Why is the system getting involved at this time?

I only have a slight interest in traditional Chinese medicine, but it's not to the point where I absolutely have to learn it!

So she ignored the system task and simply nodded to Elder Hua, saying, "You must keep your word!"

Hmph, although I wasn't born with a photographic memory, my memory isn't bad either.

It's just a book; half a day is enough.

Yes, they came after lunch today, so it's already afternoon.

When Mr. Hua asked her to memorize the book today, he was actually only giving her half a day.

Of course, if she studies late into the night, she will have more time.

However, Liu Shile doesn't plan to spend that much time.

They were clearly testing her. Although she wasn't competitive, she didn't mind showing off a bit.

She understands that the more outstanding a person is, the more choices they have.

Besides, how could someone who came from the apocalypse be stumped by a native?

Don't even think about it!

So when Mr. Hua gave her a positive answer, she immediately found a shady spot.

Then it went straight into reading mode.

Seeing the little girl instantly get into character, Hua Zhenghe's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Then, she glanced at the boy standing far away, who stood there somewhat reservedly.

However, his eyes were constantly fixed on this side, presumably because he was worried that his younger sister would be mistreated.

He nodded to himself; the boy seemed alright.

Since that little girl brought everyone here, she probably has something to ask for.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, he decided to grant her a wish, even though he was an old man.

Thinking this, Hua Zhenghe stepped forward.

Liu Shihua was puzzled when she saw her younger sister sitting there reading a book.

But when he saw the old man walking towards him, he immediately became nervous.

Hua Zhenghe was a shrewd man. Seeing the boy's condition, he first comforted him and then took his pulse.

Then she guided him to talk about his family.

Although Liu Shihua is intelligent, she lacks experience.

I felt relaxed, especially when I saw my younger sister reading quietly.

So, without realizing it, she ended up telling everyone about her family, including family members and the major changes that had happened in her home.

Seeing that the young man had so easily revealed his family's affairs, Hua Zhenghe felt very conflicted.

Will this kid hold the girl he's eyeing back from getting ahead of him?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the little girl who was quietly reading a book.

Well, let's wait and see how she performs before making any decisions.

Even though she was quick-witted and seemed like a promising candidate for medical school.

But given her personality, and the fact that he wouldn't mention it if she failed this test, he knew she was capable of handling it.

At most, I'll teach them half a set of health-preserving exercises.

As for the complete set, only his direct disciples can learn it; he would never teach it to others casually.

"Alright, your health is much better than your sister's."

It's just that I was a bit deficient in nutrients when I was young. I'll pay attention to my diet and try to eat a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables. After a while, I'll be fine.

After learning everything he wanted to know, Hua Zhenghe said this to the boy.

Hearing that she was alright, Liu Shihua was in a good mood and thanked them sincerely with a smile.

Only then did he plead with this person to properly treat his sister.

Hua Zhenghe nearly choked on his words!

I already treated that little girl a long time ago, okay?

But that little girl didn't take my instructions to heart at all!

How dare someone who ignores medical advice come to see him? If it were anyone else, he would have kicked them out long ago!

However, the girl's performance that day was so perfect that Hua Zhenghe really couldn't bear to part with her.

So, they deliberately gave her a difficult problem.

I thought she would look upset, but she just took it all in stride!

This left Hua Zhenghe both satisfied and dissatisfied, a rather contradictory situation.

He felt like he had punched cotton.

However, he said he would be quite satisfied if this allowed him to acquire an outstanding apprentice.

"Kid, come help me." Hua Zhenghe wasn't one to sit idle either.

There were a lot of medicinal herbs drying in the yard. Since this kid had nothing to do anyway, I might as well lend this old geezer a hand.

As a result, Liu Shihua spent the entire afternoon being bossed around by Hua Zhenghe.

Summer days are long, and nights come late.

Liu Shile was completely immersed in the knowledge in this book.

She was so engrossed in reading that she memorized the book in two hours.

However, to shock the old man, she simply spent some more time reciting it backwards.

So around 5 p.m., Liu Shile achieved her goal.

She stood up, stretched lazily, and realized she was quite tired after sitting for an entire afternoon.

"Lele, are you tired of sitting? Are you thirsty? Come and have some cold dishes to rest."

Liu Shihua had just rested when she saw her younger sister finally move. She was very excited and brought her a bowl of cold tea.

Liu Shile was indeed a little thirsty, so she took the drink without hesitation and prepared to drink it.

"Little girl, you're not allowed to drink!" Then they heard Old Hua's somewhat exasperated voice.

Liu Shile reacted so quickly; she stopped almost the instant Shi Hua opened his mouth.

Even when the bowl was only a millimeter away from her mouth.

"Mr. Hua, what's wrong?"

Liu Shihua didn't understand why Old Hua wouldn't let his sister drink herbal tea.

His sister must be tired and thirsty after reading all afternoon, so why can't she have some tea?

Old Hua glared at him irritably and said without any politeness, "She can't drink these!"

You meant well, but you'd better be more careful in the future, or you'll definitely end up doing more harm than good!

Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua immediately felt ashamed, her face turning red from her ears to her entire face.

"Lele, I'm sorry, I won't be so reckless next time!"

Although he felt wronged, if his sister couldn't drink this tea, wouldn't it be harming her if he gave it to her?

Therefore, his apology was absolutely sincere, and he also felt very sorry for his younger sister.

"It's alright, Second Brother, you go ahead and do your work. I have something to discuss with Elder Hua."

Liu Shile winked at her second brother, showing no sign of blaming him.

Liu Shihua nodded and left, vowing in her heart to ask Old Master Hua for advice on how to take care of her sister's health when she returned.

He was dumbfounded. He had such a good opportunity and so much time this afternoon, and he didn't even ask!

He used to think he wasn't stupid, but now it seems he's incredibly stupid!

"Hmph, you're just protecting him!" Old Hua was furious to see this little girl still protecting someone. Who am I doing this for?

Liu Shile smiled sweetly, "I know you mean well."

But my second brother is still young, we'll take it slow, he'll learn eventually.

"Alright, alright, I can't be bothered to argue with you. It's none of my business anyway!"

Hua Zhenghe was angry and glared at Liu Shile. "Speak, what do you want to tell me?"

"It's nothing, I just memorized the book."

Liu Shile's voice was calm, and she didn't find her words particularly frightening at all!
