december

Bai Han fumbled in his pocket and took out a key.

It was the spare key of the pharmacy, which was given to him by Sister Wenxiu.The pharmacy must be closed right now. Master is away today, and he won't be back until tomorrow morning at the earliest.There is a small wooden bed in the hut in the backyard of the pharmacy, which is usually used to stack herbs and weeds, Bai Han thought about going there for the night.

After all, it was late autumn, and the colder it got later, the certainty he had said to his mother a few hours ago, "It's not going to freeze to death" was almost frozen away.

Bai Han shrank his neck and walked back to the pharmacy through several alleys.This street is considered to be a relatively lively place in Yuancheng, but it is also very deserted at this time.The signboard with the four big characters "Maren Pharmacy" was hidden in the darkness, only half of the characters could be seen.

Bai Han stomped his feet that were so cold that he was about to lose consciousness, took the key to open the door, groped to find the consultation table, found a box of matches on the consultation table, struck a match, and lit the oil lamp on the table.

The little light danced slightly, giving him a little warmth.Bai Han held the lamp and entered the hut, walking very lightly, for fear of making any noise.Although it is impossible for the 1 masters to appear here at this moment, he is still very worried about being discovered.

In fact, he is not afraid of anyone, he is just worried that if someone accidentally offends others, it will affect his original life.Just like today, he annoyed his mother, and he was driven out to live in a pharmacy secretly.If his extremely narrow-minded master finds out about staying at the pharmacy, he will lose his job as a pharmacy clerk.

If he lost his job at the pharmacy... Bai Han fell down on the small wooden bed, not interested in thinking about it any further.

It would be nice to be able to leave here far away, so that you don't have to worry about any repercussions.Although the boss might scold him and beat him at another place of work, he doesn't have to worry about the blame from his mother.The influence of others plus the negative effects of his mother will make him the most breathless.

He longed to escape, and if he had a choice, he would want to leave home far away.

But where can I go from here?Bai Han rubbed his eyelids, feeling a little sleepy.There was no quilt on the small wooden bed, so he pulled some thatch to cover his body.

What kind of world is it outside Yuancheng?Bai Han thought of this question again, thinking about it, he became conscious and began to wander without bounds.

Why do other people look so powerful?

Just like sister Wenxiu, she is kind-hearted and proficient in medical skills.

Just like Ming Jing, although she looks impatient, she is calm and confident no matter where she appears.

Ouch, an illiterate person who never went to school even made up an idiom.

Bai Han put his arms on his eyes and smiled softly.

If only... I could follow Mingjing to see the world outside Yuancheng.Would Ming Jing be willing to bring her with her?

Mingjing...

Bai Han closed his eyes, flashed in his mind the image of Ming Jing looking up at the sky on the clock tower tonight.

The stars in the sky seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

Before dawn, the chickens of some house had already started to crow, coupled with the lack of a quilt and the cold, Bai Han opened his eyes in a daze, thinking that it was dawn, and jumped out of bed in fright.He raised his head and glanced at the window to find that it was still dark, so he was relieved and lay back on the bed, pulling some thicker thatch to cover his body.

But I couldn't sleep.

The dream that night was very chaotic, there was mother, Bai Zike, master, and Mingjing.

He no longer remembers about other people in the dream, only remembers that when he fell down and his hand was bloody, Ming Jing ran towards him and stretched out his hand to help him.

Ming Jing's hands are very beautiful, fair and even, with well-defined joints, like a fairy.

Really illiterate, describing Mingjing as a god.Bai Han smiled, thinking that Ming Jing might be annoyed if she knew about it.

However, we have only known each other for two days, yet when Bai Han thinks of Ming Jing, his heart always feels soft.very strange.

After the softening, sleepiness also came up.Bai Han was confused for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.

He got out of bed, fetched some water from the well in the backyard, washed briefly, and put everything back in place.Then just like the beginning of every day, sprinkle water, sweep the floor and mop the stairs.

When carrying the medicinal materials to the backyard and preparing to spread them out to wait for the sun, Ma Ren also came, glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Yo, it's quite early."

Bai Han didn't make a sound, and didn't really want to stay with him, so after finishing his work, he sat alone on the threshold of the backyard in a daze.

Ma Ren was very dissatisfied with his silent attitude. Sitting at the consultation table, he raised his voice and shouted towards the door of the backyard: "You are not here to be a young master, or you can just go home and give it to me." What kind of shit face are you putting on?"

Bai Han still didn't speak.

"Just talk about you!" Ma Ren shouted again, "Bai Han! Are you the fucking young master?"

I really don't understand why an adult who is almost half a century old has to find a fire for himself every morning for no reason. It's so bad for the liver, the liver and so on.

It's the liver.Bai Han wasn't too sure, and turned his back to him and sighed.

On the surface, he came to worship Ma Ren as a teacher to study medicine, and he has been working in the pharmacy for almost four years, but Ma Ren just didn't teach him.On the contrary, Sister Wenxiu kindly taught him some things, taught him to see, hear and ask.

"No." Bai Han stood up and walked in through the door.

"Why don't you just buy me the fucker and go early, you won't know if I don't tell you, right?" Ma Ren stared at him.

"What to eat?" Bai Han looked at Ma Ren.

eat shit.He said a word silently in his heart.

"Eat shit!" Ma Ren really yelled.

Bai Han nodded, and quickly ran out of the pharmacy, not daring to let Ma Ren see his contorted face.

After running away for a long time, Bai Han smiled at the ground, and the smile lasted for a long time.A few grandma passing by carrying vegetable baskets to the market stared at him several times.

After laughing, Bai Han felt suffocated all over his body.He walked back slowly, planning to buy some steamed buns or something.Then he remembered that he didn't have enough money.

Between asking Ma Ren to scold him when he went back and facing the boss with a few steamed buns, Bai Han chose the latter.

Boss Li of the Baozi Shop is a very kind uncle, so a few buns should be fine.Thinking about it, Bai Han twisted the hem of his clothes and walked over.

"Xiaobai is here." Boss Li opened the steaming steamer, "What do you want to eat today?"

"Eight buns." Bai Han said hesitantly, "Boss, I didn't bring any money today, can you give me a break?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all from the neighbors." Boss Li smiled and packed eight buns for him with oiled paper.

"Thank you, Boss Li." Bai Han bowed to him, "I will definitely return it to you tomorrow."

"It's all right." Boss Li waved his hand gently.

After eating two meals of white rice mixed with lettuce and wild greens cooked by Lao Yu, Ming Jing felt as if her stomach was full of uncooked lettuce and wild vegetables, and she kept hallucinating that her mouth smelled of grass when she spoke.

As a standard carnivore who has been carnivorous for many years and is carnivorous by nature, Ming Jing was very upset. He ran to the toilet and vomited after a while after eating, and he vomited behind Lao Yu's back. sad.

He still has this conscience.

"Young Master, try my mushroom soup, it's delicious." Lao Yu came over with a bowl of steaming food with a smile on his face. Ming Jing glanced at it, and there was some unknown black object at the bottom of the bowl, which should be mushrooms.

Ming Jing restrained her urge to rush into the latrine again, frowned, and looked at Lao Yu calmly: "I'm going down the mountain, didn't the old man tell me, I want to protect the personal safety of Master Chang Ling."

"Oh, that's it." Lao Yu nodded understandingly, "Then go quickly."

Just a few steps into the city, Ming Jing smelled a very special smell, sweet and sticky.He moved his fox nose, followed the smell all the way, and finally stopped in front of a small stall, staring at the old woman who was keeping the stall inside.

"What is this?" Ming Jing pointed at a pot of dark, hard things that looked like small stones.

"Chestnut," said the old woman.

"How much can you buy for thirty pennies?" Ming Jing asked.

"Two bags." said the old woman.

"Then give it to me..." Ming Jing stopped in the middle of speaking, and suddenly had a good idea.

"Buy it or not?" The old woman stared at him impatiently.

"I won't buy it now." Ming Jing turned around and left after finishing speaking.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ma Ren sat at the consultation table and still had no intention of leaving. He propped his head and stared at the door in a daze, having a great time.

Bai Han sighed indistinctly, and said that Ming Jing was invited to dinner tonight, and he didn't want to be late at all.Moreover, he had no money with him, so he had to go home to get the private money he had hidden.

What if Ming Jing came and waited for him impatiently, got angry and left?Bai Han felt sad just thinking about it, so seeing Ma Ren was even more distasteful.

After coming down to the pharmacy all day long, only an old lady with an angry mouth came, took the side medicine and left with a whimper, and there were no other patients.

Still lying there and guarding, guarding a fart.With a fierce face, wearing a helmet and armor, and holding a long knife, he can directly become a door god.

Bai Han cursed in his heart for a long time, but Ma Ren still didn't respond.

Master, I want to go back early. I have very important things to do today. You don’t have to pay me the wages. Of course, it would be nice if you could pay me a little.

Bai Han plucked up his courage, and just when he was about to say this to Ma Ren, suddenly a few men who looked very unruly in their attire came in.

Ma Ren was so frightened that he knocked his forehead on the edge of the table.

"Who is Bai Han?"

The leading man looked at them and asked.
