Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Naturally, Mo Li didn't know what Meng Qi was thinking. He was aroused by Meng Qi's breath, and his own breath also fluctuated suddenly.

Fortunately, Yan Cen and the others were far away and did not see them.

Doctor Mo squinted at Meng Qi, a certain person could cause trouble anytime and anywhere, and now he is not crazy, but he almost got himself involved.

Gerbils can dig holes, what about fish?

——Bumping hard on the river beach for a certain distance, and then diving into the water?Do you want to lose face?

Mo Li's expression remained unchanged, but he was displeased in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and walked directly to the entrance of the valley.

Meng Qi knew he was wrong, touched his nose and followed behind.

When they saw Master Shi Mo and Yan Cen again, they were more cautious and courteous.

The boss is from the Jianghu, he speaks very straightforwardly, no matter how polite he is, he can't show any tricks, but Yan Cen took the first step, chatted with Dr. Mo, praised a few words of medical skills by citing scriptures, and thanked him sincerely.

Mo Li was a little surprised. Since leaving Zhushan County, all he saw were ordinary people, few of whom could read and write. It had been a long time since he saw such a polite manner.

He immediately thought of what Meng Qi said about this person's unusual background.

Mo Li was only slightly surprised, but the head was already stunned.

Men Hulu suddenly opened his mouth, and it was really surprising that he was able to speak so appropriately.

There are very few people who can speak well in this village.Because these people used to walk with their heads down, for fear of attracting attention, and their tongues were very dull.Now that I am old, if I come to learn how to treat others, it will inevitably be worse.

As a result, his sworn brother is nothing but a blockbuster.

Once that gloomy expression was gone, wearing a thick cloak that could completely cover his arms, his whole person seemed to be reborn, with a tall and straight figure, just like the Zhilan Yushu mentioned by the storyteller.

Sure enough, people who have read the book are different.

Master Shimo felt emotional in his heart, he tilted his head and saw Qian Xiaolang who was watching the excitement nearby, his heart moved, he beckoned the young man to his side.

Qian Xiaolang is only 12 years old, and he is very curious about the rare strangers in the village.

He didn't say anything, but blinked his eyes, always peeking at Meng Qi.

Qian Xiaolang didn't know how to hide it, so he was quickly discovered by Mo Li. Seeing the young man looking at Meng Qi reverently, he couldn't help but wonder, since Meng Qi didn't do anything in the Shimo cottage, why did he suddenly have another little boy? admirer?

Meng Qi didn't look sideways.

He's just a curious boy, not worth mentioning.

Yan Cen led the way, and the group entered the largest room in the village, which was similar to other bandit villages used as gathering halls. Although the tables and chairs were made of crude stones, they looked very stylish.

At this time, food and drinks have been prepared in the Juyi hall.

There was nothing to say about the food, just hard biscuits with a bowl of hot broth on the side.

The wine is self-brewed, and there is a smell of wild fruit fermentation. At this time, someone is holding it carefully, pouring it into a gauze bowl, and carefully sifting the wine.

The wine is cloudy, and it is not enough to sieve it once, it needs to be repeated three times.

In the center of the Juyi Hall is a fire pond, and the fire is also lit. There is an iron rack above it, and the sifted wine is put on it to warm it, so that it will not cool the throat when drinking.

While they were busy, everyone stopped their hands when they saw the head of the house bringing someone in.

Some called the second head, some called the first head, and some asked why Qian Xiaolang came.

Master Shi Mo coughed dryly, and gestured to Mo Li with his eyes.

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, saluted unevenly and said: "Thank you, doctor, for saving our second master."

Ink Carp: "..."

There are only six or seven people waiting for them in this gathering hall. At the moment, there is no one who is doing the same salute as others. Others knelt on one leg, and others saluted with palms together. The most exaggerated ones were prostrations like worshiping gods and Buddhas.

If Mo Li didn't know their identities, if it was an outsider who didn't know who came at this moment, suddenly entered this cave-like gathering hall, and saw a group of weird people with strange looks inside, and even saluted in a mess Yes, I was afraid that I would faint from fright, thinking that I had strayed into the monster's lair.

"What kind of ceremony are you doing?!"

The head of the family lost all face, and his eyes were about to pop out.

Yan Cen was also dumbfounded, how could this be entertaining distinguished guests, maybe he was playing tricks?

"...Didn't you say, be more serious? Seriously?"

The people in the village raised their heads and looked at each other, and soon found that the problem was that everyone had a different understanding of the concept of "seriously saluting". Undecided, I simply followed the example of the person next to me, but added "more respectful" details without authorization.

Looking back now, everyone is embarrassed.

"Hey, the doctor laughed at me. My group of brothers are not in good shape on weekdays, so we can't get on the stage."

The head of the family insisted on saving a little face for Shimo Shanzhai, and his heart was furious.

Yan Cen, dumbfounded, gave his troubled and troubled sworn brother a comforting look, and continued to take the lead to greet Mo Li and Meng Qi.

Yan Cen's words were thoughtful, but after such a commotion, the atmosphere couldn't be lively.

Meng Qi half-smile, he thinks this village is interesting.

But Mo Li was sitting upright, as if nothing had happened. When the head scolded him, he simply stared at the fire pit in the middle of the Juyi Hall until everyone was seated, and then slowly looked away.

Yan Cen felt a little grateful in his heart.

The big head took a piece of paper from the person in charge of the warehouse, and seriously handed it to the table: "This is a medicinal material from the cottage, and I am willing to offer it as a consultation fee and reward."

The paper was a little yellowed, half old and not new, but the words on it were well written.

It's just not written in ink, it looks more like sharpened charcoal.

Mo Li raised his eyes and saw that Yan Cen, who was opposite him, felt a little uncomfortable, so he knew who wrote the word.

There is no pen and ink in the Shimo cottage, and it is not easy to find this piece of paper. Mo Li didn't say anything. He took the "gift list" and read it, and found that they were all common herbs, only a wild ginseng was slightly more precious.

He had already bought the herbs Mo Li needed during the day. Although these things were good, Meng Qi didn't need them.Thinking that the people in the cottage might want to use these medicinal materials to replace things, he refused: "You are welcome, Master, I just passed by this mountain, just in time for a meeting..."

The ink carp's voice paused.

Because by the light in the firepit, he found that there were two lines of writing on the back, so he turned it over and looked at it naturally.

Tiger bone, tiger penis.

Although it is also a rare medicinal material, but...

Doctor Mo put the piece of paper on the table silently, and said decisively: "These medicinal materials are useless, and I don't intend to add weight to my luggage when I'm out. A cup made of bamboo tubes in the mountains, it looks a bit wild."

Meng Qi sat close, with good eyesight, and he saw what was written on the paper.

He was about to tease him, when he heard Doctor Mo mentioning the bamboo cup, his expression changed slightly.

Master Shimo didn't understand why Mo Li asked for a cup, but it was a simple matter, so he agreed without hesitation.

Yan Cen also heaved a sigh of relief, it was a helpless move to write tiger bones and tiger whips on the gift list, there was really nothing valuable to be found in the village, things that ordinary people despise, wouldn't it be ridiculous to bring them out.

That tiger is a tyrant in Shimoshan, and has eaten many mountain people. When they first entered the mountain a few years ago, they even attacked and injured several people until they were killed by the master. I stayed in the cottage for a long time, but the salesman couldn't afford it, so I might as well give it to the doctor.

At this time, the warm wine was brought up one after another.

Mo carp doesn't drink alcohol, and Meng Qi doesn't drink alcohol when he drinks medicine. The head of the family is very sorry.

He looked at Qian Xiaolang, wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"Doctor, look at this child..."

Qian Xiaolang dodged subconsciously and covered his mouth.

The head of the family was angry, and said in a low voice: "Do you still want to go out?"

Mo Li turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Qian Xiaolang said dejectedly, "I don't want to, I think life in the village is pretty good."

"Nonsense." The head of the family scolded, and everyone quickly dissuaded him.

After a couple of fusses, the boy ran out tearfully.

Mo Li learned about Qian Xiaolang's origin from other people's gossip. This young man was sold by his parents because of his poor family. Be the son of the old Orion.

This old hunter was sitting in the gathering hall at the moment. He was blind in one eye, and he looked like he encountered a wild beast while hunting, and half of his face was ruined.

At this moment, holding the wine bowl, he sighed and said: "It is said that he is poor, but his family is not completely unable to solve the problem. His father is a child student, because studying has cost the family a lot of money, but the whole family is counting on him. The children are all sold off, and the children are entrusted to his family, I am afraid they are here to pay off the debt!"

"Don't talk about it. If Qian Xiaolang's father is capable, how could he fail the exam after so many years? He is not as smart as Qian Xiaolang. When we met, this kid was only so old and could memorize several books. It’s a pity—”

Regardless of the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, if you want to make progress and take the imperial examination, you don't have to study hard.

If you don't look good enough, you won't even be able to enter the examination room.

Just because being an official is also a front job, so don't think about those who are shabby-looking or have disabilities.

It doesn't matter whether Qian Xiaolang has the talent for reading, or whether he can pass the exam, because since he was born, this road has been missed for him.

As they talked, they remembered that there was a doctor here, so they looked at Mo Li with hope.

Doctor Mo thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

——The gap on the boy's lip was too big. If he only exposed half of his teeth, or if he was younger, he would try to sew it up with gut.

The big boss sighed and said nothing more.

Mo Li vaguely understood what was going on here, and felt a little melancholy. Looking back, he found that Meng Qi was also distracted.

"Brother Meng?"

Meng Qi laughed at himself: "It's nothing, I haven't thought about these things carefully before."

He doesn't care about people's looks.

The ink carp also has this problem.

It turns out that whether it is the way of benevolence and righteousness or the books of sages, even the poems persuading students are to fool people.

There is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, it's just nonsense!There are many people in the world who can study, but they can't take the imperial examination at all. Those who fail to study will waste their money and food and drag their families down.

The suffering in the world is more serious than people think.

After drinking for three rounds, Qian Xiaolang suddenly stumbled back and ran back with frightened eyes.

"Big head, it's not good! There are fires in the ravine outside, and many people have come!"

"What?" The leader suddenly stood up and asked anxiously, "Is there a banner, are you officers and soldiers?"

Yan Cen wanted to go out to see what happened, but was stopped by Mo Li.

"Your illness is still not cured, you need to take the medicine for at least seven days, don't act rashly now."

"But……"

Yan Cen had an ominous premonition.

At this time, someone came in to report.

"It's not like officers and soldiers, but there are a lot of people, it seems to be searching the mountains!"

The author has something to say:

Think about it, if you are ugly, you will not be given an exam or a diploma, and you will be at the bottom all your life→_→Is it scary?

Some dynasties are very particular about appearance. The so-called good-looking is not the kind of good-looking in our concept, but a dignified appearance, such as a Chinese-character face.

Even if you pass the exam, you can answer the papers better than others, not to mention the factions of the family and family, just look at your face, and compare it with your opponent's face, it may make your ranking worse. Back row.

I feel that living in the modern age is pretty good, at least I can read books if I am not good enough, as long as I don’t take the film and television exam, the college entrance examination will not look at the face after all, isn’t it?
