The Resplendent Farming Apothecary
chapter-147-30041322

See the wound?

The wound that has just been bandaged, does he mean to open it again?

What the heck? Does he want to play with the life of the wounded?

Gu Ye, who was exhausted, was in a foul temper, and she refused the request of the Medical Sage, “His wound has just been sutured, so it is not suitable to expose it to the air. If you want to see it, tomorrow isn’t too late when you change his medicine!”

Except for his junior brother, no one dared to speak to the Medical Sage so rudely. He turned his attention to the little girl by the bed — tiny face, big eyes, has nothing outstanding. His junior brother had eyes higher than the top. How could he accept such a young girl as an apprentice?

”Your apprentice?” Medical Sage glanced back at Sage Apothecary.

Sage Apothecary nodded proudly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this skinny little apprentice. What was so good about this little girl?

”Little girl, I’m your master’s Senior Brother!” Medical Sage looked like he was waiting for the little girl to greet him.

”Greetings Uncle-Master!” Gu Ye bowed, then stretched out her small hand, staring at Medical Sage with a pair of big eyes.

”Um…” Medical Sage was a little puzzled.

Sage Apothecary laughed uproariously. “She’s waiting for you, the uncle, to give her greeting gifts! Back then, when you accepted your apprentice, I gave him a medical handbook. Otherwise, do you think Xiao Baili would have achieved what he has now? In front of my precious disciple, you as my senior brother can’t be stingy.”

Medical Sage was so angry that his beard curled up. Sounding so justified when asking for a gift; she was indeed worthy of being a disciple of his junior brother, the shameless guy. From his medical kit, he took a set of silver needles and a copy of the “Nine Spiritual Needles Scriptures” and gave them to Gu Ye.

When Sage Apothecary saw this, his eyes glowed with joy. He said to Gu Ye, “Good disciple, thank your Uncle. He has taken out all his valuables at the bottom of his chest. Hurry up and take them, lest he regret it!”

”You think I’m you, someone who chases after the things you’ve given?” Medical Sage glared at Sage Apothecary and snorted coldly.

Sage Apothecary was just about to retort when he heard the patient sleeping on the bed. He let out a sigh, and his curled eyelashes moved, as if he was about to wake up.

”Elder Brother Sage Apothecary, take a look. Is my grandson about to wake up?” Grandpa Chu was excited and hurriedly turned around, interrupting the ongoing bickering between the two brothers.

Sage Apothecary glanced at his disciple covertly, and when he saw her gesture, he nodded and said, “The effect of Mafeisan[1] has passed, isn’t it normal for him to wake up? However, he is still very weak. Old General, go out after saying a few words. He needs to rest.”

”Mafeisan? Junior Brother, don’t tell me you truly obtained Hua Tuo’s genuine handed-down techniques, did you?” Medical Sage was excited. If nothing else, just this Mafeisan could solve the pain of many patients once it was produced!

Sage Apothecary thought of the strange potions of his precious disciple, and then glanced at the medicine bottle hanging on the Major General’s body. He coughed unnaturally and replied, “What Mafeisan? It’s actually a new kind of fast pain reliever that I tinkered with. I think this drug has the same effects as Hua Tuo’s legendary Mafeisan with the process as the only difference. Hence the name ‘Mafeisan’.”

Medical Sage’s excitement eased. He looked closely at his junior brother’s somewhat guilty face and said with a half-smile, “Junior Brother, do you know? From childhood to adulthood, whenever you lied, you incessantly made small movements, and it still persists to this day. That just now, you coughed three times, and blinked your eyes twice as fast as usual. Your thumb and index finger on your right hand are constantly rubbing…”

When Sage Apothecary heard this, he was angered. He said, “You think everyone is like you, an old fox who never prepares a rough draft when lying? Yes! I just didn’t tell the truth. What can you do to me?”

”No matter where your Mafeisan came from, it’s enough that it has an anesthesia effect! Junior brother, you are getting old, so don’t be so angry. It’s time you curb your temper.” Medical Sage knew that if he prodded further, his junior brother was indeed capable of suddenly turning hostile, so he might as well stop while it was not yet too late.

Gu Ye, whose head was hurting from the noise, was speechless. Her master has the character of an old urchin. Forget it, as long as he was reliable. Unexpectedly, her immortal-like Uncle-Master was equally out of tune. As soon as the two met, they kept arguing like children bickering. Perhaps, this was the fun between them brothers, right?

”Hua’er, are you awake? If you feel any discomfort, tell Grandpa. I’ve invited the Sage Apothecary and Medical Sage, and they will definitely be able to cure you.” Old General Chu was overjoyed when he saw his grandson slowly opening his eyes. Thus, he held his grandson’s hand with great concern.

”Grandpa…” Chu Muhua’s voice was weak, “This grandson is unfilial. I’ve made you worry…cough-cough…”

Before Chu Muhua could finish a sentence, he choked and coughed, which affected the wound on his chest. Dark black blood poured out of his mouth, spraying on the quilt on his chest. Chu Muhua fainted again amidst Old General Chu’s exclamations.

”Sage Apothecary, Medical Sage, quick, please take a look at what’s wrong with Hua-Hua’er? Has his injury worsened?” Old General Chu was so petrified that his hands shook, and his face turned ashen-white.

Medical Sage walked over first and gave the Major General a detailed pulse diagnosis. Old General Chu stood aside worriedly, fearing that he would find it hard to accept the result of the doctor’s diagnosis.

Fortunately, Major General quickly withdrew his hand and calmed him down: “It’s not a big deal. The Major General just coughed up the blood in his body. His body is very weak, so it is better to let him rest. Don’t ask him to talk for the time being.”

Old General Chu blamed himself. His eldest grandson grew up by his side and has always been sensible and filial. He was so badly injured, yet for the only time he woke up in four days, the first thing he did was to comfort him for fear of worrying him. If his grandson really suffered an accident because of his mistake, he would never forgive himself even on his deathbed.
