- Due to the influence of the two state-level academies in the nearby county seats, the children of several families in the nearby residents have gone to the academies and learned some national weaving knowledge. Even if most of these students just hold the edge of going to the academy to have a glorious point, so that they can look better when they make a living in the future, and do not have the great ambition of being promoted to the main academy and embarking on the ultimate scientific examination and entering the university, some basic cultural knowledge in the academy can still bring some positive impact on people's livelihood through this kind of widespread transmission.

Because of the indirect protection of this good atmosphere, Liao Shicai was saved from a painful beating. Soon after Liao Shi was escorted to the county office, the original owner of the shop that rented him also rushed to hear the news. Liao Shi's image, in the heart of the homeowner, is really hard to forget once remembered, so after listening to the description of the neighborhood, the homeowner already understands that where is this thief, it is obviously the tenant who has not seen him for many years.

The owner didn't want to make too much trouble, after all, he would continue to make money by renting out the house in the future, and if he could not offend people, he would not offend. Although Liao Shi did not carry his own copy of the house deed with him, as long as he checked his fingerprints, the matter was cleared.

The county government is not far from the Lizheng Academy in the county seat, and the county magistrate can often drink tea and interpret books with several academy masters, and he is quite influenced by the academy and is a person who cherishes the official reputation very much. Seeing that the old man in the hall was escorted by the townspeople, it was really a misunderstanding, and the county magistrate didn't make any more complicated regulations, so he made a decision and released him on the spot.

However, after such a toss, it really made Liao Shi a little anxious.

He couldn't feel the relief of the owner of the house after the trouble. The townspeople who misunderstood him were unhappy when they saw him, although the townspeople tied him up, and they really had the good intentions to act bravely, but there were still one or two people who took the initiative to apologize to Liao Shi, but this could not extinguish Liao Shi's anxiety in the slightest, because the townspeople could not understand the root of his impatience.

Hurried back to the pharmacy, fortunately saw that the box containing the snow silkworm crystal was still there, Liao Shi held it, and didn't care whether the door of the shop was locked or not, in the surprised eyes of the original owner. Didn't say a word. Turn around and go. Naturally, the owner of the house will not take advantage of Liao Shi's absence to sweep away the pharmacy.

Although most of the materials stored in the shop are high-grade medicinal materials, some of them may have been shelved for a long time. Druggability. But there are some special ones. For example, deer antlers, tiger bones, musk, etc., can be stored for a long time, and the weight is almost equal to the price of silver. But these things. In the eyes of drug dealers and knowledgeable people, it is wealth, and in the eyes of ordinary people who do their duty, they will not easily touch it. This kind of consciously law-abiding virtue is not only caused by the collective cultivation of pure and good people, but also because of the fact that medicine is somewhat taboo among the people.

Hoarding oil and food, no family has ever thought of hoarding medicine.

Looking at the rickety old man who was as thin as a piece of firewood, he walked as fast as a gust of wind, and disappeared in an instant, and the owner only hesitated, and it was too late to catch up. The owner sighed, looked inside the shop again, and was turned into a mess by the old man, the owner couldn't help but shake his head, cut off the intention of helping to clean up, closed the door, held the smashed lock, and prepared to go to the lock shop in the town to repair it.

The tenant may still come back, but I just hope that the next time he returns, he will remember to bring the keys.

After Liao Shi left his pharmacy, he hurried back to the inn where the horses were kept. Seeing that the customer who had just stayed in the hotel was about to leave in an instant, the innkeeper thought that he had served poorly and offended someone, so he hurriedly apologized and wanted to keep the guest.

Liao Shi didn't bother to explain anything, and took out a piece of silver, which was the size of an egg, and almost didn't flash the guy's eyes. The innkeeper held the silver ingot, his hand trembled slightly, and watched the unsightly, even a little ugly, thin old man ride on his horse and gallop away, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: the guest really did not want to stay in the hotel, and he seemed to have forgotten to find him money—he did not ask for it.

After leaving the town, Liao Shi rode straight into a mountain stream. He didn't immediately choose the road back because he still needed to collect some food for the snow silkworms in the mountains. Walking into the mountains and forests, looking at the greenery of the mountains, Liao Shi's heart relaxed a little. Fortunately, the season is late spring, and the leaves that snow silkworms love to eat should also grow very lushly! Liao Shi slowed down and searched for it in the greenery.

However, after searching for a moment, he gradually frowned. He wasn't an impatient person, but he was just impatient because of something impatient in his heart, which affected his mood. And just as he frowned and sighed frequently, and could only continue to search for it, he ran into two people. Because the county magistrate in the county seat is an official and fair, and even the order of the ten miles and eight townships around the county seat is also good and stable, and there will be no cottages and rogue strongmen in the nearby mountains. But when Liao Shi saw these two people, he immediately waved the reins in his hand and wanted to dodge.

They were met by two teenagers of the same age, about fifteen or sixteen years old. And what really made Liao Shiwei afraid to avoid it was the young man on the left who was quite bookish. However, Liao Shi was still slower, and the scholarly boy only needed to look at Liao Shi to recognize him. To be precise, it is difficult to forget the image of Liao Shi in the eyes of a stranger.

Liao Shi turned his horse's head to run, but the young man behind him had already whipped his mount and ran after him.

"Pharmacist—"

Hearing this young and familiar voice, Liao Shi only felt like he had been cursed by someone poking his bones. However, when he thought about the purpose of his visit to the mountain stream, it was still important to get down to business, so he had to pick up the reins and stop the chase game. Seeing that the young man rode to the front, and then turned around and approached quickly, Liao Shi had a cold face and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Why are you here?" ”

The two young men who rode horses to meet each other, the one on the right was the son of the hunter of Xingjia Village, and he was actually Mo Ye's best playmate when he was a child: Xing Feng. The one on the left is Yan Guang's grandson Yan Xingzhi, who has followed Liao Shi in Dafeng Ling for several years, and his ability to follow the fart worm makes Liao Shi extremely headache.

If he sticks to it this time, it may be difficult to get rid of it again. It's just that if he comes with him on this trip, is it really appropriate? Liao Shi only pondered in his heart for a moment, and suddenly a burst of annoyance came up again.

In fact, a few years ago, Yan Xingzhi followed Liao Shi's footsteps closely, and he didn't want to do anything unfavorable to him, but he was very enthusiastic about worshipping him as a teacher. But this apprentice sent to the door, Liao Shi didn't want it. Liao Shi didn't think it was any good to accept apprentices, he was used to being alone and continued to live like this. Happy to have a good time.

If you think about it from a different angle. No one in the medical world will recognize his medical skills, and if he accepts Yan Guang's old guy's only grandson as an apprentice at this time, not to mention that he has no place to put Yan Guang's face, he will rely on his reputation that has been ruined. Don't pollute Yan Xingzhi's young people who are still new in the future. For this matter. Yan Xingzhi said it verbally. He had already begged his grandfather for approval, but Liao Shi himself was not at ease, and always felt that Yan Guang would not be reconciled. I'm going to get him in trouble.

But it's just so unfortunate that you can meet him in the depths of such a hard-to-find mountain stream! Liao Shi couldn't help but want to ask Providence, is Yan Xingzhi really the candidate who must be accepted as an apprentice in his fate?

Originally, when acquaintances met, they should say polite words such as "fortunate meeting" to each other, but Liao Shi came to such a sentence coldly, as if questioning, and there was obvious displeasure in his tone, but it was like seeing an enemy.

Fortunately, the person who walked with Yan Xingzhi today is Xing Feng, he has a simple nature, he has practiced martial arts in Shanshui Academy for several years, and with the solid foundation accumulated by his own hard work, he has built a lot of prestige among the children of martial arts. But he himself, in fact, is still not good at showing off, everything is just a revelation of his heart. Watching the strange old man speak unkindly to his friend, Xing Feng felt a little displeased, but he didn't have an immediate seizure. He calmed his heart, took a hook, patted the horse's belly, and walked to Yan Xingzhi's side.

Observing Liao Shi's face, Xing Feng was still silent, his eyes calm.

Yan Xingzhi has followed Liao Shi in Dafengling for several years, and has a good understanding of his temperament and character, and has long been accustomed to his style.

A person like Liao Shi just hangs all the bad habits and tempers on his face, so it can also be seen that the bad part of his character, the peak is just a cold mouth, but in fact, his heart is very simple. Yan Xingzhi had heard his grandfather relay early on, and Liao Shi had said for some reason: I will not treat diseases and save people in this life, but in the past few years in Dafengling, he has never seen Liao Shi do anything harmful. Although he rarely does things to help the world, he does not indifferently do it to that extent.

Facing Liao Shi's cold question, if others think about it carefully, they may understand that what he really wants to ask is not why the person in front of him is here, but is driving people away, which is equivalent to ordering "Why haven't you left yet". However, Yan Xingzhi smiled slightly, and said gently: "I went home to visit my mother, and when I had nothing to do, I went around the mountains and rivers around my hometown with my friends. ”

The answer ...... There are no flaws!

Liao Shi looked at Yan Xingzhi, slightly stunned, and didn't know what words to use to drive him away. Just as his throat was stuck, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he patted his head and smiled: "I almost forgot, you can help!" ”

Liao Shi has a child-like temper that changes when he says, which surprises Xing Feng, who is watching. But Yan Xingzhi was already familiar with this, he didn't care about such details, and only noticed that there was a need for help in Liao Shi's words.

Liao Shi couldn't find the kind of leaves for the snow silkworm to eat, but he remembered that Yan Xingzhi had grown up here since he was a child, and he should be no stranger to this place. This familiarity also includes an understanding of local characteristics, such as where there are caves and where there are wolves' dens...... Where are those leaves.

consulted Liao Shi about what he wanted, and the two teenagers lived up to his expectations and took him to a place. When the three of them came out of the woods, they all had bundles of green leaves on their horses.

In fact, I was able to find that place thanks to Xing Fengdi's help. As he grew up year by year and his martial arts became more and more refined, his father no longer let him watch the door at home as before, and in recent years, he often took him into the mountains to hunt. For this mountainous area near his hometown, Xing Feng knew much more carefully than Yan Xingzhi.

When he came out of the forest, he saw that the leaves to be collected were harvested abundantly, enough for three or four days, and Liao Shi's mood was also much relaxed, so he chose a few insignificant places for the purpose of returning this time to gossip. Yan Xingzhi still didn't know what Liao Shi was feeding the snow silkworms for, but what was certain was that the old man was definitely going away again.

Walking on the official road, seeing that Yan Xingzhi was still following, Liao Shi couldn't help but say: "I said I was leaving, what are you doing with it?" ”

Yan Xing's heart was clear, and he replied sincerely: "I follow you, walking." ”

In fact, Liao Shi could have expected that Yan Xingzhi would do this.

If it is left in normal times, it doesn't hurt to let him follow, this child is the only seedling of the Yan family, and it can be seen that the Yan family has also put a lot of thought into his cultivation, this child is very sensible and will not cause trouble for himself.

Seeing that Liao Shi didn't speak, Yan Xingzhi was afraid that he would open his mouth to refuse, so he hurriedly asked again: "Pharmacist, where are we going next?" ”

……

When he felt that Ye Nuonuo had completely slept peacefully, Ruan Luo finally opened her hand easily, covered the quilt for her, and compacted the corners of the quilt, he got up from the edge of the bed, and turned his head, but saw that the figure of the maid Xiaoyu was no longer in the boudoir.

The feeling of embarrassment passed through his heart for a moment, and Ruan Luo did not hesitate and walked out.

Outside the boudoir, there was also a small side hall, Ruan Luo saw Xiaoyu standing in the hall, with a basin of hot water next to her feet, and a pair of clean cotton shoes neatly arranged.

Ruan Luo was slightly stunned, and then he felt that his feet were already clammy and cold.

Xiaoyu wanted to serve Ruan Luo to wash his feet, but Ruan Luo refused, not to mention that this is Ye Mansion, even in his own home, he has not let Bai Tao serve to wash, and all the daily little things are done by himself.

He is not used to being served by others, but his habit, when it falls into Xiaoyu's eyes, naturally has another meaning.

After soaking his feet in hot water and stepping on his dry shoes and socks, Ruan Luo suddenly felt that he had also increased his energy. When washing his feet, Xiao Yu relayed to him a message that the second prince had left in the Ye Mansion when he returned to the palace, Ruan Luo was surprised at first, but then he didn't hesitate anything.

If this matter were left on someone else, it might seem that the second prince's request was a bit inappropriate, but Nguyen Luo was different, he himself had no relatives in Kyoto, so he valued his friends more than ordinary people.

Although Ye Zhengming only diagnosed and treated him twice, he was able to find Yi Wenqian, a master among the township doctors in Bo County, so that his physical condition benefited a lot from his three-year recuperation life, and Ye Zhengming's kindness as a guide was also not shallow.

What's more, at the family banquet a few days ago, Ye Nuonuo also worshipped him as a brother-in-law.
