Chapter 4: Seeking a teacher and worshipping his father
Song smiled miserably and said: "I have run all over the large and small medical halls in the imperial city, no one can save my Wu'er, my Wu'er is obviously not dead, their quacks also let me bury Wu'er, I watched Wu'er's body gradually get cold, and I couldn't wait to ......" The latter words were not said, but Lu Xiao could still guess.
Unexpectedly, this woman regarded herself as the last straw of life, and Lu Xiao felt a little sad for the first time.
"Leave it to me, and I'll send her back after three days."
Song nodded, knowing that she had met a good person this time.
After three days, Lu Xiao really brought Jing Wu to her, although her body is relatively weak now, she is still alive and well, which is already thankful for the Song family, holding Jing Wu's small body tightly.
"Mother." Xiao Jingwu screamed weakly, and his tone was quite dependent and missing.
"Wu'er is fine, mother is here." The Song family thought of what Jing Wu had experienced at a young age, and his heart ached, and he couldn't wait to break the Lin family into thousands of pieces, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.
The two mothers and daughters hugged each other and burst into tears.
After a long time, Xiao Jingwu slowly let go of Song's embrace, pointed at Lu Xiao and said, "Mother, this is my master, I will follow him to learn medical skills in the future." ”
When Song heard this, he said worriedly: "Wu'er, you are still so young, I heard that studying medicine is very hard......"
Song was interrupted by Jing Wu before she finished speaking, and she said in immature words: "Mother, Wu'er is not afraid of hardship, the ancients said, if you suffer hardship, you will become a master, and Wu'er will be a master, so that my father will come back to accompany my mother and Wu'er." ”
Listening to such fairy tales, Song was moved to tears, she wiped the corners of her red eyes with her sleeve, she was worried these days, she was afraid that Wu'er would not be able to save her after three days, so she couldn't even sleep well.
"Mrs. Song, I don't want you to repay me, I look at Wu'er quite a lot, it's better to worship me as a teacher, I will teach her medical skills carefully."
Lu Xiao also felt funny at this time, in the past, others begged to worship him as a teacher, when was it his turn to beg others, it was really feng shui in turn!
The Song family hesitated, and Jing Wu saw it and hurriedly said: "Mother, Master is a famous Lu Shen Doctor, can't he still believe it?" ”
Song knew about Doctor Lu, but she didn't expect him to be Doctor Lu, which was simply shocking, she thought that Doctor Lu had to be an old man, but she didn't expect that he was actually a handsome young man.
Jing Wu knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her mother's expression, and couldn't help but be amused, her master had always been low-key, and sometimes he liked to pretend to be old in a funny way, so that others didn't know his real age.
"It turns out that Engong is the Lu Divine Doctor, the woman is short-sighted, and she doesn't know the name of the divine doctor." The Song family was a little hesitant, and they had only heard of the famous Lu Shen Doctor, but they never knew that they would see it one day.
I heard that Doctor Lu is not greedy for the glory of the world, and even the emperor's account is sometimes not sold, and his whereabouts are erratic, and she is really lucky to see him because of fate, and it is also a blessing for Wu'er.
Song looked down at his well-behaved and sensible daughter, and nodded approvingly.
"I knew my mother would agree." Xiao Jingwu tilted his head and smiled sweetly.
Lu Xiao was not surprised, saying that he was conceited, anyway, this apprentice must be accepted.
"I'll take that Jingwu away, she's still very weak now, and she needs to take care of herself." Lu Xiao saw that Song was reluctant, so he explained.
Song rubbed her hands, her face turned pale all of a sudden, she knew that it was her own fault, who knew that the old lady was so ruthless, and Wu'er would suffer so much at a young age.
"That ......"
The Song family wanted to speak, but Lu Xiao guessed what she wanted to say, and said directly: "Don't worry, I'll send Jingwu back in a few days, and I plan to stay in the imperial city for a while, so I don't have to worry about not seeing Jingwu." ”
Hearing Lu Xiao say this, Song Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to kneel down as soon as his legs bent, but Lu Xiao quickly helped her up.
"Thank you, Doctor Lu, your great kindness and virtue woman cannot be repaid." In the end, I was a little choked.
Lu Xiao also understood her thoughts, took Jing Wu's hand and said, "Didn't I say it, I don't need you to repay it." ”
Then he glanced at the short Jing Wu beside him and said: "Jing Wu and I are destined, my master, that is, your ancestor, said that I have two disciples in my life, one I have found, and the other is you." ”
"Me?" Jing Wu's mouth grew and he couldn't believe it.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, it's you." ”
Then, Lu Xiao no longer looked at Jingwu, but looked in one direction, as if looking at the void, and said faintly: "Huangchenggen, five-year-old sister, general's daughter, rich and noble." ”
Jing Wu didn't quite understand what he said about herself, but she knew that she was five years old this year, and her father was a general.
Song Shi understood, she was stunned, didn't her family live in the imperial city, and Wu'er was five years old, her father was a general, but she didn't know about Fugui's life, she only knew that Wu'er almost lost her life this time.
When she thought about it, the ancestor of Wu'er was still a god operator, she always thought that those god calculations were fake, so she was very repulsed, but she didn't expect to save Wu'er's life by mistake.
"God forbid!" Song folded his hands and muttered to the sky.
Lu Xiao smiled, he didn't know how the master calculated it, and he was not interested in knowing, anyway, he was very satisfied with this little apprentice, although he was a woman, he was not squeamish.
I still remember when she woke up, he thought she would cry in fear, but she was very calm, just like an adult, not crying or making trouble, actively cooperating with the medicine, and her face did not change.
He knew that the medicine was bitter, but she drank it very happily, and if he hadn't seen her face wrinkled, he would have thought she had no sense of taste.
He gave her a preserves, but she didn't take them, but he thought she was asking him to feed her.
"I don't eat it." Turning his head, he dodged the compote that was almost to his lips.
Lu Xiao was surprised, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you eat it, aren't you afraid of bitterness?" ”
She replied, "I don't eat it because I have to remember this suffering, and one day I will give it back to her." Speaking of the last "she", he saw a trace of coldness in the girl's eyes.
"Surely you will repay it." Lu Xiao ate the candied fruit and used such a word to describe her.
"It's better to repay than to make promises." Jingwu turned his head away from him.
Lu Xiao laughed, she was obviously a five-year-old child, but she was as sensible as an adult, and she couldn't help but sigh: This girl is different, and she will definitely become a master in the future.
"Shall I be your master?" Lu Xiao asked.
He actually had an intention to ask like this, he came to the imperial city this time to accept another disciple to see if there was anyone who was destined, he didn't really care about the master's prophecy, what he was looking for was fate.
"Can a woman also study medicine?" Jing Wu had only seen that the doctors in the hospital were all men, and he didn't know that women could also study medicine.
Lu Xiao let Jing Wu lie on the bed and covered the quilt before saying: "Naturally, there are women studying medicine in my imperial country, and there are also female medical officers in the palace, just to facilitate those harem women." ”
"Oh." Jing Wu understood, it was for the sake of men and women's defense, this Song family had told her.
"Master!"
Jing Wu's indifferent cry made Lu Xiao stunned for a moment, then smiled, and took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her.
This is a half-ring jade pendant, it looks like it is half missing, the peculiar thing is that the outside of this white jade is carved with the pattern inside, and there is a bird-shaped pattern in the jade pendant, and I can't see what kind of bird it is.
"This is a greeting gift for you." Lu Xiao explained.
Jing Wu took the jade pendant with that small hand, the tentacles were warm, and he looked at the half-ring jade pendant over and over.
"Master, is there a bird in here?"
Lu Xiao moved when he heard this, he didn't expect her to be able to see that there was a pattern in the jade pendant.
"It's not a bird, it's a phoenix." Lu Xiao explained.
"Oh." Jing Wu didn't know what a phoenix was, nor did he know what it meant, thinking it was just the name of a bird.
Lu Xiao saw that she was having fun, left for a while, and found a red rope to put on the jade pendant and tie it around her neck.
Jing Wu wanted to take it out, but Lu Xiao stopped her and said, "Don't take out this jade pendant easily, and don't let others see it, even if it's your mother, promise to be a teacher." ”
Seeing Lu Xiao's serious expression, Jing Wu nodded ignorantly.
Lu Xiao's face softened, and said, "Your senior brother also has this jade pendant, and the broken half is wearing on your senior brother." ”
"I still have a senior brother?" Jingwu said in surprise.
"Well, your senior brother is seven years old this year, two years older than you, but he is not here." Lu Xiao had a headache when he thought of that apprentice.
"Master, I want to sleep." Jingwu dozed off a little after drinking the medicine, but she still held on, and now she finally can't hold on.
When Lu Xiao saw it, she immediately helped her body to lie down, tucked the quilt for her, stood in front of the bed and glanced at her sleeping face, before picking up the medicine bowl and leaving.
The wooden door closed with a "squeak", and the room returned to calm, only the sound of Jingwu's steady breathing sank and floated.
……
A few days later, Lu Xiao led Jingwu back to her home, Jingwu was happy all the way, the smile on her face never fell, and Lu Xiao who watched it also became happy.
Arriving at Jingfu, Lu Xiao first got out of the carriage by himself, and then came down with Jingwu in his arms.
"Foggy."
Jingwu seemed to hear a familiar voice, and when he turned his head, a familiar and tough face came into view.
"Father."
Jing Wu struggled to get out of Lu Xiao's arms, and trotted into Jing's father's arms, looking elated, like a bird with wings spread and flying high.
Father Jing's handsome face also showed a smile, stretched out his rough big hand to hug Jing Wu, and then let her down, the scene of father and daughter meeting was really touching.
"Father, when did you come back? The fog doesn't even know. Jing Wu pouted and said unhappily.
Father Jing pinched her soft little hand, which seemed to be thinner, and a touch of guilt rose in his heart.
