Chapter 385 New Skills
Let’s not talk about how Director Wang will conduct the investigation. Xu Changping watched Director Wang walk farther and farther away until his figure disappeared. He then slowly turned around and walked back to the Cui family with steady steps.
After entering the Cui family's main door, Xu Changping walked straight to the inner room with a familiar manner. There was a somewhat worn-out chair placed next to the large bed in the inner room. Xu Changping sat down gently, stretched out his right hand, placed three fingers on the wrist of Grandma Cui who was lying on the bed, and began to carefully feel her pulse.
After a while, Xu Changping slowly withdrew his hand from feeling the patient's pulse, and said softly to Cui Miaomiao, who was standing beside him with a concerned look on her face, "Your grandma is recovering well. She should be almost recovered after taking the medicine for another two days."
Hearing this, Cui Miaomiao's heart finally settled down a little. Her big watery eyes were full of gratitude. She looked at Xu Changping and nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude: "Thank you so much, Brother Xu! If you hadn't extended a helping hand, I don't know what I should have done."
Xu Changping smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a small favor. You take care of grandma, I'll go home first." After that, he didn't give Cui Miaomiao a chance to speak, and turned around and left Cui's house.
When Xu Changping returned to the East Courtyard with a relaxed pace, he saw Yang Xiaoyue coming towards him like a light butterfly.
Her lively eyes were full of concern and curiosity, and she asked softly, "Brother Xu, what happened in the front yard?"
Just now, she saw with her own eyes Xu Changping rushing back in a hurry, and after hastily parking his bicycle, he didn't even have time to say hello to her before he ran away again like a gust of wind.
Hearing Yang Xiaoyue's question, Xu Changping's gaze involuntarily lingered on her beautiful face for a moment.
He knew very well that this gentle and lovely woman in front of him was caring about him sincerely.
But after a slight hesitation, he simply replied, "No big deal, Director Wang just came over for something."
As for the various disputes that occurred in the Cui family, he felt that the time was not right yet, so it would be better not to tell Yang Xiaoyue for the time being, so as not to make her worry too. Besides, Director Wang had not yet reached a final conclusion.
Yang Xiaoyue was so smart that when she saw Xu Changping's expression, she naturally understood his thoughts. So she was considerate and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, she showed a gentle smile and said softly, "Then go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
As far as Yang Xiaoyue was concerned, she didn't care what happened in the front yard. She asked just now because she was afraid that something might implicate her sisters.
Xu Changping walked into the house, first washed up in an orderly manner, washed his hands thoroughly, then quickly changed into clean clothes, and then sat down at the dining table leisurely.
At this time, a sumptuous dinner had already been carefully prepared by Yang Xiaoyue and was served on the table.
When she saw Xu Changping sitting down safely, she considerately picked up the soup spoon and filled him with a bowl of steaming, fragrant chicken soup.
Xu Changping quickly reached out to take the bowl of chicken soup, feeling the warmth in his hands, nodded gently, raised a satisfied arc on the corner of his mouth, smiled and praised generously: "Oh, this chicken soup smells so delicious!"
When Yang Xiaoyue heard Xu Changping's praise, she smiled and said, "I stewed it specially for you, and I put a lot of medicinal herbs in it."
After drinking a mouthful of chicken soup, Xu Changping relaxed. He seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Yang Xiaoyue, "Has your accounting class started yet?"
Yang Xiaoyue said softly, a little embarrassed, "I was just about to tell you this. I have to go to school tomorrow, so I'll have to leave the task of picking up Xiao Mi tonight to you."
She had no choice. The accounting class was scheduled in the evening and Xiao Mi really didn't have time to take it.
Xu Changping smiled, then nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I will pick you up, just go to school without worry."
After the two of them had dinner, Xu Changping didn't let Yang Xiaoyue clean up the table, and directly asked her to go and pick up Xiao Mi.
In the dead of night, everything is silent.
Xu Changping was leaning quietly on the couch under the bedroom window, but his mind had already been immersed in the system.
Host: Xu Changping
Race: human
Age: 19 years old
Height: 185.3 (your height is very standard)
Weight: 70.5 kg (very good, you have reached the standard of being thin when dressed and having muscular body when undressed)
Physical fitness: 22/10 (Your physical fitness is already at its peak, please maintain it)
Skills: Special medical skills, intermediate cooking skills, intermediate antique appraisal, elementary skills, Taoist inheritance
Wanjie Interconnection Mall: Open (Are you really not considering buying more things?)
Merit: 1230 (Just do good things, don't worry about the future)
Looking at the contents on the system panel, Xu Changping couldn't suppress the smile.
If the small system hadn't told him about it, he wouldn't know when he would notice the changes inside.
As the saying goes, when you think there is no way out, you will find another village just out of the darkness.
Since receiving Guan Ke's inheritance, Xu Changping also obtained a large number of Feng Shui books by chance.
Now as the small system has been upgraded to the second level, the knowledge of Taoist medicine, feng shui, fortune-telling, etc. that he had learned before has been directly integrated into a complete Taoist heritage.
The series of basic skills that I had learned from studying antique appraisal have now been combined together. In the future, I will not have to spend money to hire a teacher one by one when I study.
What made Xu Changping even happier was that because the system's virtual courses added a time flow function, his learning progress was greatly improved and his progress became faster and faster.
After closing the attribute panel, Xu Changping clicked on the Taoist inheritance that he was most interested in in the system's skill mall.
Following a melodious sound of the guqin, a man in a white robe with an immortal look appeared in front of Xu Changping: "Old Taoist Xun Yangzi, I will teach you from now on."
Xu Changping replied very politely: "Then I'll trouble you from now on." He didn't know much about Taoism and didn't know how to address the other party.
Xun Yangzi raised his hand slightly and said, "You're welcome. Since you are not a formal Taoist disciple, the skills I teach you are those in your skill column."
Hearing what the Taoist Xun Yangzi said, Xu Changping couldn't help but feel happy. This meant that he didn't need to study cultural subjects and could directly learn skills. He nodded and said, "I understand."
"However." Xun Yangzi seemed to see what Xu Changping was thinking, and after a pause he continued, "Since you are learning some Feng Shui techniques, I still suggest that you read some Taoist books on self-cultivation in private, so that you won't damage your character easily."
After all, Feng Shui techniques are not all good. There are also many insidious and vicious things. Due to the limitations of the system, he has to teach them even if he doesn't want to.
"I understand." Xu Changping nodded and said seriously.
Listen to people's advice and eat a full meal. Since Xun Yangzi said so, he must have his reasons. Anyway, when I have nothing to do, I read books to kill time. There is nothing wrong with reading Taoist classics.
