Chapter 12 Particularly Delicious Wild Fruits

There was nothing to say all night, the next day the family got up early, Mu Wenbin packed his luggage, his grandmother originally prepared a futon for him, but he didn't want it, he said that he would live as he wanted to live, and then hugged his sister and played for a while, and said to his sister that he went into the mountains to find that kind of delicious fruit for his sister, and his sister was very happy to wave her little hand and say goodbye to her brother after hearing it. When he left, Mu Wenbin specially told his grandparents not to tell him about his master.

When he arrived at the master's place, Mu Wenbin found that there was a bed made of straw mats and a freshly woven mat in the cave. It turned out that I went up the mountain to cut the grass yesterday to make a straw mat and mat for myself, and I was very moved.

The master called him to the edge of the pool outside, sat on the ground by the stone he had made yesterday, and then took out a lot of medicinal materials from his sleeve, Mu Wenbin immediately recognized what these medicinal materials were when he saw them, and then the master told him what the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials meant, how to use them, and so on. As before, it was just two hours of explanation in the morning, and in the afternoon I went into the mountains to pick herbs and fruits.

When he entered the cave at night, the master was just meditating on the mat, and Mu Wenbin asked puzzledly, "Master, don't you need to sleep?" ”

"No, I sleep when I meditate," the master replied.

Hearing these Mu Wenbin grunted and crawled up, no wonder the master just prepared a straw mat, and the master used to sleep while sitting. Then he meditated like this master, and after nearly a year of studying with him, he now has no problem meditating for an hour at a time, and his legs are not as numb as he was the first time. But the next morning I woke up to find myself lying on a straw mat with a straw quilt on my body. The master was not in the cave, and when he came out and saw the master meditating on the edge of the small pool, he also silently went to the master's side to meditate.

In this way, day after day, every ten days, the master would let him go home. Soon two months passed, Mu Wenbin was very smart, although there were more than 2,000 kinds of drugs in the two books, but the medical theory was the same, and the master explained several drugs to him in detail, and he almost understood all of those drugs.

School is about to start again, so the master asked him to go back, let him come back on holidays, give him two books when he left, and ask him to memorize the prescriptions in them, etc.

In this way, time flies in a blink of an eye, three years have passed, Mu Wenbin is 12 years old, in addition to going to school in the past few years, he has helped his grandparents work after school, and he will go to the master on holidays. Over the years, he has not only completed the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Shennong's Materia Medica", but also learned "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Qianjinfang", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and so on.

Elementary school finally graduated, he could have gone to middle school a long time ago, and after the first grade, he jumped directly to the third grade, but then the master knew that he wouldn't let him skip a grade anymore, and let him learn one level at a time, and then he understood that the master was to let him be surrounded by peers, although his heart was much more mature than his peers, but he was still just a few years old, and jumping across grades was not a good thing. So in the past few years, people no longer call him a prodigy, but their family doesn't care about this.

On the first day of the summer vacation, he got up early in the morning and went into the mountain, his grandparents have been used to it over the years, he ran faster and faster as he grew older, this time it only took half an hour to arrive, he didn't see the master in the cave, he shouted outside the cave for a long time, but he couldn't find the master, maybe the master entered the mountain, anyway, it was not the first time he met the master was not there. He didn't think much about it, so he ran to the edge of the pool to meditate, and when he got to the edge of the pool, he saw five fruits on the stone platform, one of which he had never seen.

The fruit was almost transparent, and you could see a hint of milky juice inside. Seeing these fruits, he thought that the master specially left them for him to be breakfast, so he unceremoniously picked them up and ate them, and took a bite full of sweetness, especially delicious, better than other fruits he had eaten before, and after eating the fruits, he was still unsatisfied, and he licked his fingers when he looked at the juice on his hands, and then ate the remaining fruits, and felt refreshed after eating.

But after a while, I felt a stomachache, and it hurt more and more, and I quickly ran into the grass and took off my pants, and it came and went as fast as it came, and it was over in a while, but within two minutes of coming out, I felt it again, and I quickly ran to the grass, and I came five or six times like this, and he was about to lose his strength.

He has always been in good health, and he has never been sick since his apprenticeship, and it is estimated that he licked his fingers after eating the fruit just now, and his hands may not have been cleaned. He wanted to cry without tears, the master was not there, and he didn't know where the master put the medicine.

The master came twice again and finally came back, he watched the master run out of the mountain in a hurry, he squatted in the grass and called the master pitifully, the master looked at the stone platform in a daze, his lips moved and wanted to say no words, and after a while, he looked at Mu Wenbin, who was pale and wanted to cry without tears, and asked, "How many times?" ”

Mu Wenbin replied weakly: "Seven times or eight times, it seems to be the eighth time, no, this is the ninth time." Master, where did you hide the medicine? Hurry up and give me some medicine to eat! ”

The master was taken aback and said, "Then you don't need to take medicine, it's all right this time." ”

After two minutes, Mu Wenbin came out of the grass, looked at the master sitting on the edge of the pool, with a serious face, he dragged his weak steps to the master's side, and just wanted to speak, he immediately turned his head and ran to the grass.

The master was completely stunned, looking at the stone platform for a while, and looking at the grass for a while, his fingers trembled a little.

This time, it took a while for Mu Wenbin to come out of the grass, and when he came to the master's side, he said weakly: "Stinky old man, didn't you say it's okay?" You'd better hurry up and give me some medicine, or your apprentice should be one step ahead of you. As the relationship between him and the master deepened, the master didn't know when he started calling him stinky boy, and sometimes he also called him stinky old man.

The master stared at him with his mouth wide open for a while, nothing happened, he reached into his sleeve and took out an herb, at this time Mu Wenbin's eyes were dizzy, and he didn't see any medicine put in his mouth and chewed it twice before swallowing it.

Finally, I don't feel that anymore, but now my stomach is empty and my limbs are weak. The master took out a few more fruits and handed them to him, and he picked them up and put them in his mouth, and just as he was about to bite into them, he stopped. The master looked at him inexplicably, and he took the fruit to the edge of the pool, washed the fruit and his hands with the water, and then ate it.

The master looked at him with a black line on his face, and then said to him, "Stinky boy, do you have strength?" Go to the cave and bring me the little stone on the side of the mat where I often meditate. ”

He tried to regain some strength, and then he came to the cave, and there was indeed a small black stone on the side of the mat where the master used to meditate, and he took it out, and the master told him to put it on the stone platform in front of him, and he did so.

The master didn't say anything, looked down at the stone, his eyes widened, then rubbed it with his hand, made sure he was right, picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, then stood up and walked around the stone platform, as if looking for something.
