Chapter Nine: First Steps in a New Life
The third old man was very sad because of this incident, and he has been living alone since then. But he didn't feel anything bad at first, but in the past two years, he has felt a little lonely. When he saw the child, he couldn't help but like it and wanted to
Teasing and teasing, but unfortunately, after arriving, those boys came a few times at first, but after more than ten days, none of them were seen.
The third old man has been wandering in the world for most of his life. How can he not know the warmth and warmth of human beings? If Ning Shilan hadn't discovered him and his sister-in-law had decided to let him come back to recognize his ancestors, he really wouldn't have wanted to die of old age in this big house. Now it's time.
I was thinking about how to cope with these few months first, and then go out to continue practicing medicine, but unexpectedly a girl came to my door.
"Replying to the third old man, this is the sixth girl from the third room." Grandma Liao was standing next to her, but Ning Xianbi gave her a blank look. She whispered: "I will tell the third grandpa myself.
No need for grandma to help me."
Grandma Liao couldn't laugh or cry, but Third Grandpa Ning Derong burst out laughing. This was the name he changed after recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan. He saw Ning Xianbi looking at the medicinal materials and curiously asked: "Third Grandpa, what are these?
?Dad said that you practice medicine outside, so these things are all medicinal materials?"
"Oh, what a smart little girl." Ning Derong's eyes lit up, he stroked his beard and laughed: "Yes, these are the medicinal materials collected by the third grandfather in the garden and some abandoned places, how about it? Hmm...
oh……"
"Grandpa Third, just call me Shaoyao."
Ning Xianbi said obediently, then she saw Ning Derong patting his thigh and laughing: "So smart, Peony is really smart. Well, the name of Peony is good. It is beautiful and can be used as medicine. It can be said that it is all over the body."
Bao, Third Grandpa saw it, and there are a lot of peonies in your garden."
Ning Xianbi smiled and said, "Yes, when the peonies bloom next spring, can I help Third Grandpa pick them and dry them into medicinal materials?"
The child's words made Ning Derong burst out laughing, shaking his head and saying: "Although peony can be used as medicine, it is not the flower that is used as medicine, but its rhizome..."
While saying this, Ning Xianbi had already walked to the medicinal herbs that were drying on her short legs, and said softly: "Oh, since the roots can be used as medicine, I will dig out all the peony roots and give them to Third Grandpa to make medicinal materials.
.”
"Oh, I don't dare to do that. If I do that, Lao Zhong will have to chase him into Third Grandpa's yard."
Ning Derong hurriedly opened his hands and swayed, as if he was really afraid that Ning Xianbi would be impulsive and run to the garden to dig out all the peony roots. You know, there are many famous peony roots there. If this little girl really wanted to give
If you dig out medicinal herbs yourself and cut off other people's roots, I'm afraid I'll be mad to death.
Lao Zhong is the oldest gardener in the Earl's Mansion. Because Ning Derong has nothing to do these days and wanders around the garden looking for medicinal materials, the two old men have become familiar with each other and sit together to drink tea and chat on weekdays.
, occasionally playing a few games of chess. At first, Lao Zhong was still a little in awe of these three old men. However, after a few games of chess, the two old men became anxious. If you don't let me, I won't let you. The distance between them is so great.
This was quietly broken.
At this time, Grandma Liao and Haitang were dumbfounded as they watched the sixth girl, who had neither spoken nor smiled much for a month, opening up an extremely bright smile in front of the third old man, holding up one stick after another in her hand.
He kept pestering the third old man to ask him what this was and what that was for, and what they were used for. The old man and the young man were so shocked that they broke into cold sweats and secretly said to me, my sister-in-law, you...you
What's going on? People who are familiar with you in the house seem to owe you money when you meet them. Now you are smiling so happily in front of such an old man. This... this makes the old slave (servant)
Where should I put my face? We have served you for four years in vain.
While they were howling in their hearts, Ning Xianbi also rolled her eyes hard in her heart, thinking that I finally understood Conan's original mood. It was really unbearable to act like a child. Do you think I didn't know that it was plantain?
How many years ago I often went to dig it in the wild; and that dandelion, isn't it Grandma Ding? Third Grandpa, do you want to tell me in such detail? You even said it has yellow flowers, but I didn't know it bloomed.
Yellow flowers? This guy is the most anxious one. When spring comes, before the peach and apricot blossoms bloom, there are dots of yellow flowers in the wild. There is no one braver than it. It dares to bloom as soon as it takes out two leaves.
Who else could it be?
When Ning Derong held up a Kudingca plant and began to explain, Ning Xianbi was so broken that even the corners of her mouth twitched. But for her new life and for the splendid future with abundant wealth, she still had to endure it.
Finally, the sun moved westward little by little, and soon moved to the mountainside. After all, Ning Derong was new to your land, and he only moved around in the garden and some abandoned corners in the backyard. He found very few medicinal materials. Even so,
, Ning Xianbi also felt that she had become a Ninja Turtle.
Aunt Ning and Haitang on the side saw that these medicinal materials were all explained, and they were relieved. They thought that this old man was really extraordinary. We can find so many medicinal materials in a small place like Earl's Mansion.
Come on, isn't he just trying to make up for it? We all feed wild vegetables like Po-po Ding to pigs and chickens, so why did they become medicinal materials when they came to him?
But the two of them were slaves, so naturally they would not make it difficult for the third old lady to get off the stage, so they had no choice but to step forward and said with a smile: "Girl, the sun has already reached the mountainside, we should go back, otherwise my wife will be worried, sir."
Will be back soon."
Ning Xianbi stood up, looked at the medicinal materials with some reluctance, raised her head and said to the third old man: "Third Grandpa, can I come over tomorrow? I like to hear you talk about these things."
"Okay, okay, peony can come at any time if you want." Ning Derong never expected that he would meet a child who was interested in these medical knowledge in this house. Although he was a girl, in his current situation
For me, it's great to have such a little confidant, why would I care if it's a boy or a girl.
Grandma Liao felt her old heart skip a beat, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of her master.
As soon as she left Xinglin Garden, she said to Ning Xianbi: "Miss Six, let's not come here again tomorrow. You are a girl, and girls should be more noble. Knitting women's clothing is what we should do.
When you are older, you can learn to write, read, play, play, play, calligraphy and painting. But it is useless for you to learn these medicinal materials. Do you still have to practice medicine and sell medicine in the streets? "
