After going to the circuit court once, Yi Songjuan figured out a lot of things, and she decided to let go of her resentments and live her life in her own way.

As usual, Yi Songjuan would go up the mountain from time to time to pick some herbs, and when she had accumulated more, she would take them to the city to sell. Although she met acquaintances in the forest farm on the road, regardless of whether others liked them or not, she would still take the initiative to smile and greet them, but she no longer liked to stick into the crowd as before, always looking at the crowd from afar, thinking about her own thoughts alone.

She had thought about leaving this place, but she couldn't think of a better place to go. She didn't want to go back to her mother's house on the other side of the mountain, that home didn't belong to her, and she had never experienced the feeling of home. She had no other better means of earning a living than being able to collect medicine. In order to survive, she reclaimed all the wasteland in front of the house and behind the house, and turned it into a medicine garden full of various medicinal herbs.

Yi Songjuan's medicinal materials are sold to the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall", when she went to the city to see a doctor in the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall", occasionally chatted with the old Chinese medicine doctor Tang about Chinese herbal medicines, the old Chinese medicine doctor saw that she was very good, so he asked her if she was a kind of medicinal materials, and she told her life truthfully. The old Chinese medicine doctor said, "You can send all your Chinese medicinal materials here in the future and sell them to our Chinese medicine hall." The price, although you can rest assured, it will only be higher than the outside, not lower than the outside, but you must be selected according to my requirements. ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor taught her some commonly used medicinal materials and the types and processing methods of rare medicinal materials that she was able to collect in the mountains. Since then, she has become a frequent visitor to the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall".

On this day, Yi Songjuan sent the selected sun-dried medicinal materials to the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall" as usual, and after putting down a few medicine baskets, she was about to step forward to greet the old Chinese medicine doctor, but unexpectedly saw a figure that had disappeared for more than two years.

Du Shaoyou stood beside the old Chinese medicine doctor and listened respectfully to what the old Chinese medicine doctor kept talking to him. Du Shaoyou kept nodding his head, and he was still holding a few herbs in his hand. Yi Songjuan was stunned, and after a while, the old Chinese medicine doctor finished telling Du Shaoyou about it, looked back at Yi Songjuan and said with concern: "I haven't been here for a long time, are you sick?" Seeing that your face is very bad, do I want to prescribe you some medicine to recuperate? ”

Yi Songjuan smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, it's not convenient to take medicine recently, and I will definitely trouble you when I need it." The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded, and was busy treating the patients waiting in line.

Du Shaoyou didn't seem to see Yi Songjuan, he always kept his head down and rummaged through all kinds of medicinal materials in the yard, dozens of bamboo dustpans were placed on the ground, and there were all kinds of Chinese herbs in them, he carefully turned them over one by one, and then straightened up and walked straight into the dispensing hall.

The dispensing hall is next door to the consultation hall, half the size of the consultation hall, and there are several rows of medicine cabinets neatly arranged against the wall. The medicine cabinet is covered with checkered drawers of various sizes containing medicinal herbs, and the names of medicinal herbs are pasted on the panels of the drawers.

The patients who sought medical advice came out of the consultation hall one after another, took the Chinese medicine prescription prescribed by the old Chinese medicine doctor, and walked into the dispensing hall to pay the fee and take the medicine. There are three people busy in the dispensing hall, a young woman who is in charge of collecting medical bills, and the other two who are in charge of dispensing medicines.

Yi Songjuan looked at Du Shaoyou, who skillfully dispensed medicine to patients, with some curiosity, and couldn't help but have questions in her heart. Where has he gone in the past two years? How did you become a dispenser of "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall"? In just two years, have we become passers-by? Why did he treat me like this?

Xiao Zheng, another dispenser in the dispensing hall, saw Yi Songjuan, who was responsible for inspecting the scales every time she sent medicinal materials. Xiao Zheng walked out of the dispensing hall and asked with a smile, "Did you send medicinal herbs, come with me." ”

Yi Songjuan followed Xiao Zheng to send the medicinal materials to the medicinal materials warehouse next to the dispensing hall, and after passing the scales in different categories, Xiao Zheng issued her a receipt in different categories. Yi Songjuan took the receipt to the dispensing hall and gave it to the young woman who charged.

The woman who charged took Yi Songjuan's receipt, took out the electronic calculator and calculated it carefully three times, and then showed the result of the calculation to Yi Songjuan, Yi Songjuan nodded and smiled and said, "Well, no problem, thank you." The woman who charged took out more than 2,000 yuan, counted it three times in the same way, handed it to her with a smile and said, "You're welcome, these medicinal materials are no longer easy to find on the mountain, and you must be working hard." ”

Yi Songjuan took the money and put it into the small bag she was carrying, subconsciously glanced at Du Shaoyou, who was still engrossed in dispensing medicine for patients, and turned around and walked out of the dispensing hall.

Coming out of the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall", Yi Songjuan stood alone in the alley for a while, and then walked out of the alley and found a seat by the window in a snack bar next to the alley.

The proprietress of the snack bar came over with a smile on her face and asked, "Alone?" Order now? Yi Songjuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have to wait for someone, can I wait a while and order again?" The proprietress still smiled and said, "Yes, you can take a look at the menu first." As he spoke, he placed a menu in front of Yi Songjuan, turned around and beckoned the other guests to go.

Yi Songjuan looked at the narrow alley, and thought about his own thoughts, will he come to see him? As she left the dispensing hall, she quietly threw a note to him: "I'll wait for you outside the alley." After Du Shaoyou glanced at it, he casually threw the note into the paper basket, and then continued to dispense medicine to the patient according to the prescription.

After about half an hour, several patients walked out of the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall" one after another, and left through the alley. The proprietress came over with a smile again, and Yi Songjuan said with some uneasiness: "I have to wait for a while, can I?" The proprietress smiled and left again.

After dozens of minutes, Du Shaoyou finally came out of the "Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall", he stood at the mouth of the alley and looked around, and then walked into the snack bar. After seeing Yi Songjuan, he said to the proprietress who was following him, "Find us a private room." The proprietress smiled and said, "Then please go upstairs, there is a private room upstairs." ”

Du Shaoyou walked in front, and Yi Songjuan followed behind and went upstairs. The proprietress opened the last private room, smiled apologetically, and said, "There is only this one, the private room is a bit small, but if there are only two of you, you can still do it." Du Shaoyou looked at the private room and said, "Okay, you bring the menu, I'll order a few dishes, just hurry up." ”

The proprietress handed the menu in her hand to Du Shaoyou, and Du Shaoyou handed the menu to Yi Songjuan: "You can order it." Yi Songjuan didn't take the menu, and looked up at Du Shaoyou: "It's better for you to order." Du Shaoyou took the pen in the proprietress and hooked a few dishes: "A scrambled egg with pine nuts, a fried bacon with fresh bamboo shoots, and a roast chicken ......"

The proprietress took the menu and explained with a smile: "There are a lot of guests today, please wait a while, I will try to let the chef make it faster." Du Shaoyou nodded: "Then let's do it as soon as possible." The proprietress said yes as she walked out of the private room and closed the door of the private room.

Yi Songjuan's eyes turned a little red: "You still remember what I like to eat, thank you very much." Du Shaoyou said calmly: "No matter what, we can't deny that we have had a relationship, we should try our best to leave a good impression on ourselves." ”

Yi Songjuan didn't expect that after two years of not seeing him, Du Shaoyou seemed to be a different person, he was obviously mature, not only the beard on his face, but also this calm demeanor, which he didn't have in the past. The young face that blushed when she spoke to the woman had quietly disappeared, and an indescribable sense of loss arose in her heart.

"I didn't expect a few years to pass, why are you here? When did you start dealing with traditional Chinese medicine? Looking at your method of dispensing and dispensing medicines, it seems that you have always been in this line of work, and you are too skilled. Yi Songjuan said with emotion.

A trace of confusion flashed in Du Shaoyou's eyes, and then he regained his previous calm: "You want to know my experience in the past few years, right?" There's nothing to say, because it's very simple. Will I still be able to stay on the farm? Definitely no, I don't have the face to stay any longer. I haven't learned any trades before, and I can also say that I am an idle person, and I have to survive after leaving the forest farm. It's true that you can find a place to work at random, but when you're young, you can, but what if you're old? People must have a skill. ”

Du Shaoyou then explained: "You don't know that the old Chinese medicine doctor Tang of the 'Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall' is my uncle, and he once encouraged me to study Chinese medicine, but he did it because he couldn't be admitted to the Chinese medicine school. After running away from home, I was also desperate, so I told my uncle that I still wanted to study Chinese medicine, at least to make a living. He agreed, and sent me to a well-known Chinese medicine hall, a company run by his classmates, whose workers were required to attend an in-house training school before they could take up their jobs. After mastering a certain amount of knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, you can start an internship and finally become an employee of the enterprise. I studied at that company for a year, interned for another year, and just came back. I didn't expect to meet you here, I want to remind you, just know about this matter, don't let my uncle know who you are, otherwise he won't let you step into the 'Tang's Chinese Medicine Hall' for half a step in the future." ”

Yi Songjuan's eyes moistened: "I hurt you, I am indeed not a good woman, in front of you, I willingly admit that I am not a good woman." Do you hate me? You must hate me, and you should hate me. ”

Du Shaoyou picked up the teapot on the dining table, poured a cup of tea into the cup in front of Yi Songjuan, and poured a cup of tea into the cup in front of him. He took a sip gently, then raised his eyes to look at Yi Songjuan and said, "I don't hate you, I can't find a reason to hate you." It's just that this incident has brought indelible damage to my relatives around me, and this kind of injury can be said to have hurt the bone marrow and broken my heart. Not only that, but their face was completely ruined by me, and they were deeply hurt from the inside out. They should hate me, I ruined their happy life. I had no choice but to flee, go as far as possible, and disappear completely from their sights. ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm in trouble." Yi Songjuan finally understood how deeply she had hurt the man in front of her, and perhaps it would completely change his fate.

Du Shaoyou smiled calmly, and his smile was a little bleak: "Let's finish this meal together, don't meet alone from now on, don't do anything together, otherwise it will aggravate my guilt." We can be right and wrong, but we can't know our mistakes and not change them, and we can't go all the way to the dark. My uncle told me that repentance is the best medicine for life, and it is also a necessary medicine for life, and if a person wants not to lose himself, he must have this medicine to know his mistakes and correct his mistakes. ”

Another burst of thunder sounded, the rain was heavier, Yi Songjuan came back to her senses, she hadn't seen Du Shaoyou for a long time, and I heard Xiao Zheng say that he went to the field to learn art again.
