After crossing the fork in the street, I came to another street and stopped outside a shop in the depths of the street.

The shop had just opened, and as usual, a middle-aged man who looked a little old was drinking morning tea inside.

"Good morning, sir. ”

Wen Xiu stepped forward to greet him, bowed, and handed out the steamed bun in his hand with both hands.

The middle-aged man snorted, looked sideways at the young man, and paused, but it was different from before, and he did not refuse the young man again.

Reaching out to take the steamed bun, opening the paper bag, a wisp of fragrant heat floated out, and he didn't pick and choose one at random and ate it.

Wen Xiu's face was slightly happy, and he hurriedly picked up the teapot and filled the middle-aged man's cup.

He put down the teapot and didn't stop, picked up the rag and began to clean the table, chair and counter as usual.

"Boy, how long have you been in the store?" the middle-aged man ignored the young man and said casually while eating steamed buns.

He didn't stop, and quickly replied, "It's been more than three months." ”

"Well, it's not too late,"

"How old are you to be literate?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiu hesitated in his heart for a moment, and then said, "Ten years old, know a little." ”

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked around the young man, frowning slightly,

"You don't look like you're ten years old, do you, but I'm dizzy?"

"I'm a holy hand of medicine, can't I even see the bone age of your little!"

couldn't help but pout, "It's true that the body is a little thin, but there is no ambiguity in talking and doing things!"

"The body is not like a ten-year-old, and the heart is not like a ten-year-old!"

The more I watched, the more interesting I felt!

Wen Xiu also had careful thoughts in his heart, "More than seven years old, it is indeed less than ten years old, just be able to do things!"

The middle-aged man didn't open his mouth again, didn't eat the steamed bun in his hand after eating, and didn't return it to him, and walked to the back hall with the bag.

After the middle-aged man left, Wen Xiu looked at the door where the figure disappeared, and his face was bitter: "That's my lunch and dinner, you can't finish it, and you won't leave me some!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he was not disappointed at all, but secretly happy.

In the past, Mr. ignored him, neither drove him away, nor communicated with him much, and let him be busy!

However, this is also an important reason why he has been here for a long time!

There are almost no people in the shop who come to take medicine and see a doctor, not because Mr. is not good at medicine, but because he is so disgusted with trouble that he doesn't even bother to recruit an apprentice servant!

When a minor illness came, he was directly pushed to another medical hall and pharmacy, and if he encountered some incurable diseases, he would take a few more looks!

But it's just a matter of taking a few more glances and mentioning a few words!

Although it is only a few words, it is amazing to find the crux of the problem, and it also makes those who benefit from it grateful to Dade!

And he didn't care!

Therefore, it has attracted many people to come to learn from the teacher, and even some famous doctors who are not too young, but they are all ignored, just like he was before!

It's okay for three or five days, but after a long period of ignorance, everyone has extinguished their minds!

The people in the neighborhood gradually knew his temperament, and he was a little eccentric, but no one thought it was inappropriate!

Although he is a seemingly incompetent, or rather lazy doctor!

But Wen Xiu found that from time to time, he would tinker with some medicinal materials by himself, and he didn't know what medicine to dispense, and he didn't know who to dispense, anyway, the medicinal materials in the medicine shelf were getting fewer and fewer day by day!

Although he was curious, he didn't ask too much! Anyway, he just knew that Mr. was not an ordinary person!

And today's situation is a little different, Mr. seems to accept him a little, how can he not secretly rejoice!

While he was thinking nonsense, the middle-aged gentleman quietly came behind him, and a book fell on the table.

Wen Xiu suddenly showed surprise on his face, but he didn't pick up the book impatiently!

"I'll go out and see for yourself. Before the words fell, the person had already gone out.

He is not surprised by this, it was like this before, he didn't say a word, he went out directly when he had something, and he was not afraid of him stealing something or something!

hurriedly turned around and saluted, and after seeing the middle-aged man's back disappear, he turned his head and glanced at the "Hundred Herbs".

When I saw the title of the book and knew that it belonged to the category of medical books, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but I didn't read it much and continued to clean the room, but the cleaning speed was much faster, but I still cleaned it very carefully!

After everything was taken care of, he picked up the "Hundred Herbs" and carefully held it in his hand.

Looking at the book in his hand, a special feeling suddenly rose.

The pages of ordinary books are a little old, and he has touched no less than a hundred and thousands of such books, but he has never had that special, complicated feeling!

Even when his father taught him to babble and read the first book, he had the joy of sound and gaze, the desire for knowledge and skills, and the yearning for the mystery in the book!

And the feeling at this moment, there is some satisfaction, the satisfaction of hard work, some novelty, the curiosity of medicine!

Although his father was a teacher, and even his grandfather was a man of culture, he did not seem to have dabbled in medicine.

For him at this moment, medical skills are learning, a skill, and it may also be the foundation of his future life and the ladder of advancement!

And at this time, these feelings are only part of his heart, and the yellowed pages in his hands are more of nostalgia and pain...

I couldn't help but close my eyes, afraid that the next moment I would cry weakly!

In the chaotic mind, a face suddenly flashed, a mutilated smiling face...... The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he turned the first page.

"Life", blinked his hazy eyes, and looked at it again, but it was the word "ginseng"!

Some smiled miserably, "Big boy, you know what life is!"

"Perhaps, I only know what bitterness is, I, Grandpa Li!"

He shook his head, put aside all his distractions, and looked at the contents of the book.

'Ginseng', also known as mountain ginseng, garden ginseng, human title, soil essence, yellow ginseng, blood ginseng, goblin, hundred-foot pestle, child ginseng, etc., some don't understand why there are so many names, but he doesn't care!

Ginseng, the taproot is fleshy, cylindrical or spindle-shaped, fibrous roots are elongated, rhizomes are short, there are stem marks and bud buds......

Its appearance is very detailed, easy to identify, and not easy to identify!

It says that these are the shapes of ordinary ginseng in ten years and a hundred years, and then there are supplements,

"Different regional environments may cause variations, or ginseng that is too old may have some differences in its morphology, but it will not change much!"

This is followed by an introduction to some of the benefits of ginseng... It's magical, it's amazing!

Some ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years and thousands of years can actually continue to live, and even come back to life!

Especially when you are injured in an accident, if you don't have the conditions to treat it in time, it's a life-saving thing!

A small ginseng, although it is not common, I have heard of it, and I once wanted to have such an effect!

At this moment, seeing that the young man is novel, he is amazed at the same time, and he has to sigh at the magic of nature!

After reading the introduction of the first taste of ginseng, the words are not difficult, I know them all, I read them carefully again, and I remember them one by one.

The second flavor of the herb Rehmannia ...... I still read it once first, and there were no words I didn't know, and then I carefully deepened my memory the second time.

The third flavor of gastrodia......

Fourth Taste ......

Fifth Flavor ......

......

The twentieth flavor of deer antler velvet refers to the young horns of sika deer or red deer that are not ossified and hairy......

Seeing this, he frowned, the medicinal materials are not only plants, but also animals, which can also produce medicinal materials, but it feels more cruel!

"I don't know if there is a part of the human body that can also be used as medicinal herbs!"

I shook my head and didn't dare to think about it, if the human body also produces extremely high medicinal value like that, it may be as unfortunate as 'deer antler'!

Continue to read the introduction of medicinal materials later, memorizing their names, shapes, and simple effects, etc.

Before I knew it, I was lost in the ocean of knowledge, forgetting the time, and forgetting the stomach that had been 'gurgling' for a long time!

"Ahem..."

A light cough sounded, waking up the boy in the book.

His face was slightly red, and he hurriedly bowed and apologized, only to see that the gentleman who came back at an unknown time had already tasted tea at the table!

Looking at the wisps of green smoke, I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry, or if today's tea is very different, it smells very fragrant!

Subconsciously sniffled.

The gentleman did not speak, nor did he ask him what he read, but looked at his white and red face with interest.

There was a faint hint of a smile, and I didn't know what I was thinking!

At the right time, the uncompetitive stomach 'gurgling' again, and the young man, who was originally quite calm, finally couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment!

Then he bowed and said, "Thank you for the book, the kid has ......told me in advance."

Before the word "word" could be spoken, it was interrupted.

"Go straight into the backyard and turn left at the end of the room, there is food on the table......"

The words were concise and neat, and he didn't look at him after speaking, but picked up a book by the teacup and read it.

Wen Xiuleng for a moment, his bowed body stood upright, glanced at Mr., slightly happy, paused, didn't say anything, and walked straight to the backyard.

After the young man left, the middle-aged man glanced at the book on the table, then looked at the young man who disappeared from the back door, and muttered in a low voice: "Clever little guy, what ......have you been through?"

After eating a meal with satisfaction, I didn't feel too much emotion, quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and returned to the store without bothering Mr.

Seeing that there was no business and nothing to do, he picked up the book again.

One big and one small, very harmonious!

Time passed, the sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled little by little, gradually crawling from the door to the feet of the two.

The two of them raised their heads in unison, looking at the sunning sun, their eyes were a little distant, but they didn't know what they were missing!

Wen Xiu was a little reluctant to put down the "Hundred Herbs", got up to salute, and was about to leave......

"Take the book with you, I don't know how many sunsets there are in this life..."The middle-aged man said with a little emotion.

Wen Xiu's face changed slightly, and he bowed solemnly: "Ji Wenxiu thanked Mr. Ji." The voice was firm and powerful.

This is also the first time that he has so solemnly reported his name, for some reason, it is gratitude, or an inexplicable respect that prompts him!

didn't stop for long, just turned around and left softly.

The middle-aged man pale, nodded but didn't say a word,

Turning his head to look at the book in his hand, he unconsciously reached the last sentence, and involuntarily read it softly,

"Don't ask about the original intention, don't ask about the way forward, where the fate is, where the road is... Immortals, no different... If you don't know fate, you know etiquette, that is, you know reason, it's enough!"

The middle-aged man whispered twice in succession, frowned, shook his head again, and looked up again at the back of the person who was about to step out of the door.

Wen Xiu didn't understand a little, I don't know if Mr. was happy to see it, or if he wanted to say something, but he still stopped.

"Call me Mr. Sun in the future. The middle-aged man said lightly, and he didn't care if the young man was listening.

Wen Xiu's face was overjoyed, and he bowed again, "Yes, Mr. Sun." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, "I used to be unrestrained by etiquette, I always felt that people were in the heart, why should I be constrained by etiquette, but today I have realized because of your behavior and etiquette!"

"Etiquette may not be judgmental, but it is not undesirable!"

After a pause, he said: "The courtesy of the people, no formality!"

"You and I have a fate, in the line, in the courtesy, but not limited to the courtesy, less trouble!"

Wen Xiu bowed down again and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. for your teaching." ”

"Go ahead. ”

After speaking, he ignored the boy and continued to look at the book in his hand.

I returned to the broken temple and shook the book in my hand, although it was early winter, it was not as cold as I imagined!

Quietly looking at the broken 'stone statue', with a heartfelt smile, "Thank you, thank you for letting me persevere, insist on seeing hope again and again!"
