The next day, at Youshi, Qian Xiaodong returned to the village with a big basket on his back as usual, greeted the villagers on the road one by one, and returned to his thatched hut.
"Grandpa! I'll come back..." Qian Xiaodong froze in the middle of his words, because he saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest sitting in front of the Kang and inserting silver needles into Grandpa's back.
Seeing the expression of enjoyment on his grandfather's face, Qian Xiaodong knew that this was a doctor who was giving acupuncture to his grandfather.
"Hello...doctor." Qian Xiaodong saluted Jiang Beiran cautiously, for fear of disturbing his treatment.
Inserting a silver needle into Zhishi acupoint three inches away from the spinous process of the lumbar spine, Jiang Beiran turned his head and nodded towards Qian Xiaodong.
Although there were countless questions in his mind, Qian Xiaodong held back. After quietly leaving the room, he found his grandma who was cooking and asked, "Grandma, where did that doctor come from?"
Putting down the spatula, grandma first glanced at the room, and then said to Qian Xiaodong: "The village I entered this afternoon first cured your Uncle Er Niu, and later cured your Aunt Lan, and they don't ask for money. , That's why I went to invite him and show it to your grandpa."
"That's really a nice guy."
Even though he said that, Qian Xiaodong became vigilant in his heart. He has been scrambling outside for so long, and he knows that there is no sesame seed falling from the sky. , either to lie to you or to use you.
But their family is poor... what is there to lie about...
'Did it come to me! ? '
Qian Xiaodong was a little nervous. In the past two years, in order to buy medicine for his grandfather, he had been to many small towns to be cheated and abducted. He was not surprised at all when someone came to his door.
Nervous, Qian Xiaodong hurried back to his grandfather's bedside, staring at the doctor who was administering the needle, thinking that if he really came after him, then he would do the work by himself, and absolutely not implicate grandpa and grandma.
After a stick of incense, Jiang Beiran pulled out the last silver needle from Old Man Qian's back and put the silver needle in his purse. Jiang Beiran looked at Old Man Qian and asked, "Old man, do you feel better?"
The old man Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a face full of comfort: "It's comfortable, it's much more comfortable, thank you doctor, the little old man's body has not been so smooth for more than ten years."
"You still have to pay attention to rest, your body needs to be well adjusted."
"Adjustment... What do you mean by a recuperation? Doctor."
"Just eat and drink well, don't work in the fields for a month or so."
"Ah?" The old man Qian exclaimed, "Doctor, the old man will discuss with you whether it will be possible, I will go out to cultivate the land during the day, and in the afternoon..."
"Grandpa, just rest well and leave the field affairs to me." Qian Xiaodong came in and promised, patting his chest.
"You little brat can't even wield a hoe, and you're still farming. Go quickly and get the doctor a bowl of water."
"it is good."
Nodding, Qian Xiaodong ran out to pour a glass of water, carefully brought it in and handed it to Jiang Beiran, "Doctor, please drink water."
"Thank you." After taking the bowl and drinking it down, Jiang Beiran wiped his mouth and said, "Then old man, you can rest, I have to go to the next house to see."
After listening to the old man Qian, he wanted to get up and see him off, but Jiang Beiran pushed him back, "You should take a good rest."
"Doctor, you are a good person! If you leave your name, we will know where to thank you in the future."
"No need, it's our duty to save lives and heal the wounded." Jiang Beiran stepped out of the thatched hut after finishing speaking.
"Doctor, doctor! Let's go after dinner!" Grandma chased out of the kitchen and shouted.
But Jiang Beiran just waved his hand and left slowly.
"Hey, this year is really... whether it's the emperor or the doctor, it's really a good year." Grandma said with emotion.
"That's right." The old man Qian, who was lying on the kang, nodded, "They are all good people, and we ordinary people finally have something to look forward to." After the grandfather finished speaking, he turned to look at his grandson, but found that there was no one there.
"Where's Xiaodong? Why is he gone?" Old Man Qian asked strangely.
Only then did grandma come to her senses, looked around and said, "This kid... why can't he stay at home like this."
…
"Doctor~doctor~"
In the village, Jiang Beiran, who was walking on the path in the field, suddenly heard shouts from behind, turned around and found that it was Qian Xiaodong who had chased him out.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Beiran looked at Qian Xiaodong and asked.
"Doctor, which town are you from?" Qian Xiaodong looked up at Jiang Beiran and asked.
"Is it important where the poor people come from?"
"It's not important, it's not important at all." Qian Xiaodong shook his head, "I mainly want to thank you for curing my grandpa. See you, I've never seen my grandpa look so ruddy after you made this move."
"It's nothing more than a little effort. Go back and take good care of your grandfather. His illness is the result of hard work. Take good care of him for a while, and he will be able to work in the fields soon."
Seeing that the doctor turned around and was about to leave after finishing speaking, Qian Xiaodong hurriedly walked in front of him and shouted, "Doctor! Do you still need an apprentice? I won't let you accept me for nothing. I can give you medicinal materials, a lot of medicinal materials!"
If Qian Xiaodong still suspected that the doctor came after him before, then when he saw his grandfather exhale the foul breath with a red face, he made a decision in his heart, even if the doctor in front of him is really a charlatan, I must also learn from him! Even if it is to learn to cheat.
Because the doctor in front of him is the most capable person he has ever seen since he was born, and it is also a great opportunity for him!
While Qian Xiaodong was anxiously waiting for an answer, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Agree to Qian Xiaodong. Completion Reward: Glazed Light Sacred Code (Earth-level Middle Grade)]
[Option 2: Keep Qian Xiaodong by his side to observe for a while. Completion reward: White Rainbow Tyrant Formation Map (Earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 3: Set a goal for Qian Xiaodong, and ask him to come back after completing it. Completion Reward: Scary Dragon Demon Miasma (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]
[Option 4: Directly reject Qian Xiaodong. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Good guy... Sure enough, the prefecture-level option was because of this kid. '
This kind of four-option treatment is only available to the protagonists.
The reason why Jiang Beiran planned to get in touch with Qian Xiaodong himself first was to confirm whether he caused the prefecture-level mission, and also to see what was special about this kid.
After confirming that Qian Xiaodong is also a young man with the fate of the protagonist, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but compare the three "protagonists" he had met in his heart.
In the end, it was discovered that even though they were both the protagonists, there was still a gap in grades. Ye Fan, who could trigger the sky-level option, was probably the real protagonist, and Li Fucheng and Qian Xiaodong, who could trigger the earth-level option, almost fell short.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't necessarily mean that Ye Fan's potential is stronger than the other two. It may also be that the troubles caused by contacting Ye Fan will be greater than the other two.
Without thinking deeply about this question, Jiang Bei decided to choose four decisively. Anyway, he was very sure that he would never be the protagonist's brother or master.
"Poverty never accepts apprentices." Waved his hand, Jiang Beiran turned and left.
"Doctor! Discuss again, discuss again." Qian Xiaodong chased Jiang Beiran all the way, "I can endure hardships and learn things quickly, please accept me."
In this way, Qian Xiaodong entangled Jiang Beiran all the way, and followed him until he left the village.
"Doctor, are you thirsty? I have honey water here, which is very sweet. Let me try it."
"Doctor, look! I caught a rabbit! Let me bake it for you! My roasted rabbit is very delicious!"
"Doctor, if you go further, you will reach Deling Town. Where are you going? I know the place very well. Let me show you the way."
…
Looking at Qian Xiaodong, who was extremely attentive along the way, Jiang Bei could feel that this kid was very ambitious, the kind who would jump at an opportunity.
'Tsk... But this is not like the protagonist. '
The so-called protagonist is to show that he has no desires, no desires, no stupidity, but opportunities keep bumping into him, as if God is his grandma, who always feels that he is not full, and keeps digging his mouth Stuffed with rice.
And someone like Qian Xiaodong... is more like a villain.
He has his own ambitions, knows what he wants, and clings to the opportunity when he sees an opportunity. In the end, he becomes a dominator, but in the end, he still cannot avoid the tragic ending of being pushed to the ground by the protagonist.
But no matter what, Jiang Beiran has already seen the potential of making a big career out of Qian Xiaodong, so it's worth investing in.
Just like Li Fucheng, he planted a book of formations and reaped a world meeting, I believe Qian Xiaodong will not be far behind.
When he came to Deling Town, Qian Xiaodong acted as a guide enthusiastically, he knew where there was good food, where there was good drink, where there was fun, and even where there were beautiful girls.
Jiang Beiran couldn't help feeling that these children who were not bound by the school were really precocious.
When passing by an inn, Qian Xiaodong jumped up the steps and introduced: "The roast duck at this Xilai Inn is the best in several nearby towns! And their rice wine is also delicious."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran asked curiously, "Have you eaten all of them?"
Qian Xiaodong scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this, "I also heard from hearsay, how can I afford the food from this restaurant."
"Really haven't eaten?" Jiang Beiran asked again.
"Uh..." Looking at Jiang Beiran's eyes looking directly at him, Qian Xiaodong said with a "hehe" smile: "Sneaked into the back kitchen and ate twice, it was really delicious."
Smiling and shaking his head, Jiang Beiran turned and walked towards Xilai Inn.
Seeing Jiang Beiran approaching, a waiter came out to greet him and shouted courteously: "Guest officer, please~ Are you a top student or a hotel?"
"Tip."
"Okay~ Please come inside."
Sitting on a table by the window, Jiang Beiran said directly: "I heard that your roast duck is good, let me have one, and a pot of rice bar."
"Okay, one roasted duck with stuffed flowers~ a pot of rice wine~" After reporting the name of the dish, the waiter continued: "Guest officer, don't worry, this roasted duck with stuffed flowers is our signature, I guarantee you will like it."
When Xiao Er left, Qian Xiaodong sat on the bench and shook his legs happily. This was the first time he entered the inn through the main entrance, and besides... he thought the doctor would bring him in for dinner, which was a good start. No matter how hard I try, I will be able to impress him with sincerity.
After a cup of tea, the roast duck and rice wine were served.
At the same time, Xiao Er was holding a jar.
Jiang Beiran thought there was wine in the jar, but when he sniffed it, he found it was not.
Putting the jar on the table, Xiao Er said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, this jar is a kind of sugar made by our small shop. Would you like to buy some and try it out?"
"Maltose?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"No, it's called Wutang. It's sweet and sour. It's very appetizing."
Jiang Beiran glanced at Qian Xiaodong and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
As soon as Xiaoer heard this, he immediately took the jar off the table and put it in front of Qian Xiaodong.
"The children around this candy have all tasted it, and they all say it's delicious. Do you want to try it, little guest officer?"
Qian Xiaodong glanced at the candy in the jar and asked, "How do you sell this candy?"
"When you first start selling, you need a cost price. You can grab a lot with only two dollars."
Qian Xiaodong rolled his eyes, took out two copper coins from his waist and handed them to Xiaoer.
"Little guest officer is so proud!" Xiao Er boasted, holding the jar closer to Qian Xiaodong and said: "Little guest officer, please catch it, all you catch are yours."
But Qian Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Please ask the second brother to grab a handful for me."
Xiao Er couldn't help being taken aback after hearing this, looked at Qian Xiaodong in surprise, and then said: "Okay, since the little guest officer doesn't dislike it, then I'll help you catch him."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Er grabbed a handful of wutang from the jar and put it on the table.
"Thank you." Qian Xiaodong smiled.
"Those two are slow to use, please greet if you have something to do." After speaking, the waiter in the shop withdrew.
Seeing Qian Xiaodong glance at himself from time to time, Jiang Beiran, who had already guessed that he was thinking carefully, asked, "Why do you want Xiaoer to help you grab candy?"
When Qian Xiaodong heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "My hands are small, if I were to grab them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch half of the table."
Jiang Beiran smiled and nodded after listening.
When Er Er graciously handed the sugar bowl to Qian Xiaodong, Jiang Beiran could see that this was a trick of the merchant. It sounded like a lot to grab, but if you let the children grab it, the amount would be halved. ,even more.
'The brain is indeed sufficient, but I don't know how about the talent of cultivation. Jiang Beiran said as he tore off a duck leg, put it in his mouth and bit it, the aroma was overflowing, and it was crispy and delicious.
"It's not bad." Jiang Beiran nodded in satisfaction.
After a while, a duck went into the stomachs of the two of them. After drinking and eating, the two of them walked out of the inn together. Just like this, when the night market was about to start, Qian Xiaodong felt that he was very close to the doctor, so he spoke again Said: "Doctor, please let me be your apprentice. I have been motivated to become a doctor since I was a child, and I will save people in the world, and you are the best doctor I have ever seen in this world."
After speaking, Qian Xiaodong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I've said it before, poor people don't accept disciples."
"Doctor, I..." Qian Xiaodong raised his head as he spoke, only to find that the doctor had disappeared.
'? ? ? '
Qian Xiaodong naturally performed well today, and he is full of sincerity. Judging from the doctor's attitude towards him, he also likes him quite a lot.
He thought that this apprenticeship was a sure thing, but he was rejected so thoroughly!
Those who refused are gone!
