Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 158 Studying Medicine
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun sheds light, dyeing the green hills and meadows in golden yellow.

Smoke curled from the chimneys of every house.

Under the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village.

Cigarette butts all over the floor.

A group of idlers were about to get up and go home for dinner.

With a bitter face, Li Hongbing held down Li Hongqi beside him, "It's still early, let's chat later, we've just reached that point, don't you think it's time to pay attention to the thatched cottage?"

The corner of Hong Qi's mouth twitched, with a bitter face, "Brother, I visited the thatched cottage six times, and Zhuge Liang couldn't take it anymore. I want to go home for dinner."

The scholar who was sitting by the side also pursed his dry mouth, "Brother Hongbing, you also dragged Meng Huo five times seven times. Meng Huo was caught by Zhuge Liang more than 30 times."

"And Guan Yu scraped the bone to heal his wounds, seven or eight times. It is really impossible for Hua Tuo to chop off Guan Yu's arm directly."

Li Hongbing took out the bag Huazi in a nonchalant manner, and distributed it to the idlers, "Eat cigarettes, eat cigarettes."

Looking at the cigarettes handed over, Li Hongqi felt nauseated in his throat.

No matter how good a cigarette is, you can't stop smoking it, one after another, you don't get tired from smoking, your mouth gets tired.

"Brother, to be honest, did you offend the mother-in-law?"

"How do you know?" Li Hongbing was taken aback.

Li Hongqi snickered, and pointed to the two pillars on the opposite side.

"Here, a few days ago he annoyed his wife and dragged us to the entrance of the village for half a night, begging for a sample from you"

Er Zhu raised his head, hehe hehe smiled proudly instead of ashamed.

However, Li Hongqi immediately asked with a wretched face.

"Brother Hongbing, the woman you offended was Sister Shan Xing or Teacher Cui. Why? Is it because I didn't get a good bed at night, or I didn't work hard."

Mentioning this, the surrounding gentlemen were no longer hungry or thirsty, their eyes were full of envy and excitement, and they looked at Li Hongbing in unison.

Women and bed are always the hottest topics for men, especially in rural areas, where not only their language is unscrupulous, but some even dare to take action.

In the early years, every summer, when it was hot, there was no need to boil water for bathing, and the villagers usually went to streams and rivers to wash.

There is a river bend for men, and a river bend for women, and the two sides are far apart.

However, at night, the more men take a bath in the river bend, the fewer people there are, especially those young men who are young, they disappear after a while after going down the river.

Later, the woman taking a bath in the river bend found someone peeping, and howled over, and ten bare-bodied men could run out of the grass nest.

Later, more and more people peeped, from the village head to the team leader, all of them were scolded bloody by the women. The village committee became ruthless and organized the militia to patrol. Continue to commit crimes against the wind.

It wasn't until I caught a few typical examples and gave them peanuts that I stopped this behavior.

Li Hongbing ignored Li Hongqi, instead he smiled and asked the villagers what they said.

The scholar rushed to say, "One, three, five go to Miss Shan Xing, two, four, six to Teacher Cui."

"What about Sunday?" Li Hongbing was curious.

Everyone spoke in unison.

"Let's go together."

Vaughnima!
Rumors are spreading here!
No wonder Sister Cui wants to move out of the old house.

Whoever listens is not confused.

Li Hongbing stretched out his hand and patted Xiucai's head speechlessly, "Don't listen to the old lady's nonsense, I have nothing to do with Teacher Cui."

Li Hongqi waved his hand, as if he didn't care at all.

"Hey, what's the matter? Only those who are capable find two wives. Look at Luo Mazi in Shilipu, who sells pigs from the mountains to the city. In a few years, he becomes a household of ten thousand yuan. One is married at home and another is raised outside. , who is gossiping."

When he opened his mouth, it seemed that he had opened up the inside story of the forest area that was unknown but well known to everyone.

"No, Zhao Fu who built the school for our village, he is also two wives, I heard that they still live together, tsk tsk tsk, he came to the village a few days ago, he lost a lot of weight, even Tian Duoxu couldn't stand it."

"There is also Erdaowan Huaishun, who sold stones and made a fortune. He raised one in the city and one at home. Who doesn't know."

"There are a few in Liujiagou, whoever cares if the mother-in-law is willing."

"Uncle Hongbing has a thin face. No one in our village knows that you, Shan Xing, and Teacher Cui are a couple."

"That's right, Uncle Hongbing has the ability to find two wives. If you look at Hongqi, Xiucai, and Jianjun, they have neither skills nor money. They haven't been able to find a wives yet."

"Hey, hey!! Why are you teasing me? I don't have the money to marry a wife. If Victory married a wife, why don't I just run away?"

"You donkey said, look for a beating."

"You really do it, I'll take it out"

"Ouch!"

Seven or eight idlers huddled together like children, but they didn't notice Li Hongbing walking towards the meadow melancholy.

Da da da!
Hei Feng was full of food and drink, ran to Li Hongbing and stopped, rubbing his big head on Li Hongbing's face.

go back!

You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.

Li Hongbing sighed, got on his horse and was about to go home when he suddenly remembered something and rode his horse towards the north slope.

Such a big hornet's nest can pick out ten catties of bee kernels, so it's too wasteful to just throw it away like this.

Taking it back is also a consolation prize.

Carrying the hornet's nest, he ran all the way back to the old house.

Li Hongbing stood at the door with a guilty conscience and lingered. If his daughter told Shan Xing that he was the first to poke the honeycomb, Shan Xing's obstinate and stubborn temperament would definitely not let him go, not to mention that there was Cui sister poking the fire beside him.

Whoa!

The courtyard door opened a crack.

With their heads down, Dahua and Xiaobai sneaked out the door, looked up and saw Li Hongbing, who was not as affectionate as usual, and ran into the meadow softly.

I go.

This is the instinct of animals to escape when they find danger. It seems that the house is full of gunpowder.

Take courage.

Li Hongbing pushed the door and entered, looking at the main room at the end of the stone road, his heart sank uncontrollably.

"Master." The blind man walked out of the vegetable garden, took the hornet's nest from Li Hongbing's hand, and quickly said in a low voice, "Aunt Xing'er knows about it."

really.

The little traitor with broken teeth betrayed his own father.

Li Hongbing was speechless, and handed the gourd bag to the blind man, asking him to take out the bee kernels.

Bite the bullet and continue walking towards the yard.

At this moment, a touching song wafted from the old oak tree.

"Walking, wandering."

"Thousands of miles of surging rivers will never stop."

"It's gone, it's a matter of the world."

"Mixed into a torrent of trends."

Hemp egg!

Why are those two dead parrots crazy?

I was terrified.

Li Hongbing used perception to make the two silly birds close their beaks.

The icy-faced Shan Xing and Sister Cui were sitting in the old oak tree, and there was also the little traitor with gaping teeth secretly grimacing with swollen brows.

The second trial!
Li Hongbing showed a humble smile, "Yo, what is this, wait for me to come back. Nier, come here and let Dad see if the wound still hurts."

When Anna heard her father calling, she twisted her body and wanted to get off the ground, but she was held firmly in her arms by Shan Xing, her beautiful eyes seemed angry and helpless.

"What are you doing? It's so scary. Is the meal ready? I'm hungry!" Li Hongbing rubbed his stomach, pretending to be very hungry.

Hearing that Li Hongbing was hungry, Shan Xing was about to get up when she was dragged back to her seat by Sister Cui.

Suddenly, Sister Cui's backlog of anger erupted like a volcano.

As a substitute teacher for more than 20 years, such a serious incident has never happened in my teaching career.

The whole class of students, one pot, no one is pulled down.

From Anna's mouth, I learned that it was Li Hongbing who left the classmate where he was, went to stab the hornet's nest by himself, and finally cheated himself together.

This kind of irresponsible behavior is so annoying.

"Tell me, who the hell took the students to poke the beehive today?"

Li Hongbing made the last resistance, "It's the honeycomb poked by Tie Dan and the scorpion, it has nothing to do with me, I was there at the time"

"You're shitting, aren't you? Go to the old woods on the northern slope to look for a hornet's nest to shit. Did you shit on a tree? And ask the children to lie for you."

Sister Cui blushed all over her face, reddening to the root of her hair.

I!
Li Hongbing opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say.

Although it was Tie Dan and Scarlet who poked the honeycomb by themselves, the matter really started because of themselves. If the poaching of the hornet's nest was not mentioned, the subsequent series of things would not have happened.

A lie needs countless lies to cover up, and the lie will eventually be exposed.

If you make a mistake, you must be punished, and if you are beaten, you must stand at attention.

Li Hongbing stood up and said sincerely.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't take the children to dangerous places, and I shouldn't let the children lie, let alone you, and set a bad example for Anna."

Hearing that Li Hongbing took the initiative to admit his mistake, most of Sister Cui's anger dissipated.

snorted coldly.

"Find a way to remedy it yourself."

After speaking, she dragged Shan Xing into the room, but Anna walked timidly beside Li Hongbing, her chubby face was full of fear.

"Papa, Anna did something wrong, she shouldn't have told Teacher Cui that Papa took us to poke a hornet's nest."

Li Hongbing leaned over to pick up his daughter, and said affectionately, "You did the right thing. Dad did the wrong thing. We shouldn't lie and deceive people. We must be honest people."

Anna nodded half understanding.

The sun goes down and night comes on.

Li Hongbing sorted out more than a dozen condolence items, including a piece of bacon, twenty eggs, a pack of bee kernels, and a hundred-yuan red envelope.

The gift rack is on Heifeng's back.

"Fuck, I want to go too." Anna hugged Li Hongbing's thigh, coquettishly said.

"go!"

Anyway, I didn't have a meal for myself at night, so I might as well go to the village to have a meal.

Li Hongbing picked up his daughter, put her on the horse, and led Heifeng out of the old house.

The window of the room was secretly opened a crack, and the two women in the room watched the father and daughter leave.

"Sister, Brother Hongbing hasn't eaten yet!" Shan Xing looked worried.

Sister Cui pointed Shan Xing with her hand, and said bitterly, "You! If you don't deal with him properly, his tail will almost go up to the sky."

"This time, treat her well. I can tell you that you are not allowed to cook or wash clothes for him for three days."

"Three days, so long!" Shan Xing said softly.

Sister Cui made a final decision, "That's it, I'm right."

The first one is Xiaobudian's.

Xiaobudian's parents both work in other places and live with his grandfather in Caogou Village.

When Li Hongbing came to visit and brought out gifts and red envelopes, Uncle Haigen said he would not accept anything.

Whose child has never been stung by a bee, it would be too much to receive a gift.

After giving way several times, Li Hongbing finally accepted the things under Li Hongbing's ruthlessness.

The same is true of other children's families.

Finally, it was Tie Dan's house. Grandpa Tie Dan accepted the gift with a smile, pulled Tie Dan with swollen eyes and mouth out of the house, and suddenly slapped his grandson on the head.

"When will you poke bee bags next time, but remember to call Tiedan, remember that there are many hornets in the old mother's desert."

This one.

Don't worry about selling cubs!

The grandson was stung like this, and he still let it go. His heart is not so big. No wonder Tie Dan has been out of shape all day long. It is a sin of genetics.

Li Hongbing retreated with his daughter.

After having a meal at Da Kui's house, the father and daughter returned home, Shan Xing and Sister Cui's room door was closed, and they sneaked into the room to rest resentfully.

The next morning.

A black shadow quickly passed over the roof of the old house at low altitude, followed by a small shadow, flapping its wings vigorously to catch up.

The great white cockatoo rarely crowed, and shivered and cursed while hiding in the chicken shed with the jute chicken.

Damn, that guy can fly.

The days ahead will be tough.

Without the crowing of the parrot, the people in the house felt a little uncomfortable.

In his sleep, Li Hongbing felt something pressing on his body.

He opened his eyes and saw his daughter playing with the princess on the bed.

"Stop messing around, my old bones will be crushed by you two sooner or later."

Seeing that Li Hongbing had woken up, Anna got into the bed laughing and hugging Li Hongbing and kissed him on the face.

"You don't grow old when you lie down."

"Little clever ghost, you have nothing to do to be courteous, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Anna leaned close to Li Hongbing's ear and said mysteriously.

"Fuck, Anna wants to treat people like Dad."

brush!
Li Hongbing's eyes lit up.

Originally, I planned to follow fate and not force my daughter to study medicine. Anyway, I am still young, and I will pass on the Li family's medical skills when I find a suitable heir.

Unexpectedly, when the magpie screamed, the daughter would offer to study medicine.

Li Hongbing sat up and looked at his daughter seriously.

"Decided? Studying medicine is very hard. You have to read a lot of books, climb very high mountains, and sometimes encounter snakes, wasps, centipedes, and big tigers."

Anna hesitated for a moment, then nodded resolutely with her small face.

"I'm not afraid, I want to study medicine, treat people like Papa, and help people."

"Okay! Dad will teach you." Li Hongbing smiled gratifiedly, and picked up his daughter, "Daddy will entrust you with all the medical skills, and you will be Dr. Li from now on."

It is rare that Li Hongbing did not do morning exercises in the morning.

He led Anna into the study.

His abnormal behavior caused Shan Xing to be puzzled, thinking that he made the Red Soldier unhappy last night, so he guarded the door of the main room anxiously, and even Sister Cui began to examine whether she did too much last night.

Not to mention the blind man and the idiot, the two secretly looked into the study room while they were working.

"Haha, Anna is awesome."

A burst of hearty laughter came from the study on the second floor.

Then footsteps sounded.

Li Hongbing came out with several thick medical books, followed by Anna with a sweet smile.

"Brother Red Soldier...I..."

As soon as Shan Xing spoke, she was forced to interrupt by Li Hongbing who couldn't wait to share her joy.

"Myolie, Anna wants to study medicine. Old Li's medical skills have been passed down to others. Quickly cook two dishes, and I want a drink."

Shan Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately became happy for Li Hongbing. After all, the Li family's medical skills are well-known in the forest area. Anna's willingness to study medicine can be regarded as inheriting her father's career, and the old Li family has successors.

As for Sister Cui who said that she was not allowed to cook for three days, she was left behind last night.

"I'll do it now."

Sister Cui curled her lips, "What kind of wine do you drink in the morning?"

After speaking, he went into the kitchen to help.

Li Hongbing took Anna to the old oak tree, took out three medical books and handed them to his daughter.

"Anna, in our old Li's family, your grandfather is the first generation of doctors, I am the second generation, and now you are the third generation. You don't need to understand these books, but you must memorize them until you know them well. "

"These three medical books are Binhu Pulse Science, Medicine Nature Fu, and Tangtou Gejue, which are the roots of our ancient Chinese medicine. Those who study medicine should focus on the principles of yin and yang and five elements of tomorrow, the beginning of the day and the discord, and the people's illness. The reason is also."

Anna took the three medical books with half understanding.

Li Hongbing picked up the last medical book.

"This Shennong's Herbal Classic is a branch of ancient Chinese medicine. There are 120 kinds of medicines in the book, which are for the monarch, and they are responsible for nourishing life and responding to the sky. Seeds, as assistants, envoys, mainly to cure diseases, to respond to the land. You also have to memorize it backwards."

Anna took the medical book with a bitter face.

"Fuck, I don't know how to read.

Li Hongbing scratched his daughter's head.

"It's okay, tell Dad about the words you don't know. From today on, I will accompany Dad to the infirmary for treatment in the morning, and go to school in the afternoon."

"it is good!"
