Chapter 34: Study Medicine

Tongren Medicine Hall is the largest and most popular pharmacy in the city. Allegedly, Doctor Sun was born to a family of court healers from a previous dynasty and had high medical skills. Even nobles from the capital came to see him for a health check.

As soon as Yu Xiaocao entered, he saw a wise-like old doctor with white hair and a beard. Currently, he was carefully examining the patient's pulse.

[Spiritual energy! There is so much spiritual energy!] The Little Divine Stone hastily rushed towards the rows of medicine cabinets and stuck to the cabinets with the strongest energy.

“Small girl, where do you feel unwell?” After the old doctor prescribed a prescription for the patient and instructed his young disciple to collect the medicine, he finally had time to greet Yu Xiaocao.

Little Shitou was a bit nervous as she replied, “Old grandfather, my second sister injured her head three months ago and almost died. When he woke up, he could not remember many things. Old grandfather, can you see my second brother? ”

Looking at the handsome and polite boy, Physician Sun replied with a pleasant smile, “Sit down and let me, this old man, check your pulse.”

Yu Xiaocao's previous health condition was indeed alarming. He was very ill shortly after his birth. At the time, his young life was saved with the help of Doctor Sun, but he also confirmed that Xiaocao may not be able to live past the age of ten without careful care.

However, with the daily nourishment of the mystic stone water, the illness left inside Xiaocao's body had been cured. So, other than lack of exercise, there was nothing wrong with his body and he was much healthier than before.

Old Doctor Sun was a former palace healer, so after he checked his pulse and examined the wound on his head, he said, “You were born with a weak constitution, so, but an expert has nurtured your health with effective medicine. Your body is very healthy, but you need to be more physically active. Do not stay in the house all day. ”

“Regarding your memory loss, this old man has seen similar cases in the past. You may have a blood clot in the brain due to a fall and the blood clot may be pressing on a nerve. However, based on your pulse, it seems like you don't have any major problems. Blood clots will spread over time and you will gradually recover your memory. ”

Zhao Han became nervous when he heard there was a blood clot, “Old doctor, is there any medicine to speed up the spread of the blood clot?”

Old Doctor Sun looked at the shabby clothes of these brothers and shook his head with a smile, “All medicine is partially poisonous. It is better not to take medicine when you do not need it! ”

Moreover, the medicine was quite expensive. If it is only taken for a short time, it will not be effective. However, it was unaffordable for people like this little girl's family when it was taken for a long time. Anyway, no big deal. This little girl is still very young, so what's the harm in not remembering the past?

Yu Xiaocao could also guess the old healer's thoughts, so he gratefully said, “Old grandfather, thank you very much! With your words, my family and I can rest easy now. How much do I have to pay for check-up? ”

“I don't prescribe any medication, so you don't have to pay for the treatment fee. Little girl, can you tell me who is the expert who nurtures your health? ” Old Doctor Sun has an inevitable sense of appreciation for highly skilled medical experts.

Hearing that his second brother was fine, Little Shitou's heart finally relaxed and he became lively again, “Old grandfather, my second brother's health was always guarded by Doctor You from Dongshan Village. He has excellent medical skills. My second brother had such a large, bloody wound on his head, but it healed within a few days of using Grandpa You's medicine! ”

“Dongshan Village? You Yong's? ” Doctor Sun can't help but shake his head and laugh. You Yong was a folk practitioner who had been studying medicine under his guidance for quite some time. Therefore, he knew better than anyone about You Yong's medical skill level. He absolutely would not believe that You Yong could cure an illness with his weak medical skills.

However, he knew about politeness. If they didn't want to tell him, what was the point of forcing them?

The little heavenly stone finished absorbing the strongest energy source and belched in satisfaction. However, it was never satisfied and wanted to absorb more energy. No matter how small a mosquito is, it still has meat. At the very least, energy absorption was a much easier method to increase his strength than bathing.

Yu Xiaocao's mouth twitched as he watched her move from the ‘ginseng’ cabinet to the ‘lingzhi’ cabinet. Good Lord! The old doctor was a kind and skilled doctor. If he were to lose some precious medicinal herbs because of him, then he would truly be a cruel and ungrateful person.

Yu Xiaocao decisively stopped the small god stone act, thanked the old doctor a few times, and then he rushed out of the pharmacy with his younger brother.

[Is your ass on fire? Can't you wait until I'm done absorbing spiritual energy before leaving?] The little sacred stone was upset right now. If he could take on a physical form, he would definitely scratch it with his claws. His precious spiritual energy. Recovery of his strength …

Yu Xiaocao had a calm appearance as he communicated with the unreasonable little kitten in his mind, [How are you still right when you destroy other people's medicinal herbs?]

[How do I stain someone else's medicinal plant? What a stupid human! Do you think herbs will become useless after I absorb their energy? It's ridiculous! The spiritual energy that I, this Divine Stone, consume cannot be used by weak humans like you. It is useless to keep them!] The little celestial stone switched to its poisonous tongue mode.

[If you don't shut up, I'm not taking you to the pharmacy anymore!] As his master, he must have his own way of controlling it. So easy!

The little heavenly stone was stunned for a while, but it was able to adapt to different circumstances and started acting funny, [Teacher, you are a great teacher! A powerful teacher! You are even more outstanding than the Spirit Goddess and stronger than the Celestial Emperor.].

[Stop stopping! Stop your bullshit! Can't you talk like a normal person? How can you be someone's pet when you don't even know how to flatter people?] Yu Xiaocao acted in an extremely arrogant manner.

‘Boast? You are a pet, your whole family is a pet! ‘ little heavenly stone pouting and muttering, [Clap the horse's ass? The horse's ass is very dirty and smelly. Why should I pat him.].

Old Zhang had delivered the firewood that was in his ox cart and was waiting for them there. Yu Xiaocao greeted her sweetly and gave her a bag of cookies, “Grandfather Zhang, we are lucky to meet you. Otherwise, I don't know if I can go to the city with this leg of mine. It's a little gift from us. Kindly accepted.”

Although a small bag of snacks was not very expensive, Old Zhang knew he would not be able to afford it even after selling a basket of firewood. It wasn't easy for the boy to make money, so he flatly rejected his offer,

“Why would an old man like me eat cake? You brothers should enjoy it yourself. Cao’er, do you still need to take medicine now? After taking the bitter medicine, you can eat a piece and change the taste in your mouth! ”

The ox cart swayed as it started moving. Yu Xiaocao did not take the cake handed back by Old Zhang and pointed to another bag in the hands of his younger brother, “Grandfather Zhang, I have long since stopped taking medicine. Look, we got another! You can take it back for your granddaughter to eat! ”

After refusing for a while, Old Zhang helplessly received a bag of cookies. ‘Liu Tua has a great granddaughter! He's smart and generous. May heaven be just and let this child live long. ‘

“Cao’er, Grandpa Zhang sends firewood to the city every two days. If you want to go to the city, then wait at the crossroads. I usually leave after breakfast. ”

He gets a free ride in exchange for a bag of raw cookies. What a good offer!

After bidding farewell to Old Zhang, they continued walking quite a distance. The sky was already dark when the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village.

There was not much entertainment for people in ancient times. They usually start working at sunrise and rest at sunset. So, not many villagers were visible at this time.

“People in front look like Doctor You.” Zhao Han had sharp eyesight and recognized the dark figure in the distance.

They quickly walked forward and Yu Xiaocao warmly greeted his savior, “Grandfather, where are you from?”

“Oh, Xiaocao! Did you just get back from town? ” Doctor You looked well at the pair of sisters and brothers, and then happily replied, “I just got off the mountain.”

Zhao Han replied, “Doctor You, why are you late today? Didn't I warn you? There were many ferocious beasts on the mountain, so it was dangerous at night. ”

“Today, I was put off while trying to find a potion. That's not gonna happen again. ” Doctor You was rather polite while talking to Zhao Han.

“Grandfather, you can tell us what kind of herbs you need! We often set traps on the mountain with Brother Han. We can take it for you if we see it! ” Little Shitou cleverly suggested.

Doctor You stroked his beard and laughed, “Can you recognize a medicinal plant, man? Don't come back with weeds. ”

“I don't recognize them, but Grandpa, you can teach us! Second Brother said that I was very smart. I can already recognize over two hundred words! ” Little Shitou raised her chest confidently.

Yu Xiaocao thought of the mystical stone water when he heard Shitou's suggestion. He might be able to openly help the person he cares about through this method. After considering for a while, he said, “Grandfather, can I study medicine with you?”

Doctor You had watched Xiaocao grow up and paid even more attention to this little girl than her own grandchildren. In his heart, Yu Xiaocao was just like his own grandson, so he quickly agreed without hesitation, “Alright! As long as you don't think it's boring, you can start by learning to identify herbs! ”

Even though he was bragging about being a disciple of the Tongren Physician Sun Hall Medicine, he had only learned basic skills. Medical science derived from ancestors will only be taught to boys and not girls let alone outsiders.

So, Doctor You only studied the most basic and general medical knowledge. There is nothing worth hiding from others. If one wanted to learn from him, he would not be stingy with his teachings.

Yu Xiaocao and his younger brother were concerned about that stupid egg deer. After they said goodbye to Doctor You, they went to Zhao Han's house first. Aunt Zhao, who was graceful, had already fried the hazelnuts. she tidied the front cloths of the two brothers with hazelnuts and said, “Eat first. If you bring too much back, who knows will benefit! Auntie has more, so come back tomorrow if you want to eat more! ”

Yu Xiaocao loudly agreed. In his heart, Aunt Zhao's family was much better than the so-called relatives. There is no need to be too polite to his own people.

Yu Xiaocao held the hazelnut with one hand, while he placed the hazelnut in his mouth. He opened his shell and happily ate the delicious hazelnuts. From time to time, she would stuff candlenut into her younger brother's mouth after he opened his shell.

As for that stupid little roe deer, they had nothing to worry about at all. They only needed to splash a little mystical stone water on their pants and the little one would follow them up close. It was even more obedient than Little Shitou.

“Cao’er! Damnit damnit! Why are you guys out playing this late and just back? You kids haven't had dinner yet, have you? ” In the distance, a tall figure appeared on the road leading to their house. Their father had actually arrived home earlier than them. He was a pretty fast walker!
