Chapter 14 Apprenticeship and Study
After breakfast, Hu Jiu studied the Compendium of Materia Medica again, and then walked in the direction of Uncle Wang's medical hall, at this moment his heart was as sweet as eating honey, and now his grandmother and uncle's health has improved and they are shocked! In this way, he can go out to practice with confidence.
"Uncle Wang, thank you for your Compendium of Materia Medica, now the thing has returned to its original owner!" Hu Jiu said to the village doctor, Uncle Wang, with a smile.
"Wait! You kid took a hard time to bluff me in the morning, and then deceived my precious Compendium of Materia Medica, and it took such a short while, what do you mean? Look down on my Compendium of Materia Medica?" Uncle Wang blushed and said sharply.
"Uncle Wang, how dare you, boy, you are the miracle doctor of our stubborn stone village, and you are famous far and wide. I admire your medical skills very much, and I want to take it back to study, but who knows that this compendium of herbs is too difficult to understand, and I can't understand it at all, so I will return it to you. Hu Jiu said with a strange smile.
Uncle Wang said proudly with a look of enjoyment: "Well, you kid is not bad, diligent and studious, and knows how to advance and retreat." ”
Hu Jiu smiled and handed back the Compendium of Materia Medica in his hand, but his fingertips touched Uncle Wang's hand slightly, and he melted a drop of immortal dew into Uncle Wang's body with his fingertips.
"This Uncle Wang also saved himself last time, and now that he sees that he has a disease in his body, he can't ignore it! Hu Jiu thought secretly.
Suddenly, Uncle Wang was stunned, and his face began to change uncertainly, one moment of joy, one moment of doubt, one moment of hard thinking, and fell into deep thought. But his body breath is getting healthier and healthier, and the stubborn diseases in his body seem to be gradually beginning to heal, which makes him unable to figure it out.
Hu Jiu was about to slip away quietly, when suddenly Uncle Wang said with a slightly red smile on his face:
"Wait! You kid has poor grades in reading, but for the sake of... For the sake of what your grandmother has entrusted me just now, I can take you as an apprentice, and in the future, I will follow me to learn medicine, and there will be no problem in eating together. ”
"Oh, it seems that my grandmother has just come to say hello to Uncle Wang, alas! Now that I can't make an inch of progress in my cultivation, when I travel abroad, medical skills will definitely be useful, so let's learn medicine from Uncle Wang first." Hu Jiu thought to himself.
"But ......," Uncle Wang was about to continue speaking.
Hu Jiu quickly shouted: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" After speaking, he decisively bowed to Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang's old face twitched, but he didn't expect this kid to agree without saying a word, and he originally wanted to talk about some conditions, so he reluctantly responded: "Okay! Ah Jiu, you will follow the teacher to practice medicine outside the village today, and you will also have a long experience!"
Saying that, a middle-aged woman came to the door of the medical hall and said anxiously: "Doctor Wang, my grandson's illness has to trouble you to go again, please come with me!"
Uncle Wang cleaned up the medicine box, put on the yellowed white coat, then looked back at Hu Jiu and said, "Okay! Let's go, Ah Jiu will follow." ”
The middle-aged woman looked at Hu Jiu curiously, as if she guessed that he was Uncle Wang's apprentice, so she didn't say anything.
I followed the middle-aged woman over the mountains for more than an hour, and finally saw a small village at the foot of a mountain, bustling with more than a dozen families, and the houses were scattered in the south, south, north, and west.
Hu Jiu looked at Uncle Wang carefully, there was almost no rest in the middle of the way, except for his gray hair and some sweat between his beard, there was no tiredness on his face, and he secretly thought in his heart, "I didn't expect the master's foot strength to be so good, he is so old, and he is still walking on the ground on this rugged mountain road." ”
"We're here, Doctor Wang, please!" the middle-aged woman said and beckoned Uncle Wang into the house, while Hu Jiu followed obediently.
"Xiaohui, are you ready for lunch? Dr. Wang arrived, and added another pair of chopsticks. The middle-aged woman finally smiled and shouted.
Uncle Wang said lightly: "Let's make us a cup of tea first! It's important to see a doctor, take me to see your grandson's condition." ”
The middle-aged woman's apologetic face squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay! ”
Uncle Wang and Hu Jiu followed the middle-aged woman into the third room on the right hand side of the house, and on the left hand side of the door was a window, but the curtains of this window were a little thick, and there were several layers when you looked closely, and almost sealed the window.
When he saw the woman open the door and come in, he called out to his grandmother with joy, but as soon as he had taken a few steps forward, he retreated into the corner of the room with a terrible scream, and curled up in the darkness with fear on his face.
This strange scene startled Hu Jiu, and he choked directly on the sip of tea he had just drunk, thinking that he was also a capable cultivator, he became a little bolder, but the terrible scream just now really made his hairs rise and goosebumps all over his body.
The middle-aged woman just looked anxious, and Uncle Wang drank the tea, staring at the little boy strangely, when he came last week, the little boy's eyes were only red and swollen, and he was not afraid of the light to this extent!
"Did you give him the medicine I gave you last week?" Uncle Wang asked as he turned back to the middle-aged woman.
"I gave him the medicine every morning, noon and evening, and it seemed to be a little useful at first, the child was not so afraid of light when he closed his eyes and applied the medicine, but as soon as he took off the medicine bag, it became more and more serious. ”
"Doctor Wang, what kind of illness do you think my grandson has?" the middle-aged woman asked anxiously.
After listening to the woman's words, Uncle Wang looked at the little boy in the corner again, and said thoughtfully: "At first, I thought he was just inflammation caused by an eye disease."
"If it weren't for the inflammation, with his current symptoms, I would have had to try again, but there was no certainty of a cure. Uncle Wang said with a serious face and a slight sigh.
"Doctor Wang, please, you must help our family Ji Yong!" After speaking, the woman began to cry to herself.
Looking at the crying woman, Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Okay! I'll do my best! You go out with me to prepare a pair of medicines, if this pair of medicines is useless, then I really have no choice." ”
When she came to the hall, the white young woman Xiaohui was arranging the food on the table, and then said to the woman, "Mom, Doctor Wang, you can eat." ”
Mrs. Ji looked at the white woman and did not answer, but looked at Uncle Wang with an anxious expression.
Uncle Wang quickly opened the medicine box, took out some medicinal materials, handed them to Mrs. Ji and said, "You grind these medicinal materials into powder, and then mix them with rice juice and give them to the child, and you will know the results after half an hour." ”
Mrs. Ji took the medicinal herbs, instructed the white woman to greet Uncle Wang and Hu Jiu for lunch, and went to the back room to prepare the potions by herself.
This Xiaohui looks to be in her twenties, with black hair hanging down to her waist, but she is not messy at all, her white skin and clear eyes give people a very comfortable feeling, but her frowning brows show that she is preoccupied, she skillfully serves food to Uncle Wang and Hu Jiu, and says a little nervously: "Doctor Wang, what is my son's illness?"
Unexpectedly, this young woman was actually the child's mother, Uncle Wang looked up at Xiaohui and said, "At present, I am just guessing, and I can't conclude yet, don't worry, I will do my best!"
Xiaohui smiled and said, "Then trouble Dr. Wang, please eat first!"
After speaking, he beckoned the master and apprentice to eat.
