Chapter 27 Simple Folk Customs and Bedtime Stories

When Lu Qing took Xiaoyan back to the village, he saw the villagers gathering and chatting under the big tree in the village.

He was greeted with smiles.

Aqing and Xiaoyan are back? a villager said with a smile.

Well, I just came back from Grandpa Chen. Lu Qing nodded, a little confused, What are you doing here? What happened?

No, no. The villagers shook their heads.

Ah Qing, when you are learning from Dr. Chen, you must study hard! At this time, an old man said.

Yes, if you have any difficulties, just tell everyone. We are all from the same village, so there is no need to be so polite.

It's rare that Dr. Chen is willing to teach you medical skills. You must seize the opportunity!

Other villagers also said.

Seeing the concerned expressions on the faces of the villagers, Lu Qing felt a little dazed.

He remembered what the old doctor said to him before going down the mountain.

Lu Qing, you know these nearby villages, why should I choose to live in your village?

Lu Qing doesn't know.

That's because I like the folk customs of your village very much.

Old man, I have been traveling all over the country for decades. I have seen and lived in villages ranging from one thousand to eight hundred.

In these villages, there are rich, poor, benevolent, and xenophobic.

But the folk customs in your village are rare and simple.

Unite and help each other, live in harmony with neighbors and support each other.

Although the villagers occasionally quarrel, they do not become enemies. If someone's family is in trouble, those who should help will still help.

Such a harmonious village is rare even in my travels for most of my life.

When I first arrived in your village, I was attracted by the simplicity and simplicity, and finally decided to live in the village.

After listening to the old doctor's words, Lu Qing was thoughtful at that time.

Indeed, even he could feel that the villagers in the village were very simple.

Otherwise, in a less popular village, he and Xiaoyan would probably have been treated coldly and even bullied.

Where can I still live in my own home as safely as I do now?

Grandpa Chen, I heard you just say that the villages outside seem to be different from our village? Lu Qing asked at that time.

It's very different. Even if other villages are harmonious, they are not as supportive and benevolent as your village.

Then why is our village different from others?

Well, I don't know much about this. Maybe you can ask the elders in the village in the future.

Thinking back to the conversation with the old doctor, and then looking at the villagers in front of him who showed ardent concern for him.

Lu Qing suddenly smiled and nodded seriously: Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely learn medical skills from Grandpa Chen with all my heart.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan's hand and walked home, feeling very happy.

He was a little lucky.

Fortunately, it was the village he was reborn into today.

If you were to be reborn in a village with bad customs as the old doctor said, you would probably face a lot of troubles.

As it is now, although life is a bit harder, there are not so many bad things to worry about.

What's more, as he becomes more familiar with the world, he believes that even life will eventually be better for him.

After returning home, Lu Qing asked Xiaoyan to play by herself, so he took out the Baicao Jing and continued reading.

After knowing the value of Red Moon Carp, he became less eager to find ways to make money.

After Old Doctor Chen helps sell the red moon carp, he will have a sum of money, enough to live with Xiaoyan for a while.

What he values ​​most now is the old doctor's test.

As long as he passes the test, he can officially study medicine with the old doctor, and he must seize this opportunity.

Therefore, even with the help of supernatural powers, the entire Hundred Herbs Classic has been memorized.

Lu Qing still did not relax and studied the contents diligently.

Time passed slowly while Lu Qing read.

During this period, some villagers also came over and wanted to ask some questions about fishing.

After all, the two big fish he caught yesterday were quite shocking to everyone.

There are people who want to come and get some sutras.

But when he saw Lu Qing reading in the yard, he still didn't dare to disturb him and quietly left.

Lu Qing still cooked fish for dinner, plus blanched a handful of wild vegetables picked from the yard.

After dinner, it was already dark. After Lu Qing read for a while, it was completely dark.

The family couldn't afford to light an oil lamp now, so as soon as it got dark, he put the books away.

However, after such an afternoon of review, his familiarity with the Hundred Herbs Classic has gone further.

Except for the unclear meaning of some words, there is almost no doubt about it.

After all, the Baicao Jing is just a book introducing herbal medicine. It is a popular science medical book and does not involve any medical theory. It is not difficult to read it through.

Not to mention that Lu Qing also has supernatural powers to help.

He believed that even if Dr. Chen wanted to test him immediately, he would be able to pass.

After putting away the books, Lu Qing prepared to coax Xiaoyan to sleep.

This other world is not like the bustling world of his previous life. Nightlife begins in the early morning.

Here, ten o'clock in the evening is considered to be a late night sleep.

Generally, everyone goes to bed at eight or nine o'clock after dark.

Brother, Xiaoyan is not sleepy yet.

The little guy was lying on the bed, covered with a small quilt.

The moonlight shines onto the bed from outside the window, just enough to see the little guy's round eyes.

Xiaoyan, be good, go to bed early, we have to go to Grandpa Chen's place tomorrow. Lu Qing coaxed.

But Xiaoyan can't sleep. The little guy lied.

What should we do? Lu Qing was dumbfounded.

Brother tells me a story, and Xiaoyan also wants to hear the story about the little monkey from last time! The little guy said his purpose.

Okay. Lu Qing sighed, Where did we talk last time?

He regretted it a little.

Two nights ago, after Xiaoyan woke up in the middle of the night, she kept crying, and he couldn't stop coaxing her.

In the end, I could only tell her a story, but the little one became addicted to it all of a sudden.

I mentioned last time that the little monkey wanted to be the king! Xiaoyan remembered it very clearly.

Okay, so that day, the monkeys were playing in the mountain stream and accidentally discovered a water curtain cave...

Yes, what Lu Qing told was exactly the story of the Monkey King.

However, he had not read the original work carefully in his previous life, and he actually did not remember the specific plot of the story very clearly.

You can only use the impressions in your mind to organize your own language.

Fortunately, the story of the Monkey King is endlessly attractive to children.

Even if he cut everything off and ignored many details, Xiaoyan still listened with interest.

But after all, he is a child and gets sleepy quickly, plus the soothing effect of green turtle stone.

After all, Xiaoyan couldn't hear the little monkey officially proclaiming himself king, so her eyelids were already clenched and she fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Qing gently covered her with the quilt and was about to return to his bed.

Suddenly, I heard a noise from outside.
