Chapter 38 Assessment (Please read on Tuesday)
"Grandpa Chen, you said I don’t need to read the Baicao Jing anymore?" Lu Qing was a little surprised.
"Yes, your learning speed is faster than I expected. You have already read the "Hundred Herbs Classic" familiarly. You can just review it more in the future. There is no need to study it specifically."
Old doctor Chen said, stroking his beard.
During this period of time, he was extremely satisfied with Lu Qing's performance.
Lu Qing's intelligence exceeded his expectations.
In just half a month, I have already learned the entire book "Baicao Jing".
Originally, he thought that if Lu Qing could read the "Baicao Jing" fluently within a month, it would be very good.
"Grandpa Chen taught me well."
Lu Qing felt much more relaxed.
Finally there is no need to study the "Baicao Jing" anymore!
God knows how thoroughly he has read the "Baicao Jing" during this period.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I know it by heart.
But he couldn't show that he had memorized the "Baicao Jing" all at once.
Even if you want to show your intelligence, you have to go through a process of acceptance.
Otherwise, if you show how evil you are at the beginning, it may be self-defeating.
Now, we have finally waited for this moment.
“Lu Qing, although you are smarter than I expected, the assessment as promised before must still be carried out,” Old Doctor Chen said.
"Lu Qing understands, please ask Grandpa Chen to conduct the assessment." Lu Qing said respectfully.
"You are already familiar with the "Baicao Jing", but it is not enough to memorize the medicinal book. It must be combined with the actual situation to truly understand it."
"My assessment is very simple, that is, you are limited to finding ten kinds of medicines recorded in the "Baicao Jing" near the village within one hour. "Remember, you can't go looking for it with a book, and you can't pick the wrong ones, and you can't damage the herbs on the way to collect them."
Lu Qing silently remembered what the old doctor said, and after he finished speaking, he said, "Is that all, Grandpa Chen?"
"Yes, that's it. If you do these things, I will officially accept you into my family and become my first disciple and my only disciple."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!" Lu Qing said with confidence.
"Take this medicine basket and medicine hoe, remember, you only have one hour. If you exceed the time limit, even if you collect enough medicinal materials, you will not be qualified."
The old doctor took out two tools for Lu Qing.
"Then I'll set off now!"
Lu Qing took the medicine basket and medicine hoe and went straight down the mountain.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he found a medicinal herb.
【Legend grass: of high quality and can be used medicinally. 】
【Clears away heat and detoxifies, and is quite effective in treating qi-heat and cough. 】
This triproot grass is recorded in the "Baicao Jing".
Seeing that the superpower showed that it was of high quality, Lu Qing immediately bent down and started digging.
The medicinal hoe given by the old doctor was quite sharp, so Lu Qing dug carefully, for fear of accidentally digging up the medicinal herbs.
After all, one of the assessment contents given by the old doctor is not to damage the medicinal herbs.
Digging up the Thunderroot carefully and putting it into the medicine basket, Lu Qing thought about it for a while, and suddenly his heart tightened.
It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to dig just such a plant of red root.
According to this calculation, wouldn’t it take ten and a quarter of hours to dig out ten herbs?
The old doctor only gave him one hour for the assessment.
"We can't be so slow, we have to speed up."
Originally, Lu Qing thought that he had special powers, and it was not easy to find ten medicinal herbs.
But now he knows that if he is careless, he may fail the test.
Putting away his relaxed attitude, Lu Qing began to speed up and rush to other places.
· Along the way, his eyes kept searching the grass on both sides of the road.
As long as you see a plant that is similar to the one in the "Hundred Herbs", you will immediately use your powers to search for information.
After confirming that it was a medicinal material recorded in the "Baicao Jing", we immediately excavated it.
Dandelions, cockleburs, plantains...
Each of the herbs recorded in the "Baicao Jing" was dug out by Lu Qing one by one and put into the medicine basket.
In order to dig up the herbs, his forehead was covered with sweat. When he wiped it casually, there were only a few mud marks.
Some villagers passing by laughed when they saw Lu Qing like this.
"Ah Qing, what are you doing? You're making yourself look like a mud monkey."
"Uncle Wang, I'm digging for herbs. This is a task assigned by Grandpa Chen. I don't dare to be careless." Lu Qing replied.
"This is a task assigned by the old doctor. You have to be serious about it. Do you need my help?"
Uncle Wang's expression suddenly became serious.
The respect the villagers have for the old doctor comes from the bottom of their hearts.
When I heard that it was the task assigned to me, I didn’t dare to laugh.
"No, no, no, I can only do this by myself. It is Grandpa Chen's assessment of my learning achievements during this period."
Lu Qing waved his hand to refuse.
"That's it, then Ah Qing, you have to work hard, don't let the old doctor down."
Hearing what Lu Qing said, Uncle Wang's expression became more solemn.
After all, whether Lu Qing can learn well is also related to the future medical treatment in the village.
"Okay, I will work hard." Lu Qing waved his hand, "Uncle Wang, I'm leaving first. Grandpa Chen only gave me an hour for the assessment. I still have to go over there to dig herbs."
Looking at Lu Qing's leaving figure, Uncle Wang immediately ran to the village.
It didn't take long before almost everyone in the village knew that Lu Qing was completing the assessment tasks assigned by the old doctor.
As a result, even if everyone saw Lu Qing, they would not dare to disturb him at all.
I am afraid that he will not be able to complete the old doctor's assessment and will be driven down the mountain.
Even the little kids were ordered not to get close to Lu Qing, so as not to disturb him in collecting medicine.
Lu Qing, who was concentrating on collecting herbs, did not notice these actions of the villagers.
He was just wondering why the village seemed much quieter than usual today.
Usually when this time comes, the little kids will run around like crazy and won’t stop until they make a fuss.
However, this idea only flashed through Lu Qing's mind for a moment and was forgotten by him.
Now he has no time to think about these things.
He has already dug up eight herbs, two more to go, but most of the time has passed.
If we don't hurry up, this assessment may really be in doubt.
At this time, Lu Qing also felt a little regretful.
On weekdays, I don’t pay much attention to the herbs near the village, otherwise, I wouldn’t be so busy with time.
It seems that sometimes relying too much on supernatural powers is not a good thing.
Didn't he just think that he had special powers anyway, so he could look for herbs at any time, so he was negligent.
Happily, Lu Qing was lucky, and soon he found another herb recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Classic".
"There is only the last one left."
After digging up the herb completely, Lu Qing exhaled.
But he also knew that time was running out.
"Where can I find the last herb?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment, and suddenly, he slapped himself on the head.
"Yes, how could I forget it? It's really dark under the lamp, but I almost ignored the most familiar thing!"
After saying that, he ran away to his home.
Some villagers were startled when they saw Lu Qing running.
"Aqing, what's wrong, is there something wrong with the assessment?"
"It's okay, there is no problem with my assessment!"
Lu Qing didn't have time to think about why the villagers knew about his assessment, so he answered casually as he ran.
Soon, he ran to his home, and looked at the small patch of well-growing plants in the corner of the yard with a smile.
