Chapter 7 Recuperation
Xiao Guding slowly drank the medicine and talked to the white-haired old man about those things in the restaurant. When talking about how naughty Xiaoguding was, he made the old man laugh and said, "What a naughty troublemaker!"
I finally met a somewhat related person outside. Xiaoguding's excited words opened. He swept away the depression when he came out in the morning, forgot the pain under his feet, and his head was still a little dizzy and swollen.
When he heard that the business of the restaurant was booming and his daughter and son-in-law were in good health, the old man kept smiling.
In addition to occasionally going out to help patients get their pulses, the old man has been chatting with Xiaoguding for some medicine.
"I said, Xiaoguding, since you are so happy in the restaurant, why do you have to find some immortals and learn some fairy arts?" From Xiaoguding's tone, the old man can tell that although this guy is very naughty, his daughter-in-law is still very reluctant to treat him as his own child. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for them. After a while, the old man found that he also liked this sensible and naughty kid! If you can keep him, you won't be lonely in your old age and have more fun.
Xiaoguding's eyes were a little red and said, "I can't bear to give up. When I left, I didn't dare to look back. I'm afraid that once I turn back, I won't have the courage to leave again!" After wiping his nose, Xiaoguding said with a smile, "I hope I can find the immortals as soon as possible and report safety to the shopkeeper as soon as possible."
"Cough! How do you say that you are a child? Is it worth it for that ethereal thing? But I hope you can be careful outside and stop making your bones look like today. Outside, if a person is sick, it will be very troublesome, you know?"
Xiao Guding nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa, I will remember." Even if he doesn't remind him, Xiaoguding will remember it in his heart. Have you ever suffered less when you were wandering before? However, if you get used to it, you will rarely catch a cold. This time, I just forgot for a moment and forgot that I haven't been out for two years.
"Grandpa, are you alone now?" Xiaoguding asked curiously that he had never seen anyone look like a relative of his grandfather until now.
"Yes, Grandpa is alone. It's just that I have been reluctant to close this pharmacy over the years. No, in two years, I will also go to my son-in-law's house to enjoy my happiness. Looking at this pharmacy, the old man is full of memories.
Xiao Guding spit out his tongue: "For good, you didn't go to the shopkeeper's enjoyment a few years ago, or Xiaoguding would have suffered it!"
The old man laughed again and said, "So, we are predestined!" Speaking of this, the old man looked up and down at the little bone, "You guy, you don't say anything when your feet are blistered!"
said, he went in and boiled a bucket of water and came out. "There is vinegar in it. You can soak it first. I'll give you some cool medicine later. You child, it's really hard for you!" Slowly, I went to find a few medicinal drugs and crush them slowly.
"Thank you, Grandpa, I'm afraid of your jokes!" Xiaoguding said shyly.
The old man said funnyly, "For this, are you going to suffer like this? Little guy, do you have such a good face at such a young age?
"Of course, isn't it? Doesn't the play say that people want face and skin, and they can't live without face!"
"Little devil, it's not bad, I know this. But grandpa tells you that sometimes it's important not to be ashamed, or what else is there to be ashamed of your life? Of course, this also depends on the situation, just like what you just said is not worth it!"
Xiao Guding grabbed his scalp and said with a red face, "I also know this, but sometimes I'm embarrassed!"
The old man laughed again and pointed to Xiaoguding: "You naughty will also be embarrassed. Why don't they feel embarrassed to deceive your Uncle Sanniu and my son-in-law?"
Xiaoguding said awkwardly, "This is familiar to everyone!"
The old man stroked his white beard: "It's okay. Just treat this as if you were in a restaurant. Grandpa likes you tightly, and you don't have to be embarrassed."
"I also think grandpa is very kind, just like my own grandpa!"
"You are the only one who can flatter! Tell me about your own grandfather?"
Speaking of this, Xiaoguding's eyes turned red again and he stopped talking.
"Okay, don't say it if you don't say it. Don't be unhappy." Seeing that the little bone was unhappy, the white-haired old man quickly comforted him. Everyone had his own sad past, just like his wife. Alas, it's time to accompany her in a few years. Thinking about it, the old man also became sad.
The next day, Xiaoguding was idle and learned to play with the old man. As a result, the old man became energetic and explained some of the main medicinal materials to Xiaoguding in detail. Xiaoguding felt quite fresh, so he listened carefully on the side.
Seeing Xiaoguding listening carefully, the old man's interest also became higher. In addition to introducing a few major herbs, he also elaborated on the growth shape of those herbs one by one and found a book of medicinal materials for him.
Xiaoguding took the thick medicine book and looked through those strange patterns. He didn't know the words. I don't know how much he heard what the old man said.
Later, I looked at it and felt really tasteless, because there were many herbs on it, but I couldn't understand what they did. Xiaoguding interrupted the old man's explanation: "Grandpa, what are the medicinal materials you mentioned in the book? I look familiar with it, but I can't name it!"
The old man was stunned when he heard it. It's not in vain to say it for so long! He quickly took over the book and carefully talked about the common herbs. When he heard the herbs to cure colds and knife wounds, Xiao Guding asked carefully several times.
But I forgot a lot in a flash! After tossing the old man's interest, he sighed and said, "Xiao Guding, you'd better work with me for a year or two. Grandpa will teach you how to read. You have to walk outside. It's very troublesome if you can't read. In many places, they can't understand what you say, and you can't understand what they say. Then you will become like a blind man!"
Xiao Guding smiled and said, "It's not as serious as Grandpa said. I won't learn to read from you. I'm bored to death!" Thinking of a few years ago, the shopkeeper wanted to teach him to learn calligraphy. This boy was always thinking of a way to run away. Until now, Xiaoguding only knows his own name and one to ten numbers!
The old man shook his head helplessly: "Well, you can remember these herbs first! In the future, if you encounter minor problems outside, you can also take some medicine by yourself. This boy doesn't want to change if he doesn't suffer a little loss outside. When he comes back one year, he may think of learning these things.
In this way, Xiaoguding rested in the pharmacy for three days. In my spare time, I asked the old man for some cold, golden medicine and some anti-snake herbs. Not to mention, in three days, Xiaoguding really wrote down dozens of herbs!
What's more funny is that this guy found a relatively Pu paper, drew the shape of herbs in the pattern on the herbal book, and drew a long snake or poisonous bee on it, which made the old man laugh and cry! Let him fool around.
After three days, the bubble on his feet has finally healed, and it's time for Xiaoguding to go on the road again. This time, he added some medicinal materials and a few pages of drawings in his package.
In the reluctant eyes of the old man in the pharmacy, Xiaoguding once again embarked on his road of chasing immortals without looking back.
