“If we do it ourselves, we won’t have any trouble.”

Old Wu took a sip of wine and a bite of meat. These were all words of experience.

Su Xiaolu felt that it made sense. She nodded. “Okay, thank you for your guidance. I’ll remember it.”

She felt that what Old Wu said made sense. If Old Wu hadn’t said that, she might have to suffer a setback in the future before she learned. Old Wu thought of these things and said them one after another.

Every time he said it, Su Xiaolu would remember it.

Seeing that Su Xiaolu was quiet, Old Wu picked up a drumstick for her and said, “Master knows that you’re tired today. I wanted to see your ability. I will help you make medicine in the future.”

The little girl was talented and smart but still a child. It wouldn’t be good if she was too tired and came to dislike learning. He would slack off less in the future.

Thinking that she didn’t have to be so tired, Su Xiaolu was very happy. She ate the drumstick and smiled sweetly at Old Wu. “Master is so good. Thank you, Master.”

After supper, Su Xiaolu went to clean up the silver needles before going to bed.

The next day, the pills prepared yesterday had also dried up. They could be put into bottles for Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian to carry with them. They had to take three pills a day.

The servants of the Sun residence sent over another batch of herbs. Su Xiaolu and Old Wu sorted them together. Then, Su Xiaolu drew out the spiritual spring water and soaked the herbs in it.

Perhaps afraid that Su Xiaolu would be tired, Old Wu even chased Su Xiaolu away for a nap at noon.

At night, Old Wu and Su Xiaolu made many more medicinal pills.

After dinner, they still performed acupuncture for the Sun family.

Seeing Su Xiaolu’s new acupuncture technique today, Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian did not ask anymore.

After removing the needles, Su Xiaolu said to Madam Lian, “Auntie, Master and I are going home tomorrow. We’ll come back the day after tomorrow.”

Madam Lian nodded gently and said, “Okay.”

Sun Baoqian said, “Xiaolu, I wish you a safe journey.”

Su Xiaolu also smiled at Sun Baoqian and said, “Yes, thank you, Sister Baoqian.”

Su Xiaolu packed up and returned to the courtyard. Old Wu waved his hand and called Su Xiaolu over for supper.

Tonight, they were eating roast lamb chops.

Su Xiaolu inhaled the fragrance and sat down beside him to eat. The charcoal fire had been roasting slowly. It would not burn or cool the lamb chops.

She stopped eating after eating a rib.

Old Wu glanced at her and said calmly, “Why aren’t you eating anymore?”

Su Xiaolu touched her stomach and said helplessly, “Master, you’ll get fat if you eat too much.”

Old Wu frowned and said seriously, “Get fat? You’re so tired every day, it’ll make up for eating more meat. Besides, you’re still growing.”

Women were indeed troublesome. Even a little girl like her worried about looks.

Looking at Su Xiaolu’s worried face, Old Wu coughed lightly and said, “Even if you grow up, you don’t have to be afraid of getting fat. Just stick a few needles into yourself and I guarantee that you won’t get fat.”

Su Xiaolu immediately smiled sweetly and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to Master.”

Su Xiaolu bit into the lamb chop again.

After eating, Su Xiaolu went to pack her silver needles before going to bed.

At night, she still felt homesick.

She got up the next morning.

After collecting the medicine that was dried last night and sending it over, Su Xiaolu changed back into her original clothes and went to the main room with Old Wu to inform Sun Bocheng.

“Here’s the payment, doctor. The school has already taken care of it. You can enroll at any time.”

Sun Bocheng respectfully took out the remuneration he had prepared. There were a total of 10,010 taels in notes.

The servants brought up the packed gifts as well. They were cloth and such, not very ostentatious, but suitable for family use.

Old Wu took the notes and handed them to Su Xiaolu. “Girl, take it.”

Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and kept them in her arms. This was the love of a good master.

As for the gifts, Old Wu didn’t want them. He said calmly, “I can’t be bothered to take them. I’m leaving.”

On the way back, he still had to carry his little disciple. How could he take those?

With that, Old Wu turned around and left with Su Xiaolu.

Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian sent him out of the mansion.

Old Wu walked with his hands behind his back, not looking back.

After Su Xiaolu left the residence, she turned around and waved goodbye to Madam Lian.

Madam Lian smiled gently and waved at Su Xiaolu.

Old Wu squatted down and said coldly, “Come up.”

Su Xiaolu climbed onto his back.

The members of the Sun family, who had witnessed this scene with their own eyes, looked shocked. It turned out that the divine doctor was not cold and arrogant to everyone.

Old Wu carried Su Xiaolu all the way back to Southern Mountain Village.

It had snowed on both days and was slippery in places.

Su Xiaolu was worried that Old Wu would fall, but after observing for a while, she was relieved. Her old master was walking steadily, so Su Xiaolu wanted to sleep.

But before she could fall asleep, her leg was pinched.

“Master—”

Su Xiaolu felt a little aggrieved.

Old Wu snorted and said, “How dare you sleep in this snowy weather? Are you trying to catch a cold?”

“Why are you sleeping? Recite the acupuncture points and the herb books for me. There are so many things to do. There’s no time for you to sleep.”

Old Wu was very strict. It was a cold day, and the wind blew from time to time. If the little girl fell asleep, she would catch a cold. Therefore, she couldn’t sleep.

Seeing that there was no hope for sleep, Su Xiaolu yawned and started reciting.

She had read so many medical books, recognized so many herbs, and so many acupuncture points.

Along the way, she was tested from time to time. Su Xiaolu was no longer sleepy.

They were almost home.

Old Wu put Su Xiaolu down and said with his hands behind his back, “There’s not much road left. Walk and run on your own. I’ll get your mother to give you some ginger soup to get rid of the cold.”

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, when the ginger soup is ready, I’ll bring a bowl to Master.”

Old Wu nodded faintly. “Hm.”

He looked ahead and strode forward. Su Xiaolu had to run to catch up with him. He coughed and said, “Also, when you get home, don’t tell your parents that I carried you back.”

Su Xiaolu understood and agreed with a smile. “Okay, I won’t say it.”

Her good master was actually quite cute.

When Su Xiaolu arrived at the door of her house, she shouted loudly, “Father, mother, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Sister, Brother Zhou Heng, I’m back.”

The house was very lively. Su Xiaolu heard the voices of Chen Hu’s family and couldn’t help but feel curious.

Inside, as soon as Su Chong heard Su Xiaolu’s voice, he ran to open the door.

When the door opened, Su Chong picked Su Xiaolu up and walked inside. He asked with concern, “Xiaolu, are you cold and hungry?”

Su Xiaolu hugged Su Chong’s neck and said coquettishly, “Big Brother, I’m not cold or hungry. I just miss you guys so much.”
