Shopkeeper Wang led the way in front, turned a few alleys, and the two came to a bustling market."
The main store of Jishitang is at the very end of the market, and it will be there soon.""
When the time comes, the owner will come to see you when he is free and ask what to respond truthfully, the owner likes well-behaved children.""
Thank you for the reminder, boy.""
The owner is still very talkative, and I can say a few words in front of me.""
Then there are a lot of good words from the shopkeeper, and if the boy deserves to be an apprentice, he will be rewarded in the future.""
If you kid has this heart, you can do it!""
Here we are, remember what I just said."
The pharmacy in front of you occupies an area of three or four ordinary shops, and the plaque is written with three big characters of Jishitang.The smell of herbs came to the nose, and several guys in the lobby were busy handling medicinal herbs and packing medicines for guests.Shopkeeper Wang took Bu You into the side door and walked directly to the backyard."
Follow me."
Walk to the front of the main house in the backyard."
Wait here for a moment."
Then the king's treasurer knocked on the door and entered the house.Bu You looked at the few children standing there beside him, all of whom were seven or eight years old.Standing with his head bowed and motionless, he looked more mature than his age.It can be seen from the clothes on their bodies that most of them are from poor families.Bu You also bowed his head and waited, and half an hour had passed.I don't know how long it has been."
Squeak!"
The door was finally pushed open from within, and an old man with a thin figure and an indifferent expression walked out, dressed in silky satin.There were three people behind him, and the shopkeeper Wang stood beside the old man with a smile on his face."
Something is not there for the owner today.""
This is Master Wu!
Responsible for selecting apprentices today. ”The shopkeeper Wang looked embarrassed, glanced at Buyou and whispered: "This Master Wu is not a person who is easy to get along with. ”"There are so many people coming here today, and it seems that the apprenticeship is a little suspenseful.""
Hello Master Wu!"
A few waiting children hurriedly bent down and bowed their hands."
Hmm!"
The emaciated old man nodded, his eyes scanning the children."
Is there any of you who can read?""
Yes," "Yes." ”One of the five or six children came out and glanced at Bu You, who had also stepped forward."
Are you both literate?"
Obviously, Master Wu asked casually, but he didn't expect that someone really recognized it, it was still the two of them.Curiously asked, "What books have you read?"
How many words do you know?
”"I have studied a thousand words of essays, and I have also learned a hundred enlightened essays.""
I can recognize all the words in the book, that is~ the words are a little ugly.""
Hmmm!
Yes, enough!
”Master Wu nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "What's your name?"
”"Ling Wenfeng.""
It's a name that has read a book, standing behind me."
Ling Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed joy, "Yes!"
Master Wu. ”Then Master Wu looked at Bu You again, "What books have you read again?"
”"Hmmm!
~Ah~" Bu You scratched his head, unable to remember what books he had read."
Humph!"
Master Wu's face was a little unpleasant, and he pointed to the corner of the courtyard: "Go!"
Whoever can carry a bundle of herbs in front of me will keep it. ”Shopkeeper Wang's face became even more ugly.It's nothing more than the medicinal herbs that Master Wu said, a bundle weighs nearly 100 catties, and adults are quite laborious, not to mention a few seven or eight-year-old children.It seems that this Master Wu has no intention of having the remaining children at all.It's just an impossible.A person standing behind Master Wu stepped forward and grabbed one of the children, "Sanwa, let's go!"
”Master Wu refused: "My third baby is weak, it seems that there is no such blessing, so I quit." ”"Hmmm!
Let's go!
”Master Wu said with a straight face at this time: "You guys have to try early, if you can't go!"
”"I'll give it a try."

Among the remaining children, a delicate child walked out and stepped forward to salute Master Wu.Turned around and walked to the corner of the courtyard, searched around the pile of medicinal herbs for a long time, and picked a bundle that looked less.All eyes were on the child.Bu You ignored everyone's gaze, tightened the cloth belt around his waist, and grabbed the medicinal herbs with both hands."
Hey!
Rise!
”The blue tendons on his forehead bulged high, and his face was flushed.His body began to get hot, and Bu You desperately squeezed his potential."
Ahh~Click~Click~" Musculoskeletal noises sounded, and tears blurred vision.Suddenly lifted the bundle of medicinal herbs and walked a few steps, throwing the medicinal herbs in front of Master Wu.Then his legs went weak and he collapsed directly to the ground."
Whew, snort~~" Sweating profusely, it took a while to get up and shake off his dizzy head.Obviously, Bu You's success gave several other children a glimmer of hope.Then he stepped forward with a swarthy and stocky little fat man, and after saluting, he came to the medicine pile.also learned from Bu You's appearance, but unfortunately no matter how hard the little fat man exerted, his saliva wet his chest.The bundle of herbs seemed to have taken root, and it didn't move.After a while, the little fat man ran out of strength and had to give up, squatting on the ground and crying.The shopkeeper shook his head, feeling that these children who were not selected were a little pitiful, but they were helpless.Bu You saluted the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, turned around and left with Master Wu.Entering the pharmacy, Master Wu said, "Remember, there are two kinds of apprentices: internal and external. ”"Inside: Identify the properties of medicines, learn pharmacology, and be able to write and calculate prescriptions.""
Outside: Recognize medicinal materials, sort and process, soak and dry, and go out to collect and buy.""
Ling Wenfeng followed the old man to learn housekeeping."
Pointing to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, he said to Bu You: "You just listen to Xiao Qi's arrangement." ”After speaking, he turned around and left the pharmacy with Ling Wenfeng.The young man walked over and looked at Bu You."
Whether it is an internal affairs or an external affairs apprentice, you have to work for three years to do chores, be familiar with the process, and polish your mind."
The young man continued: "After three years, if the master is satisfied, he will officially start teaching medicine, and he will receive a monthly salary from now on. ”"During this period, you must obey the arrangements of the masters, beating and scolding is a common thing, and there must be no complaints, otherwise you will be kicked out of Jishitang.""
Dare to ask what senior brother is called?""
Huh!
There is money left. ”Bu You was busy with a salute."
Hello Senior Brother Yu!
Can you tell me what if the master is not satisfied?
”"Then you can only continue to do chores, and you can't always take care of the food.""
That means that if a foreign apprentice can't learn medical skills, there is no way out at all?""
Of course there is!"
Senior Brother Yu looked at Bu You with a smile, "Unless you can learn advanced martial arts, practice well and be favored by the people of the county head office, you can go to that county town to do things." ”Bu You's eyes lit up, and the little heart that had just cooled up again."
After a month, someone will pass on a basic martial art to the foreign affairs apprentice, which can increase strength and be used for self-defense."
Senior Brother Yu didn't want to say more at this time."
It's going to be a long time later, this is the house where you and the other apprentices live."
After speaking, he pointed to the simple house in front of him, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.Bu You pushed open the hidden door, entered the house, and his eyes were dark, and he had just recovered.The two children walked over and said, "The new kid is coming in." ”I saw half of the room with tools for handling medicinal herbs, and there was not much space left for four beds.The boy who spoke just now was only eight or nine years old.The chubby body has a round head on top of it, and a pair of small eyes that you have to look closely to see.Get!
With this smile, there are only two lines left in the eyes.Standing next to him was a tall, thin man of the same age, looking listlessly."
Call me Bu You!"
The child sitting on the bed spoke first."
My name is Ling Wenfeng!"
Pointing at Chubby: "He's Pi Shi." ”The thin and tall man took over the words without waiting for the introduction: "I~I~I~called~~Chen Tie~~~ egg!"
”"Haha!""
Huh!"?
