Tianyang Town has not changed much from three years ago. Lu Yang followed Su Langzhong to the only restaurant in the town. It is said to be a restaurant, but in fact it is not much different from a restaurant.
There are a few tables, and only twos and threes of people are dining in the store. After all, the consumption level in the town is limited, and sometimes no one comes in all day long.
Dr. Su has a great reputation in Tianyang Town, and almost all the families in the town have been treated by him. Who can live without an elderly person or without a child? Dr. Su is not only good at medical skills, but also only charges a small amount of medicine. People in the town
He has been treated like a living god. Even if he comes to eat here, he will not be charged much. At most, he will be charged the cost.
Su Langzhong brought Lu Yang to Tianyang Restaurant. As soon as they sat down, Su Langzhong said, "Wait a little longer! They will be here soon."
Lu Yang also guessed who was coming. It was a girl she didn't want to see.
Sure enough, not long after, a woman and a woman walked in front of the restaurant, both in their mid-teens and sixteens. The man was pretty handsome and was wearing a yellow gown. The woman couldn't be said to be absolutely beautiful, but she was somewhat pretty.
She is a rare little beauty. The two entered the restaurant, and just as the waiter in the store was about to greet them, the man waved his hand to indicate that they had found the person.
A man and a woman came over and came to the dining table where Lu Yang and Su Langzhong were sitting. The man said, "Lu Yang, it's been a long time since we last saw you. You've become a lot stronger."
The woman burst out laughing and said, "Why haven't we seen each other for a long time? Haven't we seen each other in three months?"
Lu Yang stood up, clasped his fists at the two of them, and said, "Xiao Cui, Wang Hao, how are you two doing lately?"
Wang Hao saluted Su Langzhong, then pulled Xiao Cui to sit down, waving his hands and saying: "It's still the same as before, there's nothing good or bad about it. Country people are busy with farm work every day, getting up early and staying up late. They're not as comfortable as you, and they have to carry their backs every day.
Traveling around the world with a medicine box and seeing all the scenery, I envy your life."
Lu Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't feel that he was living a good life. Instead, he envied Wang Hao. The reason was simple. Although Wang Hao's family was a little poor, his parents were still there, and the family lived together happily.
This is the life Lu Yang longs for. But after his mother passed away, he no longer had a complete family, nor could he feel his mother's love.
Seeing Lu Yang's expression change slightly, Wang Hao naturally thought of his family affairs and hurriedly said: "Lu Yang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter."
Lu Yang shook his head, smiled, and said, "It's all over." After saying that, he looked at Xiaocui and said, "How is Uncle Li's condition? Has he recovered?"
Li Xiaocui nodded and said gratefully: "Lu Yang, thank you very much. If you hadn't come in time that night, my father might have died." After saying that, he stood up and saluted Lu Yang.
Three months ago, Dr. Su went out to practice medicine. Lu Yang was soaking in a bucket of medicine. Suddenly he heard a knock on the door and a shout, so he put on his clothes and walked out.
After going out, I saw a mother and daughter. The woman was really Li Xiaocui, and the other was Li Xiaocui's mother.
After the two saw Lu Yang, they asked about Su Langzhong's whereabouts. When Lu Yang told them that Su Langzhong was no longer with his family, the old woman burst into tears on the spot.
After Lu Yang asked, he learned that Li Xiaocui's father broke his leg while doing farm work in the fields. If not treated in time, not only could his legs be saved, but his life might also be in danger. Lu Yang had learned medical skills for nearly three years, and it was also good for himself.
He was very confident, and when he saw his mother's painful look, he told them that they were disciples of Dr. Su and that they could go and have a try.
The mother and daughter took the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living doctor and asked Lu Yang to go. However, they did not expect that Lu Yang really had the time to complete the operation in a few hours and attached medicine. At that time, the mother and daughter were still a little worried and just hoped that
The life of Li Xiaocui's father, the master of the castle, was unexpectedly restored. Uncle Li recovered at an unimaginable speed and was able to walk in less than three months.
During this time, Li's mother had been asking Li Xiaocui to go to Lu Yang to thank her. Li Xiaocui also wanted to go, but considering some of the problems, it was difficult to go alone. After all, Li Xiaocui was still a young girl. If she was alone with a man,
, if someone sees you gossiping, how will you be a family in the future?
Li Xiaocui found Wang Hao, her childhood sweetheart. After discussing it, the two planned to go to Lu Yang to express their gratitude. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived outside the woods, they met Su Langzhong who was going shopping in the town. After Su Langzhong asked about the situation,
He told the two of them that he would bring Lu Yang to the town in three days to hold a ### ceremony for him, and asked them to come at that time.
The two thought for a while and then agreed, so today's scene happened.
Lu Yang had never been thanked by anyone before, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He touched his head and said, "These are all trivial matters. Even if you don't come to me, if you go to someone else, someone else will take care of it."
Wang Hao shook his head and said: "That's different. You are Dr. Su's apprentice and you have excellent medical skills."
While the three of them were talking, Mr. Su took the time to order some dishes. When he came back, he said, "What do you want to drink? Do you want some bamboo leaf greens?"
Zhuyeqing is a good local drink. In Western Chu, most adult men drink some.
Lu Yang never drank, and he never thought he would drink in the future, so he hurriedly said: "I don't want it anymore, just drink some tea."
Li Xiaocui is a girl, so of course she doesn't know how to drink. She said, "Me too, just drink some tea."
Although Wang Hao is young, one year younger than Lu Yang, he has been drinking since he was ten years old. He said: "I can drink some, but drinking alone is too boring."
"I can drink some with you." Su Langzhong said, "I only drink a few times a year. How can I not drink on this big day?"
Lu Yang was slightly startled and said in surprise: "Grandpa Su, do you also know how to drink?"
"Nonsense, I'm a seven-foot tall man, how can I not know how to drink?" Su Langzhong glared at Lu Yang and said angrily, "Don't think I don't know how to drink because I don't usually drink."
Lu Yang smiled coquettishly, and suddenly thought of the last part of Su Langzhong's sentence, and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa Su, you just mentioned a happy day, where did the joy come from?"
Su Langzhong counted with his fingers and pretended to be serious: "I watched the sky last night and found that the Purple Morning Star moved eastward, which means that someone has reached the age of ###rite. Do you think it is a happy day?"
"###礼?" Lu Yang also knew that whether it was a big family or an ordinary family, all the ### rituals were very important. In the past, the age for ### rituals was twenty years old. After the establishment of the Western Chu Kingdom, it was changed again.
The time is set, and the age of sixteen is determined. ### Ceremony is also called the year of the weak crown. Big families will hold a big banquet to pay homage to their ancestors, while ordinary people's families will gather together with relatives and friends to have a simple meal.
Lu Yang glanced at Wang Hao and Li Xiaocui, and couldn't help but frown. They were obviously not old enough, so they were definitely not them. Besides, even if the ### ceremony was held, it should be at home. How could it be in a place like this? Suddenly, Lu Yang
I thought about my birthday, isn’t it today?
However, Lu Yang had never told anyone his birthday, so how did Su Langzhong know?
Lu Yang looked at Mr. Su, his eyes full of confusion, and said, "Grandpa Su, you..."
Su Langzhong knew what he was going to say, and before Lu Yang could finish speaking, he interrupted: "Didn't I just say that when you watch the sky at night, can't I figure out your birthday?"
Lu Yang was completely speechless. He didn't believe that Su Langzhong could calculate so accurately. But if he couldn't calculate accurately, why could he reveal the secret that he had never told anyone else?
Lu Yang was too lazy to think about the reason. He stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Grandpa Su, Wang Hao, Xiaocui, thank you for coming to hold the ### ceremony for me."
"Thank you, we are all brothers. I will come to you for treatment in the future!" Wang Hao is the kind of carefree man who will say whatever comes to his mind without thinking.
After the food was served, everyone started eating and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the meal, Mr. Su said that he had something to deal with and left first.
Wang Hao came to Li Xiaocui, whispered a few words, and left as well.
For a moment, they were the only two people left at the dinner table. Li Xiaocui glanced at Lu Yang and moved her mouth a few times, but she didn't know what to say.
Lu Yang also saw that Li Xiaocui had something to say to him. This was obviously not the place to talk, so he suggested, "Let's go! Let's go for a walk in the woods outside the town."
Li Xiaocui nodded, then followed Lu Yang and walked out of the town.
Tianyang Town is not a big place, so the two of them walked for a while and then came to the woods. Neither of them spoke a word along the way.
The breeze blows with a hint of coolness, and the fallen leaves are swirling in the wind and blowing into the distance.
Lu Yang is a man after all. He broke the silence and said: "Xiao Cui, I have been studying medical skills with Grandpa Su for three years. I'm afraid I will have to leave here soon."
"Are you leaving Tianyang Town?" Li Xiaocui was startled and asked quickly, "Then where are you going?"
Lu Yang was not prepared to hide it from him. He only had two friends here, one was Li Xiaocui and the other was Wang Hao. Although he had not been in contact with them for a long time and did not talk much, the relationship between them was still good.
That's right. That's why Lu Yang felt that he must tell his friends about such a big thing.
"I may go to the academy to study. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time. If I have time, I should be able to come back once a year." Lu Yang answered truthfully.
"So long!" Li Xiaocui lowered her head, played with the corner of her clothes, and suddenly summoned the courage to say, "Lu Yang, can you wait a few years before leaving?"
Lu Yang frowned and asked stupidly: "Why wait a few years?"
Li Xiaocui moved her mouth, as if she wanted to express her inner thoughts, but in the end she didn't say it out and turned into a silent sigh.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Yang was an idiot emotionally. He couldn't understand Li Xiaocui's thoughts at all, and he also didn't understand the meaning of Li Xiaocui's words.
At that moment, Li Xiaocui wanted to say: Can you stay for me?
However, before Li Xiaocui could muster up the courage, she heard such a sentence and said with some displeasure: "Idiot, how could I not be feeling well? Isn't it..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yang slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "I understand, you haven't been feeling well these past few days, so you feel a little irritable, right?"
"You, you, you idiot." Li Xiaocui's pretty face flushed with anger, she glared at Lu Yang, turned and left.
Looking at Li Xiaocui's leaving figure, Lu Yang frowned and said to himself: "Why am I such an idiot again? It seems I didn't say anything wrong just now!"
