Three apprentices were born in the same year, month, day, and at the same time.

It seems that the fate of being chosen by others at the same time has some special arrangement.

Chen Ji thought of how old Yao liked to use the six-yao technique to tell fortunes, and the technique of carrying stones and holding piles that could withstand ice currents. He always felt that there were many secrets about this master.

Could it be that in this world, the Six Yao Technique really has the mysterious method of asking the heavens above and the underworld below?

Just as he was thinking about it, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue gown came to the door. Liu Quxing hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Steward Wang, are you coming to the hospital so late?"

The middle-aged man bowed his hands to old man Yao: "Mr. Yao, my old lady had vomiting and diarrhea after lunch, and is now unconscious in bed. My master has sent me to invite you to come for consultation. If you are willing to come,

Thank you very much."

Old Yao glanced at him and tossed six coins on the counter: "The fire is bright, the wind is bright... It's not a good time to go out tonight, I won't go."

Chen Ji: Huh?

The housekeeper looked troubled: "Mr. Yao, you are a doctor and you need to have the benevolence of a doctor. How can you ignore people's lives just because of an illusory hexagram?"

"Why are there so many doctors in Luo City missing me?" Old Man Yao glared at him: "You Li family have always been stingy. Last time you came to see a doctor at night, you were promised a big thank you. But after I went to the clinic, I just got a prick.

The acupuncture cured his mother's headache. Your old lady thought it was too easy for me to make money, so she wanted to skip the so-called thank you gift. Before leaving, she actually gave me two smoked and salted fish. Whoever likes it can go!"

Butler Wang was anxious: "Mr. Yao, my old lady is very old. Please be considerate..."

Old Man Yao stroked his beard: "Don't let age matter. She is more than thirty years younger than me. No one in the whole Luo City can rely on me to live up to my old age."

Butler Wang: "..."

Old Man Yao waved his hand: "She Dengke, see you off!"

After She Dengke sent away Butler Wang, he came back and said to Old Yao: "Master, why don't you let us make medical visits? We can earn one tael of silver per visit."

Old Man Yao cursed angrily: "You have been here for two years and you can't even feel my pulse. Now, what's the difference between asking you guys to make a diagnosis and sending a killer there?"

She Dengke's breath was stagnant: "Master, I have tried hard to learn..."

Old Yao raised his hand and slapped She Dengke on the arm with a bamboo stick: "Go and cook!"

She Dengke hurriedly walked to the backyard, and Liu Quxing followed him. One was as tall and strong as an iron tower, and the other was as thin as a hemp pole.

When they arrived at the backyard, She Dengke said in a deep voice: "You have gone too far today. None of our fellow disciples have done this to you."

Liu Quxing was startled for a moment: "Am I going too far? Why have I gone too far? His family doesn't pay him the academic money. Is it my fault? Don't forget, Master can only accept one person as his direct disciple!"

She Dengke fell into deep thought. Only his direct disciples could take over the official position in Taiyuan Hospital. The three apprentices were already in a competitive relationship.

…

…

The smell of rice wafted from the kitchen, and a low dining table and low stools were set up in the yard. Old Yao was holding a bowl of millet porridge and slowly drank it.

There was a plate of pickles and a plate of tofu on the table. She Dengke and Liu Quxing sat on the small stools. They didn't dare to pick up chopsticks until the master finished eating and wiped his mouth.

Chen Ji couldn't afford the money, so he didn't even have a place to sit, so he could only stand aside and eat grain pancakes.

I don't know what kind of wild vegetables were mixed into the multi-grain pancake, which was a bit hard to swallow. Chen Ji took a ladle of water from the water jar, put the pancake in his stomach with the water, and walked to the main hall carrying the bucket and rag.

Old Yao glanced at him: "It's already dark and you still go to work?"

"I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish my work tomorrow, so I got up and wiped the floor first," Chen Ji explained.

Old Man Yao scratched his eyebrows and said, "Bitter meat scheme? Don't show me the bitter meat scheme. I won't be soft-hearted."

Chen Ji smiled: "No, Master, I will earn the academic money and give it to you as soon as possible."

He really wanted to stay in the hospital. Whether it was the threat from the White Rabbit and the Cloudy Sheep, or the unsolved mystery of the ice flow in his body, he needed to stay here to find a solution.

The situation after he came to this world seemed not to be good...but there was nothing to complain about. The world gave him a chance to live again, which was already pretty good.

The pessimist is always right, but the optimist can always move forward.

Chen Ji put the bucket on the ground and wrung out the rag to wipe the floor. However, the moment he bent down, the ice flow in his body suddenly appeared without warning!

A bone-chilling cold hit, quickly draining the temperature from Chen Wei's body.

In just a few breaths, his whole body began to tremble, as if he was wearing thin clothes in the cold winter months.

"What exactly is this ice flow? Is it really the ghost of an unjust person after death? Maybe we can observe it when master beats a certain senior brother to death..."

Chen Ji trembled and used the technique of carrying a stone and holding a pile to suppress the ice flow. The strange thing is that this time the ice flow did not shrink back to the Dantian, but continued to bump around in the body, as if looking for something.

He felt the direction of the ice flow and looked behind the counter, where there were rows of vermilion medicine cabinets.

"What attracts you?" Chen Ji moved towards the medicine cabinet step by step until he opened the drawer with the word 'ginseng' written on it!

There is only one 50-year-old ginseng in the drawer.

Chen Ji felt the guidance of the ice flow and tried to touch the beard of the 50-year-old ginseng with his hand. However, he saw that the six beards of the ginseng melted and turned into transparent liquid, flowing in the palm of his hand, and finally condensed into a bead.

, thumb size.

In just an instant, the ice flow in the body was drained away, completely gone!

Um?

What is this thing for?

Chen Ji picked up the bead and looked at it carefully. Inside the transparent bead, there seemed to be a thin, snake-like mist swimming around.

He was thinking about whether to eat the bead, but then he thought, if he ate it, wouldn't the ice flow return to his body?

Don't rush to eat it yet, the beads can't escape anyway, check whether there is any information about it in the book.

Chen Ji stuffed the beads into his sleeves and looked down at the old ginseng plant. Less than half of its originally dense roots were bald...

"Will Master find something abnormal? With his stingy character, if he finds that the old ginseng is in bad condition, how much more money will I have to pay?! Will he kick me out of the hospital directly?!"

Chen Ji was shocked when he thought of this. He immediately went to the medical clinic to check the inventory and turned to the page of old ginseng: "One fifty-year-old ginseng costs three coins and fourteen roots."

A penny weighs about 3 grams. He remembers this account very carefully. As long as Old Man Yao checks the inventory, he will definitely discover the problem with this old ginseng.

He frowned and closed the drawer, which made the already poor family even worse. He didn't know how often Old Yao checked the inventory. He had to solve this problem before the other party checked the inventory next time.

However, what he needs to solve more is the immediate trouble: tomorrow's school entrance examination.

After Chen Ji wiped the floor, he didn't go back to sleep. Instead, he found "General Outline of Medical Skills" and looked through it. Although it was too late to learn from scratch now, he still had to learn it.

The sooner you learn, the less you will be beaten.

At this time, slight footsteps came from the backyard, and Chen Ji put the general outline of medical skills under the counter.

He turned around and saw Liu Quxing wearing a coat, peeking at him.

"Senior brother, why are you awake?"

"I got up at night to urinate and came to see you," Liu Quxing came over slyly: "I have to tell you something, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy."

"What's up?"

Liu Quxing said: "I asked you to help with the work today because I really want to help you. Otherwise, if you can't pay the school loan, you will really be kicked home by the master. Don't listen to She Dengke's nonsense. I don't mean any harm."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Liu, I know your good intentions."

"Okay, as long as you know my good intentions," Liu Quxing put on his coat and returned to the house. She Dengke was still snoring.

He shook She Dengke: "Wake up! Wake up!"

No response.

Liu Quxing said again: "Wake up quickly, Chen Ji is secretly reviewing his studies!"

With a sound, She Dengke sat up: "What?!"

Liu Quxing quickly changed the subject: "I just got up to pee, and I wanted to see why Chen Ji hadn't come back to sleep yet, but I found out that he was secretly reading a book while we were sleeping!"

She Dengke was shocked: "So despicable?!"

"Really? How about we learn it too!"

She Dengke was impatient: "Why study in the middle of the night? Sleep! You are not allowed to study!"

"Well! Don't study! Go to sleep!"

In the middle of the night, She Dengke was awakened by the urge to urinate. He stood up and saw that he was the only one left in the room at some point.

The tall and muscular young man got up suspiciously, put on his long gown and walked into the courtyard, only to find that there was an orange-red firelight in the kitchen.

When he opened the door, he saw that Liu Quxing was wearing a coat, sitting on a small bench next to the stove, lighting an oil lamp, and holding a book on the pathology of typhoid fever...

"Damn you!" She Dengke covered Liu Quxing's mouth and beat him. Even Chen Ji didn't expect that he would bring the evil spirit involved in him to the hospital.

While they were being beaten, a girl carrying a lantern came hurriedly to the door of the medical center and shouted loudly: "Mr. Yao, Physician Yao!"

The three words "Prince Jing's Mansion" are written on the white paper lantern.

The girl's shouts attracted the attention of everyone in the hospital. She Dengke stopped beating Liu Quxing's hand and ran out.

He came to the main hall and opened the door: "Chunhua, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Miss Chunhua looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a bright green skirt and had a beautiful appearance. She asked eagerly: "She Dengke, where is Imperial Physician Yao?"

At this time, Old Man Yao arrived late and asked slowly, holding his hands behind his back, "What's wrong?"
