Chapter 146 She wasn't in the mountains.
Su Xiao looked terrified and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, I only gave him a prescription, and it's not even for his illness. It needs to be modified by Master to be effective. I should thank Master for the credit, it has nothing to do with me."
She doesn't have that much face.
"Hehe, little one, you're too modest. Without your recipe, this old man wouldn't have any way to modify it." Old Man Hua's slightly cloudy eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He had long seen that this young man had his precious apprentice in his eyes. The two of them were a perfect match, and the old man was happy to see them get together.
"What Elder Hua said is true, Xiao Xiao, thank you." Shang Ziming nodded in agreement, his gaze towards Su Xiao becoming even more ardent.
"Of course, I will always be grateful for Elder Hua's kindness to me."
"Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty as doctors, so you don't need to worry about it too much."
"Yes, yes."
"Ha ha……"
Su Xiao listened to their conversation silently, only to find it rather dull.
"Then, Master, when will you treat him?" Su Xiao asked the most important question.
"Well, we're still missing a few herbs. We do have some in the mountains. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, let's go for a walk in the mountains," Old Man Hua discussed with Shang Zimu.
Shang Ziming naturally agreed, nodding, "Okay, I'll come earlier tomorrow."
"Me too!" Su Xiao's eyes lit up instantly when she heard about going into the mountains, and she raised her hand eagerly.
Old Man Hua frowned and shook his head. "Forget about you. There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains, as well as wild boars and wolves. It's very dangerous. Little girl, don't go and suffer like that."
Actually, learning to collect and identify medicinal herbs should be part of learning medicine, but after thinking about it, Old Man Hua still felt it was unnecessary. Little Xiao looked delicate, and it would be the same if he collected the herbs and let her identify them.
If Su Xiao knew what Old Man Hua was thinking, she would definitely regret that she always acted too much like a lady, worrying about her image and never showing her fierce side.
"I'm not afraid," Su Xiao immediately declared, her eyes unwavering.
She had wanted to go to the back mountain for a long time, but unfortunately she hadn't found the opportunity yet. Every time she went to the back mountain, that little girl Tianniu would always follow her or come looking for her. She couldn't go without her, and if she did, she could forget about going to the deep mountains.
Now that she has such a good opportunity, how could she let it slip by?
Seeing her hesitation, Old Man Hua still advised, "Little Xiao, we're going there to gather herbs. It's been raining these past few days, and even if it doesn't rain tomorrow, the mountain paths will definitely be muddy. It's really not suitable for you to go. When the weather is better, we'll go alone, and your master will teach you how to dig for herbs, how about that?"
Old Man Hua's words were truly heartfelt and showed great consideration.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao realized that it might be inconvenient for her to come along, and although she was disappointed, she still nodded.
Shang Ziming's eyes flickered slightly, and he assured her, "I'll take you there when the weather is better, how about that?"
Seeing their reaction, Su Xiao couldn't help but smile. She felt their care and concern for her. "Okay, it's a deal."
Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Old Man Hua, "Master, I received a letter from a friend in Nancheng yesterday. She mentioned my wife and Xiaoming in her heart, and they are both doing well. Master, do you have any messages to convey to them? I will go to mail a letter in a few days and can take them with me."
Old Man Hua was a little excited when he heard this, and seemed to want to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head, "No, it's not safe. Aren't you going back to take an exam at the end of the month? When you do, please bring me some things back with you."
"Okay," Su Xiao nodded in agreement.
