Chapter 57: Doing Bad Things in the Middle of the Night
Although Chu Yue saw through his thoughts at a glance, Lu Yuanbao was not panicked. He looked up with a pair of bright black eyes.
Lu Yuanbao said loudly, "I want to go with you tomorrow."
Chu Yue asked with a smile, "Where am I going tomorrow? Did I tell you that you have to go with me? Maybe I'll just sleep at home tomorrow?"
Lu Yuanbao was not shaken by Chu Yue's words. His face was firm and serious as he insisted, "I know. You are going to the mountains to pick chestnuts tomorrow, and I want to go with you."
He was afraid that Chu Yue would look down on him for being young, so he continued without hesitation.
"Don't look down on me because I'm small. I'm actually very strong. You know, I can till the soil, I can hold a hoe, I can walk on mountain roads, I can take care of myself, and I won't be a burden to you."
Perhaps because he was really afraid that Chu Yue would refuse, Lu Yuanbao spoke faster and faster, and was very anxious.
Chu Yue picked up the chestnuts that Lu Yuanbao had peeled and stuffed them into his anxious mouth.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Lu Yuanbao's face lit up instantly. "Mmmmm—really?"
"Really. Just enjoy your chestnuts and don't peel them for me."
Chu Yue touched Lu Yuanbao's head to reassure him.
The longer they were together, the more Chu Yue understood Lu Yuanbao's character. This child was smart and sensitive, and was especially afraid of being abandoned. Every time Chu Yue went out alone, he always looked uneasy.
Now with Chu Yue's assurance, Lu Yuanbao ate the hot, fragrant and soft chestnuts, his eyes narrowed with joy.
He kept talking, "Not only can I walk on mountain roads, I can also climb trees and take bird eggs... Other children in the village can only shoot birds with slingshots, but I am different. I can climb very high... I can also collect firewood and carry it on my back..."
Lu Yuanbao didn't say another thing. It was not that he didn't want to use a slingshot, but because other children had slingshots, but he didn't.
He was trying to let Chu Yue know that he was a useful child.
In this way, Chu Yue’s milk, wedding candy, and malted milk are worth it.
…
That night, Lu Zhanlin did not come back. Chu Yue did not find it strange. She had a simple but hearty dinner with Lu Yuanbao. Then she cleaned the stove while Lu Yuanbao squatted beside the basin to wash the dishes. He would even tiptoe to put the washed dishes on the rack.
Chu Yue poured half hot water and half cold water into the enamel cup, put the toothpaste soaked in tooth powder in it, and reminded Lu Yuanbao to brush his teeth and wash his face before going to bed.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yue returned to the room.
She sat at the only desk in the room, with a notebook and a pen, and began to scribble on the book.
Chu Yue remembered the agreement between her and Pei Hanchuan that she would deliver the prescription a week later.
What she is drawing now is...a prescription!
After a while.
There were light footsteps outside the room. The footsteps finally stopped at the door and did not come in directly.
Chu Yue turned the tip of her pen several times, and after a circle appeared on the notebook, she stopped writing and turned around to look.
At a glance, he saw Lu Yuanbao standing by the door, holding a pillow and hesitant.
Lu Yuanbao met Chu Yue's gaze, his face stubborn and embarrassed.
I talked about how capable he was as a kid for so long in the afternoon, but in the evening he came over with a pillow in his arms.
He pursed his lips and said softly, "Can I sleep with you?"
After all, he is still a child.
Chu Yue waved towards Lu Yuanbao, "Come in, have you washed your hands and feet?"
"Washed!"
Lu Yuanbao answered excitedly and loudly.
He rushed into the house, climbed onto the bed in a few seconds, placed the pillow he brought next to Chu Yue, patted it with his hand, and put it neatly together.
It's just a little far, it's better to get closer.
Lu Yuanbao moved his pillow to the side and rested it tightly against Chu Yue's pillow.
Now I feel relieved.
After adjusting the pillow, Lu Yuanbao moved from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, kneeling on the bed with his knees, and lying on the desk. He just saw Chu Yue scribbling on the notebook, and then frowned.
Is this... drawing a little man?
Chu Yue was not writing or counting, but drawing one little man after another on the neat and clean paper.
Each little figure is lifelike, with a round head, small limbs, and different movements.
At first glance, each little man looks like Lu Yuanbao.
Lu Yuanbao didn't make any noise to disturb Chu Yue, but just watched with his head tilted. He didn't really understand, but he was watching with great interest.
After Chu Yue finished drawing a row of little figures, she stopped to rest for a while and turned her wrist.
Lu Yuanbao finally spoke, pointing his little finger at the little man, then at himself, "Is this little man me?"
"I guess so."
Chu Yue answered vaguely, because she didn't pay attention when she started drawing, and the painting unknowingly looked like Lu Yuanbao.
Lu Yuanbao was very happy about this. He looked at the little man, then stood on the bed, moved his limbs, and made the posture of a little man.
Chu Yue saw his movements and warned him.
"Spread your legs, raise your left hand a little higher, and stretch your right hand straight... Yes, very good, squat down, relax your body, and maintain this position... Take a deep breath, inhale slowly, and then exhale slowly... Very good."
The posture Lu Yuanbao strikes is the second move of the Eight-Section Brocade, where he draws his bows left and right, like shooting an eagle. (Image)
This is also the prescription Chu Yue drew in her notebook - "Eight-Section Brocade".
She took Pei Tianci's pulse and found that the child had no serious illness, but was weak from birth. There must be no shortage of medicine and food supplements in the Pei family. It was obvious that the child had a poor foundation and his body's absorption ability was not good.
So instead of continuing to take medicine, it is better to improve your physical foundation first.
Chu Yue is now drawing the eight movements of "Eight-Section Brocade" and will continue to draw "Five Animal Exercises" later.
"Five Animal Exercises" is a fitness exercise created by Hua Tuo that imitates the activities of animals (tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and bird (crane)). Each move has a good training effect on the body and the five internal organs. Even the elderly and children can practice it every day to strengthen their bodies.
Over thousands of years of history, "Five Animal Exercises" has almost been lost, and the versions that have been circulated are inaccurate. Only the version in Chu Yue's hands is the most authentic.
Because the "Five Animal Exercises" in her hand is a medical book that is randomly dropped when the spiritual treasure space is upgraded.
The Medical Treasure Book contains not only Eight-Section Brocade and Five Animal Exercises, but also many secret manuals of ancient Chinese medicine. Chu Yue learned medical skills by self-study from it.
After nightfall.
Lu Yuanbao learned Eight-Section Brocade for a while, watched Chu Yue draw little figures for a while, and then fell asleep in a daze.
Chu Yue took care of him, covered him with a quilt, and continued to draw the little man until midnight.
She stood up and stretched her body, then turned off the lights in the room, not to sleep, but to go out!
The middle of the night is the best time to do bad things!
