Chapter 30: Russell (7)

The man in white must be his father's friend, right?

If not, how could he drink tea so calmly in front of his father?

Thinking of this, I cleaned up and obediently went over with dozens of medical books.

I thought my father would be waiting for me here. But who knows, when I came to Yuede Garden, there was only the man in white.

I watched him meditate in extreme relaxation, oblivious to the food on the table. I was a little panicked for a while, and I didn't know how to call him.

He was a good friend of my father's, but he never introduced me to him. Rashly calling him uncle or uncle is a bit of a suspicion. But it doesn't seem appropriate for me to call him an adult.

So, after hesitating at the door for a long time, he finally didn't dare to step forward.

"What are you doing standing outside?" Suddenly, the man in white opened his eyes and said to me.

I was a little overwhelmed, but I couldn't stand still anymore. So, I had to force myself to calm down, and greeted with a smile, "Sir, good ......"

Then, with a big bow.

Although I don't know what his identity is, it is not wrong to call him Mr.

But who knows, as soon as the word "gentleman" came out, the man in white laughed, "Sir? I'm not a gentleman. Since ancient times, Mr. has been a powerful person who knows astronomy and geography. And I'm just learning some carving insect skills, and I'm just living in vain. ”

When I saw him like this, I no longer held back, "Then don't call you sir, what should Su'er call you?" ”

"Is what you have in your hand the medical book you've been reading all these days?" He didn't answer me, just stared at me with a dozen medical books in my hand and asked.

I nodded, "Yes." ”

"Show me." He said again.

I stepped forward and offered all the dozen or so medical books.

He roughly flipped through the medical books with his slender snow-white fingers, and asked, "Can you understand these things?" ”

"I understand some, but not all." After that, I said, "Mao Langzhong only let me read books, and never taught me anything." So...... I didn't understand it completely. ”

"How much do you understand?" He asked again.

"Five or six points."

"Although they are the most common medical books, it is not easy to understand five or six points of knowledge when no one is teaching them." He nodded, and said.

Seeing this, I hurriedly asked, "You...... Knowing how to heal? ”

However, the man in white didn't answer me, but just asked me a mindless question, "Go and see, what's on the dinner table?" ”

I turned my head and glanced at the dining table, there were fish and ducks, chickens and meat, it was very complete, "Chicken, duck and fish are not bad, are you hungry?" ”

"Go, pour me a cup of tea." He still didn't answer me, but took care of himself and told me to do something.

I nodded, and poured a cup of tea for the man in white. However, just as I handed him the teacup with both hands, he suddenly said, "Kneel down and kowtow to me three times." ”

I was slightly stunned, not knowing what he was trying to do. But the person who came was a guest, and I was the adopted son of the Luo family, so naturally I couldn't lose my manners and make the Luo family embarrassed.

So, he withdrew his hand, obediently kowtowed three times, and said, "Please drink tea." ”

The man in white hummed softly and took the tea in my hand. After he finished drinking a cup of tea, he took out an extremely transparent jade pendant from his side and said, "From now on, you will be my apprentice." In the future, I will teach you the art of medicine. I hope that you can live up to your father's expectations and study hard and succeed. ”

After that, before I came back to my senses, I continued, "As your master, I will live in this Yuede Garden. From tomorrow onwards, you will move to Yuedeyuan with you to eat and live with me. ”

I took the jade pendant in a daze, and I didn't dare to believe that I actually worshipped a master! And this master still looks very powerful.

Yes, the chicken, duck and fish are all complete, and kneeling down and kowtowing to pour tea is not the ritual of apprenticeship?

Come to think of it, my father must have been unable to bear to let me go to Mao Langzhong to suffer again, so he helped me find a master and teach me medical skills in the house.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly kowtowed three more times, "Yes, Master!" ”

……

I moved to Yuedeyuan and lived next door to Master.

Every morning, after serving the Master's breakfast, he would go with him to the study to read medical books. Then, under his guidance, learn acupuncture, acupuncture, pulse diagnosis and so on.

It was only for the first time since I followed Master that I felt the difference between a healer and a healer.

That Mao Langzhong and the master are really incomparable.

Master taught me things and never delayed time. It's fast, but it's careful. Soon, I mastered some basic things, and I was praised by Master.

After seeing my efforts, Master spared no effort in teaching me.

His views on medical skills are not quite the same as those of others. A lot of knowledge is on the wrong side. However, it has to be admitted that he is a genius.

While I learned from Master how to save people, I also learned how to use poison. Every day is very fulfilling, and there is no extra time to think about other things.

For example, who the master really is, where he comes from, and where he is taught.

Until one day, Master said that he would take me to meet someone.

Master said that the man was his benefactor, his master. That is, my ancestor.

I have reached the point of admiration for Master, and I am naturally very curious about his Master.

What kind of powerful person can be the master of the master?

So, I left the capital with Master and traveled all the way, going to many places that I couldn't name.

"Su'er, if you see your ancestor later, just kowtow and say goodbye. In addition, don't say what shouldn't be said, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, do you understand? ”

At this time, our master and apprentice were under a green mountain, and the wild grass under the mountain was dense, and every tree was as big as the sky.

Looking up, the white mist fills the air, and the top of the mountain is not visible.

I listened to Master's reminder and nodded, "Master, Su'er understands!" ”

"If your ancestor asks you, how are you doing in medicine? Remember, don't be presumptuous in expressing your opinions. What you learn on a daily basis, you only need to show two or three points, and you can't be too smart. After thinking about it, the master instructed again.

When I heard this, although I had some doubts in my heart, I still nodded, "Okay!" ”

Seeing this, Master nodded with satisfaction and led me up the mountain.

"Master, what kind of person is Master?" I followed closely behind Master and asked.

She ...... It's a ......" Master thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable word after all. In the end, I can only say, "Your ancestor is a very good person." ”

Good? I'm afraid it's not easy.

"She's a weird, unpredictable, unpredictable person, isn't she?" I tilted my head and said what was in my mind.

When the master heard this, he stopped suddenly, "Who told you?" ”

"No one!" I shook my head, "Master explained that Su'er can't talk nonsense and ask questions. When answering what kind of person Shizu was, he pondered for a long time.

Come to think of it, Shi Zu must be a peculiar person. Ordinary peculiar people are not easy to say clearly in a word or two. ”

After listening to my words, Master looked at me with some complexity and profundity, "These words, don't let your master listen to them." Otherwise, there will be no good fruit for you to eat. ”

I saw Master's deep concern, so I smiled and said, "Master, then I won't speak from now on!" ”

……

I don't know how long I walked before Master and I came to a cave together.

Master pulled me to kneel outside the cave and didn't speak.

After waiting for a while, a voice came from the cave, "Who did you bring here?" ”

The voice is very cold, cool.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if you have ever been safe?" Hearing this, the master raised his head, "The apprentice was in the capital two years ago, and he took in an apprentice. I came to greet you today, and I brought him to recognize the door. ”

"Come in." The woman in the cave said.

When Master heard this, he nodded at me, got up, and led me into the cave.

There is a cave in the cave, and there is everything you need for life.

The full fragrance of medicine is almost smoky to death.

A woman with white hair and blood lipids was sitting on a stone bench. She had a poisonous scorpion in her hand and was bleeding.

The claws of the poisonous scorpion cut through her soft, but she still looked as usual.

This is Master's Master......

Unexpectedly, it was such a young and beautiful woman.

It's just that although this woman is beautiful, she doesn't look like a good person.

En'...... Terrible, just terrible.

As soon as I saw her determined eyes, I thought she was a devil, not a healer.

"Master, the apprentice has come to greet you." When the master saw the master, he bowed again and said goodbye.

The ancestor didn't raise his head, "This is the apprentice you received?" ”

Seeing this, the master glanced at me, "Don't hurry up and say hello to the master." ”

"Sun disciple Russell, I have seen the ancestor!" I knelt down and kowtowed to my ancestor three times.

Shizu heard the sound and finally raised his head, "Get up." ”

Immediately after that, he looked at me carefully for a while before he began to ask me questions about studying medicine.

I kept in mind Master's advice and only showed the two or three things I had learned on weekdays. For the more difficult questions, I even used the wrong answers to deal with things.

Except for answering Shizu's words, he didn't take the initiative to speak the rest of the time, nor did he take the initiative to ask her questions.

Gradually, I saw the impatience on the face of the ancestor, "This is the good apprentice you accepted?" With such qualifications, it is worth bringing him to me. ”

I squinted at Master, waiting for his answer like a Master. After all, the reason why I behaved like this in front of my master was all ordered by my master.

I was very curious as to why he asked me to mislead my ancestor like this.

"Master, Su'er's qualifications are indeed not high, but fortunately, she works hard to learn things." Master glanced at me and said as usual, "At his age, he can distinguish two or three herbs in the same month, and he doesn't feel bored, which is very rare." ”

After that, he said, "What's more, when the apprentice is alone, he sometimes feels lonely." After having a vegetarian, the daily life of the apprentice is not only taken care of, but also accompanied by someone to relieve the boredom of the apprentice, which is also a blessing.

The apprentice knows that the master has always liked children with high qualifications. It is also not appropriate to bring Su'er to meet Master today.

But Su'er, a poor child, has lost his biological parents since he was a child. The apprentice brought him here today just to tell the master.

The apprentice had already given his jade pendant to Su'er as a token to prove that he was his own apprentice. In the future, if Su'er meets the master, she hopes that the master can look at the face of the apprentice and take care of him. ”

Shi Zu's face became more and more unhappy when he heard that it would take me a month to debate the two herbs.

But later, Xu was touched by Master's words, and she could only sigh and say, "Since you have already given him the jade pendant, I can't say anything else."

In the end, he can accompany you to relieve your boredom, and it is not useless. For your sake, I will admit this grandson. ”

"Thank you, Master." When the master heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the master said, "Our master hasn't seen each other for a long time, but I have a lot to say to you." ”

With that, he glanced at me.

I stood still, overwhelmed.

It stands to reason that I should have left after reading the eyes of my master. But Master's previous advice was nothing more than not wanting me to show my wisdom too much in front of my master.

So, if I leave now, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

Sure enough, the master coughed lightly, "Su'er, I have something to talk about with your ancestor, so you go to the outside of the cave and keep guard." ”

"Yes, Master."

I came to the entrance of the cave alone and stood, a little far away from Master and Ancestor.

But with a little bit of translucent light, you can still see the humility of the master in front of the master.

This is the first time I've seen such a Master. went to a peerless elegance, like a ...... Grandson.

It's very mediocre and mundane.

……

Master and Master talked in the cave for about two hours, and I stood outside the cave for two hours.

Just when my back hurt and my hands and feet were numb, Master finally came out of it, "Su'er, let's go." ”

I glanced back at the cave and found that the master had continued to play with her poisonous scorpion and had not looked up at us.

So, I had no choice but to nod and leave with the master.

After leaving the cave, the master regained his dusty aura, and his elegance was so dazzling that it made people feel extremely dazzling.

The bearing of a worldly master cannot be stopped by anyone.

Seeing this, I was even more curious about what Master had done. But because he promised the master, he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask, so he kept holding back and didn't speak.

"You think it's weird?" Later, we went down the hill to the town and found an inn. It wasn't until it was time to rest at night that Master asked me.

I shook my head, nodded again, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Master sighed, "Su'er, there are some things that Master can't talk to you about now. But one day, you'll understand. ”

At this point, he repeated, "Yes, one day you will clearly know Master's good intentions. ”
