Chapter 13: She's familiar with being a medicine man
The black-clothed guard did not lose the face of the master's family, picked up the wooden stick with the sharpened head that she was resting next to, and thrust twelve or three stream fish into it in one go.
Yan Qing took the last bite of the fish, threw the stick in his hand, and gave him a thumbs up:
"Awesome."
"Then you roast it first, and I'll pick some wild vegetables to taste."
She pointed to the wild vegetables and grasses used on the ground next to her, and generously revealed the trick.
The black-clothed guard whistled, and saw another companion like a roc spreading his wings, and two or three black-pressed people rose and fell, and asked in a faint voice:
"How?"
The black-clothed guard at the head pointed to the grass on the ground:
"You gather some of the same, and use the grilled fish."
He turned his head to Yan Qing and smiled and said:
"Little girl, take a hand, there are a lot of fish, and I'm hungry."
"Okay." Yan Qing responded generously, and he didn't know that they didn't worry about her going to herbal medicine, for fear that she would do something in it.
When you go out, you are doing the work of a guard, and it is right to be cautious.
Yan Qing sat back on the stone, stirred the fire with a wooden stick to rekindle the fire, watched the black-clothed guard neatly pack up the three fish skewers and put them on the fire, and handed over a purse:
"I've got some salt seasoning here, see if you need it."
Yan Qing took it unceremoniously, smiled and nodded:
"Of course it's good to have salt. Wait for the roast to be better, can you divide me again? I didn't eat too much just now. ”
"Yes."
The three of them worked together, and soon the enticing smell of fish appeared, and the first fish was roasted, and it was sent to the carriage by the dark green clothes guards who came from behind.
"Why is the little girl here alone early in the morning, secretly coming out to fight for her teeth?"
The black-clothed guard had been standing by and handed over a string of raw fish to grill.
Yan Qing picked up the pile of good and bad grass next to him, and picked out the suitable ones for later use.
"It's not."
She shook her head, half-truths and half-truths.
"My father wanted to sell me for money to support my younger brother, but my mother secretly let me run away and told me to go to the capital to find my father."
She sighed sadly, took out the white jade fan pendant carved into the shape of a small fan in her arms, and pulled down the white jade beads that she was wearing with a colored rope on her head, and her face was full of melancholy.
"But the capital is too far away, and my calves are short, so I have to go to the Year of the Monkey. I heard Granny Hua say that there were people outside the village who took pictures of flowers, and they specially abducted children to sell, and I was a little scared to go on the road alone. ”
"So I thought, first go to the nearby Baiyun Nunnery and worship Master Yuantong as a teacher. The master is merciful and has a good medical skill, I learned some skills from her, and I will make a living in the future, and save some plates to go to Beijing to find my father. ”
After speaking, she pinched the baby fan pendant and said to the black-clothed guard seriously:
"I smell medicine on you, is anyone sick? It's better to go to Baiyun Nunnery to find Master Yuantong to take a look, her medical skills are really good, we people call her a living bodhisattva, she also sends medicine to see a doctor, no money. ”
The black-clothed guard listened to her sincere tone, and her face was innocent, she was about the same age as the youngest daughter in the family, but her fate was twists and turns, and she couldn't help asking:
"If you know there's a bad guy out there, why don't you talk to us unguarded? Aren't you afraid that we will kidnap you to sell? ”
Yan Qing laughed all of a sudden, carefully put away the fan pendant, and said with a smile:
"Uncle, don't scare me. How can a kidnapper have the time to fight with me? I knocked out early and dragged it away in a sack. ”
"Although I haven't seen the world, I can also see that you are very valuable in what you wear, and that knife is not a vegetarian, and the jade beads on the scabbard are better than the fan pendant left by my father, where will you lack money to sell a little girl? There's no need to make a living from such immorality. ”
"The little girl is very clever, and her skills in grilling fish are good." The green-clothed guard went and returned, winking at his companions, the corners of his mouth curled up to look happy.
"Lao Anren used it?"
"It's used, it's delicious! Reward. ”
The two exchanged a few words, and a piece of broken silver was handed to Yan Qing, which looked like half a tael.
"Take it, Lao An will reward you. By the way, I'll pick some seasoned grass and we'll take it on our way. ”
Yan Qing hurriedly waved his hand and asked embarrassedly:
"It's too polite to collect your money. But I had a reluctant request, so I said it cheekily. ”
"I'm going to Baiyun Nunnery, can you take me for a ride? I walked too slowly, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for me to change the sky in a while. ”
The two of them looked at each other with a blank look, and one of them went back to ask for instructions, and soon brought a reply, saying that he could carry her.
Yan Qing happily picked a full bag of grass to pay for the journey, divided a piece of grilled fish and ate it, washed his hands and faces with the stream water, and then followed the two to the carriage.
"Hello mother-in-law, I'm sorry to disturb you, thank you for being kind enough to take me for a ride."
Yan Qingzui greeted the kind-eyed old lady in the carriage sweetly and thanked him politely.
Xiao Lao'an didn't know if he was tired from the journey, and he didn't look very good, so he leaned on the big pillow and beckoned to her.
"Come, talk to my mother-in-law."
Yan Qing looked at the crowded narrow carriage, shook his head sensibly, and said crisply:
"I just sit outside, don't squeeze with my mother-in-law. Mother-in-law, are you feeling unwell? Not used to riding in a horse-drawn carriage? The mountain road is bumpy, and you will be depressed if you sit for a long time. ”
She suddenly pointed to a bush of weeds by the side of the road with leaves like petals, and said:
"Uncle pick that sour a little bit, and my mother-in-law will be comfortable chewing a few chests."
The guard dug up wild vegetables according to his words, picked a leaf and chewed it himself, and his mouth was full of relish.
"It's not bad, refreshing, appetizing."
Lao Anren tried it in disbelief, felt good, and had some spirit, and asked Yan Qing some gossip kindly.
Yan Qing memorized the rhetoric of looking for relatives and apprentices again.
"Poor sight."
Xiao Lao'an listened to her clever words, obviously six years old, but only four or five years old children, they knew that she was suffering at home, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You kid has some opinions. That Master Yuantong has excellent medical skills, if you can really worship her as a teacher, you can be considered to have a temporary landing. ”
"So, I also have some friendship with Master Su Rili, so I'll intercede for you and ask her to accept you as a disciple?"
Yan Qing thanked him happily:
"Thank you, mother-in-law! You are such a good person, and good people will definitely be rewarded! ”
Xiao Laoan was amused by her, and talked and laughed with her all the way, but he didn't feel that the journey was tormenting, and he even had a little appetite for eating.
The group rode horses and drove away, and came to the foot of Baiyun Mountain in the second half of the day. By this time, the sky had already gathered thick dark clouds, and it was about to rain.
"Ouch, my leg hurts again."
Xiao Lao'an exhaled in pain, and his expression was very painful.
Yan Qing guessed that she was suffering from foot paralysis caused by wind and cold, but there was no good way to alleviate it at the moment, so she had to take out the soothing herb in her arms that she was not willing to use, pulled off a leaf and handed it to her mouth:
"Mother-in-law, if you really can't stand the pain, just eat this soothing grass, you can slow down, and then ask the master to heal when you go up the mountain."
A flash of lightning clicked in the sky, reflecting Yan Qing's little face in a dark light.
How dare the guards tell Lao An to eat casually, what if they are poisoned?
I wanted to politely decline, but I watched the inconspicuous herb in the little girl's hand disappear.
"Who?!"
"Master?"
"Master?"
Several exclamations sounded one after another, and in the midst of thunder and lightning, the tall and thin god in bald clothes staggered and staggered, swallowed the blades of grass in two mouthfuls, and stretched out his hand towards Yan Qing:
"Give me the rest of the tranquilizers."
Yan Qing pursed her lips, looking at her bruised and distorted face, as well as the black blood overflowing from the corners of her mouth, and without hesitation, she stuffed the whole soothing grass into her mouth.
It is rumored that Master Yuantong of Baiyunan is obsessed with medical skills, and vows to follow Shennong's example to taste all kinds of herbs, and often test the medicine himself, which is a medicinal attack that cannot be beared?
She is familiar with being a medicine man!
