Medicine Master Disciple’s Cultivation Notes

Chapter 73: The Rakshasa Turns Over to Be the Master

Playing snowball fights, if you were the only one throwing snowballs and the other person didn't dare fight back, there was absolutely no fun in it whatsoever.

The guards in the merchant caravan didn't dare fight back. Nonsense, the boss paid you wages to torment his daughter?

Having finally encountered Li Qiuchen, someone the same age, and having taken a direct hit from him, the moment the wind and snow stopped, the little girl had been clamoring to go out and find someone.

"She's asking me to hit her with snowballs. You guys won't mind, right?"

Coaxing a child to play wasn't really a problem, but out of caution, Li Qiuchen still asked an extra question.

"We mind."

The large Rakshasa ghost showed no expression, "If you dare hurt the young miss, you're dead."

"Then I won't play with her."

"Waaah—"

The little girl heard this and opened her mouth to start wailing.The large Rakshasa ghost couldn't hold it together anymore, "Go easy on her. We'll watch from the side."

"Wuwaah—"

"Okay, okay, okay, we'll all leave, move far away!"

The obtrusive people had finally left. The little girl fiercely sniffed, sucking back the snot that had frozen out, and looked at Li Qiuchen with high spirits, "Let's have a snowball fight! Just like yesterday!"

This was pure dry howling, without a single tear.

Li Qiuchen bent down to grab some snow and smeared it right across her little face.

In the north, the term "snowball fight" was actually an inverted phrase. The real meaning was fighting a battle in the snow.

Who cared if you were male or female, old or young? From the moment you and I stood in the snow, this was a battlefield with absolutely no moral bottom line.

The most I could guarantee was not stuffing stones and bricks into the snowballs.

The little girl was beaten until she squealed wildly, but her fighting spirit was quite tenacious. Several times she was knocked down but got back up. Even when Li Qiuchen planted her upside down into the snow, she refused to beg for mercy.

Accompanying her in wild play all morning, until she was so tired she lay in the snow unable to move, this war was finally declared over.

It wasn't that Blue Stone Platform had no other children, but in this kind of weather, parents didn't dare let their own children run around outside. The snow on the ground hadn't frozen solid yet. One careless step and if someone fell in, they couldn't be found.

The next meeting might have to wait until next spring.

Li Qiuchen played until he was covered in sweat. Returning home and lying on the kang, he silently sighed.

These Rakshasa ghosts were just resilient and durable. No matter how you played, they were fine.

Boss Tang was really someone. Having ventured in the north for so many years, making money until his hands went soft, he had probably also played with Rakshasa beauties until his waist went soft. The child was already this big. Looking at her appearance, you could tell her mother must be stunningly beautiful.

Really made you envious, jealous, and hateful... cough cough, truly admirable then he realized he had forgotten to ask the little girl's name. However, this wasn't a big problem. From this day on, the little Rakshasa ghost stuck to him.

Children's friendship was just this pure. As long as you played with me, that was enough.

What you played didn't matter. Even running around in the snow like idiots was fine.

The little Rakshasa ghost was named Wulala. According to what she said herself, in Rakshasa language it meant the stars in the sky.

The Rakshasa ghost clan dwelled deep underground year-round. Only a few months of the year could they return to the surface and see the sky and the sun, moon, and stars. In Rakshasa ghost clan mythology, every star in the sky was a brilliant gemstone.

Li Qiuchen didn't understand enough about Rakshasa ghost customs. At this time, he still didn't know what special symbolic meaning the name Wulala held within the Rakshasa ghost clan. However, he did see the tiny little horn on top of Wulala's head. Pink and tender, as cute as her little fangs.

Liu Da rushed back from the county before New Year's, bringing a letter from County Magistrate Lord Peng.

Who knows what was written in the letter, but Boss Tang expressed considerable satisfaction. On the spot, he announced that next year he would open a Tang Family Trading Company in the county seat, with Liu Da serving as shopkeeper.

A tremendous surprise fell on Liu Da's head, leaving him at a loss for a moment.

Big brother, you're not just drawing pie in the sky, you're coming for real?

This whole thing, I thought you were joking? I have no mental preparation at all.

Boss Tang smiled and said this was nothing. Since he was establishing a business locally, he naturally had to find locals to operate and maintain it. He didn't know anyone else anyway. You handled things steadily. If not you, then who?

Before Liu Da could react, Boss Tang brought up a second matter.

"I see your Third Brother is also a child who ventures out. My daughter happens to lack playmates by her side. Let him be a personal attendant to my daughter."

There was such a good thing?

A personal attendant, to put it bluntly, was a servant. Of course, it wasn't any respectable profession, but it also depended on the master's status.

Being a militia guard for Squire Zhao, even a dog wouldn't go but what about watching the gate at the county magistrate's household?

Liu Da was just about to nod when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "You may not know, my younger brother has a clever mind and an active brain... he was originally planning to go study in the county."

He had almost forgotten this brother was adopted and had his own ideas.

Boss Tang was even happier hearing this. Studying to improve oneself? This was a good thing!

"That girl of mine grew up in the Border Wilds and has already gone wild beyond measure. I also have the intention of letting her go study and cultivate the grace and manners of Chu women, lest she can't get married in the future. How about having your Third Brother be her study companion?"

How about it?

I don't know!

His own Third Brother was someone with his own opinions. Liu Da didn't dare make decisions for him and quickly returned home to tell Li Qiuchen about this.

Have me be her study companion? Do you know how wild that child has become? Stick some fur on her and she'd be a monkey!

Li Qiuchen was nearly amused to anger.

It wasn't that he had any image concerns and was unwilling to serve others.

As long as there were benefits, dignity and respectability, he didn't care about any of that.

The key was, looking at Wulala like that, was she the material for studying? All day long her mind only thought about playing. If anything slightly didn't go her way, she'd wail and cry for you to see. However, calming down and thinking about it differently, this wasn't necessarily a bad path either.

If he wanted to enter the county academy to study, besides the issues of identity and tuition, he also needed to take exams. Before the exams, he needed to study basic subjects. Going back and forth like this, who knows how much time would be delayed?

Wulala had no such worries in this regard.

Very obviously, even if she really was just a monkey, her father could use money to smash her in.

The status gap was right there.

Boss Tang was a big merchant returning from the north, someone even the county magistrate had to write back to and treat seriously.

Mixing in by following his daughter would actually be safer and more secure than actively testing in himself. However, all of this was currently just his own wishful thinking. In Boss Tang's eyes, he might not have that much value. At most, he was just finding a playmate for his daughter.

When played out, just toss away.

Therefore, Li Qiuchen decided to proactively seek out Boss Tang to demonstrate his own value.

Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger for too long, you'd easily be truly taken for a pig.
