Chapter 228 Zhang Daya
Chapter 228 Zhang Daya
Song Shixu followed them into the tent and watched them in silence, wanting to see what choices these people would make.
"Everyone, have you thought it through?"
Seeing that everyone seemed ready to fight against the evil forces, Yu Tingwan looked at them with interest.
What are you going to do? Isn't it just making a choice?
She didn't force them, so what were they thinking about?
It was still the bearded man who spoke.
"Princess, we have thought it through."
"you?"
Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow. They united so quickly?
"Yes," the bearded man suddenly looked a little ashamed.
"We still want to go to the battlefield and make achievements!"
"Yes, sure." Yu Tingwan nodded and looked at them with encouragement.
"You are great for having ambitions and goals."
After saying that, Yu Tingwan waved his hand and said, "You can go back now."
Everyone was even more afraid to move and looked at each other, not knowing whether they should move or not.
The princess is letting them go now?
Yu Tingwan was just about to concentrate on his work, but saw that they were all still standing there motionless.
"Why don't you leave? Is there anything else?"
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads, saluted Yu Tingwan one by one, and quickly left the military tent.
Yu Tingwan was helpless. Was he afraid of her?
"princess……"
The sudden sound startled Yu Tingwan and Song Shixu, and they both looked towards the corner.
"who are you?"
Song Shixu frowned. How come he didn’t know that there was such a person among the people he was looking for? Isn’t he too young?
A boy in the corner walked forward, clasped his fists and bowed, then stood up and looked at Yu Tingwan nervously.
"Princess, I want to be a military doctor, is that okay?"
The boy was a little scared, but he was not afraid that the princess would treat him as the group of people had just said. He knew that the princess was definitely not that kind of person.
But he was worried that the princess would look down on him.
"Are you the one chosen by this general?"
Seeing that he ignored him completely, Song Shixu felt a little depressed and had to continue asking.
Yu Tingwan was also surprised. The little boy was too young. It seemed that he was not even sure whether he was ten years old or not. How could he be in the military camp?
"who are you?"
This time the boy knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed and said:
"My name is Zhang Daya, the water carrier in the Fire Camp. I once learned calligraphy and pharmacology from my father, but later my family suffered a misfortune, so I followed the people in the village to the military camp."
Zhang Daya told his entire story, then kowtowed to Yu Tingwan with a hint of request in his eyes.
"Princess, I can endure hardships. I can endure any hardship. Please let me study medicine with you!"
This surprised Yu Tingwan and Song Shixu. Yu Tingwan turned his head slightly and gestured to the air, and the people in the dark left.
Song Shixu looked at him and frowned.
"I was asking around the military camp, who knew about herbs? Why didn't you come to me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Daya's face turned red and he stammered for a long time without being able to speak.
Just when Song Shixu was getting impatient, the person who had just left came back and brought someone with him.
"Your Highness, this man is from the same hometown as Zhang Daya. When I went there, I happened to see him looking for him."
After saying that, seeing Yu Tingwan nod, the man flashed back into the darkness.
The two people kneeling on the ground were frightened by this scene.
Why is the person gone?
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhang Dayong, who had just arrived, was brought back to his senses by Song Shixu's impatient voice and kowtowed as well.
"Princess, please forgive me, Princess, please forgive me. Da Ya didn't mean to not come. He tried a herb some time ago and ended up poisoning himself. He finally recovered, but this kid didn't believe in evil and rubbed his legs with that herb again. As a result, he lost all feeling in his legs. I almost thought he had to be chopped off. He was only able to get out of bed today!"
Yu Tingwan looked at Zhang Daya in surprise and saw that his entire head had turned red.
Then he looked at Song Shixu who was standing next to him. He also looked at him in surprise. The two of them looked at each other and saw the helpless look in each other's eyes.
What can I say, this kid is really brave!
Yu Tingwan coughed lightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
"Um, big bud, right? What did you taste? Any more? Show it to me."
Hearing this, Zhang Daya said that the things were all under his quilt and he didn't have them with him.
Yu Tingwan waved at him.
"Then go and show it to me."
Zhang Daya took the order and left, and Yu Tingwan asked Zhang Dayong, who had been kneeling, to stand up.
"Tell me about Zhang Daya's situation."
Then he looked at Song Shixu and said, "Go and call Lu Cheng."
Song Shixu pointed at himself and got a nod from Yu Tingwan.
He turned around and went out helplessly. After all, he was now someone's errand boy. Wasn't this the role of an errand boy?
Zhang Dayong didn't know what Yu Tingwan was going to do, but he still spoke honestly:
“Princess, Da Ya is a poor man. Originally, his family was considered wealthy in our village. They even opened a medicine shop and were a cultured family. They were also well-known good people in our village and took good care of the villagers.
It's not easy for a village to have such a family, but fate played a trick on them, and Da Ya's family was burned to death, leaving only the six-year-old Da Ya!"
Zhang Dayong wiped his eyes with his hand. When he talked about Daya's family, he felt very sad.
"Da Ya, who used to be cheerful, became quiet because of this incident. After a year of eating at various restaurants, he followed us to the military camp when the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, and happened to be assigned to work under the prince."
He felt that this was a sign of God's mercy, and that the prince was much better than other people.
"Luckily, it was the prince. After hearing about Daya's situation, he didn't say anything and let him stay with our Huotou Camp. However, Daya still liked medicine and wanted to take Doctor Wang as his teacher. But Doctor Wang was not willing to accept Daya as his teacher, so he teased him and kicked him out."
"Da Ya also knew what kind of person Doctor Wang was. Since then, he has never been to the nunnery again!"
Finally, Zhang Dayong said:
"Princess, Daya is a grateful and hardworking child. He certainly doesn't want to give up his father's inherited medical skills, so he came here. If you think he is not qualified, just send him back. Please!"
After listening to what he said, Yu Tingwan pinched her brows slightly and asked an irrelevant question.
"How old is Big Bud?"
Zhang Dayong was about to speak when Yu Tingwan said, "I want to hear the truth!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dayong instantly became nervous, and like Zhang Daya before, he began to stammer and was unable to speak for a long time.
"Princess, I am twelve years old!"
