Zhao Jincheng saw Ni'er staring at the medicine in a daze and thought she was tired.

After all, he is still a child and his physical strength is definitely not as good as that of an adult.

"You go and rest for a while, I'll take care of the rest."

Ni'er realized that her master had misunderstood, and she felt warm at heart.

I thought that if it was my grandma, she would definitely beat and scold me, and say all kinds of nasty things.

Although I was still young at that time and my mind was not so clear, I still remember how she scolded Xiu Li.

Because Xiuli accidentally spilled some water while carrying water, the old lady asked her to stretch out her hand, picked up a wooden stick and started hitting her hand.

"You are so sneaky, you thought you wouldn't have to carry such a heavy load if you spilled the water. How could you deceive me with your little trick? You bastard, go fetch more water until the jar is full."

Xiuli didn't dare to say anything at that time, otherwise she would be beaten even harder. The thin wooden stick passed through the air again and again, and the whistling sound echoed in her ears, followed by the sound of hitting her flesh.

Ni'er hid aside and watched Xiu Li frowning. When the wooden stick fell on her hand, she shrank back and dared not shed tears, for fear that she would become like that in the future.

If the family had not split up, I would be like this now. I am grateful to God for blessing me and allowing me to meet such a good master. After leaving the home with my grandmother, I can still find a way to make money.

He smiled at his master and said, "I'm not tired. I'm just rolling some pills. It's just my normal job. Besides, there's no reason for me to let you do all the work."

Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er's smile and found that she really didn't look tired and was quite energetic.

Even so, there is enough work to do. Which child of this age doesn't play with a bunch of friends? Ni'er works every day, which has worn away her childish temper. She should have been innocent and naive, but now she speaks and acts like an adult.

I sighed silently, maybe this is a good thing, at least I can support myself and have a skill, there are gains and losses.

"Rest if you are tired. Otherwise, you will get sick easily. Don't try to be strong."

Nier was anxious to prove herself, so she stood up straight, put her hands on her hips, and tilted her head left and right. She had two buns on her head tied with red ropes, which swayed with her movements, and was very pleasing to look at.

"I'm really not trying to be brave. Master, let's finish the rest of the work together."

Zhao Jincheng saw that Ni'er was full of energy and indeed not tired at all. She was much more energetic than himself. He couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. The child seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

"Okay, there's not much work left, let's do it together."

Ni'er was very happy to get her master's permission. When Zhao Jincheng saw the smile on Ni'er's face getting bigger and bigger, he felt relieved and thought that his decision was correct.

Finally, the pills were rubbed and the medicine soup was cooled to a temperature that was almost suitable for consumption.

The two men fed the old man some medicine and walked out of his tent, feeling a little sore in the waist and back.

Zhao Jincheng and Ni'er stretched at the same time and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Master, how can you learn from me?"

"I didn't learn from you. You learned from me first."

"You were obviously the one who learned from me first. You are such a smart learner."

"I'm not, you are."

Ni'er was amused by her master's reaction. Why was he acting like a little child?

It's getting dark and I'm hungry. At this moment, I really want to have a big meal and then have a good sleep. It would be the happiest thing in the world.

The master and his disciple walked to the place where food was served, where people who had close contact with the disease received their meals.

Obviously, there are more people here than at noon.

Zhao Jincheng looked at these people with a dim look in his eyes. He took out some homemade pills and gave them to them, thinking it would be best if they did not get sick.

This disease is extremely dangerous. Not only does the medicine have to be effective, but the body also has to be able to withstand it. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Ni'er didn't think too much and was completely attracted by the smell of rice. She took a deep breath, and the aroma of rice floating in the air diluted the smell of Chinese medicine in her nose.

My stomach started to growl. I was already hungry, and now I was even hungrier. I couldn't help drooling. I didn't dare to talk to my master, for fear that as soon as I opened my mouth, saliva would flow out like a waterfall.

He stared at the big steamer in front of him, hoping that it would be his turn soon.

The people in front of him took their food and walked away. He got closer and closer to the big steamer, and the smile on his face gradually widened.

I received a bowl of porridge and some dry food, exactly the same as what I had at noon.

Ni'er didn't think it was a big deal. She didn't have to dig wild vegetables or cook by herself. It was good enough to have something to eat. Besides, she had only eaten a little full in the past few months. She had never eaten full before. It was already very good to have a meal.

Zhao Jincheng was a little uncomfortable with it. Usually he liked to eat delicious food with novel styles. It was a little hard to swallow the same choking dry food with no taste every day.

Ni'er ate happily, chewing the dry food one bite after another. If she felt like choking, she would drink some porridge to help it go down.

I glanced at my master, who was eating in a disjointed manner. This food was definitely not something my master was used to eating, it was really unfair to him.

He leaned close to the master's ear and whispered, "Master, let's go back and eat. We won't eat here."

Although Zhao Jincheng didn't understand what his little apprentice was thinking, he was still willing to do as he was told and stood up to go back.

Nier followed him, "Master, don't you even ask why?"

Zhao Jincheng looked down at Ni'er, with some smile lines in the corners of his eyes, "As long as my apprentice is happy, why ask so many questions? It's such a small matter, why can't I agree to it?"

Ni'er was very happy. Although it was just a small thing, she was very happy. If it were her grandmother, she would not even be able to open her mouth.

"What if it's a big deal?"

Zhao Jincheng's face turned serious.

"How big is it?"

Nier held the dry food in her mouth, pinched the edge of the bowl with one hand, and made a circle with both hands.

He mumbled, "So big, very big, extraordinarily big."

Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, he kept his face straight and didn't let his expression relax, because he didn't want his little disciple to think that he was joking or just trying to please her.

"As long as it doesn't violate the law, I can agree to anything you ask for."

Ni'er was so happy that she became a little too proud of herself and laughed so hard that her dry food fell to the ground.

I couldn't laugh anymore for a moment.

I bent down to pick up some dry food, but saw a pair of clean and delicate hands in front of me, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance. The master's voice came from above my head, "I'll give you mine, don't take the things that fell on the ground."

Nier thought it was a waste, so she picked it up anyway.
