After a busy period, life gradually became more leisurely.
Su Xiao has been here for more than five months and has earned more than 120 work points, which is quite good.
Xiaheshan Village is considered a wealthy village, and this year's harvest is also very good. Su Xiao exchanged all his work points for grain, with more refined grains and less coarse grains, which is more than enough to eat.
With some free time, the old man started to focus on her studies.
Su Xiaoyuan was not stupid, and his memory had become even better after his rebirth. He could basically memorize a medical book after reading it three times, and after reading it three more times, he could recite it from memory, if not backwards, but by randomly picking a sentence and continuing from there.
With the mindset of finishing her studies early so she could rest early and explore the mountains more, she approached the exam with the same intensity as if she were taking the college entrance exam.
Old Man Hua didn't know at first, until he saw her leading several children into the mountains every few days, and he couldn't help but frown.
How come you have so much free time every day?
So, deliberately making things difficult, "Have you finished memorizing the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica that I asked you to memorize last time?"
Last time he went home, Grandpa Hua had Grandma Hua give Su Xiao her family's collection of books. Su Xiao then used her spatial ability to bring a sack of books over, and got the proper recognition from Grandpa Hua.
"I've finished memorizing it," Su Xiao said with a smile. She had a very fruitful trip to the mountains these past few days and was in a great mood, so she answered without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Hua's eyes widened in disbelief. That was the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, a three-volume work recording 365 medicinal herbs. She'd only been memorizing it for a few days? Could she really have memorized it all?
Su Xiao suddenly noticed that Old Man Hua's gaze was strange, and a chill ran down her spine. "W-what's wrong, Master?"
"Bring me the book, I'm going to test you," the old man said seriously, his expression hardening.
"Oh." Su Xiao hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, nor did she think too much about it. They had caught two pheasants in the mountains today. Su Xiao gave one of the smaller ones to Cao Bing, asking him to take Huang Feiyan back and process it first, while she would cook it when she returned. The other one was given to Granny Cai, to be an extra dish for them tonight.
She took three scrolls from her bag and went to find Old Man Hua, thinking she needed to finish the quiz quickly so she could go back and cook dinner. Three ways to cook chicken? Boiled chicken, spicy chicken, and chicken soup with wild mushrooms…
Old Man Hua was somewhat surprised to see Su Xiao come in with books. "Do you always carry your books with you?"
Su Xiao was taken aback by the question, then smiled and said, "Yes, I've been carrying it with me these days, so I can look at it anytime I have time."
Old Man Hua nodded, quite satisfied with her learning attitude. He also had a good understanding of her ability to quickly memorize books. Such diligence was truly rare.
He then checked her memorization, which was naturally excellent.
This delighted Old Man Hua, who became even stricter with her and had even higher expectations for her.
After all, it would be his fault if such a talented and diligent student failed to succeed under his tutelage.
Su Xiao was frustrated. She just wanted to finish her studies as soon as possible so she could go play in the mountains, but Old Man Hua was assigning more and more homework, and it was getting more and more difficult. It seemed like he wanted to cram all the knowledge directly into her head.
The baby is suffering inside, but has no way to express it.
Alas, he brought this upon himself; he deserves it.
Su Xiao immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge day after day, and there was no stopping her.
After half a year, she finally thoroughly studied and mastered the ten fever-reducing formulas.
The pharmacopoeia's legacy has been reopened, and the next page has been opened, featuring a formula for a bone-regenerating ointment, along with case studies.
