Chapter 235 - Farmhouse



Zheng Chuan fell silent and replied in a low voice: “My real name is’Zheng Zixuan’. When I was eight years old, I was picked up by my master. He said that adopting a girl is prone to gossip and is too lazy to deal with, so I can pretend to be a man. Follow him to learn the craft of hunting. Master gave me another character’Chuan’, which is more like a man’s name.”

“Zixuan” is a kind of daylily, also known as “Forget about Worry.” It seems that Zheng Chuan’s parents were sentimental when they named her. They hoped that their daughter would grow up carefree. Unexpectedly, Zheng Chuan made a mistake and lived as a woman disguised as a man for so many years. Xu Zifan asked, “Do you remember your relatives? Are they still there?”

Zheng Chuan shook his head and said, “It’s gone. That year, there was a drought in my hometown. My father and mother took me northward, but when I encountered a stray bandit and killed my father and mother, I rolled down the hillside and fainted, but the master picked it up and kept one. Fate.” She thought for a moment, and said, “Master asked me to pretend to be a man, and maybe there was a reason why I was afraid of getting a gangster. After all, he saved someone from the gangster. Later, I got used to it. “

The two sat opposite each other and talked a lot about the past in a quiet night. The awkwardness and ambiguity disappeared and replaced by a kind of peace, a kind of trust after experiencing life and death. Xu Zifan found that Zheng Chuan didn’t really like to talk. She just didn’t have the opportunity to say that she was putting up a lot of walls for herself by disguising herself as a man. She didn’t go out or let others walk in. She doesn’t interact with others, and naturally appears taciturn.

Surprisingly, a life and death battle let him know her secret and walked into her high wall. After that, the two had dinner together again, and the distance seemed to be closer. It was very late after dinner, Xu Zifan did not stay any more, and told Zheng Chuan to go home quickly after a good rest.

He has been thinking about how to solve the problem of reputation after Zheng Chuan resumed women’s clothing. This is ancient, not modern, and people’s ideas are old and conservative. If people know that Zheng Chuan is a woman who has been following her master into the mountains to hunt, and even show up to sell prey, and enter the mountains with him as a man, Zheng Chuan’s reputation must be ruined.

It can be seen that Zheng Chuan secretly made a skirt for himself. It seems that he really wants to restore his daughter’s body. This matter must be handled carefully, otherwise even if Zheng Chuan himself does not care about the reputation, it will be difficult for a girl with a ruined reputation in ancient times. Just one sentence can bring people to the age of Tangtang!

Xu Zifan took Zheng Chuan’s matter to his heart because he had traveled to this world for so long. Zheng Chuan was the person he admired and liked the most. Now that he knew her problem again, he naturally thought a little more. Minute. He lay in bed thinking about it for a long time, and finally thought of a fairly suitable way before relaxing and sleeping.

On this day, he was exhausted physically and mentally. As soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep deeply. If Shaohua called him in the morning, he could sleep until noon. Every morning the couple in the second room would take a car to the town to sell snacks. Xu Zifan also followed them this time. He also had to get medicine for Zheng Chuan, but this time he didn’t bring Xiaolian. It just happened that he didn’t sleep enough, he leaned in the corner and closed his eyes to rest in the car, perfectly avoiding the false feelings of the second room, but it was rare to be quiet.

This time he brought wild ginseng, got off the car and went straight to Ji Shitang to find Doctor Tong. The apprentice knew him and took him to the backyard as soon as they met. He also said with a smile, “Big Brother Xu, are you selling medicinal materials again today? What medicinal materials did you dig this time?”

Xu Zifan smiled and said, “This time it’s a good thing, otherwise I won’t be in such a hurry. By the way, my friend is hurt a bit, and I have to grab some medicines later. Here is the prescription, trouble brother. Up.”

The apprentice took the prescription and looked at it twice, then shook his head and said, “Brother Xu, my name is Fang Mingda, you can call me’Mingda’.” He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “Is my name strange? I heard that When I was a child, I was frail and sick. The doctor shook his head and said that I could not save it many times. I survived it by myself. Later, I fainted at the gate of Jishitang. Master asked me to live here and have a look. Then I found that I was in the medical clinic where the medicine smells strong. I won’t get sick, and my body is getting better and better. My parents said that I was dead, so they changed my name. Master also said that I have a relationship with this place and accept me as a disciple. I especially like medicinal materials, but unfortunately I don’t have much luck. I haven’t studied well for so many years.”

He stopped and looked at Xu Zifan seriously: “Brother Xu, for the first time in so many years, I have seen Master like a person so much. He praises you for your talent and you will surely do a lot in the future. I can see that he really likes you. Why don’t you worship my master as a teacher. He is really a good master and will definitely teach you with all his heart.”

“Mingda!” Doctor Tong heard the voice coming out of the room and shook his head. “Mingda, do whatever you want, don’t force it. Xu Zifan is so talented, I can’t teach him much anymore. We don’t have the fate of apprenticeship. Don’t mention it anymore.”

Xu Zifan leaned slightly and bowed to Dr. Tong, “Dr. Tong, I got a wild ginseng. Bring it to your palm and see if you can accept it.”

Doctor Tong’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, “Come on, why not! Come in!” He told Mingda, “Why don’t you go and pour tea?”

“Oh, I’m going now!” Fang Mingda was shocked when Xu Zifan got the wild ginseng, and ran away in a hurry.

Doctor Tong shook his head, “The kid is innocent and careless. In the future, you will get along in one place, so you can help me teach him.”

Although Dr. Tong said so, his eyes were pampered, and he could see that he liked this little apprentice very much. Xu Zifan walked into the room behind him, smiled and said, “It’s a rare good-natured person to understand and be pure and filial.”

Doctor Tong sighed, “It’s not easy for him. He has been here since he was a few years old. At first, his parents came to see him. Later, when he got a new son, he came less and the family relationship gradually weakened. Two years ago, they moved there. Elsewhere, I asked Mingda what he meant, and left a small house for him, saying that Mingda and I have a deep relationship with me and my apprentice and couldn’t bear to take him away. Besides, they didn’t know where to send Mingda to the hospital. Settling down, life may not be better than here. Although it is true, but in the end it is because the friendship is too weak that I am so willing. I am old and in poor health, and I don’t know if I can take care of him for a few years.”

Xu Zifan didn’t expect that such a lively and innocent boy would have such a story behind him, let alone that Doctor Tong would suddenly say this. He hesitated and said, “Doctor Tong wants me to teach Mingda how to behave in the world?”

Doctor Tong nodded, stroked his beard and said: “I think you are different from others. You are not as calm as a young man. You can do everything with your heart. It just so happens that you are going to be here again for a while. How good is it for me to teach Mingda? This child has a very good temperament, so you will be more than one younger brother.

Xu Zifan didn’t know why Doctor Tong had so much confidence in him, but Fang Mingda, the child was very likable, and what Doctor Tong asked for was not difficult, so he nodded and agreed.

Doctor Tong opened his brows and smiled. Then he pointed to the small bamboo basket Xu Zifan had brought, and asked, “You dug up wild ginseng? How many years old?”

Xu Zifan took out the small cloth bag, unfolded the cloth bag, revealing the wild ginseng with all tails inside, and said: “About 30 years or so, how much silver is worth, Doctor Tong?”

Doctor Tong was exclaiming that Xu Zifan was able to dig up medicinal materials so well, when he heard a tacky remark, he gave him a dumbfounded look, “Are you really short of money? Why? There are half a year before the scientific examination, so don’t you have to be so anxious to save money?”

Xu Zifan shrugged and said helplessly: “I came to town to work, and I can’t worry about my parents and sisters, so I want to use this ginseng for some money and buy a small house to settle down. Otherwise, where would I be willing to sell ginseng? This is a good thing. .”

Fang Mingda just brought the tea over. He heard what he said and saw wild ginseng. He was surprised and said, “Such a good ginseng is worth seven or eighty taels of silver? Brother Xu, you sell wild ginseng just to live in the town? My I live alone in the house. You can move to my house directly. Anyway, it’s vacant. It’s weird to live alone. By the way, my house is very close to the hospital just across the street.”

Dr. Tong also persuaded, “Mingda’s place is very good. If you feel uncomfortable, you can give him a little rent. To be honest, if you are anxious to buy a house, you can’t buy anything good. There will be fewer people selling houses and less comfortable living. Now, it’s a matter of luck. You might as well live with Mingda first, then look at the house slowly, and then buy something that is suitable. Maybe you can have more money in your hand when you fall. As for this ginseng… He looked at it carefully and said, “Keep it intact. The appearance is so good. I can send it to Fucheng and sell it to the big family. In this way, I will give you a whole number, one hundred taels of silver. I also have a cost to send someone to Fucheng. And risk, the price is very high.”

Xu Zifan learned about the prices of various medicinal materials last time when he sold medicinal materials. I thought that selling 80 taels of silver would be about the same. I didn’t expect that Dr. Tong mentioned 100 taels directly, which shows that he really did not mean to lower the price. He naturally nodded and agreed, “Thank you, Doctor Tong, this hundred taels of silver can solve many of my problems, and I will be able to relax in the future and concentrate on studying medicine and preparing for scientific examinations.”

Doctor Tong smiled and nodded, got up and picked up the wild ginseng, moving cautiously, “I’ll go and collect the ginseng first. If you have anything to do, Mingda will help you, and Mingda will give you the silver.”

“Okay.” Xu Zifan got up and watched him leave, and the other side smiled, “Then we are going to grab medicine now? I also got tiger bones and tiger whip. I plan to make medicinal wine. I need a lot of things.”

Fang Mingda was full of admiration, “Big Brother Xu, you are so amazing, no wonder Master likes you so much. You come to live at my house, and Master often says, “A man who is close to the vermilion and the ink is black”. If I always be with you, maybe If you can get better, Master doesn’t have to worry so much.”

Fang Mingda finished talking and asked, “Did Master say that I was stupid? I really like medicinal materials and smell the fragrance of medicinal materials. I also feel that I have a special relationship with medicinal materials, but I can’t learn medicine. They don’t even know how to see a doctor, they are stupid.”

Xu Zifan shook his head, “Everyone has their own good points. Learning how to dispense medicine can help others. You don’t have to be a doctor. And the most important thing for a person is character. I think you are very good.

“Thank you, Brother Xu, it would be nice if you came to work early.”
