Real or Fake Missy : I Have a Piece of Godly Land

Chapter 50: The Second Visit

Lu Qi was curious, but he was unwilling to let go of the cup of hot water in his hand. Thus he walked over with the cup in his hand.

This cubicle was actually not small. Cheng Ling had connected this cubicle to another room and used it as a room for storing medicinal herbs.

Lu Qi did not expect that there would be a different world inside.

This room was filled with tall cabinets, just like the cabinets in the Chinese medicine hall. There were many small compartments, and each compartment contained different things.

The names of these medicinal herbs were pasted on it.

Lu Qi looked at it carefully. He couldn’t even recognize some of the words on it.

“You know Old Master Ding because you helped him treat his illness?”

Cheng Ling recalled the prescription that she gave Lu Qi and grabbed the medicine.

“Yes, five years ago, I met Old Master Ding by chance and helped him treat his leg.”

Cheng Ling grabbed the medicine very quickly. She didn’t even need to weigh it. Her hand was like a measuring instrument, and she could grab the amount accurately.

“This room of yours should be worth a lot of money, right?”

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows. Perhaps it was because of the hot water, his face had turned a little ruddy.

The warm yellow light drove away a lot of the cold air on his body.

Cheng Ling took the medicine to decoct it. Then, she took out a small pillow for taking pulse and asked Lu Qi to put his hand on it.

“By right the interval for the follow-up consultation shouldn’t be so short. But since I still don’t fully understand your physical condition, and also it’s your first time taking the medicine I made, I have to be more careful.”

Cheng Ling stretched out three fingers and carefully felt Lu Qi’s pulse.

For a moment, the two of them didn’t speak. Cheng Ling was very serious when she checked Lu Qi’s pulse. She lowered her eyes, and her long, curly eyelashes cast shadows on her face.

The faint bitter smell of Chinese medicine drifted into the kitchen. Outside the window, the faint sound of rain falling on the ground could be heard. From time to time, the wind blew through the leaves, making rustling sounds.

“There’s nothing unusual. The pulse is much stronger than the last time. Today the time you take medicine is a little late. Try to take the medicine before eight o’clock in the evening in the future.”

Lu Qi withdrew his hand.

His physical condition had indeed improved a lot recently. He slept longer and longer at night, unlike the past when he could only sleep for two or three hours.

Although he still had headaches, the frequency had decreased a lot.

“Your acceptance of the medicine I prescribed is quite good. I will add two more medicines to the original prescription. You need to be careful with these two medicines and do not drink alcohol.”

Lu Qi nodded obediently.

He had never touched tobacco or alcohol. In the eyes of others, the person-in-charge of the Lu family was Lu Xiu, so it was not Lu Qi’s to perform this kind of “drinking” activity.

Cheng Ling wrote a new prescription for Lu Qi and took out a small purple round box from the cubicle.

Inside was some finely ground powder.

“Your body catches a cold easily. Every time you take the medicine, put a spoonful of this powder in it. You need to persist in this for a long time. Slowly, your body will not be so cold anymore.”

Lu Qi took the small purple box and put it in the pocket of his windbreaker.

His movements were slow and inexplicably solemn.

“Thank you, Cheng Ling.”

“No need to thank me. Just pay the medical fees later.”

Lu Qi shook his head and laughed.

Cheng Ling walked into the kitchen. A moment later, she took out a bowl of black medicine.

“Hiss, it’s so hot.”

After Cheng Ling placed the bowl on the table, she rubbed her fingers on her earlobes in a cute manner.

This was what Xie Ying had taught her, and the effect was very good.

“This medicine is very bitter…”

“Do you want me to add some rock sugar?”

Lu Qi heard Cheng Ling’s tone, which sounded like she was coaxing a child, and he shook his head with a smile.

Taking medicine was nothing out of the ordinary for him. No matter how bitter the medicine was, he could still swallow it without changing his expression, not to mention that Cheng Ling’s medicine was so effective.

He picked up the bowl and drank the medicine quickly but elegantly.

Cheng Ling realized that Lu Qi always seemed to be smiling faintly. His expression had never changed much.

The phone screen on the table lit up again. It was a WeChat message from Lu Xiu.

[ Super Handsome Guy ] : Are you guys done? Hurry up and save me. Cheng Ming is so long-winded. I’m so sleepy!

Cheng Ling smiled and her eyes curved into crescent moons as she handed the phone to Lu Qi.

“Someone is calling for help.”

Lu Qi put down the empty bowl and looked at his watch. The hour hand was already pointing to eleven.

“It’s a little late, and you still have school tomorrow. I won’t disturb you further.”

“Okay, then I’ll take you there. It’s dark, and there are some potholes.”

Lu Qi didn’t refuse Cheng Ling’s kindness. He nodded, and they each held an umbrella and walked towards the Cheng residence.
