Chapter 139 Ancient Version of Poor Little One 24

It turned out to be a serious old man from what we heard. He had ten apprentices in total, but only five of them have graduated so far.

Qu Nannan continued to eavesdrop. It turned out that it was not that the apprentice was not skilled enough to become a disciple, but that the old man had very high requirements. If there was even one thing that did not satisfy him, the apprentice would not be able to become a disciple successfully.

A rigorous teacher is not bad. At least a doctor cannot tolerate any carelessness when treating patients. The only bad thing about this old man is that he looks down on women too much.

If she were to study with him and be discovered to be a girl, Qu Nannan didn't dare to imagine the consequences. Besides, Qu Nannan really didn't like studying with someone who placed patriarchy above all else.

Old man Wang Xian passes.

The last one is Dr. Yue Qunshan from Xiancaotang. Seeing the same style of white beard, Qu Nannan was full of questions. Why is white beard a standard feature of old doctors here?

Although his hair and beard were all white, his ruddy and chubby face showed that he was in good health. He had a kind face and even when he was serious, he didn't look angry.

Doctor Yue has many disciples. It can be said that this old man likes to teach. No matter whether it is a doctor or a female doctor, as long as they ask him about medical matters, he will tell you everything he knows and will not get tired of talking to you no matter how long it takes.

There were twenty people who formally became his disciples, and now all of them have completed their apprenticeship. The old man did not force them to stay and serve him, but sent them all away to start their own businesses.

There are countless informal disciples who come to seek advice from him. Moreover, this old man has a compassionate heart. When he sees poor people who cannot afford medical treatment, he often pays for their medicine out of his own pocket.

Even though he runs such a large clinic, he lives a very poor life. If it weren't for his many disciples who couldn't bear it and often helped him, it is not certain whether the clinic could continue to operate.

Although many people were grateful to him in person, and many people said he was stupid behind his back, Doctor Yue didn't care and continued to do his own thing. Although this old man was a little saintly, Qu Nannan decided to choose this old man.

After a few days of observation, Qu Nannan made a decision and came to the door with gifts the next day.

As soon as I entered the clinic, the pharmacist standing in front of the medicine cabinet asked, "Are you here to see a doctor or buy medicine?"

Qu Nannan bowed and said, "Please tell him that I need to see Doctor Yue for something."

Most of the people sitting in the hall are Doctor Yue's youngest disciples. Their senior brothers have all set up their own schools. The young disciples are worried about their master, so they stay to accompany him. Hearing someone looking for his master, Yue Yun turned his head and looked at the person.

Yue Yun is a child picked up by Doctor Yue. The child was thrown on the snow in the middle of winter. If Doctor Yue had not found him early, there would have been no such person as Yue Yun in the world. That's why when Yue Yun proposed to stay, Old Man Yue did not strongly object.

In Doctor Yue's mind, children are all young eagles. When they grow up, they should fly out and make their own way. There is no future for them to follow a poor old man like him. The little apprentice is an orphan without family, so he agreed to let him stay, because it happened that his clinic would need an heir a hundred years later.

That’s right, Doctor Yue is the only one who has no other family members. Otherwise, with his personality, his family would be in chaos.

Yue Yun saw that the person who came was a young boy, and roughly guessed the purpose of the boy's coming here: "Come with me, I will take you to see the old master. Shuanzhu, you watch ahead."

"Okay, Master, go ahead. I'll call you if there's anything."

Qu Nannan followed Yue Yun to the backyard of the clinic, which was smaller than the one Qu Nannan lived in. The small yard was full of herbs drying in the sun, and it looked a bit messy. One had to be careful not to step on the herbs on the ground when walking.

Doctor Yue was squatting in a small medicinal field, observing something: "Master, someone is looking for you."

As he spoke, he went over to help Doctor Yue up. Doctor Yue pushed Yue Yun's hand away and said, "You little brat, I'm in good health, why do I need help? What did you say? Someone is looking for me?"

Doctor Yue turned around and saw Qu Nannan. He looked at her for a long time but didn't remember knowing her. "You're looking for me? What do you want from me, little girl?"

When Yue Yun heard his master calling her a little girl, he looked at Qu Nannan in surprise. This, this, isn't this a boy?

Qu Nannan didn't think she could fool a doctor who dealt with patients all year round: "Yes, I'm here to become his disciple, but I don't know if Doctor Yue will accept a woman like me?"

Doctor Yue patted the dirt off his hands and sat on the chair: "Becoming a disciple has nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not. I still need to test you on something else. Come over and sit down. I'll ask you a few questions."

Yue Yun stared in amazement at the kid who came with his master. No, the little girl was speaking happily to every question and answer.

What surprised him was that this little girl's knowledge of herbs was no worse than his own. It took him more than ten years to reach this level, but how did this girl learn all this? Did she start learning all this while she was in her mother's womb?

Doctor Yue laughed: "Not bad, you have a smart brain, it seems you have put a lot of effort in it. You came here mainly to learn pulse diagnosis and acupuncture, right? From which master did you learn the rest of the knowledge?"

"I don't have a master. I learned all this from books. I want to learn more about medicine, so I came to you. I hope you can accept me as your apprentice."

Doctor Yue was even happier when he heard that there was no master. Who wouldn’t want to be the only master of a good seedling?

"Okay, okay, Yue Yun, hurry up and make some tea for your sister. After she drinks the tea, she won't be able to run away."

Doctor Yue meant to just let Qu Nannan offer tea and become his disciple. He was a free-spirited person all his life and didn't care about too many formalities. As long as he was willing, a cup of tea would be enough.

Doctor Yue waited for a long time but didn't hear Yue Yun's answer. He looked at Yue Yun who was looking at them with his mouth wide open, and his eyes twitched. How could such an open-minded and cheerful person teach such a clumsy apprentice?

"What are you standing there for? Go make some tea."

Yue Yun finally realized what his master meant: "Oh, oh, Master, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Yue Yun rushed to the guest room in a hurry. After a while, he brought out a cup of tea and carefully brought out a cushion and placed it in front of his master.

Qu Nannan took the teacup and knelt on the futon, holding the teacup high: "Master, please have some tea."

Doctor Yue's eyes narrowed with laughter. He took the teacup and took a sip: "Okay, okay, my good disciple, please get up quickly."

Yue Yun looked at the scene of master and disciple having fun in front of him, feeling sour in his heart. His master had never been so kind to him before, and all he did all day long was call him a bad boy. Was this the different treatment between men and women?
