Chapter 545 Being Trained
She was hungry and a few steamed buns were no match for her. She had already eaten four steamed buns in a short while.
The old doctor stared at the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and was stunned. "This, this, this... did you pick this?"
Zhou Guo said, "What else? Or did you pick them up? You fainted! But, how did you fall down?"
She was really curious and felt that it would be too stupid if someone really forced others to pick Ganoderma lucidum!
The old doctor blushed and said with a grumble, "I was standing on the top of the cliff and looked down. I saw this big Ganoderma lucidum. I was just about to discuss with them how to go down and pick it up, but the gravel under my feet loosened and I fell down. Fortunately, they were quick to grab me. Otherwise, I would be dead now."
A man next to him, whose face had not yet recovered, complained, "You were just too excited. We told you to slow down and not go to the edge of the cliff, but you didn't listen. So forget it. Go ahead and watch it quietly and steadily. Why were you so excited? You waved your arms when you were excited. Now you've fallen. Fortunately, Miss Zhou came, otherwise we would all have fallen by now."
The old man's face turned even redder, and he said stubbornly, "I... I just want to pick that Ganoderma lucidum. It's a good medicine. It's so big and rare."
"No matter how precious your life is, how precious are the lives of so many of us? Don't you know how precious your life is? How many wounded soldiers on the battlefield could you save? You don't cherish yourself, but we do."
Several people nodded, they really cherished it.
If one day they retreat from the battlefield with injuries all over their bodies, they will have to rely on the old doctor to save their lives. Even if they are not the old doctor, they will be his disciples.
The old doctor was speechless and it seemed that everything he wanted to say was for his own good.
Zhou Guo found it extremely interesting and said nothing.
The old doctor usually had a bad temper when treating people in the military camp. He frowned all day long. If he was not satisfied or did something wrong, he would scold even the general. But now he was scolded by a few young men until he couldn't even raise his head.
They looked at each other, seemed to think they had said too much, and gradually fell silent.
Zhou Guo spoke at the right time, "Don't be angry with them, they are doing this for your own good. You didn't see that when I came here, their meridians were swollen and red, their whole bodies were shaking, and they felt like their hands and feet were about to be torn apart. But they refused to let go and tried their best to save you! As soon as I pulled you up, they fainted."
The old doctor was still full of apologies, otherwise, a person with such a bad temper on weekdays would not say a word out of guilt.
Zhou Guo then said to the young men, "The old doctor also knows he was wrong. Look, he has been talking to him for so long, but he has not said a word to refute. He will definitely not do this again in the future, right?"
The last three words were asked to the old doctor, who nodded.
Zhou Guo clapped his hands, "That's good, you're not angry anymore. I'm hungry after all this trouble. Let's go eat."
He put the medicinal herbs from several backpacks in one backpack, carried it himself, and asked a few young men to carry the empty backpacks.
She helped the old doctor up.
After all, he was old, and had been down there for so long that his hands and feet were weak, and he almost fell to his knees when he stood up.
Zhou Guo put strength into her hands and walked half-lifted. Fortunately, she had grown a little taller in the past two years, otherwise it would be useless even if she jumped.
After all, the soldiers are young, and after resting for so long, they can walk on their own, but they still have to use sticks.
Zhou Guo carried a backpack and a basket on his elbow, and walked in the dense forest holding the old doctor's arm with one hand. When they encountered high and steep downhill sections, they basically dragged him along. As they walked, he sighed, "Old doctor, you are already old. Next time, let your young apprentice do this kind of thing. Even if you have to go into the mountains, find a closer and lower mountain."
The old doctor had been scolded for so long that he couldn't hold it in any longer. When he heard Zhou Guo's words, he immediately retorted: "I am old but my legs are still strong. I climbed into the mountain by myself. Do you want to help me?"
After saying this, Zhou Guo was a little out of breath and quickened his pace.
The old doctor shut up.
When the group reached the edge of the pond, the old doctor could not utter a word. He collapsed to the ground, extremely tired.
Several soldiers were also extremely tired, mainly because Zhou Guo walked too fast.
The old man looked at them one by one and pretended not to see them. He asked Zhou Guo, "Why did you come at this time? The meat has been cooked for a while."
Zhou Guo said in fear: "Master, please don't mention it. I almost made a mistake. I took them into the mountains and almost made them unable to come back."
The old man looked at the embarrassed group of people and asked, "What? Did you run into a wild boar?"
Zhou Guo went to the pond to wash his hands, talking about what had happened while washing. When he came back, he saw that the grilled fish and meat were ready. He asked them to wash their hands and then eat.
Several soldiers carried the old doctor to the pond to wash his hands and then carried him back.
The old man said with some sympathy: "Brother, you still have to accept your age. It's really not worth it to risk your life for a few medicinal herbs."
The old doctor sighed, "How could I not know? I was just a little careless and accidentally fell down. I scared these guys and was exhausted. It was a good thing that you, my disciple, were here."
The old man looked at Zhou Guo again and decided to skip this matter. He said, "Then let's eat. I can't wait. You have already eaten. The rest are yours. Eat them by yourselves."
Zhou Guo was very happy. He took out steamed buns from his bag, stuffed one into the mouth of the old doctor, took one for himself, and kept the others that he had brought with him.
A bite of fish, a bite of steamed bun, and then a bite of roasted rabbit meat.
She ate with great relish. This place was like their home in the mountains. Of course, everything tasted delicious when they were home.
Even if there is no shadowless fish, grass carp is also delicious.
The old man watched them eat. Seeing that Zhou Guo was so hungry, he took a steamed bun, separated it, picked out the fish bones and the barbecued meat, and put them in the steamed bun. After Zhou Guo finished eating, he handed the bun in his hand to her.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Guo took the meat-filled bun and started eating it bite by bite. She was really hungry.
I don't know how many steamed buns she ate, but I stuffed three of them in the bag into the old doctor's mouth and let her finish them all.
After the meal, the old doctor looked around the valley. The grass was so lush that he couldn't sit still. He stood up tremblingly, supported himself on his knees and started to look around.
Several soldiers wiped their mouths and stood up, helping him to look for medicine around.
There are really a lot of medicinal herbs around.
Zhou Guo saw that they squatted down after walking a few steps, dug up something and put it into the backpack. After a while, they dug a lot.
