Chapter 128 Elementary School Apprentice

"Xiao Shui, you've been here all this time and you haven't left?" Zuo Mu looked at Xiao Shui and asked in disbelief.

"Oh, yes... did I disturb you?" The little sailor was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and Benzheng was looking intently. He was startled when he saw Zuo Mu's sudden question, and quickly put the paper back in his hand. Go to the desk, stand up, "Xiao Shui... let's go!"

After finishing speaking, Ren began to walk out reluctantly, and finally walked back to the door with three steps, and stopped again.

"Brother Alai, can you lend me these papers for a few days?" Xiao Shui stood there hesitating for a while, and finally couldn't help asking,

"Lend you a few days? Why?" Zuo Mu glanced at the thick stack of his masterpieces these days on the table, and asked casually.

"Brother Amu, don't think too much, Xiao Shui didn't borrow all of it, I just took the few papers I saw just now." Xiao Shui thought that Zuo Mu didn't want to, so he quickly pointed to the few papers on the corner of the desk, and nervously added He said, "And I just borrowed it for three or four days, and I will return it to you soon, and I promise that it will not be wrinkled or damaged at all."

Knowing Xiaoshui for such a long time, Zuo Mu's impression is that she has always been a crazy child who can't grow up. She can even fight with Huzi on weekdays. After thinking about it, this is why he is so nervous every time he sees Xiaoshui. Solemnly.

"Are you interested in the content on these papers?" Zuo Mu asked after a moment of silence.

At this moment, looking at Xiao Shui's expression carefully looking at her, and thinking about her usual behavior, how could Zuo Mu still not understand what was going on.

"Well, Xiao Shui wants to borrow these papers back, copy all the contents on them, and keep them in his mind."

Xiao Shui nodded affirmatively, and quickly explained,
"To be honest, many of the medicinal herbs described above are available in our back mountains, and I have seen them before, but because my brother and my friends don't know them, and they don't know what they are used for, so they are usually There it fends itself like a weed, unheeded.

But, that's all right now, after reading what you wrote, Xiao Shui finally knows their names and uses.In the future, even if anyone in the village suffers from a headache, Xiao Shui can try to make medicine for them by himself, instead of scaring everyone to death like Huzi had a fever last time. On the top of a mountain, I found a barefoot doctor. "

Zuo Mu glanced at the thick stack of papers again, "Actually, these...don't you need to borrow them?"

"Ah..., you still disagree!"

Xiao Shui pouted and was about to cry, but he was not willing to give up easily, after thinking about it, he tried cautiously,

"Then I'll come here and copy it myself every day, okay? Don't worry, I'll just sit here and make no noise, so I won't disturb you."

"No, Xiao Shui, you misunderstood." Seeing Xiao Shui's sad face, Zuo Mu heaved a sigh of relief, and directly picked up the stack of papers and put them in Xiao Shui's hands, "I mean, you don't need to borrow these materials. I can give it all to you."

"Ah..., really...really?" The surprise came so quickly, Xiao Shui was completely dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to confirm in disbelief, "Brother Amu, you really want to give me all these, and you won't be able to do it afterwards. Do you regret it?"

"Really, don't go back on your word! Not only can I give you these, Brother Amu can also personally lead you to the back mountain to find and identify medicinal herbs, so that practice and theory can be concluded, and you can memorize faster."

"Oh my God, brother Amu, you are so kind. You are the best person to me besides my brother." Xiaoshui finally came to his senses, holding the paper in his hand, and cheered in disbelief, "Then I will be Your little apprentice, call you master, okay?"

"Yes, my little apprentice."

So from the second day, Xiao Shui began to study medical knowledge with Zuo Mu inseparably. In order to facilitate her to master the memory, Zuo Mu did what he said, and took her to search for various herbs every day.

However, after Xiaoshui led the way, Zuo Mu also found out strangely that there was indeed a piece of land in the valley like Xiaoshui said, with a large area of ​​herbs growing in it, and looking at the layout and types, Zuo Mu knew that it must have been artificially planted.

However, due to poor management and planting, many medicinal herbs are long gone, and some are even lost to weeds.

"Does anyone here understand this? Why did you give up half of the herbs?" Looking at the medicine garden in front of him, Zuo Mu asked curiously.

"Aniang and the others accidentally mentioned that there seemed to be an old doctor in the village at the beginning, and he led everyone to grow these herbs.

But because he was injured, he was in a bad mood after moving here, and he died within half a year. "

Xiao Shui thought for a while, and confessed honestly,
"Since then, there have been no other doctors in the village, and these herbs have been taken care of carelessly by everyone who thinks they are kind.

Over the years, most of the children in the village, like my elder brother and I, lived by picking herbs for a living, but we all abide by the teachings of our elders: never ask for too much, and keep some for others.

Later, everyone was afraid that if a swarm of bees went to one place to sell medicinal herbs, it would attract the attention of others. The adults held a secret meeting to study and divided the surrounding towns for each household.Longquan Town is where my brothers and sisters buy and sell things.

In order to keep a low profile these years, my brother and I have never dared to go to a big store like Dejitang. We always went to the relatively small Baiyaotang, but we never thought that the shopkeeper of Baiyaotang was so treacherous and deceitful for so long. "

Thinking of what Li shopkeeper of Baiyaotang did that day, Xiao Shui said angrily.

"So, it's very important to look at people. It's true that people are innocent and kind, but you must be careful, don't let bad people take advantage of your simplicity and kindness. You are still young, and you will know when you grow up." Zuo Mu raised his head. Looking at the sky, "The sun is about to set, and you have learned a lot today, let's go back."

"Well, listen to Master." Xiao Shui nodded obediently, and the two made a big circle in the valley, and finally set foot on the road back to the village.

"Your village is obviously full of women and children. I think the houses are neatly built. It must have taken a lot of effort?" Under the setting sun, Zuo Mu couldn't help but ask, looking at the neat and orderly cottages in the distance. cleared the doubts in my heart.

"I heard from my brother that we didn't build these houses by ourselves. We built them when we moved here." After all, Xiaoshui was young, so he naturally didn't know so many taboos, so he answered without thinking.

"Then your children usually only rely on buying and selling herbs for a living, and it's really hard. Fortunately, I don't think life is too tight." Zuo Mu grabbed a wormwood and sighed softly.

"No, selling these medicinal herbs is not enough for us to live on, it's just for everyone's daily pocket money. Master, you don't know, but my Taohua Village has a big secret."
