Chapter 28 Strange Sound
The sudden sound made Lu Qing startled for a moment, and then he became a little wary.
what sound?
Man, beast, or mouse?
He thought of the mysterious little beast that stole two large pieces of fish last night.
Could it be that guy is here again?
But he had already put the fish and meat in the house. This guy wouldn't be so bold as to break in, would he?
Thinking of the information that the supernatural power had detected in the morning, that mysterious little beast seemed to have sharp claws, Lu Qing couldn't help but clenched a stick beside the bed.
At this moment, he missed the electricity in his previous life.
If it were a house from a previous life, no matter what kind of beast you were, just turning on the light would probably scare it away.
It's a pity that he can't even afford to light an oil lamp now, let alone use the bright light to scare away wild beasts.
The noise outside still continued, like the sound of something pulling at the door.
Even though Lu Qing had always been bold, he felt a little scared at the moment.
He held the stick tightly and walked gently out of the room into the hall.
Suddenly, the stick banged on the door, making a loud noise.
The sound outside the door suddenly disappeared.
Lu Qing held the stick and stood calmly in the hall.
After a long time, he didn't hear the sound again.
However, he did not dare to open the door and check rashly.
After a long time, and after confirming that there was no movement outside, Lu Qing returned to the room.
I have to say that the requiem-calming effect of blue turtle stone is still very good.
Such a loud sound just now did not wake Xiaoyan up.
Otherwise, Lu Qing would have to coax her for a long time.
That night, Lu Qing couldn't sleep well.
Because he was afraid that the thing would come back, he didn't sleep much all night. It wasn't until dawn that he squinted his eyes and slept for a while.
So when he went to Dr. Chen's place the next day, Lu Qing had two big dark circles under his eyes and looked listless.
When the old doctor saw him like this, he frowned.
Lu Qing, I know you want to read through the Hundred Herbs Classic as soon as possible, but this study requires a combination of work and rest. Sometimes just immersing yourself in reading will only achieve twice the result with twice the result.
Besides, if you want to become a doctor in the future, you need to take good care of your own body. If you can't even take good care of your own body, how can you keep a clear mind and treat diseases and save people?
But he thought Lu Qing's listless look was because he stayed up late reading a book last night.
Grandpa Chen, it's not what you thought. Lu Qing said with a wry smile, I didn't sleep well last night for another reason.
He said that he told what happened last night.
You mean, there was a wild beast that wanted to enter your house last night, and that's why you didn't sleep well all night? The old doctor was surprised.
Yes, because I was worried that it would sneak in and hurt Xiaoyan, so I didn't dare to sleep. Lu Qing rubbed his eyes.
Brother, why doesn't Xiaoyan know?
The little guy had no idea that something like this happened last night, and his eyes suddenly widened.
You slept like a little pig last night, of course you didn't know.
Lu Qing reached out and tapped his sister's little nose.
But that's not your solution. You can't stay awake every night.
The old doctor thought for a while, turned around and went back to the house. Not long after, he took out a bag of things and handed it to Lu Qing.
Take this powder.
Grandpa Chen, what is this? Lu Qing asked holding something.
This is a medicinal powder I prepared myself. It contains a variety of medicinal materials that can repel insects and beasts. I usually use it for self-defense when walking in the mountains.
Listen to you, that beast shouldn't be big.
After you go back, sprinkle the powder around the house. The beast will probably be wary and won't bother you again.
When Lu Qing heard this, he was overjoyed: Thank you, Grandpa Chen!
The old doctor really gave me this powder in time.
Otherwise, Lu Qing would have to consider setting a trap to catch the mysterious beast.
However, some of the information previously detected by his powers made him a little afraid to act rashly.
After all, the footprints of that mysterious little beast alone are already at the level of white light.
Who knows how powerful it is as its true master.
Putting away the medicinal powder, Lu Qing took out the Hundred Herbs Classic and continued to ask the old doctor for advice.
This time, Dr. Chen was even more surprised.
He found that Lu Qing learned the Hundred Herbs Classic very quickly.
Not only did he completely remember what he taught yesterday.
Even the rest of the content has been reviewed in place to draw inferences from one example.
If we continue at this rate, it won't take long before we can finish the entire book.
Very good. I can see that you really worked hard when you went back yesterday.
The old doctor stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
I dare not forget Grandpa Chen's advice. Lu Qing said respectfully.
Okay, let's stop here for today. You have gradually become familiar with this Hundred Herbs Classic, but just being familiar with the medicinal book is not enough.
Whether you are a doctor or a medicinal collector, you need to know how to identify and select real medicinal materials.
I remember that there are some common medicinal materials growing near the village. You can observe more on weekdays and compare them with the Hundred Herbs Classic to see if the real medicinal herbs are consistent with those recorded in the book. The old doctor taught road.
Yes, Lu Qing took note of it. Lu Qing replied.
By the way, you and Xiaoyan don't have to come up here tomorrow. I have to go to the city and help you sell the red moon carp. You can just study at home. The old doctor said again.
Grandpa Chen, are you going to the city? Lu Qing was a little excited.
Yes, the medicine shop in the city has ordered some medicinal materials from me. I want to send them over. The old doctor said, Why, do you need me to buy something for you? After the red moon carp is sold, you will have a fortune. It’s quite a fortune.”
Yes! Lu Qing said immediately.
He really wanted to ask the old doctor to help him buy something.
Oh, what do you want to buy?
I want to buy an iron pot! Lu Qing said, Grandpa Chen, you also know that our family suffered a change before, and I sold a lot of things in the house, including the only iron pot, so I added a new one. .”
Iron pot... it's not impossible. The old doctor pondered for a moment and agreed, Is there any more?
There is also salt. We are running out of salt at home and I want to buy some more.
Do you need to buy anything else?
No need for the others, let's buy these two for now. Lu Qing shook his head.
In fact, there are many things he wants to buy.
Oil, food, clothes, shoes, etc., he wanted to buy many things.
But he knew he had to do things in a measured way.
The old doctor is an elder, so it is very rare for him to be willing to help with things. If he wants to push the envelope, he will ask others to help him buy everything, but he will not know the right amount.
If it weren't for the iron pot and salt, which could only be bought in the city, he wouldn't even bother the old doctor with these two items.
As for the other items, it will be the same when he buys them from a large store later.
After returning from Dr. Chen's place, Lu Qing immediately sprinkled the packet of medicinal powder around the house.
I thought everything would be fine now and I could have a good sleep.
However, at night, after Xiaoyan fell asleep, he heard the sound again.
