His master is different, and only pursues the most primitive truth in the world where medical skills exist - saving people.

Medical skills exist in this world to save people's lives.

"Master, I'm going to cook, do you need to prepare the ancestor's portion?" The master and apprentice chatted a few words, and Zheng Xiu'er thought that she had to cook dinner, so she glanced in the direction of the door, and her face showed a little worry.

Shen Cuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, followed Zheng Xiu'er's gaze to the door that had been closed, and quickly smiled: "Hehe, no need, I understand your ancestor's temperament, he came out of a negative anger just now, how could he still be cheeky and come back to eat!" Zheng Xiu'er stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, master, if you actually say this about your ancestor, aren't you afraid that it will reach his ears and make him angry?" ”

"As long as you don't say it, it's fine!" Shen Cuo waved his hand, looking indifferent, and then looked at Zheng Xiu'er with a pretended seriousness: "By the way, Xiu'er, you shouldn't betray yourself as a teacher, right?" Zheng Xiu'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, of course not, in fact, I feel that what the master said is quite right, hehe, I'm going to cook!" After saying that, Zheng Xiu'er pushed open the door and went all the way to the back kitchen to prepare tonight's meal, she was busy while thinking about the conversation between the master and the ancestor just now, and felt that both of them made sense.

The master wants to refine all kinds of elixirs with one mind, and wants to fundamentally solve all kinds of problems in people, but even with the knowledge and attainments of the master ancestor, it may be difficult to achieve that goal in his lifetime.

As for the master, his purpose is much simpler and more straightforward, nothing more than to study the specific symptoms and try to cure the patient in the simplest way without spending too much money.

After thinking about it, Zheng Xiuer still felt that the master's choice was the most correct, and only by thoroughly studying the symptoms one by one in a down-to-earth manner could we ensure the healthy life of the people, and as for the future problems, it would be left to future generations to solve.

Before she knew it, the meal had been prepared, and Zheng Xiu'er came to Shen Cuo's room again, and when she saw that he was studying a medical book, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, it's time for the master to eat!" ”

"Oh!" Shen Cuo put down the medical book, walked to the table on the side, and after Zheng Xiu'er laid out the meal, the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and ate silently.

It didn't take long for Zheng Xiu'er to ask curiously, "Master, are you really not going to study alchemy?" Shen Cuo's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded affirmatively: "Well, in fact, I am not completely resistant to alchemy, although most of the elixirs refined by your master are chicken ribs, there are indeed some more practical." ”

Zheng Xiu'er stuck out her tongue, the master was still arguing with the master over this issue before, why is he starting to speak for the master now, is it? Without waiting for Zheng Xiu'er to say the question in her heart, Shen Cuo sighed again: "Hey, it's a pity that we are just mortals after all, even if we live our whole lives, it is impossible to really practice any elixir that can live the flesh and bones of the dead."

Moreover, alchemy will also consume a lot of precious medicinal materials.

What's more, if I put my time and energy into alchemy, I won't be able to heal those who are seriously ill, and watching them suffer will make my conscience unbearable! Taking a deep breath, Shen Cuo said resolutely: "Therefore, although the master does not object to your master's alchemy, you can't show the slightest interest in front of him, otherwise you will be pulled over by him to help, so I don't know how much time will be delayed to treat the patient, hey!" Zheng Xiu'er was shocked when she heard this, and she sincerely admired: "The doctor's benevolence, the master's benevolence is really amazing, I admire you more and more!" She was telling the truth, the master would rather give up the alchemy that could please the above, but chose to heal those ordinary people, this great love is not something ordinary people can have.

Shen Cuo smiled and nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Hehe, it turns out that you think the same way, it seems that I haven't cultivated you in vain, come, eat more!" Saying that, Shen Cuo handed a steamed bun to Zheng Xiu'er, with a thoughtful and caring smile on her face, although it was very heart-warming to see, Zheng Xiu'er couldn't be happy.

She pointed to the two steamed buns in front of her, and said a little speechlessly: "Master, people are not rice buckets, two steamed buns are enough!" Shen Cuo raised his eyes and didn't take back the steamed bun, and said embarrassedly: "Ahem, you're growing your body, there's always no harm in eating more!" Zheng Xiu'er grabbed the steamed bun angrily and took a bite hard: "Hmph, just eat, you will become a fat man when the time comes, master, don't hate me!" Shen Cuo ate to himself, and said casually: "Don't worry, even if you become a little pig, I will teach you what I have learned all my life!" ”

"Huh!" Zheng Xiu'er shook her head helplessly, there were some words in her heart that she couldn't say, the master was so kind and easy-going to everyone, and she didn't know if he could feel his heart.

After such a long time of getting along, Zheng Xiuer's feelings for Shen Cuo have gradually surpassed the relationship between master and apprentice, while working hard to learn medical skills, she also gradually began to pay attention to Shen Cuo's words and deeds, smiles, and did not wait for the joke to go overboard, there will be an inexplicable palpitation, is this the so-called first love? Looking at Shen Cuo, who was still eating and drinking, Zheng Xiuer shook her head in distress, maybe all this was her unrequited love.

And things between men and women don't seem to be so easy to explain clearly, so let's wait a while.

Early the next morning, Shen Cuo handed a porcelain bottle to Zheng Xiu'er: "By the way, I patronized and quarreled with your ancestor last night, and I forgot to show him my newly developed medicine, and there are no people here, so you can go to the palace for me!" Zheng Xiu'er took the porcelain vase, and suddenly became a little nervous: "Master, I, I haven't been to the palace, what if I get lost, I heard that if you break into some places casually, you will be killed!" Shen Cuo smiled: "Hehe, you think too much, the palace is so big, if outsiders go in, they will definitely need to lead the way, oh, this is the imperial doctor's token for the teacher, and when you get there, you can take it out, and then let those fathers-in-law take you to see the master!" ”

"Oh!" Zheng Xiu'er responded clearly, took the imperial doctor token and looked at it carefully: "Hehe, this token is quite exquisite, I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to imitate it!" Shen Cuo nodded and said: "Of course, the palace is the most heavily defended place, if the tokens in and out are so easy to imitate, don't mess with God!" ”

"That's just as well!" Zheng Xiu'er hung the imperial doctor's token on her waist, put the porcelain bottle close to her body, and saw that there were already a few patients outside, and she habitually went over to greet her.

Shen Cuo over there shouted: "Come on, come on, come here, my apprentice has something to do, I don't need to register today, Xiu'er, you should go and go back quickly!" ”

"Uncle, slow down!" Zheng Xiu'er helped a pale-faced old man to Shen Cuo, looked at the patients behind her, and felt that there was no major problem, so she walked out.

After leaving the medical hall, Zheng Xiu'er's hand has been pressed on her waist, the imperial doctor token given by the master is too valuable, and it must not be lost, although the security in the capital is very good, it is inevitable to encounter one or two thieves, so it is better to hold it tightly.

With concern in her heart, Zheng Xiuer was not as relaxed as usual, she greeted the neighbors she knew along the way, and the pace under her feet became faster and faster, which caused people behind her to talk a lot.

"Xiu'er, what's wrong, is someone seriously ill?"

"That's not right, although Xiu'er's medical skills are good, she hasn't officially sat in the hall yet, if there is really a serious illness and can't go to the hospital, it should be Dr. Shen who has gone over!"

"I don't think so, Xiu'er is smart and clever, and her medical skills are not much different from that of Dr. Shen, and she goes to see the same!" Zheng Xiu'er didn't bother to explain to the neighbors, she hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace, and after leaving that street, no one knew herself, and her ears were clean.
