Chapter 100: Do you agree to take me as your apprentice?
"Okay, I will arrange the rest. Doctor Qin, I'll have someone send you and Su Mei back first." Huo Jianguo said, and took off his coat and covered Su Mei with it.
He ripped the seams off the sides of his greatcoat...torn it like a cape.
This way, even though Su Mei is fat, she can still squeeze herself in.
Su Mei looked at the clothes and said:
"You will be digging grass in the mountains. You will not be able to bear it when the weather gets cold. You don't have to give me clothes. I will go back indoors and I won't be cold anymore."
"I'm fine." Huo Jianguo had a blank expression on his face as he buttoned his military coat one by one.
After keeping Su Mei under strict surveillance, Huo Jianguo arranged for a few people to take Su Mei and Qin Zhengting back with the dug herbs.
When the group arrived at the military area, it was already dark.
When they arrived at the camp, Qin Zhengting asked a few people to go to the recruits' canteen to ask for a few large pots, and then they built a fire to boil medicine directly on the open space in front of the recruits' dormitory.
An hour later, a pot of green medicinal juice was ready.
Su Mei took a bowl, scooped a bowl of medicine, and fanned it to cool it down a little before bringing it into the dormitory and feeding it to the first soldier who fell ill.
Everyone gathered around the warrior, waiting to see the effect of the drug.
But medicine is not magic, it takes time for it to work. After another hour, Su Mei stepped forward to check the pulse of the soldier who had taken the medicine, and immediately said happily:
"The patient's pulse has become much stronger and his complexion has also improved significantly. It can be confirmed that the herb is really effective."
"That's great!" The people around sighed in unison.
"This is the fastest search for plague medicine I've ever seen," said an old doctor from the medical team.
Su Mei naturally did not forget to flatter Qin Zhengting at this time: "Of course, my master is here, so it's natural that he can defeat the two of them!"
"Don't be so smooth-talking." Qin Zhengting glared at Su Mei and said, "You have been tired for such a long time. Now that the medicine has been found, the soldiers should just cook it.
This is the key to the clinic. Take it and go to the lounge to rest.
If you have been to the source area, you do not need to return to your military family for the next few days to avoid infecting others.
Wait until the soldiers' illness is under control and the military area is open, then you can go back and bring your blanket rolls and toiletries over.
The Military Residence has banned you from living here. From now on, you can just move out of the lounge and live here."
"Okay!" Su Mei nodded, then realized the meaning of Qin Zhengting's next few words, and raised her head in surprise:
"Master, do you mean that you agree to take me as your apprentice?"
"What? You don't want to be my disciple anymore? If you don't want to, just pretend I never said anything." Qin Zhengting said this and walked out.
Su Mei hurriedly followed him and said, "Master, I am sure I am willing to do so. What are the requirements for becoming your disciple? Do I need to prepare a gift?"
"Don't bother with those nonsense. If you want to learn something from me, then learn it well.
It doesn't mean that if I agree to accept you now, you can always be my apprentice. I will give you a two-month observation period. If you don't do well in these two months, I will turn against you at any time." Qin Zhengting talked to Su Mei quickly while walking.
"I will satisfy my master." Su Mei was not worried at all. She believed that anyone who accepted her as an apprentice would be impressed by her positive and hardworking attitude.
After leaving the dormitory of the new recruits, Qin Zhengting ordered a few soldiers to inform Huo Jianguo and Chen Yilon about the situation of the medicinal herbs.
Then he talked about the relevant matters of herbal decoction, and each person drank a bowl of medicine juice, and then he walked towards the clinic.
When he arrived near the clinic, Qin Zhengting turned into the cafeteria next to the clinic.
There was no one in the cafeteria. Qin Zhengting actually took out the key, opened the door, and walked in. He asked Su Mei to wait at the door.
Not long after, Qin Zhengting came out with a small pot, a spatula, two bowls, a basket of potatoes, half a bag of rice, and oil and salt. He said to Su Mei:
"I've prepared some food for you. You can eat in the clinic these days. Don't come to the cafeteria. Although the military area is under martial law, the soldiers still come here to eat.
We have all been close to the source of the disease, so we should not have face-to-face contact with anyone from the military area. "
"I know, Master." Su Mei took the thing in her hand.
Then the master and disciple parted ways.
Qin Zhengting had a dormitory to rest in, and Su Mei carried her things back to the clinic alone.
She had hardly had time to eat the entire day, so she ate a few bites of the steamed bread that the soldiers from the new recruits brought her in the morning.
So when she entered the clinic, she took off Huo Jianguo's military coat and started to make a fire and cook.
She lit a fire in the pit, put water in a pot and cooked the rice.
When the rice was cooked until soft, she scooped the rice soup into a bowl, continued to cook the rice until it was dry, and scooped the rice into the bowl.
After preparing the rice, she washed the pot, added oil, and made soup directly with the rice broth.
After the soup boiled, she poured it into the rice and started eating.
For so many days, Su Mei never allowed herself to have a full meal, but today she was so hungry that she allowed herself to eat a little more.
After dinner, Su Mei lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
The floor-heated kang in the room was on, so you didn't need a blanket to sleep comfortably.
Su Mei slept very deeply that night, and when she woke up the next day, it was already noon.
During this time, no one came to call her, which meant that the herbal medicine was completely effective.
After getting up, she made herself a simple breakfast.
Because of the martial law in the military area, no one came to the clinic for treatment.
After she finished her meal, she felt bored and could only walk around the clinic.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on Huo Jianguo's cotton coat, and there was a hint of cotton leaking out from the seams of the coat.
After looking for a while, Su Mei took out a surgical needle from the clinic, found a roll of suture thread, and sat on the sofa in the lounge holding Huo Jianguo's military coat.
