After lunch, Doctor Huang asked Su Xingran to sort and dry the herbs. Su Xingran went to the courtyard and found a place to pile the herbs. After sorting the herbs one by one, she placed them in a sunny spot to dry.
Doctor Huang sat by the window, looking at his notes, occasionally glancing up at Su Xingran organizing the herbs. He noticed her skillful handling and knew she was probably an expert in traditional Chinese medicine.
Dr. Huang is skilled in traditional Chinese medicine and also knows a bit about Western medicine. After all, medicine knows no borders and saving lives is what matters. It's just that traditional Chinese medicine can't be prominent these days, which is why he came to this remote area where there's a shortage of doctors but no prejudice or suppression against traditional Chinese medicine.
Master, I've finished tidying it up and put it in the sun to dry. Su Xingran is quite efficient; she's already completed the task.
Xingran, how did you do with the acupoint array diagram of the human body that Master gave you this morning? Did you remember it?
Master, I've watched it several times, and I think I've memorized it.
Okay, then continue studying for a while longer. Once you've completely memorized the locations of the acupoints, then look at their corresponding therapeutic effects. That way, you'll be able to insert the needles correctly.
Xingran, you'll be starting school soon, right? Dr. Huang remembers, even though the college entrance exam has been cancelled, primary, middle, and high schools are still operating.
Yes, Master, I have to go back to school in three days. During my vacation, I'll come here to learn medicine from you. After school, I'll diligently study the medical knowledge you've explained to me.
Okay, little one, don't put so much pressure on yourself. You don't need to be so tense. You're still young, take your time, no need to rush. Dr. Huang also didn't want Su Xingran to overwhelm her with her studies in medicine and academic learning.
Su Xingran spent the entire afternoon at her master's house, looking at the acupoint array diagram and the notes on the effects of acupoints that her master had given her.
As evening fell, Su Xingran bid farewell to her master's house and encountered Su Wenli on her way home. Su Wenli blocked Su Xingran's path, so Su Xingran had no choice but to stand still and watch Su Wenli to see what she wanted.
Su Wenli felt uneasy under Su Xingran's expressionless stare. She'd overheard her grandmother and mother saying that Su Xingran seemed like a completely different person, and they even suspected she was possessed.
Xingran, did you just come from Doctor Huang's house? Su Xingran thought to herself, you've been waiting here on purpose, how could you not know where I came from?
Xingran, why aren't you saying anything? Are you still angry with me? I've already explained that matter to you, why are you still holding onto it?
"I'm going home for dinner," Su Xingran said, turning and walking away. She didn't want to see Su Wenli, that pretentious and hypocritical persona. She had been so blind to her true colors before.
Xingran, don't go! Your cousin has something to tell you. Go talk to Doctor Huang and ask him to take on another apprentice. Wouldn't it be great if we sisters could learn medicine together? It would be such an honor for the Su family to have two doctors in the future.
Su Xingran, who had already started walking, stopped. She turned around to face Su Wenli and said one last time, "Your family should not come looking for me again. You should ask my master for help."
Also, my family and your family are not from the same Su family. Your family's house is the old Su family residence, while my family's house belongs to Su Guomin. My family and your family have no relation whatsoever. We have already separated our families.
Even after the family split up, my second uncle is still my grandparents' son, so we're still family. Xingran, how could you do this? You don't even acknowledge my grandparents, uncle, and aunt anymore?
Do you think that becoming Dr. Huang's apprentice means you look down on us family members? You've only just started learning; we don't even know if you'll be able to master Dr. Huang's medical skills in the future.
Ignoring Su Wenli's exasperation, Su Xingran quickened her pace to go home and have dinner with her parents, knowing they would worry if she was late.
