Chapter 385: Journey (Part )

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The convoy stopped to rest. After Sun Guangbai got off the carriage, he was choked by the smoke and dust and started coughing continuously.

Shan Xing, who was standing by, came over quickly and reached out to pat Sun Guangbai on the back. Sun Guangbai coughed and dodged quickly: "I'm fine, I'll be fine after a few coughs. Go over there and rest!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Shan Xing's clear black eyes. However, she was used to Sun Guangbai's aloofness, so she nodded and went to Lin Huiniang and the others.

Sun Guangbai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to get married and start a family, so he had to keep his distance from all women to avoid any misunderstandings. Especially Shanxing. It wasn't that he disliked Shanxing's background, but he felt that he was seven or eight years older than Shanxing and couldn't take advantage of a young girl.

Doctor Sun, who was sitting in the carriage, saw this scene and subconsciously glanced at his son.

I really didn't expect that even with such a silly look, there would be girls who like him.

After resting for half an hour, everyone ate some dry food and drank some water, and then the convoy set off again.

Sun Guangbai was sitting in the carriage, with nothing to do, so he looked out to look at the scenery outside the carriage, and sighed from time to time. Doctor Sun was annoyed by his son's noise, and said with a stern face: "It will take about a month to go to Pingzhou. The journey is long, you should find something to do and don't waste time."

"There are medical books in the box, as well as ancient prescriptions for curing the plague compiled by you and your sister. Take a look and memorize the prescriptions."

Sun Guangbai's hair was big. "We are in a hurry. The carriage is bumpy. Reading medical books hurts the eyes and the body... Father, don't stare. I will read the medical book and recite the prescription."

It’s over. Without his sister to make jokes, he didn’t know how much scolding he would have to endure along the way.

Sun Guangbai lamented in his heart and obediently picked up the medical book to read.

Doctor Sun was not idle either. He set up a small table in the carriage and took out a thin charcoal pencil and a bound booklet.

While reciting the prescription, Sun Guangbai secretly glanced at what his father was doing. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is father going to write a medical book?"

Doctor Sun nodded, and without stopping the charcoal pencil in his hand, he carefully drew the shape of a medicinal herb.

Studying medicine is not an easy task. There are only a few top medical families in Daliang, and the medical skills are passed down from generation to generation. If ordinary people want to be doctors, they have to learn from a master, and it is impossible to become a master without more than ten years. The local doctors in the countryside are not good at medicine, but they dare to practice medicine by prescribing a few prescriptions.

There are only a few medical books available on the market.

"I have always wanted to write a medical book," Doctor Sun wrote for half an hour, put down the charcoal pencil and took a break, and said casually: "I used to have a lot of free time in the palace, so I wrote some books. This time I go to Pingzhou, the journey is long, and I have a lot of free time on the road, so I can organize some prescriptions."

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to print out the medical book and spread it. This would be my greatest wish in life."

Sun Guangbai looked back innocently: "If father has such a wish, go back and tell the princess. With the princess' generosity, she will definitely agree. Why are you looking at me like this? I, your son, don't have that much ability."

Doctor Sun's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt itchy.

It's a pity that I left in a hurry and didn't take the family rules with me. Otherwise, I could teach this rebellious son a lesson right now.

Sun Guangbai sensed a long-lost threat from his father's familiar gaze, and smiled flatteringly, "Father must be tired after writing for so long. Why don't you get out of the car and take a walk?"

Doctor Sun nodded slightly and got off the carriage.

At this time, they had not yet left Nanyang County, and the official road was very peaceful. Doctor Sun walked slowly for a while, turned around to talk to his son, and suddenly found that there was no one behind him.

Looking again, Sun Guangbai was chatting and laughing with a few bodyguards in the distance, eating a bowl of braised beef from somewhere with relish.

Doctor Sun was furious. This bastard son had a good meal but didn't think about his father. "Doctor Sun," a soldier said to Sun Guangbai with a smile, "Doctor Sun is looking for you!"

"He's not looking for me, he just wants to scold me again." Sun Guangbai didn't even raise his head, and continued to eat happily: "Don't worry about him, I'll eat this piece of beef first to satisfy my craving."

The guards were all amused and laughed out loud.

Sun Guangbai was a military doctor in the Imperial Guard Battalion. He was easygoing and humorous, and all the soldiers loved to deal with him. Miss Sun was actually better at medicine, but after all, she was a girl, so they couldn't get close to her. If they caught a cold or had some unspeakable symptoms, they would go to Sun Guangbai.

"Doctor Sun is really hungry!" Another soldier smiled and stuffed a small bag of pork jerky over to him. "This is the pork jerky made by Bao Er himself. It's very delicious. Doctor Sun, keep it for your tooth."

Sun Guangbai was not polite. He thanked him and stuffed the money into his arms.

The convoy set off again. Sun Guangbai took out the bag of pork jerky from his arms like offering a treasure and handed it to the stern-faced Doctor Sun respectfully: "This is the pork jerky my soldiers gave me. Father, please have a taste."

Doctor Sun calmed down a bit, took the pork jerky, unwrapped it, tasted a piece, and nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes OK."

Sun Guangbai grinned and said, "As long as father is used to it, it's fine."

A bag of pork jerky can shut up my father, so I can listen to less scolding and be scolded less. It's really worth it. After eating this bag, I will go to the soldiers to ask for some more.

Sun Guangbai had his own plan in mind. He pretended to pick up a medical book and started reading it, humming a little tune in his heart with pride.

Doctor Sun ate two slices of pork jerky and continued to write his medical book. The father and son had a rare peaceful time together.

Unfortunately, this peaceful and good life did not last for a few days. On the fourth day, the strong curses of Dr. Sun could be heard from the carriage from time to time.

"Where did you read all the medical books? I can't remember anything after reading them for two days. Is your brain full of water?"

"I just remembered the wrong auxiliary medicine..."

"When practicing medicine, you must not make mistakes in prescriptions. You must not make mistakes in auxiliary medicines either! Copy this prescription ten times and remember it well. If you do it again, I will break your legs."

"Copying it ten times is too much. How about five times?"

"Twenty times!"

Sun Guangbai had a bitter face and held a pen as he copied the prescription.

The guards outside the carriage all lowered their heads and laughed silently.

Lin Huiniang and others sitting in the carriage at the back also laughed.

"I really can't believe that Imperial Doctor Sun is such a strict father." Lin Hui Niang laughed softly, "He looks quite kind on weekdays, but when he scolds Military Doctor Sun, he is full of energy."

"Isn't it? Military Doctor Sun is also interesting. He is calm and composed in front of others, but when he is in front of Imperial Doctor Sun, he becomes a punching bag and dares not say a word."

The girls were chatting and laughing one after another, but Shan Xing was the only one who said nothing.

When it was time to rest, Shanxing quietly got off the carriage and went to Sun Guangbai's carriage.
