"Tower, are you up?" This morning, when the tower came back from practice, he was about to wash, when he saw Teacher Bai push open the courtyard door and walk in.

"Teacher Bai, it's early!" Iron Tower took a mouthful of water in his mouth and said hello indistinctly.

"It's still early? I've walked around the pond, like you young people, who know how to sleep lazy. Teacher Bai looked serious, and finally found an opportunity to teach the tower a lesson.

Tie Ta smiled silently, since he worshiped the master, the luxury of sleeping lazily has completely lost his chances. A while ago, he had something to delay for a few days, and today he got up early in the morning to practice two trips to Taurus Gong, and when he came back, he almost entered the house at the same time as Teacher Bai, but he didn't bother to explain these things, so let the old man show off the prestige of the teacher!

Seeing that the tower did not squeak, Teacher Bai became more and more proud, and said with a straight face: "What did you promise me?" It can't be forgotten, right? ”

"Teacher Bai, how dare I forget what you always explained! Isn't it just for the three of them? I remember! "The tower understands that the old man is here to find trouble.

"Since you remember, why didn't you come to my house for a few days?"

"Teacher Bai, it's not that I'm perfunctory to you, but I really can't spare time, and I don't have the skills!"

"Don't tell me those objective reasons, you just give me a word, do you want to go or not?"

"Go! I'll go today, okay? The tower was almost forced to cry by the old man.

"Words must count, otherwise I will cut off the teacher-student relationship with you." Teacher Bai left satisfied, and today his vanity was greatly satisfied.

The tower finished his breakfast like a cloud, and then went out in high spirits, with a book in his armpit and a brush pinned to his jacket pocket, very much like a teacher. Although today is Sunday, he can't care so much, and his classes are all based on his interests, whether you are Sunday or Saturday.

On the first day of class, you can't be empty-handed, Tie Ta also carried a box of candied fruit in his hand, which he gave to himself after helping Elder Lan with acupuncture a few days ago, but Tie Ta has been reluctant to eat, and good things should be shared with friends.

In front of it is Xiaobai's family, and since the new house was built, this has become their base camp.

"Dali, can you talk about hygiene? You've got the floors dirty. Xiaobai's crisp voice can be heard far away.

"I took a shower last week, and it's already clean, okay?" Vigorously smiled.

"Washed last week? OMG! No wonder you smell so much. Lightning shouted exaggeratedly.

"What is this, those cousins of mine only take a shower once a month, and I am already very hygienic compared to them." Dali doesn't care.

In the past, there were only two people arguing, but now after adding Xiaobai, it is even more lively, do they itch all over their bodies if they don't quarrel a few words every day? The tower shook his head helplessly, and flicked his fingers on the window.

The gate slammed open, and the three of them scrambled out, jumping and jumping around the tower.

"Big brother, why have you been there these days? Why did you suddenly play missing? Dali asked impatiently.

Tie Ta smiled, "I've gone to collect medicine." ”

Since curing Aunt Yu's stomach disease, his reputation has spread more and more in the upper circles of the Mara tribe, and he has become the personal doctor of the big men in the herd, and everyone has any headaches and brain fevers to come to him. In the past few days, the weather has been hot and cold, and the tower is even more busy, first helping the mountain to burn once, then giving a full body massage for several elders, and finally going to the top of the snowy mountain. Of course, this is not to play, but to look for thousand-year-old ginseng, this thing is for Elder Wang, he was injured in battle when he was young, because he did not take good care of it at that time, resulting in damage to his vitality, when he was young and strong, he didn't feel anything, and when he was old, he found all kinds of diseases. Originally, the master had a few high-quality goods, but they were all eaten by the iron tower like turnips, so he had no choice but to go up the mountain to try his luck. Maybe it's because of his good intentions, but his luck is really good, although he spent several days in the snow, he finally didn't return empty-handed.

"By the way, have you cultivated in the past few days since I was away?"

"It's business as usual, it's business as usual." Although Xiaobai has only been practicing for a few days, he has already fallen in love with this sport.

"Big brother, don't say you've only been gone for five days, you've left us forever, and a few of us will continue to cultivate." Lightning's memory is good, and he remembers the day the tower left.

Lightning, can you please say a few nice words? I'm strong, young, and I don't want to leave forever! The tower was extremely depressed.

With a "bang", he vigorously and coldly flicked the lightning and slammed it, and complained: "Aren't you cursing your eldest brother to death?" ”

Lightning touched his head and looked innocent, he just wanted to express that his determination to cultivate was very firm and he would stick to it forever, could it be that he was also saying the wrong thing?

"That's commendable." The tower hurriedly took out the gifts, and no longer had to stop their mouths with candied fruit, God knows what shocking things they would say, and they came to the lecture in a good mood, but they didn't want to be angry again and again.

"It's delicious."

"Big brother, you can eat some too."

The three of them chattered.

"I've eaten it, and it's all for you." Although they are not greedy, they still haven't eaten any of them, and as a big brother, they should be blessed to enjoy it, and it is difficult to do it themselves. Phew! Look at your own crow's mouth, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, how can there be any difficulty? was really confused by the kid Lightning, and the tower couldn't help but smack his mouth.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Why hit yourself for no reason? He asked vigorously.

"Oh, hit a mosquito." The tower smiled wryly.

Do you need to use so much force to fight mosquitoes? The three little guys were all surprised, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, not only ruthless to the lion, but also ruthless to himself.

"Lao Huang, what's wrong with you? Come on, Lao Huang fainted. Suddenly, Mr. Bai's exclamation came from behind the house, and he happened to help the tower out of the siege.

The tower ran over first, only to see Lao Huang foaming at the mouth and lying unconscious on the ground.

Teacher Bai stood aside at a loss, he happened to borrow something just now, and when he saw that he was unconscious, he quickly shouted for help, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's food poisoning." You can see it at a glance. He went into the kitchen and looked around, only to see that there were still some leftovers in the bowl on the stove, and the soup was thick and black, and when he looked closely, it was mushrooms.

Finding the culprit, it was much easier to treat, and the tower gently rubbed his abdomen a few times, and then pressed hard.

"Wow!" Lao Huangkou spit out a lot of food residues, and after spitting up a few times in a row, the amount decreased.

Tie Ta waited for him to spit out the bile before stopping, knowing that there was no big problem, he quickly made a fire and boiled a pot of licorice and mung bean soup. At this time, Lao Huang also woke up, and his spirits were much better after drinking the antidote soup.

The neighbors came to visit when they learned the news, and took this opportunity to popularize knowledge to them, "Uncle Huang is in a coma because he ate poisonous mushrooms, and the next time you pick mushrooms you don't know, remember to put a piece of white porcelain when cooking, if the porcelain turns black, it means that the mushrooms are poisonous." Don't panic if you accidentally eat it, you can spit it out with your fingers as soon as you dig it down, and then drink a bowl of licorice mung bean soup after spitting it out, and there is no danger to your life. ”

Everyone said "oh" in unison, this time it was really insightful.

"Tie Tower, since you have such good medical skills, then we will ask you to be the doctor of the tribe, as for the payment...... It's fresh fruits and vegetables that we grow ourselves. "Mr. Bai's attitude is very sincere.

Everyone applauded warmly, their eyes were full of expectation, the medical skills of the iron tower were much better than that Hu Banxian, no wonder the king and the elders came to him for medical treatment, and the most important thing was that he didn't have to spend money.

"Okay, I accept this glorious mission." Tieta happily agreed, it doesn't matter what the reward is, if you can use your medical skills to help more people, why not?

Lao Ma is also full of praise for the tower's righteous deeds, whether it is character or talent, this kid is impeccable.

……

Winter goes to spring, flowers bloom, this is the third year that the tower has followed the old horse to learn art.

The high-intensity training and the conditioning of precious medicinal materials made the tower grow into a giant beast more than four meters long, more than two meters high, and weighing more than two thousand catties. The limbs are thick and muscular, and the whole body exudes the beauty of strength and masculinity, giving people a strong sense of visual impact. What is particularly striking is the pair of horns, as thick as a child's arm, more than three feet long, like two sharp spears, majestic and murderous.

Practicing martial arts is of course the top priority of cultivation, but the other homework of the tower has not been left behind, after practicing the pure Yang Wuji Gong for two hours every night, he will secretly hide in the bed to read, and swim alone in the sea of books in the dead of night, this feeling is simply wonderful. Master's big wooden box is really a treasure chest, there are all kinds of books, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Mengxi Pen Talk", "Luban Book" These books are the favorites of the iron tower, and I have read each one two or three times, and I have benefited a lot from it. Of course, the most happy thing for the tower is that the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" was finally thoroughly studied by himself, went home and discussed with Yu Niang, simply changed the room on the street into a façade, and then hung a plaque of "Baoan Tang", and the first formal clinic of the Mara tribe was born.

After practicing every day, the tower put on a white coat, diagnosed and prescribed, and grabbed medicine and acupuncture, which was done in one go. In the past, everyone went to find those witch doctors when they were sick, and they spent a lot of money but did not cure their diseases, and the birth of the iron tower smashed all their jobs, and now people affectionately call him the iron doctor.

On the second day of the clinic's opening, there were two more apprentices, one was Xiaobai, who really fell in love with Chinese medicine. The other is Xiaohua, studying medicine is only second to her, and the most important thing is that she can be with Tie Ta every day, but unfortunately in addition to teaching medical skills, Tie Ta has never had any emotional communication with her. However, her arrival made Black Cloud ecstatic, and peeking at this beautiful shadow behind the window every day has become a part of his life.

The tower's kindness of giving medicine to doctors has been praised by many people, but some people have expressed their incomprehension, and Black Cloud is one of them. "Ata, what's this picture? You don't need money to see a doctor, and you don't need money to take medicine, isn't this a way to blame yourself? It's really unproductive. Every time he passed by the clinic, he smiled disdainfully.

Today's black clouds can be said to be infinitely beautiful, this guy is from a famous family, excellent in character and learning, modest, coupled with the support of the mountains and the elders, the status of the Mara tribe is advancing by leaps and bounds, and now he has become the second leader of the herd, every day is full of opportunities, busy with national affairs, the practice of the tower is very naïve in his eyes, and it is also very stupid.

Perhaps in order to train Heiyun, Dashan handed over all the affairs of the tribe to him to deal with, and he became the shopkeeper, drinking tea and chatting with those old brothers every day, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was ready to retire.

Heiyun is indeed a talent, reducing taxes internally, developing production, and managing the tribe in an orderly manner. Externally, it pursues a foreign policy of putting peace first, and a memorandum of understanding was signed with the giraffe tribe a few days ago, and some long-standing territorial disputes have been satisfactorily resolved. As a peace-loving tribe, as long as there is no war against each other, it is worth making some concessions appropriately, anyway, the Mara tribe has a lot of land, and it doesn't matter how little land there is. Now the prestige of Heiyun is increasing day by day, and people all give him a thumbs up and praise when they see him, the only thing that makes him a little regretful is that Xiaohua is still lukewarm to him, maybe it's time to put the marriage event on the agenda.

……

"Master, this is the fruit wine I brewed according to your method, you can taste it." The tower handed a small glass of wine to the old horse's mouth, the color was bright red, and there was a fruity fragrance.

"Well, that's good! A little sour, a little sweet, it's the taste of home. The old horse sat up from the bed with a trembling head, and drank it all down, the wine running down the corners of his toothless mouth, and wetting the hem of his clothes.

Tie Tower's nose was sour, and his heart was indescribably uncomfortable, since the master who used to be a dragon and a tiger had a cold half a month ago, his body was not as good as day by day, and he tried his best but there was still no improvement. As a doctor, although he was unwilling to face it, he also had to accept the cruel fact that Master was old, and I am afraid that the end was approaching.

"Tie Ta, how long have you been learning with me?" The old horse suddenly asked.

"Two years and three months." The tower remembers it clearly.

"Time flies, two years go by in the blink of an eye. Master is old, and there is nothing left to teach you. The old horse sighed.

"Your body is so strong that you can kill a tiger, how can you say that you are old?" Tie Ta smiled in his mouth, but his eyes couldn't help but moisten, compared to two years ago, the master was indeed much older, the wrinkles on his face were like ravines, and his teeth were almost all gone, and he didn't eat anything else every day except for drinking a few sips of fruit wine.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, which cannot be resisted by human beings, and I have lived for more than 60 years, which can be regarded as a long life." Lao Ma said with a smile, "I have cultivated aisles in my life, traveled to the sea, fought wars, although my life is not magnificent, but it can be regarded as a fulfilling life, of course, what makes me most happy is to accept you as an apprentice." Tie Tower, you are loyal and honest, and you value love and righteousness, which is an advantage, but you must also stick to your own principles, and remember not to blindly trust others, so as not to be taken advantage of. That brother of yours has a bad heart, and the city is very deep, I can already see it the first time I see him, you must be careful. ”

"I see, Master." Although Tie Ta said this, he didn't think so, the master didn't know enough about Ah Yun, and it was normal to be prejudiced against him.

"Master has walked more bridges than you have walked, you will never be wrong, and one day you will recognize his true colors. But then again, although that kid in Heiyun is treacherous, I also believe in my own ability to be a fugitive and will never be toyed with. The old horse grabbed the wine jug at the head of the bed and drank a few sips, and then said: "Master's illness is not cured, in case I really go one day, don't be sad, remember one thing, put my grave to the northeast, there is my motherland Huaxia, although I can't return to my hometown in my lifetime, but I hope to be able to look at her every day after I die." Lao Ma burst into tears as he spoke, it is the wish of every distant wanderer to return to the roots, but it is a pity that he does not have that blessing.

The tower panicked, is this explaining the aftermath? This atmosphere was so sad that he quickly changed the subject, "Master, people are iron, rice is steel, it's not okay to drink all day, what do you want to eat?" ”

"I've eaten a lot of delicious food in my life, but the most memorable thing for me is the steamed crab in my hometown, if I can taste it again before I die, then I have no regrets." This trick really worked, Lao Ma is an authentic foodie, and the iron tower suddenly hooked out the gluttonous worms in his stomach.

"You rest first, I'll help you get it." The tower went out happily.
