"Xie Lingbai."

"Huh?"

Xie Lingbai looked at Wen Changheng, only to see him slowly spit out two words: "Down/stream." ”

Xie Lingbai was speechless, staring at this guy carefully for a while, how could a person say these strange words so indifferently every time, without changing his face at all.

"What's down/down? Is washing mandarin ducks/bathing considered inferior/stream? No, Lao Tzu doesn't want to take a mandarin duck/bath with you at all, I said that it was a misunderstanding just now, so soak it yourself! ”

Xie Lingbai got up and walked out, completely forgetting what he was rushing in for, and he only knew that if he continued to stay, the atmosphere would become more and more weird.

When I got back to my room, I remembered that I hadn't discussed the salary increase, so I lay on the bed a little tired, thinking seriously about the days ahead.

It is impossible for him to stay in the Wen Mansion for the rest of his life, after all, he still has Xie Jinqing with him, and he can't let Xie Jinqing grow up to be a current person.

Before, I only cared about studying medicine and entering the palace to find out the truth, but what if it was confirmed that it had nothing to do with the imperial doctor in the palace at that time? Or what about what to do after finding out?

Maybe when he learns that he can change towns and become a doctor or something, at least it will be impossible in Xiyao City, even if he opens a medical center, no one will dare to come to the door.

Xie Lingbai began to regret what he had done before, if he didn't offend so many people, then he might be able to find a few more jobs now, after all, he could get off work in the evening at Yucaoxuan, and he could do another job at night.

However, it is useless to regret it now.

Early the next morning, Xie Lingbai got up and helped Xie Jinqing get dressed, and the two had a casual breakfast after washing, and then sent Xie Jinqing to the school first, and he was sick a few days ago and took several days off.

"Brother, I don't want to go to the academy."

Xie Jinqing has always liked going to school very much, and has never said such a thing, Xie Lingbai is a little puzzled: "Why don't you want to go?" ”

"I... I just don't want to learn words anymore, I feel annoyed, brother, don't send me to school. ”

"Nonsense, where can you go if you don't go to the academy? Besides, you used to like what the master taught you very much, why don't you like it now? ”

Xie Jinqing lowered his head and refused to speak, Xie Lingbai squatted down at the level of him, looked at him and asked seriously: "Xiao Jin, tell my brother well, are those bastard boys in the school bullying you?" If yes, brother will help you beat it! ”

"No, I just don't want to go......"

"Look up at me."

Xie Jinqing reluctantly looked up at Xie Lingbai, Xie Lingbai asked, "Just look me in the eye and tell me if you like the academy?" ”

"Brother...... Xie Jinqing's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little choked, Xie Lingbai knew that he definitely didn't like it, but why did he suddenly refuse to go?

"Xiao Jin, my father and mother are gone, you are my only relative in this world, if you refuse to tell me the truth, then I will be very sad."

"I heard Sister Xiaorui say that my brother went to Yucaoxuan to do chores."

"So what?"

"Brother makes money so hard, I don't want to ......"

Xie Ling was confused, "Do you think the tuition fee for going to the academy is too expensive?" ”

Xie Jinqing nodded, Xie Lingbai suddenly felt a little distressed, a seven-year-old child, but he has to worry so much, in the final analysis, it is useless for him to be a big brother.

"Fool, I did go to Yucao Xuan, but I didn't go to do chores, but I want to learn medicine well and then revitalize the Xie Family Medical Center to comfort my father and mother in the spirit of the sky, there are countless medicinal materials in Yucao Xuan, I just went there to study."

"Really?"

"Of course, I'm studying there, and Boss Wen doesn't charge tuition, so I have to help do what I can, and I can't repay other people's good in vain, right?"

Xie Jinqing nodded, "Dad said that others are good to us, and we must also be good to others." ”

"That's it, Boss Wen saw that I was there to help, and he would pay me a monthly fee, so that I could study and earn money at the same time, the best of both worlds."

"Xiao Jin also wants to make money."

"Silly boy, you are only seven years old, you should follow the master in the academy at your age, and when we grow up, we will go to the imperial city to take the top prize and come back, and then let my brother follow, how about it?"

"Well, I must study hard and take the top prize."

"Good, go, brother will send you to the school."

Xie Lingbai stood up, took Xie Jinqing's little hand and walked out, Xie Jinqing sniffled, and did not refuse, and the two went out of the Wen Mansion together.

Sent Xie Jinqing to the school first, Xie Lingbai turned his head and went to Yucao Xuan, and when the long-term workers in Yucao Xuan saw Xie Lingbai coming again, they all muttered in their hearts that they didn't know when this demon king of the mixed world would strike.

Xie Lingbai still has a medical book in his arms, and every time he finishes his own internal affairs, he will take out the medical book and look at it a few times when he has time, and if he doesn't understand something, he will go to the counter to take a brush and circle it to make a mark, thinking that if he has a chance in the future, he can ask the doctor.

Wen Changheng doesn't come to Yucaoxuan every day, so most of the time Xie Lingbai walks back by himself, at first he felt far away, and after walking back, his feet hurt at night, but after a long time, he got used to it.

Almost five or six days later, Wen Changheng came to the shop again, and Xie Lingbai was classifying the medicinal herbs that had been accidentally knocked over by others just now.

"Master, you're here!"

Seeing Wen Changheng, Xie Lingbai shouted loudly, and when he heard a few people around him muttering that he liked to pat on the back, he didn't smile and didn't refute, just thinking that it was still morning, and he didn't know how long Wen Changheng would stay in the shop, if he could stay until evening, then he could rub the carriage again.

Wen Changheng ignored him, Uncle Gu took a booklet and handed it to Wei Ze beside Wen Changheng, and then said, "There are a lot of kinds of medicinal materials needed this time, why don't you bring more people over to help?" ”

"Yes, too."

When Uncle Gu saw Wen Changheng walking out, he instructed Xie Lingbai: "Xiao Xie, just go with the boss." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Zhu Village to pick up medicinal herbs."

Xie Lingbai didn't really understand much, but since he asked him to help, he didn't ask much, walked directly outside, and then climbed into the carriage.

After getting in the car, he saw Wen Changheng looking at him, and he explained, "Uncle Gu asked me to come with me to help." ”

Wei Xue didn't hear Wen Changheng's answer on the wheel, thinking that it was a tacit acquiescence, so he rushed the carriage towards the city gate, Xie Lingbai lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "Master, how long will it take to arrive in Zhu Village?" ”

"One day."

"So long?"

Wouldn't it be a whole day in this carriage, so it would be better to help in the shop, and the range of activities is a little larger.

Sitting for a while feeling a little bored, he took out the medical book in his arms, this is the one he bought himself, and he has read more than half of it in the past few days.

It's not that he's slow, it's just too hard to understand.

Wen Changheng caught a glimpse of a lot of marks on his book, and he didn't say anything, he thought that Xie Lingbai said that he wanted to learn medicine on a whim, but he didn't expect to persist for so many days.

At noon they stopped in the woods to rest for a while, ate some dry food, and then continued on their way.

"Master, can you read medical books?"

"I'm not a doctor."

"Seeing so many medical books in your study, I thought you had read them all, ah, these are too difficult, I can't understand many places, and Uncle Gu only knows more about medicinal materials."

Xie Lingbai was a little distressed, there was no one around him who knew medical skills, alas, it was all because he was unwilling to study seriously before, otherwise he wouldn't have been so painful.

How will he pass next year's Taiyi selection meeting?

"Master!"

At this time, Wei Xue, who was sitting outside, suddenly shouted in a low voice, his voice seemed to be a little serious, and then there were some fighting sounds.

"What's the situation?"

Xie Lingbai put the medical book aside, and then lifted the curtain, only to open it a fiery arrow flew towards him and shot directly at the carriage.

Xie Lingbai was taken aback, only to see Wei Xue fighting with a few black-clothed people in front of him, he remembered the people who went to the Wen Mansion to kill him before, and thought that these people were in the same group as those last time?

"Master, hurry up and get off the carriage, it's on fire!"

A few more arrows came one after another, and the arrows were all lit with fire, Xie Lingbai and Wen Changheng got off the carriage, and it didn't take long for the carriage to burn, Wei Xue returned to them and raised his sword to cut the horse rope, and said to Xie Lingbai: "You go first!" ”

After speaking, he stepped forward to block those black-clothed people again, Xie Lingbai climbed on the horse, and then said to Wen Changheng: "Get on the horse!" ”

Wen Changheng glanced at Wei Ze, and then turned over and sat behind Xie Lingbai, the two of them rode a horse and ran forward, and a man in black wanted to catch up, but was pierced in the chest by the sword kicked by Wei Ze.

However, at this time, another man in black shot an arrow in the direction of Xie Lingbai and them, and the arrow slashed through the horse's leg, and the horse roared in pain, and then began to scurry around.

"Oh no, the horse is out of control!"

Xie Lingbai couldn't hold on to the horse rope and was almost freed, but fortunately, a hand reached out behind him and grabbed the horse rope together, although he was not fallen, but the horse was still a little uncontrollable.

"There's a fork in the road."

Xie Lingbai saw that there were two roads in front of him, and reminded him, Wen Changheng replied: "Left." ”

Xie Lingbai wanted to let the horse run to the left when he heard this, but it was obvious that the current horse refused to listen to his command at all, and directly chose the right path after rushing over.

"Damn, what should I do if I run wrong?"

However, even if you know that you are going in the wrong direction, you can only watch it go wrong, and now the crazy horse is running very fast, and it is dangerous to jump rashly.

I don't know how far I ran, and gradually a village appeared not far in front of me, and the horse broke directly into the village gate, kicked over several braziers on the ground and knocked over a table, Xie Lingbai and Wen Changheng on horseback were also thrown down.

"Oops, I've fallen to death!"

Xie Lingbai shouted, but when he stood up, he found that the scene around him seemed to be a little weird, only to see more than a dozen braziers placed in this open space, forming a circle, and the table that was overturned in the middle was full of steamed fruits, incense and candles.

Most importantly, they were now surrounded by a group of people who seemed to be a little vicious.

"Who are you? Dare to interrupt the sacrifice! ”

The leader shouted, Xie Lingbai turned his head to look at Wen Changheng beside him, and said in a low voice: "Master, what's the situation?" ”

Wen Changheng didn't speak, but his expression was obviously not very good, and the people around him looked like ordinary villagers, and Xie Lingbai realized that there was actually a girl tied to the pillar behind them.

"Help... Help me......"

The girl muttered a little weakly, and Xie Ling looked at the group of villagers in confusion and asked, "Why are you tying her up?" ”

"She's a sacrifice."

"What sacrifice?"

"Naturally, it's for the mountain god, but you two people who don't know whether to live or die dare to interrupt such an important sacrifice, once the sacrifice is interrupted, the sacrifice loses its effect, and it has to be replaced."

"Brother Wang, I think I'll sacrifice him!"

"That's right, he rushed in on horseback, and I sacrificed him!"

The group of people gradually approached, and Xie Lingbai just wanted to ask what was being sacrificed, but a net was put on his head and he was directly caught in the net.

"What are you doing?"

Those people didn't explain, they directly took a rope and tied him with the net, Xie Lingbai was a little angry: "What the hell are you crazy people doing?" Why don't you let go of Lao Tzu soon! ”

Seeing that they dragged him to tie him to the other side of the pillar, Xie Lingbai begged Wen Changheng for help who was watching the play on the side: "Wen Changheng help, you have to think of a way, now is not the time to stand there and watch the play!" ”

Wen Changheng looked at the person in the lead and asked, "What do you do about sacrificing to the mountain gods?" ”

"It's not about you!"

The tone of those people was very bad, and then the woman who was tied to the pillar said: "Some time ago, the village chief and a few villagers began to become crazy and crazy not long after they came back from hunting in the mountains, like an evil spirit, and recently they have been unconscious, and the old man said that he had offended the mountain god, so he ......"

"So I'm going to burn you?"

Xie Lingbai felt a little speechless, the woman nodded, and at this moment Xie Lingbai had already been tied up, and he struggled for a while, but he didn't break free.

Come on, not only will this woman be burned to death, but he will also be buried with him!

"Ignition!"

"Wait."

Wen Changheng said something to stop him, and those people looked at him with some displeasure and said, "What? You want to be tied up too? We don't mind having one more sacrifice, maybe the more mountain gods there are, the happier we will be. ”

"That's right, if you talk nonsense again, we'll tie you up together!"

Xie Lingbai rolled his eyes, it seems that Wen Changheng is unreliable, is he really going to die young? No, if he dies, what will Xiao Jin do!

But what else can be done now? I don't know if Wei Ze can come over quickly? No, they ran in the wrong direction just now, Wei Xue didn't know, maybe they rushed towards Zhu Village now.

Looks like it's dead!

"This girl just said that the village chief and several villagers are now unconscious, have you ever thought about what would happen if they woke up and realized that their lives were exchanged for other people's lives?"

In the face of their questioning, Wen Changheng asked something that was not very relevant.

"It's worth exchanging two lives for a dozen lives!"

"What if there was a better way?"

The men looked at each other, and the one at the head asked, "What way?" ”

"He's a doctor, why don't you let him go and treat the village chief, maybe he can be cured?!"

Wen Changheng's words pointed to Xie Lingbai, Xie Lingbai was stunned, thinking to himself what kind of doctor he was, he just read the medical book for a few days and recognized some medicinal materials, how could he see a doctor!

"Impossible, Dr. Chen's superb medical skills are helpless, let alone this hairy boy!"

"What each doctor is good at is different, anyway, just to see what you don't lose, if he can't cure the village chief, it's not too late to burn him to death."

The villagers discussed it in a low voice, and seemed to be a little moved by Wen Changheng's proposal, and after a while, the leader said: "Okay, I will believe you once, if it is not cured, not only will he die, but you will also have to be buried with him." ”

Wen Changheng was noncommittal, several strong men stepped forward to loosen Xie Lingbai's rope, Xie Lingbai took down the net by himself, and then looked at Wen Changheng speechlessly, what kind of bird method is this, let him go to treatment, isn't this equivalent to death!

"Do you really think I can heal people?"

Xie Lingbai walked up to Wen Changheng and couldn't help but ask, Wen Changheng nodded and said, "Doctor Xie's wonderful hand rejuvenation, I naturally believe it." ”

Seeing Wen Changheng say this sentence calmly, those people were suspicious of Xie Lingbai at first, but now they have some expectations in an instant, and they are all thinking about whether this person is really powerful?!

Xie Lingbai twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that this deal must be a loss, he would have just killed him, but now it's okay, just buy one and get one free, so should he be glad that he has a companion on Huangquan Road later?!
