Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

The next day, Biyue went to Doctor Lin's house accompanied by her grandmother.

When they met Village Chief Tao on the way, Bi Yue greeted him warmly, "Good morning, Village Chief Grandpa."

Grandma also greeted the village chief, who smiled and responded, "Hey! Good, you are such a good kid. Come out for a walk. The air is good in the morning."

Grandma responded: "Yes, the child is bored at home every day, I took her to visit relatives, let's go!"

Doctor Lin's home was in the center of the village. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at Doctor Lin's door. The door was open, and the grandfather and grandson walked into the yard. They saw Doctor Lin's father moving firewood in the yard and his little grandson playing nearby.

Grandma hurriedly greeted, "Uncle Lin, what are you busy with?"

"Hello, Grandpa Lin, I'm Biyue."

"Oh! Xiaoyue is here, come in and sit down," Doctor Lin came out from the inner room. The three of them returned to the main room, and grandma put two packages on the table.

Doctor Lin saw it and said hurriedly: "It's good that you are here, what gifts do you bring?"

Grandma responded: "Yes, a little food is not worth much. Wait until Bi Yue's father comes back, and then give her the gift of apprenticeship." Doctor Lin saw that Grandma Bi Yue insisted, so he said nothing more, and Grandma said goodbye and went home.

Bi Yue didn't know what to do and felt a little confused.

Doctor Lin called Biyue over, took out a book of herbal medicine with pictures, and asked her to read it while he went to pound the medicine. The wife of Doctor Lin, who was in the backyard, came and greeted Biyue. Biyue called her grandma and continued reading.

Doctor Lin's little grandson came in from outside, staring at Biyue with his big eyes, and called in a baby voice, "Sister!"

Bi Yue was very happy to see the little baby and asked him, "How old are you? What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Nanxing, I'm two years old, are you here to play with me?"

Bi Yue answered him, "Yes, are you welcome?"

"Welcome, my mother won't let me go out, saying there are big dogs outside that will bite me."

Bi Yue said seriously: "That's right! Let's play at home. What do you usually play?"

The little baby said, "I can recognize words and medicines from Grandpa. I am very good at it."

Bi Yue looked at him with a smile, "Really? Tell me, what words do you know? And what medicinal herbs do you know?"

The little baby answered seriously, "When people are born, they are good by nature. The weather is good, with clouds, wind, rain, flying, and many more, but I forgot."

Bi Yue smiled and said, "Great, you know so many words. Can I call you Little Star?"

The little baby looked at Biyue and said, "Just play with me!" What a smart little one, he even has conditions.

At this time, a beautiful woman in her twenties walked in from outside. She was wearing a light blue dress and cloth shoes. Seeing Bi Yue chatting with her son, she smiled and greeted Bi Yue and told her son, "Nan Xing, my sister is reading a book, don't disturb her."

"Aunt, don't bother me. I like talking to him very much. He is very smart. He knows a lot of words and he even said he knows herbs."

The aunt was very happy to hear Bi Yue praising her son, "Your name is Bi Yue, right? It's good for you to come to study, and Nan Xing can have a companion, you two can study together. His grandfather said that this child has a good understanding, better than his father, and his father doesn't like to learn this."

"Where is uncle? He's not at home?"

"He went to work in the county town with your father and uncle, and won't be back for a month!"

"Biyue, read the book! I'll go wash some clothes." Then she left. Biyue opened the book and called Nanxing over to read with her. While reading, she told little Nanxing what it was. The great grandfather and great grandmother also smiled as they walked through the gate and looked into the house. They were very satisfied to see the two children studying seriously.

Doctor Lin’s wife brought in two bowls of water and said to the two children, “Are you thirsty? Drink some warm water.” It would have been better if they hadn’t said it, because they were indeed a little thirsty.

Biyue drank some water and said to Grandma Lin, "I want to go to the toilet to pee." Grandma Lin took Biyue to the backyard. After coming out of the backyard, Biyue went back to the house to continue reading while Grandma Lin went to work.

Doctor Lin came in a moment later. "Yue girl, how are you? Are you used to it?"

"Very good, Master. When are you going to the mountain to collect herbs? Can I go with you? I'm very lucky. I'm sure I can collect a lot of good herbs if I go with you."

"After these two days of work, when the weather is nice, I'll take you there. Are you okay with a long walk?"

"Of course I can. I won't hold you back."

"Okay, come here. There are some herbs in this bamboo dustpan that haven't been dried yet. I'll go up the mountain to collect some more in a few days. Take a look first. If you don't understand, ask me. I'll go get some common medicine."

The little baby also followed his grandfather out. Bi Yue carefully looked at the herbs and medical books. If she didn't understand something, she would ask the system. She really learned a lot in the morning. Hehe!

At noon, Biyue said goodbye and went home. Doctor Lin said to Biyue: "You come in the morning every day, and you will feel sleepy in the afternoon. You are still young, so haste makes waste. Take your time."

"Ok!"

Bi Yue wished she could only come in the morning. The original intention of studying medicine was to accumulate points. It would be even better if she could succeed. Having multiple skills would give her more capital to rely on. In the ancient times, this was a priceless good thing. I will repay Doctor Lin if I have the chance in the future. This is a later story.

When she got home, she saw Wang making clothes in the yard. Seeing her daughter coming back, she asked, "Yue'er, what did you learn today? Are you tired?"

Bi Yue responded, "Mother, I'm not tired at all. I just read some beginner medical books. There are pictures in the books, so I can understand them at a glance. Then I wrote down the pharmacology of each medicine. Doctor Lin said I don't need to go in the afternoon, so I can make my own arrangements at home in the afternoon."

Grandma, second aunt, and three younger brothers stood by and listened to the mother and daughter talking.

Grandma said, "You must be hungry! Let's have lunch. After lunch, you kids can go to sleep."

Grandma went to the backyard to call Grandpa to the main hall for dinner. After dinner, grandma cleaned up the dishes and the children went to Biyue's room. Biyue said, "Do you want to learn to identify herbs too? I can teach you."

The three children replied, "Yes, that's good. Being able to recognize herbs can save your life at a critical moment. This is what Doctor Lin said."

Bi Yue half-truthfully deceived a few people, hoping that they would have a skill, which was a good thing. So the two little ones had to share the big bed with Ting Wei today, and Bi Yue also slept in her own small bed.

"System, I will take the Power Pill and the Invisibility Pill tomorrow. This way, I will be able to protect myself if I encounter any danger when I go to the mountains to collect herbs the day after tomorrow."

"Yes host."

"Are the Chinese herbal medicine books in the system expensive? I want to buy the ones with color pictures, an antique water cup, some elementary martial arts and light skills, and two kilograms of strawberries. I'll put them in the space cabinet first and calculate how much they cost!"

"Host, 2360 points, 2.36 taels of silver. Your total is points, minus 2360 equals points."

"It looks like a lot, but the good stuff in here is really expensive." I'll buy the Photographic Memory Pill and the Wisdom Pill, and I'll be back to the time before liberation. I still have to work hard. In the current situation, I have to go up the mountain more to have hope! I don't want to think about it anymore, I go to sleep, say goodbye to the system, and Bi Yue falls asleep!
