Chapter 21 Goodbye, Old Doctor Chen (please collect it for further reading)
This night, Lu Qing slept so soundly that he didn’t even dream.
Xiaoyan did not wake up in the middle of the night like usual, shouting for him to comfort her.
Both brother and sister had a good sleep.
Even though Lu Qing slept too deeply, it was Xiaoyan who called him up in the morning.
Happily, Lu Qing helped Xiaoyan put on her coat, brushed her teeth and washed her face. Lu Qing then tied her hair into two small tweeds. Then she started to wash herself.
Using a wicker brush to clean his teeth, Lu Qing's eyes had no focus and fell on the house casually.
After browsing for a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and his eyes gradually became focused.
Stepping forward, looking at the two empty bamboo strips rings on the bamboo pole, his eyes gradually widened.
Good guy, what kind of wicked guy stole two big pieces of fish from him?
People from the village?
Lu Qing immediately came up with this idea.
But soon, he denied it again.
Although no one in the village is rich now, no one is so poor that he would steal two pieces of fish.
Yesterday he wanted to treat everyone to fish, but everyone declined.
And if you really want to steal, wouldn't it be better to steal them all in one pot, why only steal two pieces.
What's more important, he found that there was still some fish meat left on the two bamboo strips.
Obviously, the two pieces of fish meat were forcefully dragged away.
Which thief would make such a big fuss while stealing something? I'm afraid he won't alarm anyone.
Unfortunately, he was so sleepy last night that he didn't notice the movement outside the house.
Lu Qing searched the area carefully, and finally he found several mud marks on the wall that were shaped like plum blossoms.
There are several small holes on each mark.
Even on the ground, some similar marks were found.
He looked at these mud marks quietly.
Soon, I saw a faint white light coming from above.
White light?
Lu Qing was slightly startled.
Hurryly looked at the two notes that appeared.

【Look at the small holes in the footprints, this is a guy with sharp claws. 】
Looking at the descriptions in the two notes, a scene instantly emerged in Lu Qing's mind.
A mysterious and light unknown little beast kicked off its feet, used its strength on the wall, pounced on the fish on the bamboo pole, and tore it off.
What should it be, a cat?
Say, are there cats in this world?
A question came to Lu Qing's mind.
In any case, he had never seen anyone keeping a cat in the village.
However, since we are sure that no one is here to steal things, that’s fine.
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
If a villager comes to steal something, that is not good news for him.
Fortunately, it is just a wild beast, and judging from its footprints, it is not very big.
The village he was in, not far behind the village, were mountains. It was normal for wild animals to run down from time to time.
It’s just that I have to be more careful to close the doors and windows when sleeping in the future.
Otherwise, it would be bad if some wild beast sneaks in in the middle of the night and hurts Xiaoyan.
After figuring out what was going on, Lu Qing didn't care much.
The key is that he has no way to compete with a wild beast. He can only put his things away after nightfall.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
After a while, he walked out with a happy face.
Fortunately, last night he raised the red moon carp in a wooden basin and put it in the kitchen.
In order to prevent the fish from jumping out, the wooden basin was tightly covered with wooden boards and stones.
Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that the beast will not take it away.
After such an episode, Lu Qing also completely woke up.
He did not tell Xiaoyan about this, but just made breakfast. After the brother and sister had eaten, they carried the red moon carp in a wooden bucket and walked towards the hillside where old doctor Chen lived.
This time, Lu Qing deliberately delayed his visit to Dr. Chen.
Because he is afraid that if he goes early and encounters an old doctor practicing boxing, he will not be able to help but use his powers to imitate their skills.
The old doctor is so kind to the brothers and sisters, but he cannot do such ungrateful things.
So I simply rejected this possibility and avoided testing my moral bottom line.
Lu Qing's strategy is still very effective.
When he and Xiaoyan arrived at the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, they happened to see old doctor Chen slowly withdrawing his strength there. He had obviously just finished practicing boxing.
"Grandpa Chen, we are here to see you!"
Xiaoyan ran forward very happily when she saw the old doctor.
"Hey, Xiaoyan is here!"
Old doctor Chen saw Xiaoyan running over and picked her up, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"Good morning, Grandpa Chen." Lu Qing also stepped forward to salute and say hello.
"Come on, why are you here later than last time?" Old Doctor Chen asked.
“Because my brother stayed in bed!” Xiaoyan giggled, “It was Xiaoyan who woke him up in the morning!”
Lu Qing blushed: "Yesterday I went to the river to fish all morning. I was a little tired, so I slept a little deeper."
"It's better to sleep more." Old Doctor Chen nodded, "You are just growing up, so adequate rest is still necessary."
The old doctor looked at Lu Qing and Xiaoyan's complexions. They were much better than they had been a few days ago.
I know that they must have had a good life these days, and I feel quite satisfied.
"Grandpa Chen, my brother and I went fishing yesterday, and my brother caught such a big fish!"
At this time, Xiaoyan began to show off to the old doctor.
“Oh, how big is it?” Old Doctor Chen said with a smile.
"So big, so big, as big as Xiaoyan!" The little guy gestured vigorously.
"So big?" Old Doctor Chen was a little surprised.
He thought that the big fish Xiaoyan mentioned was only two or three kilograms at most. If it was really like what she said, it would be much more.
“Hmm, that big fish is not only delicious, but also has very beautiful stones on it. My brother made it into a pendant and gave it to Xiaoyan. Grandpa Chen, look, this is it. Isn’t it beautiful?”
"Is this... a green turtle stone?"
The old doctor was even more surprised when he saw the pendant around Xiaoyan's neck clearly.
Hearing what he said, Lu Qing's heart moved.
h also pretended to be surprised: "Grandpa Chen, do you know what this stone is?"
h "Why, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Lu Qing shook his head, "When I was killing the big fish, I found this stone in its throat. Seeing that it looked good, I made it into a pendant for Xiaoyan to wear."
"The big fish you caught should be a green turtle, and it's an old fish that has been growing for a long time."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to produce such a good-looking fish stone. "
"This green turtle stone, once turned into jade, will have a rather miraculous function, which can soothe the mind. At the same time, it is also a rare medicinal material. Its powder and water can calm children's frightened children."
"By the way, where did you catch this green turtle?"
