Chapter 205 The Third Master Learns to Read



Suzhuo's accommodation is a problem.

Su Yi and Wu Shu live together.

Su Zhuo is a girl now and must be reserved, and the boss obviously has no intention of rearranging a room for him. It seems that Qin Yu is the only choice.

But there was only one bed in Qin Yu's room.

Su Zhuo stared at Qin Yu, his eyes becoming more and more gentle: "Brother Qin, can I stay here for one night?"

Qin Yu: “…”

It is undeniable that Su Zhuo is beautiful.

but…

Qin Yu is a straight man.

And Su Zhuo is a man.

Qin Yu is different from other men. He cannot treat him as a girl. He always feels that Su Zhuo gives him a bit of a chilling feeling.

But right now, he has no choice.

"Okay." Qin Yu said, "You sleep on the floor."

Su Zhuo was unhappy.

Sleeping on the floor in this weather, is Doctor Qin's heart made of stone?

"I don't... I'm a weak woman." Su Zhuo looked at Qin Yu pitifully, but Qin Yu was completely unmoved.

Su Zhuo looked at him with a face full of resentment: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain."

Qin Yu didn't buy his tricks at all. He said coldly, "Don't blame me. If you weren't greedy for money, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain."

Su Zhuo “…”

"But what if someone comes in and sees us like this...how are you going to explain that you like me so much and that I let you sleep on the floor?"

Qin Yu: “…”

He was stunned by the question.

The one he likes is Su Wei. If Su Wei comes, Qin Yu will definitely squeeze in with her. After all, it is freezing cold and it would not be good for a girl to get cold.

But Su Zhuo...

Su Zhuo climbed onto the bed. Qin Yu was a bit of a germaphobe and didn't like others touching his bed.

Su Zhuo also covered himself with a quilt.

"Doctor Qin, we are all men, it's okay for us to squeeze in..." Su Zhuo had no such problems at all. The bed was too small and he fell down first. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Qin Yu: “…”

In the next few days, Qin Yu seldom went out and stayed with Su Zhuo the whole time. In Su Zhuo's words, a short separation was better than a new marriage.

Qin Yu always felt that something was wrong, nothing was right.

As the weather was getting colder, the third boss came. He smiled deeply and asked Qin Yu to come over and take the pulse of the first boss.

The boss's body was seriously injured in his early years and it is difficult to recover now. Qin Yu is a superb doctor. After taking the medicine these days, the boss's body seems not so cold in the winter that he used to suffer the most.

So he called Qin Yu over.

"How's it going with Su Wei?" The boss smiled evilly, looking at Qin Yu's two big dark circles under his eyes.

"Young people should exercise some restraint."

Qin Yu had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.

I have to say, his bad habit of obsessive-compulsive disorder was probably cured from the moment he went up the mountain.

Su Zhuo even extinguished the last spark of this problem.

But Qin Yu still couldn't sleep. He couldn't accept the fact of sleeping in the same bed with a man.

Su Zhuo said dazedly: "Then just treat me as a woman."

After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep again.

What kind of vicious words are these?

At this moment, facing the boss's ridicule, Qin Yu could only laugh dryly.

"How is it?" the third in command came up and asked.

Qin Yu said, "We need to change the recipe." He wrote a new one and added some herbs, some of which were difficult to find.

The Third Master took a look and said, "We need to ask the Fourth Master for some."

Qin Yu glanced at the Third Master with a bit of surprise. The First Master saw Qin Yu's expression clearly. After the Third Master left, the First Master smiled and asked, "Why? Are you surprised that the Third Master can read?"

Qin Yu nodded.

Because the third in command looks like a violent person and doesn't look like an educated person at all.

The eldest boss said, "You are superficial, Doctor Qin. I see that you don't look like a man who likes other people's wives."

Qin Yu: “…”

"When I liked Su Wei..." He wanted to say that Su Wei was not Chen Yan's wife at that time, but then he thought about it and realized that what the boss said was true.

So he fell silent.

The eldest boss laughed and said, "The third boss used to be a serious scholar."

(⊙o⊙)

What?

Qin Yu thought he had heard wrongly.

Third in command? Scholar?

It is very difficult to pass the examination to become a scholar. For ordinary people, studying is a hurdle. If you can afford to study, your family must have some financial resources. Wasn't it because of the money given by his brother that Chen Yan was able to study?

As for the others, stop dreaming. There used to be an old man in the village who taught people how to read. He didn't charge money, only grain. But grain is everyone's life. In good times, you can still learn to read, but in bad times...

Qin Yu thought about it. There was a famine that year and everyone was busy taking care of themselves. No one went to school. When the old man was found, he was already dead, skin and bones. No one knew whether he died of starvation or illness.

There were only a few people in the county who could pass the examination and become a scholar.

Passing the exam would exempt you from taxes, allow you to open a school and teach, and even settling accounts in a restaurant would be better than being a bandit...

The eldest boss observed Qin Yu's expression and was silent for a while before he said, "Doctor Qin is superficial again. We are actually fair game as bandits. Whether you are a poor commoner, a landlord or a businessman, a gentry or a noble, you are all welcome."

Qin Yu: “…”

Seeing his speechless expression, the eldest boss laughed and said, "It was a coincidence that the third boss took this path. Do you know what he looked like when I found him?"

The boss laughed: "He was lying on the ground fighting with the dog for food. Do you know why?"

Qin Yu was puzzled.

The eldest son said, "Because of this scholar, someone paid money to replace him. The third son was still dreaming at home when a "robber" broke into his house and killed his mother and pregnant wife. He escaped death and went to the government office to file a complaint. He was almost beaten to death before he even entered the door. Later, he lost his home, his identity, everything..."

The head Boss asked Qin Yu, "You said he doesn't want to go up the mountain to be a bandit, so who else would want him?"

Qin Yu: “…”

The farther away from the emperor, the more chaotic the place is. It's not unheard of for people to impersonate others, but in the end, nothing comes of it. He didn't expect that the third in command would be one of the victims.

The eldest boss sighed, "This world can drive people crazy. Fang Kui is an official, right? What he did makes me ashamed of myself. So what is a bandit and what is an official?"

He sighed and said, "I am just giving these desperate brothers a place to stay."

Qin Yu was in a daze when he left. When he entered the room, he saw Su Zhuo eating a pancake.

Qin Yu went up and grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.

Su Zhuo looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"Doctor Qin, you don't have mysophobia anymore?"

Qin Yu glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and then repeated the boss's words.

Su Zhuo stopped eating and asked quietly, "Doctor Qin, you don't think what the bandit leader said makes sense, do you?"

That’s what Qin Yu thought.

Su Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief: "I won't judge whether what he said is right or not."

Qin Yu looked at him.

Su Zhuo said, "I only care about whether I have got my silver. It would be nice to wear a pair of big gold bracelets."

Qin Yu: “…”
