Xie Wan's heart skipped a beat.
She already knew that the set of silver needles belonged to Xu Chunfu, a great doctor in the Ming Dynasty.
She must be reluctant to change it back.
"Comrade, we have already completed the transaction. Now you want to change it back. Isn't that bad?"
The young man was about to cry: “Comrade, I have no other choice.
If I don’t change it back, my dad will beat me to death.”
Xie Wan was a little unhappy: “Why didn’t you think it through when you sold it?
I also asked if you could make the decision.”
The young man said with a sad face: "This is my grandfather's legacy, and it is usually kept away. How could I have thought that my father would check it?"
Xie Wan didn't want to return it, so she deliberately said, "I've already given this needle to someone else, and I can't do anything about it."
The young man was like a deflated ball, completely wilted: "It's over, it's over..."
Xie Wan felt a little reluctant, but she really liked that set of needles.
According to the young man, it is usually put aside in his home, so it might as well be given to her.
Just then, a man in his forties walked out of the Chinese medicine hall.
"Xu Huairen, why are you running out instead of working properly?"
The young man grabbed Xie Wan again in panic, pointed at Xie Wan and said to the middle-aged man:
"Dad, it was this female comrade who exchanged our silver needle."
Xie Wan was a little embarrassed, but she didn't steal or rob, it was just a normal transaction, so there was no reason for her to feel guilty.
When the middle-aged man heard that it was Xie Wan who replaced the silver needles, he immediately walked over quickly and said anxiously: "Miss, please return the set of silver needles to us."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Xie Wan.
"Uncle, you don't have to do this." Xie Wan was very embarrassed.
The middle-aged man introduced himself: "My name is Xu Xingbai, and I am a Chinese medicine practitioner.
That set of silver needles was passed down from my ancestors and cannot be sold under any circumstances.
Girl, I'll add twenty dollars, can you give it back to us?"
Xie Wan was still reluctant, but she had already understood that the middle-aged man in front of her was probably the descendant of Xu Chunfu.
It doesn't seem very fair to force someone to keep their heirloom.
Xie Wan hesitated and said, “Uncle Xu, I want to learn acupuncture, and I finally found this set of silver needles.
I really don’t want to change back.”
When Xu Xingbai heard that Xie Wan wanted to learn acupuncture, her eyes lit up.
Western medicine has become popular in recent years, and there are very few people who want to learn Chinese medicine.
"Girl, have you studied Chinese medicine?"
"Well, I've been teaching myself."
"I am a Chinese medicine doctor. Miss, if you don't mind, can you come back to the pharmacy with me and talk to me?"
Xie Wan had been reading books in the space all the time and had accumulated a lot of questions. When he heard Xu Xingbai say this, he was of course happy.
After returning to the pharmacy, the two of them sat on either side of the consultation table.
Some old neighbors still believe in traditional Chinese medicine, and Xu Xingbai occasionally comes here to see patients.
"Girl, let's not talk about the silver needle set for now. Can I ask what level you have reached in self-study?"
Xie Wan listed all the books he had read.
Xu Xingbai asked a few questions to make sure that she had really read these books.
"I would like to ask you, when did you start learning Chinese medicine?"
Xie Wan said a little embarrassedly: "I only studied veterinary medicine before. It was only in the past two months that I found these books and became fascinated by them."
The light in Xu Xingbai's eyes became brighter.
He asked tentatively: "Girl, are you still a student? Where are you from?"
Xie Wan was afraid that people would chase her to ask for the silver needle, so she refused to say anything.
Xu Xingbai realized that Xie Wan had misunderstood, so she explained, “Girl, don’t be afraid.
I just want to ask you, do you want to learn Chinese medicine from me?"
Xie Wan opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dislocated.
Is there such a good thing?
She has been working on her own and just needs a master to guide her. And this master recommends himself and comes to her?
Xu Chunfu’s descendants must have good medical skills. It’s her fault that she is unwilling to do so.
Without saying a word, Xie Wan reached into his bag and actually took out the needle box from the space and presented it with both hands.
"If you are willing to take me as your apprentice and teach me Chinese medicine, I will return this needle box intact."
Xu Xingbai said with a smile: "Okay, you take the needle box first, in case you think I'm lying to you.
Once I teach you the real skills, it won’t be too late for you to return them to me.”
Xie Wan suddenly felt that Xu Xingbai was a very open-minded person.
She promised: "Master, I will definitely keep this set of silver needles well.
I want to learn acupuncture now, so I’d like to borrow it first.
I will return it to you when I find a replacement."
Xu Xingbai also thinks that Xie Wan is a good kid.
Xu Huairen had been eavesdropping quietly at the counter.
Hearing this, he couldn't help it, jumped over, pointed at Xie Wan and said, "You liar, you just lied to me that you gave the silver needle away!"
Xie Wan felt a little embarrassed when his lie was exposed in front of him.
Xu Xingbai stood up, kicked Xu Huairen on the knee, and cursed: "You prodigal son, you dare to sell even the things left by our ancestors!
If it weren't for... Hey, apprentice, I still don't know your name?"
"Master, my name is Xie Wan, you can just call me Xiao Wan."
Xie Wan saw Xu Huairen kneeling on the ground after being kicked by his father, facing him, so he helped him up and said politely, "Brother, how can I let you perform such a big ceremony for me?"
Xu Huairen slapped Xie Wan's hand away and spat with deep resentment: "Who saluted you? Don't call me Senior Brother!"
Xie Wan stood up and looked at Xu Xingbai. Xu Xingbai kicked his son with his toes with disgust and cursed:
