Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Now Biyue practices martial arts and learns medical skills every day.

Ever since I eavesdropped on my grandparents’ conversation last time, I have been quietly putting a small bowl of intermediate spiritual spring water in the kitchen water tank every few days to keep the whole family healthier.

The herbs in the backyard have also been dried. Grandma said that she would take them to the town to sell. Grandpa said that they could be sold at a good price in the county. Qinghui will be back from vacation in a few days, and he will take them to the pharmacy in the county to sell them. These were the herbs that Biyue had dug up in the mountains with great difficulty. It would not be cost-effective to sell them at a low price. Grandma thought it made sense.

Two days later, my fourth uncle came back from the county town. He looked much thinner this time, and he must have been under a lot of pressure.

Grandma and grandpa were very distressed. Among the three sons in the family, only the youngest son had some academic achievements. The other two sons only went to school for three years, stopped studying after learning a few words, and went back home to farm. The youngest son worked so hard because he didn't want to let down the family's support and encouragement over the years and wanted to prove himself.

But it is not so easy to pass the exam to become a scholar. Haven't you seen many white-bearded students? I asked my son if he had breakfast. He said he bought two buns on the way home and he is not hungry now.

When the fourth uncle returned to his room, his three little nephews came to see him. They hadn't seen the fourth uncle for a long time, and the children chattered non-stop and were very affectionate.

Fourth Uncle didn't see Bi Yue, so he asked the three kids, "Why is your second sister missing? Did she go out?" The three children said that their second sister was studying medicine with Doctor Lin and would not be back until noon. Fourth Uncle became even more curious. How could Yue'er go to study medicine after not seeing her for more than ten days? However, he didn't ask the kids any more. He would find time to ask their parents later and they would know the reason.

"Have you been studying hard during this period? Have you been lazy? I'll test you later. If you pass, I'll give you snacks in the afternoon." The three children answered in unison that they were studying very hard.

The fourth uncle asked the three brothers to recite the Three Character Classic, sorted by age from oldest to youngest. Tingwei finished reciting it very seriously, but the three-year-old Tingyuan and the two-year-old Tingbai were not so optimistic. They could not read on until the fifth sentence. The fourth uncle still praised them and asked them to keep working hard.

Bi Yue came back at noon. When she walked to the gate, she saw the fourth and fifth brothers waiting for her there. She was very surprised and asked them, only to find out that her fourth uncle had come back. She hurriedly took her two younger brothers to her fourth uncle's room, where her fourth uncle was teaching Tingwei to write on paper.

Bi Yue shouted happily, "Fourth Uncle, you're back. You seem to have lost weight. Did you not eat well?" Fourth Uncle was also very happy to see his little niece, and hurriedly said, "Come, let Fourth Uncle see our little Yue Yue. She has become very capable now. She started studying medicine at a young age. She will definitely become an outstanding female doctor when she grows up. I heard from your grandma that you know a lot of herbs now. That's really great."

The lunch was very sumptuous, with stewed chicken with mushrooms, fried eggplant, loofah soup, and a pot of rice, which satisfied all ten people.

At noon, the children all went to rest. Bi Yue returned to bed, but couldn't sleep thinking about her fourth uncle. She took out the water cup that she ordered last time from the locker, filled it with primary spiritual spring water, and covered it with a lid.

The appearance of this cup is an antique bamboo cup, 25cm high, with bamboo leaves painted on the cup, which is in line with the aesthetic of this era and very suitable for the taste of scholars.

Bi Yue put the photographic memory pills into a small box and came to Fourth Uncle's door. The door was half open and the window in the room was opened from the inside to the outside. The sunlight came in and the light was very good. Fourth Uncle was sitting on a chair, his left hand resting on the table, and his right hand holding a book and reading it seriously.

Bi Yue came over and called out, "Fourth Uncle, you must be thirsty. I brought you a glass of water. You didn't take a break at noon and you are still studying hard. This is the cup I gave you. The lid opens by twisting. If you close it tightly, the water won't spill out."

Biyue put the cup on Fourth Uncle's table. Fourth Uncle picked up the cup, opened it and took two sips. He felt that the water was sweet and delicious, refreshing and very tasty.

Bi Yue took out a paper box from her bosom, opened it, and said to her fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, I know that studying is very time-consuming for you, so I will give you a nutritional pill. It will be good for your health."

The fourth uncle was a little hesitant and didn't dare to eat it, but he didn't want to disappoint his niece, so he swallowed the photomemory pill under Biyue's expectant eyes. The pill melted in his mouth and had a faint fragrance. The fourth uncle said, "Thank you, Xiaoyueyue, you are still young, go to sleep at noon!" "Then the fourth uncle will also take a rest at noon." "Okay, listen to Xiaoyueyue."

After returning to my bed from my fourth uncle's room and asking the system, I learned that taking the photographic memory pill would make people sleepy. The pill would transform the brain while people are sleeping, making the brain clearer and the brain expansion larger, making it easier and faster to learn knowledge. This is the charm of the photographic memory pill.

Tingsong is 8 years old and has been in school for more than a year. Should he be allowed to eat one as well? Will he suddenly become a child prodigy? A big change will arouse suspicion. It is better to let the spiritual spring water transform his physique and brain first!

Now I fill the water tank at home with intermediate spiritual spring water, which makes him smarter than his peers. After a year, I will let him take the memory pill, and then everything will be natural.
