown over.

Yan Xingzhi firmly caught the building, and without saying a word, he threw it on his back and carried it, and Pei Yin, the attendant next to him, was about to help when he saw this, and was immediately pushed aside by him with a look.

Liao Shi walked to the front empty-handed, and said leisurely: "Don't worship so quickly, I didn't mean to accept you as an apprentice, you are currently just my medicine boy, and you occasionally help me to fight." But don't worry, I basically don't have much work to do, just a lot of errands. In the future, don't call me Master, in front of those two masters in your family, I can't afford this reputation, just call me Pharmacist! ”

When he said this, he suddenly looked back at Yan Xing, and said: "But I have to put the ugly words in front of me, this time when I go back, if Yan Guang has a little objection, I will immediately draw a line with you, there is no room for negotiation about apprenticeship, and today's agreement will be dissipated." ”

"Yes." Yan Xingzhi responded, and began to think about convincing Yan Guang in his heart.

After being away from home for a few years, many letters from his family were handed over, urging him to go back, but he rejected them all. I'm afraid that when I go back this time, my grandfather will really tie himself up in a fit of anger as Liao Shi said, even if he is reluctant to use the family law, it will at least be a punishment of confinement.

Thinking of this, Yan Xingzhi couldn't help but be happy and annoyed by Liao Shi's practice of accepting him as a medicine boy just now. To be a medicine boy who may be removed at any time, and no matter how far through the road, will Liao Shi's decision change again, he will not be able to leave Liao Shi's side for a while, isn't that equivalent to being sent home to be tied up? Liao Shi's trick of refusing to be the first to greet is not old-fashioned!

After pondering for a while, Yan Xingzhi, who was following closely behind Liao Shi, suddenly smiled and said, "Pharmacist, I heard you say a few days ago that the reason for going down the mountain is to check whether that Senior Brother Mo will have hidden health risks due to differences in taking your medicine after changing your prescription." A few days ago, a letter from my family mentioned that Senior Brother Mo's family had left Xingjia Village, so should we change our walking route? ”

"According to your description, with the medicinal power that has accumulated in her body during the time she took the medicine, even if the child really uses the medicine I prescribed to her, but only lacks the 'little Zhu' taste, the overall treatment effect should not be a big problem. If she wants to make up for it, it will also need to be done after she has completely stopped taking the medication. Liao Shi said as he walked, and after a slight pause at this point, he said again after looking at Yan Xing: "Counting the days, we still have plenty of time, isn't it good to take this opportunity to take you home?" ”。 (To be continued.)
