“What? I can’t come?”
Lu Ye grabbed the bag and placed it onto the chopping board to unload its contents.
Inside was a piece of preserved meat, chicken, mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage, and dried bean shoots.
The soldiers, visibly confused, observed for a while before finally asking, “Captain Lu, what do you intend to cook? We’re only familiar with northern dishes. We don’t really know how to cook southern dishes.”
“You don’t need to cook.”
Lu Ye shooed them aside as he put a white apron on.
While his men watched intently, he started to wash and cut the vegetables. To their surprise, Lu Ye did it with rather great proficiency.
Gu Yan had already finished two sets of tests and managed to memorize a few English words as well.
In this age, phones and other audio devices were yet to be available, so she had to do everything manually.
After studying for half an hour, Gu Yan stretched her back. For some reason, she suddenly pulled the string of her necklace on which a jade pendant hung low. She dragged it out.
To her surprise, she found that the little seed encased inside began to bud. It was white.
It appeared like… a flower bulb.
Of course, the bulb was relatively minuscule since the pendant was small.
It seemed ready to bloom.
Gu Yan closed her eyes and summoned the green light from the jade pendant. Soon, it sprung out from the jade pendant with a speckle of silver light.
It crept up Gu Yan’s arm. It brought warmth everywhere it passed.
Gu Yan closed her eyes and let it course on her body. Suddenly, thoughts formed in her mind.
“Female, 18 years old, cold body, occasional dysmenorrhea — has been relieved.”
Gu Yan quickly opened her eyes.
The message flashed rapidly, but she was able to remember it clearly.
It was about herself.
Gu Yan felt as if her health suddenly became robust. Back in the rural region, she often found herself in pain due to dysmenorrhea. She felt healed now, thanks to that pendant.
Ever since saving Xie Luan, she never used the jade pendant. To her surprise, it had the ability to diagnose and treat its wielder.
Upon discovery of this, Gu Yan was thrilled. However, she had no one else to share it with.
“I should find an opportunity to try it on someone.” Gu Yan sat down and tucked the jade pendant back inside her shirt. She drank a glass of warm water in an attempt to calm herself down.
If it could really diagnose people, it would be magnificent.
The current state of medical technology wasn’t as advanced as twenty years later. Most of the symptoms, and therefore conditions, were often missed.
Case in point, Xie Luan’s and Chen Yuan’s conditions.
The door suddenly creaked.
Gu Yan got up immediately and saw Lu Ye carry those food trays from the dining hall.
“You, why did you bring back so much?” Gu Yan quickly came to help.
As soon as she opened the lid, the contents surprised her.
“What? I can’t come?”
