Chapter 6 Apprenticeship
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw the miracle doctor in the courtyard, he wore white clothes every day, and I had never seen any other color.
"Grandpa Divine Doctor, you can accept me as an apprentice! Please. I walked over and tugged at the doctor's sleeve. I got up early this morning, for fear that the doctor would not be able to see him when he went out to collect medicine.
"I have to think about this question, and I'll give you an answer when I come back from collecting medicine." The divine doctor thought about it seriously, looked at me and said.
"Why, I don't want it!" I don't know why, I've only been together for a few days, so I'm so easy to spoil him.
"You've got to give me a moment to think about it, don't you?" The divine doctor looked at me steadily.
"Okay!" I was a little sad, I thought he would say yes.
In fact, the divine doctor is very willing, he has lived in Yunmeng Mountain for most of his life, treating the surrounding people, researching various medicinal materials, no children and no daughters, at this age, what he wants most is to be accompanied by children, and now Du Ruo is half a son, and there is a lack of a daughter, and it is not impossible to accept a female apprentice.
Seeing the divine doctor's hesitation, I was a little anxious, I was afraid that the divine doctor was unwilling, after all, he already had a disciple. I don't want to go back to Wenfu, and I don't know where to go, staying here is the best place for me to go at the moment.
Although the doctor is benevolent, there is another reason why I want to study medicine, I hope that I can make great progress in my medical skills, contact more people with family backgrounds in the future, and then find an opportunity to find out the murderer and avenge my father.
On the way back, the doctor went to the market, bought some good vegetables, and brought me pickled plums and a simple hairpin. He thought that he was about to have a female apprentice, and he had to celebrate and prepare some gifts for me.
"The Divine Doctor is back, wow! I also brought something delicious! This time, you're in for a treat! I said mischievously.
"Why do you still call me a miracle doctor?" The Divine Doctor's smile became more kind.
"Huh?" I didn't react, thinking he didn't like the title.
"Miss, you are stupid, why don't you call the master quickly!" Nian Nian poked me excitedly and reminded.
"Ahh Master, apprentice meet master! With that, I quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the master, and I still had this bit of eyesight.
"Alright, alright, get up!" The doctor happily motioned for me to get up.
Oh my God, the doctor finally agreed, I was so excited that I danced, I have a master, and I have a place to live, hahahaha......
"Congratulations, Miss!" Nian Nian was equally excited as he took my hand.
"Come on, come on, master sit down!" I hurriedly let go of Niannian, took the things from the master's hand, and helped the master sit down.
"Master, please drink tea!" I immediately poured tea for the master, but the apprentice was not allowed to serve the tea. I was so happy that I could finally tell my sister and let her relax.
"The master is happy today, I'll cook for the master!" With that, I plan to cook a few dishes to honor the master.
"No, no, you and the master are happy today, I'll go!" Du Ruo held me down, and ran to the kitchen as soon as he smoked.
"I'm here to help!" Nian Nian trotted after him.
After a while, Du Ruo made us a table of good dishes and celebrated for me. The master took out the plum and the hairpin in his arms and gave them to me, which he specially brought to me.
"This is for you, and it was specially brought back to you for the teacher." The master looked at me dotingly.
"Thank you, master, the apprentice likes it very much." As I spoke, I took something and put the hairpin on my head, and put the plum in my clothes, and I had to keep it for myself.
"The master is eccentric, I am also an apprentice, why don't I have it." Du Ruo pretended to be jealous on his face.
"It's just not, you think it's beautiful." The master joked to him.
"Master, you're so funny." Hearing the master say this, it made me laugh!
"Shouldn't I change my name to you junior sister in the future, haha......" Du Ruo was as excited as a child.
"Yes, senior brother!"
"Hahaha......"
The four of us sat around laughing, this is the feeling of home, it is the feeling of happiness, since my father is gone, I have never been so happy, I want to keep this good, I want to guard the master for the rest of my life.
"Since you have worshiped as a teacher, shouldn't you tell me about the situation at home?" The master suddenly put away his smiling face.
"Yes! I want to know too! Du Ruo stepped in as soon as he could.
"Yes, these things should not be hidden from the master." My eyes began to darken.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it!" The master saw that I was a little unhappy, so he decided not to ask.
"It's fine." In fact, it's nothing to say, we all have to live together in the future, and hiding it will affect our feelings.
"I was originally the second daughter of General Liu, my father was killed not long ago, I followed my sister back to her husband's house, my sister and brother-in-law treated me very well, but it was not my home after all, I didn't like the life under the fence very much, and I didn't want to cause trouble to my sister, so I ran out with Niannian, I want to tell my sister after I have a landing, so that she can rest assured." After saying it, I felt that the stones in my chest had fallen a lot.
"The master shouldn't mention it." The master felt that he had brought up my sad things again, and he was a little sorry.
"Oh, master." I tugged at his sleeve and made me a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else, won't the master test the junior sister?" Du Ruo deliberately teased me, trying to ease the emotions in my heart.
"Since Du Ruo said so, then I will reluctantly test you." The master smiled.
"Isn't it? Master, senior brother must be just joking with you. "I didn't expect my senior brother to be so bad and dig a big hole for me.
"Just tell me what herbs you know about invigorating blood, removing stasis and relieving pain?"
"Chuanxiong, Panax notoginseng, motherwort, hyssop, frankincense, Wuling fat, turtle insects...... "I knew that the master would definitely give me water and would not embarrass me."
"Well, yes, you passed." The master looked at me with a smile.
"Hahaha...... "Four, you look at me, I look at you, laughing."
"Then senior brother, what gift did you prepare for me?" He deliberately tricked me just now, and now I want to deliberately embarrass him.
"Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow, Senior Brother will double it for you!" The senior brother touched his head embarrassedly.
"Let Du Ruo take you out to collect medicine tomorrow, and go for a break by the way." The master still understands me, and knows that I will definitely be bored, just like my father, which makes people feel warm and relieved.
"Good! All right! "I just want to go out for a walk, too.
The sky was only slightly bright, and the senior brother came to call me, I changed into convenient clothes, and simply pulled up my hair, after all, I was going to drill in the woods, it was better to wear comfortable clothes.
"Are you going?" I asked.
"With Senior Brother Du here, Miss must be very safe, I won't go, I'll help the doctor at home." Nian Nian is lazy, she is so tired from climbing the mountain, she doesn't want to go.
The breeze blew and blew away all the haze, and with the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, the impetuous heart of this moment was also quieted down instantly, and the senior brother took me to the mountains.
"I'll take you to the top of the mountain to have a look, you must like it, I used to go up alone when I went to collect medicine." My brother turned around and held out his hand to me.
"But the master asked us to collect medicine!" I hesitated for a moment and handed my hand over, I was afraid that if I didn't pick the medicine master, I would punish the senior brother.
"It's okay, you can find chicken blood vine on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain, it also has a name called 'cliff vine', and it is rarely found in ordinary times, and you can also pick other medicines on the way down the mountain, the master wants you to relax, and not let you work." As he spoke, the senior brother pulled me up.
Along the way, my brother took good care of me, for fear that I would fall and get hurt, so he always waited for me to walk steadily, and took me around thorny places for fear of hurting me.
After climbing for two hours, we finally arrived at the top of the mountain, overlooking the foot, the white clouds are misty, looking around the peaks, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the top of the mountain pokes out of the clouds and mist, like a hibiscus out of the water, this is simply a fairyland on earth.
"Wow! It's beautiful! I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, the fresh air accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and trees made me intoxicated, and my mood instantly improved a lot, leaving all the fatigue of climbing the mountain out of the clouds.
"I didn't lie to you! As I said, you're going to love it here. "Senior brother is happy to see me, and he is happy himself.
"How did you find such a nice place?" Most people only go to the top of the mountain, avoiding the edge of the cliff.
"I've been collecting medicine with my master for many years, and I know where I am in this mountain, every time I am punished by my master and unhappy, I will come here." The senior brother raised his head and thought about it.
"It turns out that you will also be punished by the master." I smiled at him and continued to enjoy the good things with my eyes closed.
"You stay here and wait for me, I'll collect medicine and come to you." My brother looked at me with a face full of intoxication, his face turned red, and he walked into the depths of the jungle without waiting for me to answer.
I have been waiting for my brother at the top of the mountain for a long time, and this is indeed a good place for people to calm down and not think about anything else, but to experience the beautiful things in the mountains.
"Let's go, let's go back!" My brother came from the edge of the cliff and interrupted my thoughts.
"Okay, where's the Chicken Blood Vine?" I looked at his medicine basket and saw nothing.
"It's so easy to find." My brother took my hand and walked back.
"I'm really tired, it seems that I have to exercise a lot, and I often go out with my senior brother to collect medicine in the future." When I got home, I was tired and out of breath, and I drank a lot of water to recover.
"Okay, I'll take you out in the future!" Du Ruo's heart began to change unusually, he liked this happy girl.
"Miss, you're back, see you're sweating profusely, go in and change your clothes." Nian Nian saw that I was sweating profusely, and reached out to wipe my forehead.
After changing my clothes, it occurred to me that it was time for me to write to my sister, and I had a place to stay.
"Niannian, you go and ask my senior brother for a pen and paper, and I will write a letter to my sister." I'm so happy.
"Okay." Nian Nian jumped and ran out to borrow pen and paper.
[Sister, are you okay?] I miss you very much, I lived in Yunmeng Mountain, the divine doctor took me as an apprentice, I plan to learn medical skills hard, you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well, I'll come back to see you when I'm free that day. - Weiwei Book. 〕
After I finished writing, I asked my brother to take me to the town to deliver letters, and by the way, I bought some daily necessities and delicious food......
