Chapter 7, Leaving the City
Master He has fallen asleep, do not disturb him
Saying this, he repeated Mo Qiu's words and made a face at Cai Rui beside him
The principle that one method leads to the understanding of all methods is equally applicable in the field of medicine
"How have you been learning alongside us these past two months?" Brother Wei glared at Cai Rui and said in a low voice
In the past few months, apart from Master Qin occasionally discussing medical principles and medication, Wei An has only regarded him as a mere assistant
It must be said that this is somewhat unreasonable
A lack of spirit will lead to a slowdown in progress, but it will not diminish.
Why are you making such a fuss instead of properly preparing the medicine? Don't you know that Master He dislikes being disturbed the most?
After a brief tidying up, the two of them boarded the Sun family's carriage, which skillfully drove out of the city under the coachman's adept handling
Cai Rui trembled at the sound; he was merely a child just over ten years old, and this was his first time away from his parents, how could he endure such humiliation
Conversely, progress will be relatively rapid
It resembles seven qian, yet also somewhat resembles three qian
This is ... ...
Brother Wei entered the carriage, while Mo Qiu shrank his body and sat on the carriage frame, one on the left and one on the right with the coachman
It is now. Senior Brother Wei frowned, his expression equally displeased
"Leaving the city?" He asked, his eyes filled with surprise.
The person who has been struck should not only refrain from complaints but also express gratitude for the other party's teachings; otherwise, it demonstrates a lack of respect for teachers and the way of learning.
Time flies
Senior Brother," Cheng Shou quickly spoke
Do not reach out to catch a snowflake, but rather watch it melt in the palm of your hand before retracting your hand and looking back.
The progress can be described as encouraging
It is all thanks to the excellent guidance of my senior brothers
At the entrance, two servants were anxiously waiting, but their expressions caused Mo Qiu to frown
The amount of Poria used is seven qian, while the quantities of other medicinal materials will not be so minimal. This may lead to an imbalance in efficacy, which not only fails to save a person but may also cause harm to the body
In recent months, he has been well-fed and well-nourished, his physique is robust, and his spirit is naturally vigorous
At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and she bowed her head, sobbing softly
Today, the pharmacist on duty is Master He, a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar, sporting a three-inch beard
Humph! Senior Brother Wei let out a humph and turned his head, just in time to see Master He lying sideways on the lounge chair
Old Master Sun outside the city accidentally fell from the attic, sustaining injuries from iron objects. He is unable to move easily and has asked us to hurry over.
"I dare not," Mo Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head, speaking in a low voice:
Senior brother. Do not seek to extend a hand in vain, while simultaneously signaling to Master He, who was somewhat dazed not far away.
Master Sun is a herbal medicine dealer and also a major customer of the pharmacy. Naturally, any issues that arise cannot be delayed
Brother Mo
Squinting, he watched the gray, drab walls and houses on both sides flash by, and Mo Qiu let out a sigh, shrinking his body once more
Fear
Here, it is quite normal for masters to discipline their apprentices and for senior brothers to admonish their junior brothers
"Crying, all you know is to cry!" Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Wei became even angrier, taking a step forward, raising his right hand as if to strike.
Thanks to the system, my understanding of "The Treasure Medicine for Trauma" has reached a master level, allowing me to draw parallels and comprehend ordinary prescriptions with ease
Now that late autumn has passed, the chill has set in
Please tidy up a bit, and then we will go out of the city together.
If it were not for the experiences accumulated over a lifetime, one might not realize how many times they have been reprimanded by the other party
Hmm. Senior Brother Wei nodded, barely suppressing the anger within, and waved his sleeve as he spoke
Do not waste time, quickly go and pack your things
He naturally noticed that what was written on it was actually 7 qian, but this does not mean that the prescription is correct
Oh, let me see." Mo Qiu rubbed his hands together to dispel the chill and walked over to the two of them.
For him, the most important thing is still the stars in the sea of consciousness, once again shining with a dim halo
Upon closer inspection, his hands were somewhat red and swollen; this was frostbite. Although not severe, it had a considerable impact.
Several associates are organizing the medicinal herbs
Sui Ji cast a stern look at Mo Qiu and lightly snorted: "Junior Brother Mo, you are learning quite quickly; it won't be long before you can graduate."
I personally saw Senior Brother Wei write that it was 7 qian
This is a prescription that Lord Wang of the city prepared for his concubine; if there is an error, it would cause considerable trouble
He pointed at the prescription and said, "I said that the amount of Poria should be three qian, but my junior brother insisted it should be seven qian"
Therefore, this Poria should be three qian
At this moment, he abruptly restrained himself and shot a furious glare at Cai Rui
With a glance, he immediately recognized this as a prescription for treating kidney yin deficiency
Whether one can return to the city before the gates close at this hour is uncertain
While retrieving a certain medicinal herb, a dispute arose between the two individuals, who immediately turned their gaze towards Mo Qiu.
If there is a next time, just roll away
He cast a glance at the three individuals, his expression darkening, and scolded in a low voice
Oh? Senior Brother Wei originally intended to reprimand, but upon hearing this, he frowned and took a step forward to examine the pharmacy once again
Moreover, it was just a momentary misjudgment on the part of Brother Cai. Fortunately, it did not lead to any complications. You, being magnanimous, should not hold it against him.
Do not seek to shake your head lightly
The complexion immediately turned somewhat unfavorable
At least the guy still has a salary, but when it comes to him, not only is there no salary, but one also has to be constantly cautious.
In addition to the fragrant herb, several other herbs that can replenish energy have been found, which has contributed to today's progress
This is the Dingzhi prescription from Anyang, which contains yam, peony root, and so on. The dosage clearly indicates that it is intended for women
He naturally knows that Mo Qiu is right; it was his own moment of confusion that led him to use an excessive amount.
The frail body has gained some flesh, the face occasionally shows a rosy glow, and even the height has slightly increased
How could your brother-in-law say in front of me that you are so clever, when in fact it would be better for you to return home early!
However, Cai Rui insisted that he had seen Senior Brother Wei write "7 qian," and the two could not come to an agreement
The key point is that Cheng Shou found this prescription very familiar; in the past, he had always taken two or three qian, at most five qian, but he had never taken seven qian before
Cheng Shou and the new apprentice Cai Rui were preparing the medicine, their movements cautious and careful, fearing to disturb Master He
One hour later
Some parts of the prescription have been dampened by water, which does not affect most of it; however, the dosage of Poria behind it is quite unclear
Through several attempts, Mo Qiu has verified that the brightness of the star halo is related to his intrinsic spirit
Of course
and is not inferior to the insights gained from "The Treasure Medicine for Wounds"
Senior Brother Mo also said it is 3 qian
His explanation was very detailed and also easy to understand, Cheng Shou nodded repeatedly while Cai Rui, on the other hand, frowned tightly
Is it this time?
Master He enjoys tranquility, and at this moment, he is lying on the lounge chair with his eyes half-closed, in a state of half-sleep, half-awake, and half-dazed
He sighed and slowly turned around
We just came from the back, and the prescription was covered in snow, making some areas unclear.
He was dressed in a gray winter coat, wearing a bamboo hat, his small body curled up as much as possible to avoid the biting cold wind
As he let out a sigh of relief, an inexplicable sense of restlessness arose within him, and his gaze towards the three individuals became increasingly unfriendly
Furthermore, even if it is intended for men, unless they are exceptionally robust and muscular, it would not require more than seven qian
Several months have passed, and although the days in the pharmacy are not particularly pleasant, I am well-fed and well-nourished, and my complexion is no longer as sallow as it used to be
Does Lian Anyang even know how to stop the pain?
The Sun residence outside the city has arrived
Especially at night, the onset of pain and itching is particularly tormenting, yet there seems to be no effective remedy
Unknowingly, four months have quietly passed
At this moment, he extended his hand and pointed, speaking in a soft voice
Cheng Shoudao: "Come and take a look, should the Poria in this prescription be 3 qian or 7 qian?"
However, he still insisted
The first snow is neither heavy nor dense, falling like willow catkins in the wind, causing many children on the street to cheer with joy
Yes. One should not seek to rush.
Teaching is nonsense
What happened?" As he spoke, Senior Brother Wei, whose complexion was dark and slightly hunched, turned around from behind.
