Chapter 24

The news that the Shangxi Town Medical Center took in a female doll as a medicine boy spread quickly.

There was a lot of discussion.Some said that there is no way to let the girl out to show her face; some doubted that the new drug boy could read and write, and that he would not have seized the wrong medicine;

No matter what people said, Xiao Ruo pretended she couldn't hear her. During the day, she helped sort herbs and prescribe them in the front hall, and stored them according to the names marked on the medicine cabinet. At night, she worked with old man Cen in the backyard.

She is extremely intelligent and has an extraordinary memory. In just one month, she has memorized the processing methods of hundreds of medicinal materials.

Sometimes the old man Cen deliberately tested her, letting her handle everything from cleaning and drying to concocting the ingredients.

In the past month, she has never missed the prescriptions in the front hall. No matter how complicated the prescription is, she can quickly find the corresponding medicinal ingredients in dozens of grids in the medicine cabinet, and sometimes even some common ones. For any disease, she can dispense the corresponding medicine without a prescription.

In addition, she speaks softly to the patients, and there is always a sweet smile on her pretty face. The discussion of people in the town gradually disappeared, and everyone knows that there is a clever and capable medicine boy in Tzu Chi Hall. Old man Cen has a successor.

Xiaoxun's injury has recovered after a month of careful treatment.The young man has a strong body and quick recovery ability, and Zhang Mansion's Donganggui is of high quality, the medicinal effect is greatly enhanced after processing, and Xiaoxun can speak after taking the medicine continuously for a few days.

Xiaoruo still remembers the scene when Xiaoxun's throat recovered.

It was a moonless night, and she and old man Cen manually removed the thick roots from the fresh Coptis chinensis purchased from Yaonong, and were about to push and pull them back and forth in the Alisma cage to remove the thinner roots, when Xiaoxun suddenly ran into the pharmacy.

The air he sucked into his lungs was stained with the coolness of early summer nights, and his legs, which had just been removed from the plank, were tingling from running fast. None of these could stop his joyful mood at the moment, and he was eager to see Xiaoruo.

Seeing the panting young man suddenly barging in, Xiao Ruo was a little surprised, Xiao Xun was usually helping Xiao Niao Xiao Zhao get ready for bed at this time.

The boy's eyes were as bright as stars, his sharp eyebrows were raised slightly, and his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

He took a few deep breaths in front of Xiaoruo, then took her hand and put it on his throat, and said slowly, "Ruo... Xiaoruo... Ruoruo..."

Xiao Ruo could feel the subtle tremors of her fingertips following Xiao Xun's vocalizations, as well as the boy's inconspicuous Adam's apple sliding up and down when swallowing.

"You can talk?" Xiaoruo was also very surprised.

"Can...a little..."

"It seems that the toxin has almost subsided. He will be able to speak smoothly after it is completely discharged in a few days." Old Cen narrowed his eyes, stroked his gray beard and smiled.

Sure enough, as old man Cen said, Xiao Xun's speech became more and more fluent after that night. No one would have guessed that a few days ago he could only express emotions with monosyllables.

Xiaoxun, who can speak fluently, no longer stays in the backyard all day long. Except for the necessary rehabilitation and exercise of lower body strength, he stays in the front hall of the medical hall, helping old man Cen climb up to fetch things or carry medicinal materials.

Most of the time, when he had nothing to do, he took three small benches and took the two cubs to sit in the sun at the entrance of the Tzu Chi Hall, and sometimes he made some reeds for the two little ones to make a little bird to amuse them.

In addition to the fact that there was a handsome young gentleman in Tzu Chi Hall, the news spread all over Shangxi Town. The families in the town did not have so many rules like the rich and powerful families, and the girls' families were not like the ladies of the big family. The cardamom girls who are not allowed in the town often find excuses to come to the Tzu Chi Hall, and they all want to take a look at this handsome young man.

"Others are family girls who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and the threshold is stepped down by the matchmaker. I think the threshold of my Tzu Chi Hall was stepped down by the Huaichun girl who came to see your family's Axun." Old man Cen teased Xiaoruo.

In order to save trouble, Xiao Ruo had told old man Cen about Xiao Xun's marriage contract with her, and explained why they lived together but did not pay homage to heaven and earth.

Xiaoruo didn't think there was anything wrong with it, everyone has a love for beauty, so what if those little girls came to see Xiaoxun, if she saw a handsome guy on the road, she would look twice more.

Besides, there are many little girls here, and the sales of whitening and freckle-removing Angelica dahurica and pearl powder are much better than before!

Xiao Xun also felt that it didn't matter, he didn't care who came after him at all, except when he was facing Xiao Ruo and the two Zai Zai, he would smile, but he was expressionless towards everyone else.

All living beings are equal, except the Xiao family.

At the end of the month, Xiaoruo received the monthly money promised by old man Cen, a total of 120 Wen.

The one hundred cash was originally agreed, and the other twenty cash was another reward.After all, since the arrival of the four members of the Xiao family, the Tzu Chi Church's income has greatly increased. At the end of the month, the income was one-third more than usual.

Old man Cen generously gave Xiaoruo more monthly money, and also gave Xiaoyou and Xiaozhao ten Wen each as pocket money.

These two little Douding Bingxue are cute, with a sweet mouth, and they yelled at Grandpa Cen one by one. At night, they would say that Grandpa and sister had worked hard, and they would squeeze their hands and legs, making old man Cen feel happy every day.

He had never married and had no children in his life, and he had long regarded the Xiao family's dolls as his own children.

He didn't give up on Xiaoxun either, he gave forty coins as a reward for his usual help, and also gave Xiaoxun a dagger.

This dagger was made by a blacksmith in the town. The length of the sword is two feet and eight inches, and the width is one and two inches.

Although this sword is not an expensive weapon, it is also exquisitely crafted, and it seems that Old Cen spent a lot of money.

Naturally, you have to spend the monthly money, and at the fair in Shangxi Town, the old man Cen gave Xiao Ruo a day off, and asked her to take her younger siblings and Xiao Xun to the town for a good stroll.

Although it was a holiday, Xiaoruo got up early to unload the board and start business with old man Cen.Help him cut the paper needed to write the prescription today, grind the ink for later use, and sort out the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet, add the ones that are almost used up, and pour out the wet ones and take them to the backyard to spread out to dry.

After finishing their daily work, the four of Xiao's family were going to go shopping in the town's market together.

"Grandpa Cen, I will bring you delicious food when you come back!" Xiaoyou held her eldest sister with one hand, and tried to raise her other hand to wave to old man Cen.

"Hey, okay, then Grandpa will be waiting for you." Old Cen looked at Xiao Douding lovingly, wishing to give her some pocket money.

"Mr. Cen, you have to be careful not to work too hard by yourself. If Yao Nong brings medicinal materials, you don't move. Let Axun move when we come back." Xiaoruo told old man Cen before leaving.

This little old man is very strong, with a stubborn temper. He doesn't care about his age and wants to take care of everything by himself, and he doesn't care about the weight of the boxes of medicinal materials he sent.During the time we spent together, she knew it all too well.

"Oh, okay, why are you getting more and more verbose, girl?" Old Cen replied pretending to be impatient, and urged them to leave quickly. "Hurry up, you guys, if you don't go to this market, you will be gone!"

After sending the four of them out of the Tzu Chi Hall, he grinned and went back to wait for the patients to come to buy medicine.

 Thank you for the recommendation votes of Time is not old and Qiongzi Shenyun, thank you for the monthly votes, I will continue to work hard

  dear!
