Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 273: The changed master-disciple relationship

Originally, Wang Chengzhou thought that the night would just pass.Unexpectedly, when it was almost midnight, shouts suddenly sounded outside.The voice was mixed with wind and rain, and it was clearly the word "Wang Chengzhou".

Due to lack of physical strength and the cold, Guo Mingyue leaned on his lap and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Wang Chengzhou was about to shake her awake and ran outside to respond, when suddenly a figure flashed in at the door.The clothes on her body have long been wet by the rain, and the hair on her head has become strands, sticking to the cold melon face, reflecting the golden firelight, so beautiful that she seems to have stepped out of a comic book.

"Master...brother!"

Her eyes swept over the two people who were cuddling together. Luan Hongying's frowned eyebrows relaxed slightly, as if she hadn't seen Guo Mingyue. She stepped closer, but stood in front of him in a daze, with waves in her beautiful eyes and her little hands curled up in her sleeves. There is nowhere to put it.

Wang Chengzhou was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that in the middle of the night, after working all day, she would come to look for him in the dark.

Looking down again, boundless pity immediately surged in my heart.

I don’t know why, but her feet were bare, with one or two green weed leaves stuck between her toes. Water was dripping from her wet trousers, and the water droplets fell on her white toes, which made her subconsciously freeze. He cocked his head, looking embarrassed with a hint of playfulness.

"Run...lost...."

Seeing that he was staring at her feet, a blush appeared on Luan Hongying's slightly pale face, and she explained a little awkwardly.

Wang Chengzhou could no longer control the turbulent emotions in his heart, so he went up and hugged her into his arms.

At this time, Guo Mingyue had already sat up and saw the two of them clinging to each other in front of her. They opened their red lips in shock and their big eyes widened.

Facing her gaze, Luan Hongying became more and more embarrassed, but he held her arms tightly, so she could only raise her small fist and beat him clumsily.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling footsteps came over.

Wang Chengzhou guessed that his father, Wang Honghe, had led a group of young and old men to find her. He immediately did not dare to bully her any more. He quickly let go, pretending to be a gentleman, and excitedly greeted her...

This night was really a close call.

Wang Chengzhou felt a little sorry for having troubled a bunch of young and old men to go out in the dark and rain.

In addition, Guo Mingyue returned home just after midnight with the help of Luan Hongying who volunteered.Li Yuzhu immediately started to boil hot water, and Wang Aiduo helped take care of her. By the time Linming arrived, she was almost well.

She was not in bad health to begin with, and she was young. After breakfast, she became energetic and begged Wang Chengzhou to go with her to save people.

The rain is coming, the clouds are opening, and the red sun is rising in the east.

The autumn rain that has been falling for several days has finally stopped. It is estimated that the team will start the autumn harvest soon.

Because a house was built in the middle to entertain guests, only a small part of the summer food was left, and the whole family felt a sense of urgency that they were about to go hungry.

They all want to get more work points and share more miscellaneous grains in winter, so as to save some white flour and last until next year's wheat harvest.

However, even if it is time to go to work, it is not today.

The continuous autumn rain soaked the crops, and the ground was probably so soft that I couldn't even carry my feet on it. It was difficult to walk neatly, let alone work.

Let it dry for at least a full day.

So, given this opportunity, Wang Chengzhou naturally had no reason to refuse to save others. After saying hello to his family, he followed Guo Mingyue, who was eager to save people, across the river.

Guo Mingyue didn't come home all night, and her family members were equally anxious.

Especially Zou Cunliang, who originally revealed the news to his cousin, who was a disciple of an expert. Moreover, he had already convinced the grieving family, patting his chest and promising that the miracle doctor he invited would be able to save their poor people. daughter.

But after a whole night, not to mention the miracle doctor, I even lost my cousin.

Early in the morning, he stood in the yard, being scolded by his aunt, who was so scolded that he could hardly lift his head.

Seeing the two people arriving at the gate of the hospital one after another, Zou Cunliang felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Knowing that Guo Mingyue was fine, he was so excited that he almost shed tears. He couldn't help introducing:

"Auntie, I just said it's okay? You still don't believe it. You just scolded me all morning!"

"Who is Wang Chengzhou? He is a rare and unique person in our country. As Mingyue is his only apprentice, what can happen to him?"

"By the way, brother Chengzhou, this is my aunt, the mother of this girl Mingyue. She has been talking about you for a long time."

This old Zou really knows how to talk...

What do you mean by talking about yourself for a long time? Maybe you have been criticizing yourself secretly for a long time, right?

After all, the reason why my precious daughter stayed outside twice was because of his master. If she could talk about it, she would be a ghost.

Wang Chengzhou cursed secretly, but went up to greet the old lady with a smile on his face.

Guo Chen is not very old, probably more than ten years younger than Li Yuzhu, probably around forty.Her clothes were very simple, but she was well groomed. Even her gray hair was meticulously tied up, revealing her neat hairline. At first glance, she could tell that she was a serious woman with a big air of elder.

"Are you Wang Chengzhou?"

As soon as they met, she rolled her eyes and looked Wang Chengzhou up and down, wondering: "Really so young... Are you afraid that you are one year younger than my daughter, but you can be her master?"

Wang Chengzhou smiled casually. He didn't expect her to speak so directly. She seemed to be a woman who was not easy to talk to.

"Mom!" Guo Mingyue saw that her tone was cold, as if she was questioning her master, and she immediately became unhappy. She came up and hugged her arm and said coquettishly:
"People say that one's ambition lies in one's age."

"Master is very capable. I am lucky to have him as my teacher."

"What else can I say? By the way, this is called 'a match made in heaven'!"

Wang Chengzhou's face darkened, this damn girl has started again.

Sure enough, Mrs. Guo Chen's eyebrows immediately stood up, she glared at her daughter sternly, and then looked at Wang Chengzhou displeased.

Guo Mingyue stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had said the wrong thing again.

"Cough cough!"

Zou Cunliang didn't know his cousin's mouth, so he quickly came up to smooth things over and introduced the topic:
"Brother Chengzhou, we are here to find you this time. Do you already know the cause and effect?"

"Hey, that girl is actually not from our Pushan Township. In the early years, I asked around about the masters who knew how to burn kilns, and I got to know their family."

"You also know that our country is very superstitious. This unmarried woman died in infancy, and she was very resentful. Most people would not dare to touch her, let alone bury her in the ancestral grave. So, they came to find me."

Wang Chengzhou frowned and interrupted, "Isn't she not dead yet?"

"That's what you're talking about!"

Zou Cunliang slapped his thigh and said angrily:

"This family is also a bastard. Even before my daughter died, she started preparing for her funeral. How do you think this kid would feel if he found out?"

"But, having said that, there is a reason why they did this. The girl was born weak and got an illness in the spring. She was cured in the autumn. Not only did she not get better, she became more and more serious."

"According to what they said, the girl was about to die. She went to many doctors, but no one dared to treat her. Only one old Chinese medicine doctor who was said to be from the ancestors did not give up on her from the beginning to the end, and still wanted to treat her. Hanging one's life, I guess it's going to be difficult."

Guo Mingyue felt uncomfortable when she thought of the girl's situation.Firstly, it was because the two were similar in age, and secondly, the desolation of lying in bed waiting to die despite being alive reminded her of some bad memories.

So, after hearing what her cousin said, she immediately took Wang Chengzhou's hand and said with tears in her eyes:
"Master, can you save her?"

"She is so pitiful..."

"She's not dead yet, but she has to watch her whole family bury her. I really want to save her!"

Wang Chengzhou was slightly silent.

Without seeing the patient, he did not dare to draw arbitrary conclusions just by listening to other people's oral descriptions.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Guo Chen, who was standing aside, misunderstood and thought that he was in trouble. She couldn't help but get a little angry and said to her daughter:
"Mingyue, there are so many poor people in the world. It's a good thing that you have the heart to help people in need, but don't involve others inexplicably."

"It's such a serious disease, and so many doctors can't do anything about it. You insist on talking big words to get your little master to come over. If someone else can't be cured, aren't you going to trick him into embarrassing yourself?"

"You, you, your daughter, it's time to go out. When something happens, why do you always get carried away and don't consider the consequences?"

Guo Mingyue's expression changed immediately after she scolded her. She panicked and said tremblingly: "Master, yes... I'm sorry. Did I cause trouble for you?"

Zou Cunliang immediately raised his ears and listened.

Wang Chengzhou finally knew why she only stayed at his house for one night that day, but was so frightened that she heard nothing from her the next day.It is not easy to have such a powerful mother and yet my disciple still has a bright and sunny temperament.

It's thanks to her fierce temper that she didn't become a little chick by being disciplined, right?
Seeing her panic, Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but comfort her and said:

"What's troublesome? Is Master a person who is afraid of trouble?"

"We medical students treat illnesses and save people. How can we restrain ourselves and refuse to save people just because we are afraid of losing face? Compared with life, face is just something that can be thrown into the trash can."

"Besides, when has Master ever let you down?"

Guo Mingyue immediately jumped up, hugged his arm, shook it, and said happily: "Master!"

When Mrs. Guo Chen saw it, her face immediately darkened.

These two people are too close!
Is this what a master-disciple relationship should be like?
When Zou Cunliang heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel happy. He rubbed his hands in excitement and said:

“Brother Chengzhou, it’s worthy of you!”

"In that case, let's go."

"It's also my fault that I was too angry yesterday and pointed at other people's noses and said big words. If you don't dare to treat this person today, our old face will really be lost!"

Wang Chengzhou smiled, let Guo Mingyue pull him, and strode out.

Mrs. Guo Chen saw them holding hands. They were obviously master and apprentice, but they looked like a young couple. How could they sit still?

He immediately locked the courtyard door, held up his sleeves, and pushed him up.
