Chapter 22: Relieved

Zhu Hongyu nodded in shame.

"I thought about it a lot after that. I really don't want to touch any more patients. I was afraid of their expectant and admiring glances at me, and I was even more afraid of their desperate looks when they were treated with medicine. I feel so incompetent, I don't want to be a savior, I just want to be a mortal. ”

"However, you still saved Sister-in-law Gu."

Runye's tone was very soft, not to blame her.

"Because we're all ...... Doctor. ”

The two looked at each other and fell silent. In different eras, the doctor's benevolence remains the same.

Runye also felt that he was so similar to Zhu Hongyu, and he had sworn thousands of times in the middle of the night that he would never be a doctor again. But I persevered.

"Does it still hurt?"

Zhu Hongyu woke up, and then realized that the liver area was no longer painful.

"It's amazing, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhu Hongyu remembers that in modern times, traditional Chinese medicine has become synonymous with slowness, slowness, and trying, but in fact, that set of theories is not wrong.

In fact, all this is wrong with medicine, in order to meet the needs of 1.3 billion people, drugs can only be mass-produced, and over time, the medicine has no effect.

In fact, traditional Chinese medicine is very fast, such as the "Angong Niuhuang Pill" that Runye once took out, which is life-saving.

"You are a little child, and your liver qi is stagnant. In the long run, it will hurt the innate roots. In the future, we must learn to relax our minds and cultivate ourselves. It's better to worship under my seat and teach you to cultivate immortals. ”

Runye's voice is very gentle, very patient, and so ...... Fascinated.

"No, no, thank you."

Runye stood up with a smile and took the medicine bowl away.

Zhu Hongyu rested for a while, and finally stood up. helped Runye do the work on the temple, and the patients who came to see the doctor at this time got it in twos and threes.

There are a lot of people, but it's not as spectacular as last month, and the plague is coming to pass.

By the way, my old house has not been cleaned up yet.

Zhu Hongyu told Runye to clean up the ruins, Runye agreed, and she walked out of the mountain gate towards home.

The darkness in the distance is the location of home, but it is no longer home, it is a ruined wall. The fire was extinguished, and there was still smoke, and the earth was in ruins. The house is dead, so to speak.

Zhu Hongyu didn't know how long this house had been built, maybe thirty years, maybe twenty years.

The largest beam, pressed against the many dead branches, has also turned charcoal-colored.

The original west house was occupied by Zhanao, and it was still better. The house where he and his sister lived was badly burned out because it was connected to the kitchen.

Zhu Hongyu stood in front of this pile of ruins and ruins, and heard someone shouting behind her.

"Niko, are you back?"

Zhu Hongyu turned around, held back her tears, and said, "Hello sister-in-law Gu." ”

"Today, only the eldest son of our family has gone to the field, let's help you clean up and see what is left. It's better for you to start your new life early. ”

A discourse, simple and unpretentious. Deeply rooted in Zhu Hongyu's heart.

"Thank you, sister-in-law Gu."

"Thank you, let's do it quickly."

In the morning, sister-in-law Gu, brother Gu, and their two sons helped with Zhu Hongyu, holding shovels and shovels to clean up.

There are three grown men, and the work of clearing the rubble can be called godfast.

The nearby villagers saw that Zhu Hongyu's house began to clean up, and took some water, rice, and silver coins and gave them to Zhu Hongyu.

After all, in this simple village, Zhu Hongyu has gained a certain prestige in curing diseases and saving people.

At noon, the five of them gathered around and ate the cakes and sour plum soup sent by the neighbors.

By dusk, the rest of the house was almost packed.

Zhan Ao's book, a clay pot of mugwort, a few eggs that can be eaten after cooking, and the jar of money.

These things can be carried away with a basket, and this is all the hope of their family of three.

Sister-in-law Gu gave Zhu Hongyu a few clothes she wore when she was young, and Zhu Hongyu carried the gifts of all the villagers on her back, just filling a large back basket.

"Sister-in-law Gu, I'm leaving."

"Go on, kid, find a place to live as soon as possible, and we'll help you when the time comes."

"Okay, sister-in-law Gu."

Where is it so easy to find a new place to live?

Zhu Hongyu walked to the dried fruit shop last time with a disgraced face, and the boss saw Zhu Hongyu coming to greet her.

"Yo, how can I change this outfit after not seeing you for a few days?"

Zhu Hongyu glanced at her body, and by the way, she was still wearing a robe that moistened the night.

"Oh, I'm ...... I'm going to buy ......."

Zhu Hongyu glanced at the dried fruit stall in a panic, and her original intention when she entered the shop was to exchange the copper coins in the jar for silver taels.

But I was attracted by the rice dumplings candy on the counter.

"Boss, how do you sell this zongzi candy?"

By the way, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and she is still planning to make zongzi today, but a fire has made today the most heart-wrenching day after her rebirth.

"Five wen and one tael."

This price is considered expensive.

"Come on two taels, no, half a catty."

"Okay."

The boss weighed out half a catty of zongzi candy with a small copper scale, and asked, "Girl, how to wrap it?" ”

Zhu Hongyu looked at the boss suspiciously.

"You don't eat alone, I'll divide you into small packets."

"Hmm...... Divided into four ...... No, three copies. ”

"Okay."

The boss said, dividing half a catty of zongzi candy into three parts, and there was not much in each portion. But it can bring some festive spirit to a lesser extent.

Zhu Hongyu took out a huge money jar, put it in front of the owner of the dried fruit shop, counted the copper plates from it and handed it to the boss, and the owner of the dried fruit shop was stunned.

When I returned to Sanguan Temple at night, the gate was not closed, apparently leaving a door for Zhu Hongyu.

She entered, bolted it, and walked a few steps inside, when she heard laughter and laughter in the hall.

Zhu Hongyu put the basket in the guest room, took out the zongzi candy and held it in her arms, and then entered the dining hall.

Runye, Zhanao, and Amber are sitting at a table making zongzi.

"Sister, are you back?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded with a smile and distributed the zongzi candy to the three people.

"I found some silver at home, and I bought some sugar. It's a holiday, it's going to be lively. The family is together. ”

"Don't spend money indiscriminately, there will be more places to spend money in the future."

While teaching Zhu Hongyu a lesson, Runye wrapped the last zongzi and put it in the basin.

"I'm going to steam zongzi, you clean up, let's have a festival."

Amber chased Runye out the door, insisting on getting a hand in the kitchen. Zhu Hongyu picked up the dustpan and began to clean up the mess on the table.

Zhan Ao sat on the side and opened the zongzi candy wrapped by his sister.

All this, Zhu Hongyu saw in her eyes.

"Zhan Ao, how is your homework lately?"

"It's good, I couldn't keep up with it at first, but Mr. clicked a sentence or two and came up at once."

"Did anyone bully you?"

Zhan Ao looked at his sister, as if he had guessed what was on his mind, and he was hesitant.

"If there is something that can't be solved, tell me, and I will make sure that they will always remember the lesson."

Zhu Hongyu knows that children with poor family conditions are easy to be bullied at school.

But no matter how poor the family is, they can't be poor in ambition, and they should rather bend than bend.

"Sister, I'll be the first to tell you!"

Zhu Hongyu swept the table with a rag and gathered together the trash created by the three people. Zhan Ao's expression was also a lot happier.

In the evening, the zongzi were steamed, and the four of them gathered together.

Zhu Hongyu ate one, the zongzi only have the taste of zongzi, the glutinous rice is soft and delicious, and the taste is sweet. There are no red dates and no red bean paste. After eating one, Zhu Hongyu stopped eating.

Runye saw that Zhu Hongyu didn't eat it, so he ate a few less in line with the principle of "respecting the old and loving the young".

Zhanao and Amber almost divided the ten small rice dumplings equally.

After eating, Zhu Hongyu packed up her things, and Runye and Amber were still sitting, as if they were going to talk about things.

Zhu Hongyu asked curiously: "The two of you want to ...... Class? ”

Runye nodded and motioned for Zhu Hongyu to go out. Zhu Hongyu pursed her lips, cleaned up the house and went out. Before leaving, don't forget to close the door.

I don't know what the master and apprentice are going to say, and they still avoid her?

Zhu Hongyu emptied the garbage and walked back to the door of the dining hall as if intentionally or unintentionally.

Her curiosity is like the Yellow River bursting its banks, washing away every internal organ, every meridian, and every pore.

No, she's really curious! How do these masters and apprentices usually get along? How does Runye teach his apprentice?

I couldn't suppress my curiosity, so Zhu Hongyu quietly squatted outside the door and eavesdropped.

“…… I haven't memorized the thousand-character text now, and I even said that I learned half a catty and eight taels, is it brainless? ”

“…… Don't sleep tonight, kneel on my back if you can't carry it! Today's back will not kneel until tomorrow! ”

Zhu Hongyu squatted outside the door, listening to Runye's tone and her legs weakened with fright. It's just like a few old professors who took classes at the beginning.

Terrible, terrible.

"It's still the same old rules."

Hey, what's the old rule? Zhu Hongyu was very curious and continued to listen.

"Master, I know it's wrong. Stop hitting me. ”

Amber cried all of a sudden, but Zhu Hongyu didn't knock on the door and went in to relieve her sister, she really wanted to see what the "old rules" of Runye were.

"Smack".

A crisp sound came from inside the house and outside the house, Zhu Hongyu understood, hit the palm.

At this time, Zhu Hongyu hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Dao Chief, my liver hurts, oops, it hurts to death, help."

Runye heard Zhu Hongyu knock on the door, put down the ring ruler in his hand and opened the door.

"It hurts again? Let me see. ”

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly gave Amber a look, and Amber fled immediately, and Runye realized that she was designed.

"I think you're pretending to be notoginseng in atractylodes, and you're addicted."

"No, no, no, I am a banlan root in the depths of the mountains, and you are the old ginseng of the Changbai Mountains. You're a big guy, you're awesome, and everything you say is right. I don't have any qualifications to give you shade. ”

Zhu Hongyu said as she nodded her head, like a wall grass.

Runye slapped Zhu Hongyu's head, of course, this slap was not heavy at all.

"You're just an old ginseng, I'm not that old."

"Alright, don't be angry. Our peasant children are stupid and slow to learn. She couldn't read all the words, and it was even more difficult for her to study medicine. Teach slowly. ”

"Mainly, this is too stupid."

"Master Run, it's a big holiday, what homework do you want to check."

Zhu Hongyu persuaded Runye to leave the hall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Runye was persuaded back to the room by Zhu Hongyu, and Amber looked at all this and snickered, she suddenly found that her sister was in charge of the master, and the master was very obedient.

When it was time to go to bed that night, Vermilion washed up and lay on the bed, Amber's movements were slower.

Blew the lamp, put down the mosquito net, and quickly lay down beside Zhu Hongyu.

"Sister, you're so good, hehe."

"Don't get close to me first, how are you a doctor?"
