Chapter 57 “Ah Yue, are you chanting a spell?”……

Chapter 57 “Ah Yue, are you chanting a spell?”……

Shen Lai wanting to learn martial arts caused quite a stir in the Shen family.

Xu Youfang was the first to disagree.

“Are you bewitched, child? You’re already mischievous and can’t handle housework. If you learn martial arts, you’ll be crying when no one wants to marry you!”

The family is not what it used to be. If it were before, Xu Youfang would have sent Shen Lai, not only to learn martial arts, but even to blacksmithing if that’s what he wanted.

Back then, the family had power and influence, not afraid that their children would have trouble finding a partner, or that they would be secretly ridiculed for knowing such things.

Women and “ge’er” have it hard enough already, it’s like whatever they do is wrong.

The feeling of being judged is unbearable, it’s like being cut with a dull knife, painfully torturous.

Xu Youfang really wanted to do everything she could to spare her child from suffering grievances.

Shen Lai is stubborn, and it’s hard to change his mind once he’s decided.

This time, even when Xu Youfang picked up the broom, Shen Lai stood still, closing his eyes and waiting to be hit.

Hit me, hit me, anyway, I’m still going to learn martial arts after you’re done hitting me.

Knowing that the child was serious, Xu Youfang angrily threw down the broom and didn’t come out for dinner all day.

Shen Lai went hungry with her, sitting like a guardian deity at the door of the west room.

The mother and son argued for a whole day, and in the end, the mother relented first.

She lifted the door curtain and saw the person hugging their legs and sleeping on the ground. She sighed helplessly, lit an oil lamp late at night, kneaded the dough, and rolled out noodles, making Shen Lai his favorite noodles.

With Xu Youfang’s tacit approval, no one else in the family objected to Shen Lai learning martial arts.

Every day, she watched Shen Lai with a bruised and swollen face, and when Shen Lai was asleep, she would lift his clothes to check, and his body was also covered with bruises.

Her heart ached, but there was nothing she could do.

The whole family thought that Shen Lai wouldn’t be able to last long. He had always been someone who was quick to like things and quick to lose interest.

Xu Youfang also hoped that he would quickly lose interest in learning martial arts, but Shen Lai stubbornly persevered.

Shen Lai spent the entire summer in soreness.

But his physique did indeed become stronger. His appetite increased every day, his pale skin slowly turned wheat-colored, and he developed definition in his arms and abdomen.

U Xue would follow Shen Lai around the foot of the mountain every day, its size also growing rapidly, and it also learned basic coordinated attacks.

Shen Hui trained diligently, and both the person and the dog underwent great changes.

He didn’t neglect his own studies either. Every day after finishing his stall, he would come back to teach Shen Lai and train the dog, and after finishing that, he would read.

Every other day, he would visit Wang Juan, and every three days, he would go up the mountain to get banana leaves, and check if there was anything in the traps, so he could eat his fill.

In September, the scorching weather finally ended, the autumn wind rose, and the weather turned cool.

The countryside was filled with autumn colors, golden like a painting.

The tiring autumn harvest ended, and they waited for the people from the government to come to collect taxes.

At the beginning of the year, the Shen family was still worried about not being able to pay the poll tax this year, fearing that they would have to work on road repairs to offset the tax.

Unexpectedly, not only did they not have to repair roads, but after paying the tax, there was still a lot of surplus.

Ling Xing didn’t know how much the family had, but over the past few months, after deducting daily expenses and Ling Yue’s medicine money, he had saved forty taels of silver.

That was more than enough to rent a shop in town.

While Ling Xing was considering the matter of the shop, Shen Chengshan and Xu Youfang were also considering building a house for the family.

Counting Xu Youfang’s earnings over the past few months, plus what Ling Xing had given to the family to supplement their income, and the output from the fields, they had a total of fifty taels of silver.

A piece of bluestone brick costs five copper coins. If they wanted the walls to be sturdy, warm in the winter and cool in the summer, the walls would have to be thicker, which would mean more bricks. The wood used for the roof beams, if they chose a good kind, would also cost more than ten taels of silver.

There were many people in the family. Not counting building the courtyard walls, just the house itself would require more than sixty thousand bricks. Buying bricks alone would cost thirty taels of silver. Including the courtyard walls, roof beams, and tiles, it would cost a total of sixty to seventy taels.

Xu Youfang estimated that they could start construction before the new year, which was a few months earlier than they had originally planned for the spring of next year, but they certainly couldn’t spend all the money at once.

If only she could earn a little more each month.

Building a house required contacting people in advance. After the busy farming season, Shen Chengshan took a few taels of meat to the village chief’s house.

He asked the village chief to help find people to build the house, paying them twenty copper coins a day, but including three meals, and guaranteeing meat for two meals.

He didn’t have any other requirements for the workers, except that they had to be diligent and not lazy or deceitful.

Generally, families provide two meals, but the Shen family provided three, which was a rare and generous offer.

The work was right at their doorstep, and they didn’t have to get up early and travel in the dark. After the news spread, many people responded.

The Shen family rarely asked Zhu Rushan for help, but this time, Zhu Rushan kept his eyes peeled to help the Shen family select people.

In less than a year, they were going to build a big house. He heard that Shen Erlang and the Ling family’s younger brother were both studying to take the imperial examinations. He didn’t know what the Shen family would develop into in the future.

While he was still useful, he had to help them well.

Shen Chengshan also went to the brick factory to order bricks. These had to be ordered in advance, and there was a set number.

There were many people building houses before the new year, and the brick factory was very busy.

If Shen Chengshan had come a few days later, he wouldn’t have been able to build.

The house was scheduled to be torn down in mid-September, and the foundation rebuilt. Otherwise, it would be difficult to build when the weather got cold.

Xu Youfang worked even harder every day to make velvet flowers, hoping to earn more money.

Seeing that she was starting to rub her eyes from time to time, Ling Xing suggested, “Mother, why don’t we ask Third Sister to help you?”

The velvet flower business hadn’t been making money for their family for long, so they naturally wouldn’t give it to outsiders to do. But giving it to their own daughter was definitely something they could trust.

Xu Youfang was overjoyed. She had actually thought about it for a long time, but she didn’t want to mention it to Ling Xing.

The idea was Ling Xing’s. Although she took the lion’s share of the earnings, she wouldn’t teach the craft without Ling Xing’s approval.

“If you agree, I have no problem.”

Only then did Ling Xing realize that Xu Youfang considered this craft to be his.

“Mother, this craft isn’t mine. I just happened to see it before and mentioned it. You researched how to do it specifically. Later, you can teach whoever you want, you don’t have to ask me.”

Xu Youfang’s heart warmed, and she responded with a smile.

Her third daughter had learned embroidery with her for a while when she was young. Although she wasn’t very good, it was better than someone with no experience.

If it didn’t work out, she could have her trim the flower petals, and she would do the final ironing and assembly herself.

That would also save a lot of time and allow her to make more.

If her daughter came to help, she could also give her some money, so she would have money in hand and could live a better life.

Thinking of this, Xu Youfang sighed softly again.

When her grandson was born in June, she and her husband went up the mountain with a pile of things. Seeing how thin and weak her daughter looked, their hearts ached so much that they could hardly breathe.

They didn’t have to worry about not having food on the mountain, but it was hard to eat their fill.

There were many sons in the Zhao family, and many ways to make a living, but they also ate a lot.

They were all as tall and strong as her Second Son, which showed how much they had to eat every day.

If her Second Son didn’t go up the mountain to fill his stomach on his own, and only ate at home, then the family would have been eaten broke long ago.

But the Zhao family’s sons had to eat, they had to fight with prey, and without strength, how could they fight?

In this way, they could only focus on feeding the men, and then the children. If the children didn’t eat, their small bodies couldn’t take it, and it would be difficult to raise them. Finally, the women in the family would eat.

Even so, the Zhao family’s children were still skinny. Not to mention the women, her in-law was even thinner than her daughter. She watched her and was afraid that she would be blown away by a small gust of wind.

If there are many people and little food, that’s how it will be, there’s no way around it.

They hadn’t abandoned their children, and hadn’t let anyone in the family really starve to death, which was already rare for a family in the mountains.

The third son-in-law was also good. When her Yan’er was pregnant, he would save some food and secretly leave it for Yan’er to eat.

Because of this, the child was born safely, and mother and son were safe.

Thinking of her daughter eating boiled eggs with tears streaming down her face, saying how delicious they were, Xu Youfang sniffed.

“Ling Xing, I really thank you.”

Suddenly thanking him so solemnly, Ling Xing involuntarily straightened his body.

He only remembered that Shen Gui was planning to go to the mountains when he was about to leave.

“By the way, Mother, didn’t you say before that you wanted the Zhao family to help with pickling vegetables? After the weather gets cold, they won’t be able to hunt, and they won’t be farming. The Zhao family will be free to help with pickling vegetables. Fourth Brother is preparing to go to the mountains, should we have him bring Third Sister down directly?”

Ling Xing had discussed the pickling vegetable matter with Shen Gui before. He wanted to pickle a lot of vegetables this winter, and after the spring, Shen Gui could also rent a stall to sell them.

At that time, Ling Xing happened to have rented a shop, and they could put the pickles in the shop at night.

More sales meant more money, and Shen Gui was watching his two children grow up day by day, and there were many places to spend money.

He also wanted to buy more clothes, shoes, and delicious food for his wife and children, and these all cost money.

Seeing that Shen Gui was eager to do it, Ling Xing entrusted him with the responsibility of pickling vegetables, and gave him an extra share of the profits.

He only provided the recipe, and the profits were split fifty-fifty.

The more they made, the more raw materials they needed. The ones grown in the family’s fields weren’t enough, and they needed to collect them from the village.

These all required manpower.

Shen Gui was thinking of going to the mountains these two days to talk to the Zhao family.

Xu Youfang thought for a moment and said, “When is he going? I’ll go with him.”

It definitely wouldn’t work to bring her down directly, letting Shen Yan come here required the Zhao family’s elders to agree.

Young people couldn’t discuss this matter, the elders of the family had to come forward.

Ling Xing said he was leaving tomorrow, and Xu Youfang nodded in agreement.

“You messed it up yourself, why are you coming to my house to complain!”

Shen Lai’s sharp cry came from outside, causing Xu Youfang to pause. “Let’s go, let’s go see.”

In the courtyard, Shen Lai was holding a ceramic bowl filled with chicken feed, which was full of small insects that he had taken U Xue out to catch.

Besides Shen Lai and Shen Hui, no one in the family dared to look at the ceramic bowl.

However, because of these insects, the chickens in the family grew fat and strong, providing the family with two eggs every day.

After accumulating for a few days, Xu Youfang would make a meal and let the family eat eggs to replenish their bodies.

At this time, the small insects in the ceramic bowl had not been completely fed, and they were wriggling inside.

Ling Xing was afraid of those soft things, and stood a few steps away.

The two people at the door were familiar faces, it was Sun the doctor from the neighboring village and his young apprentice Zhu Xiaohai.

Xu Youfang immediately saw that Zhu Xiaohai had an injury at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were red, it was obvious that he had cried.

Looking at her son Shen Xiao Wu, he had one hand on his hip and was holding the ceramic bowl in the other, staring at Zhu Xiaohai with the momentum of a rainbow.

“Are you causing trouble again!” Xu Youfang stepped forward and hit Shen Lai’s back lightly. Before he could yell, she pulled him back. “Don’t shout!”

Shen Lai felt wronged.

He turned his head and snorted heavily.

“Mother, you’re wronging me again!”

Xu Youfang glanced at Sun the doctor, seeing that the other person’s expression wasn’t very good, she didn’t care whether Shen Lai had been wronged or not, and gave him another light pat on the back.

“Still talking!”

Sun the doctor was the only doctor in the area, and he could save lives. Ling Yue’s head was injured like that before, and Sun the doctor saved him.

Xu Youfang couldn’t afford to offend anyone, especially not Sun the doctor.

Now that Sun the doctor was bringing his apprentice over with an unhappy look, it was obvious that he was looking for trouble for his beloved apprentice.

She made up her mind that even if Shen Lai suffered a loss and was wronged, she couldn’t let Sun the doctor be unhappy.

Shen Lai took two pats, but they didn’t hurt at all.

But he couldn’t stand the frustration in his heart. He walked away holding the ceramic bowl, and when he saw Ling Xing in the distance, he ran over aggrievedly, seeking comfort.

Ling Xing stared at the ceramic bowl, his face turning pale.

Don’t come over here!

Just as Shen Lai was about to reach his side, his vision was suddenly blocked by a shadow.

Shen Hui didn’t know when he had stood behind Ling Xing. Knowing that he was afraid of insects, he raised his foot and blocked Ling Xing in time.

Shen Lai bumped into his hard Second Brother, covering his head and muttering, “Second Brother, what are you doing, suddenly rushing out.”

He wanted to yell a few more words, but Shen Hui gave him a glare, and he straightened his back, standing obediently in place.

This was his instinctive reaction that had been trained over these days.

He didn’t dare to resist Shen Hui at all.

“Either you stand further away, or you put down what’s in your hand.”

Shen Lai said “oh” and put the ceramic bowl in a farther place. When he came back, he saw that the Second Brother, who was acting as a wall, had finally moved, allowing him to approach his “ge’er” husband.

Xu Youfang had been trying to persuade Sun the doctor not to be angry. Seeing that the other person’s expression had eased slightly, she asked, “I don’t know what my Xiao Wu did?”

Mentioning this made Sun the doctor angry, and he pointed at Shen Lai, his fingers trembling. “Your ‘ge’er’ is really lawless, running to my courtyard all day long!”

“Ah?”

Xu Youfang was stunned for a moment, it wasn’t about hitting someone?

In Sun the doctor’s angry roar, the Shen family and Ling Xing finally knew what was going on.

Shen Lai, starting from some unknown time, would lie on the wall of Sun the doctor’s house, watching Sun the doctor teach Zhu Xiaohai how to identify and dry medicinal herbs.

Sun the doctor had actually discovered him the first day he went to peek.

But he didn’t think that a little “ge’er” could really learn anything. Also, he couldn’t see clearly from some distance, so he didn’t take it to heart.

Shen Lai really couldn’t see very clearly, but he could remember the location.

Sun the doctor’s courtyard was open at all times, except at night when the gate was closed.

He would pinpoint the time when Sun the doctor went into the house, enter the courtyard, and carefully look at the medicinal herbs according to the location he had remembered.

Zhu Xiaohai, like his master, didn’t take Shen Lai seriously at all.

Because he was the real apprentice, Zhu Xiaohai would always look down on Shen Lai, using only his chin to look at him.

There was no one else nearby who was proficient in medicine and could identify medicinal herbs. Shen Lai really wanted to learn, so he pretended not to see Zhu Xiaohai’s always high and mighty, disdainful look.

Sun the doctor didn’t take Shen Lai seriously, which allowed Shen Lai to take advantage of the loophole.

Except for rainy days, he would go to Sun the doctor’s place without fail every day.

Sometimes he would run into Sun the doctor who was lecturing Zhu Xiaohai, and Shen Lai could also listen in on a few words. Most of the time he didn’t run into it, so he would go to the courtyard to look at the medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lai, learning in this piecemeal way, had actually recognized some medicinal herbs.

When Shen Lai went there this morning, Zhu Xiaohai was sorting and drying the medicinal herbs.

Just when he put a medicinal herb in the same type of pile, Shen Lai suddenly jumped out and took the medicinal herb away.

“This is not seven-lobed leaf at all, how can you put it in seven-lobed leaf?”

Zhu Xiaohai usually felt that Shen Lai was like a fly, always turning around beside him, which was already annoying enough.

Today, not only did he turn around, but he also interfered with him, criticizing him for making a mistake. Zhu Xiaohai exploded directly.

What could a little “ge’er” who had only seen some medicinal herbs understand!

He glared at Shen Lai and reached out to grab the medicinal herb. “How is this not seven-lobed leaf? This is seven-lobed leaf! Do I not understand better than you?”

Shen Lai could feel Zhu Xiaohai’s disdain and contempt. He dodged left and right, pointing at the medicinal herb in his hand.

“You look carefully, the vein of the seven-lobed leaf is very chaotic, but the vein of this leaf is chaotic but orderly, and there are small serrations on the edge. This is clearly seven-toothed leaf!”

He became more and more angry as he spoke. “Sun the doctor emphasized the difference between the two with you not long ago. Even if you forgot, there is a pile of seven-lobed leaves in front of you. As long as you look carefully and compare them well, you can see the subtle difference.”

Shen Lai wasn’t angry that Zhu Xiaohai looked down on him, nor was he angry that Zhu Xiaohai had mistaken the medicinal herb.

He was angry that Zhu Xiaohai wasn’t serious and careful.

He could obviously see the difference, he obviously had a pile of comparisons, as long as he put his heart into it, this kind of mistake wouldn’t happen.

Following Shen Lai’s words, Zhu Xiaohai looked at the medicinal herb and it was indeed as he said, it wasn’t seven-lobed leaf, but seven-toothed leaf.

These two medicinal herbs looked very similar, and it was difficult to see the difference without careful distinction, but their medicinal effects were completely different.

Zhu Xiaohai’s face turned red instantly, full of shame and annoyance.

Just like Shen Lai said, the master had repeatedly emphasized and emphasized it not long ago, but he had forgotten it today.

He almost made a mistake even with a pile of seven-lobed leaves as a reference.

Shen Lai returned the medicinal herb to Zhu Xiaohai and reminded casually, “Don’t make any more mistakes in the future, look more carefully.”

It was a great taboo for medical practitioners to be so careless.

In the end, only the patients would suffer.

In Shen Lai’s view, it was just a reminder, but Zhu Xiaohai found it extremely harsh, simply poking his lungs.

Zhu Xiaohai was ashamed and angry, and roared at Shen Lai, “Do you need a ‘ge’er’ to point fingers at me here? Do I need you to teach me how to do things?”

As he spoke, Zhu Xiaohai pounced on Shen Lai, hitting Shen Lai’s abdomen with his head.

Shen Lai had followed Shen Hui to learn martial arts for several months, and his reaction and speed were very agile and fast.

He moved his feet, and his body moved to the side. Zhu Xiaohai rushed out directly, hitting the wooden shelf.

After a burst of crackling sounds, the bamboo winnowing basket with medicinal herbs on the shelf fell to the ground.

The medicinal herbs were scattered all over the ground, and a few plants were still draped over Zhu Xiaohai’s head.

“What’s going on?”

Sun the doctor’s voice rang from the house. Zhu Xiaohai directly reversed the truth and shouted, “Master! Shen Lai is bullying me!”

Hearing the sound, Sun the doctor hurried out, and immediately saw that the medicinal herbs he had worked so hard to collect had fallen to the ground.

The winnowing baskets were scattered around, and his little apprentice was in a pile of scattered medicinal herbs, with medicinal herbs draped over his body and head.

Shen Lai, on the other hand, was standing cleanly in one place.

Watching Sun the doctor’s expression change from calm to angry, Shen Lai quickly said, “I didn’t bully him, I was reminding him that he put the medicinal herb in the wrong place.”

“He confused seven-lobed leaf and seven-toothed leaf. I reminded him not to make any more mistakes. As a result, he wanted to pounce on me. I just dodged, it was he himself who accidentally bumped into the herb shelf, what does it have to do with me?”

Zhu Xiaohai had long been stiff on the ground, afraid to move, secretly watching his master’s expression.

Sun the doctor’s expression changed from white to red, and from red to blue.

He gritted his teeth and looked around.

Shen Lai was familiar with this action. His mother always did this when she was looking for something to whip him with.

Shen Lai didn’t dare to stay any longer. These two masters and apprentices were both people who didn’t distinguish between right and wrong.

While Sun the doctor hadn’t found anything yet, Shen Lai ran away, and his speed was so fast that even if U Xue was there, it couldn’t keep up with him.

After Shen Lai left, Sun the doctor asked Zhu Xiaohai to tell the truth.

Zhu Xiaohai didn’t dare to hide it any longer, so he had to tell the whole story.

Sun the doctor’s face turned dark after listening, and he slapped the table, scaring Zhu Xiaohai to kneel on the ground with a plop, not daring to breathe loudly.

Seeing his apprentice being frightened, Sun the doctor rubbed his brow. “Get up, master isn’t blaming you, go clean up the medicinal herbs first.”

Zhu Xiaohai got up suspiciously and hurried to clean up the medicinal herbs.

After he cleaned up, he saw Sun the doctor walking over, saying that he was going to the Shen family to demand an explanation.

Throughout the entire process, Sun the doctor didn’t add fuel to the fire, and told the Shen family the truth.

After listening, Xu Youfang looked at Sun the doctor strangely.

According to what he said, her Xiao Wu didn’t make a mistake.

Not only did he not make a mistake, but he also had merit.

If this medicinal herb was put in the wrong place, and not taken out in the end, and was also given to the patient to eat, it would be fatal!

Even Xu Youfang, who wanted to smooth things over, couldn’t say anything to blame Shen Lai at this moment.

She also didn’t understand what explanation Sun the doctor wanted from her here.

Could it be that she wanted Shen Lai to admit that he was wrong, that he shouldn’t have helped take out the wrong medicinal herb?

Just as she was thinking, Sun the doctor scolded, “It’s simply outrageous! How can a ‘ge’er’ learn medicine? I thought he was just looking casually, I didn’t expect that he had privately learned to identify medicinal herbs! Women and ‘ge’er’ are yin and unlucky, isn’t it unlucky to come into contact with these things!”

Since ancient times, most men studied medicine. If women and ‘ge’er’ learned medicine, they would all learn secretly.

Let alone going out to see patients.

But this rule was broken by a female doctor in the previous dynasty.

No one knew who she learned her medical skills from, they only knew that she was very powerful, and could be called the magic hand that brings back life. She even saved the empress and the unborn child who had been declared dead by the imperial physicians.

It was said that she cut open people’s bellies to take out the child, and then sewed them up. It sounded terrifying, but it did save the lives of the empress and the child.

The child who was saved became the crown prince, and after he ascended the throne, he created a prosperous era.

Unfortunately, none of his descendants were capable, and after he died, the previous dynasty began to decline.

But because of that female doctor, women and ‘ge’er’ had the qualification to learn medicine, and could also open a clinic.

However, after Dayu established the dynasty, several cases of women and ‘ge’er”s medical clinics killing people were spread widely. Everyone said that it was because women and ‘ge’er’ were yin, and were unlucky, and shouldn’t come into contact with things like treating diseases and saving people.

Women and ‘ge’er”s medical clinics closed on a large scale, and now there are only a few in the entire Dayu territory.

These memories were in the original body’s memory. After listening to Sun the doctor’s roar, relevant memories emerged in Ling Xing’s mind.

Regarding the news that women and ‘ge’er’ practicing medicine was unlucky, and the large-scale closure of medical clinics, Ling Xing always felt that it was manipulated.

He didn’t believe the ghosts of luck or bad luck. It must be because it touched the interests of some people, or some people wanted to get something, so they used this kind of rumor to force them.

And the Sun the doctor in front of him, who looked like the sky was falling because Shen Lai recognized two medicinal herbs, also opened Ling Xing’s eyes.

“Sun the doctor, Doctor Pei Yun once announced an acupuncture technique that can reduce the damage to people with head injuries and wake up people in mild comas. This acupuncture technique is available for everyone in the world to learn, and it has benefited many people. It has given a line of life to many people with head injuries.”

“At the beginning, my younger brother injured his head, and later I saw Sun the doctor used acupuncture to give my younger brother needles. I don’t understand medicine, but now that I think about it, the approximate location of the acupuncture is the same as the one announced by Doctor Pei Yun.”

The “Biography of Female Doctor Pei Yun” that the original body had read contained this acupuncture chart.

However, to learn it, you still need to have a certain foundation. It is not just anyone who can do it, but basically all doctors can do it.

Ling Xing asked Sun the doctor, “I wonder if Sun the doctor’s acupuncture technique was learned from Doctor Pei Yun? If so, then Doctor Pei Yun is a female doctor. According to Sun the doctor’s words, is she also unlucky? Then is Sun the doctor, who learned her acupuncture technique, lucky or unlucky?”

Sun the doctor’s face turned black directly.

He couldn’t deny that the acupuncture technique he was proud of and relied on for survival was announced by the female doctor Pei Yun.

“Doctor Pei Yun is different—”

Ling Xing interrupted, “What’s different?”

Sun the doctor gritted his teeth, “Does your family’s ‘ge’er’ have such a big face, can you put him with Doctor Pei Yun to compare?”

Ling Xing held back for a moment, but finally couldn’t hold back.

“You said women and ‘ge’er’ are unlucky, but you were born by a woman or ‘ge’er’.”

Quiet.

A silence like death.

U Xue didn’t wag its tail in this weird atmosphere either.

In this situation, these words were equivalent to publicly discussing how Sun the doctor was born.

If older rural women or “ge’er” said this to Sun the doctor, it would be normal.

The key was that Ling Xing was young, and these words were not suitable for him to say to Sun the doctor.

After Sun the doctor reacted, his face turned red, and he was so angry that he looked like a pig liver.

“You ‘ge’er’ are shameless! Speaking such words in public! Disrespectful to superiors!”

Before Ling Xing could say anything, Shen Hui moved.

“Say that again, who is shameless?”

Sun the doctor looked up at the tall and strong man, his lips wriggling, wanting to speak. But the person’s eyes were too cold, the pressure was extremely strong, and it carried some irresistible ferocity. He shuddered, knowing that if he really opened his mouth to say it again, he would definitely be beaten.

“No, no one.”

Sun the doctor left with Zhu Xiaohai in a panic. He came to the Shen family just to ask the Shen family to discipline Shen Lai, that ‘ge’er’ were unlucky and shouldn’t try to learn medicine.

Who knew that he would be driven out before he could even explain what he wanted to say.

Xu Youfang looked at Sun the doctor’s hurried back and said unhappily to Shen Hui, “Why did you have to scare him? How will we find him to see a doctor if we get sick in the future?”

Shen Hui said indifferently, “His medical skills are just so-so, I’ll go buy a horse tomorrow. It’s faster to go to town with a horse, and it won’t delay time if we really get sick.”

Xu Youfang didn’t say anything else. Today’s Sun the doctor made her feel strange.

She used to think that Sun the doctor was pretty good, but she didn’t expect that he had such deep prejudice against women and “ge’er”.

When it didn’t involve him, he hid it well. When it involved him, he simply changed his face.

Xu Youfang shook her head and sighed, turned her head and saw Shen Lai, who was cowering on the side, trying to reduce his presence.

“Xiao Wu, you run to Sun the doctor’s place every day, have you started thinking about learning medicine again?”

Shen Lai nodded.

“It didn’t just start, it was together with the thought of learning martial arts.”

He was afraid that learning two things at once would make him not learn either of them well, so he first learned martial arts, built a foundation, and then found a way to learn medicine.

Xu Youfang laughed when she heard his thoughts.

He’s quite planned out.

But no matter how planned it was, it was useless. The family didn’t have connections, and Sun the doctor’s attitude was very obvious, Shen Lai’s path to learning medicine could only stop here.

At night, Shen Lai hugged his pillow and cried silently.

I can’t learn medicine, wuwuwuwuwu, I just learned to recognize five medicinal herbs, wuwuwuwuwu……

“Don’t cry, Xiao Wu.”

Shen Lai, who thought he was crying silently, but was actually sobbing and sniffing all the time, froze.

“Wuwu, ‘ge’er’ husband, I’m not crying wuwuwuwuwu——”

Ling Xing was amused by Shen Lai’s weird tone and knew that the child was really sad.

“I know a few medicinal herbs, and your Second Brother also knows some. I’ll tell him to teach you what we know tomorrow.”

His grandfather used to go up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs to sell to subsidize the family when he was young. They were all common ones and easy to recognize.

Later, he would always take him up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs, so he also recognized some.

When he first came to town, Ling Xing saw the medicinal herb stalls, and at that time he was thinking about whether to dig medicinal herbs to sell.

As a result, this plan was put on hold because he was too busy.

In the darkness, Shen Lai’s eyes lit up. “‘Ge’er’ husband, you said that? Then I won’t cry.”

Ling Xing laughed, “Yeah, I said that.”

Ling Yue, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, lying straight on the side, suddenly opened her mouth, “There are two medical books in the bookcase, Xiao Wu, I can teach you to read and read medical books.”

Shen Lai didn’t react.

Ling Yue finished speaking and prepared to sleep beautifully, suddenly there was a weight on her body, Shen Lai reacted to what it meant, and directly pressed over, hugging him and rubbing him.

“Wuwuwuwuwuwu! Ah Yue! You’re so good! So amazing!”

Ling Yue was hugged and opened her eyes with a brush, her face flushed, and she mumbled in a low voice, “Do not look at what is indecent, do not speak of what is indecent, do not…”

“Ah Yue, are you chanting a spell?”

Ling Yue was silent for a moment, “No.”

Ling Xing, who was on the side, heard clearly what Ling Yue was chanting and smiled.

This child was not old, and he had a stomach full of etiquette and dogma.

He would tell Ling Yue tomorrow to let him recite it again when he was seven years old.

For these two years, he should first enjoy a happy, unbridled childhood.

He also had to tell Shen Lai not to always learn from U Xue, his current shouting sounds were so close that he could no longer tell who was the dog.
