The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"Xie Lingbai."

"what?"

Xie Lingbai looked at Wen Changheng, only to see him slowly spit out two words: "Dirty."

Xie Lingbai was speechless, staring at this guy carefully for a while, how could a person say these strange words so calmly every time, without changing his face at all.

"What's dirty? Is it dirty to take a mandarin duck/bath? No, I don't want to take a mandarin duck/bath with you at all. I said it was a misunderstanding just now. You can soak it slowly!"

Xie Lingbai got up and walked out, completely forgetting why he rushed in just now, all he knew in his mind was that the atmosphere would become more and more weird if he continued to stay.

After I got back to my room, I realized that I hadn't discussed the wage increase yet. I lay on the bed a little tired, thinking seriously about the future.

It is also impossible for him to stay in Wen Mansion for the rest of his life. After all, he still has Xie Jinqing with him. He can't let Xie Jinqing grow up to be the current person.

Before, I only focused on studying medicine and went to the palace to find out the truth, but what if it turns out that it has nothing to do with the imperial physician in the palace?Or after finding out, what should I do?

Maybe after he learns, he can become a doctor in another town, at least it is impossible in Xixia City. Even if he opens a medical clinic, no one will dare to come to his door.

Xie Lingbai began to regret what she had done before. If she didn't offend so many people, then she might be able to find a few more jobs now. After all, Yucaoxuan can get off work in the evening, and she can work again at night. share.

But it's useless to regret now.

Early the next morning, Xie Lingbai got up and helped Xie Jinqing get dressed. After washing up, the two of them ate some breakfast casually, and then sent Xie Jinqing to school. He had been sick for a few days and took several days off.

"Brother, I don't want to go to school."

Xie Jinqing has always liked going to school, and never said such a thing, Xie Lingbai was a little puzzled: "Why don't you want to go?"

"I... I just don't want to learn characters anymore, I find it very annoying, brother, don't send me to school."

"Nonsense, where can you go if you don't go to the school? Besides, you obviously liked what the master taught before, why do you suddenly not like it now?"

Xie Jinqing bowed his head and refused to speak, Xie Lingbai knelt down to be level with him, looked at him and asked seriously: "Xiao Jin, tell me carefully, are those bastards in the school bullying you? If yes, brother go help You beat me!"

"No, I just don't want to go..."

"Look up at me."

Xie Jinqing reluctantly raised his head to look at Xie Lingbai, Xie Lingbai asked: "Just look into my eyes like this and tell me if you like the school?"

"Brother..." Xie Jinqing's eyes were a little red, and her voice was a little choked up. Xie Lingbai knew that he definitely didn't dislike him, but why did he suddenly refuse to go?

"Xiao Jin, my parents are gone, you are my only relative in this world, if you refuse to tell me the truth, then I will be very sad."

"I heard from sister Xiaorui that my brother went to Yucaoxuan to do odd jobs."

"so what?"

"Brother works so hard to make money, I don't want to..."

Xie Ling understood, "You think the school fees are too expensive, don't you?"

Xie Jinqing nodded, Xie Lingbai suddenly felt distressed, a seven-year-old child had to worry so much, in the end it was him, the big brother, who was useless.

"Fool, I did go to Yucaoxuan, not to do miscellaneous work, but I want to revive the Xie Family Medical Center after studying medicine well to comfort the spirits of my parents in heaven. There are countless medicinal materials in Yucaoxuan. I went there just to Just for learning."

"Really?"

"Of course, I study there, and Boss Wen doesn't charge tuition fees, so I have to help out and do what I can. I can't accept others' favors for nothing, right?"

Xie Jinqing nodded, "Father said that if others treat us well, we should also treat others well."

"That's it. Boss Wen saw that I was helping there, and he would pay me a monthly fee. In this way, I can learn and make money at the same time. It's the best of both worlds."

"Xiao Jin also wants to make money."

"Silly boy, you are only seven years old. At your age, you should learn from your master in the school. When we Xiaojin grow up, we will go to the imperial city to take the exam and come back, and then let my brother follow him. How about it? "

"Well, I must study hard and take the number one exam."

"Hey, let's go, brother will take you to school."

Xie Lingbai stood up, took Xie Jinqing's little hand and walked out. Xie Jinqing sniffled, but did not refuse, and the two left the Wen residence together.

Xie Jinqing was sent to the school first, and then Xie Lingbai turned around and went to Yucaoxuan. The long-term workers in Yucaoxuan saw that Xie Lingbai had come again, and they all wondered in their hearts when the devil in chaos would go on strike.

Xie Lingbai still had a medical book in his arms. Every time he finished his work, he would take out the medical book and read it when he had time. If he didn't understand something, he would go to the counter and circle it with a brush to mark it. If you have a chance in the future, you can ask the doctor.

Wen Changheng didn't come to Yucaoxuan every day, so most of the time Xie Lingbai walked back by himself. At first it felt far away, but after walking back, his feet hurt at night, but after a long time, he got used to it.

After about five or six days, Wen Changheng came to the shop again, and Xie Lingbai was sorting the herbs that were accidentally knocked over by others just now.

"Master, you are here!"

Seeing Wen Changheng, Xie Lingbai yelled loudly, and when he heard several people around him muttering that he loves flattering, he didn't smile and didn't refute, just thinking that it was still morning, and he didn't know how long Wen Changheng would stay in the shop, If he could stay until the evening, then he could ride the carriage again.

Wen Changheng ignored him, Uncle Gu took a booklet and handed it to Wei Ze who was beside Wen Changheng, and said: "There are a lot of medicinal materials needed this time, why don't the boss bring more people to help?"

"also may."

Seeing Wen Changheng walking out, Uncle Gu told Xie Lingbai, "Xiao Xie, you can go with the boss."

"Where?"

"Go to Yu Village to pick up medicinal materials."

Xie Lingbai didn't understand much, but since he was asked to help, he didn't ask any more questions, and walked outside, then climbed into the carriage.

Seeing Wen Changheng looking at him after getting in the car, he explained: "Uncle Gu asked me to come and help."

Wei Ze didn't hear Wen Changheng's answer on the shaft of the chariot, thinking it was acquiescence, he drove the carriage towards the gate of the city, Xie Lingbai lifted the curtain to look at it, and said doubtfully: "Master, how long will it take to arrive at Yu?" village?"

"One day."

"so long?"

Wouldn't it be that he would be in this carriage all day, so he might as well help out in the shop, anyway, the range of activities is slightly larger.

After sitting for a while, he felt a little bored, so he took out the medical book in his arms. This is the one he bought himself, and he has read more than half of it in the past few days.

It's not that he's slow to read, it's just too difficult to understand.

Wen Changheng saw a lot of marks on his book, but didn't say anything. He thought Xie Lingbai said that he wanted to study medicine just on a whim, but he didn't expect to persist for so many days.

At noon they stopped in the woods for a rest, ate some dry food, and then continued on their way.

"Master, can you understand medical books?"

"I'm not a doctor."

"Seeing so many medical books in your study, I thought you had read them all. Ah, these are really difficult. I can't understand many parts. Uncle Gu just knows more about medicinal materials."

Xie Lingbai was a little distressed, there was no one around him who knew medical skills, alas, it was all his fault that he refused to study seriously before, otherwise it would not have been so painful.

How will he pass the imperial physician selection meeting next year?

"master!"

At this time, Wei Ze, who was sitting outside, suddenly yelled in a low voice, his voice sounded a little serious, and then there were some fighting sounds.

"what's the situation?"

Xie Lingbai put the medical book aside, then opened the curtain of the car, but just as he opened it, a flaming arrow flew towards him and shot directly at the carriage.

Xie Lingbai was taken aback. He saw Wei Ze fighting with a few men in black in front of him. He remembered those people who went to Wen's mansion to kill him before, and wondered if these people were the same as those last time what?

"Master, get out of the carriage quickly, it's on fire!"

A few more arrows shot over one after another, and the arrows were all on fire. Xie Lingbai and Wen Changheng got out of the carriage, and the carriage was on fire after a while. Ling Bai said: "You go first!"

After speaking, he stepped forward to block those men in black again, Xie Lingbai climbed on the horse's back, and then said to Wen Changheng: "Get on the horse!"

Wen Changheng glanced at Wei Ze, and then got on his horse and sat behind Xie Lingbai. The two of them rode forward together on the same horse. A man in black wanted to catch up, but was pierced by the sword kicked by Wei Ze. chest.

However, another man in black shot an arrow in the direction of Xie Lingbai and the others. The arrow slashed across the horse's leg. The horse roared because of the pain, and then began to run around.

"Oops, the horse is out of control!"

Xie Lingbai couldn't hold on to the rope, and almost broke free. Fortunately, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed the rope together. Although he didn't fall off, the horse still couldn't control it.

"There's a fork ahead."

Seeing that there were two roads ahead, Xie Lingbai reminded him, and Wen Changheng replied, "The left side..."

Xie Lingbai heard that he wanted the horse to run to the left, but it was obvious that the current horse refused to listen to his command at all, and chose the right path directly after rushing over.

"Damn, what should I do if I made a mistake?"

However, even if he knew the direction was wrong, he could only watch it go wrong. Now that the crazy horse was running very fast, it would be dangerous to jump off rashly.

I don't know how far I ran, and gradually a village appeared not far in front of me. The horse rushed in directly towards the gate of the village. After kicking over several braziers on the ground and knocking over a table, Xie Ling on horseback Bai and Wen Changheng were also thrown down.

"Oh, I fell to death!"

Xie Lingbai yelled, but when she stood up, she found that the surrounding scene seemed a bit strange. There were more than a dozen braziers placed in this open space, forming a circle, and the overturned table in the middle was full of steamed buns, fruits and joss sticks. .

The most important thing is that now they are surrounded by a group of people, and that group of people seems to be a bit vicious.

"Who are you? How dare you interrupt the sacrifice!"

The leader shouted, Xie Lingbai turned to look at Wen Changheng beside him, and said in a low voice, "Master, what's going on?"

Wen Changheng didn't speak, but his expression was obviously not very good. The people around him seemed to be ordinary villagers. It was only then that Xie Lingbai realized that there was a girl tied to the pillar behind them.

"Help... help me..."

The girl murmured weakly, Xie Lingbai looked at the group of villagers in puzzlement, and asked, "Why are you tying her up?"

"She is a sacrifice."

"What sacrifice?"

"Of course it's for the mountain god, but you two people who don't know how to live and die dare to interrupt such an important sacrifice. Once the sacrifice is interrupted, the sacrifice will lose its effect and have to be replaced."

"Brother Wang, I think we should use him as a sacrifice!"

"That's right, he rushed in on a horse, let him be sacrificed!"

The group of people gradually approached, Xie Lingbai just wanted to ask what the sacrifice was, but a net was put on his head and he was directly caught.

"What are you doing?"

Those people didn't explain, and directly took the rope and tied him with the net. Xie Lingbai was a little annoyed: "What the hell are you lunatics doing? Let me go!"

Seeing that they were dragging him to tie him to the other side of the pillar, Xie Lingbai asked for help to Wen Changheng who was watching the play: "Wen Changheng, help me, you should think of a way, now is not the time to stand there and watch the play ah!"

Wen Changheng looked at the leader and asked, "What do you mean by offering sacrifices to the mountain god?"

"Nothing to do with you!"

The tone of those people was very bad. At this time, the woman who was tied to the pillar said: "A few days ago, the village head and a few villagers went to the mountain to hunt, and soon after they came back, they started to go crazy, like being possessed by evil spirits. He fell unconscious, and the old man said that he had offended Lord Mountain God, so..."

"That's why I'm going to burn you to death?"

Xie Lingbai felt a little speechless, the woman nodded, Xie Lingbai had already been tied up in a short time, he struggled a bit, but did not break free.

Come on, now not only will this woman be burned to death, but he will be buried with her too!

"ignition!"

"Wait a minute..."

Wen Changheng stopped him, and those people looked at him with displeasure and said, "What? You want to be tied up too? We don't mind one more sacrifice, maybe the more mountain gods you have, the happier you will be."

"That's right, if you talk nonsense again, we'll tie you up together!"

Xie Lingbai rolled her eyes, it seemed that Wen Changheng was unreliable, did she really want to die young?No, if he died, what would Xiao Jin do!

But what else can I do now?I don't know if Wei Ze can hurry over here?

No, they ran in the wrong direction just now, Wei Ze didn't know, maybe they were rushing towards Yu Village now.

It seems to be dead!

"Just now the girl said that the village head and several villagers are now unconscious. Have you ever thought about it, if they wake up and realize that their lives were bought with the lives of others, what will happen?"

Facing their questioning, Wen Changheng asked something irrelevant.

"Exchanging two lives for a dozen lives is worth it!"

"What if there is a better way?"

Those people looked at each other, and the leader asked: "What way?"

"He's a doctor, why don't you ask him to treat the village chief and the others, maybe he can be cured?!"

Wen Changheng's words were referring to Xie Lingbai, Xie Lingbai was stunned, thinking what kind of doctor he was, he just read medical books for a few days and recognized some medicinal materials, how could he see a doctor!

"Impossible, Dr. Chen is helpless with his superb medical skills, let alone this brat!"

"Every doctor is good at something different. Anyway, you don't lose anything just to see you. If he can't cure the village chief and the others, it won't be too late to burn him to death."

The villagers discussed in a low voice, and seemed to be a little moved by Wen Changheng's proposal. After a while, the leader said, "Okay, I'll trust you once. If he can't be cured, not only will he die, but you will also have to be buried with him."

Wen Changheng was noncommittal, several strong men stepped forward and loosened Xie Lingbai's rope, Xie Lingbai took off the net by himself, and then looked at Wen Changheng speechlessly, what kind of trick is this, let him go to treat the disease, Isn't this tantamount to death!

"Do you really think I can heal people?"

Xie Lingbai walked in front of Wen Changheng, and couldn't help but ask such a question, Wen Changheng nodded and said: "Doctor Xie has rejuvenated, of course I believe it."

Seeing Wen Changheng say this with a calm face, those people had doubts about Xie Lingbai at first, but now they suddenly had some expectations, wondering if this person is really powerful? !

Xie Lingbai twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that this deal must be a loss, and it would have been enough to kill him, but now it's all right, just buy one and get one free, so should he be glad that he has a companion on Huangquan Road later? !
