Chapter 025: Behind
Zhong Jiuchou's joking tone caused Shaotang to fly out the machete he was cutting bamboo in without hesitation and throw it at Zhong Jiuchou with all his strength.
"I'm happy with it. I want you to take care of it. Everyone has pursuits. I'm not like you, who can only open his mouth for food and stretch out his hands for clothes. My pursuit is to be a miracle doctor who can save the world, isn't it?"
Zhong Jiuchou turned sideways easily, dodged the machete casually, and laughed "hahahaha".
"Do you want to save the world? Do you want to be a miracle doctor? At such a young age, you really dare to tell lies without conscience, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue."
Ran Shaotang stood up in anger and threw the bamboo in his hand over: "Zhong Jiuchou, you eat my food, drink my food and live in my house, why do you slander me like this?"
Zhong Jiuchou was leaning under the pillar and watching Ran Shaotang peeling bamboo, deliberately playing with her like a kitten. Seeing that Shaotang was really angry, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh: "I've only seen you kill people with poison.
I’ve never seen you treat illnesses and save lives.”
"Everyone in the world is suffering. Do you think you are just using medical skills and drugs to save people on the surface? Letting them get rid of poverty, have enough food and clothing, and live a happy life is also a way to save people." Ran Shaotang saw the bamboo thrown astray and almost fell into the pond.
, he was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left.
Zhong Jiuchou was thoughtful, pointing to the villagers who were planting trees on the other side of the mountain, and the people who were building the bluestone path halfway up the mountain, and seemed to have some realization: "You don't want to tell me that you are saving people? I
I feel that you are exploiting and squeezing people."
Ran Shaotang sat in the newly built octagonal pavilion, ignored Zhong Jiuchou, picked up the tea cup and drank two sips of herbal tea to quench his thirst, and laughed "hehehe" a few times to himself.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhong Jiuchou couldn't wait for her answer and chased her curiously.
Ran Shaotang put down the tea cup: "If I don't provide them with work stations, they will have to work in the fields. If there is no work in the fields, their income will be reduced. I give them so much money, it will be enough for them to spend a year.
They get the money to buy new clothes for their families, make delicious and improved food, repair old houses, and make their families live better. Isn't this right? Isn't this saving people?"
Zhong Jiuchou looked at Ran Shaotang with a deep look.
I feel that this little person always has a stubbornness and strange thoughts that are different from ordinary people. It seems that there is another person in Ran Shaotang's small body, who is not as mature as she should be at her age.
Ran Shaotang's spine trembled with Zhong Jiuchou's gaze. He suddenly realized that he had said too many things that he shouldn't have said.
She often forgets that she is a ten-year-old child now. Even if she is said to be mature, she still has to restrain herself in front of Zhong Jiuchou.
Otherwise, I don't know if he will find something new one day, and there will be no chance of him turning around.
She looked at the sun in the sky and stood up pretending to be relaxed: "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going to visit my master." After saying that, Zhong Jiuchou disappeared without waiting for a word.
Already.
Zhong Jiuchou looked at the half cup of tea on the stone table, stood up, walked to the pond, picked up the bamboo thrown by Shaotang on the way, studied it for a long time, and decided to give her a surprise.
Since that day when the sect master Feng Rang detoxified him, Shaotang had to cut a small bowl of blood for his master to drink every day.
It took him nine days to drink enough for the holy medicine to fully circulate in his body and remove the remaining toxins.
This was what my aunt and master told her in sign language that day in front of everyone.
Xie Yingren was worried that Shaotang would be unable to bear it, but she didn't care and was happy to donate her blood to her master.
After all, everyone in the entire sect now knows that she, Ran Shaotang, has half of the credit for saving the master.
Her classmates who once came to Kunfeng to look for trouble no longer dared to look coldly at her. At least the scene maintained a harmonious and happy atmosphere.
Of course, there are also people who do not know how to analyze the pros and cons of a situation and who do not know how to analyze the pros and cons of a situation. They just jump out and play monkey tricks.
In the past two days, a few of her schoolmates, who had a crooked appearance and who could not be seen by her master, stood in a row and blocked her way, insisting on forcing her to change the plaque on her new house.
.
"Ran Shaotang, do you know you are wrong?"
"Wrong? Whose fault do you know? Did you senior brothers not sleep well last night and lacked 'teaching'?"
"Why is the place where you live called Medicine King Palace? Even the sect master dare not hang this plaque up where he lives. What ability do you have?"
"I don't have much ability. If some senior brothers are capable, they can go to the sect master and sue me."
They did not expect that Ran Shaotang was not afraid of such a scene at all.
A man with a rectangular face came out to smooth things over, pretending to be a good person: "Junior brother Shaotang, you'd better take off the plaque quickly, our senior brothers are doing it for your own good."
"It's for my own good to block my way and form such a huge formation to scare people? What if I don't pick it?"
"Then we have no choice but to go and talk to our master."
"Then please, get out of the way as soon as possible."
Shaotang waved his sleeves and wanted to leave, but the others refused to give way.
Zhong Jiuchou followed him quietly at some point and stood far behind Shaotang. In front of several people, he touched a weeping willow tree on the roadside and made two virtual chops at the trunk with his hand as a knife.
After seeing Zhong Jiuchou's movements clearly, these people immediately turned around and scattered. Shaotang was puzzled by what he was doing.
This group of people came and went in a strange way.
However, from then on, no one stopped her on the road.
On the way to Tingyun Pavilion, everyone who saw her, whether they knew her or not, would take the initiative to say hello to her.
He was a bit more enthusiastic than he was towards Zhong Jiuchou, the person who provided the antidote.
After breaking the tree in the air, Zhong Jiuchou has become the demon king that all the disciples can avoid. Although Shaotang is now a popular figure around the sect leader like Zhong Jiuchou, she has no intimidating power and cannot be approached.
The third and fourth uncles also stopped getting angry with her.
Because she took the initiative to pay for the work and perfectly solved the problem of no one to work.
Now not only do people help her work, there are also people competing to work in the fields, orchards, lakes, and medicinal fields of several masters.
She was afraid that Xie Yingren would watch Zhong Jiuchou and quarrel every day, so she sent him to watch the work.
Everyone who works goes to Xie Yingren to receive money when he takes the initiative to report for work.
The senior brothers who usually like to throw dirty clothes to Xie Yingren for washing have become polite to him. Every day after finishing work, he can always bring some food back to Chenxing Pavilion. Sometimes it is pheasants hunted by the villagers, sometimes it is someone's grandmother.
Steamed jujube cake.
All the senior fellow apprentices enjoyed a lot of delicious food.
Shaotang gave Xie Yingren the right to reward others. If someone did well, Xie Yingren had the right to give that person more money. Therefore, the villagers would always bring him some delicious food.
It's just that Jingshan's disciples were a little aggrieved when they saw the villagers taking such money.
To do the same work, they still have to study medicine when they return to the peak, and they also have to wash and cook for their master. They are only given a few copper coins every month, which is really pitiful.
They also wanted to do some work with Ran Shaotang.
I wonder if Junior Brother Ran wants it?
Ran Shaotang had already thought of this problem.
If it weren't for the clearly written rules of Jingshan, disciples wouldn't be able to go out casually.
She especially wanted her capable senior brothers to help her go out and open a bank in Qianmen Town. Unfortunately, she had to get the consent of her master.
