what!Ginseng is refined!

Du Qiang had already made it clear to the old doctor when he came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.He quietly told the old doctor that he didn't want to study medicine and wanted to join the army, but he had to wait until his younger brother was older and his parents felt relieved before he left.

So in the next two or three months, the old doctor temporarily put the matter of accepting apprentices behind him.

However, because of the toothache a few days ago, Xiao Tianyun reluctantly cut a leaf to relieve his pain, and the old doctor suddenly brought this matter up from the back of his mind.

In particular, the "life experience" of the two of them is the same, and the incident a few days ago can be regarded as a test of character...

The old doctor was exercising in the yard in the morning, thinking absently, this ginseng spirit must know that the thorns are the mushrooms in the flowerpot, otherwise how could he take good care of the mushrooms and take good care of them.But in this way, the old doctor is relieved, thinking that even if he is gone in the future, they can take care of each other and accompany each other...

The old doctor thinks a lot, from accepting apprentices, to after his death, to these two growing up, and later... He has been observing him and his apprentices for the past two days. I found that the relationship between him and his apprentice is really good, and there are some imprints of him and Ziheng's childhood sweetheart when he was young. That period of teenage years is really nostalgic.

The old doctor looked at the relationship between these two people with the memory of the past, and found that the ginseng spirit was strange, no, it was Xiao Tianyun, and he already knew the boy's name from his apprentice through observation, so he could no longer call him that.He found that Xiao Tianyun's temperament seemed somewhat similar to his own, so the more the old doctor watched, the more he liked it.

During the old doctor's observation, he inadvertently discovered that his apprentice's little follower, Du Zhuang, was very talented in medicine, and asked Jing to distinguish several confusing medicinal materials after four or five times. Distinguish... the age of eight/nine is the age that loves to mess around the most, but Du Zhuang can calm down behind Wen Jing to help deal with the medicinal materials, and even helped grab the medicine once, although it was done with Wen Jing, But also very good.

The old doctor excused the toothache for the past few days to have sequelae, he wanted to take a good rest, he didn't care about the things in the clinic, he only paid attention to his apprentices, Xiao Tianyun, Du Zhuang, and the rabbit didn't even take him out for a walk.As a result, under the double care of Xiao Tianyun and Du Zhuang, as well as Wen Jing's tolerance and indulgence, the red-backed sweet-scented osmanthus and horsetail ephedra both gained a lot of weight. bounced back.

When the old doctor finally came to his senses, he suddenly found that the two rabbits he raised were gone. He would never admit that the two rabbits in the yard were just rabbits, they were two pigs...

……

When it was approaching Haishi, Du Fugui's family came back from work in the field. Du Qiang came to take Du Zhuang back, and the old doctor greeted him: "Let's eat here, all the teas are ready, and call your parents over. I just have something to say."

Du Qiang was a little confused, but he still went to call his parents over.

The six people wanted to eat in the yard, and the stone table was surrounded. With the dishes and bowls and chopsticks added, Xiao Tianyun had to be temporarily moved by Chu Wenjing. The moonlight was very good tonight, so he didn't want to go back to the house to stay. Wen Jing had no choice but to put him under the eaves.

A group of people chatted about the family while eating. Du Fugui and his wife didn't know what was going on with the old doctor.

Since Du Zhuang was pressed out of the pustules that day, although he cried a lot in pain, the pain stopped after more than half an hour. In the past two days, he ate well, slept soundly, and asked Brother Jing to play with him Son, I've been in a good mood.Today was the first time he ate the meal made by brother Wenjing, and he even helped out, so he was concentrating on the meal during the meal, and he didn't see the eyes of his parents at all, and Du Zhuang, who ignored people, The attitude is very easy to make people think too much. After a meal, it's okay for Du Fugui to be a big bastard, but Du Zhuang's mother thinks a little too much, and his tanned face shows some embarrassing redness. The old doctor criticized.

Unexpectedly, not only did the old doctor not criticize, but he even praised his family for a long time. This made Du Zhuangniang a little confused. She rubbed her hands on her trousers and asked straightforwardly: "Old doctor, my family is strong. What's the matter? Are you disobedient here these days?"

The old doctor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No, no, that's right, I don't have a relationship with Qiangqiang as a master and apprentice? These two days Zhuangzhuang was in the hospital, and I followed him to ask Brother Jing about his busy schedule. Zhuang Zhuang is very talented in medicine, but the old man still wants to take an apprentice, no, let me ask your opinion?"

Du Zhuang was following Chu Wenjing to help wash the dishes, but he didn't know that the adults were discussing him.

Because the old doctor personally came to the door to accept Du Qiang as an apprentice, Du Qiang disagreed, and the couple always felt a little embarrassed. At this time, the old doctor proposed to accept Du Qiang as an apprentice. There is no direct consent.

Du Zhuang's mother kicked Du Fugui under the stone table, and then Du Fugui said what the two of them meant, "We definitely have no objection, it depends on Zhuangzhuang..."

The old doctor waved his hands with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about it for a while, the old man will ask him personally."

After the old doctor finished speaking, he seemed to inadvertently look back at the flowerpot leaning against the eaves.

There were not many things to do at first, and three people cleaned together, so it was cleaned up quickly.

It was so late, Du Zhuang was a little sleepy, being hugged by his brother Du Qiang, his eyelids were sticky... The old doctor didn't want to lure/abduct a child in front of Du Zhuang's parents and Du Qiang, so it was just right Pretending to be an amiable old man, "It's getting late, Zhuang Zhuang is so sleepy, let's do it tomorrow, don't worry, I will ask him tomorrow, you take him back to rest first."

After sending Du Fugui's family away, the old doctor went back to the stone bench and sat down, watching the apprentice carry the flower pot back to the stone table, and wrap a rabbit fur scarf sewn by Du Feng around the flower pot to keep out the cold.

After Chu Wenjing was finished, the old doctor reported the situation to his disciples first, and said, "Qingjing, I want to take in two more disciples."

This is a big deal, and it was the first time that Chu Wenjing heard from Master Qizi that he had the idea of ​​taking another disciple.Master Qizi and Master Ziheng did have many apprentices in their early years, but after retiring from the palace and settling in Huanglong Town for more than ten years, only Chu Wenjing was the only one. I thought that the masters would not accept any more apprentices, but when I heard it suddenly, I didn't react for a while, but just looked at the master blankly.

The old doctor patted the apprentice's head, and patiently explained to the apprentice, "Zhuang Zhuang is very talented, and he is a good candidate to study medicine. Besides, if you want to go out for a walk in the future, Dujiazhuang will not be able to return to the original place." It's time to have no doctors, and the nearest medical clinic will take a day to go, and Zhuang Zhuang will probably stay here in the future, and you, if you want to leave, you don't have to worry about it..."

At this time, most of the people who have worked hard for a day have already rested, so there is no sound from far and near, and it has been very quiet. There are only low conversations in the backyard of the hospital, and only the old doctor has been talking.

Except that the news was a bit sudden at the beginning, Chu Wenjing was able to accept it later.He also discovered that Du Zhuang and even Xiao Tianyun are very talented in studying medicine. Master loves talents, so naturally he follows the master's idea, and he can accept it.

Seeing that the apprentice accepted it very well, without any resistance and disgust, the old doctor was relieved, and sent the apprentice back to sleep.

Only he, a flowerpot, and the potted plants in the flowerpot were left in the yard. He stretched out his hand to gather the rabbit fur scarf, touched the mushrooms and ginseng affectionately, and in the brightly lit yard illuminated by the moonlight sat for a long time...

The next morning, Du Fugui's family went to work in the field and sent Du Zhuang to the hospital as usual. The old doctor was sitting in the yard drinking porridge. After seeing off Du Fugui and his wife, he greeted Du Zhuang with a smile.

Du Zhuang had some psychological shadows on him, seeing the old doctor smiling at him, he ran away in a hurry, found Chu Wenjing who was busy in the warehouse, and hugged Chu Wenjing's thigh/leg.

Chu Wenjing smiled and touched his head.Du Zhuang let go of his hand, and didn't bother Brother Jing to work. After going out, he sat on a stone bench farthest from the old doctor, and then blocked himself with a big flower pot.

The old doctor smiled and squinted his eyes, as if juggling, and took out a bunch of candied haws from behind. The sugar of the candied haws was yellow, and the appearance was not as good as that made by the peddler who came to the village during the Lantern Festival, but he could smell the scent of candied haws.

Du Zhuang swallowed, his eyes fixed on the candied haws.

The old doctor: "Zhuang Zhuang, do you want to study medicine?"

Du Zhuang was still ignorant of the word "study medicine", and subconsciously asked, "Study medicine?"

"Yes," said the old doctor, "if you study medicine, you can follow you and ask brother Jing every day, and you can help him move the medicinal materials in the warehouse, and you can also help him grab medicine."

Du Zhuang's small eyes were obviously full of joy at asking Brother Jing, and he was not sure when he heard the words, "Really?"

Chu Wenjing was concentrating on getting the medicinal materials in the medicine box. Du Zhuang was here, so he couldn't ask Xiao Tianyun for help, so he had to do it by himself, not knowing that Master Qi Zi had already sold him.

With a homemade candied haws and his apprentice, the old doctor successfully lured/abducted Du Zhuang.

When Chu Wenjing finished his work and came to clean up the porridge and chopsticks, he heard Du Zhuang licking the candied haws and calling "Shi Hu" with his leaky teeth.
