However, Qi Banxian suddenly leaned in front of Ke Meiyu and let out a puzzled "Eh?"
Ke Meiyu touched her face, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong? Did you see something in me?"
She was a little nervous because as she lived in this life, more and more uncontrollable things were happening.
Ke Meiyu has come to believe in ghosts and supernatural powers, and she is terrified that he will discover that she has been resurrected in another body. How will she face her family if he does that?
Seeing that Qi Banxian didn't speak, she couldn't help but ask, "I've heard from others that you're quite capable, and your face readings are always accurate. Could it be that I'm destined for great fortune?"
Qi Banxian shook his head with a smile: "It's just some superficial knowledge. That family was very wary of me. At first, they were able to teach me some real skills, but later they discovered that I had good talent and could learn anything quickly, much better than the other two in the family. They were afraid that I would surpass them, so they stopped teaching me anything."
“There are many things I learned secretly,” he said, handing over a book of grid paper for elementary school students.
When Ke Meiyu opened it, she saw that it contained materials that he had meticulously copied and organized with an extremely finely sharpened pencil. Both sides were covered with dense writing. Because he had looked at it so many times, the paper had become rough at the edges, and some parts had even been worn away due to the weight.
"Impressive! I admire people with your resilience the most," Ke Meiyu said, still carrying the habits of people from later generations, praising people without hesitation.
Qi Banxian blushed and said in a low voice, "I had no choice but to do this. When you're under someone else's roof, you have to be extra careful."
He gently stroked the little sable Mingming's head. "It's quite capable. If it were in the ancient world, it would be a treasure-hunting expert. The Qi family has hidden their inherited ancient books in great secrecy, setting up one array after another, and many parts are deliberately mysterious, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood."
"But it still managed to bypass those traps and formations, steal a book for me, and after I copied a few pages, it returned it."
"I have read five books in the past two years. They are all very basic things, but the more basic the things are, the more changes they can bring about once they are mastered."
Some items related to the Qi family's legacy were placed in a heavy black iron box, fixed to Old Man Qi's roof, so that he could see it as soon as he looked up.
There was also a vulture guarding the area, which was being fed by the Qi family using secret methods, but he hadn't had a chance to touch it yet.
I don't know what's wrong with him tonight. Maybe he's suddenly relaxed and desperately needs someone to talk to.
"That's how I learned many of my skills." At this point, Qi Banxian laughed: "Actually, face reading is sometimes accurate and sometimes not. It's just a saying that people often say: if you believe it, it's true; if you don't believe it, it's not."
He made Ke Meiyu hold out her hand, and then stared at her for a long time in the dim light.
"Comrade Ke has a bright red mole between his eyebrows. This mole is rather long and located off-center between his eyebrows, just like life being cut in half, representing two completely different sides of yin and yang."
"Comrade Ke's hand lines, whether it's his career line, marriage line, or life line, all have a section that is slightly off-center. This is a very rare type. According to books, such people are destined to survive great calamities and have good fortune in the future."
"It seems you've overcome this hurdle; from now on, your life will be smooth sailing and your prospects will improve steadily."
Ke Meiyu smiled, but inwardly she felt a chill. She was afraid that fortune-telling would apply to her, because it was always accurate!
“But,” he held out his wrist, which had a mole, but when he turned his hand over, there was another mole on the back of his hand in the same spot, which was the same in color, size and shape.
Coincidentally, Ko Mei-yu also has a pair of moles on her hands that are back to back.
"According to the physiognomy book, this is called a raccoon dog mole or a twin mole. Comrade Ke, have you heard of the story of the raccoon dog replacing the crown prince?" Qi Banxian asked, pointing to the mole on his wrist.
Ke Meiyu nodded curiously, "I've heard of it. What's the connection?"
“A leopard's mark signifies adoption, and I am the one who was replaced. However, Comrade Ke is very fortunate. Your family treats you sincerely, so they should not have any concerns in this regard.”
Ke Meiyu was stunned, and looked down at the two moles on her wrist.
It shouldn't count, right?
She thought about how the Ke family truly doted on her from the bottom of their hearts. Would they have been willing to spend so much on someone who wasn't their own child? And for eighteen or nineteen years, they had never once shown any sign of anything amiss.
She nodded, "Moles are just accumulations of melanin. The child didn't have any moles when he was born; they appeared later. It can only be used as a reference."
After chatting for a while, Ke Meiyu began to instruct Qi Banxian to use a small knife to train against the radish rubber.
She has collected data on everyone in the family, knowing exactly how deep the incision should be made for each person and where the incision should be made.
So she worked with Qi Banxian to figure out how to use the length of the blade to indicate depth and the width of her palm and fingers to measure position.
Then Qi Banxian got used to the feeling of the knife cutting into his skin and practiced using a hook to pull out the Gu.
It was a minor surgery, and the two of them had already worked together quite well in just one night. Moreover, Qi Banxian was used to drawing talismans, copying books, and processing medicinal materials, so his fingers were nimble and he could easily grasp the essentials.
They agreed to remove the Gu worms from the Ji family tomorrow!
As she was leaving, Ke Meiyu saw the little ferret still reaching out its paws for food and couldn't help but smile as she flicked a spirit beast pill at it.
She was never an anonymous hero, so she spoke directly to Qi Banxian:
"This is a spirit beast pill, and each one used is one less available. It's too cheap for this little thing, and it might not feel very comfortable later. But after it absorbs the effects of the medicine, its lifespan will double, and there might even be a small chance that it will awaken a special ability."
