Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

"certainly!"

Xia An nodded affirmatively.

Zhou Jiajia's expression changed, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Xia An shook her head. "I'm leaving now. Remember to come back for your medicine."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhou Jiajia's gaze fell on Sun Wei, who was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and her expression was strange.

Does she know something that's why she's been consistently consuming cottonseed oil all these years?

Along the way, Xia An planted the young Da Hong Pao saplings of the mother tree in the woodland.

"Then, there was tea."

"I remember that warehouses can also do some minor processing of tea leaves, right?"

Xia An chuckled softly and hurried back to the team headquarters, just in time to start distributing the soup and meat slices.

He glanced at the distance not far away.

Seeing that Chen Zhiyi's family looked somewhat downcast, I had a vague guess in my mind.

Xia An casually scooped up a spoonful of soup, added two slices of meat, and went to Ye Qingxuan and the others.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Ye Qingxuan beside him and asked in a low voice:

"Didn't Zhiyi's family share the meat?"

Ye Qingxuan replied in a low voice, "The two families divided it at the last minute, and in the end, it was gone."

Xia An understood; it was better that he didn't get assigned a spot, saving him the trouble of going through another round.

Although the wild boar indirectly caused the death, it didn't eat or drink the blood, so we don't need to exchange it.

But he felt uneasy about letting Chen Zhiyi and Yang Yanqiu eat it.

As for the meat, we'll see later.

Xia An took a sip of the soup from the bowl, and to be honest, it didn't taste good.

Putting two pieces of meat in your mouth isn't exactly delicious, but in this day and age, it's good enough to be able to eat them.

Put the bowl down.

Thinking about what had just happened, Xia An found Xie Weiguo and Luo Zhongqian.

"Uncle Xie, do many people in our village use cottonseed oil?"

Xie Weiguo shook his head, "Eating too much of that stuff will make you feel listless and weak."

"There are people in the village who eat, but not many."

Kong Boyue's expression hardened slightly. "Why is Xia Zhiqing suddenly asking this?"

Xia An shook her head slightly, "I just took Zhou Jiajia's pulse and found that she's not feeling well."

"I found them eating this oil again, so I came to remind you."

"Eating too much cottonseed oil can make you weak and lethargic, mainly because it causes sterility."

"Whether it's a man or a woman, it's very difficult to conceive after taking it, and they need to stop taking it for a year or two before they can resume normal fertility."

Xie Weiguo and the others' expressions changed slightly.

"It actually has this effect?"

The older generation just guessed that it was because she ate too much and her health was poor that she couldn't get pregnant.

Xia An shook her head, "That's one point, but the main reason is that it itself inhibits conception."

Xie Weiguo nodded, "Understood, we will inform everyone about this later."

Soon,

The crowd dispersed, and Xia An and the others returned to the infirmary.

Xie Lingyun and the others followed.

Xia An glanced at the expectation and trepidation in Xie Lingyun's eyes, nodded and smiled:

"They agreed. Just go and tell Accountant Kong when you have time."

Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Brother Xia!"

"You're welcome."

Xia An waved his hand and walked into the consultation room.

Xie Lingxiu leaned closer and whispered, "Lingyun, what are you talking about?"

Xie Lingyun didn't hide anything and told everyone her decision.

Xie Lingxiu was a little envious. "Your parents are so kind. I can't spend my work points like that."

Xie Lingyun smiled gently. She was her parents' only child, so of course they treated her well.

Just then, Xia An's voice came from the consultation room.

"Come in, everyone. Today we'll learn about the four diagnostic methods of observation: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation..."

Next,

Xia An explained to the group that people would occasionally come for a consultation, and he used these cases as examples.

Time flies like an arrow.

Before she knew it, it was past seven o'clock, and Xia An's voice slowly stopped.

"That's all for this morning. You can all go about your business."

"Remember to come between 6 and 8 pm, and we'll continue our conversation."

"good!"

The group nodded quickly.

Xie Lingxiu was the first to say goodbye and leave, followed by Kong Xiuyuan and the other two children who left together.

Li Yuxue said, "Are you going into the mountains? I'm free anyway, I'll go with you."

Xia An shook her head and refused.

"Your house should be finished by noon, so you should stay home."

Li Yuxue glanced at him, naturally knowing what he was worried about.

He simply nodded in agreement.

Xia An carried a medicine basket into the mountains.

Upon arriving at a secluded spot, he immediately sent his illusory form, carrying a medicine basket, to wander around.

He then vanished into the void.

Mountain running?

What's better than lying around like a corpse?

If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible, he would have preferred not to kill Lina and instead trapped her on the ninth floor of the warehouse.

Unfortunately, it won't work!

It's past eight o'clock.

A sliver of light swept through the spiritual spring space, and ripe crops and fruits were harvested.

Another batch of grain, meat, fruit, and medicinal herbs appeared in the warehouse.

Crops were replanted, livestock mothers gave birth to new calves, and everything flourished.

Xia An smiled with satisfaction; he had already checked the medicinal herbs beforehand.

Although its medicinal effects aren't miraculous, they are still better than those of ordinary wild herbs.

Each plant is the finest of its kind, with pure medicinal properties, absolutely excellent.

If he weren't in the mood, he would have liked to become a behind-the-scenes pharmaceutical tycoon.

In addition, Tian Shan snow lotus and ginseng, among others, are striving to grow and increase their lifespan.

Xia Anxin's mind stirred slightly, and several plates of fruit appeared on the coffee table.

With a wave of her hand, a strawberry landed in her hand, which she savored with delight.

It tastes amazing.

If a beautiful woman were to serve him, his mood would likely be even better.

Unfortunately, it won't work.

His gaze fell upon the grain and fruit piled up in the warehouse.

"If we could acquire brewing techniques, perhaps we could make rice wine or fruit wine."

"It doesn't make you drunk, and it tastes good."

He muttered something to himself, then shook his head.

He could learn the techniques from outside, but the taste would probably be just so-so.

If you're going to learn, learn the best winemaking techniques.

hope……

…Maybe the system will give him this surprise.

Xia An leisurely lay down eating fruit, or perhaps taking a nap.

Alternatively, one could use the Ninefold Illusion to examine the status of several illusory bodies.

Let's just treat it as watching a documentary.

In this way, time passed very quickly.

Seeing that it was five o'clock in the afternoon, Xia An got up and stretched.

"This time is really hard to pass. If only I had a phone to watch videos and play games."

Xia An muttered to himself, knowing that this was not realistic at the moment.

Unless the system works harder, it would be more like giving you a single-player game console.

He stepped out of the spiritual spring space, reunited with his illusory body, and retrieved the medicine basket.

After dispersing them, Xia An carried his medicine basket and headed out of the forest.

Before leaving the mountains and forests,

This time, instead of gathering firewood, they gained an extra prey—a wild rabbit!

Too big ones are difficult to handle. We'll have Li Jia come over later; they can appear in the form of chunks of meat.

For example, wild boar meat, roe deer meat, donkey meat, venison, and fragrant meat, etc.

The patrol members all breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Xia An.

Although they knew Xia An was formidable, they were still somewhat nervous every time he went into the mountains.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. Perhaps things would be different once Luo Yunshu and the others had completed their apprenticeships.

"Xia, you've had a good harvest!"

Xie Yuting stepped forward, glanced at the wild rabbit Xia An was carrying, and laughed.

Xia An smiled. "We were lucky. We were almost out of the forest when it crashed into us."

"They didn't even use a hunting rifle; they just casually tossed out a dagger and took down the prey."

"Amazing!" Xie Yuting gave a thumbs up and exclaimed in admiration.

Immediately, remembering something,

"Oh, right, some people from outside the village just went past the clinic. You should go back and check on them."

"Oh?"

Xia An had already expected this, but feigned surprise, asking, "Who would come looking for me?"
