Axi tasted a pear.

Sure enough, as the predecessors said, the flesh has a bitter sourness.

Even when I swallowed the flesh, the tip of my tongue was still bitter.

Ah Xi hurriedly put down the pear and ate a few red dates sweetly.

Yao Rong said: "There is a mountain stream not far ahead, and the fish in the stream are very fat. It's a pity I didn't have any condiments on me, and I didn't find too many dried branches and leaves to ignite, otherwise I would have treated you to grilled fish this morning. ”

Ah Xi knew the mountain stream: "If my predecessors don't dislike it, when my foot injury is healed, my seniors and I will come here again, and I will invite my seniors to eat grilled fish." ”

"Then we'll make an appointment."

After a simple meal, the two of them were ready to go down the mountain.

Yao Rong helped Ah Xi carry the bamboo basket on his back, reached out to hold Ah Xi's arm, and asked Ah Xi to put all the weight on her and slowly walked out of the cave.

In the early morning after the rain, the forest is quiet, the air is fresh and comfortable, and many small animals are scurrying between the branches and leaves, which is full of vitality.

When passing by the red-haired meadow, Yao Rong asked Ah Xi what he usually did in the sect.

"I can do a little bit of basically everything." Axi told her all about what she had to do every day.

"This kind of thing can be done by any person."

"These are the basic skills that a doctor has to do."

Yao Rong shook his head and disagreed: "Letting you keep doing this repeatedly, it's like asking Mu Wenxuan to chop wood every day, and you have to tell Mu Wenxuan that cutting wood every day helps to practice swords." ”

Ah Xi couldn't cry or laugh, but she also knew that her predecessors were fighting for her.

She repeated what she had said to Senior Brother Fu before: "I heard Senior Sister say that if people under the mountain want to go to the medical hall to learn art, they must start as an apprentice and work errands in the medical hall for several years before they can learn a fur or two. I think when the time comes, Master will teach me more. ”

Yao Rong still maintains his upright personality: "Your senior sister, isn't it good for you?" ”

"Why did the seniors say this?"

"An apprentice is not the same as a sect disciple."

Yao Rong could see that Ah Xi really didn't understand the difference between the two.

After Ah Xi lost his memory, he completely became a blank piece of paper, and now all the colors on the white paper are smeared by the people of the Rising Sun Sect.

If Yao Rong wants to save Ah Xi, he needs to cover the colors of the Rising Sun Sect first, so that Ah Xi can jump out of the original narrow world and see a broader and more comprehensive world.

So Yao Rong continued: "The apprentice helps the master with chores in the medical hall, and after completing his studies in the future, he can set up his own door outside at any time. But after the disciples of the sect worship the master, as long as there is no major change, they will be members of the sect for the rest of their lives. They are the future of the sect, and the better they learn, the more the sect will benefit. ”

In order to make it easier for Ah Xi to understand, Yao Rong also gave an example: "Think about it, after the Xuyang Sect recruits new disciples, will it hide these new disciples and prevent them from learning the sect's martial arts and mental methods?" ”

“…… No. ”

Yao Rong sighed lightly in his heart, his voice became more and more gentle, with a refreshing sense of comfort: "The senior sister in your mouth, is she also studying medicine?" ”

Ash nodded.

Yao Rong said: "She deliberately misled you, and she must have a lot of selfish intentions. ”

"Why did the seniors say this?"

"The Xuyang Pai Medical Center only needs one doctor to sit for consultation. Right now, the position of the owner of the medical hall belongs to your master, but in the future, what if your master retires? ”

Ah Xi finally understood what Yao Rong wanted to express: "I didn't expect it to be so far, and I didn't want to fight with Senior Sister Xie. ”

Yao Rong said: "It doesn't matter what you think, what matters is what the other party thinks." The other party feels that your existence threatens her position. ”

Of course, Ah Xi is her daughter, and unless the head of the Rising Sun Sect loses his mind, Ah Xi will become the owner of the medical hall.

But Senior Sister Xie, they don't know about it.

Senior Sister Xie only saw the result that Axi was stronger than her.

Yao Rong wet the handkerchief with mountain spring water, wrung it out, and handed it to Ah Xi, asking Ah Xi to wipe the dust on his face: "It's not a smart way to suppress you on the surface, the really clever way is to use all kinds of miscellaneous things to occupy your time like now, and not teach you to learn advanced medical skills, only let you understand the surface." ”

Ah Xi lowered his head, wiped his cheeks with a handkerchief sullenly, and listened to Yao Rong continue: "But your senior sister can't do this alone. She can influence your master's decisions and influence your master's practices, what is the relationship between her and your master? ”

Axi was a little frustrated.

Because thinking about it according to the words of her predecessors, she found that what her predecessors said was true.

Senior Sister Xie is the daughter of the master, and she must have regarded the position of the owner of the medical hall as something in her pocket for a long time.

And what about Master?

Is it better for one's own daughter to be the owner of the museum, or is it better for the apprentice to be the owner of the museum?

There's no need to choose at all.

No wonder Master would teach her well before, but he hadn't explained medical skills to her much in the past two years. I'm afraid that at that time, the master and sister were already guarding against her.

Yao Rong could feel Ah Xi's sadness.

It is actually a very cruel thing for a person to completely recognize the indifference, calculation and vigilance of the people around him.

But what is false is false, and there will always be a day when lies will be exposed.

Instead of letting the hypocrites of the Rising Sun Sect use Ah Xi and hurt Ah Xi at that time, it would be better for her to strike first, analyze the true faces of these people clearly, and completely shatter Ah Xi's hopes and illusions about these people.

Soon, the two walked down the mountain.

Standing in the wide valley, Yao Rong suddenly stopped and looked up at the front: "Someone is coming." ”

Ah Xi followed Yao Rong's line of sight and saw nothing.

"This group of six people should be going to the Rising Sun Sect to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference, you can stop them and ask them to give you a ride."

"Aren't you going back?"

"I still have something to do, and I can't send you back in person." Yao Rong let go of Ah Xi's arm and untied the bamboo basket again.

Ah Xi hurriedly took the bamboo basket: "Seniors are going to be busy for a long time, I can wait for seniors here." ”

"No, you don't." Yao Rong stared into Ah Xi's eyes and said seriously, "If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, don't tell anyone that you once saw me on the mountain." ”

Ah Xi was uneasy in his heart, and subconsciously said: "Senior......"

Yao Rong raised his hand to help Ah Xi wipe off the yellow mud that had not been wiped clean from his ears, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, you still owe me a meal of grilled fish." If you want to come and see me at any time, go to the cave and find me. ”

The next moment, Ah Xi only felt a flower in front of him, and there was no familiar figure around.

Then, the clear sound of horses echoing through the mountain paths.

A group of six people appeared in Ashie's sight on horseback.

When she saw the embarrassed Ah Xi, one of the women in red grabbed the reins, stopped her horse and asked with a smile: "Girl, is there anything you need our help with?" ”

Ah Xi came back to his senses, omitted Yao Rong's existence, and told him about his situation.

The woman in red leaned over and stretched out her right hand towards Ah Xi: "I am a disciple of Zhaotianmen Man Banxue, and I came with the sect to participate in the sword conference, if the girl doesn't mind, I will give the girl a ride." ”

Zhaotianmen disciples?

Ah Xi held Man Banxue's hand, turned over on his horse with the strength of Man Banxue, and asked casually, "Has Zhaotianmen only arrived now?" ”

"Zhaotianmen is far away from the Rising Sun Sect, and my master was sick before going out, so it was delayed for a few days, and we didn't hurry over until the master was ready."

With the enthusiastic help of Man Banxue, Axi successfully returned to his residence.

As soon as the wooden door was closed, Ah Xi's face instantly became solemn.

Ah Xi put the bamboo basket in the corner of the wall, didn't bother to boil hot water, hastily washed it with cold water, changed into clean clothes, and lay on the bed, constantly recalling every word that the senior had said and everything he had done.

That senior claimed to be "Elder Zhaotianmen, Jia Yan", could it be......

Hypothetical?

If that senior was a person from the rivers and lakes who was invited to participate in the Sword Debate Conference, there was no need to deliberately make up a fake identity and a fake name.

She did it because of something wrong with her identity and name.

Who was she, and why did she suddenly appear on that mountain?

What is the purpose, is it intended to be unfavorable to the Sunrise faction?

Just when Ah Xi's heart was in turmoil, someone outside the door banged heavily on her door.

Axi picked up a coat and draped it over his shoulders and walked to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ah Xi didn't see the people standing outside the door clearly, but he first heard Senior Sister Xie's brutal and sharp accusation: "Okay, Ah Xi, you really slept in the house." Do you know how busy the clinic is today? ”

"Senior Brother Fu, I'll just say it, she didn't have anything to do last night. I see, her temper is getting bigger and bigger, just because my father asked her to pick red hair grass yesterday, she dares not to go to the hospital today. ”

Ah Xi was angry: "Senior sister, how can you accuse me indiscriminately!" ”

"Am I wrong?" Senior Sister Xie clasped her arms with both hands, "What about the red grass that my father asked you to pick?" ”

"I have a small half basket of red grass in my house, you can take it to the emergency first."

Senior Sister Xie complained: "You picked up a small half basket? Then why don't you send it to the hospital in person, and you have to trouble the two of us to make an extra trip. ”

Ah Xi didn't want to say anything more to Senior Sister Xie, turned around, held on to the wall and slowly walked to the corner, picked up the bamboo basket, and handed it to Senior Brother Fu.

As long as you pay a little attention, you can see that her legs and feet are not very convenient.

But Senior Sister Xie didn't notice it at all, she never had to look at Ah Xi squarely: "What can this small half basket be used for, I'm too lazy to care about your laziness, you hurry into the house to change your clothes, and then take us up the mountain to pick red hairy grass." ”

No matter how good Ah Xi's temper is, he can't stand it anymore: "I can't go up the mountain now, I ...... last night"

Senior Sister Xie's eyes widened, and she interrupted Ah Xi's words with a sharp roar: "What are you talking about!" If you don't take us up the mountain, where are we going to find the red haired grass temporarily? Do you know what will happen if you delay my father's business? Don't think that with Senior Brother Mu protecting you, you will be lawless. ”

"What's the matter with you, Miss Axi was trapped on the mountain last night and frightened all night, and her legs and feet were injured. That's it, she didn't forget to carry this half basket of red grass down the mountain when she went down the mountain. You as a senior sister don't care about her injury, why do you force her to take you up the mountain, do you have a conscience? Man Banxue stood not far away, angry and angry.

Senior Sister Xie is rarely accused like this, and she is also angry at the moment: "Who are you?" ”

Hearing Man Banxue's self-introduction, Senior Sister Xie pouted.

The disciples of a small sect also dared to shout on the territory of their Rising Sun Sect.

"This is my matter with my junior sister, it has nothing to do with you, don't be nosy."

Man Banxue couldn't see Senior Sister Xie's disdain, and gritted his teeth angrily: "I sent Miss Axi back this morning, and my master and I can both testify for Miss Axi." I originally thought that the disciples of the Rising Sun Sect were very united, but I didn't expect that today I would witness a good show of squeezing the injured junior sister. If you continue to make trouble, I'm going to call Xuyang to send someone else to judge the theory. ”

Phew, Senior Sister Xie doesn't look down on Zhaotianmen, and she doesn't look down on Senior Sister Xie's style.

If things get big then, it won't be her guest anyway.

Senior Brother Fu hurriedly tugged at Senior Sister Xie's sleeve and reminded her to be more restrained.

Senior Sister Xie also got up a little bit: "I'm ...... I didn't know she was hurt. He also put the blame on Ah Xi, "Ah Xi, you too, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

Man Banxue is seeking justice for herself, Ah Xi is not the kind of person who doesn't know gratitude, and she rarely toughens herself in front of Senior Sister Xie once: "I was about to say it just now, but Senior Sister, you interrupted me." And when I first went to get the bamboo basket, I was limping when I walked. ”

Man Banxue laughed beside him: "That's it, you're a doctor, haven't you learned to look and hear?" Oh, I was wrong, even ordinary people who have not learned to look and hear can see that Miss Axi's legs and feet are not very convenient. ”

Senior Sister Xie was so sarcastic that her face turned red, she stomped her feet on the spot, turned around and ran away.

Senior Brother Fu looked at Senior Sister Xie, and then at Ah Xi: "Senior Sister Ah Xi, you have a good rest." Chased Senior Sister Xie and left.

Ah Xi ignored them and said to Man Banxue: "Miss Man, thanks to you." ”

Man Banxue waved his hand: "With a lot of effort, I can't get used to seeing her like that." ”

Ah Xi asked her why she came, and said in the middle of the snow: "The place where our sect is staying is not far from here, and when I heard the noise here, I came over to take a look." Okay, the matter is settled, you can go back to the house to catch up on sleep. ”

Ah Xi smiled bitterly and closed the door, but knew that he would not be able to catch up on his sleep next.

Senior Sister Xie ran back to the hospital in such a rage, as long as she added a little oil and vinegar, the master would definitely blame her.

But even if she hurried over to explain, it was useless.

If you don't get close to each other, Master will definitely stand on Senior Sister Xie's side.

Although Ah Xi can understand what the master is doing, as the one who is being criticized, Ah Xi is really a little tired.

Why did Man Banxue, who had only seen her once, speak up for her, and the mysterious seniors who suddenly appeared in the cave could take care of her everywhere, but the master, sister and brother who got along with her every day treated her like this?

Axi sat quietly at the door and waited.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Dr. Xie came.

"Master." Axi shouted calmly.

Doctor Xie's city government is not as shallow as Senior Sister Xie, he first asked about Ah Xi's situation, and then said lightly: "Ah Xi, you have a good rest in the house for the past two days, and you don't need to go to the hospital to help for the time being." Your senior sister's temper has always been very impatient, so don't take it to heart. ”

Ah Xi nodded, and didn't follow Dr. Xie's words and didn't take it to heart, but said, "Master, I can't go up the mountain these days, do you need me to draw the location of the wild red hairy grass?" ”

Dr. Xie knows his daughter too well.

After the previous experience, even if Ah Xi drew the location of the red haired grass, his daughter would definitely not be happy to go to the mountains to pick it.

Relying on the three disciples to pick alone, it is estimated that they can't pick too much.

Dr. Xie said, "No need. Recently, I have used too many hemostatic drugs, so I will apply for more silver taels with the boss and go to the pharmacy in a nearby town to purchase a batch of herbs. ”

Ah Xi said: "That's fine, I would have gone to the pharmacy to buy it earlier." ”

Doctor Xie was choked for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Ah Xi.

In fact, the Xuyang faction would allocate a large amount of money to the medical hall every month, asking Dr. Xie to buy medicinal materials or something.

But when the money came to Dr. Xie, it was basically swallowed by Dr. Xie.

Not enough herbs in the medical hall?

It doesn't matter, just let the disciples pick it.

Anyway, the Sunrise Sect is in the mountains, as long as you are willing to go over the mountains and look patiently, you can always find all kinds of herbs.

In the past, this second disciple was honest and would never disobey his orders, so Dr. Xie didn't know if Ah Xi's words were unintentional or intentional.

"The disciple didn't have much rest in the mountains last night, if the master is fine, the disciple will go back to the house to catch up on sleep."

was ordered to be evicted by his disciples, Dr. Xie's face was a little unsightly, and he didn't think about helping Axi back to bed, leaving a sentence of "have a good rest" and left.

Ah Xi leaned against the wall and walked back to the bed, sitting on the bed in a daze.

She sat and slept last night, and now her body is not sleepy, but her heart is extremely tired.

At this moment, Ah Xi caught a glimpse of her purse at the head of the bed, which was very bulging.

The purse was full of red dates.

When she wasn't paying attention, the senior actually stuffed so many dates into her purse.

Ah Xi picked up a jujube and put it in his mouth, and his eyes were red with sweetness.

No matter who that senior is, no matter what the purpose of that senior is on the mountain, but one thing is certain.

That senior treated her really well.

She was still struggling with whether to tell the teacher about the existence of that senior, but now Ah Xi felt that she didn't have to worry about it.

Just like the senior said, if she revealed what happened last night to the teacher, she would cause herself a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Let's just think she's a little selfish.

For myself, but also for that senior.

The head of Zhaotianmen was sitting in the courtyard drinking, and the full snow suddenly rushed in from outside.

"What's going on?" The head of Zhaotianmen asked.

Man Banxue told the head of Zhaotianmen what had just happened.

The head of Zhaotianmen said helplessly: "On other people's territory, you don't know how to be more restrained in your temperament." ”

Man Banxue snorted, and hugged the arm of the head of Zhaotianmen and coquettishly said: "Master, as a disciple of a famous and decent family, if you can't fight grievances, but bully others, then what is the difference between the righteous path and the Demon Sect?" ”

The head of Zhaotianmen touched Banxue's head, with a hint of amazement in his eyes: "In this case, don't say it casually outside in the future." ”

"I know, I'm not lacking in heart."

After half a snow was gone, the head of Zhaotianmen sighed, she no longer had a good mood to taste wine, she slowly got up, walked to the house, and stretched out her hand to push open the door of her room.

The next moment, the face of the head of Zhaotianmen changed, and he held the hidden weapon in his sleeve-

"It's me."

Yao Rong, who was standing in the corner of the room, slowly turned around.

The head of Zhaotianmen let go of the hidden weapon, quickly jumped into the room, and closed the door: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"You say."

After listening to Yao Rong's request, the head of Zhaotianmen didn't even ask a reason, and nodded briskly: "Okay." ”

"Thank you."

"If you really want to thank me, leave quickly, if someone sees you with me, I can't tell ten mouths."

The head of Zhaotianmen turned around.

When she turned around, Yao Rong was no longer in the house. ：，，
