Breakfast was just a bowl of porridge and a few pickles.The two of them were full of water, and they couldn't wait to continue cultivating the meditation pile, hoping to get started as soon as possible.It's just that the pain in their shoulders seems to have erupted now, and the pain is so great that it is difficult to even lift their arms, and they can't bear it, so they have to ask Mr.
Qian for advice, and they are finally allowed to go out of the branch of the Lieyang Gang and go to the nearby hospital to buy medicine.North Street, as bustling as ever.The bustling flow of people, constantly entering and exiting the shops on both sides, rich sons, rich ladies, and chivalrous guests, wandering among them.Bai Ziyue and Zhang Guoyi were coarse and linen, and they seemed to be a little out of place in them.They try to walk on the edge of the road and avoid other pedestrians.During this period, there were naturally medical clinics, but the medical clinics that could be opened on North Street, even if it was the most basic pharmacy, the price was not affordable for them.Therefore, after almost walking out of the range of North Street, the two found a small medical clinic in a remote alley.There were no other patients in the medical hall at this time, a middle-aged doctor was sitting inside, holding a book, looking leisurely, and there was a medicine boy not far away, carefully and seriously grinding what medicine."
Doctor, we" Bai Ziyue and Zhang Guoyi stepped in with some apprehension.Money is a person's guts, and with the three coins of silver given to him by his mother in his arms, Bai Ziyue was a little apprehensive."
Strength to pass on the merit to the injured, little boy, give them those two black paper plasters."
The doctor just glanced at the two of them and made a judgment directly.The medicine boy quickly put down the grinding rod in his hand and pulled out two black ointments wrapped in paper from a compartment."
How much?"
Bai Ziyue hurriedly asked."
Two, thirty.The swelling can be reduced in one day, and it can be restored in two to three days. ”The medicine boy said skillfully."
Give you money."
Bai Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, thirty was not expensive, it was within his affordability."
Take off your clothes, I'll put them on for you."
The medicine boy found the money and said kindly."
Thank you!"
Bai Ziyue was not polite, and simply took off his clothes.I saw that on Bai Ziyue's thin body, there were vague lines of muscles, which were slightly tense, and six muscles on his stomach were exposed.However, on his even figure, the bruises and bruises on his shoulders were shocking.There was no nonsense, the medicine boy tore open the paper and slapped the black paper paste down.Bai Ziyue gasped, and immediately felt a steady stream of coolness coming from the ointment, and his arm, which was originally a little numb and difficult to move, suddenly relaxed a lot.After a few breaths, he was able to lift his arms slightly, not as unbearably as before."
It's so cool!"
Zhang Guoyi screamed and grinned.After getting dressed, Bai Ziyue hesitated for a while, walked up to the middle-aged doctor, bowed down and said, "Doctor, I want to read, do you think there are any books that can help me read and write?"
”"Oh?"
The middle-aged doctor was a little interested, and said with a smile: "At a young age, it is rare to have this kind of self-motivation.Judging by your appearance, it should be a new apprentice in a certain place, and he is also a poor family, and he really doesn't have much money to go to a private school.However, someone needs to teach you how to read, how to write, and what it means.It is difficult to grasp knowledge by self-study. ”"I don't have enough money, so I have to ask someone to teach me how to read, and I don't have the time to dedicate to learning.So I want to learn to read on my own, please recommend an enlightenment book, if there are words I don't know, I can also ask others. ”Bai Ziyue said sincerely.In fact, with the knowledge of studying in college in his previous life, Bai Ziyue believes that there will be no obstacles to understanding and writing words and sentences.Although the two worlds are different, there is always a place to meet.What he lacks is only the knowledge of the words of this world.He is also an extremely smart person, and he has learned about a dozen words by looking at the signboards of the surrounding shops along the way.Under the bypass, he believes that he will be able to grasp more and more words."
Okay, ambitious, go out three hundred meters to the right, there is an old Qin bookstore, you ask the owner of the bookstore to take a small picture and learn words according to the map, which is suitable for your situation."
The middle-aged physician said with a smile.If it is an orthodox child who reads a private school, it is naturally applicable to the three-character classic, and the surname of the hundred families is regarded as enlightenment.But for people like Bai Ziyue who have no teacher to teach, it is of course more appropriate to learn characters according to the map."
Thank you, Doctor."
Bai Ziyue thanked him respectfully."
Ziyue, the money for the ointment, I will return it to you when I receive the salary in the future."
Walking out of the medical hall, Zhang Guoyi whispered."
It's fine."
Bai Ziyue waved his hand, even though he didn't have much money on him, he didn't care so much about this little money."
Are you really going to buy books, though?
We're illiterate, so there's no need, right?
”Zhang Guoyi asked with some confusion."
It's necessary."
Bai Ziyue turned his head to look at him, and said seriously: "Zhang Guoyi, we are in the same village, and we should take care of each other, but in the same way, if you don't work hard, no one can help you."
To succeed here, martial arts are important, but literacy is also very important.For example, if you are lucky enough to get a martial arts cheatbook, but you can't read, wouldn't you miss it?
”"Seems like so."
Zhang Guoyi nodded ignorantly, but still said with some distress: "I know that reading is useful, literacy, and it is better to find a job, but I can't do it, my ancestors have not been literate for eight generations, I can't do it." ”Bai Ziyue smiled bitterly and shook his head, and did not try to persuade again.Everyone has their own choice, if you don't work hard, it's useless for others to be in a hurry.Soon, a book house appeared in front of their eyes."
Old Qin Book House!"
Bai Ziyue looked at the signboard deeply, and from the doctor's words, he knew four more words.Ten minutes later, Bai Ziyue walked out of the old Qin library satisfied.And in his hand, there is an extra book half a finger thick and full of pictures, which is exactly what the middle-aged doctor said.In the small explanation, a certain picture is often deliberately drawn, and then a few words are written next to it for comparison.For example, a snake is drawn in a book, and the word snake is written next to it, which can be described as a clear contrast and clear at a glance."
In this way, my literacy speed will be greatly improved.The only thing that is a little helpless is that the price of this book is indeed too expensive. ”Bai Ziyue's face showed a hint of pain.Two pieces of black paper paste only cost him thirty, but a small illustration is one hundred and twenty, which is indeed expensive.It's just that books have always been more expensive, and there is nothing he can do.
