I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 28 I like to watch people buried...

The two of them each got a rabbit leg, and the smell filled the room after they gnawed.

"Rabbit legs are easy to talk about! These are the most indispensable things for people in the mountains! Even if you eat here for a lifetime, it's enough!"

Lao Liu enthusiastically said,

"Do you want more? I'll ask my mother-in-law to make two more!"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand quickly, and said vaguely:
"Enough is enough, eating too much late at night can easily lead to diabetes..."

"It's getting late, you should rest early!"

Old Liu Hanhan smiled, answered, and then exited the door.

In fact, there are only two bedrooms in his house, one is for his eighty-year-old mother, and the rest is for Xu Fenglei and Sun Simiao.

This also meant that he and his wife could only sleep on the floor in the hall.

But even so, Lao Liu was content with it.

……

inside the house.

Xu Fenglei ate so much that his mouth was full of oil, he gnawed the rabbit's legs until only the bones were left, and then he rubbed his fingers.

"Look at your good looks..." Sun Simiao said contemptuously, "If you were my disciple, you would have been thugs already."

"Tch, what's the matter?"

Xu Fenglei said indifferently,
"It's not clean, it's not sick after eating."

While talking, he got on the kang, took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms, held them in his hand and muttered.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Sun Simiao bit off a piece of rabbit meat and asked curiously, "Divination? What are you taking?"

Whoa!

As soon as he finished speaking, the copper coin in Xu Fenglei's hand was already thrown on the kang.

The six copper coins were slightly scattered, but they were still lined up.

Sun Simiao took a closer look.

"Yin yang yin, yang yin yang, words with words are yang, words without words are yin...Is that how you look at it?"

he murmured,

"What is this hexagram?"

Xu Fenglei glanced at it and said with a smile:

"Upper water and lower fire, outer danger and inner light, this 63 hexagrams, water and fire both benefit hexagrams."

"What's the point? What did you find out?" Sun Simiao asked repeatedly.

Although he specializes in medicine, he is also interested in metaphysics.

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Ji Bu hid in Zhou's house, got this hexagram, and met Liu Bangye, the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

Xu Fenglei smiled mysteriously,
"The reception is here. This hexagram sees the image of the king, and it is also the image of respect."

"The person I'm waiting for is coming soon."

Sun Simiao: "???"

The old grandson has question marks all over his head, what is this kid talking about?

He was about to ask in detail, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a human face outside the window, and was startled!
"Who?!" Sun Simiao exclaimed in shock.

Between the flickering and flickering of the candle, the face was a little clearer, it was an immature child.

"Grandpa, I want to study medicine."

The child's pupils were as black as ink, and he said with piercing eyes,
"Please accept me as your apprentice, I kowtow to you..."

As soon as the voice fell, his head popped.

Sun Simiao got up and looked outside, the child was actually kowtowing at the base of the wall.

"Hey, kid, stop knocking, stop knocking..."

Sun Simiao poked his head out and said,

"You get up first, get up, come in and talk."

The child got up immediately and knocked on the door twice.

"Who?"

"Ah...it's Xiao Linzi, don't worry, I haven't forgotten, tomorrow morning..."

"Huh? Grandpa told you to come in?"

"..."

After a short conversation outside the house, the door was knocked lightly twice.

"Come in." Sun Simiao said.

With a creak, Lao Liu walked in with the child, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Mr. Sun, this kid..."

Pfft!
The child immediately knelt down towards Sun Simiao.

"Grandpa, take me as your apprentice! I want to study medicine!" He looked up at Sun Simiao with firm and clear eyes.

"You child, why..." Seeing this, Lao Liu went up to pull him up, but was stopped by Sun Simiao with a wave of his hand.

"It's okay."

Sun Simiao showed a kind smile, and smiled at the child,
"Your name is Xiao Linzi, isn't it?"

"Can you tell me why you want to study medicine?"

Kobayashi pursed his lips.

"My father is dead."

He bowed his head and said,

"If I knew medical skills, he wouldn't die."

"So I want to study medicine so that my grandma and my mother won't die too."

Lao Liu: "..."

Others are stupid.

This answer is too... straightforward.

Xu Fenglei watched all this with great interest, and smiled without saying a word.

"I see."

Sun Simiao suddenly nodded and said,

"I agree with this reason, Grandpa."

"However, studying medicine is very hard, and it is also a skill that depends on talent. It not only requires you to memorize various medical classics, but also requires you to travel through mountains and rivers to find medicinal materials, and it also requires the ability to do it without shaking your hands in times of danger."

"There are many disciples around my grandfather, who have studied for ten or even decades, but their medical skills are still very mediocre, and they are not qualified to treat people..."

When Xiao Linzi heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"I am not afraid of suffering! I am not afraid of being tired either!"

He knocked his head on the ground and said stubbornly,

"I beg my grandfather to pass on my medical skills!"

Sun Simiao gently stroked his beard.

"This son has a pure heart, why don't you accept it, anyway, you have so many apprentices, it doesn't matter if you have one more."

Xu Fenglei joked.

Sun Simiao rolled his eyes.

"The old man accepts apprentices no more now than before. Teaching apprentices requires hard work, and that's all. But if you can't learn after teaching, it's not the fate of eating this bowl of rice. It's the waste of youth that is fatal."

He shook his head and said,

"Learn from the past..."

"Nowadays, if I want this old man to think about recruiting disciples, I have to investigate many aspects. It is not enough to rely on a heart that is not afraid of hardship or tiredness."

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.

The old grandson felt that he was getting old, and he didn't want to recruit disciples indiscriminately, and wanted to find a real successor.

"Son, you get up first."

Sun Simiao helped Xiao Linzi up, stroked his beard and said,

"It's not impossible for you to worship me as a teacher, but you need to pass my inspection."

"If you pass the inspection, I will accept you as an apprentice and teach you medical skills; if you fail, then there is no other way."

"All in all, grandfather, I am willing to give you a chance."

When Xiao Linzi heard this, a look of surprise bloomed on his face!
"really?"

"Master!"

Without saying a word, he kowtowed three more times!
Xu Fenglei yelled in his heart that this kid is on the road, and before the horoscope was written, the master shouted on it first!

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, you go back to sleep."

Sun Simiao laughed and said,

"It's time to grow your body, so you can't delay your rest."

"En!" Xiao Linzi replied heavily, turned and ran away.

"This kid really has a pure heart." Sun Simiao saw him come and go like the wind, simply and neatly, and he felt a little love in his heart.

He accepts apprentices, the most important thing is quality!
And purity is undoubtedly the best quality. From this aspect, Xiao Linzi has already passed the first level.

"Old Liu, what's the matter with this kid. His father is gone?"

Xu Fenglei asked.

"This……"

Old Liu hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly,
"Speaking of which, she is also a poor child."

"His father is a good hunter in the forest, so he is nicknamed Linzi. He is very skilled, but a few days ago when he was hunting in the forest, he accidentally fell into a deep pool."

"Linzi walked very well, but he couldn't use water. He almost drowned! The man who went with him finally rescued him. He thought that he would be fine, but that night he had a high fever, trembling all over, and he couldn't get out. Sweat, looks like crazy, I can't hold it down!"

"In two days, he died..."

Sun Simiao's expression froze.

"People in the village say that he ran into the water ghost in the deep pool, and was possessed by the water ghost and took his soul!"

Lao Liu shook his head and said,
"No, he just passed his first seven days tomorrow, and people in our village have to go to the mountain to bury him. I am also one of the coffin bearers."

There are not many people in the village, so if something happens to someone's family, the whole village must help.

"Water ghost?"

Sun Simiao looked at Xu Fenglei thoughtfully, pouted and said,
"What is your business?"

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.

"My business is a fart! I'm not sweating but I'm irritable, and the big green dragon soup is the master."

He said angrily,

"Why don't you test me here?"

"This person must have been forced by the cold air of the cold pool, and he can't sweat. Naturally, he is troubled and worried, because the cold evil has already invaded his lungs."

"Old Liu, let me ask you, did he still scratch his heart and scratch his chest before he died?"

When Lao Liu heard this, he nodded in shock!

"Yes! How do you know?!"

He quickly gave a thumbs up and said in admiration,
"You are amazing!"

"Lin Zi was indeed scratching his heart all the time before he died, tearing the skin in his chest! Flesh and blood came out!"

"It is precisely because of this that everyone thinks that he was killed by a water ghost. Otherwise, how could he have such a strange disease and self-mutilation..."

Sun Simiao nodded slightly.

"Your master taught you well." He praised, "It is indeed the disease. Daqinglong Decoction is the most effective prescription for sweating. Once you put it on, you will sweat like rain, and the disease will go away."

Xu Fenglei snorted lightly, but did not respond.

"No wonder this kid wants to study medicine..."

Sun Simiao said with emotion,
"If the old man had come seven days earlier, maybe his father could still be saved."

"Because there is no good doctor in the village, he can only watch his father die in pain, and he is also said to be killed by ghosts."

"It is reasonable for him to see this old man practicing medicine and saving illnesses today, so he has such a simple wish and ambition."

During the words, he was even more sympathetic to the small forest.

The idea of ​​accepting disciples has already been moved in my heart.

"So it's really sick..."

When Lao Liu heard the conversation between the two, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help sighing,
"We were ignorant and thought it was ghosts that harmed people, so we did a lot of rituals to exorcise evil spirits..."

"Tomorrow, I will clarify with everyone in the village. This is what the two gentlemen said, and everyone must believe it!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

It should be clarified, you can't let people die and be despised by others, isn't it?

"Mr. Sun, Xiao Linzi is a very good boy! Please take him in!"

Old Liu suddenly bowed and begged,
"He must be able to learn medicine well!"

Be it public or private, he hoped that Sun Simiao would accept Xiao Linzi as his apprentice.

In this way, there will be a doctor in their village who can cure diseases and save lives!
"...The old man will consider it."

Sun Simiao thought over and over again, but still did not make a rash decision, waved his hand and said,

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Xu Fenglei suddenly added:

"Tomorrow's burial, let's go to see it together, I like to watch people's burial."

Lao Liu: "..."

What kind of special hobby is this?
"it is good."

He responded, turned around and closed the door for the two of them, and went back to sleep in the hall.
