"Mingyue, get two pairs of medicines for the old gentleman. ”

Lao Dao shouted, took a brush in his hand, and quickly wrote the prescription on the paper.

The little Taoist priest hurriedly walked over, took the medicine according to the prescription, crushed it with a medicine mill, and then wrapped it in lotus leaves, and had to deal with other patients in the middle.

The old man stood cramped next to watch the little Taoist priest busy with his work, his hand trembled a little when he took the medicine wrapped in lotus leaves, walked to the Lonely Heart Taoist, wanted to speak and stopped, and waited for the Lonely Heart Taoist to read it to another patient, spread out his palms, and whispered: "Living Immortal, you are merciful, the little old man is from the north, he just found a place to live, the child only found a job at the ferry yesterday, and the salary will not be paid until next month, and there are only a few pennies in his hand......"

The lonely Taoist wrote the other person's prescription, handed it to Mingyue to grab the medicine, looked up at the old man, and sighed lightly, "Old man, these are enough for medicine, don't worry about the consultation money, it's not too late to send it when the family is rich, let's keep the account first." ”

Waiting for the Lonely Heart Taoist to write it down in the thick account book, the old man left with a grateful face.

Qin Sang sat at the end, watching the master and apprentice busy, his mind floating, and before he knew it, the sky had darkened, and there were only two people left in front of him who helped him up the mountain.

I saw more than a dozen patients in a row, but most of them came from the north, most of them were recorded in the consultation fees, and some of them couldn't even pay for the medicine. One afternoon, except for a couple who came to ask for talisman paper to exorcise evil spirits, an old lady asked for a signature, but there was not a single incense, and the old Tao failed to enter the account, but the master and apprentice did not have a trace of impatience on their faces, which made Qin Sang sigh.

The little brother lifted his legs. ”

After the patient in front of him finished reading, Qin Sang walked over with a cane and lifted his injured leg according to Lao Dao's instructions.

Seeing that Lao Dao finished writing the prescription, ordered to grab the medicine, and then kept the accounts, it was difficult to hide the tiredness in his voice, Qin Sang's heart moved slightly, and he said softly: "Dao Chief, I heard that there is a steady stream of people fleeing from the north, and there will definitely be more and more people looking for you to see a doctor in the future, there are only two people in the view, you and Xiao Dao Chang, and you have to go up the mountain to collect medicine, I'm afraid you can't be busy......

Without saying a word, Qin Sang swept the little Taoist's eyes and looked at the master expectantly.

The lonely heart Dao didn't raise his head, interrupting Qin Sang, "The little brother has just seen the situation in the view, the good people who come and go are all poor people, and the poor Dao has a heart and is powerless, and he can't earn a few pennies of incense money a year, he can't afford to support a Taoist priest, and he can't afford to pay the little brother's monthly money." ”

Mingyue's little Taoist priest's eyes darkened, and he pouted.

Qin Sang didn't expect Lao Dao to speak so directly, but he didn't give up so easily, and sneered: "Don't hide it from the Dao Chief, the junior really wants to find a place to stay, but unfortunately he accidentally injured his leg, and it is difficult to find a way to live. The younger generation does not ask for monthly money, but only wants to have a sheltered place to live and beg for food. ”

The Lonely Heart Daoist glanced up at Qin Sang, stroked his long hair and said: "Little brother is in the prime of life, why bother to bend to the mountains and wilderness, go to the ferry to find a regular business, so that he can start a family and start a business, it is the right way." ”

Seeing that the tone of the Silent Heart Daoist was relaxed, Qin Sang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Daoist Mingjian, the junior has studied with the master in the village for a few years, and can write and draw, so he can help the Daoist to transcribe records, grind herbs, and then follow you up the mountain to collect medicine when the injury is healed." If the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, just leave me for a month to try, and if I'm really useless, it's not too late to drive me down the mountain......"

The Silent Heart Daoist really moved, squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Sang for a long time, "That's it, I'm a poor and sour old man, and I'm not afraid of what the little brother wants to be poor." ”

As he spoke, the Shanxin Taoist took the brush and pulled out a piece of yellow paper.

"Write two words and I'll see. ”

Qin Sang took the pen, dictated a few words, and looked at the lonely Taoist with apprehension in his heart.

He didn't know how to use a brush in his previous life, but fortunately, Qin Sanwa learned it, but this word is enough to choke, it can only be said that he didn't fall apart, he can know it, and there are two words that have not been written.

However, Qin Sang also learned that this world is similar to the ancient times in the previous life, and there are very few people who can read and write, and he can be regarded as a high-level talent.

Seeing that the Lonely Heart Daoist was holding the yellow paper and was silent, Qin Sang remedied, "The younger generation has been eager to learn since childhood, but unfortunately there have been changes in the family, and they have only studied for a few years. ”

"Okay. ”

The Lonely Heart Taoist nodded, "The Taoist temple is full of Taoist scriptures and medical scriptures, if the little brother has a heart, he can read the scriptures with Mingyue at night." Also, the conditions in the Taoist temple are poor, and there is not much oil and water to eat, so the little brother may endure it?"

"Daoist, you call me Qin Sang," Qin Sang hurriedly said, "I am also from a poor family, and I can endure hardships." Rest assured, I will abide by the rules and regulations and not cause you trouble. ”

The Silent Heart Taoist shook his head, "You have never been a monk, so you don't have to be too restrained, there is only one thing, you can't bring women in Hutianhudi." Outside of Taoism, the poor way will not bind you, but if you cause trouble by doing mischief, it has nothing to do with the poor way. At this time, there is a word first, and don't blame the poor for not being affectionate in the future. ”

Finally got taken in, Qin Sang didn't refuse, "I will obey the instructions of the Taoist chief." ”

......

"Gongzi Qin, there are no people living in several houses here, you can choose one, I will cook first, and I will bring you the bedding and robes at night. ”

Keeping Qin Sang, the Silent Heart Daoist exempted the consultation fee, and asked Mingyue to take Qin Sang to the back to choose a place to live, and the bedding and Taoist robes were gifted, and the future meals would be with them, and Mingyue would be responsible for doing it.

"Senior Brother Mingyue, we are both working under the Dao Chief, I am a few years older than you, you can call me Senior Brother, call Gongzi too angry. ”

Qin Sang pulled Mingyue to close, "I'll help you light the fire in a while, you introduce me first, where do you live with the Taoist chief?"

Mingyue lives with Lao Dao, and has never had any friends, but suddenly a senior brother came, and he also felt close, pointed to one with a smile, and said crisply: "Senior brother, I live there with Master!"

Qin Sang looked over and saw that Mingyue was referring to the row of houses behind the Qingyang Palace.

There are four entrances in the whole Qingyang Temple, there are three rows of houses behind the Qingyang Palace, one row has six rooms, and a stone step path leads to the end of the Taoist Temple in the middle, and there are three rooms on each side.

The houses are all made of stone and have an intact frame, except for the roof, which is badly damaged.

Lonely Heart Daoist and Mingyue live in the first row of the three rooms on the left.

Mingyue pointed to the other three rooms and said: "These houses have beds made of bamboo, if there are laymen staying overnight, or the patient has no time to go down the mountain, you can live here, the patient sometimes doesn't want money, the layman pays a penny a night, no food." ”

Qin Sang followed behind Mingyue and listened to his introduction.

Came to the last row of houses, Qin Sang suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water, so he walked up, Qingyang Temple originally had no back wall, and finally there was a large bamboo forest, there was a spring water flowing down from the top of the mountain in the depths of the bamboo forest, forming a stream through the forest, the spring water dingdong, birds and insects chirping, the environment was very quiet.

Qin Sang liked it when he saw it.
