Chapter 008: Sour
The disciples of the Medicine King Sect have entered the Jingshan since they were children, and some were even born here.
There are not only Yaowangzong in the mountains, but also hundreds of families living in seclusion here, willing to be under the jurisdiction of Yaowangzong, and their livelihood is also dependent on Yaowangzong, which is also very harmonious.
Among the disciples of the sect, some were brought in from outside, and some were children of ordinary people.
The children brought outside were all decided to stay after the mountain owners had inspected their family history and their own character.
In addition to their character, the children of ordinary families also look at whether they have the qualifications to study medicine.
These children don't know much about the outside world.
There are only two ways to get out of the mountain.
One is the annual sect conference competition, and the top three disciples can go out with the master to experience half a year.
There is also a kind of disciple who is serious in studying medicine and has always performed well, and has the opportunity to go to Qianmen Town outside the ghost prescription and Changning Guan Yao Wang Sect for internships.
Of the 100 disciples in the sect, less than one-tenth have the opportunity to go out every year. People are both curious and afraid of the outside world.
Although the disciples of Chengyi's sect have more opportunities to go out of the mountain than other disciples, they have never seen the world thousands of miles away, and they can't help but yearn for it in their hearts.
This time, in order to pick up the new junior brother into the mountain, Xie Yingfeng stayed outside for more than a month, but everyone was envious, and I wanted to talk to him all night last night.
Who knew that the master would come back with a black face.
In view of the painful lessons they had received in the past, after greeting the master, the senior brothers took the lead of the senior brother Ji Gang and hid one after another, so as not to be used as a punching bag.
As a result, only Xie Yingjian was waiting in front of him, and everyone had to wait until this morning to find him.
Xie Yingfeng secretly thanked Ran Shaotang while distributing small gifts brought from Kyoto to the senior brothers.
If he hadn't helped him prepare these things, he would have been a little overwhelmed by the tigers and wolves of his senior brothers today.
The master has thirteen apprentices, and he is the youngest. The brothers were all smarter and more capable than him, which made him ashamed of himself. So in front of them, he often bursts out of his heart with habitual worship.
"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for more than a month, why are your faces so black?"
After he picked up some interesting stories about Kyoto and what he saw along the way, he suddenly cared about the complexion of the senior brothers.
It's okay not to mention it, but when it comes to black faces, Ji Gang, Ye Yunfeng and others are not popular.
Xie Yingjian went out to work happily, but they stayed and ended up with a temporary requisition, and went to work as coolies for a few uncles, can they work in the fields every day without tanning?
Senior Brother Ji Gang didn't want to mention it, so he waved his hand and asked him: "Where did you get the money to buy gifts?" ”
The medicine king is poor, and no one in the mountains knows who knows.
Xie Yingfeng has a few sons on him, and they know better.
Xie Yingfeng scratched his head embarrassedly: "The money was given by the fifth uncle." The gift was bought for me by the junior brother and asked me to give it to the senior brothers. ”
The fifth uncle is Ran Shaotang's mother, Yu Ruoxian.
After hearing this, several senior brothers let out an "oh". Sigh at the sincerity of the junior brother.
It seems that the person everyone wants to thank is not the junior brother, but Ran Shaotang.
The remorseful encounter and the news brought back by Xie Yingfeng made them curious about Ran Shaotang. This curiosity is also mixed with unspeakable hostility.
"Tell me what kind of person Ran Shaotang is?"
Listening to the shouts of the two children guarding the door, the new junior brother Ran shot a pack of silver bills. One for one person, the loser is very much. The General's Mansion is rich? ”
"I guess it's the kind of gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun as Uncle Seventh often says."
"I heard that he doesn't know how to do medicine. It seems that the children of noble families like them look down on people like us who study medicine? ”
"Despise? Then what is he doing in our sect? Besides, the fifth uncle is his mother, so he should know some medical science, right? ”
"Our Medicine King Sect doesn't look at his background, even if he is the emperor's son, what can he do, if he enters the ghost prescription, he can only follow the rules of the sect."
"Yes, there are still a few months before the sect conference. If you can't learn medical skills, be careful to go to the lake for training. ”
Ji Gang and Ye Yunfeng listened silently, Xie Yingfeng didn't want to listen anymore, and hurriedly interrupted them.
"Don't guess. Senior Brother Ran is very simple, not what you think. Although he doesn't know anything, he's a little stupid, and he still has some habits like a rich boy and likes to spend money indiscriminately, but he has a good heart. Don't believe me, I'm going to meet you. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that his junior brother's package was still left on the carriage and was not given to him.
"I'm going to deliver a package to Senior Brother Ran in a while, who wants to go, senior brothers, let's go together."
The senior brothers dispersed in a hurry: "What's so nice about a little kid." Besides, we still have work to do. Today, the third and fourth uncles both need help from people, and everyone has assigned tasks. If you're free, go yourself. ”
Ye Yunfeng, the second senior brother who was close to him, patted his head and said, "Come back early", and left with everyone.
Xie Yingfeng helplessly watched the senior brothers disperse. Sigh silently.
The master is back, and the brothers don't have to go to work with other uncles at all. It's just an excuse.
A bad thought came to him in his heart: Senior Brother Ran may have to suffer a little in the future.
Some people are often isolated because they are envied.
Xie Yingfeng was worried about the little junior brother, and he didn't know if Shaotang, a stupid child, was bullied by Senior Brother Man.
Will the master embarrass him?
With a stomach full of doubts, Xie Yingjian asked Cheng Yi for instructions, and went to Kunfeng to visit Ran Shaotang alone with his burden.
There was still a faint pain in my leg and stomach when I climbed the steps yesterday, and I couldn't care about it, anyway, it was better than doing farm work in the field.
The attitude of the senior brothers towards Shaotang worried him.
Although Uncle Man really tossed Senior Brother Man in order to welcome Ran Shaotang, what he saw in the eyes of others may be that Senior Brother Man had fallen out of favor, but he thought that it was because Uncle Shi had a grotesque temperament and was so ruthless to anyone, which did not show how much she loved Senior Brother Ran.
Before going out, the master asked him to convey the instructions of the master and the ancestor.
He had a headache when he heard it.
Who doesn't know that the master and the ancestor don't deal with each other. Uncle Shi never listened to his ancestors.
When Master asked him to pass the word, he was harming him. It may also harm Senior Brother Ran.
Xie Yingjian came to Kunyuan with a lawsuit, and happened to see Senior Brother Man ordering someone to clean up the dining room.
He wanted to directly catch a little boy to inform Shaotang that he was coming, but he took the initiative to ask him, "You came to find Senior Brother Ran?"
Xie Yingfeng replied honestly, and by the way, he gave the explanation of the ancestor.
How nice! How hassle-free!
You don't have to face the teacher and uncle, and solve the problem directly.
He was very proud of his cleverness.
After listening to it, Man regret was silent for a moment.
I don't know if Master let Senior Brother Ran live alone, is it to punish him, or to take better care of him?
"Senior Brother Ran is on the mountain, you go to the bamboo house to find him."
After saying this, he had a cold face and left with the child.
The two children who walked slowly muttered dissatisfiedly: "The newcomer is really difficult to serve, the meal is made by the senior brother himself, and he still dislikes it." No wonder he was punished by the master. ”
"It's better to stay on the mountain forever and don't come down. save him and serve him. ”
Xie Yingfeng frowned after hearing this.
It seems that Senior Brother Shaotang is unpopular.
He carried his burden to Kunfeng, trembled his legs and gritted his teeth, climbed a pillar of incense, and finally found the bamboo house that he said with remorse.
Kun Yuan was built at the foot of the mountain, and because of the temperament of the master, he would not come if he could like other disciples.
As for going up the mountain, there is only one time. That time, it was to help find the full regret of falling into the mountain stream.
It was dark at that time, and I vaguely saw a few houses standing in the bamboo forest, and when I looked carefully in the sunlight today, I felt that a few bamboo houses were similar to the description of the humble room.
Thinking of the expression full of regret just now, the bad thought in my heart intensified.
