Chapter 9 Opportunity
Could it be that I made a mistake yesterday?
Looking at the confused Lu Qing, Doctor Chen had a little doubt about his medical skills for the first time.
But he quickly threw this idea out of his mind.
He was still very confident in his medical skills.
Lu Qing was indeed terminally ill yesterday, and there was no way he could have made a wrong diagnosis.
As for why Lu Qing recovered overnight, there must be another mystery.
It’s just that he couldn’t figure out this mystery.
Doctor Chen pondered for a while, but still couldn’t figure it out.
In the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that Lu Qing was a lucky person and was not destined to die.
At the same time, he also secretly sighed that his medical skills were not good enough to figure out the many mysteries of the human body.
If he had the ability of the innate grandmaster, who could see through everything, perhaps he could see how Lu Qing got better.
Thinking of this, Doctor Chen looked at Lu Qing and suddenly said,
“Lu Qing, although your condition has improved, you’re still a little weak. How about this? Starting tomorrow, every three days, you’ll come to me and I’ll give you a few acupuncture sessions to strengthen your body.”
Before Lu Qing could even say anything, Grandpa Zhang, standing beside him, was overjoyed.
“Lu Qing, why don’t you thank Doctor Chen? He never gives acupuncture to anyone easily!”
Lu Qing hesitated. “But I’m poor now, and I’m afraid
I can’t afford the medical treatment.” “No need to pay,” Doctor Chen said. “Your recovery this time is strange. I’m afraid there are some underlying conditions that I can’t diagnose. Giving you acupuncture will allow me to verify my medical knowledge and will be helpful.”
Seeing Doctor Chen’s words, Lu Qing could only thank him. “Thank you very much, Grandpa Chen.”
He had been worried about not having the chance to see Doctor Chen.
Now, there was a reason.
As for how his illness had improved, to be honest, not even he knew.
Perhaps the memory fusion had cured his illness.
Or perhaps it was his supernatural powers that had cured him.
He didn’t think Old Doctor Chen could diagnose it.
He also didn’t sense any ill will toward him. He was confident in his supernatural powers.
So, why wouldn’t he accept the care of such a skilled doctor?
Seeing Lu Qing agree, Old Doctor Chen smiled.
He’d been immersed in medicine his entire life, and it was rare for him to encounter such a difficult case, which piqued his curiosity about Lu Qing’s condition.
Treating Lu Qing was a piece of cake for him.
If he could gain some medical insights, he’d be happy.
“Then I’ll be leaving. Remember to come to me for acupuncture tomorrow morning.”
After meeting Lu Qing, Old Doctor Chen prepared to leave.
The herbs collected today needed to be dried promptly, otherwise they wouldn’t be ready for the preparations for the noble man.
“Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Zhang, wait a minute!”
Seeing the two old men were about to leave, Lu Qing quickly got up, ran into the kitchen, and filled two bowls with small fish.
“Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Zhang, I caught these fish this morning. If you don’t mind, take some back to try.”
Grandpa Zhang looked at the two bowls of small fish, “I just came back and heard that everyone in the village was talking about your fishing. Lu Qing, is this method of fishing with earthworms something your father left you?”
“Yes, my father mentioned it to me before.”
Lu Qing was already very familiar with this excuse.
“You… are confused!” Unexpectedly, when Grandpa Zhang heard this, he was a little distressed, “Since it is a method your father left you, you should have kept it a secret. How could you tell everyone in the village all at once? If they all go fishing and catch all the fish in the river, what will you and Xiaoyan eat in the future?”
“It’s okay, Grandpa Zhang. I’m here. Xiaoyan won’t starve,” Lu Qing said nonchalantly.
Fishing is far from simple. If all they knew was bait, they could easily catch fish, then there wouldn’t have been so many “airmen” in their past lives.
Furthermore, he was well aware of nature’s resilience.
Relying solely on wild fishing, it would be impossible to catch all the fish in the river.
But how could Grandpa Zhang possibly know all this?
Seeing Lu Qing’s nonchalant expression, he was immediately furious, but helpless.
Finally, he could only sigh, “You’ll understand when you suffer the consequences later.”
Old Doctor Chen, standing nearby, remained silent.
To him, these were mere trifles, not worth his attention.
Instead, he felt a certain satisfaction at the fish Lu Qing had brought out.
He was aware of the Lu family’s current situation.
This little fish was probably all Lu Qing had to offer, perhaps even enough for him and his sister for the next few days.
Yet, he offered it generously.
This showed that Lu Qing was a grateful child.
No one could dislike such a young man.
Therefore, Dr. Chen didn’t refuse Lu Qing’s thank-you gift.
Even Grandpa Zhang, wanting to make Lu Qing feel a little distressed, deliberately took the other bowl of fish.
After seeing the two elderly people out and watching them walk away, Lu Qing returned to the house.
After confirming that no one was nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding.
What had just happened in the house seemed ordinary, but he felt his heart in his throat several times.
On the one hand, he was afraid of revealing that he was not the original owner.
On the other hand, he was shocked by the information revealed by Dr. Chen.
Fortunately, the concept of soul fusion and rebirth was too mysterious, and no one would think of it that way.
In addition, he possessed the memories of the original owner, and despite deliberately concealing it, he managed to maintain his composure and not reveal the truth.
After passing this test, his identity was more secure. He
believed that after some time, even if his personality changed, no one would suspect that he was not the original Lu Qing.
After all, young people have always had a lively personality. He had also experienced the great changes of losing his parents and had been through the gates of hell. It was normal for his personality to change.
So the sudden visit of Old Doctor Chen and Grandpa Zhang, although Lu Qing was a little caught off guard,
also gave him an opportunity.
The information revealed by Old Doctor Chen made Lu Qing realize that his previous guess about this world might be wrong.
He originally thought that he was in a world similar to ancient China.
The people living in this world were just ordinary people like him.
But just now, he actually saw information beyond common sense from the old doctor.
Cultivation, Qi training, realm… These are things that can only be found in those martial arts and mysterious worlds where people can fly high and fast, come and go like the wind, and possess extraordinary powers.
Could it be that the world he traveled to was actually such a world?
Lu Qing’s mood suddenly became complicated.
There was panic, confusion, and expectation.
