The next morning, Zhang Ling bid farewell to the City God of Yongning County and returned to the inn in spirit.
He got up from the bed and soon left the room and walked out of the inn.
When you first come here, you should appreciate the prosperous scenery.
After wandering around, I didn't know where I was going, but I saw a house with three big words "Huichuntang" written on a plaque.
Huichun Hall?
Zhang Ling thought to himself, isn't this the clinic of Ning Caijun's uncle Liu Baolong?
It looks more like a mansion, with two stone lions at the door, which is quite impressive.
Zhang Ling smiled awkwardly. He never expected to come here. It seemed that he and Ning Caijun had a good relationship.
While I was thinking, I saw several patients walking out of Huichun Hall supported by their relatives and friends.
The young man in blue waved his sleeves and walked in holding a folding fan.
"Sir, do you need medical treatment?"
As soon as I entered the door, a short servant came up to me with a smile on his face.
Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I am an old friend of Ning Caijun. I was passing by here today and came to see you."
As soon as the words fell, they reached the ears of the servant, who looked strange and unnatural, as if he had something to hide.
"Is he not here?" Zhang Ling asked curiously.
The servant changed his enthusiastic attitude and ignored Zhang Ling, turning to greet another patient who had just walked in.
Zhang Ling shook his head and walked inside on his own. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the servant again after just a few steps.
"Go away, I don't allow outsiders to come in here!"
"Why are you coming to Huichuntang if you're not going to see a doctor?" His attitude was contemptuous, his expression was disgusted, and his dissatisfaction was written all over his face.
Zhang Ling was puzzled. It seemed that ever since he said that he and Ning Caijun were old friends, the servant's attitude had changed. His warm face turned cold, which was extremely abrupt.
It goes without saying that Ning Caijun must be disliked and no one wants to deal with him.
The attitude of the servants can be used to infer the owner's attitude towards Ning Caijun.
The answer is obvious.
Zhang Ling turned around and left without further entanglement. Since the other party didn't let him in, then he wouldn't go in.
He stopped beside the stone lions outside the gate.
His mind swept and wandered around the Huichun Hall, but he discovered an unknown secret.
This Ning Caijun actually sleeps in the woodshed!
And he was covered in wounds.
How could it become like this in just one night?
Zhang Ling immediately counted with his fingers and immediately understood the whole story.
"It looks like he was beaten pretty hard!"
Zhang Ling waved his sleeves, sending out a breeze. The wind seemed to have eyes, turning nine or eighteen bends, and went straight into the woodshed in the backyard, washing away the scholar's fatigue and internal injuries.
As for the scars all over his body, Zhang Ling didn't care. As long as the person's spirit was still there and there were no hidden wounds, the flesh wounds were not a big deal.
Zhang Ling stood alone outside the mansion, gently waving a folding fan. He paused here, his mind always wandering in the backyard.
I saw Ning Caijun walking out of the woodshed, looking lonely and his eyes full of despair.
Three tall and strong guards surrounded him, their faces fierce and fierce, saying: "If you are as tactless as you were last night and try to establish a relationship with the master again, or use some favor to learn medicine, you will be beaten more than this."
Another person said, "Who in the entire Yongning County doesn't know the name of Huichun Hall? And how many people don't know that the master has no offspring? There are many people who want to do this, and I don't know how many have been driven away. You are no problem, and we are not afraid of you!"
After hearing a few words and being scolded, Ning Caijun was so frightened that she dared not say a word. She shrank her neck and remained silent.
"From now on, you'll be responsible for chopping firewood and washing clothes in the backyard. You'll also help out with other people on weekdays. If the cook needs to chop mounds, you'll go over there. If the dung bucket is full, you'll also be more proactive. Don't just whip a donkey like a donkey that won't move unless you hit it."
"The host family is most concerned about appearances. You have to pretend to be intimate in front of outsiders. If there are no outsiders, you should put yourself in the right position and know yourself."
"If you want to leave, you have to wait until next spring, otherwise others will think that the master has treated you unfairly."
Several guards spoke loudly, their eyes full of contempt. After a while, they finished speaking and left with their arms around each other, still mumbling and talking.
"A poor country bumpkin from the countryside wants to learn some kind of medical skill?"
"That's right, you've read so much that you've become stupid and think pie will fall from the sky!"
"If everyone comes to seek kinship and learn this medical skill, how can the master family still survive in Yongning County? What will we eat and drink then?"
"Of course it is!"
…
Ning Caijun shed tears quietly, feeling disheartened. He had not expected that the development of the matter would be far beyond his expectations.
I originally thought that this would be a happy family visit, with the whole family sitting at the table chatting and talking about family matters, but what I actually faced was the cold eyes and suspicion of my aunt and uncle.
"Could it be that they really think I'm learning medicine in order to seize the family fortune?"
"How could I, Ning Caijun, be such a person!"
"Auntie, you know my character very well. How can you judge me by your own standards?"
Although they had not seen each other for many years, he still held on to the innocent memories of his early years, thinking that the feelings were still there. However, he did not know that things had changed and everything was over.
Sad, ridiculous and lamentable!
Ning Caijun rolled up his sleeves, wiped away his tears, picked up an axe and chopped the firewood fiercely. He vented all his anger on the wood, using all his strength and gritting his teeth every time he chopped. Soon he was exhausted and could no longer swing the axe. He sat down, feeling anxious, chest tightness, and dizzy.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself for being a useless scholar who was powerless and couldn't even support himself.
"New here, stop chopping wood and wash these clothes. I'll come check in an hour. If they're not clean, I'll tell Brother Zhao and have him teach you a lesson!"
