Bai Ming nodded.
"Hmm, taking on an apprentice wouldn't be bad. As long as they have high comprehension, they can learn the acupuncture technique in just a few days."
Does Ningbao have a suitable candidate?
"Yes! Yes!" Ningbao excitedly raised her chubby little hand when she heard Bai Ming ask the question.
"Senior brother, my cousin Sikang from my uncle's family likes medicine. He said that when he grows up, he wants to be a very good doctor to save the dead and heal the wounded."
Mu Chunping covered her face and reminded him.
"Ningbao, that's called saving lives and healing the wounded."
Contemplating Kang?
Bai Ming thought for a moment. He had a good impression of the child. It could be said that Ning Bao's older brothers were all good. This Chen Sikang was eight years old this year, which was a suitable age.
However, whether or not they accept the children depends on the parents' wishes. Bai Ming looked at Shen Junshan, who had remained silent.
"I wonder if Uncle Shen would agree to your son studying medicine?"
Shen Junshan paused for a moment and then said,
"To be honest, I'm a really bad father. I didn't even know that Sikang was interested in medicine."
However, my husband and I have always been open-minded about children; I have no objection as long as they are willing.
Gu Zheyuan scanned the crowd.
"Alright, Young Master Bai and Mu Chunping can discuss this matter yourselves later. Village Chief Huang, please go back and tell your son that if it's convenient, we can start learning to swim today."
After a brief meeting, Bai Ming and the others went back and immediately called Shen Sikang over. Of course, Liu Qingru, as his mother, also had to be present.
Feeling a bit puzzled by being suddenly called over, Shen Sikang looked nervously at his parents and Bai Ming.
"Father, Mother, Brother Bai, I... did I do something wrong?"
Liu Qingru gently rubbed the top of her youngest son's head.
"Kang'er, don't be nervous, you didn't do anything wrong."
The main reason I called you here today is to ask what you want to do in the future.
After a moment of contemplation, Kang paused, then looked firmly at the people inside the room.
"Father, Mother, Brother Bai, I want to study medicine."
Brother Bai, would you please take me as your apprentice?
Bai Ming looked at Chen Sikang seriously.
“It’s not that I can’t take you as my apprentice, but studying medicine is very hard and tedious, and it also tests one’s humanity.”
You can think it over carefully first. If you've made up your mind, you can come and become my apprentice anytime.
After Bai Ming finished speaking, he nodded to Shen Junshan and his wife and then walked out.
This matter concerned Shen Sikang's future, so Bai Ming didn't say much more.
After all, in ancient times, most parents hoped their children would pass the imperial examinations and become officials, just like how every parent today wants their child to go to university...
Bai Ming came out and ran into Ning Bao and her group of friends, each carrying a small bundle as they walked out.
"Ningbao, where are you all going?"
The Taoist priest Sanqing, who followed later, started nagging when he heard his eldest disciple's question.
"What else can we do?"
These little kids are going to the beach to learn to swim.
They're all children, and the adults at home are worried about them. I see they're all quite busy; the men are busy building walls and houses, while the women are busy tidying up the new house and tending the vegetable garden.
So I had no choice but to volunteer to watch over them.
"Yes, living by the sea means you should learn to swim. You guys go ahead, I'll go back to get something and then come find you at the beach."
After Bai Ming finished speaking, he quickly walked towards his room.
Back in his room, Bai Ming took out two tents from his personal space.
Although he rarely traveled before, he always prepared a lot of outdoor gear.
He'd had this tent ready for ages, but he'd never used it once.
He had just seen Ning Bao and the others carrying clothes, so he guessed that they would definitely be changing clothes later. Although they were all children, it wasn't appropriate for them to change clothes in public.
Besides, there are young girls inside, and my master is a carefree person, so he probably won't pay attention to these things.
