Chapter 309: Unwelcome?
"Last time, that strange monk."
"How do you call him that? That's my master. You should call him Master Gu."
Daohua interrupted Xiao Yeyang unhappily.
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, thinking, he had followed her in calling her "Strange Monk", so forget it, he would not argue with her: "Last time, didn't Master Gu also leave me a martial arts secret manual? Now that I'm here, I should go up to pay my respects and thank him in person."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "You are at least polite. Come on, follow me up the mountain." As she said that, she took the lead.
Peach Blossom Temple.
Because Grandma Gu likes flowers, Gu Jian cultivated a flower garden in the yard. Two days ago, Daohua asked Qin Xiaoliu to bring a batch of flower seeds. At this moment, Grandma Yan and Grandma Gu were picking the seeds.
When Daohua brought Xiao Yeyang into the yard, the two old ladies were still chatting and laughing.
"Bang!"
In front of the kitchen door, Gu Jian, who was decocting medicine, saw Xiao Yeyang. He was so shocked that he lost his grip on the medicine bowl and it fell to the ground.
“Master!”
Daohua walked over quickly and saw that the back of Gu Jian's hand was burned red. She quickly scooped up some cold water to rinse him: "Master, are you okay? Do you want to apply some medicine?"
At this moment, Gu Jian had come back to his senses and shook his head. "Master, I'm fine." He paused and explained, "My hand just shook a little, and I broke the medicine bowl."
Daohua scooped up another bucket of water and said, "Just break it up. I'll boil the medicine later."
Gu Jian nodded randomly, looking at Xiao Yeyang from time to time.
In the yard, Xiao Yeyang wanted to follow Daohua, but who would have thought that Grandma Gu heard the noise, turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang, and sat down on the ground.
After all, Old Mrs. Yan was too old and was unable to help the person up.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang had no choice but to walk over and help Granny Gu up: "Grandma, did you fall? Are you okay?"
Although she repeatedly warned herself not to show any abnormality, when she heard Xiao Yeyang's concerned voice, Grandma Gu couldn't help but wet her eyes. In order to avoid showing her emotions, she could only lower her head and shake it.
Although Xiao Yeyang felt that Grandma Gu's reaction was a little strange, he felt relieved when he thought of the half of her face that was burned.
People whose appearance has been disfigured probably don't want strangers to see their faces.
Even Old Lady Yan thought so, and hurried forward to hold Grandma Gu's other hand.
Xiao Yeyang felt very sympathetic towards the old woman in front of him. With her face burned like this, he could imagine how dangerous the fire was for her. "Grandma, let me help you into the house and sit down!"
Granny Gu nodded weakly.
Seeing that Granny Gu's spirits had suddenly weakened, Old Lady Yan asked worriedly, "Old sister, did you fall anywhere?"
Granny Gu forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it will be fine after a while."
By the time Xiao Yeyang and Old Lady Yan helped Granny Gu into the house, Daohua had already cleaned up the broken bowls. "Master, please come in and sit for a while. I'll get some ointment to apply to you."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the pharmacy.
Gu Jian looked at the rice flowers, was silent for a moment, and walked into the house.
When Xiao Yeyang saw Gu Jian coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Master Gu, do you still remember me?"
Gu Jian glanced at Granny Gu, who lowered her head and seemed to be in a state of disbelief. Then he said "hmm" with a straight face and asked stiffly, "Why are you here?"
Well.
The smile on Xiao Yeyang's face froze. This meant he was not welcome!
At this time, Daohua walked in and explained with a smile: "Master, Xiao Yeyang's uncle, Governor Guo, is stationed at Ningmen Pass. This guy came back to the academy from his uncle's place today and stopped by to see me. Last time, didn't you give him a martial arts secret book? He came here specially to thank you."
After hearing this, Gu Jian frowned.
Xiao Yeyang's uncle is stationed at Ningmen Pass?
His sister's health has been getting worse over the years, and he is too lazy to pay attention to what is happening in the capital, so he really doesn't know this.
After a moment of silence, Gu Jian said dryly, "No need to thank him." After that, as if he felt that he had not explained himself clearly, he added, "I picked up that set of swordsmanship. It happened that you rescued us last time, and we took his boat. This is a thank you gift."
Well.
Xiao Yeyang and Daohua looked at each other in disbelief.
Daohua thought to herself: My cheap master is really good at picking up things. She heard from her fourth brother that Xiao Yeyang has mastered a set of sword skills, and his martial arts skills have left them far behind.
Xiao Yeyang touched his nose awkwardly: How annoying is he? That strange monk seemed to dislike him very much.
At this time, Granny Gu spoke. Her emotions had stabilized. She looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile and said, "Master Daohua just talks like that. Don't take it to heart."
Xiao Yeyang immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, I don't care."
Gu Jian snorted and turned his eyes away.
Knowing that Gu Jian had a strange temper, Old Lady Yan had to step in to smooth things over. She asked with a smile, "Young man Yang, why aren't you studying at the academy?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Madam, I have almost finished studying the academy's courses. My uncle said that what is in books is useless. Only when you put it into practice can you be considered a real skill. So, starting this year, he often calls me to Ningmen Pass to train with the soldiers."
"How old are you? Isn't your uncle too strict?" Grandma Gu said with some disapproval.
Xiao Yeyang said, "As the saying goes, a sharp sword is forged through constant grinding. As a man of integrity, I am naturally not afraid of hardship or fatigue."
"Puff~"
Listening to Xiao Yeyang's bold speech, Daohua couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then, he immediately received four dissatisfied glances.
Daohua shrank her neck and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yeyang: "Go on, go on!"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, then looked at Old Lady Yan and the other two and continued, "My physical condition is pretty good. Although I feel a little tired during the training, I can still hold on. It's okay."
Granny Gu was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Yan simply didn't understand these things and didn't dare to speak rashly.
The two old ladies remained silent, but Gu Jian spoke up: "Even so, don't do it too often. You're still growing up, and the soldiers' training is too intense. If you don't make up for it in time, you'll suffer from old age illnesses at best, and even shorten your lifespan at worst."
As soon as Xiao Yeyang said this, Daohua spoke first before he could say anything: "Is it that serious?" Then, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Yeyang, "Xiao Yeyang, you should stop practicing. Just practice casually with my third and fourth brothers in the academy. There's no need to work so hard."
Xiao Yeyang was very touched by Daohua's concern, but he said, "Don't worry, I have a doctor with me all the time, so I won't get hurt. Besides..."
As he spoke, he leaned towards Daohua and whispered in her ear, "Don't I still have the medicinal bath bag you gave me? However, I'm almost out of it. You have to prepare some more for me."
With the same prescription and the same ingredients, the medicine bag made by the imperial physician is not as effective as Daohua's. It's really strange.
"You're welcome." Daohua glanced at him sideways.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "With a relationship like ours, do I really need to be polite?"
Daohua also smiled and tilted her head to look at him: "Xiao Yeyang, I find that you are becoming more and more shameless."
Xiao Yeyang didn't say anything. Seeing Old Lady Yan looking at him, he immediately said, "By the way, Old Lady, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai also want to join me in the military training. Have they told their families about this?"
Old Madam Yan was stunned. She didn't understand anything about learning martial arts. She immediately looked at Gu Jian and said, "Master Gu, my two grandsons are in good health. Can they go?"
Gu Jian thought for a moment and said, "I can go, but I have to keep up with the food. I also have to see a doctor regularly to check my health. If I feel tired, I have to stop immediately."
Old Lady Yan: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go home and talk to their parents."
