The master and apprentice have traveled thousands of miles to the world, and the scholars of Suping City kneel down (3)

The head of the soldiers at the gate of Suping City was still wondering if his voice was appropriate just now, not only worried that the voice was too small, but also afraid that the voice would be too loud and offended the eldest prince.

For this reason, I still made a difficulty, and I wanted to go back today, and I had to practice this way in my room by myself, so that my voice should be moderate, and I turned a blind eye to the disheveled master and apprentice who came to my eyes.

Until the stupid sturdy soldier whispered in the ear of the head of the soldier: "Just now I saw the eldest prince kneeling for the old gentleman, I'm afraid that it wasn't the divine doctor invited by the eldest prince to arrive." ”

The leader of the soldiers was painstakingly thinking about whether he had done everything perfectly today, and unconsciously bent his mouth downward, just like the big male baby of the Oiran in the Qinglou, and then it turned up again.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Old gentleman, forgive your sins, the old gentleman can enter the city calmly with a heart of benevolence and righteousness." ”

The master took the silver that could have eaten half a month in the restaurant with the highest price in Suping City, but he only entered a small shop with a simple faΓ§ade that could not be called magnificent at all.

The people inside seemed to hear the movement, and a delicate middle-aged woman came out, although she was wearing a coarse brown dress full of fireworks, but she couldn't cover her intoxicating eyes, especially the waist, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a hand.

The woman, who has always been gentle and wealthy in dealing with people, didn't care how miserable and depressed people were, hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped the spotless table, and said with a smile on her face: "Guest officer, please take a seat." ”

The master responded with a kind face: "There is Miss Lao, just serve a few home-cooked dishes, and then arrange the guest room, and we will stay in the hotel." ”

When the woman heard the old man call out to the girl, her smile was like a flower.

Suping City, which was originally developed in commerce and trade, was full of people. This small shop can also get a little light from the location, but it can also be food and clothing. But since the outbreak of the epidemic, business has become increasingly cold, and now business has been bleak. Yesterday, Taishou issued another order in the city to "go out of the city to seek medical treatment, and the whole city will be taxed". Now that no one lives in a restaurant to eat, I am afraid that this day will be unsustainable.

The middle-aged but still charming woman didn't care about running thousands of miles, and looked at whether the disheveled and unkempt master and apprentice could afford to pay for food, but secretly clenched her handkerchief and turned around and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

I thought in my heart that today, I had to ask the men in the family to serve a few good dishes so that the guests could stay.

The woman greeted the guest upstairs, and a middle-aged man who was in charge of the cook hurriedly came downstairs and said, "Come! ”

The woman was just about to go to the back kitchen to get some vegetables and meat so that her man could cook, when she was about to lift the curtain, when a young man in his early twenties with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes snatched the curtain out, with half a cucumber in his mouth, and his hand was empty, and he took a chicken leg in his right hand, and held a handful of peanuts in his left hand, and the peanuts in his left hand were still too much, and he scattered them as he ran. slurred: "Boss, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, and they are all on the books." ”

When the woman who has always been diligent and thrifty saw this situation, the woman who was originally experienced in treating people and things should even scold.

"Lu Wenping, how many accounts have you recorded in my store, it's not enough to unload your legs. Why don't you go to the bigger hotel on East Street to do this kind of stealing chickens and dogs? Did you get caught last time, and they beat you to the ground for half a month, and now they are bullying us small households?" The woman who tried her best to calm down looked at the stunned appearance of the master and apprentice, and smiled. The two guests smiled, and after a while, the meal arrived. ”

The middle-aged man had no choice but to smile helplessly, and went into the back kitchen to show his cooking skills. The woman picked up the peanuts scattered on the ground one by one, and when she sorted out the scattered peanuts and entered the back kitchen, she found that a pot of rice wine stored on the cabinet for many days was missing.

Although it was the cheapest rice wine in the wine cabinet, it also made the woman who had always been a thrifty housekeeper want to cry without tears.

The man looked at his wife with a look of seeking death, and just pretended to say that next time, if he met that scoundrel child who stole chickens and dogs all day long, did not learn and could only read a few broken words, he would definitely be sent to the government for a few days in prison to comfort his wife.

The master and apprentice, who were originally silent and speechless, saw this funny scene, especially the proud look of the young man who was called Lu Wenping by the woman, but it was indeed when they crawled away with a roll and a long way off, and the dull atmosphere eased up slightly.

But the young man was still depressed because the master accepted the reward money from the gentlemen, and he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart. Let's practice medicine to help the world, don't kneel to earn that little reward, that kind of money, no matter how much we give, we are not rare, we go out, hang the pot to help the world, we want only two words.

"Dignity!"

But when Jiang Chengzi was hungry, he smelled the fragrant food on the table. When the shameless Jiang Chengzi gobbled up the food on the table, he suddenly felt that it was a matter of course for the master to accept the money!

"Stingy!"

During the day, the young man who watched his master being robbed of money by his neck, and then being given money by his neck, fell asleep on the table.

As for the murder of soldiers, Jiang Chengzi didn't dare to think about it, and he hoped that there was no one in his dreams.

Suping City, which is known as the fierce folk customs, if you dare to say a word to any of the people in the city who have simple folk customs, the common people will feel that this is a great shame.

Bandits are rampant, the government is accumulating wealth, profiteers are in charge, and the fish and dragons are mixed, and if they have to say to people with a smile on their faces, the people in the market will feel that they are tantamount to saying that they are so deceitful, exploitative, and stupid! To say to the high-ranking officials of the merchants, it is tantamount to naked sarcasm in front of them!

A full moon rose, and the sky seemed to have immortals scattering ink, and a torrential rain rushed into Suping City.

In a remote place in the north of the city, an old man with white hair and over seventy years old had just finished burying the body of his old friend's son, when the sky began to drizzle, and soon it was pouring rain.

As we all know, the north city of Suping City is a gathering place for refugees, and the flowers are not close to this boundary, although it is close to the east city, but the people in the city have a tacit secret.

The people of Beicheng are not people. And this distance has become the end of the world.

Outside a dilapidated thatched hut at the edge of the refugee site, he was trying to finish reading a sage book by the moonlight, and when he couldn't extricate himself from it, he was kicked and kicked into the dilapidated house by the unbeautiful Tiangong.

The young man hurried into the room with the book he regarded as a treasure, took out a half-tattered candle at the bedside, carefully placed it on a wooden board and lit it, and continued to read it with relish.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door outside the broken house, and the young man who suddenly frowned and suddenly relieved his brows put down his book after hearing the sound, and his brows were completely relaxed.

In the past few years, various dart bureaus have risen from the ground, making the people in the market who are not literate even more illiterate, especially in this refugee land, which is difficult to return, and has long lost the ability to read and write, and even the whole city is less bookish.

Although I later heard that there was a mountain king on the three roads, and the master invited by the group of fallen grass bandits who endangered the Quartet beat the masters of the rivers and lakes in the city to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, but they also failed to change the situation of Suping City's emphasis on martial arts and light literature, and even intensified.

People who can read and are willing to read in the city, Old Man Lu has been in the city all his life, and he really hasn't seen much of it.

Our old Lu family can have a grandson who can read and write, and that is the yin virtue accumulated from generation to generation. Even if this grandson was picked up? It's not that the old man Li, who has not been able to see the old man for most of his life, is envious, every time he nagged in the old man's ear about his unproductive son, the old man was so proud in his heart.

Own grandchildren, out of interest!

It's still good to take the name back then, and the fortune teller really didn't say it in vain, Lu Wenping, Lu Wenping. There is a word "Wen", and the road to walk in this life will be smoother.

No, a few months ago, he was favored by a wealthy gentleman in Dongcheng and asked him to be a teacher for the pearl of the family. Although the reward money is not much, it is enough to live, and I can save some money for my grandson to marry my daughter-in-law.

When he got angry with the official, he took his grandson out of the city after carrying enough corpses, settled out of a household, and lay on the rocking chair to tease his grandson.

When he entered the broken grass house and saw a chicken leg on the table, a pinch of peanuts and a pot of wine, the old man was overjoyed, and the old man Lu, who was exhausted after a day of hard work, tightened his nose and sniffed the wine.

In my heart, I feel that no matter how hard and tiring these days are, it is worth it.

But thinking that the last time his grandson was hit by a beam in disrepair of the master's house, he didn't get down for half a month, the old man's heart hurt so much, this teaching is really not easy.

"Next time, you have to be careful, the master is a big family, and it is normal to have a few beams in disrepair in the yard. It doesn't matter how much money you have, but don't get tired, I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson. ”

"I promise to give you a big fat great-grandson, last time the steward who was responsible for repairing the beams of the house, the master almost didn't beat him to death to make amends to me, if I hadn't stopped him, I would have told the master that the housekeeper was unintentional, no need to be aggressive, so I spared him once, otherwise it would be shoddy and deduct the oil and water of the housekeeper to roll up and cover the bed. ”

"It's good to persuade down, it's good to persuade down, we are afraid of doing things badly, everyone is just eating together, there is no need to smash other people's jobs. ”

"Don't do the work at the city gate, and carry the corpses of the plague all day long, and you are not afraid of causing fire? ”

"What should come will come, the faint will reap it, and the bold will live by themselves. Is there still a small number of people in this refugee camp who are infected with the plague? It's also fate, and it's best to look at the opening point by yourself. And this work comes quickly, and I'm not tired, so it's a pity not to do it!"

On the second day, the rain passed and the sky was clear, and the morning was faint.

The Laifu Inn, which was originally dismal because of the epidemic, is now full of people, and the crowds outside the house surround the inn. I don't know who released the news that a miracle doctor had entered the city, and the news spread far and wide.

When these people who were deeply involved in the plague heard this, it was tantamount to a long drought and a rainy day, and they all said that the gentlemen who had taken the city by force and bullied men and women did not deceive people, and the eldest son of the family went out of the city in a hurry yesterday to ask for a miracle doctor.

As long as there is a slight symptom of fever and cough, people will come non-stop, and there are not a few people who drag their families with their mouths, and even worse, dig up the dead children and daughters whose bodies have been buried for a few days and their bodies are stinking, hoping that the divine doctor can bring the dead back to life.

All of a sudden, so many people infected with the plague appeared at the door of the inn like a carp crossing the river, and the woman's face was pale, until she heard that the old man and the young man were the miracle doctors invited by the eldest prince, and they suddenly realized. The woman scolded herself for having no eyes, it was dusk when she came yesterday, and she didn't pay much attention to it, hoping that the old doctor would not blame her. But he was still terrified in his heart, and secretly prayed that the master and apprentice would not harm their little couple for the sake of healing.

The old man didn't have the energy to say anything humble like "it's too famous" or "it's okay", so he just nodded his head and began to take the pulse. The young man slandered in his heart, which goddamn shameless person said that my master was a miracle doctor invited by that gentleman, and he should really slap him a few times. My master, I came by myself, and no one has ever invited me.

"Master has so many people, can we save them?" Jiang Chengzi looked at the crowd of people rubbing shoulders outside the Laifu Inn, and said worriedly.

"Words and deeds are diligent, and it is one person who can save one person. Take a pen and grind. Seeing this, the master, who had always looked like a peaceful lake, began to become serious.

When the young man was concentrating on picking up prescriptions and medicines for his master, he was too busy to make deals, when suddenly, the daring thief from yesterday squeezed out of the crowd and entered the store without fear with a private engraved book in his arms, obviously coming prepared.

I thought that the woman would be furious when she saw this scoundrel boy, but she didn't expect to pull the boy from the threshold to the backyard, blaming him for not dying, and actually burrowing into the plague crowd. If something happened to him, wouldn't the old man Lu, who had always been honest and had never offended anyone, inside and out, want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man?

Lu Wenping smiled: "Xu Erniang, didn't I come to pay off yesterday's meal money?" In the past month, although the inn has been frequently poisoned, especially the wine, there is a lot of shortage. Now the culprit is talking and laughing in front of himself, but he surprisingly does not lose his temper.

"And you want to use the 'cooking way' you learned from books to trick my man?" the woman sneered.

Lu Wenping only responded with a wicked smile: "But isn't it?" and called the man upstairs. The man was at a loss, and he just smiled at the woman, and then followed upstairs, and the illiterate man went upstairs to listen to Lu Wenping's "kitchen way" in the book.

After about half an hour, the two seemed to have a good conversation, and walked down the stairs shoulder to shoulder. The man smiled and said, "I have lived in vain for forty and two, and I have been taught and taught." Lu Wenping, who was on the side, smiled casually.

As soon as he came downstairs, the man was pulled aside by the woman and whispered.

"As soon as he says it, you understand?"

"It's colorful, it feels immersive, and it's hard for me to understand it. ”

The woman looked at the man who had not grown in cooking skills in the past month, but his kung fu in bed had improved by leaps and bounds, and smiled, this honest and honest man in the family, no matter what the "cooking way" is, some ways, my own man seems to be really enlightened.

Jiang Chengzi, who has followed his master in the streets and alleys of his hometown to prescribe prescriptions for others since he can remember, has never seen a scene of so many patients, so he has to write prescriptions one by one. Master had been busy all morning, so that the crowd would not come one after another.

Near noon, a weak woman holding a rag swaddling cloth finally managed to squeeze in front of the teacher from the dwindling crowd, and suddenly the patient who had been waiting for a long time scolded her.

In Suping City, where everyone is in danger today, who sees a doctor who is not in a hurry to see a doctor? It's better to be in a hurry, and no one is not in a hurry. Why is it that you, a weak woman, are so selfish, and when you come, you have to beg your master to see a doctor? If you are really poor and evil, this kind of person deserves to be plagued and brutal in the wilderness.

When the people who came saw the master, they didn't say much, even if they knelt on the ground. "Old doctor, save my son. The woman hugged her son in her arms and said with tears trembling.

This old master, who has been practicing medicine and saving people all his life, did not say much, but just took out five taels of silver and put it in the hands of the child who had long been breathing. "The girl forgives her sins, the old man can't do anything. The girl should go buy a new dress for the child, it's cold underground, so the child has to go!"

When he heard that a miracle doctor was coming to the city, he dug up the son who was buried three days ago, and dug up the grave without asking her mother-in-law's family. He also doesn't care about whether he behaves appropriately or not, and he doesn't care about the complaining patients around him. Holding the unclothed child, he sat on the ground alone, wailing and crying.

"Son, my mother can't stand you. ”

The sick people who were originally noisy fell silent in an instant.

To save people, we must save first, but to cure diseases, we must also first cure our hearts.

Lu Wenping, who had grown up as a refugee in the north of Suping City, and had long been accustomed to life and death, saw this scene, and for some reason, he actually sat on the table next to him with the privately engraved "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Great Happiness" and laughed out loud out of place.

Jiang Chengzi, who had never been in the world and had a pure heart, was immediately furious when he saw this unscrupulous thief with a hard heart. If this kind of sloppy scoundrel whose conscience is taken away by a dog gets a plague in the future, even if he cries, makes trouble, hangs himself, he will stop the master, and he will not treat him, and see if he can laugh at that time.

looked at the little doctor who was originally concentrating on copying prescriptions and sketching on the pharmacology of medical books and looking at himself viciously. This gloating scholar brazenly stepped forward to talk and said with a playful smile.

"I also have this medical pharmacology, which is full of 'medical Tao', do you see it?"

"Don't look at it, as soon as you look at the word 'Da Le Fu', you will know that it is an anecdote that circulates in the market, and now you are busy opening a prescription, how can you have any spare time?"

Although it is called "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Great Happiness", but it is just a name, the author uses my generation's unattainable writing skills, with music to set off sadness, and portray the sophistication of human feelings in a touching and heartfelt way, so that it is sad and sad. ”

"If that's the case, heaven and earth, yin and yang will all be sad together, how sad it is!"

"No, I've watched it three or five times, and every time I have to burst into tears. ”

"Then why aren't you crying now?"

"It's not like I haven't watched it now, I must have cried when I watched it, the kind of crying that tears splashed straight out. ”

"But why don't you not cry now, but the more you laugh, the more you laugh?"

"Alas, there is joy in suffering. ”

This poor scholar, who had been stealing chickens and dogs all day long in Suping City, turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
