Chapter 2 Superpowers
"Hey, don't run!"
In the small courtyard surrounded by a simple wooden fence, Xiaoyan was running with her short legs, chasing a butterfly.
Lu Qing was sitting on a stone pier, looking at a plant with small red flowers in his hand.
At this moment, in his field of vision, the plant with small red flowers was emitting a faint white light, with two lines of words appearing on it.
[Cow bone grass: average quality, can be used for medicinal purposes. 】
[It seems to be quite effective for bone injuries, so it may be useful when you are injured. ]
After spending some time, Lu Qing barely understood what the words in front of him meant.
To put it simply, perhaps because of time travel, he possessed a superpower.
Currently, the main manifestation of this ability is that as long as he focuses his eyes on an object, after a certain period of time, a layer of light and a simple text description will appear on the object.
And the longer you keep your gaze, the more information you will get, but this information is not infinite and seems to have some kind of standard.
Lu Qing temporarily guessed that this standard should be related to the light that appeared on the object.
No matter how long you look at the grey-glowing items, there is only one note describing them.
Items with white light have more than two description notes.
The cowbone grass in Lu Qing's hand was the only plant emitting white light that he found around the courtyard.
What is this, a game interface?
Lu Qing recalled some running games that he had occasionally played in his previous life.
After thinking for a while, he waved his hand: "Xiaoyan, come here."
"Brother, what's the matter?"
The little guy came running over happily.
"Brother, take a look at you."
Lu Qing helped the little girl remove the dry grass stuck on her head and his eyes fell on her face.
After a while, a faint white light appeared on Xiaoyan's body, and a line of words appeared above her.
【Lu Xiaoyan: A human cub, female.】
What a crappy description!
Several black lines appeared on Lu Qing's head.
But he continued to watch.
After a while, another line of words appeared.
[Poor human cub, she seems a little malnourished. ]
Lu Qing paused. He looked at the dry and yellow hair on the little guy's head and was silent.
"Brother, have you seen it?"
Xiaoyan looked up and asked innocently.
"Well, look carefully, Xiaoyan will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up."
Lu Qing rubbed the little guy's hair and said with some pity.
Xiaoyan tilted her head: "What is a beauty?"
"Haha, you'll know this when you grow up."
Hearing the little guy's innocent words, Lu Qing's mood couldn't help but improve a lot.
No matter what the future holds, the most important thing right now is to take good care of this little one who depends on you for everything.
This can be regarded as the biggest obsession left by the original owner before his death.
If he wanted to live well in this strange world, he had to rely on his inexplicable special abilities.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing picked up the oxbone grass and placed it in front of Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan, do you know what this grass is and what it is used for?"
Xiaoyan looked at the plant with blue flowers, frowned, thought hard for a while, then shook her head.
"I don't know, but Grandpa Zhang's big cow seems to like eating this kind of grass very much."
Seeing that Xiaoyan didn't know, Lu Qing also laughed. He was also confused.
Even the original owner's memory did not have any information about oxbone grass, and he actually expected a child of only a few years old to know it.
However, Xiaoyan's next sentence stunned him.
"Brother, if you want to know what this grass is, you can go ask Grandpa Chen. Grandpa Chen likes these flowers and plants the most. He also likes to use them to boil bitter water for us to drink."
When Xiaoyan said this, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her whole face wrinkled.
Grandpa Chen?
Lu Qing recalled his memory, and soon, the image of a thin old man with a kind face emerged in his mind.
Oh, it’s the old doctor respected by the villagers.
doctor?
Lu Qing's heart moved.
According to the description on the note, Oxbone Grass is undoubtedly a medicinal herb. I wonder if Dr. Chen knows how to use it.
"Xiaoyan, when my brother was sick, did Grandpa Chen come to visit?"
"Yes, you were here. Brother was sleeping the whole time. Xiaoyan called you but you didn't wake up. I was scared and kept crying. Then Grandpa Chen came and saw you. He said you were sick, maybe because of a cold. He made a bitter medicine for you and asked you to drink it. A day later, you woke up."
When Xiaoyan said this, she suddenly exclaimed: "Grandpa Chen is really amazing. My brother only drank a bowl of bitter water and he recovered!"
Lu Qing was silent.
Only he knew that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Chen did not save the boy's life.
But now he remembered that when he was unconscious, he did vaguely feel that someone had poured something into his body, which gave his cold body a hint of warmth to protect his heart and helped him get through the difficult period of consciousness integration.
Otherwise, with his frail body, it’s not certain whether he can wake up safely.
So it seems that this old doctor Chen is indeed a capable man and has done him a favor.
Lu Qing was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a gaze. He looked down and saw Xiaoyan looking at him.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyan?"
"Brother, Xiaoyan is hungry."
Lu Qing also felt hungry.
He was not full in the first place, and the half of the steamed bun he had eaten earlier had long been digested.
But he had checked earlier and found that there was no food at home.
The rice jar was so clean that even mice were unwilling to patronize it. If it weren't for the help from Grandpa Zhang next door, Xiaoyan would probably have starved to death during the two days he was in a coma.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing remembered that he should thank Grandpa Zhang and Doctor Chen. Without their care, both he and his sister might not survive.
But our family is really too poor now. We have nothing at home and cannot even give a small gift of thanks.
Let’s find a way to fill our stomach first. We can express our gratitude later.
But where to get food?
Most of the family's land was sold by the original owner and used to bury his parents.
The little that was left was of little use due to neglect.
Therefore, it is hopeless to dig for food in the fields for the time being.
Far water cannot quench a nearby fire. If they go to plant crops now, it will be too late. Before the crops grow, they will starve to death.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing walked into the room where the original owner's parents lived, searched for a while, and finally found an iron needle and some hemp thread in a small box.
The iron needle is much thicker than the embroidery needle in the previous life and looks quite tough.
Lu Qing took out the iron needle, first calcined it with fire a few times, then bent it into a hook shape with wooden chopsticks, then took out a few hemp ropes, carefully twisted them into a slightly thicker and tougher hemp rope, and then tied the iron hook tightly.
Then he cut a tough bamboo from the bamboo bush behind the house and tied the other end of the hemp rope to it.
Finally, tie a piece of dead wood to the hemp line above the iron hook to serve as a float.
A simple fishing rod was made by Lu Qing in this way.
