Chapter 010: Poisoned
As soon as the Jiang family left, Bai Zhiqing quickly closed the door of the compound.
"Mother, I don't like them." Mu Zishu said with a calm face.
"Since I don't like them, I just have less contact with them in the future." Bai Zhiqing didn't like them either, but the other party was a relative of the Mu family: "Why did you come back early today." ”
Mu Zishu told her what happened at the training ground.
"Aside from the wound on my back, what else did I hurt?" Bai Zhiqing teared off his clothes in distress and checked his body, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that everything was fine.
If it weren't for the fact that the family was too poor, the second son would not have been so thin and bullied.
Mu Zishu shook his head: "No." ”
Bai Zhiqing took out the wound medicine from the cabinet and helped him apply it.
This box of wound medicine was sold to them at a low price by Doctor Xi who took pity on Mu Zishu and was often injured.
Bai Zhiqing applied the medicine to Mu Zishu before asking Mu Qingluo: "Xiaoluo, are the meat buns and water bags also the apprenticeship gifts given to you by Doctor Xi?" ”
Mu Qingluo nodded.
Bai Zhiqing rubbed her head and said gently: "Doctor Xi is a good person, it is your blessing that he is willing to take girls as apprentices, you will follow him to learn medical skills, and you will have a skill in the future, which will still be good for you and your relatives and friends." ”
Mu Qingluo looked up at her: "But didn't my mother say that women can't study medicine?" ”
"When I say that women can't study medicine, it's not really that they can't study medicine, but that the world doesn't allow it. The status of women is too low, and they do not have access to the knowledge of practicing medicine on weekdays, so they do not trust the medical skills of female doctors. In addition, due to the fact that men and women do not kiss each other, female doctors will face many strange eyes and gossip when practicing medicine, which will put you in the midst of everyone's accusations. It's not an absolute thing, though. In the palace, there are still female medical officers, who are mainly responsible for treating the royal women. ”
Mu Qingluo felt sad for ancient women: "Mother, do you agree with me to study medicine?" ”
Bai Zhiqing smiled slightly: "Of course I agree." ”
"Why?" Mu Qingluo felt that Bai Zhiqing was a very enlightened mother.
Bai Zhiqing smiled slightly: "When you grow up, you will know." ”
Adults are like this, they can't answer children's questions, so they push the questions to the children when they grow up, and let the children understand by themselves.
However, Mu Qingluo is not a child, she knew that her mother had something to hide from her as soon as she saw Bai Zhiqing's expression.
Bai Zhiqing turned her head to look at Mu Xiuyi who was lying on the bed: "Since Doctor Xi accepted Xiaoluo as an apprentice and gave him a piece of silver as an apprenticeship, then we can't let Xiaoluo dress too shabby and lose Doctor Xi's face, I will go to the city early tomorrow morning to make a new dress for Xiaoluo." ”
Mu Xiuyi agreed: "Okay, Xiaoluo is a little girl, so she should dress up beautifully every day." ”
"The rest of the money ......"
Before Bai Zhiqing finished speaking, Mu Qingluo preemptively said: "Mother, you can buy an ox cart to travel." ”
Bai Zhiqing was slightly stunned.
"My mother walked more than 20 miles with her little brother on her back every day, and she wore out several pairs of shoes, which was really hard, but with an ox cart, it was different, and she didn't have to go out early and return late in the future, and she could take us to the city to play."
Mu Xiuyi chuckled: "Xiaoluo has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for her mother." Ah Zhi, you just listen to Xiaoluo, and buy an ox cart in the city tomorrow. ”
Although Mu Xiuyi didn't say anything, she was also very distressed that Bai Zhiqing went out early and returned late every day, and she was even more worried that she would encounter danger outside as a woman.
In fact, it's useless for him, if it weren't for ......
Bai Zhiqing saw Mu Xiuyi's eyes dimming, and knew that he was thinking about his physical disability again, so she hurriedly spoke: "Okay, listen to you." ”
Before dawn the next day, Bai Zhiqing took Mu Zichao out of the door.
Mu Qingluo and Mu Ziyi waited until dawn before leaving home to find Dr. Xi.
Seeing that they were coming again, Doctor Xi raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here again?" Help your second brother get medicine? ”
Mu Qingluo confessed to him: "I can't explain to my family where the money came from, so I can only lie to them and say that you accepted me as an apprentice to give me an apprenticeship, and I will come to your house every day to report for duty." ”
Doctor Xi smiled angrily: "The old man has lived for so many years, and it is the first time that he has heard of apprenticeship, and the master will give him a salute. ”
"Who made me poor, I can only let the master worship the apprentice." Mu Qingluo walked to the medicine shelf: "You are busy, don't worry about us." We'll find something to do to pass the time ourselves. ”
Doctor Xi still has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't care about them anymore.
Mu Qingluo stood in front of the medicine shelf in a daze.
In ancient times when thieves swarmed, her mother and her little brother were easily targeted by thieves when they went out early and returned late, so they needed some means to defend themselves, and those who were powerless could only protect themselves by using hidden weapons or poisons.
But at the moment, there is no material to make hidden weapons, so they can only make poisons, and it is their best choice at present, first, anyone can use it, and second, it is light and easy to carry.
Mu Qingluo was glad that she could prepare poisons, and also thanked her mother's maiden family in her previous life was a medical family, and her mother taught her how to treat people since she was a child, and her uncle liked to study poisons, and her medical skills and poison refining skills were learned from them.
Mu Ziyi learned that she stared at the medicinal herbs, then threw them into his mouth and chewed them, and in an instant, the bitter and spicy taste overflowed in his mouth.
He hurriedly spit out the herbs: "It's not delicious, it's not delicious." ”
Mu Qingluo laughed and said, "How can the medicine be delicious." ”
At this time, the young man in white who stayed in Dr. Xi's house yesterday walked out of the house, and then came to the courtyard to practice swords.
"Immortals, they are immortals, and my little sister is immortals." Mu Ziyi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "The immortals look good." ”
The young man in white glanced at him faintly.
Mu Qingluo looked up at the young man: "Do you want to learn?" ”
Mu Ziyi nodded: "I want to learn, I want to become an immortal." ”
Mu Qingluo came to the pestle mortar with the selected medicinal materials, and beckoned to Mu Ziyi: "I'll teach you after I finish the medicine for me." ”
When her ability reaches level two, she can help him and Zishu open up the eight veins of the Qi Jing and cultivate internal strength.
"Okay." Mu Ziyi rushed to sit in front of Mu Qingluo.
After Mu Qingluo taught him how to make medicine, he leaned back in his chair to absorb the sunlight and cultivate.
The scorching sun at the border pass is hotter than anywhere else in the Great Han Kingdom, and if there is no accident, after seven days, her light ability will be increased to level 2, and her internal strength will also increase.
The young man in white turned around and went back to the house after practicing his sword.
As he stepped inside, a gust of wind blew, and he sniffed his nose when he noticed a foul smell in the air.
Then, his face changed greatly, and he quickly raised his finger and pointed at a few acupoints on his body.
The young man in white shouted in a deep voice, "Doctor Xi." ”
Doctor Xi, who was feeding the horses in the stable, said angrily: "Little ancestor, what's the matter with you?" ”
"I'm poisoned." The white face of the young man in white turned even paler.
Doctor Xi's expression changed, and he hurriedly checked his pulse: "How could you be poisoned?" Has your enemy quietly slain you? ”
