Reborn Doctor

Chapter 17

"No!" Kou Tong shook his head: "I learned medical skills from Master, but I haven't passed the examination yet, and I haven't formally joined Master's sect yet, so I don't count as a formal apprentice."

Although Kou Tong didn't know why Liu Da asked such a question, he still told the truth.

"Oh!" Liu Da was slightly disappointed.

He was silent for a while and said: "Then can you help me ask the old genius doctor if he still accepts apprentices?"

Kou Tong was startled: "You want to study medicine?"

"Yes!" Liu Da blushed slightly: "Yes, I have been very interested in medical skills since I was a child, and I want to study medicine!"

"Oh!" Kou Tong suddenly realized and didn't speak. After a while, she asked, "But Mr. Liu wants you to pass the imperial examination and take the first prize. Does Mr. Liu know about your plan to study medicine?"

After listening to Kou Tong's words, Liu Da's originally excited face became a little uncomfortable: "My father doesn't know yet!"

Master Liu doesn't know now that learning medical skills is only Liu Da's own idea.

From Kou Tong's point of view, Mr. Liu wanted Liu Da to take the imperial examination and get ahead.If Mr. Liu knew that Liu Da wanted to study medicine, he might not only not approve of it, but would strongly oppose it!
If I introduce Liu Da to the old man, no matter whether the old man accepts Liu Da or not, if Master Liu finds out about this matter, it will not be a good thing for me and my mother.

They were not from Fanshui Town, they took refuge here, they were unfamiliar with the place, and they rented the house of Mr. Liu.If you offend Mr. Liu, it's not a joke.

After a while, Kou Tong had already figured out the key point in the middle, and she said in embarrassment: "Liu Da, let me tell you the truth, Master is going out to visit friends now, and I don't know when he will come back. If Master accepts disciples, he must Only with the consent of the disciple's family, without Master Liu's words, Master will definitely not accept you! Master is a foreigner after all, if there is any quarrel with Master Liu, I'm afraid I can only leave Fanshui Town!"

After hearing this, Liu Da lowered his head and remained silent. After a long time, he raised his head: "Tong Niang, trust me, I will convince my father to let me study medicine!"

"I believe in you! In fact, there is nothing wrong with taking the imperial examination route..."

Before Kou Tong finished speaking, Liu Da interrupted him: "Tong Niang, you are just like others! Others say how good it is to take the imperial examination, but as far as I am concerned, I just want to study medicine!"

He grabbed Kou Tong's book on the table and said, "Look at you, it's fine for a girl to learn needlework, so why do you still read these medical books? I know you are very obsessed with medical skills, do you know that I It's the same thing as yours, others can say that, but you can't!"

Liu Da sat back on the chair again: "When you were studying medical books, I was also reading them. The difference is that you are aboveboard, and I am sneaky!"

What Liu Da said made Kou Tong deep in thought!
She thought of her father!The same is true of her father, who went from the road of imperial examination to the road of studying medicine.The same is true for herself, studying medicine has opened up a new sky for her.

"As long as you can convince Master Liu, I will help you speak in front of Master!" Kou Tong looked at the young man in front of him, and blurted out the promise.

Liu Da suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and he looked at Kou Tong gratefully: "Thank you, Tong Niang!"

In the end, Liu Da failed to convince Landlord Liu, so Landlord Liu locked him up. A few days later, Da Liu obediently obeyed Landlord Liu and returned to his teacher to continue studying.

After Kou Tong learned about it, he sighed for a long time, and thought for a while that instead of worrying about others, he should take notes quickly.Once she picked up the pen, she would forget about those things.

A few days later, the old man came back from visiting friends, and Kou Tong resumed his previous days of studying medicine early in the morning.

Su's new clothes for Kou Tong are already ready, Kou Tong is in a very good mood after putting on the new clothes, as usual, he walked towards Xiao Ranpo.

The weather on this day was very good, the sky was clear and blue.The warm sun shines on the body, making it warm and comfortable.The sunshine coated the houses in the town with a layer of warm colors, the small trees in the streets and alleys sprouted green branches, and the grass in the corners swayed in the spring breeze.

A few blue swallows were flying around above Kou Tong's head, busy building their nests!

The apricot and peach groves on the small gentle slope are in full bloom, some are red and some are pink.In addition to flowers, there is also a carpet made of green grass.With bright flowers, it looks like there are many colorful clouds floating on the green lake, very beautiful!

It's so beautiful!

Kou Tong couldn't help thinking that in her memory, there had never been such a beautiful place.It can be seen how monotonous my previous life was.

After all, this life is different. Medical skills have opened up a new world for her.

Kou Tong took a full breath of the fresh morning air, and walked towards the small gentle slope like a tapestry full of energy.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the gentle slope, she met the old man, Zimo, and a woman with a worried expression!

"Master, is this going to a doctor?" Kou Tong asked with the excitement in his heart when he saw the old man carrying his rosewood medicine box on his back.

"Yes!" The old man said, pointing to the woman, "This is Zhang Xiucai's wife. There is a patient in her family who needs to be treated. I wanted to call you at your house, but I didn't expect to meet you here, girl, you Just go with us!"

"Yes!" Kou Tong said, hurriedly stepped forward, and took the medicine box from the old man's shoulder: "Master, let me come!"

The old man walked forward with a smile, but refused: "You are young and weak, and you are still growing. Heavy objects weigh on you, so you will not grow taller!"

"No! I will grow taller, and Master's medicine box is not heavy, so I can carry it! I will be a doctor in the future, and I will make outpatient visits by myself. At that time, don't I have to carry the medicine box? If master recites it, it should be regarded as practice in advance!"

The old man was very pleased: "Okay! Then you carry it!"

Kou Tong took the medicine box from the old man's shoulder, carried it on his back, and walked forward behind the old man and the woman.

She was very happy in her heart, because she found that no matter what she wanted to do, as long as she said that she would see a doctor in the future, the old man would not refuse her.Master, you are really a good master and a good doctor. What I want to learn from master is not only medical skills, but also medical ethics!
She thought happily!

But Zimo's sarcasm sounded in his ear: "Sycophant!"

Kou Tong looked at Zimo, and saw him looking at Kou Tong with disdain. Kou Tong remembered the last time he saw Mrs. Liu, Zimo also said that he would help Master carry the medicine box, but was rejected by Master.

She immediately understood why Zimo said that, she smiled, and immediately retorted: "I'm afraid that if someone wants to take a picture, they won't be able to do it!"

"What did you say?" Zimo glared.

Kou Tong was not afraid of him, ignoring his anger: "If you can't eat grapes, call them sour!"

"you……."

"What are you talking about?" the old man asked.

Kou Tong said first: "Zimo said he also wants to carry this medicine box!"

"En!" The old man nodded and said, "Then let him recite it for a while! You two will take turns to recite it, so you won't be too tired!"

"Yes!" Kou Tong replied cheerfully.

She glanced at Zimo provocatively, and smiled triumphantly: "Zimo, it's your turn to memorize it!"

Zimo glanced at Kou Tong, and reluctantly took the medicine box, his face as black as coal.

Kou Tong smiled slightly: Who told you to always bully me!Let me tell you, I'm not easy to bully!
A group of people followed the woman to the gate of a courtyard facing south and facing north at the south end of the town, and saw the four characters "Xiangyang Academy" written on the gate of the courtyard!As soon as I stood still at the door, I heard the sound of a child reading aloud inside.

It turned out that this academy was run by Zhang Xiucai, who failed in the imperial examination. Zhang Xiucai took the imperial examination many times, but always failed. Finally, at the age of 35, he decided not to take the scientific examination, and returned to Fanshui Town to open an academy. Enlighten school-age children in several nearby towns.

It was Zhang Xiucai's wife who came to invite the old man to see him, and the sick person was not Zhang Xiucai, but Zhang Xiaolang, Zhang Xiucai's son.

Mrs. Xiucai led Kou Tong and his party into the courtyard. The courtyard was quite large. There were three tile-roofed houses, one bright and two dark.

The courtyard is covered with blue bricks, the aisle is paved with bluestone slabs, and a small piece of bamboo is planted in the courtyard, bringing a touch of fresh green to the courtyard.Coupled with the sound of books, this is very different from the rural houses that Kou Tong saw in the past.

She couldn't help looking around, and when passing the courtyard, Kou Tong saw rows of immature students sitting in the classroom, shaking their heads and reading.A middle-aged man in a duck-blue cross-neck gown was walking back and forth among the students with his hands behind his back.He smoothed his goatee with his hands from time to time, with a pedantic look.

Needless to say, this must be Zhang Xiucai!

Seeing that Master and Zimo had entered the room on the left with Mrs. Xiucai, Kou Tong hurriedly followed.As soon as you enter the room, you feel uncomfortable, the light is very dark, and it has already entered spring, but the curtains and door curtains in this room are still the thick style with quilting in winter.Not only that, Kou Tong also smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"It's too dark here!" said the old man.

Mrs. Xiucai hurriedly said: "This child Zhang Lian has suffered from a bit of cold and dare not see the wind, so he has no way to lift the curtain. You sit first, and I will light the lamp right away!"

"No need!" The old man stopped her: "Open the curtains and windows!"

"This..." The scholar lady hesitated, "I'm afraid it's not good for Zhang Lian's health...."

"What are you standing there for?" Zhang Xiucai didn't know when he came in. He was very dissatisfied with his wife's hesitation: "You Cong is already sick like this, what are you still worried about? After listening to Dr. You haven't seen any improvement, and finally invited a miracle doctor, you should listen to the miracle doctor!"
