Hu Langzhong came very early on the second day.
The two sisters-in-law of the Lu family had already packed up the stroller and came out of the house. Now that the mother-in-law no longer works shifts with them, walking back and forth for an hour every day is tiring. Besides, she now fully believes that the two daughters-in-law can do it.
"Ruyi, Hu Langzhong is here——"
Liu Cuier shouted to the inside, very loudly, somewhat deliberately and to show off.
In the past, Hu Langzhong came here because there was a patient in his family, but now he comes here to teach him his skills. Is there anyone else in the village who has this ability?
Especially the Luo family next door, didn't they call the Lu family to put up dummies and curse them?
This time we really have to put needles into the dummy, but who dares to say that it is the Lu family who is at fault?
Hu Langzhong was a little frightened. He was not ready to let other people in the village know that he had accepted a female disciple, so he hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
Su Ruyi came out from the inner room and said, "Uncle Hu, it's morning. Have you eaten?"
"Eat," he came specifically to rush everyone to finish their meal, but he couldn't let the Lu family think that he was just here to get some food.
Speaking of which, the pancake served last night was so delicious that even my son, who was serving it all day long, couldn't help but say it was delicious. My grandson even made trouble with his grandma, who made it for him to eat every day. Later, his mother It took two kisses and a slap on the butt to stop the fuss.
"Today I will teach you how to use a needle."
Hu Langzhong didn't say much nonsense. He walked directly to the table and took out a cotton bag and an acupuncture bag.
Su Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward to start the study mode.
Mrs. Zhang brought out a bowl of water and tried not to make a sound. This reminded her of the scene when her youngest son warmed up his books after returning from school many, many years ago.
Sitting at the table, shaking his head and babbling, other people in the family didn't understand what he was reciting, but seeing him working hard, everyone would invariably slow down the movements of their hands and lower their voices when speaking.
At that time, there was always a feeling that there was a scholar in the family, the Lu family was different from the past, and the future would be prosperous.
It's a pity that the head of the family passed away early, and the original beautiful fantasy was shattered overnight. The Lu family returned to the original state where they only worried about eating and marrying a wife.
She suddenly felt sad and sour in her heart, and turned around to leave. When she saw several children in the family gathered around the table and watched curiously, worried that it would affect Su Ruyi's study, which cost ten taels of silver, she glared and the children shrank. Neck, go away obediently.
Hu Langzhong unfolded the acupuncture bag and took out a silver needle. Su Ruyi also learned how to take the needle, and then learned how to hold the needle, how to insert the needle, where to apply force, and finally the storage and care of the silver needle, etc. .
Not much content.
In just a few words, all that needs to be said is said.
Hu Langzhong put the money back into the acupuncture bag, and pushed the acupuncture bag forward, "This is for you, keep it well, and remember the maintenance points I just mentioned. Medical practitioners can't even take care of their own food. Okay, then don’t eat this meal."
He put his arms behind his back. It was embarrassing to say that he was an old guy who was several dozen years old. It was his first time to be a master, but he didn't know how to do it. He didn't know what kind of posture he should put on. It's not the same as teaching your eldest grandson.
It's not his fault. He has never thought about taking on a disciple in his life, and he is still a woman.
"You need to practice acupuncture diligently three thousand times a day. I will see your results in three days. If you are still as unfamiliar as today, I-"
Me what? You can't just slap her if you don't finish your homework like you did with your eldest grandson, right?
Taking on a female apprentice is really troublesome.
"snort!"
Hu Langzhong turned around and left.
Su Ruyi: "Uncle Hu, are you leaving now? Are you going to the mountains to collect medicine?"
"Well, you practice well at home."
Su Ruyi: "Uncle Hu, I'll go with you. I'll contact you when you get back!"
Su Ruyi remembered that there was still a large open space available in the backyard of the hanging space, so she had to follow suit.
Hu Langzhong's eyes widened: "Nonsense! Now is the time for you to practice the basic skills assiduously. Just what I told you today, you won't be able to achieve results without practicing for several months! You are not young now, so you need to work harder than others. yes!"
Suddenly he looked like a strict teacher.
Su Ruyi said: "It doesn't matter. I'll take the time to practice when I get back. It's already autumn, and I'm afraid that the herbs will be gone after a while."
Although Hu Langzhong was fierce at this time, Su Ruyi was not afraid of him.
"Uncle Hu, don't worry, I will definitely not miss my homework. Even if I light up the lamp at night, I will finish practicing these three thousand times!"
"No, practicing at night will harm your eyes. If you recognize me as your master, you will do whatever I say!"
Su Ruyi: "...Oh."
"You have been to all the places I went to today, so you can go there again when you have time."
"Okay, Uncle Hu, then I will practice at home today."
When Hu Langzhong walked out of the Lu family courtyard, he already felt that he might not be a good master in the future. After accepting such a big female disciple, he could neither beat nor scold him...
Difficult, difficult——
Mrs. Zhang came out of the house and said in surprise: "Hu Langzhong is leaving now?"
Ten taels of silver, spread evenly every day, must teach for an hour or two, right?
Su Ruyi said: "Mom, I'm just getting started now. Master wants to teach me more, so I can practice the basic skills first. This is the most important thing."
Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Ruyi holding a needle and pricking the cotton bag carefully, and thought to herself, it seems that this basic skill can be learned by herself, it is not difficult at all.
But she didn't dare to talk about their cultural affairs.
"Then you practice at home. Tada said to prepare more wheat straw. I will go to Changba to get some for him."
"good."
Zhang turned back and shouted: "Dalang, why don't you go up the mountain yet!"
"Go, go now. Third Aunt, let's go!"
The children ran out and went out.
Su Ruyi looked at their figures and saw that they were completely different from when she first arrived.
very good.
At first, Su Ruyi didn't take the three thousand needles seriously. She counted them in her mind. Half an hour later, she realized that this was a big project. Her wrists and fingers hurt, and she was only halfway done.
As for the quality of the finish, she thought it was a very simple thing at first, but as she pricked more times, she discovered that even simple things are not that easy to study deeply. Just how to apply force has made her experience everything from The process from clarity to confusion, and then to seeming to find some feeling.
Really, after doing many things a few times, you will feel that you are very capable. When you understand and implement them in depth, you will realize that you were just a complacent layman before.
By the time Su Ruyi finished practicing the three thousand needles in a solid manner, the whole morning had passed. Her wrist was so painful that she didn't know whether she would be able to complete the three thousand exercises tomorrow.
It was a rare day off and I didn't want to think about anything else, so I just watched Ms. Zhang make shoes.
