Chapter 3 Become a disciple

Shen Jingxuan opened her eyes again, and what she saw were grey curtains, a wooden bed, and tea sets simply placed on a wooden table.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the voices of two middle-aged men came closer and closer.

"That girl should be awake now?" As soon as the questioning voice sounded, the door was opened from the outside.

Shen Jingxuan did not stand up, but turned around and looked at the two of them quietly.

One was dressed in rags and looked sloppy, while the other had a neat and dignified appearance.

Shen Jingxuan found it hard to imagine how two people with such extreme personalities could get along with each other.

"Isn't he awake now?" Xu Kun said impatiently.

Shen Jingxuan had a cold expression and bright eyes, and was looking at them calmly at this moment.

At a glance, Xu Kun felt that Shen Jingxuan was not simple.

If it were another girl, seeing the two of them in a strange place, she would be so scared that her whole body would tremble even if she didn't cry.

This girl, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face, and her future achievements would definitely not be easy.

Xu Kun's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned to look at Xue Junhong. Seeing that he hadn't changed at all, he secretly felt relieved.

Never let him discover what you are thinking.

This old man's mind is full of studying and promoting medical skills.

But he could never find someone satisfactory to inherit his legacy.

If Xue Junhong discovered what he was thinking, he would definitely snatch it from him.

"Are you the ones who saved me?" Shen Jingxuan asked softly.

Xue Junhong and Xu Kun's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Yeah." Xue Junhong took Shen Jingxuan's pulse and explained to her what had just happened.

"We found you fainted on the side of the road when we passed by, so we brought you back. Do you feel better now?"

Shen Jingxuan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Xue Junhong continued, "There's nothing wrong with your pulse, but you've been poisoned by a chronic poison. Long-term use will make you thin and dark-faced. You'll be fine after drinking the medicine, and you can slowly recuperate later."

Xu Kun, who was standing aside, looked at Old Man Xue who was carefully taking Shen Jingxuan's pulse, and his heart was filled with alarm.

This bastard old man, when did he become so good-tempered? And can he still speak so patiently?

No, he must not succeed. Xu Kun looked at Old Man Xue and saw that he didn't continue talking, so he said to Shen Jingxuan: "Little girl, are you hungry? I'll have someone bring some food in."

Xu Kun turned around and walked out of the room.

Shen Jingxuan watched everything they did, feeling puzzled.

She didn't know these two people, but they not only treated her, but also prepared food for her.

As an orphan in her previous life, no one ever cared whether she was sick or whether she had eaten.

Although she and Guo Yanting were boyfriend and girlfriend, he never cared about her.

Except when we want money, we will eat and go shopping like other couples.

Now that I think about it, I was just dealing with myself.

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Shen Jingxuan's thoughts, "The food is here, the food is here."

Xu Kun walked in personally carrying the food.

Looking at what Xu Kun did, Xue Junhong's eyes widened unconsciously. There was something fishy. There was definitely something fishy going on with this old man Xu.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the two people and couldn't help laughing, "What do you want to do? Just tell me what you want to say!"

She sat up, took the porridge handed to her by Xu Kun, and drank it slowly with a spoon.

Shen Jingxuan was indeed very hungry. She had not eaten anything since she came here.

The bowl of porridge was soon finished.

Xu Kun watched Shen Jingxuan finish the porridge in the bowl, then took the bowl and refilled it.

"Little girl, you can call me Old Xu. My poison skills are quite powerful. Do you want to learn from me?" He stared at Shen Jingxuan closely, his eyes full of anticipation.

Before Shen Jingxuan could answer, the other old man became anxious.

"No, I saw her first and I rescued her. Get out quickly. This has nothing to do with you," he said as he pushed Mr. Xu out the door.

Just as he was about to close the door, Old Xu flashed back.

Xue Lao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "If anyone wants to recruit her, I will recruit her to learn medicine from me. You should stay away and don't hinder me from recruiting apprentices."

The two of them just started arguing among themselves.

Shen Jingxuan felt that they made their own decisions without asking her.

She just watched them quietly as they argued about everything from decades ago to the present.

Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

She had never met anyone like him.

They obviously dislike each other but are still inseparable.

Shen Jingxuan found it hard to imagine how two people with different hobbies and personalities could have gotten along for so many years.

She thought, if she had these two people around her, she wouldn't be bored anymore...

Until they stopped arguing.

Shen Jingxuan said: "Don't you need to ask me what I think?"

"Tell me what you want to say," two voices rang out at the same time.

They looked at each other, turned away and snorted at the same time.

This strange tacit understanding made Shen Jingxuan raise her eyebrows. "How about I learn them all?"

"I agree!!!" Two voices rang out at the same time.

This reminded Shen Jingxuan of the wedding scene in her previous life, when the host asked, "Are you willing to marry each other?" "I do..."

After regaining consciousness, she stared at the two old men in a daze.

I originally wanted to tease them, but it turned out to be like they had dug a hole for me a long time ago, just waiting for me to jump in.

Is it true that old ginger is still spicy?

"You did it on purpose!!!" Shen Jingxuan looked at the two old men making faces as if they were showing off how powerful they were.

"Come, come, girl, salute the master. From now on, we will be your masters." They put away their smiles, slowly sat down on the chairs, waiting for Shen Jingxuan to come forward and salute.

She did not shy away, she threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and knelt in front of the two old men, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

Then he kowtowed to them three times and offered each of them a cup of tea before standing up.

Elder Xue and Elder Xu happily drank up the tea. "Girl, this is the apprenticeship gift from the master."

Mr. Xue gave Shen Jingxuan the notes he had kept during his years of medical practice.

Old Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man, are you passing on your legacy to this girl?" As he said that, he also handed over a note.

"Aren't you the same?" As he said this, Mr. Xue glared at the second master.

But he was humming in his mouth, luckily I was quick-witted, otherwise you would have stolen the limelight.

"Thank you, Master and Second Master," Shen Jingxuan bowed to them, took the letter and held it in her arms.

She will have family in the future and a master, so she won’t always be alone like in her previous life.

Thinking of my villa in the suburbs, it is my favorite place.

She spent a lot of money to buy the land and hired someone to design and build a house on it.

Whenever he is not on a mission, he always grows various fruits, vegetables and grains in the villa.

Maybe I am the kind of person that others say I am used to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and I always want to leave some leisure and tranquility for myself...

Relatives? Shen Jingxuan suddenly ran out the door...
