Chapter 5 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 5 Oh my God! They don’t know…
The old doctor's surname was Mo, and his nickname was Mo Wencheng. He only did good things, not worrying about his future. He must have been around sixty years old, which was considered a relatively old age in ancient times. And because he was a doctor, he was well respected by his neighbors.
There are only two doctors in this village, and this one has good medical skills, so Yu Qinglong thought, he is the one!
Yu Qinglong made himself dizzy and his heartbeat quickened as he was busy thinking about a plan.
Doctor Mo felt the patient's pulse and found some issues. He sighed and said, "Brother Qinglong seems to be feeling depressed. Hasn't he had enough rest in a few days?"
Yu Qinglong hadn't slept well these past few days. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine."
Doctor Mo was kind. As they lived in the same village, he knew the child must be having a hard time, so he asked, "Did you really sleep well? Then tell me, do you get dizzy inside? Do you black out when you squat or stand up? Does your heart sometimes beat like a drum?"
These actually all exist.
After Yu Qinglong traveled through time, he finally came to terms with some of the things that the original owner couldn't. But there were also some things about himself that he couldn't get over. For someone accustomed to the conveniences of life in the 21st century, who wouldn't feel depressed when they arrived in a place like this?
So actually, his coming solved the original problem, but he also brought new worries.
Seeing that his youngest son did not deny it, Yu Dayou asked Doctor Mo, "Doctor Mo, how can I treat my son Qinglong's illness?"
Doctor Mo said, "He's still young, and he has a good ability to recover. I also know your family's situation, so I won't give him any medicine. When you have time, take him out for a walk more often, and don't let him get stuck at home all the time. Walking is the best tonic. As for the rest, he's a boy, so you can't use too many cold medicines. Just give him some dandelion tea. It's easy to make. Just pick some young, unflowered dandelions, wash and dry them, then add boiling water to the tea. Drink it for three to five days. It's the best way to relieve heart heat. But it's a slightly cold thing, so remember not to drink cold water on weekdays, and get more sun."
Yu Dayou said, "Thank you, Doctor Mo."
Doctor Mo said, "You're welcome. We all live in the same village, so I'm just taking advantage of my seniority to say a few more words. Some things are God's will, things that children should experience, and you can't stop them. I know your family gets along well, but sometimes protecting a child too much is not good for his growth. It's better to let him be free."
Zhou Yuehua took the consultation fee and gave it to Yu Dayou, who then gave it to Doctor Mo.
The total was thirty wen. Doctor Mo's consultation fee was thirty wen, and the cost of the medicine he prescribed was extra.
Doctor Mo only took out ten coins and said, "That's all."
Upon seeing this, Yu Qinglong got off the kang and knelt down in front of Doctor Mo. "Doctor Mo, may I take you as my disciple?"
Everyone in the Yu family: "..." What's going on?!
Doctor Mo was also startled and hurriedly helped Yu Qinglong up: "What do you mean? Hurry up and get up. You can't kneel on this cold ground if you are not in good health."
Yu Qinglong didn't get up, and said sincerely, "Doctor Mo, I want to learn medicine from you. I know I'm a little old, and I'm a boy, but I will definitely study hard. Will you let me try? I can help you collect herbs, dry them, chop wood, and help you cook. As long as I can do it, I can do it. Will you let me learn medicine from you?"
Doctor Mo said, "Child, get up quickly. I don't accept any disciples."
Yu Qinglong asked, "Why not? Do you think I'm clumsy or too old?"
Doctor Mo said, "Neither. In short, I won't accept you! If you continue like this, I won't dare come to your house to see a doctor. Get up quickly."
Yu Dayou and Zhou Yuehua also said, "Brother Long, please get up quickly and don't embarrass Doctor Mo."
But if I don’t make things difficult for him, I will also be in a difficult position!
So worried!
Yu Qinglong finally got up, but he still felt that he had to make it happen. Putting aside his future prospects, if he were to travel back in time, the best thing he could bring back would be ancient Chinese medicine!
He was about to kneel, but Doctor Mo said, "I will never accept a disciple. Give up on this idea, kid. I'm leaving."
Yu Dayou said, "I'll see you off."
After the two of them left, Yu Qinglong got up and sat back on the kang. He asked Zhou Yuehua, "Father, why doesn't Doctor Mo accept disciples?"
How could he not know this? The original owner had no memory of this issue either.
"Doctor Mo once had an apprentice who was both clever and sensible. Unfortunately, he died young," Zhou Yuehua sighed. "One time, Doctor Mo was collecting herbs and found a ginseng plant. However, it was growing in a place that was extremely difficult to reach, with a large crack in the middle. He decided not to pick it, as life was more important. But he still felt a little regretful. When his apprentice learned about this, he didn't say anything and secretly went out to look for the ginseng. He found the ginseng and picked it, but he fell off a cliff and died."
"What upset Doctor Mo the most was that the ginseng was left behind. His disciple had thrown it on top before he fell. After that, he refused to accept any more disciples."
"..." Yu Qinglong felt uncomfortable after hearing this. However, this only proved that Doctor Mo was a more loyal and righteous person. He wanted to become his disciple even more.
There was silence in the room when Yu Dayou came in.
He asked Yu Qinglong, "Brother Long, why did you suddenly want to take Doctor Mo as your master?"
Yu Qinglong said, "Father, I'm not in good health. My father is also weak. If I can really learn some medical skills, wouldn't it be of great benefit to our family? If I really learn it one day, maybe I can even help the family make some money. Those people outside won't always say that I'm clumsy."
Yu Qingjia said, "But studying medicine also requires literacy. How can you learn if you can't read?"
Yu Qinglong said, "I will learn slowly from Dr. Mo, I think I will eventually learn it."
He had never seen a book or written language before. But characters, after all, had fixed shapes. If you couldn't learn them once, you could learn them twice. If you couldn't learn them twice, you could learn them three times. As long as you set your mind to it, there was no character you couldn't learn!
Zhou Yuehua said, "But Doctor Mo refused to accept it."
If he was really willing, he would rather let his youngest son give it a try. As a boy, if he couldn't go to school, he wouldn't have much of a future except getting married. But if he could study medicine, that would be a different story.
Who can guarantee that they will not get sick throughout their life?
When you are sick, who cares whether your doctor is a man or a boy? The important thing is to save the patient.
Although it will always be more difficult, it is never that easy to accomplish anything.
Yu Qinglong said, "If he doesn't accept me for one day, I'll go and beg him for one day. If he doesn't accept me for two days, I'll go and beg him for two days. Father, Dad, if you agree, I really want to become Dr. Mo's apprentice. Please let me try. I used to think that if I spoke less and caused less trouble, others would gradually start to see me as a better person. But that's not the case at all. They all laughed at me because I looked different from ordinary guys. But if I could learn a craft, wouldn't that make a difference? Just like you, Dad, who would not praise your embroidery?"
Zhou Yuehua glanced at the head of the household and asked, "How about letting the child try?"
Yu Dayou said, "Let's give it a try. But Long Ge'er, you must not make things too difficult for Doctor Mo. He's old, so you have to be more careful."
Yu Qinglong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go there early tomorrow morning!"
When the couple saw that their youngest son seemed determined to do so, they thought that perhaps this was God's will and stopped objecting.
In fact, they felt that the chances of success were slim. After all, over the years, many people had wanted to become Dr. Mo's apprentice, but no one had succeeded. It was said that Mr. Fang, a scholar from a neighboring village, had sought help from Dr. Mo before, but was also rejected.
Although he was not yet a scholar at that time, Fang Xiucai had been known as a child prodigy since he was young. He was said to learn everything very quickly. Even so, he could not be worshipped, not to mention that their child could not even read.
Yu Qinglong also felt that not knowing how to read was indeed a bit troublesome, but it was precisely because of this that he had to seize this opportunity.
This is the most likely way for him to quickly gain access to cultural input.
That night, Yu Qinglong decided to go see Dr. Mo early the next morning and went to bed early.
Four adults shared a kang, separated by two curtains: one curtain separated his parents from his second brother, and the other separated him from his second brother.
The curtain was made of pieces of old cloth patchworked together. Yu Qinglong had never imagined that he would live in such a place.
But when he opened his eyes the next day, he still couldn't put his clothes back on. He was still in this era where no one could help him.
Let’s fight!
In the morning, Zhou Yuehua and Zhou Jian'er woke up, one lighting the fire while the other made breakfast. Yu Qinglong saw steam rising from the nest, a faint aroma. But when he opened the pot, he found only noodle and vegetable paste inside. Noodle and vegetable paste is made by boiling a large pot of water, adding finely chopped noodles and stirring until cooked, then adding some salt and, just before serving, adding a handful of wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables were the ones they dug last time, including dandelions and shepherd's purse.
Each person had a bowl, which was quite watery, and the noodles were yellowish and grayish in color, sometimes even a bit unpalatable to the teeth.
But even this kind of thing is not something you can eat every day, and it’s good enough if you can eat enough.
Yu Qinglong took a deep breath and drank it all. After finishing it, he went to find Mo Wencheng.
Mo Wencheng's family lived west of the village, also living with his family. Dr. Mo had a daughter and a little grandson. His son-in-law was an outsider who had married into the family. He had been conscripted into the military and hadn't returned yet.
Yu Qinglong came over early. He originally wanted to get some things, but there was really nothing to take at home, so he thought about coming to see if he could help Doctor Mo with some work.
Anyway, he has some strength, so he can be of some help.
Unexpectedly, someone arrived earlier than him!
The sun has only just risen now, right? At this time of year, it's probably only around four or five in the morning!
Yu Qinglong was slightly stunned when he saw the familiar-looking cows and ox carts.
At this moment, a scream of "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" was heard from inside the house, as if someone's arm was about to be removed. It was so miserable!
Seeing that the door was open, Yu Qinglong walked in and knocked on the door: "Doctor Mo, can I come in?"
When Doctor Mo heard it was him, he hurriedly said, "Don't go in yet! Wait a moment!"
Yu Qinglong waited outside for a while. Then another painful howl came from the house, making his scalp numb.
After waiting for about five minutes, Doctor Mo said, "Come in!"
As soon as Yu Qinglong entered the room, he saw Fang Shu. He was lying on a narrow bed, his face pale with pain. He looked like he was here to treat his waist. There was a heavy-looking cloth bag on his waist, which was still steaming.
Did they go and move a bigger stone after they separated yesterday?!
Fang Shu naturally saw him, but suddenly remembered something and kept silent.
Yu Qinglong asked, "Doctor Mo, is there anything I can help you with?"
Mo Wencheng frowned and said, "Didn't you say I don't accept disciples? What are you doing here?"
Yu Qinglong said, "Please reconsider this. I sincerely want to study medicine with you."
Doctor Mo said, "No. You're a man, why would you learn these things? It's inconvenient to treat girls, and it's also inconvenient to treat men. Learning these things is not practical."
Before Yu Qinglong could say anything, Fang Shu was stunned: "Doctor Mo, what did you just say he was?"
"What is what? Are you talking about Qinglong brother?"
"He, he's a brother?!"
Yu Qinglong glared at Fang Shu, telling him to be careful not to let anything slip. But Fang Shu still felt too shocked.
Doctor Mo said, "Yes. He's just a little taller, a serious guy. Okay, Qinglong, you should go back soon. It's not convenient for you to stay here while I'm treating patients."
Fang Shu: "..." Is this a question that is inconvenient for Fang? !
This guy is obviously a brother, but I have seen him peeing outside! ! !
Oh my God, they are not innocent!
