Chapter 26 Test, Happiness (Please read it again on Tuesday)
"What?"
Lu Qing looked at the old doctor in surprise, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"Grandpa Chen, you just said that you want me to learn medicine from you?"
"Why, are you unhappy?" asked the old doctor.
"No, but Grandpa Chen, didn't you just tell me to stay with you and learn some herbal knowledge?"
"I've changed my mind. What Mr. Wang said earlier reminded me that the village will indeed need a doctor in the future."
"As you are the only literate person in the village, perhaps I should give you this opportunity."
Mr. Wang, the old man who patted Lu Qing on the shoulder and asked him to study medicine with Doctor Chen.
Lu Qing was stunned.
He originally thought that it would take a long time before he could get the opportunity to study medicine.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better so quickly.
He looked delighted and was about to express his gratitude.
Doctor Chen added: "However, don't be too happy too soon. To study medicine, you need to have qualifications. If you don't have the qualifications, even if I want to teach you, you may not be able to learn it."
"Then what does it mean to be qualified?" Lu Qing asked.
"One month." The old doctor said, "As long as you can memorize the names and properties of the herbs recorded in the Hundred Herbs Classic within one month, I will officially accept you as my apprentice."
"If you can't do that, then you should just be honest and learn some knowledge about herbs and make a living as a herbalist."
"Grandpa Chen, I will definitely work hard to memorize this "Catalogue of Materia Medica"!"
Lu Qing said with excitement on his face.
Isn’t it just memorizing the "Hundred Herbal Classic"? He can do it now.
However, Lu Qing also knew that if he really recited the entire "Baicao Jing" in front of the old doctor.
What would greet him might not be the old doctor's surprise, but fear.
So we can’t be impatient about this matter. We need to give the old doctor some time to accept it.
After all, he had told others in person before that he only knew a few words and was not well-read.
Next, Lu Qing took the "Bai Cao Jing" and asked Doctor Chen some questions about it.
It mainly includes some uncommon characters and the pronunciation of medicinal materials names.
Although his supernatural powers helped him memorize the entire "Classic of Materia Medica".
But he still wanted to understand the meaning of some words in more depth.
It’s a good opportunity to verify what is different from my own understanding.
The old doctor naturally knew everything about this and explained it to Lu Qing carefully.
It was during the explanation that the old doctor was surprised to find that Lu Qing had an excellent memory.
For many words, he only explained them once or twice and he was basically able to remember them without him having to explain them again.
"Lu Qing, you are indeed a very smart child." The old doctor said with great satisfaction.
Lu Qing's performance was far beyond his expectations.
If he continued like this, perhaps he would really be able to memorize the "Classic of Materia Medica" within a month.
"It's your good teaching, Grandpa Chen." Lu Qing said modestly.
At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the first time he felt that playing dumb was tiring.
Although he already understood many things, he still had to ask several more times and made sure not to let the old doctor see any flaws.
This is a big test for his acting skills.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. It's not a good idea to learn too many characters at once, otherwise it's easy to get them mixed up. Take this Hundred Herbal Classics back and read it carefully tonight. Come up tomorrow and I'll test your homework again."
"Grandpa Chen, don't I have to wait until the next acupuncture treatment?" Lu Qing was surprised.
"You are about to learn the 'Classic of Materia Medica', so why are you waiting so long? After three days, I'm afraid you will forget everything you learned today!" the old doctor scolded with a smile.
"Then we will come up again tomorrow to say hello to you." Lu Qing said happily.
"Grandpa Chen, does that mean Xiaoyan can come up and play with you tomorrow?" Xiaoyan said happily.
"Of course. Grandpa will make some new cakes for you to try tomorrow." The old doctor picked up the little guy.
Xiaoyan's eyes lit up: "New cakes, are the yam cakes delicious?"
"It won't be worse than yam cake."
The little guy immediately felt his saliva was about to flow out.
After leaving the courtyard halfway up the mountain with Xiaoyan, Lu Qing's heart was still happy.
His harvest today is still huge.
I originally wanted to give the Red Moon Carp to the old doctor, but I didn't expect it to be such a precious and unique fish.
After the old doctor sells the Red Moon Carp, there should still be some money left after deducting the money owed to the old doctor for the medicine.
It just so happened that he was very poor now, and with some money, many urgent matters could be solved.
More importantly, he knew that the Red Moon Carp liked to eat blood apricots.
Since the river outside the village can produce a Red Moon Carp, there must be others.
As long as he is patient, he might be able to catch it again.
By then, it will be a fortune.
In addition to the Red Moon Carp, the biggest gain was the opportunity given by Doctor Chen.
Next, as long as he follows the steps, reads the "Classic of Materia Medica" thoroughly and gains the approval of the old doctor, he will truly have the opportunity to study medicine.
Lu Qing believed that as long as he studied hard, he would be able to master medical skills since he possessed special abilities.
And the function that was suddenly discovered today also made Lu Qing realize it.
His abilities were even more powerful than he had imagined, and had many functions waiting for him to discover.
With excitement, the brother and sister walked home.
At this time, news about what happened at the old doctor's house today was spreading throughout the village.
In particular, the fact that Lu Qing was studying medicine with the old doctor attracted the attention of almost all the villagers.
Under a big tree in the center of the village, a group of villagers were talking.
"You said that Lu Qing really studied medicine from Doctor Chen?" a villager asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Lu Qing was holding a medical book and reciting it!" a villager replied.
"That's right, and when we asked Lu Qing, the old doctor didn't deny it, so it's true, isn't it?" another villager said.
"So, our village will have a doctor in the future?" an old man said excitedly.
"It's still early. Lu Qing is just learning from the old doctor. It's hard to say when he will be able to start treating patients."
"Anyway, it's always a hope. If there is no doctor in the village, everyone will have to go back to the old days."
Hearing this, the villagers fell silent.
Yes, before the old doctor came, if they had any illness, they could only endure it on their own.
Some minor ailments may get better if you endure them.
But I’m afraid that if I keep persisting, big problems will arise.
Many people in the village used to walk this way.
Later, after Doctor Chen came, everyone's life became better.
No matter what disease it is, the old doctor can cure it. Even if it cannot be cured immediately, he can relieve the pain and make the patient feel less uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that the old doctor’s medical fees are not expensive.
Even if someone cannot afford the medical expenses at the moment, he will still help and allow them to owe the money temporarily.
Where else can I find such a good doctor?
Therefore, everyone respects Dr. Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
But everyone knows that the old doctor is very old.
Therefore, sometimes they can't help but wonder what they should do if the old doctor is gone one day.
No one wants to go back to the days when they were sick but had no medical care to turn to.
Now everyone is really happy to hear that Lu Qing is learning medicine from the old doctor.
Just as everyone was chatting under the tree, suddenly, someone shouted.
"Lu Qing is back!"
