Zhou Guo secretly gave him several thumbs up.

When digging herbs, he was faster and more serious than the other soldiers. When he learned about a new medicine, he would ask questions whenever he had the chance. The old doctor had nothing to do anyway, so he dug faster by talking while digging. He was happy to say everything and expanded his words.

Zhou Guo followed from the side and found that it took the boy two or three days to recognize one word, but he was very fast in recognizing medicinal herbs.

He also explained their uses in detail.

The old doctor can memorize it after just repeating it three or four times.

Although the qualifications are not the best, they are pretty good.

The old doctors all praised, "This boy is great. So, do you want to study medicine?"

Li Wang immediately looked up and nodded, "I want to."

The old doctor laughed, "Why are you still learning medicine? With your sister and uncle's momentum, your family's good days are still to come. Maybe they will become wealthy and powerful in the future. You will have endless wealth and glory, so why do you want to be a craftsman?"

Li Wang looked at him and said, "Old doctor, I still want to study medicine. I am stupid, I am not good at studying, and I am timid. Now there are many servants in the family, and I don't need to farm the land. I don't want to stay at home and eat free meals! I want to be like my sister, with something to do every day and busy all the time."

Instead of sitting around at home like an idler.

Seeing that what he said seemed to be true, the old doctor couldn't help but look at Zhou Guo, and said with his eyes: What's wrong with this child? Does your child want to study medicine?

Zhou Guo glanced at Li Wang and saw that he was looking at him expectantly. He smiled and asked the old doctor, "What do you think of my brother? Is it possible for him to learn medicine?"

The old doctor frowned. "It's OK. Anyone can do it as long as they are not too stupid, but..."

I looked at the brother and sister in silence. I don't know what they are doing. It seems that this child had ulterior motives in following them into the mountains today?

Zhou Guo said with a smile: "I also know that you are old and can't lead disciples anymore. We won't bother you. Look at the many disciples you have. Just pick the one who has learned well, has solid medical skills, and has received 80% of your true teachings. Ah, pick one from these disciples and let my brother become his disciple. You can just be his ancestor, okay?"

After listening to her, the old doctor looked at her, then looked at Li Wang, and found it incredible. "Most of my disciples are currently in the military camp, and I can't find the remaining ones who are not in the military camp. Are you sure you want to study medicine?"

Li Wang nodded heavily, with a firm look on his face. He didn't want to cry helplessly when his family members were about to die like his mother.

The old doctor looked at Zhou Guo again, "He is still young and may not understand, but you should know that if he wants to study medicine, he has to come with us this time. Most of the people who can be treated in the military camp are wounded soldiers who have retreated from the battlefield. Some have broken arms and legs, their stomachs are broken and their intestines are leaking out, their eyeballs are stuck out, and some have had half of their heads chopped off. They are bloody. Many doctors can't stand it. They can vomit up their overnight meals, and they are so scared that they have nightmares at night and are in a trance. Your brother is still so young, aren't you afraid that he will be scared to death when he sees these scenes?"

Compared to this, Zhou Guo was more interested in another question, "How can you still live after having half of your head cut off?"

The old doctor changed the subject and said complacently, "Of course not in general, but it also depends on where the cut is. If the cut is not important and does not hurt a vital part, and he is rescued in time and is lucky, he can still save his life."

Zhou Guo's eyes lit up. "How many people have you saved in all these years?"

The old doctor held up a finger?

"Ten?"

The old doctor shook his head.

"One hundred? Could it be a thousand?" Zhou Guo's voice became louder.

"One!" The old doctor put down his finger and said with his eyes wide open: "That's a head that was cut off!! Head! Saving one person is already a blessing from his eight generations of ancestors. You want me to save a thousand? That's not a doctor, that's Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I was thinking that you are so capable and good at medicine, it's no problem for you to save ten people. Can you save the one with exposed intestines?"

The old doctor said, "It's not that easy. Although the stomach is a little easier to treat than the head wound, it is still very difficult to treat. I have been a military doctor for so many years, and only two of them survived. These two were because they were young and only a little bit of their intestines were exposed. There was no bleeding, so they saved their lives. In short, there are all kinds of conditions for the wounded in the barracks. Your brother is too young and may not be able to survive."

Li Wang said, "Doctor, I can bear it. I was picked up by my sister on the way of escape. My whole family died on the way. I can bear anything."

Zhou Guo didn't know if he could bear it, so he came up with an idea, "Why not let him kill more pheasants, rabbits, etc."

The old doctor said unhappily, "How can this be the same? Can these things be compared with humans?"

Zhou Guo said: "It's true that I can't compete with others, can I still find a living person for him to practice?"

Seeing how persistent they were, the old doctor said, "Since you want to try, then give it a try. See if you can endure this kind of hardship first."

Li Wang was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I will definitely eat it."

Zhou Guo was also happy for him. If he could really stick to it, then the journey would be halfway accomplished.

She didn't bother them, but ran to the nearby mountain to catch rabbits, pheasants, and badgers, catching as many as she could, thinking that she could also kill the deer or the goat at home to gain some practice.

I have been raising goats for so long that the herd has grown to six.

She bought a ram for breeding purposes. The ewe seemed to be pregnant again, so she decided to kill the lamb. Although it was still a lamb, it was not small at all.

After running in the woods for over an hour, looking back and forth from time to time to see where the old doctor and his group were, he caught a row of nine live rabbits, but didn't catch many live pheasants, mainly because they are hard to catch when they are alive and can still jump around. He only caught one in total, and it ran into the bushes and couldn't get out, so he caught it.

A live badger was knocked unconscious by her two punches.

Tie them together and carry them at both ends. We are going to eat wild game again these days.

However, after Li Wang has gained some experience, he can also share some with Zhuangzi.

When the Zhou family heard that Li Wang was going to learn medicine from the old doctor's disciple, they were stunned for a long time.

Li said, "You are still so young, and you are leaving home to join the military camp now? Your uncle left home when he was already so old. Besides, what is a military camp? It is a place for fighting. You won't be able to eat or sleep well. You are still growing up, how can you go to such a place?"

Zhou Gu said: "Yes, I heard that sometimes you have to go to the front line, which is very dangerous. If you want to study medicine, there is a doctor in the town. Everyone in the surrounding area has to go to him for treatment. It's the same to learn from him, and you don't have to leave home. How great!"
