Chapter 40 Apprenticeship, hidden secrets

Lu Qing's apprenticeship ceremony was not complicated.

Dr. Chen is not a person who likes to make a show, and he just keeps everything simple.

Therefore, Lu Qing just followed the procedure and paid homage to the ancestor under the witness of everyone, then kowtowed, served tea, and said Master, please drink tea.

Old Doctor Chen sat on the chair and took the tea. He took a sip and the ceremony of becoming a disciple was completed.

Okay, get up.

After drinking tea, old doctor Chen said to Lu Qing.

Yes, Master.

Lu Qing stood up and stood aside with his hands down.

Old Doctor Chen also stood up, saluted the villagers in the yard and said:

Thank you all fellow villagers for coming to witness my apprenticeship ceremony. Today I have a beloved disciple. I am even happy. There are few people in the small courtyard and the house is small, so I can't prepare anything to eat for you. I can only prepare a few small gifts for everyone.

After saying that, he picked up a tray from the table behind him with rows of small cloth bags on it.

These are medicine packs I made in my spare time. They have some effects on calming the mind, promoting sleep, and driving away mosquitoes.

If you don't mind, take one or two back and hang them on the bedside. This will protect your home from mosquitoes for ten and a half months.

So powerful?! The villagers were pleasantly surprised as they looked at the medicine packs.

Now is the season when mosquitoes are most annoying. If this medicine pack is as good as the old doctor said, it would be really exciting.

For a time, the villagers who originally wanted to be polite couldn't refuse.

The old doctor smiled when he saw this and said to Lu Qing: Ah Qing, go and distribute these medicine packets to the villagers.

Yes, Master.

Lu Qing took the tray, walked to the villagers, and distributed the medicine kits one by one.

Grandpa Zhang, here it is.

The first thing Lu Qing gave to was Uncle Zhang.

Good boy, remember to learn your skills from old doctor Chen in the future.

Uncle Zhang took the medicine bag and said with a pleased expression.

I will, Grandpa Zhang. Lu Qing nodded seriously.

The other villagers got the medicine package and smelled it. They felt a refreshing fragrance, rich but not overpowering. They felt refreshed and knew that it was indeed a good thing, so they quickly put the medicine package away.

This is prepared by the old doctor himself. You may not be able to buy it elsewhere, so you have to keep it well.

Fellow folks, when you go back, remember to hang the medicine bag in your room. Otherwise, after half a month, the smell of the medicine will dissipate and the medicine bag will be useless.

Old Doctor Chen couldn't help but remind him when he saw some villagers hiding their medicine packets with great care.

Seeing what the old doctor said, some villagers gave up the idea of going back and hiding the medicine packets.

After witnessing the apprenticeship ceremony, Uncle Zhang and the others began to say goodbye one by one.

But before leaving, Uncle Zhang pulled Lu Qing aside and told him that when he was free, he should remember to pay homage to his grandfather and parents and tell them the good news.

After seeing Lu Qing's serious response, he went down the mountain with satisfaction.

After all the villagers had left, Lu Qing was still standing in front of the small courtyard, watching everyone's backs walking down the mountain.

Aqing, your grandfather formed a good relationship back then, and that's how we got such a group of good neighbors today.

Old Doctor Chen walked to Lu Qing's side, looked at the crowd at the foot of the mountain and praised.

Master, I have never known these things, and my grandfather and parents have never talked about these things, Lu Qing said.

This just shows that your grandfather was a man of high moral integrity who did not repay kindness. Unfortunately, I came here a little late and did not have the chance to meet a scholar with such character.

Old Doctor Chen said with some regret.

He had a feeling that if he could have come here earlier, maybe he could become close friends with Lu Qing's grandfather.

Master, do you know how my parents died? Lu Qing suddenly asked.

Because of what Mr. Zhang said earlier?

Yes, I always thought that my parents died in an accident, but from what Grandpa Zhang said earlier, it seemed that there was something else hidden. Lu Qing nodded.

In the memory of the original owner, he believed that his parents died unexpectedly, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.

Old Doctor Chen was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

I don't know about this either. When your parents died, I happened to be treating a nobleman in the city. When I came back, I heard that your parents unfortunately fell into the water and died, but I couldn't get the bodies. Once I see it, I don’t know if it is really the case.”

If you want to know the truth, I'm afraid you have to ask Mr. Zhang and the others.

Lu Qing remained silent.

In fact, the same is true for the information obtained in the memory of the original owner.

Unfortunately, my parents fell into the water and died. When the bodies were brought back, they were still swollen and horrifying, and the original owner was stunned.

Some of the things that happened after that happened while the original owner was in a state of confusion.

The land was sold, the body was collected, and condolences were held. It seemed that someone among them had come to cause trouble.

By the time the original owner came to his senses, his parents were already buried.

Looking back now, there are all kinds of doubts.

It's a pity that the original owner suffered a huge blow during that time, and many of his memories were confused, leaving Lu Qing unable to figure out too many clues.

However, I don't recommend that you ask Mr. Zhang and the others for the truth now.

Seeing Lu Qing's silence, Old Doctor Chen suddenly spoke.

Why is this, Master?

Since Mr. Zhang and the others kept this matter from you, they probably did it for the sake of you and Xiaoyan. They were afraid that after you knew the truth, you would do something wrong impulsively. Do you still think that Mr. Zhang and the others would harm you?

Lu Qing recalled the attitude of the people in the village towards him and Xiaoyan since he woke up, and immediately shook his head.

Grandpa Zhang and the others are naturally not like that.

The most important thing is that in the information detected by his superpower, it has never been shown that there is anyone in the village with such a gloomy mind.

In that case, you should believe Mr. Zhang. If they don't tell you the truth now, they obviously think the time has not come yet.

So what you should do most now is not to pursue the truth, but to study hard. When you are capable enough, I believe Mr. Zhang and the others will tell you the truth.

Lu Qing was silent again.

In fact, he wanted to know the truth, not to do anything impulsive.

After all, although he inherited the memory of the original owner, he had no deep feelings for his father and mother whom he had never met.

What he was worried about was whether the truth about the death of the original owner's parents would be harmful to him and Xiaoyan.

But as Master said, he is still too weak now.

Even if you know the truth, it won't help.

Then it's better to settle down and learn the skills from the master first.

I understand, Master.

After thinking about this clearly, Lu Qing said.

Seeing that Lu Qing seemed to have figured it out, Dr. Chen smiled.

As a disciple of his, he was very smart, and he didn't want him to indulge in so-called hatred at such a young age.

That would only distort his mind.
