Chapter 24 Meng Yi
Seeing the old beggar inserting needles smoothly, Lin Qian's eyes brightened even more.
The old beggar pulled out a few more silver needles and pierced the man's thigh. Then he turned back to Lin Qian and said, "Give me a copper coin."
Lin Qian immediately took it out and gave it to him.
The old beggar took the copper coin in his hand and began to scrape the man from top to bottom. Immediately, a purple-black mark appeared on the man's back.
After a while, the man's back was covered in purple and black, which looked scary.
At this time, the old beggar looked up and said to the shopkeeper of Renhetang: "Make me a bowl of summer heat soup."
The shopkeeper had been staring at the old beggar's actions in a daze. Only when he heard his words did he wake up from his dream and immediately asked his servant to make some summer heat-relief soup.
"So, he had heatstroke?" asked the shopkeeper.
The old beggar nodded, then shook his head: "Not entirely. He must have had an upset stomach these past few days, and is suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, right?"
The man's wife nodded immediately: "Yes, it's been two or three days. I saw that it was hot today so I didn't let him come to help unload the goods, but he insisted on coming, and then, and then it happened."
Lin Qian concluded behind him that it was food poisoning plus heatstroke, and it was probably not just ordinary heatstroke. It was so hot today, maybe it was heatstroke.
"He was already suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and was a little weak. On top of that, he was doing hard labor during the hottest weather and suffered from heatstroke, which led to heart and lung failure. From the looks of it, he cannot be saved." said the old beggar.
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his head, feeling scared. He almost ignored a life. Fortunately, fortunately.
As he spoke, the man groaned softly and opened his eyes.
"Boss! You finally woke up. Do you know that you scared me to death just now? Woohoo~ Doctor, thank you so much, thank you for saving my man." The man's wife immediately ran over and hugged the man tightly, then turned to thank the old beggar.
"A miracle doctor! A miracle doctor!"
"He really saved her life. He's a miracle doctor!"
The old beggar didn't say anything, but just turned around and looked at Lin Qian, who gave him a thumbs up.
"Miracle doctor, what do you think we should do next?" asked the shopkeeper.
The old beggar turned around and looked at him, puzzled, "You are also a doctor, right? You ask me what to do? You are so old, you should be a master, right? How come you don't know anything?"
The shopkeeper immediately laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Lin Qian quickly stepped forward to help, saying, "The shopkeeper doesn't know what you think, Master, so naturally I have to ask you. As the saying goes, one thing doesn't require two masters."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly in agreement.
The old beggar then uttered an "oh" and said, "I'll remove the needles and give him a bowl of summer heat soup. From now on, I'll leave the diarrhea to you. You can definitely cure it, right?"
"Yes! Yes!" the shopkeeper said hurriedly, then asked someone to carry the man in, and he quickly took the man's pulse and wrote a prescription.
Wei Jing and Lin Shuo had been watching from behind. When they saw that everyone had left, they came over and asked, "Are you still selling the herbs?"
"Sell, of course, Master, please wait here for a while. After we sell the herbs, we will come out and treat you to some good wine!" Lin Qian said to the old beggar as they walked.
He looked back every few steps, afraid that the old beggar would leave.
The old beggar waved his hand, then sat down at the door of Renhe Hall, opened his wine gourd and started drinking.
Lin Qian and the other two did not dare to delay. They paid the herbs and were about to leave immediately, but were stopped by the shopkeeper.
"Xiao Qian, is that master your master?"
"Well, yes." Lin Qian said as she looked outside.
The shopkeeper then asked, "Can your master come to our Renhetang to see patients? He's such a great doctor. If he comes, I'll give him the top position."
Lin Qian turned around and glanced at the shopkeeper: "Uncle shopkeeper, I will ask him for you."
"Okay, okay, then you ask, and be sure to send me a message."
The three of them said goodbye to the shopkeeper and hurried out.
"Master, let's go and treat you to a drink!" Lin Qian said.
The old beggar snorted coldly: "I didn't say I wanted to be your master, so don't call me so affectionately."
"Oh, it won't hurt to scream a few times. Come on, let's go." Lin Qian pretended not to hear and urged.
Lin Shuo and Wei Jing quickly caught up with the two.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Qian ordered a roast chicken, a plate of braised beef, peanuts and two vegetarian dishes, and asked the waiter to bring a jar of wine.
Lin Qian has spent all the money she earned today.
After the old beggar had eaten and drunk his fill, he was about to leave, and Lin Qian and the other two hurried to follow him.
After walking for a while, the old beggar turned around and said, "Why are you still following me? Why aren't you leaving?"
Lin Qian said somewhat disappointedly, "The owner of Renhetang asked me to tell you that he wants you to come and see patients. Think about it carefully. We'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Lin Qian turned around and was about to leave.
The old beggar behind him asked, "Where are you going?"
Lin Qian said sullenly, "Go home. If you don't accept any disciples, why should I follow you?"
"When did I say I wouldn't accept you? If I didn't, why would I come to find you?"
Lin Qian turned around suddenly and looked at the old beggar.
Lin Shuo poked Lin Qian and said, "Sister, the senior has acknowledged you as his disciple!"
"Master? Master! Master!" Lin Qian jumped twice with joy, then came back and grabbed the old beggar's hand.
"What are you yelling for? You haven't even finished the apprenticeship ceremony!"
"Go home, I'll kowtow to you when I get home!"
"Really? Then I'm really hard to keep. I have to eat a lot of meat and drink a little wine every day."
"Okay! I will definitely take good care of you."
The three of them were very happy after they took a sweeping monk home.
"Dad! Mom! Grandpa! My master is coming home with me!" Lin Qian shouted as soon as she entered the door, still holding the old beggar's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
Lin Wu and Zhao Xiu had known about the old beggar for a long time, so they welcomed him very much.
Lin Changcan was a little puzzled, and Lin Wu secretly explained to him that the reason why Lin Qian could recognize so many medicinal herbs was because of this person.
Zhao Xiu found a set of Lin Wu's clothes for the old beggar to wear and boiled water for him to take a bath.
When the old beggar took a bath, put on his clothes, and shaved, everyone was stunned.
It turned out that the old beggar was not old at all. He looked to be less than fifty years old and was very handsome.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked very dignified. Lin Wu's clothes fit him well, though he was a little thin.
"My name is Meng Yi, nice to meet you all." After Meng Yi tidied himself up, he greeted everyone.
Seeing Meng Yi's current appearance, everyone became more convinced of his identity as a master.
"Master! You are so beautiful. So your name is Meng Yi?" Lin Qian immediately started circling around Meng Yi and asked.
Hearing Lin Qian praising his good looks, Meng Yi couldn't help but pat her on the head.
"Ouch!" Lin Qian covered her head and screamed, making everyone laugh.
Wei Jing, who was standing aside, touched his face dejectedly.
"Qianqian, don't be disrespectful. You must be filial to your master and learn medical skills from him. Do you understand?" Zhao Xiu instructed Lin Qian.
Lin Qian nodded immediately and Meng Yi smiled.
