Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

The three adults put the firewood in the woodshed in the backyard, washed their hands and faces with towels, drew water from the well, and drank their fill. The two children went to the kitchen to drink warm water.

Second Aunt heard the noise and came out of the room and said to the four of them, "I'm back. The food is warm in the pot."

Biyue found a bamboo sieve and put the herbs on it. Grandma saw it and asked Biyue, "These are herbs. Did you dig them?"

"Yes grandma!"

"Oh my! My granddaughter is amazing. She knows medicinal herbs at such a young age."

"Grandma, my fourth uncle has a book about these herbs. I picked them based on the pictures."

"Old man, did you hear that? Your granddaughter is really smart."

Second Aunt came over, looked at the branches in the bamboo sieve and asked, "Is this really a medicinal herb? Is it difficult to collect? If not, digging some medicinal herbs and exchanging them for money is also an income."

"It must be difficult to dig." Grandma replied.

After dinner, Bi Yue went to the bathroom and then returned to bed to rest.

Lying on the bed: "System, how many points do I have?"

"Host, you have 1150 points now. You can upgrade to the next level. Do you want to upgrade now?"

“How long will it take to upgrade?”

The system replied, "Three hours."

"Then I'll just take a good sleep, let's go!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

When Bi Yue woke up in the afternoon, she called the system immediately, but there was no response. She thought it must still be upgrading. Never mind, she would ask again after the upgrade was completed. She didn't know what time it was. There were no mobile phones or watches in ancient times, so she had no way to tell the time. It was confusing.

I walked out of the room, went to the kitchen to drink some warm water, and came to the yard. Wang and the second aunt were making clothes, and they were sewing clothes for children.

"Mom, Second Aunt is making clothes, is there anything for me?"

Second Aunt smiled and said, "Of course, the light red one your mother sewed is yours, and mine is Tingbai's."

"I remember now. That day when I went to town, my grandmother bought some cloth. I seem to remember there was this light red one. It turned out to be for me."

Wang smiled and said, "You are the only girl in the family. How can others wear such bright colors, child?"

"Hehe!" Bi Yue gave two fake laughs awkwardly.

"My grandparents are still sleeping?"

"I got up early. Your grandfather went to the fields and grandma went out too."

"How many brothers are there?"

Second Aunt said, "He hasn't gotten up yet. The child should sleep a little longer and grow up. There's nothing to be busy about." The three of them chatted with each other.

Then she heard voices outside the door, which sounded a bit like her grandmother's voice. Biyue walked outside and saw her grandmother bringing Doctor Lin to the door. She immediately thought that they must be coming to her house to check on the medicinal herbs they had dug from the mountain in the morning.

After entering the yard, Doctor Lin smiled and said, "Yue girl, you are better now, and you look good. I heard from your grandmother that you went up the mountain today and dug some medicinal herbs. You are so capable at such a young age."

As he spoke, he walked to the bamboo sieve where the medicinal materials were placed, picked up some and looked at them, "Oh, Ophiopogon japonicus, Pinellia ternata, Salvia miltiorrhiza, these are all good medicines, especially Salvia miltiorrhiza, they can be sold at a good price. Who told you to recognize them?" Bi Yue definitely couldn't give out the system.

Grandma smiled and said, "Yue'er said she borrowed a book from her fourth uncle."

"He can already read at the age of 5. He is so smart. Your family is really good. Every child starts to learn to read at a young age. Your family's education is very far-sighted. It's good that you are not blind."

Doctor Lin said a lot of nice things and praised her like they were free, and grandma couldn't stop smiling.

Doctor Lin sighed, "It's a pity that it's a girl. It would be better if it was a boy. She could study medicine well. Studying medicine requires talent and perseverance to achieve great success."

"Girls can learn too! If we have female doctors, we can treat girls. It's inevitable that people will get sick if they eat all kinds of grains. It's the same for both men and women."

Bi Yue thought of the hospital in her previous life, where there were countless female doctors. The shackles on women in ancient times were too harsh. Life was not easy for women, and it was even harder for women in ancient times.

Doctor Lin was greatly shocked when he heard the shocking words from a little girl who was over 5 years old. He lamented that the little girl from the Chen family would have a great future and would not be confined in this small mountain village. She would soar to the sky in the future, so he had to maintain a good relationship with her.

Doctor Lin thought for a while and said, "If you have time, you can come to my place. I will teach you some basic knowledge of medicinal materials. If you can be patient and keep learning, it won't be too late to formally become my disciple when you are older. What do you think?"

Biyue thought: I am still young, and my elders at home will never let me go to the mountains. If I learn from Doctor Lin, I will have the opportunity to go with him when he goes up the mountain to collect herbs. It is also more convenient to exchange points. It is a two-birds-at-one deal. I would be a fool not to agree.

"Thank you, Dr. Lin. Please take care of me in the future! I will study hard."

"Hahaha! Okay, okay!" "Then I'll go back. You can come over tomorrow when you're free."

"Okay." Biyue and her grandmother saw Doctor Lin off at the door and then came in.

Bi Yue saw that the time was almost up, so she returned to her room. It should have been three hours. "Is the system here?"

"Yes, host, the update is complete and you can buy it now."

"Tell me how to buy it."

"Host, you have leveled up twice today, and your storage compartment has been upgraded to a locker, which is as big as four storage compartments. You can draw a lottery once when you level up, and once when you level up twice. Do you want to draw now or wait?"

Bi Yue responded: "Draw now," the lottery is like opening a blind box, exciting and novel, so exciting! A panel appeared in front of me, clicked the red <Lottery>, and a powerful pill appeared. Could it be to increase strength?

The display light shows ＜Lottery＞click again, ＜Invisibility Pill, 1 Liter of Primary Spiritual Spring Water＞.

Wow! These two are good stuff, invisibility pills and spiritual spring water. Time travel stories often say that this is a magical water that strengthens the body. Even if you have money, you have nowhere to buy it. I made a profit.

"System, what are the effects of this primary spiritual spring water?"

"Host, the primary spiritual spring can be drunk directly or mixed with water. If you are sick or have a bleeding wound, drink it directly and the effect will be immediate. If a person whose heart is about to stop drinking it, they will immediately regain their vitality. It can cure diseases, strengthen the body if they are not sick, and increase intelligence. If a stupid person drinks it, they will slowly become normal. Men and women who have difficulty getting pregnant can drink it for half a month and they will definitely get pregnant next month."

"Good baby, I have to give it to my family. My fourth uncle took the exam for the scholar degree, but he failed the first two times. I have to let him drink more so that he can pass it next year. Children and adults at home can drink it, so they can be healthy and enjoy their meals more, hehe!"

"Host, you can also take the Strength Pill. It will give you great strength. Aren't you studying medicine? You must go up the mountain to collect herbs when you have time. Then you won't be afraid of danger. Take the Invisibility Pill as a double insurance."

Bi Yue exclaimed: "Yes, that's right, what can I buy with the points in the system?"

"Host, let me explain to you first. Points can be divided into positive and negative levels. The positive level is the current 1150 points, and the negative level is 1150 points, which can be used to buy food, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc.

After the purchase, you can no longer purchase things in the system when the negative level reaches zero. The positive level points remain unchanged at 1150 points. You need to complete tasks to redeem points, or you can use the gold and silver in this world to recharge. Recharges are non-refundable.

For example, if you top up 100 taels and you are short of money and want to withdraw 50 taels to spend, you cannot do that. The points converted into negative points can only be used to shop in the system mall. The gold and silver topped up can only be used for negative points, and positive points are not accepted, and the points do not increase. "

"So the regular level only accepts plants? Then subsequent upgrades will be even more difficult."

"Host, we don't just collect plants, we also collect animals, and they have to be alive. The positive level is responsible for upgrading, and the negative level is specifically for shopping. If there is something good, the positive level will never refuse it."

"Ok."

"Host, take a look at what is available in level one and level two. Do you need to buy it?"
