"Aren't you right beside me?" Wen Xingyue asked, puzzled.
He was right beside her, she asked.
Yes, I'm right here beside you.
A smile appeared on Huo Tingxiao's face. Although the answer was not what he wanted, his straightforwardness was even more pleasing.
She is paying attention to herself.
He lowered his head and gently rubbed his forehead against hers.
I want to kiss her, but the place isn't right now.
Even though Grandpa Fang had already seen the young couple together, he went out with a palm-leaf fan so as not to disturb them.
"Yueyue, the wontons are ready, you can eat them now."
Grandma Fang came out of the kitchen carrying wontons, and Wen Xingyue left Huo Tingxiao and went straight for the wontons.
Seeing someone who uses something and then discards it, Huo Tingxiao smiled helplessly.
He slowly pushed the wheelchair toward her.
In the afternoon, Huo Tingxiao and the others had lunch with Grandma Fang and then prepared to go back.
Li Tianbai has already gone back to rent a house. Wen Xingyue is smarter than he imagined, so she will definitely be easy to teach. They can also put the matter of treating their legs on the agenda.
The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for Huo Tingxiao's legs.
If treatment can be started as soon as possible, Huo Tingxiao can recover quickly and return to his unit soon.
"Yueyue, wait for your aunt to come and play with you."
Fang Yihan gently patted Wen Xingyue's head.
If she hadn't had to go to work, she would have gone to stay at the Huo family's house for a few days.
Little Yueyue is so adorable.
"Okay, Yueyue will be waiting for you at home."
Wen Xingyue also liked her pretty aunt and was very happy.
——
"Master, Master, I'm here! Where are you?"
Ever since she started learning medicine from Li Tianbai, Wen Xingyue would go to the neighboring yard to find Li Tianbai every day as soon as she opened her eyes.
She loves studying medicine, she really enjoys it.
"Here it is. I bought some xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) from the kitchen. Take them and eat them yourself."
Li Tianbai was bending over, sorting through herbs. A week ago, he went up the mountain to collect some herbs, teaching his young apprentice to recognize them while drying them.
I need to support my apprentice, so I have to work hard to earn more money.
Li Tianbai felt that his retirement life had been disrupted. Before, he was able to eat his fill and his family was not hungry. He could finish a day with just one steamed bun, and sometimes he could even skip eating.
This young apprentice loves to eat, so if he doesn't buy more food to keep at home, he's afraid the apprentice won't want to come.
He vowed never to use his medical skills to save people again, but making money by selling herbs was still a way out. The herbal medicines he prepared were of excellent quality, and he could earn money to support his young apprentice.
In other people's world, when a master takes on a disciple, the disciple is expected to be filial to the master. But in his case, it's the other way around. He has to be dutiful every day, preparing delicious food, buying milk, drinks, fruits, melon seeds, and snacks for the disciple.
I was afraid my little apprentice would get hungry while learning.
He nodded to his little apprentice and the two little followers behind him, Huo Tingxiao and Huo Tingjun.
"Yes, Master. What are we going to learn today?"
Wen Xingyue ran into the kitchen, grabbed some xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), stuffed one in her mouth, one in her left hand and one in her right, and lingered over to Li Tianbai while eating.
"Master, is this Bletilla striata?" she asked, looking at the herbs spread out on the shelf.
"Yes, do you know what it does?"
Li Tianbai meticulously categorized the items and asked questions gently.
"You said that Bletilla striata, Alocasia macrorrhizae, Bergenia serratifolia, Nelumbo nucifera, and Stemona japonica, when decocted in water and taken orally, can treat pulmonary tuberculosis with cough and hemoptysis."
Wen Xingyue pondered for a few seconds, then replied.
"What about angelica root? If you want to treat dizziness due to blood deficiency, what should it be paired with?"
Li Tianbai raised an eyebrow slightly, but continued testing without showing any emotion.
"Treatment for blood deficiency...dizziness..."
Wen Xingyue silently recited, "15 grams of Angelica sinensis, 20 grams of red vine, and 30 grams of wild ginseng. Decocted in water and taken in two doses."
Wen Xingyue read it aloud slowly.
What about low blood pressure?
"Cinnamon, cassia twig, licorice root, 15 grams each, schisandra fruit, 25 grams, decocted in water and taken orally."
What about menstrual cramps in women?
"11.3g of Corydalis Rhizome, 37.5g of Centipede, 18.8g of Artemisia argyi, 30g of Leonurus japonicus, 18.8g of Lycopus lucidus, 18.8g of Achyranthes bidentata, 3 bowls of water, 2 bowls of rice wine, decoct to 2 bowls, take once in the morning and once in the evening."
Wen Xingyue read it aloud without missing a single word.
"Have you finished reading the medical books I gave you?"
She took several tests in a row, and Wen Xingyue didn't get any of them wrong. Although she stumbled over some of them, the prescriptions she gave were correct.
"Yes, I finished reading it last night, but there were some herbs in it that I had never seen or heard of before, so I didn't remember them very well."
Wen Xingyue nodded.
Two weeks ago, after Li Tianbai moved here, he gave Wen Xingyue a medical book.
Wen Xingyue was extremely interested in studying medicine. As soon as she got the book, she couldn't wait to start reading. The more she read, the more engrossed she became, like a dried-up sponge eager to absorb any good rain it might bring.
Wen Xingyue has a good memory; she can remember most of what she reads after just one reading.
For seven days, aside from sleeping, eating, and occasionally going for a walk with Huo Tingxiao, she didn't watch TV and just ate books.
They watched it with great interest.
So she quickly finished reading the book about her, which was half the size of her hand.
I was still a little unsatisfied after watching it.
"Today we will learn acupressure points. Once you have learned them, you can start massaging Huo Tingxiao's points gradually. After half a month of this, combined with medication and daily medicinal baths to improve blood circulation, you can start treating his legs with acupuncture next month."
Li Tianbai felt like he had struck gold.
He finished reading the entire book in just one week and even memorized it. Even though Li Tianbai was once called a genius, it took him a month to finish this book.
There is absolutely no comparison between him and his young apprentice.
Having found a treasure, the usual teaching methods are no longer applicable; it's all about speed.
"Your leg will definitely get better this year."
