With the addition of Liu Muyan, Ye Wen's walking speed inevitably dropped a few notches. Originally, if he was in a hurry, he could still use his lightness kung fu to rush for a while. Hurry up and return to Shushan in a few days.
But now? It's not impossible to ask Ye Wen to take someone with him, but Liu Muyan's physique is so bad that Ye Wen can't stand it. Even if Ye Wen carries him and rushes, it won't take two miles. Passed out in Ye Wen's hands, or simply vomited.
"Your health is too bad!"
Less than half a day after leaving the county seat, Liu Muyan was sitting on the side of the road panting like a pug. Ye Wen wondered if he made a wrong choice when he decided to bring this scholar.
"Master, student... A student is a scholar, and he doesn't have much strength to stay at home and study all day long!" Although Liu Muyan didn't care much about his poor health, Ye Wen is now his teacher, teacher To reprimand him is at most to justify in this way, and to insist on it, that is absolutely not dared.
Hearing what he said, Ye Wen didn't talk nonsense, went directly to pick up Liu Muyan's wrist, and used his true energy to check it out for a while.
His infuriating energy transported in the past and wandered indefinitely, Liu Muyan felt a warm current from his wrist, and then from the wrist to the forearm to the shoulder, and finally wandered among the limbs, the feeling was so uncomfortable, even Even some of the illnesses I had accumulated over the years of studying seemed to be healed at this moment.
But when Ye Wen let go of his hand, the warm current in his body disappeared. He opened his eyes and looked at the master who was younger than himself. Liu Muyan was about to ask, but saw Ye Wen's expression was very serious. Looking him up and down.
"Master...is there something wrong with the students?"
Being watched by Ye Wen like this, no one would feel comfortable. Liu Muyan endured it for a while, then couldn't help it anymore, and hurriedly asked.
Ye Wen didn't hide anything, just asked: "Did you stay at home all day and never go out for many years?"
His question was originally very serious, and ordinary people, no matter how stupid they are, would know that Ye Wen's question might not be a good thing, but Liu Muyan seemed to have thought of something proud, and replied very proudly: "Student one day I can read countless books, but I don’t leave home for a month just to study, if I don’t need to go out to catch exams, it’s okay for students to stay out of their rooms all year round!”
Speaking of this, he even shook his head: "The book contains..."
"Okay!" With a shout, Liu Muyan's words were abruptly stopped, and Ye Wen said directly: "It's a good thing that you met me, if I tell you to be so nonsense again, I'm afraid you will die suddenly within two years." Death!"
"Sudden death?" Hearing this word suddenly, Liu Muyan's whole body trembled, but then he smiled and said, "Will Master be too careful? Although the student may feel a little sick, it's not a serious problem. Besides, he has learned a lot of knowledge." , and how many of them have no minor problems?"
Ye Wen sneered a few times: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not! I'm just telling you one fact! Your whole body's qi and blood are not smooth, your meridians are weak, and your inner palace is weak. If you continue, within two years you will suffer from all kinds of problems all over your body. Organ failure and death!"
Seeing what Ye Wen said was terrible, Liu Muyan hurriedly put away his smile, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore, and asked, "What should I do? Is there any medicine to treat it?"
"Just keep exercising frequently, and after a long time, the energy and blood in the whole body will be strong again, and it will be cured without medicine!"
"exercise?"
After Ye Wen said these words, he also said that this newly recruited student would be extremely excited. After all, he could avoid death so easily, and everyone should be happy. What's more, the exercise Ye Wen mentioned was not about doing coolies, but just going out for activities every day.
Unexpectedly, even so, Liu Muyan's expression was very ugly, as if he had heard the terrible news.
"Isn't it okay to take medicine? I know a few soups and medicines that are very nourishing. If you want to come to such a weak person, take the soup and medicine and you will be able to recover!"
Ye Wen almost died of anger when he heard this, and directly scolded: "You are useless now, and if you drink that great tonic, not only will it not save you, but it will kill you. If you want to die, I will not stop you." You, go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine now, and then find a coffin shop to drink it! That way you can save the trouble of carrying it back and forth, just throw it into the coffin, and the lid can be buried in the soil!"
It was only then that Liu Muyan realized that his health had fallen to such an extent, and he didn't know how to respond at the moment, but looked pitifully at the master who asserted that he was going to die.
"Don't look at me like that, it's awkward!"
Being yelled at by Ye Wen again, Liu Muyan had no choice but to sit by the side of the road without looking sideways, just staring at a stone across the road, for fear of annoying Ye Wen again.
Seeing him like this, Ye Wen could only sigh helplessly: "Follow me back to Shushan first, and then slowly recuperate your body. As long as you recuperate properly, your disease is not difficult to cure! It's just...you need to be more conscious !"
After chatting for a while just now, Ye Wen finally saw what kind of character this Liu Muyan had. To put it bluntly, it is too bookish, but to put it bluntly, it is a lazy pig with inattentive limbs!
Ordinary scholars, no matter how hard they work, they never spend all day reading in their rooms like him. Those people at least know how to go out and walk around. The kiln or something (Ye Wen is purely guessing on his own, the people who can visit that place are not ordinary poor scholars, but this one should not look like a poor person).
This is good, the otaku of the whole book world! He stays with the scrolls day and night, never goes out, and it is difficult to carry things on the road. But at this moment, Ye Wen believed that Liu Muyan was really a well-educated person, and studying hard like this, even if he didn't have a lot of knowledge.
Thinking of this, Ye Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, picked up a wooden stick from the side of the road, and handed it to Liu Muyan: "Show me this writing pose!"
Liu Muyan looked puzzled, but he still did as he said, and saw the light and fluttering little wooden branch trembling and shaking in his hand, Liu Muyan only mentioned it for a moment, but his forehead was sweating, and his hands trembled even more Ye Wen just took a look and understood.
When Liu Muyan was writing before, Ye Wen didn't pay attention to it, he just read the words he wrote and counted. Only now did he realize that the root was still in Liu Muyan's body.
"This is too superb! You can't even hold such a light stick, no wonder the handwriting is so shocking!"
It turned out that Liu Muyan couldn't write well all the time because his body was too weak, and it was to a certain extent. For example, if you let a person who is terminally ill and about to die write with a pen, it won't look good either.
In addition, Liu Muyan's laziness is also the enemy of writing. This writing requires calmness and slow writing. Liu Muyan can't write a few words, so he doesn't want to write anymore. He just wants to finish it earlier, and his hands move quickly. , that temper will be gone first. The font is not good and the strength is not enough. If you sway it casually, isn't it the same as an abstract painting?
"I already know why you can't write well, but it can be cured together with your body!"
"Really?" Liu Muyan was overjoyed when he heard that, and he casually threw the wooden stick aside.
Ye Wen's eyes were fixed, his expression became serious, and he grabbed the void with his hand. Before Liu Muyan understood what Ye Wen was doing, he saw a wooden branch suddenly fly by his ear and landed in Ye Wen's hand.
He was dumbfounded by this scene, his lips trembled a few times and finally asked: "Master...Master, could it be that your old man is a god?"
"What kind of god, it's just a trick!" After speaking, he handed the branch back to Liu Muyan's hand, and said: "From now on, you will use this wooden branch to make a writing shape, as long as I don't speak, you can't let go ,Understand?"
Hearing that it was a trick, Liu Muyan was no longer surprised, and stretched out his hand to take over the wooden branch. Although he wanted to complain in his heart, he had already worshiped someone as his teacher, so naturally he had to obey his orders, so he just replied: "Understood!"
Ye Wen nodded, and seeing Liu Muyan's posture, he said, "Go on!"
"keep going?"
"Of course, if we don't leave, how can we go back to Shushan?"
"But this..." Liu Muyan pointed to his right hand that had been posed.
"It's just your right hand, you don't need to walk with your hands!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Wen stopped talking nonsense, just walked straight ahead, and then looked back from time to time to see if the scholar followed.
In fact, with Ye Wen's foot strength, Liu Muyan couldn't keep up no matter what, but Ye Wen would adjust his pace according to Liu Muyan's situation, and only walked forward at a speed that allowed the other party to keep up.
Of course, even so, if Liu Muyan stopped and refused to leave, he would not be able to follow Ye Wen. But if this is the case, Ye Wen will regard this apprentice as confiscated. Even if he finds Shushan in the future, he will never admit it.
This can be regarded as Ye Wen's test for Liu Muyan. If he can pass, he will not only teach him calligraphy with all his heart, but also try to cure his hidden illness.
Liu Muyan didn't know what Ye Wen was thinking. He didn't complain when he walked a few steps at first, but after half an hour, he began to ask: "Master, how long will it take to walk like this? I'm afraid it will be two nights when it gets dark." There is nowhere!"
Seeing that Ye Wen didn't answer, Liu Muyan continued: "Should we not rest for a while, and wait until the students from the next city rent a carriage?"
This time Ye Wen turned his head and said with a smile, "If you rent a carriage, you can go there yourself!"
At the beginning, Liu Muyan said that Ye Wen agreed, and he was so happy, when he suddenly realized that Ye Wen's words can just go away, and it seems that it can also be understood that he can go away by himself!
Thinking of this, he stopped talking about renting a carriage, and Nuonuo followed behind slowly, only asking after a while: "Master, do you want to take a rest?"
At this moment, he just felt that his right hand was no longer his own, and it was so numb after lifting it all the way, he wished he could chop it off, but Ye Wen didn't speak, so he could only stand upright, even stretched out his left hand to help Don't dare.
After another hour, Liu Muyan didn't say a word anymore, but he was tired and limp, his legs were numb and his feet hurt, even if he opened his mouth, he felt helpless, and knowing that Ye Wen would never stop, he held back his words , the right to save energy.
Ye Wen looked at the sky, then looked back at Liu Muyan, who was still following closely behind, nodded secretly, and said, "It's getting late, it seems that we won't be able to reach the next city, we're just around here Find a place to rest for the night!"
Seeing Liu Muyan holding his right arm upright, Ye Wen said, "You can put your right hand down!"
As soon as the words fell, Liu Muyan let out a long breath, and then he fell to the side of the road as if he had lost his bones. The wooden branch he was holding was still there, but it was because his fingers were numb, and he couldn't move for a while. Otherwise, he would have thrown away this abominable thing long ago and never found its shadow again.
Ye Wen smiled without answering, and went into the woods to find some wild animals. It's a pity that this place is right next to the official road, and those wild animals are rare. Ye Wen turned around and found nothing, so he and Liu Muyan could only eat the dry food they brought.
"Master, would you like some drink?"
While eating, Liu Muyan unexpectedly took out another skin pouch from nowhere, and when the plug was pulled out, a burst of wine smelled out immediately. Although Ye Wen didn't like wine, he was also aroused by the smell.
Seeing that Liu Muyan raised his head and was about to pour it into his mouth, Ye Wen stopped immediately and said, "You are weak, so don't touch this drink in the future, and it won't be too late to drink it when your body recuperates! At least you won't want to drink at that time." took your life!"
The scholar didn't expect that even drinking would kill him, so he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do, but Ye Wen took the wine bag and said, "Leave this to me, so that you won't drink it secretly." !” After speaking, he stuffed the wine bag again, and then put it aside.
Although he was aroused by gluttons, he would not rob his disciples. The reason Liu Muyan was not allowed to drink was indeed because he was too weak. As for the wine bag? He said that it is safekeeping, and when he arrives in Shushan, he will pour the wine into a jar and seal it for preservation, and then return it to Liu Muyan when he recovers.
Looking up, Liu Muyan's expression was slightly suspicious, and Ye Wen was a little annoyed: "I said I will pay you back in the future, so I can still covet you for this little drink?"
Liu Muyan hurriedly shook his head: "If the master likes it, the student should offer it to me!"
have to! Feeling Liu Muyan really thought that Ye Wen said that because he was greedy for his fine wine, and he believed that he would never see that wine again. However, because of his words, Ye Wen strengthened his determination to go back and seal up the wine.
"I'll tell you to see what it means to do what you say!"
It caused a lot of idleness, so Ye Wen meditated in the woods all night, and at dawn the next day, he woke up Liu Muyan, who was sleeping soundly, and urged him to continue on the road.
This Liu Muyan usually stays at home all day long and doesn't do farming, even when he travels, he takes a car, how could he suffer such torture? Walking all the way yesterday already caused him pain all over his body. After sleeping in the field at night, he was extremely uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, it was better than continuing to walk. When Ye Wen called him, he immediately felt depressed.
"Oh! I wanted to find a gentleman who would teach me how to write, but instead I found a porter who can walk!" He could only think about this in his heart, saying that he didn't dare to say it.
Now that he has worshiped someone as his teacher, no matter how weird the master's temper is, he can only endure it. In this way, Liu Muyan followed Ye Wen to Shushan County day by day. I don't know how many days he walked, but he felt that the distance he walked was getting less and less day by day, but Liu Muyan's body gradually couldn't hold on.
But in the next few days, Liu Muyan was surprised to find that the walking that made him feel like being tortured a few days ago was no longer so difficult. Today, he just felt a little tired, and he had already walked to Linshan County. Not only did he enter the county seat before dusk, but he also didn't feel sore or numb as in the past few days. Only then did he understand that Ye Wen forced him to walk in order to exercise his body.
"Master, the students feel much better in the past few days!"
Ye Wen glanced at him without curiosity: "You're doing a lot better like this? You're still far behind!"
He wanted to pour some cold water on Liu Muyan, but he didn't want his words to attract the attention of an old man next to him. The old man was dressed in coarse cloth and had a medicine box by his feet. With relish, as if I haven't eaten for a few days.
He was wiping his mouth with the numbness that came out of nowhere, when he heard Ye Wen speak, he unconsciously glanced this way, and with just this one glance, he let out a slight light: "Huh?"
Then, without waiting for Ye Wen and Liu Muyan to ask, the old man actually sat down at their table, stretched out his thin hand to grab Liu Muyan's wrist, and said suddenly after a while: "That's right!"
Then he stroked his beard, and said to Liu Mu with an air of superiority: "Young Master, do you know that your life is not long?"
"Ok?"
Ye Wen and Liu Muyan were surprised at why the old man came over suddenly, but they were surprised when they heard the words. Ye Wen took a closer look and found that the old man was a itinerant doctor. have such behavior.
"I already know it!"
This time the old man was a little surprised, he gave a soft 'oh', cupped his fists and said, "It seems that the little old man is meddling in his own business!" After finishing speaking, he returned to his own table with a regretful expression , and then drank the remaining soup left in the bowl of plain noodles.
The little boy was going to clean up the bowl, but he didn't expect the old man to turn around again, and snatched the bowl back from him abruptly, feeling contemptuous in his heart, and his words were a little unpleasant: "You old man eat Are you done? Hurry up and give up your seat after eating!"
The old man was drinking happily, but he didn't expect to provoke the younger brother's bad words. It's just that he has seen these things a lot, so he smiled flatteringly: "Okay, okay! That's all right!"
Then he handed the bowl to the waiter, and then he picked up the medicine box and was about to leave.
Looking at the old man, Ye Wen lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally he greeted him suddenly: "This old gentleman, may I have a few words with you?"
The old man was about to leave, but when he heard Ye Wen calling him, he turned around and said with a smile, "What does this young man want to say to the little old man?" down.
"Let's not talk about the other things, please let the doctor take a closer look at this one first, is there any suitable treatment method?" Pointing at Liu Muyan, Ye Wen didn't say much, he just waited for the old doctor to show Liu Muyan. next to.
