When Lu Qing saw the note, he was completely stunned.
He then smiled.
My special ability really does surprise people from time to time.
He was just worrying about how to finish this "Compendium of Materia Medica" when, unexpectedly, a pillow arrived so quickly.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing chose to download it.
【Downloading, current progress: 1%...】
Lu Qing waited quietly, but after a while, he still didn't see the progress bar move.
He paused for a moment, thought for a moment, picked up the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and slowly began to read it from the beginning.
Sure enough, as he browsed through the pages, the download progress bar started moving.
【1%, 2%, 3%...98%, 99%, 100%】
【The download of "The Classic of Materia Medica" is complete. Do you wish to begin studying it?】
When Lu Qing finished reading the entire "Compendium of Materia Medica," his supernatural ability showed that it had been completely downloaded.
At the same time, a new note appeared.
Lu Qing chose to study directly.
The next moment, a flood of information poured into his mind, as if enlightened, allowing him to quickly memorize and understand the contents of the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
From the outside, Lu Qing just seemed to be staring blankly at a book, but no one knew what kind of changes were taking place in his mind.
"The art of herbal medicine is indeed profound and extensive."
After a while, Lu Qing came to his senses and sighed.
At this moment, he had memorized the entire "Compendium of Materia Medica".
And I have a basic understanding of the contents of the book.
He was already very familiar with the names and properties of the various herbs described in the book.
Of course, this understanding is still just theoretical.
Next, he needs to study the actual herbs in comparison before he can truly master this "Compendium of Materia Medica".
However, even just this memory was enough for Lu Qing to realize the profoundness of the art of herbal medicine.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records hundreds of kinds of herbs, but this is only one ten-thousandth of all the herbs in the world.
These herbs, through their combinations and variations, can be formulated into a wide variety of medicinal prescriptions that can heal people and cure diseases; it is truly amazing.
Learning about the wonders of herbs, Lu Qing's interest grew even stronger.
Although he had already memorized the entire book, he continued to peruse the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his hands, reviewing the old to learn the new.
Dr. Chen remained inside, waiting for Lu Qing to come and consult him.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Qing still did not come in, so they had to go out into the courtyard to see what was going on.
Then he saw that Lu Qing was reading the "Compendium of Materia Medica" with great interest.
Xiaoyan, meanwhile, was catching butterflies and playing by herself in another corner, without disturbing her brother.
The old doctor was secretly pleased to see this.
It seems that Lu Qing's claim of being interested in herbs was not just empty talk.
Otherwise, how could he be so engrossed in reading a dry book like the "Compendium of Materia Medica"?
However, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is not so easy to understand.
Just as Dr. Chen was about to ask Lu Qing if there was anything he didn't understand...
Suddenly, several anxious shouts came from outside the courtyard.
"Is Dr. Chen home?"
"I'm here."
Hearing the panicked voices of the people outside, the old doctor quickly went out to greet them.
Lu Qing was also startled and stood up with the book in her hand.
Then he saw several villagers carrying in an unconscious person, and the old doctor directed them to place the person in the center of the courtyard.
Lu Qing recognized the unconscious man; he was from the same village, a villager he should call Uncle Zhao.
At this moment, Uncle Zhao was soaked to the bone, his face was ashen, his abdomen was swollen, and he was unconscious.
"Come on, everyone, spread out and let me take a look."
After directing the person to be put down, the old doctor waved for the villagers to disperse.
No one dared to disobey the old doctor's words, and they immediately stood far away.
One of them happened to step back in front of Lu Qing.
Lu Qing gently tapped his shoulder: "Brother Da'an."
The villager was startled. He turned around and saw Lu Qing. He was immediately surprised: "Lu Qing, what are you doing here?"
"Let's not talk about that now," Lu Qing said softly. "What happened to Uncle Zhao?"
“He fell into the water. If we hadn’t been nearby, he probably would have been swept away by the river,” Wang Da’an replied.
"How did he fall into the water?" Lu Qing asked in surprise. "Don't you guys usually go fishing together?"
“He wasn’t with us today; he went fishing somewhere else by himself.”
"where?"
Wang Da'an's expression turned a little unnatural. He looked around a few times and whispered, "This should be the place where you caught the big fish yesterday."
"..." Lu Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Then it shouldn't have fallen into the water. I've repaired that place to make it quite smooth."
"I don't know about that. We heard him calling for help, but by the time we got there, he was already in the river, swept far away, and almost sank."
As Wang Da'an recounted the story, he suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Oh right, when we rescued Lao Zhao, he was still tightly holding his fishing rod, but the fishing line had already broken."
Lu Qing fell silent again, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.
But he still asked, "Uncle Zhao, can't he swim?"
"No, if he could swim, how could he have drowned? The current wasn't very strong where he fell in."
"..." Lu Qing was speechless.
He can't swim, yet he went fishing by the river all by himself, and even dared to go into the river to steal the fishing rod. This Uncle Zhao is too unreliable.
Based on his years of fishing experience, Lu Qing had a pretty good idea of why Uncle Zhao fell into the water, but whether that was the case or not, he would only know after Uncle Zhao regained consciousness.
Lu Qing looked towards the center of the courtyard.
By this time, Dr. Chen had also learned from other villagers that Old Zhao's coma was caused by falling into the water.
He immediately pried open Lao Zhao's mouth to check if there was anything blocking it.
After confirming that there were no foreign objects, he immediately placed his hand on Lao Zhao's chest and abdomen.
No one knows what method he used, but as soon as he gently pressed his hands down, Old Zhao suddenly vomited a mouthful of turbid water.
Then the old doctor pressed down again, and Old Zhao spat out another mouthful of turbid water.
And so the old doctor continued to press, and with each press, Old Zhao would spit out a mouthful of turbid water.
After seven or eight coughs, the amount of turbid water that came out was much less. After about ten coughs, Old Zhao, who had been unconscious, suddenly coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.
"She's awake! She's awake!"
"Old Zhao is alive!"
"The old doctor is truly amazing!"
The villagers shouted with delight.
At the same time, they were filled with admiration for Dr. Chen's medical skills.
When they lifted Lao Zhao up just now, they saw that his chest was barely rising and falling, and they thought he was going to die.
Unexpectedly, the old doctor's skillful hands brought the person back to life.
Old Zhao coughed for a while and slowly regained consciousness.
Looking around at the people with a bit of confusion, he asked, "Where am I?"
