Chapter Twenty-Eight: My Favorite Thing to Watch People Be Buried......

The two of them have a rabbit leg each, and the house where they gnaw is full of fragrance.

"Rabbit leg is so good! These are the last things that people in the mountains lack! You'll eat here for the rest of your life, and you'll be able to do it! ”

Lao Liu said enthusiastically,

"Do you want more? I'll tell my mother-in-law to make two more! ”

Xu Fenglei hurriedly waved his hand and said vaguely:

"Enough is enough, eating too much supper at night is easy to get diabetes......"

"It's not too early, you should rest early!"

Old Liu Hanhan smiled, answered, and then exited the door.

In fact, there are two bedrooms in his house, one is for his octogenarian mother, and the rest is the one where Xu Fenglei and Sun Simiao live.

This also means that he and his mother-in-law can only lay on the floor in the hall.

But even so, Lao Liu was also willing.

……

Inside the house.

Xu Fenglei ate his mouth full of oil, gnawed the rabbit leg to the bone, and then shook his fingers.

"Look at your ......," Sun Simiao said disdainfully, "If you were an old man's disciple, you would have been beaten a long time ago." ”

"Hey, what's this?"

Xu Fenglei said nonchalantly,

"It's not dry, it's not clean, and it's not sick if you eat it."

As he spoke, he got on the kang and took out a string of copper coins from his arms, holding them in his palm and reciting them.

"Huh? What do you do? Sun Simiao bit down a piece of rabbit meat and said curiously, "Divination?" What do you occupy? ”

Crash!

As soon as his words fell, the copper coin in Xu Fenglei's hand had already been thrown on the kang.

The six copper coins were slightly scattered, but still lined up in a row.

Sun Simiao fixed his eyes.

"Yin and Yang Yin, Yang Yin and Yang, what has words is Yang, and what has no words is Yin...... That's how you see it, right? ”

He muttered,

"What kind of hexagram is this?"

Xu Fenglei glanced at it and said with a smile:

"Fire on the water and fire on the outside, the danger on the outside and the inside are clear, these sixty-three hexagrams, water and fire are both hexagrams."

"What's the point? What's going on? Sun Simiao asked.

Although he specialized in medicine, he was also interested in metaphysics.

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Ji Bu hid in the Zhou family, and he got this hexagram, and then met Liu Bangye, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty."

Xu Fenglei smiled mysteriously,

"Pick it up. This hexagram is the image of the king, and it is also the image of respect. ”

"The man I'm waiting for, he's coming soon."

Sun Simiao: "??? ”

The old grandson is full of question marks, what is this kid talking about?

He was about to ask, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a human face outside the window, and was startled!

"Who?!" Sun Simiao exclaimed.

When the candle flame went out, the face was a little clearer, and it was a young child.

"Grandpa, I want to study medicine."

The child's pupils were as black as ink, and his eyes were blazing,

"Take me as a disciple, I will kowtow to you......"

As soon as the words fell, his head popped up.

Sun Simiao got up and looked out, and the child was actually kowtowing at the base of the wall.

"Eh, kid, don't knock, don't knock......"

Sun Simiao poked out his head and said,

"Get up first, get up, come in and speak."

The boy suddenly got up and slammed twice on the door.

"Who?"

"Ah...... It's Xiaolinzi, don't worry, I haven't forgotten, tomorrow morning, ......"

"Huh? Grandpa called you in? ”

“……”

After a brief conversation outside, there was a gentle knock on the door twice.

"Come in." Sun Simiao said.

With a squeak, Lao Liu walked in with the child, with a helpless face.

"Mr. Sun, this kid is ......"

Poof!

The child immediately knelt down towards Sun Simiao.

"Grandpa, take me as an apprentice! I want to study medicine! He looked up at Sun Simiao, his eyes firm and clear.

"You kid, why ......" Seeing this, Lao Liu went up and wanted to pull him up, but was stopped by Sun Simiao waving his hand.

"It doesn't matter."

Sun Simiao smiled kindly and smiled at the child,

"Your name is Xiao Linzi, right?"

"Can you tell me why you want to study medicine?"

Xiao Linzi pursed his lips.

"My dad died."

He bowed his head and said,

"If I knew how to heal, he wouldn't have died."

"So I want to study medicine so that my grandmother and my mother won't die too."

Lao Liu: "......"

Others are stupid.

This answer is also too ...... Let's put it bluntly.

Xu Fenglei watched all this with great interest, smiling without saying a word.

"I see."

Sun Simiao nodded suddenly,

"I agree with this reason, old man."

"But studying medicine is very hard, and it is also a skill that depends on talent, it not only requires you to memorize various medical classics, but also needs to travel through mountains and rivers to find medicinal materials, and it also requires the ability to do not mess with your hands and not shake in the face of danger."

"There are many disciples around the old man, who have studied for more than ten years or even decades, and their medical skills are still very mediocre, and they are not qualified to see people......

When Xiao Linzi heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"I'm not afraid of hardship! Don't be afraid of getting tired! ”

He slammed his head on the ground and said stubbornly,

"Ask my grandfather to pass on my medical skills!"

Sun Simiao stroked his beard gently.

"This son has a pure heart, it's better to accept it, anyway, you have so many apprentices, it doesn't matter if there is one more."

Xu Fenglei quipped.

Sun Simiao rolled her eyes.

"The old man is not accepting apprentices as before, and the apprentices have to pay their hearts, so that's it, but if you teach and learn, you can't learn it, it's not the life of eating this bowl of rice, and it's a waste of delaying your youth, which is fatal."

He shook his head and said,

"Learn from the past......"

"Nowadays, if you want the old man to move the mind of accepting apprentices, he has to investigate many aspects, and it is not enough to rely on a heart that is not afraid of hardship and tiredness."

Xu Fenglei bowed slightly.

Old Sun Tou felt that he was getting old, and he didn't want to take in disciples indiscriminately, and wanted to find a real heir to the mantle.

"Son, you get up first."

Sun Simiao helped Xiao Linzi up and stroked his beard,

"If you want to worship me as a teacher, it's not impossible, but you need to pass my investigation."

"If the investigation passes, I will take you as a disciple and pass on your healing skills; If you can't get through, there's no way to do it. ”

"All in all, grandpa, I'm willing to give you a chance."

When Xiao Linzi heard this, his face suddenly bloomed with surprise!

"Really?"

"Master!"

He didn't say a word, and bangbang kowtowed three times!

Xu Fenglei shouted in his heart that this kid was on the road, and before he could skim the eight characters, the master shouted first!

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, you can go back to sleep."

Sun Simiao smiled,

"It's the time to grow your body, and you can't delay resting."

"Hmm!" Xiao Linzi replied heavily, turned around and ran away.

"This kid is really pure-minded." Sun Simiao saw that he came and went like the wind, crisp and neat, and he already had a little affection in his heart.

He accepts apprentices, and the most important thing is quality!

And pure, is undoubtedly the best quality, and in this regard, Xiaolinzi has passed the first level.

"Lao Liu, what's the matter with this kid. His dad is gone? ”

Xu Fenglei asked.

"This ......"

Lao Liu hesitated for a moment, and then sighed lightly,

"Speaking of which, it's also a hard-working baby."

"His father is a good hunter in the forest, so he is nicknamed Linzi, and he is very skilled, but when he was hunting in the forest a few days ago, he fell into the deep pool without paying attention."

"He walked well in the woods, but he couldn't water, and he almost drowned! The man who went with him finally rescued him, thinking that he would be fine if he was rescued, but that night he had a high fever, trembling all over, and he didn't sweat, like crazy, he couldn't hold it down! ”

"Within two days, he died......"

Sun Simiao's expression froze.

"The people in the village said that he collided with the water ghost in the deep pool, and was possessed by the water ghost and took away his soul!"

Lao Liu shook his head and said,

"No, tomorrow he will just pass the seventh day, and the people in our village will have to give him a burial on the mountain, and I am also one of the coffin bearers."

There are not many people in the village, and if something happens to someone, it is natural for the whole village to help together.

"Water ghosts?"

Sun Simiao looked at Xu Fenglei thoughtfully, and said,

"What is your business?"

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.

"My business is! Don't sweat and be irritable, the big green dragon soup is the main one. ”

He said angrily,

"Why are you going to test me here?"

"This person must have been invaded by the cold of the cold pool, and he can't sweat, so he is naturally troubled and scratches his heart, because the cold evil has invaded the lungs."

"Lao Liu, let me ask you, did he keep scratching his heart and liver before he died, and his chest was about to be scratched?"

When Lao Liu heard this, he nodded again and again in shock!

"That's right! How do you know?! ”

He hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said in admiration,

"You're a god!"

"Lin Zi did scratch his heart before he died, and he scratched the skin in his chest! Flesh and blood turned out! ”

"It is precisely because of this that everyone thinks that he was harmed by the water ghost, otherwise how could there be such a strange disease, and he would have ...... self-harm"

Sun Simiao bowed slightly.

"Your master taught you well." He approving, "It is indeed this disease, Daqinglong soup is the recipe with the strongest sweating effect, and once it is pasted, it will sweat like rain, and the disease will go away." ”

Xu Fenglei snorted lightly and did not respond.

"No wonder this kid wants to study medicine......"

Sun Simiao said with emotion,

"If the old man had come seven days earlier, maybe his father would have been saved."

"Just because there is no good doctor in the village, he can only watch his father die in pain, and he is also accused of being killed by ghosts."

"He saw the old man practicing medicine and saving the sick today, and it is reasonable for him to have such a simple wish and ambition."

Between the words, he was even more merciful.

I already had the idea of accepting disciples in my heart.

"It's really sick......

Lao Liu listened to the conversation between the two, and then suddenly sighed,

"We were ignorant, and we thought that ghosts were harming people, and we did a lot of rituals to exorcise evil spirits......

"Tomorrow I will go and clarify with everyone in the stockade, this is what the two gentlemen said, everyone must believe it!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

It's time to clarify, you can't let your family die, and you still be disgusted and unlucky, right?

"Mr. Sun, Xiao Linzi, this kid is very well-behaved! Take him! ”

Old Liu Hu bowed down and pleaded,

"He'll be able to learn medicine!"

In both public and private, he hoped that Sun Simiao would accept Xiaolinzi as an apprentice.

In this way, they will have a Langzhong in the village who heals the sick and saves people!

“…… The old man will think about it. ”

Sun Simiao thought about it again and again, but still didn't make a rash decision, and waved his hand,

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Xu Feng suddenly added:

"Tomorrow will be buried, and we will go to see it together, I love to watch people be buried."

Lao Liu: "......"

What kind of special fetish is this?

"Okay."

He answered, turned around and closed the door for the two of them, and went back to bed.
