I became beautiful by eating melons

"Master is coming to Beijing!" The three of them were surprised and their eyes lit up.

Seeing that they were not afraid, Ye Rou believed 80% of what they said.

Ding Zichun sighed, "It's been almost twelve years since I last saw Master."

He was a veteran from the battlefield who was shot in the leg. All the doctors said he could not stand up.

He suddenly became a disabled person who couldn't stand up. He couldn't bear the blow at the time, and didn't want to implicate his parents, so he thought about death.

Unfortunately, he attempted suicide twice, but was stopped by his parents.

Just when Ding Zichun was becoming discouraged and wanted to commit suicide for the third time, his master arrived.

At that time, the master was a barefoot doctor who walked the streets and collected some medicinal herbs.

He was particularly interested in difficult and complicated diseases. His parents heard of his name and went to hire someone with high hopes.

Ding Zichun couldn't bear to disappoint his parents, so he had to suppress his suicidal thoughts and cooperate with the treatment.

But he never believed that this old man could cure him.

There are so many military doctors in the army and they can't do anything, so what can a skinny old man do?

Miraculously, after three months of treatment, he actually stood up again!

The army arranged a job for him, but Ding Zichun refused.

During the three months of treatment, he became deeply fascinated by Chinese medicine and wanted to learn it!

Ding Zichun wanted to become Liu Yutang's disciple. At first, Liu Yutang refused. Ding Zichun didn't say much and helped him carry the bamboo basket and followed his master up and down the mountain to collect herbs. After nearly half a year, the master finally gave in and accepted him as a disciple.

For nearly ten years afterwards, Ding Zichun continued to learn from his master.

During this period, the master accepted two more apprentices.

The landlord gave all the medical books in his home collection to the master, and asked the master to take in and take care of his second disciple, Wang Xinchao.

The third junior brother was a homeless beggar picked up by the master.

The three of them followed their master on a long journey, learning skills and gaining knowledge. That period was the happiest time for them.

Until Liu Jintang returned to China and set his eyes on the medical books kept by the master, and sent people to hunt down the master. The master was afraid of implicating them, so he handed the three brothers over to a patient he had treated before, and hurried away with a bamboo basket full of medical books on his back.

After that, for nearly twelve years, Liu Jintang had been sending people to keep an eye on the three brothers, trying to find the whereabouts of their master from them.

They were afraid of bringing trouble to their master, so they dared not go to see him. They kept their mouth shut and could only communicate with him through letters.

The last time I received a letter from my master, he said that he had accepted a new disciple, who was extremely talented and a female disciple.

Only then did the three of them realize that they had a little junior sister.

Later, Liu Jintang got into trouble and the people who were watching them outside disappeared. The three brothers wanted to bring their master to Beijing, but they happened to encounter a competition between Chinese and Western medicine, and the three of them could not leave.

The matter of going to see the master was delayed again and again. I never expected that my junior sister would come to Beijing and the master would come with her!

Speaking of Master, Zhao Quhan sighed and said, "Master must be older than he was twelve years ago."

"Snapped!"

Wang Xinchao, who always had a smile on his face, turned cold and slapped Zhao Quhan hard on the back.

Zhao Quhan screamed in pain.

Wang Xinchao said coldly: "Don't despise Master. Once a teacher, always a father. Even if Master is too old to walk, we are still here!"

Ding Zichun also said: "Master took care of us before, now it is time for us to repay Master."

Ye Rou wanted to tell them that Master was in good health, but she couldn't get a word in.

Zhao Quhan knew he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said, "That's not what I meant. Master is my father, and I am his son. I will definitely take care of Master until the end of his life, and make him happy every day!"

"Who is cursing me here!" A strong voice sounded, and an old man walked quickly into the door. He had silver hair, a long beard, a ruddy complexion, and clear and sharp eyes.

The old man in front of him was in better condition than he was twelve years ago.

For a moment, the three of them were afraid to recognize him.

After Liu Yutang came in, he went straight to Ye Rou and said, "Xiao Rou, did you ask the mute woman to talk to me about something?"

Ye Rou pointed at the three stunned people and said, "Master, they said he is your disciple."

Liu Yutang looked over and saw three people poking at him stupidly.

He stroked his beard and glanced at the three people, carefully identifying them. He suddenly became excited: "Heidan, Hutou, Gouwa! You three have grown so big!"

"Heidan, Hutou, and Gouwa?" Ye Rou blinked.

The three majestic presidents of the Chinese Medicine Association blushed at the same time. They were almost 40 years old, but were still called by their childhood names by the master. They all wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Liu Yutang did not notice his disciples' embarrassment and happily gave them scientific knowledge.

"Heidan is because of this kid. He was very dark when he was young. At that time, his parents asked me to treat him. When the door opened, his parents pointed to the corner and said he was there. He was very dark and suddenly showed a mouthful of white teeth. I was scared at that time."

"Master!" Ding Zichun's face turned red and he called out to his master with a stiff smile.

Liu Yutang scratched his ears and said, "I'm not deaf yet!"

He pointed at Wang Xinchao with great interest and said, "This is your second brother. He was so fat when he was young that his neck was gone and his chin was folded up. His father threw him into my bamboo basket, and guess what happened?"

Ye Rou asked excitedly, "What's going on?"

Liu Yutang said with a smile: "This fat boy fell to the bottom of my bamboo basket and it rotted in an instant."

The smile on Wang Xinchao's face disappeared in an instant.

"Master, you must be tired. Let me massage your legs." Zhao Quhan was afraid that his master would expose his ugly deeds, so he squatted down and massaged Liu Yutang's legs.

Liu Yutang said with satisfaction: "Over the years, you are still the smartest kid."

Wang Xinchao and Ding Zichun looked at each other and decided to embarrass themselves together!

"Junior sister, do you know why your third senior brother is called Gou Wa?" Wang Xinchao asked the question with a smile.

Ye Rou shook her head.

"Second Brother!" Zhao Quhan hurriedly covered Wang Xinchao's mouth.

Ding Zichun continued, "He was originally called Guawa because he loved eating watermelon. As a result, he was chased for two miles by a dog for stealing watermelons. The dog bit him on the butt. From then on, he declared that he would never get along with dogs. Whenever he saw a dog, he would bark and curse at the dog. The villagers saw this so often that they started calling him Gouwa because he was the only child in the village who could imitate a dog's bark the most."

Zhao Quhan felt hopeless and felt completely depressed.

Ye Rou pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

After all, they are our senior brothers, so we should give them some face.

Liu Yutang was particularly happy to see these three apprentices. He enthusiastically took them to see the pharmacy in his backyard, wanting to test whether they had lost their skills over the years.

As soon as they left, Ji Chunming, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Xiao Rou, I want to meet your aunt."

His eyes pleaded.

Ye Rou couldn't bear to refuse, "I'll go ask my aunt for you."
