"Three years of handymanship, five years of study, and after eight years, you can be in charge of everything on your own. ”

At this time, Sun Heng had already laid down on the bed, but the meaning was still in the words of the young man named Han Lin just now.

"At that time, you can be regarded as a real disciple of the master, you can specialize in medical skills in your spare time, and if you don't understand, you can also ask the master, and when you can make the master really satisfied, you can officially become a teacher!"

"Then what if the master has been dissatisfied?" Shi Shaoyou asked.

"Always dissatisfied?"

Han Lin smiled coldly: "Then you can work here for the rest of your life! At least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

"Senior Brother Han. ”

Sun Heng arched his hand: "I don't know where our foreign apprentice is?"

What he said just now is the arrangement of the internal affairs apprentice, and the external affairs apprentice is obviously not the case.

"A way out?"

Han Lin sneered again: "If you can learn the ability to support your family, it is your way out, be content! Of course, if you are talented and practice martial arts well, you can also apply to be transferred to the county seat." ”

"Martial arts!" Sun Heng's eyes lit up.

"Well, after a month, someone will pass on a martial art to you, which can increase your strength. ”

Han Lin put his hands behind his back and didn't want to say more: "In short, you will know when the time comes, how long is the time here, don't be in a hurry!"

"Martial Arts ......"

On the bed, Sun Heng muttered to himself.

"What's your name?"

I don't know when, when it was dark, two people came over, and the person who opened his mouth did not forget to introduce himself: "My name is Zhang Chongjiu, and his name is Chen Tieying." ”

It was a small and simple room, half of which was stacked with tools for handling medicinal herbs, and the other half was filled with four beds.

The boy who spoke was also eight or nine years old, with a round figure and a kind face.

Chen Tieying was a tall and thin man, with lowered eyebrows and a depressed face, standing with Zhang Chongjiu.

"My name is Sun Heng. ”

Sun Heng sat up from the bed and pointed at Shi Shaoyou on the other bed with one hand: "His name is Shi Shaoyou." ”

"You guys have nice names. ”

Zhang Chongjiu blinked: "Have any of you been assigned to internal affairs as an apprentice?"

"Me. ”

Shi Shaoyou seemed to be a little afraid of life, and raised his hand timidly: "I was divided into an internal affairs apprentice. ”

"Ahh

Zhang Chongjiu and Chen Tieying looked envious: "It's good, I heard that the handyman of the housekeeping apprentice is very relaxed, and he can learn words and medicinal materials at other times." ”

"I ...... I'm literate. ”

Shi Shaoyou whispered.

"Are you literate?"

Zhang Chongjiu was stunned: "Why did you come here as an apprentice if you were literate, your family must be very rich, right?"

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here are all expensive supplies, and ordinary people can't afford to use them at all.

Generally speaking, people who are literate will not be wrong with their family background.

"I ...... Something happened to me in my house. ”

Shi Shaoyou spoke quietly, and after speaking, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry on the spot.

Belch............

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all consciously did not continue to ask.

Several of them are young people, although they are precocious, but they are also very mature, especially Sun Heng deliberately got closer to each other, and it didn't take long for several people to talk and laugh.

Zhang Chongjiu and the others were apprentices accepted by the pharmacy yesterday, and they came a day early, and they knew a lot more than Sun Heng.

According to them, in addition to the four of them, there were two girls in the apprentices recruited by the pharmacy this time, one named Erya and the other named Chuxia.

The girl named Chu Xia is also an apprentice in internal affairs, when Zhang Chongjiu and Chen Tieying mentioned her, in addition to envy, there was also some hazy goodwill of a teenager in their eyes.

In addition, in addition to the shops here, there is also a warehouse near the east gate.

It was mainly responsible for purchasing herbs collected by the mountain people and transporting various materials to the county town, and was a frequent place for foreign apprentices.

And here, it is mainly the housekeeping apprentices who are in charge.

As for the martial arts that Sun Heng was most concerned about, the two of them didn't know much about this, but they only knew that when the one-month inspection period passed, the masters of the pharmacy would make arrangements.

There was nothing to do that day, and after having dinner without saying a word, the four of them went into the bed in advance.

They have been informed in advance that from tomorrow the busy apprenticeship will officially begin. Today's leisure will never be seen again.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the door of the four people was kicked open, and the cold wind poured in.

"Little bunnies, get up and get to work!"

The person who spoke had a very loud voice, and in the dim night, his figure was especially burly: "Hurry up, don't let me whip!"

None of the four showed impatience, they all got up without saying a word, followed each other honestly, and went out at night.

In the room next to it, there were also two thin figures walking out at this time, which should be the early summer and the second girl in Zhang Chongjiu's mouth.

Sun Heng turned his face to look, but it was too dark to see the other party's face clearly.

"Let's go to the pit first!"

The big man who led the way in front lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to wake up others: "Follow me to get tools." ”

Shovels, buckets, single-wheeled trolleys.

Six people in groups of three, male and female, first rushed to the latrine, and after a busy meal, they pushed two carts of feces, and handed them over to a woman to push away and sell.

"Broom! Two housekeepers take the small one. ”

There was no time to wash their hands, and the six people who were covered in the stench continued to clean the courtyard and the street in front of the door.

Judging from the arrangement, this person is still deliberately taking care of the housekeeping apprentice.

Clearing the garbage, putting things away, and by the time they were done with their work, the day was already bright, and the rest of the pharmacy had already had breakfast and started the day.

The back kitchen has reserved meals for them, clear soup with little water, and a few plates of pickles, but they can drink a full stomach.

After eating, and without time to rest, the big man reappeared, arranging for six people to carry tools, collect the clothes that should be washed in each room, and send them to the official handyman to be washed.

During this period, if someone greets them, they should also respond immediately and help.

If the reaction is slow......

"Smack!"

A crisp slap made Shi Shaoyou's body tremble beside him, he moved a little slower when he was cleaning the latrine, and he was slapped hard by the big man, and now half of his cheeks are still bulging.

This time it was the girl named Erya who was beaten, black and thin, but she knocked down a handful of dried herbs.

"Pick it up!"

The Han people call Master Jia, an old man in the pharmacy, his face is full of meat, very hideous, and he is yelling at Erya: "Clumsy, next time, I will chop your hand directly!"

During the apprenticeship, he was beaten and scolded, which was the norm in the pharmacy.

Not only the six of them are new, but the apprentices who have been in the pharmacy for many years, if they do something wrong, the masters are also beaten and scolded at every turn, and they have never been polite.

This kind of master's suppression of apprentices, and the absolute control of the top over the bottom, is a norm for people in this world.

Everyone, regardless of their position, takes this kind of thing for granted.

Even Shi Shaoyou, who has a good background, is now under the fence, his status has changed, and in the face of others' reprimands, beatings and scolding, he is also submissive, obedient, and even dare not get angry in secret.

But in the view of Sun Heng, who is receiving equal education, this situation is a distortion of human nature.

However, this is the case here, and he has no opinion.

"What do you want, get to work!"

With a pain in his back, his body slammed into a stumble, Sun Heng took a deep breath, picked up the medicinal materials next to him, and sent them to the apprentice who needed to deal with them.

Undoubtedly, the six of them are the new arrivals, and they are the lowest level here, and anyone can beat and scold!

Forget it, in order to learn martial arts, this grievance, endure it!

It's a big deal, after you finish your studies, you will get revenge back!

Sun Heng thought silently in his heart, and secretly launched Ah Q's divine skill.
