Chapter 154 Temporary Return 1
Chapter 154 Temporary Return 1
Is that just her being pretentious? When they were little, they would roll around on her bed every time they came. After they left, her bed was as dirty as the pickles from the pickle jar.
"Little sister, you were away for a short time this time. Did anything unexpected happen?"
Bai Jingpeng saw that Qu Haojie was sitting on his little sister's bed and nothing happened, so he sat down without any hesitation: "Yes, this time it took less than a third of the time last time."
"This time the client didn't ask for a natural death. I'll be back after the mission is completed. Don't worry, it's safe over there. I'll have the elves sort it out for you to see later."
Qu Haojie quickly reminded his younger sister: "Little sister, please call grandpa and grandma quickly. They are also waiting for your news."
The two of them did nothing that day. They either stared at their younger sister in a daze or answered calls from their family.
Qu Nannan nodded and made video calls to her grandparents and her great-grandparents respectively, repeatedly assuring them that she was fine. Only then did the old people feel relieved.
After Qu Nannan finished the video call, she felt that she must get up and move around. Although she had only been lying here for a day, she didn't know why, she always felt as if she had been lying there for a long time and her whole body was stiff.
Qu Nannan stood up and took a step, followed by her two brothers, who kept asking about what the place they were going back to was like. Qu Nannan was annoyed, why did these two talk so much?
He had no choice but to ask the elf to play the video for the two of them so that he could have some peace and quiet.
Qu Nannan made herself a cup of coffee. The aroma of the coffee spread, and her head, which had been a little groggy from being nagging, instantly became much clearer.
Qu Haojie asked while watching the video: "Little sister, do you plan to have a good rest after coming back this time, or go out to continue training?"
"I want to try other places. I won't go to Cuiyuan. It's too peaceful there and not suitable for training." This time he fought with a real master. If it weren't for the internal strength he cultivated later, he would have died countless times on the road.
The key is that she always fails to take action at the critical moment, which is not a good sign. If two people are fighting seriously, just this one second of pause can cost their lives.
"Alright, let's find a place with a higher risk factor than Jade Garden and try it out. I just canceled all my recent schedules, so your cousin will accompany you wherever you want to go."
Bai Jingpeng was unwilling to fall behind: "It just so happens that I am also on vacation, and my little cousin will accompany you too."
Qu Nannan didn't object, but the point was that it was useless to object. If she wanted to go out and gain experience on her own, her family wouldn't agree. It would be better for her to take her younger cousin with her, after all, they were close in age and could understand each other's ideas better.
"Didn't you tell me there was an activity when I left, little cousin?" I remember that day my little cousin was the only one guarding me.
"I'll be back after the event. I also want to take a good rest for a while. I have plenty of time to spend with you."
She nodded. Anyway, her cousin had a very flexible job. "By the way, these are gifts for you two," Qu Nannan took out two space buttons and handed them to Qu Haojie and Bai Qingfeng.
Qu Nannan separated each person's gifts separately, so that everyone had a space button and there was no need to quarrel about the gifts.
Qu Haojie and Bai Jingpeng happily took the space button and took out each item to have a good look. Such pure ancient things can only be seen in museums here. They have some at home, but they are all collections of their grandfather, and they will not show them to them casually.
Qu Haojie held the folding fan and looked at the landscape painting on it and said in admiration: "Such a beautiful painting can be drawn on this small fan. I think it is not inferior to those in the museum."
He fanned it casually with a fan: "Hey, it has a fragrance. Is this wood sandalwood? The kind of wood that has its own fragrance?"
"No, yours is Huanghuali, and yours is small-leaf red sandalwood. The wood itself has a light fragrance, and the fan surface has been specially treated, so the fragrance is stronger."
"So this is Huanghuali and Red Sandalwood?" Qu Haojie said. Apart from the color, he really couldn't see any other differences.
Bai Jingpeng took out a hand-embroidered purse and said, "Wow, such a small purse has such a beautiful landscape painting embroidered on it. The material is also different from the ones we have here. Is this pure handmade material? The ancient people were really amazing. They could weave such delicate fabrics without the help of machines."
"Little sister, you can embroider, can you embroider this?"
Qu Nannan shook her head: "No, that's what we call real embroidery. Our current embroidery has been simplified so much that it can't compare to theirs. Ours can't even be considered embroidery, it can only be considered sewing."
"Then you didn't study hard this time?"
"No, this time I went there to mainly learn medical skills. It's a good opportunity for me to go out and gain experience, so I can see if I can find some medicinal herbs to bring back."
She didn't dare to think of the same thing, but she could try to change the prescription after finding the mutation. However, these were not very useful for the people here. They had almost no minor illnesses, and for serious illnesses, they just had to go to the medical cabin and lie down.
As for the mental illnesses here, no one knows whether these herbs have any effect. The main purpose of picking the herbs here is to study whether there are any herbs that can target mental damage. If there are, it will be a blessing for Mercury.
The two of them didn't say anything after hearing this. Doctors weren't really considered a good profession in their area. Minor illnesses and injuries were handled by a tube of medicine, while serious injuries could be handled by the medical cabin. As for mental damage, it could only be soothed, which was the job of the soothsayer.
Here, a doctor is a worker who can simply identify injuries and operate medical equipment. They are not very curious about traditional Chinese medicine. People here rarely get sick, so they don't care about it.
Qu Haojie took out a gorgeous gown, the kind with gold and silver threads all over it: "This dress is really beautiful, I want to try it on now."
Bai Jingpeng also took out a moon-white gown. This one was much more low-key, with only patterns outlined by silver lines and faint flashes of light.
"This one looks good, I'll try it too."
Soon, the two of them came out with their clothes all messed up. They didn't expect that ancient clothes were so difficult to wear. They studied for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Qu Nannan patiently explained to the two of them how to wear the clothes. It's amazing that her two brothers looked pretty good in them.
This is the good thing about good-looking people: they can look good in whatever they wear. If they hold a fan and have long hair, they can really look like ancient scholars.
