Chapter 770: Green Plum Drunk (8)
Chapter 770: Green Plum Drunk (8)
Medical Sage Mountain is built on the mountainside, standing halfway up the mountain.
As soon as he climbed up and found a place to stay, Cheng Hui was called by his fellow brothers to go to the back mountain to chop firewood.
After cutting the wood, they would carry water to fill the water tank in the pharmacy, so that they could make and test the medicine. It was as if they were recruiting people to do hard labor.
Someone doesn't think there's a problem.
As soon as his fellow disciple called out to him, Cheng Hui happily followed him.
Only Jiang Que was left standing in the yard, facing the breeze blowing from the mountains and forests, watching the tiny him following behind his senior brothers from afar.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, unlike the other senior brothers who were dressed in poverty. He looked like a small figurine, following a group of senior brothers as they talked and laughed. He was very small, following at the back, not even as long as their legs.
Jiang Que stood there and watched for a while. Before he could look away, a sloppy old man with a gourd of wine hanging on his waist moved to Jiang Que's side. He raised his hand to block the light on his brow and squinted his eyes as he looked forward in the direction of Jiang Que's sight. He didn't see anything strange. Among the group of disciples, there was only the kid from the Cheng family.
The old man tutted, opened the wine jug and took a sip, then passed it to Jiang Que: "Want a sip?"
Maybe he was drunk, and then he remembered something, and slapped his head: "I forgot, you are still young, you can't drink. You have a stern face all day long, and you feel older than me."
Jiang Que: “…”
Are you polite?
Jiang Que ignored him and turned around to walk back.
The head and the little maids were still cleaning the house, and Jiang Que was sitting on the stone bench outside.
The old man's drunken eyes stared at Jiang Que's small figure, who looked like a pretty and delicate girl in a pink dress. The old man seemed to think of someone through him, and his old and experienced eyes were covered with a layer of mist for a moment, but he quickly blinked it away.
"You and your mother are so alike."
The original owner's mother was the Ghost Doctor's favorite disciple. She was picked up on the roadside and raised as her own daughter, from infancy to adulthood. In the end, she saved the injured and dying prince on the battlefield, who was the current emperor and the original owner's father.
The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other. He married her as his princess. Later, he sat on the throne, but in order to consolidate the imperial power, he married the prime minister's daughter as his queen and she as his concubine.
The original owner passed away in the second year after he was born. The original owner was adopted by the queen and made the crown prince.
The emperor's hair turned white overnight and he lost interest in state affairs. The previous dynasty was gradually devoured by the queen's family.
Now that the queen is pregnant, she will naturally not let someone else's child sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.
So when the original owner was being hunted, in addition to the Liu family, there was also the help of Medical Saint Mountain.
Knowing that the Liu family wanted to hide the prince in the leader's mansion, he made arrangements in advance.
Finally seeing the only relic left by his beloved disciple, who looked so much like her, the Ghost Doctor was inevitably moved by human emotions.
There was a drunk old man crying next to him.
The little Jiang Que sat on the stone bench like an old man, with a serious expression and a hint of disgust.
After the old man finished his grief, he took another sip of wine and sat over: "According to seniority, you should call me grandpa."
Jiang Que was silent. "Medical Saint Mountain is the territory of the imperial court. I am the crown prince, the future heir apparent. You should kneel down and kowtow to me."
Old man: "..."
I laughed angrily: "You little devil."
He took Jiang Que's hand and placed it on the stone table to feel his pulse. After a long pause, he frowned and said, "Your poison is not difficult to cure. You just need to fight poison with poison and find someone who is willing to pass on twenty years of skills to you to force the poison out. But you are too young and your body cannot withstand strong medicine. You can only take care of yourself for now and cure it later."
Jiang Que lowered his eyes and said "hmm", then pulled his hand back and carefully wiped it clean with a handkerchief.
As expected of her being raised in the palace with great wealth and luxury, the old man didn't say anything when he saw her.
This yard was where the original owner's mother lived before, and it still retains its original appearance. Now two children live there. After the old man left, he asked people to send a lot of good things to prevent his dead mother from dreaming about him at night and saying that he abused her children.
Otherwise, there's the kid from the Cheng family, who has thick skin and tough muscles.
It's just right for me to do odd jobs in the mountains.
