Ruan Shu was easily coaxed.
In the end, I got a lot of small snacks, the kind that can be eaten at any time.
In the afternoon, she went to find Shen Xiuzhu.
"teacher."
The little guy stood in front of a bamboo house, stood on tiptoes and stretched his little neck to shout inside.
Her voice was not loud, even if she shouted with great strength, it was still like a little kitten.
But the people inside still came out.
Shen Xiuzhu was wearing loose casual clothes, bamboo green, with his hair tied into a braid at the back, and slippers on his feet, which meant that despite his good looks, he looked a bit lazy and decadent.
If you don't look good, you are sloppy.
"coming."
Shen Xiuzhu had a paralyzed face, but his eyes still lit up when he saw Ruan Shu.
He waved: "Come here."
Ruan Shu walked up carrying her little skirt and was taken into the bamboo house by him.
After walking in, we arrived at a courtyard where many medicinal materials were dried. The courtyard was also filled with the smell of herbs, both bitter and fragrant.
The technology of processing Chinese herbal medicines and making Chinese herbal medicines for alchemy has basically been lost outside.
Shen Xiuzhu held the little guy's hand and when he saw her eyes falling on the herbs, a slightly stiff and imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Many of the plants here are not mutated plants. A long time ago, the traditional Chinese medicine technology was inherited on a planet called Blue Star, but it has been lost now."
Ruan Shu looked up at him: "Why? Teacher, don't you know how to do it?"
Shen Xiuzhu shook his head: "Many things on Blue Star have been lost. It is a planet with a very splendid culture and civilization. However, humans lost a lot of books and culture when they migrated. When they arrived in the universe, they encountered them one after another. During that calamity, there were fewer things left behind, and many were incomplete. As for me, I got this knowledge from the inherited skills."
He smiled and said: "The effects of Chinese herbal medicine from these ordinary plants are not as immediate as those from mutant plants, and they are quite troublesome to prepare and use, so no one wants to learn them."
Ruan Shu held his hand tightly: "I want to study, is that okay?"
She raised her head and said seriously: "I want to learn this."
Shen Xiuzhu was slightly surprised, then squatted down and touched her head: "Okay, then I will teach you from now on. It shouldn't be difficult if you have a photographic memory."
Then Ruan Shu followed him into a room and watched him take out one, two, three books from the bookshelf...
A total of ten books, thicker than dictionaries and several times larger than the plate on Ruan Shu's face, were placed on the table.
"The content above is what I transcribed based on my inherited memory. This is a comprehensive collection of various Chinese herbal medicines. It details the characteristics of each herbal medicine, the habits of its growing environment and the picking methods."
"This is a method of cultivating herbal medicine. This is a method of processing various herbal medicines. The processing of each herbal medicine will have some subtle differences, such as the best picking time, the best processing time and processing techniques, etc. This book is Various prescriptions..."
Ruan Shu looked at the thick books, which were almost taller than herself when stacked, and she... she felt a little bit of regret.
This is too much!
Although she likes reading, she also feels what is called a numb scalp at this moment.
Ruan Shu asked tremblingly: "How long have you been writing?"
Shen Xiuzhu tilted his head slightly: "It didn't take long, just a few hundred years. I also derived a lot of herbal medicines, and many mutated plants were recorded by me. Some herbs are poisonous. Please be careful about the smell." No wonder it doesn’t taste good.”
Ruan Shu:…………
Can I watch it for hundreds of years? Will I survive until then?
And...you tasted the poison yourself?
Is it a miracle that you are still alive or is your body just too resistant?
Ruan Shu didn't even know what expression she should look at him with.
But...just read a book.
Thanks to her good hobby of reading in her previous life, Ruan Shu could read quite fast. She could not read ten lines at a time, but her current speed was no problem at reading four or five lines at a time.
Coupled with her photographic memory, she quickly became immersed in it.
Shen Xiuzhu watched her turn one page at a time, then went to work on his own without disturbing her.
I don't know how long time passed, but with the sound of an explosion, Ruan Shu came back to her senses from the world in the book, and was frightened by the sound of the explosion and burped.
If she were a cat now, all the hair on her body would stand on end.
What...what's wrong!
The little girl's eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly opened and she looked outside.
Only then did she realize that it was getting close to night.
And there was a lot of smoke not far away.
She put down her book and ran out quickly.
As soon as she reached the door, the pink girl came bounding over and jumped directly into her arms.
"Let's go take a look."
She always felt that something had happened to the teacher over there.
After trotting over, in the room where thick smoke was coming out, Shen Xiuzhu walked out in pitch black.
Seeing Ruan Shu looking at him with wide round eyes, his stiff expression showed a little bit of embarrassment and sarcasm.
"I accidentally blew up the furnace."
Ruan Shu: "???"
Shen Xiuzhu was very used to it, so he spoke calmly after a moment of embarrassment.
"This is a common thing. Because the heat is too high, some medicinal properties will collide with each other, and some violent reactions will occur during the refining process, so an explosion like that will occur."
Ruan Shu seemed to understand, but then her expression became stiff when she thought of something.
"Then, what if I..."
If she learns this, she won't blow herself up.
She doesn't have that thick skin.
Shen Xiuzhu had obviously thought of this, and his expression became even stiffer.
"How about we try to make some protective clothing?"
If it doesn't work, it's still very dangerous: "Then you can't wear a protective shield every time, right? It's not easy to operate."
Ruan Shu: Is alchemy so dangerous?
All the children, one big and one small, began to worry. They drooped their heads and sighed.
Shen Xiuzhu is a typical scientific researcher. Apart from being energetic when facing various herbal medicines and pills, he starts pulling his hair when he thinks about other problems.
He was originally dark, but now he looks more like a beggar with his fried hair.
Ruan Shu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Teacher, you'd better go wash your face and tidy up first."
Shen Xiuzhu glanced at his black claws, was silent for a moment, turned around and rushed out.
I have forgotten how I look now. I won’t leave a bad impression on the cubs, right?
After Shen Xiuzhu tidied himself up, the sky had darkened, and Shen Rushu came to pick up Zai'er.
"Let's go home and eat. We can only take pills here in Shen Xiuzhu!"
Shen Xiuzhu defended himself aggrievedly.
"I have sugar, and my medicine tastes delicious."
That can’t really be eaten as candy!
