Reborn Doctor

Chapter 16

Kou Tong's appearance followed the Kou family's, with a full forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn't think it in the past, but today he combed all his hair together like this, which is a bit amazing.

Su Shi was very satisfied: "It's so beautiful! Tong Niang is also a big girl!"

Kou Tong naturally knows that he looks good!

Among the girls in the Kou family, she and her cousin Kou Yan are the prettiest.

Zheng Shixiu once told her that the members of the Kou family are very good at picking names, and every girl's name is very appropriate.

Kou Tong is bright and dignified, just like her name, Tong - as bright as a golden glow!
And her cousin Kou Yan, who also inherited the appearance of the Kou family with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but with slender shoulders and narrow waist, is petite and exquisite, and her name is also very suitable for the occasion, Yan——Qiaohui Delicate!
Su's ancestral home was in the north, and she was tall and strong. The adult Kou Tong inherited Su's figure. Among the girls of the Kou family, she was always the tallest one to be seen.

But other people's eyes would only slip past her, and then naturally look at the most favored daughter of the Kou family's fourth wife—her cousin Kou Yan.

She had just married at that time, because Zheng Shixiu paid too much attention to her cousin, she was displeased, and she said a few harsh words at that time, Zheng Shixiu walked away on the spot and refused to talk to her for a month.It wasn't until the cousin got married that the stone in her heart was put down.However, even if Kou Yan is married, Zheng Shixiu is still willing to guard her body like a jade. He would rather wait endlessly than accept his petty tenderness...

Kou Tong felt that she was short of breath again, so she quickly calmed down and warned herself that she should never have any interaction with Zheng Shixiu again in this life.

stop!stop!stop!
Since it is so unbearable, don't think about it again, don't mention it again!

Kou Tong turned his attention to Su Shi: "That's also the mother's credit. Everyone says that my daughter Xiao's mother, without a beautiful mother, how can I have a beautiful me!"

"Small mouth!" Su Shi scratched Kou Tong's nose: "Hurry up and have breakfast, it will be bad if you are late!"

Su's joy infected Kou Tong, looking at his mother's smiling face, Kou Tong suddenly felt that her mother seemed to be much happier than before, with a lot more smiles!
Kou Tong raised the curtain and opened the door!What a sunny day!

It was so cloudy yesterday, but today is such a sunny day!

Old people often say that when you go out to do errands after the rain, everything is always good!Does that also mean that from now on, my life will be as bright and sunny as today's weather!

After breakfast and saying goodbye to Mrs. Su, Kou Tong put on his coat and went out.

She was in a very good mood, and felt that everything she saw along the way was different from before.

She didn't stop on the road, and came to the small gentle slope at the west end of the town in one breath.

When she reached the slope, the old man and Zimo were having breakfast.

Seeing her coming, the old man put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Hehe, girl, you came very early!"

"It was my mother who got up early and woke me up early!" Kou Tong replied honestly.

For some reason, when the old man asked Kou Tong questions, Kou Tong always answered honestly and never beat around the bush.Perhaps it was such sincerity that moved the old man!

"So your mother supports you in studying medicine?"

"Yes!" Kou Tong pondered for a while and said, "My late father was a doctor when he was alive!"

The old man nodded: "No wonder you are quite talented in medicine. It turns out that it is because of family learning! From now on, you have to learn from me, and you can't be afraid of hardship or tiredness! If you feel that you can't bear it, you can tell me directly. , I will never force you! A twisted melon is not sweet, and it is not a blessing for you or me!"

"Yes, more teachings from the old man, I will definitely remember them in my heart!"

"Don't call me old man, my surname is An, just follow Zimo, just call me master!"

"Yes! Master!" Kou Tong behaved very well.

"Okay, I think you are more proficient in herbal medicine, so you can start right away! You and Zimo will identify the herbal medicine first, and after you understand it, close your eyes and tell what kind of herbal medicine it is through the smell. You follow Zimo Silent together, two people test each other!"

"Yes!"

At noon, Kou Tong went home for lunch, and in the afternoon he came to Xiaoxuanpo to continue his work in the morning.

For a whole day, Kou Tong debated and accepted the medicine.

During this process, Kou Tong was amazed by Zimo's intelligence. Kou Tong recognized it because of the foundation of several years in his previous life, and Zimo could recognize it exactly.So Kou Tong paid more attention, but such boring training was a bit boring for Zimo.

When returning home in the evening, the old man told Kou Tong that he would come to see the doctor when the new year and spring began, and then he would bring Zimo with Kou Tong, and even let her do the diagnosis.

After hearing this, Kou Tong was very happy!She finally had the opportunity to really help people see a doctor!

In the next month, Kou Tong has been studying with the old man, debating medicine in the morning and explaining medical theory to them in the afternoon.

The next day, the elders will test what they learned yesterday.

Kou Tong found that Zimo did a very good job in this aspect, and his memory is simply amazing!

In order to make up for his own shortcomings, when he returns home at night, Kou Tong will recall what he has seen and learned today in his mind, then make an outline, and finally fill in some details. The notes are very detailed.

In the morning, before going to Xiaohuanpo, Kou Tong would take out the notes and review them again, so that Kou Tong could basically digest what he learned yesterday.

But in this way, Kou Tong has to light the oil lamp every night, take notes for a long time, and wake up half an hour earlier in the morning than before.Seeing that Kou Tong's already thin body was even thinner, Mrs. Su was very distressed, so she advised her not to work so hard.

But Kou Tong said: "Mother, I want to learn medical skills from Master, and I want to become Master's real disciple! All these hardships are nothing, I feel that I am happy!"

After hearing what Kou Tong said, Mrs. Su said nothing more!He only cooks a small bowl of porridge for Kou Tong every night to help him replenish his body.Although it is not a good thing, it is better than nothing!At least Kou Tong doesn't have to go to bed hungry anymore!
Time flies very fast, February passed in a blink of an eye, the wind is not so cold on the face, and the sun is warming people.

In the past two months, Kou Tong's understanding of herbal medicine has changed by leaps and bounds!
Kou Tong's stature has also changed. In the past two months, her body has sprouted and spun silk like a wicker blown by the spring breeze.

Kou Tong's spring clothes from last year were already too small, Su was busy pulling cloth to make clothes for Kou Tong.

In the past few days, because the old man was going to visit friends, it was rare for Kou Tong to be free at home for a while. She moved into a small house and sat in the yard, basking in the sun and reading medical books.

There was a knock on the door, but Kou Tong didn't hear it at all, her mind was already immersed in the book.After this period of study, if Kou Tong reads the book again, he finds that he can understand some of them.If she didn't understand something, she would write it down and ask the old man the next day.A few days ago, she just asked the old man a question. After the old man's guidance, when she came back and looked at it again, she felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"Master Liu is here!"

Mrs. Su went to open the door, welcomed the person in with a smile, and said familiarly: "Thank you Madam for waiving our rent for these two months, and thank you for always giving me the changed clothes during this period of time." Xi, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have no food for Tong Niang!"

"Aunt Su's is too polite! For the past two years, you have been helping our family wash and wash the clothes, making them clean and tidy. The reason why my mother didn't hand them over to others is because of your good craftsmanship. It's not my credit! If it is about rent-free, it is not my idea. The harvest at the end of the year is not good, and the long-term workers and tenants in our farm are all exempted from rent. It is not your family alone. Besides, this is because of the kindness of my mother, and I did not contribute. , just to run errands, I just came here to tell you!"

The person who came was Liu Da, the only son of Landlord Liu's family.

Ever since Kou Tong invited the old man to cure Mrs. Liu's illness, he always took good care of Kou Tong and Mrs. Su.

Always be grateful for favors.

Kou Tong hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Liu, please sit in the room!"

Seeing Kou Tong talking to him, Liu Da was very happy: "Tong Niang, don't be so polite!"

Su let the person in, and said: "No matter what, I always want to thank you. What's more, you gave me all the curtains that you replaced. I made some needlework and sold it in the town. Some money! You really give it to Mrs. Liu, you have a kind heart!"

Su's tone was kind and respectful, which was very appropriate.

When Kou Tong saw it, he sighed in his heart: Mother lived with his father in the capital for so many years, and the exchanges between officials and family members, the communication of polite greetings, was really very polite.In the past few years of living in poverty, the mother who is used to the warmth and coldness of the world is even more mellow when socializing, and she is more at ease!
Just by looking at the smile on Liu Da's face, you can tell that Su's method makes Liu Da feel very useful!
Su Shi held the tea ceremony: "It's not a good tea, young master, don't dislike it!"

Liu Da took a sip of tea and said, "Auntie Su, don't be too polite. You should do your work first. I'm here today to deliver these clothes. By the way, I'll ask Tongniang about the old miracle doctor."

Su Shi glanced at Kou Tong, Kou Tong nodded, Su Shi said with a smile: "You sit down, I'll wash the clothes right away!"

After saying that, Mrs. Su took the bag of clothes and went into the yard.

In recent months, Liu Da came to Kou's house very frequently, sometimes Kou Tong was at home, sometimes Kou Tong was not at home.One day, Su Shi suddenly told Kou Tong that she had grown up and would be thirteen after the new year, and Young Master Liu would be fifteen or sixteen, so it's not good to get too close to Young Master Liu!
Kou Tong naturally understood what Su Shi meant, and she could also feel Liu Da's affection when talking to her, so she tried to avoid as little contact with Liu Da as possible.Although the folk customs in the countryside are simple and honest, and the Jin Dynasty did not restrict the contacts between men and women, but they are orphans and widowed mothers, and if there are any rumors, they will not be able to gain a foothold!
Seeing that Liu Da was silent, Kou Tong took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"I don't know what Master Liu wanted to ask me when he came to see me?" Kou Tong asked.

"Tong Niang, you don't need to be so ignorant, didn't I say it last time, you can just call me Liu Da!" Liu Da has always been worried about Kou Tong calling him Young Master Liu.

Because he reminded Kou Tong like this many times, this time Kou Tong followed suit: "Okay, Liu Da!"

Seeing Kou Tong like this, Liu Da was very happy: "Tong Niang, are you the disciple of the old genius doctor?"

How come you're so good, you're asking about this?Kou Tong secretly wondered.
