209 Master and Apprentice Plan

"Master, what's going on?"

Sun Sicheng pointed to a stool on the side and motioned him to sit down and talk.

"Ping An, the general sent a letter to your uncle two days ago, saying that the war will intensify from March, and it is hard to predict what will happen next. He hopes your uncle will come over to help him and take care of the young military doctors. He will leave with the military at the end of the month.

Ping An, the general also mentioned me and hoped that I would go there too. To be honest, I was tempted. The battlefield is the best place to train people, and my set of surgical tools have not really come into play yet.

But the master also has his own difficulties. Such a big business as Baicaotang is basically in the hands of me alone, and there are two or three thousand people following me who need to feed me. I dare not just leave. In this respect, I am not as good as your uncle.

Also, even if I hide this from my family, Baicaotang has arranged for someone to manage the business. It's useless for me to go alone. I have to take you with me. You are more talented than me in surgery and you are more stable, but you are still a child, and your parents will not agree."

Ping An frowned: "Master, is it really that great? I mean the war."

Sun Sicheng nodded and said, "If the general was not powerful, he would not have written such a letter to your uncle and would not have urged him to come.

Ping An, are you willing to stay with Master at the Military Medical Department for a year or two? At most a year. Master wants to practice knife skills, which are difficult to master in the medical hall. If we work together, we can save more people. "

Ping An handed over a stack of drawings: "Master, this is an improved distiller. It should be much better than the previous one."

"Oh, let me see." Sun Sicheng became excited. The amount of alcohol in each military camp had to be increased. He would ask Wang Chun and others to set off for Jiangnan in the next two days. He had already made several distillers, and he would bring three or four of them this time.

Ping An explained in detail to the master while Sun Sicheng nodded continuously.

"Ping An, this will definitely work. Let's go find Blacksmith Li today. We don't need to make the old style one for now."

"Master, the mansion has tried it. Can I take Lin Feng back to his hometown during this time and help him move his parents to Tianguang Temple? This has always been a concern for him."

"Moving the tomb? Around the Qingming Festival, that's a good time. Well, I also want to go see the old abbot, so I'll go with you."

Lin Feng is a good kid, and we really need to help him solve this little mental problem.

"Master, I will talk to him right now. If he agrees, we can set off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Ping An left as soon as he said that.

It's April 20th now. If we don't accommodate now, we'll have to wait until October, but they may not be free by then.

The college entrance examination will be held in a few years, and we don’t know how the war will turn out, so we might as well take advantage of it now. It will only take more than ten days to go back and forth.

Looking at the little disciple's receding back, Sun Sicheng remembered that he had not yet answered the question of whether he was willing to go to the border with him.

Are you unwilling?

Sun Sicheng was a little discouraged. No matter how hard he tried, his apprentice was better than him in surgery. He had to admit it. Talent was talent. No matter how hard he tried in the future, he would always be inferior to him.

If he went alone, the effect would be much worse, but if Ping An didn't want to go, he wouldn't force him.

Ping'an was in mixed feelings at this time. On the one hand, he wanted to stay and study with his teacher. Having won the first place twice, he also wanted to get a small third place.

But it is not easy to get the first place in the college examination.

He didn't expect to encounter war so early here. He was only twelve years old at the end of August. His parents would probably not agree to go to the front line like this, right?

Especially my mother. Even though she has Xier now, she still thinks a lot about him. Any movement on his part is a big deal to her.

My biological father is fine, just keep it a secret. It’s been almost three years since we last saw him, and it seems like he’s doing well in the workplace.

Of course, his son also helped him, as his father's increasingly corny letters showed his inner love for his son.

In the past two years, his father has been urging him to go to the capital, but he is unwilling. Both sides have their own families, so it is enough for them to communicate occasionally. As for meeting in person, they can talk about it later.

Lin Feng thought that he would go to Medicine Valley with the young master in the next few days, but now he heard that his parents and grandmother’s graves were to be relocated, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"You've been following me for more than three years. I happen to be free now. If you're willing, we can leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll have less and less free time in the future."

Lin Feng nodded. He was speechless. It had always been his wish to move his parents to his grandfather's place. After being away for such a long time, he also wanted to go back and see his grandfather the abbot.

"Well, I've discussed it with Master and Sensei, and we'll try to leave within these two days."

My husband went out with Uncle Ming early in the morning. I don’t know what they were going to do. If he really goes to the front line, the people who will be most opposed to it besides his parents will be my husband.

So, even if I really go, it won’t be at the end of the month. That would be too rushed and many things wouldn’t be arranged properly.

Lin Feng’s matter alone took more than ten days.

He cannot be absent during the development of the new distiller. If Blacksmith Li asks anything, he must be told. This is also very important.

Mother has to explain it to her slowly and not let her get excited. It's better to keep it secret for the time being, but stepfather has to let him know what's going on.

When Sun Wen came back in the evening, he heard Ping An talk about Lin Feng's matter. It was difficult to refuse this matter as he had agreed to it that year.

"Ping An, although the college entrance examination will be held in three years, the master hopes that you will give it your all in the next few years. It would be best if you could go to the provincial school. As for medicine, you have learned it well. You can come to the medical hall during holidays or vacations. Let's strive for the third place."

"Sir, Master said the war is really fierce, right? Will the school still be open as usual?"

Sun Wen sighed, "We are in the middle, far from the southwest and the border town, so it won't easily affect here. If it really affects us, you still have the teacher, and the teacher will teach you."

"Sir, what if, I mean what if, I go to the North with my master for a year or half a year, what do you think?"

Sun Wen's face darkened: "Did your master mention this to you? Ping An, you are still young. Your master is good in other aspects, but he is a medical idiot. If he wants to practice surgery, let him do it. You are still a child.

You had already agreed to Lin Feng's family affairs before. He has no other relatives except you, so you can go. Your uncle can also become a military doctor, but your most important thing now is to study.

Why don't you study when you're young? Why do you have to wait until I'm this old? I'm telling you, I was also very good at studying when I was young, but now it's much harder. No, I'll go find your master."

Ping An didn't care how his master and husband argued. As things happened one after another, he hurried to inform Er Qiang, Xiao Wu and Da Wu that they had to go together.

This time when Yangcheng comes back, it’s time to pick up Qingshi and the others. He misses them too.

As for the border town matter, he still wants to accompany his master on a trip. After three years, he will take the entrance exam, so it would be okay for him to go out for a year, right?
