Everyone took the incense burner and sniffed it.

Among all the spices, agarwood can be called the first of all incense, integrating the smell of heaven and earth, he mixes the fragrance of gum and resin, which is injured in a specific environment, and the spices accumulated over the years are quiet and introverted.

However, the fragrance of bamboo leaves in the dream is integrated with this quiet incense, and Du Ruo's wonderful spicy and bamboo fragrance and wood fragrance have been raised to a higher level, which makes people feel invigorated.

What a dream!

The smell of fresh smoke echoed throughout the courtyard, and in the firewood room in the backyard, a young man sat on a firewood stack, took off his coat, and looked around, but saw a mess.

He got up and picked up the firewood at his feet, piled it on the stack, and then spread his coat on the ground, and lay down with his clothes in his arms.

The bright moonlight is equal, sprinkling its own light on the earth.

It falls on the small pavilion of the elegant meeting, and also on the messy firewood house.

The door of the firewood room knocked again, and the guy in the store came in with two steamed buns with a pair of dirty hands: "Doctor, this steamed bun is cold, and I don't have time to help you warm it up, you can deal with it." ”

The young man hurriedly got up, took the steamed bun with a smile, and didn't care about the cold steamed bun, let alone the extremely obvious black handprint on the steamed bun, and bit most of the steamed bun in one bite, and the steamed bun was chewed three or four times, and then swallowed it in a hurry.

Seeing him gobbling up like this, the man hurriedly said, "There is a well in the yard, if you are thirsty, go get some water to drink, don't choke." ”

The young man's face flushed slightly, and he arched his hand very embarrassedly: "Thank you little brother for your kindness, it's rude." ”

The man shook his head and asked, "You are a healer, and you are a doctor who saves people from fire and water, but you have fallen to this point because of river pirates, which is really pitiful." He squatted down, waved his hand, and motioned for the young man to sit down and talk, and the young man had something in his stomach, and he was not in a hurry to eat steamed buns, so he sat down.

"Why on earth did you leave home?"

When the young man heard this, his face changed slightly, but this change was not lonely, but full of energy.

He smiled and said: "I am from Hu Guangqi Prefecture and was born in a family of doctors. Since he was a child, he was frail and sickly, but he had no interest in those empty and boring Baguwen, so he simply gave up his plan to become an official in the imperial examination. ”

The man listened to him speak, as if listening to a story, and forgot that the store still needed manpower, and asked, "You are interesting, but you are so prestigious, but you are not willing to learn." ”

The young man smiled, and then said: "My ancestor is a "bell doctor", my father has heard it, and he is also a famous local doctor in Huguang. But you also know that the status of the folk lang is very low. My family was often bullied by the gentry. Therefore, my father decided to let me, as the second son, study for the exam, so that I could succeed and get ahead. ”

He paused, and then said: "I was a Xiucai at the age of fourteen, and in the nine years since then, I have gone to Wuchang Mansion three times to take the exam, and all of them have fallen to Sun Shan. So, I gave up my plan to become an official in the imperial examination and concentrated on studying medicine. ”

"Hey." He let out a long sigh and continued, "The body is like a ship against the current, and the heart is stronger than iron and stone. Looking at his father's ambitions, he is not afraid of difficulties until death. That's what I said to my father before I left home. ”

The guy smiled and arched his hand: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that the doctor is actually a talented man!" I'll go and bring you a bowl of water. With that, the man got up and walked out the door.

After a while, the man came back with a bowl of water, and the young man wanted to get up again to receive the water, but the man smiled and waved his hand, squatted down, and said, "Don't get up, you sit down." ”

The young man said: "Don't be so polite, I am in trouble today, it was you who reached out to save me, and took me in here for the night, the little brother is kind to me." ”

The guy smiled: "That's not what I said, the female boss of my family is a talented girl, she admires the scholar the most, and often teaches us to respect the reader, if you meet a scholar like you, you need to help a lot, you have already said that you are a famous scholar, I don't have to hide it like this and dare not let you see people." ”

The young man smiled and said, "But I have already made up my mind not to take the imperial examination anymore, so now I am only a doctor Langzhong, not a scholar." ”

The guy grinned, stepped forward, and asked, "Then why the hell did you leave the house?" ”

The young man said with a smile: "My father often said that there are many mistakes in the existing herbal books, and there will be endless disasters. ”

The guy was slightly stunned when he heard this, nodded incessantly, and said, "Mr. has great ambitions, it's amazing!" ”

The young man smiled and said: "It's just that I'm just inheriting the ancestral business, it's not a big deal, I just hope that I can gain more from this trip, and I can try my best to correct some mistakes." ”

The guy said, "This is naturally amazing, I really envy you for doing such a great thing!" ”

The young man smiled and asked, "If you are envious, why don't you go with me, make me a left and right hand, or you can learn some medical skills and set up your own door in the future." ”

When he said this, he regretted it a little, and added: "I don't mean that it's bad to be a restaurant guy, it's just that it's ...... in a hurry."

The guy said indifferently: "I know that Mr. doesn't mean that, but I don't dare to leave Fengyang Mansion." He smiled lowly and looked the young man up and down.

This is a torn dress, there are still wounds on the face, and the half-eaten head is still on the side, how many people can live such a day?

Only a person like this young man, such a person with a fire in his heart, can always remain blazing and refuse to give up easily.

The guy smiled: "Mr. is a big man and has great ambitions, but I was born in Fengyang Mansion since I was a child, I have married a wife and had children, I can't leave home, and I don't know how to read, so it's really not suitable to follow Mr. to wander the rivers and lakes." ”

"Won't? I'll teach you! The young man smiled and said, as if he did not see at all that what the young man said was a pretext and a lie to him.

How can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old restaurant guy afford to marry a wife?

The young man smiled, and only then did he remember that there was still something to do in the front hall, so he arched his hand and said, "Sir, it's not too early, please rest, Ming'er will eat, and I will send the meal over." Mr. is tired of boats, and must eat enough before going on the road. ”

The young man smiled, nodded, and replied, "Then it's bothering the little brother." ”

The young man didn't say anything more, and hurried out of the house. He stood in the doorway, paused, sighed, and turned to leave.

Who hasn't been young?

Who hasn't had that fire of passion in their chest?

However, in the end, how many people are not defeated by reality and bow their heads and give in?
