Xiaosi passed the examination for the title of Tongsheng at the age of fifty but did not continue his studies.
Xiao Si studied medicine with Doctor Liu and Sister Liu Yun. He had memorized a collection of herbal remedies by the age of eight.
He now worked as a medicine boy with Doctor Liu in the pharmacy, waiting tables with his sister, preparing and boiling medicines, and he was becoming more and more proficient in these tasks. Doctor Liu saw that he had learned enough and began to teach him how to take pulses and conduct medical examinations.
Not long after Liu Yuhan gave birth to her second child, Doctor Liu was ready to go out and practice medicine again. Liu Yuhan couldn't stop him, so he could only prepare more food and silver bills for them, as well as a token with the county lady's name given by Liu Yuhan and a pass given by General Huo.
In the words of Doctor Liu, while his old bones can still walk, he should go out more often. This time he brought Xiao Si and Liu Yun, and Huo San and Qiu Ju, both of whom are martial artists. Huo San and Qiu Ju got married last year.
They later worked as doctors in the Qi Family Army and stayed in the barracks for nearly a year.
During this time, 17-year-old Liu Yun met Jiang Qi Rong, a single military officer of the Qi family, and they developed a mutual affection. Qi Rong accompanied her back to Fulai Village, and the Liu family arranged their marriage.
There was a house in the county town near Qi Rong’s military camp. Liu Yun worked as a doctor in the local county town. After they got married, they had two sons and one daughter.
Xiao Si continued to practice medicine and fell in love with traveling healers. At 23, having become an older man, he was forced to endure the intolerable beatings of Liu Shinan. Through the introduction of a member of the Liu family, he met Ji Hong, a female doctor also studying medicine. The two married and continued their life of healing the wounded in Fu'an City. They had a son and a daughter.
Doctor Liu devoted his life to studying medicinal materials and saving lives, and he lived to be in his eighties.
Capital city.
The aged Prime Minister abdicated and Liu Zhiyi took over as Prime Minister, while the young Liu Lu became the Left Prime Minister.
Liu Lu stayed in the capital for eight years and was promoted to the position of Left Prime Minister. He was so talented and learned that everyone admired him.
When he was twenty years old, his grandmother introduced him to a woman with outstanding appearance and outstanding talent. When the two met and chatted, they found that they had very similar ideas and lifestyles, and it felt like they had met too late.
In fact, they just met the right person at the right time. After they got married, they settled in the Liu family residence in the capital and had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and a daughter.
Hanshan Temple in Beijing.
"Master, I secretly made beggar's chicken today. Do you want to eat it?" Xiao Wu asked the elderly master who was meditating, holding the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, a little reluctantly.
"Amitabha...you are stealing food again, hurry up and bring it to me, one is not enough, go get two."
"Ah... then Master, you have to let me eat one. I'm still growing. Please don't let your disciple starve."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, kid, bring the chicken over here."
"Oh." Xiao Wu slowly opened the lotus leaf on the chicken, cleaned the chicken, put it in a clean bowl, and gave it to the master.
The chicken smells so good! Xiaowu sniffed it, trying not to drool.
Taoist Master Baimei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xiaowu's greedy look, and laughed in his heart. He pulled out a big chicken leg and handed it to him.
"Here, your mouth is watering. Eat it. Remember to wipe your mouth after eating. Be careful not to let anyone see you."
"Thank you, Master, you are so kind!" Xiao Wu finished his meal in a few bites, wiped his mouth clean, and went out to the mountain to look for chickens as his master said. He really wanted to go see his brother, but his master would not let him go down the mountain.
When he was almost fifty years old, Xiao Si passed the examination for the title of Tongsheng and went to the provincial capital to study medicine. At home, he practiced martial arts and helped with housework.
He wanted to follow his older brother into the army, but he was too young and his family wouldn't let him go. Until one day, his fate came...
I wonder if Liu Yuhan still remembers this old monk, the one who said to his family, "This boy has an extraordinary mind and will. He will face a disaster at the age of thirteen. If he can get through it safely, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future. Amitabha..."
The old monk came to the Liu family to beg for alms, still dressed in rags. Mrs. Jiang and the others recalled for a moment and recognized him at once.
The Liu family warmly invited the old monk into the house, prepared food and water for him, brought him a new set of clothes, and asked Xiaowu to take him to bathe.
After the old monk cleaned his body and put on clean clothes, he looked a bit like an immortal.
Liu Daling and Old Lady Jiang still remembered the good fortune that Liu Yuhan had that year, and they respected the old monk very much. The old monk stayed comfortably in the Liu family for several days.
The longer he stayed, the more the two elders wondered: What was the old monk's purpose in coming here? Why had he followed them all the way from north to south? Feeling a little uneasy, the two elders couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Master, what advice do you have?"
"Amitabha, now that girl Yu Ran has survived the ordeal and is living well, right?"
"Yes, yes. My eldest granddaughter is doing well. I wonder what advice the master has for you this time?"
"Amitabha, good deeds will be rewarded. What that girl got was all she prayed for."
"I think that kid has very good muscles and bones. Can you give him up and let him travel with me?" Taoist Master Baimei pointed at Xiaowu who was secretly sticking his head out to look inside the main room door.
Xiaowu was very nervous.
He had been serving the old monk these past few days, and the old monk had even taught him martial arts. He had seen the old monk's power firsthand. He had only used a little effort, and the grass on the ground had been pulled up by the roots! He was horrified at the time!
He decided to cling to this thigh! He wanted to learn powerful martial arts from him. So he secretly pestered the old monk to become his disciple, and promised the old monk that he would be obedient, serve him well, and learn martial arts well.
He hid here secretly and listened to the adults talking, fearing that his family would disagree.
