Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

Wu Qing basically confirmed that this "past life connection" was not a dream.

It's like a "prequel" forcibly inserted into his and Xiaobai's real lives.

Xiao Qing, who had transformed into a human, looked almost identical to Shan Ailian, and could be recognized at a glance.

But Xiaobai never actually saw it in real life.

Xiao Bai likes to wear white clothes. She has a slender figure and a small chest, which is barely noticeable.

Compared to Xiaoqing, she blushed and became shy more easily, and she always had to find some excuse to see him.

As for Xiaoqing, her true nature was revealed to some extent.

Wu Qing is currently working as a shop assistant in a pharmacy.

Because he did a good job, the shopkeeper was willing to let him go, and before he knew it, he had become quite famous in this stone town.

As a result, he was able to borrow more books to read.

This was an era more similar to the Song Dynasty.

Although it is somewhat bizarre to place a time period similar to the Song Dynasty in their previous life at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

But in the end, isn't this just a "ghost story"?

Although Wu Qing had taken up the position of advisor, and in the military, an advisor was actually a strategist.

But he knew that his foundation in this area was not solid, and he basically relied on the "I want to check the license plate" cheat.

If he couldn't explain something, he would pretend to be mysterious.

While this method is useful, ultimately, it's still essential to improve one's theoretical foundation as soon as possible.

Before the Sui Dynasty, not to mention military strategy, even various classics and historical texts were controlled by powerful families, and ordinary people had no opportunity to study.

However, by the Song Dynasty, with the implementation of the imperial examination system, the widespread use of printing technology, and the decline of aristocratic families, a large number of books had become available to the general public.

He took advantage of this time to study intensively, reading not only various classics, histories, philosophical works, and collections of literature, but also useful later books such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Jixiao Xinshu".

Don't ask why his previous life, which appeared at the end of the Sui Dynasty, was in the Song Dynasty, and why there are books from the Ming Dynasty in the Song Dynasty.

Isn't this a ghost story?

Needless to say, the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" (The Exploitation of the Works of Nature) combined with his compulsory education before his transmigration allowed him to catch up on a lot of knowledge about agronomy, metallurgy, machinery, and other related fields.

Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Military Efficiency" was particularly enlightening for him, providing him with a wealth of military theories.

That day, he sat in the backyard, holding a book in his left hand and grinding medicine with a pestle in his right.

"Brother Aqing?" The backyard gate was gently pushed open, and a charming face peeked in.

"I'm here!" Wu Qing said without looking up. "Come in if you want, but don't break any more of my things and try to find an excuse to stay here and fix them for me."

"What do you mean?" Xiaoqing chuckled and floated in.

She sat down next to Wu Qing: "Let me help you."

Taking the pestle from Wu Qing's hand, she offered to grind the medicine for him: "Brother Qing, you really love reading! But, are those military books you read really useful?"

Wu Qing laughed and said, "Even if you don't need it in this life, you might need it in the next."

Xiaoqing said, "But didn't Brother Aqing say that he would rather have a better second half of this life than a better next life?"

Wu Qing glanced at her: "Did I say that?"

"Huh?" Xiaoqing looked up. "It doesn't seem like it, but why do I have a feeling that you said that, Brother Aqing?"

Wu Qing said, "Your memory is playing tricks on you, isn't it?"

Xiaoqing, grinding the medicinal herbs, blushed slightly. "Could it be that, Brother Aqing, you mean to make my lower body better?"

After she finished speaking, she threw the medicine bowl onto the wooden stool in front of her, put her hands on her lap, buried her head and chuckled.

"I never said that," Wu Qing said irritably.

After Xiaoqing laughed, she looked up and moved closer to him.

She raised her charming and lovely face, her rosy lips exhaling a sweet breath: "Then, Brother Aqing... do you want it to get better? I mean... your lower body."

Wu Qing turned his head and gazed at her flawless face.

Xiaoqing looked up, her lips only about two inches away from his.

Wu Qing's breathing became rapid, and he lowered his head to slowly approach her fragrant lips.

"Oh dear! Xiaoqing, so you're here?" A sharp voice suddenly came from behind. "I was wondering where you'd gone, turns out you'd been sneaking off here."

Wu Qing turned around and saw Xiao Bai walking through the front hall, swaying her slender and graceful body.

"Oh, sister, didn't you say you went to see the garden?" Xiaoqing turned her head back and smiled as she looked at Xiaobai.

Wu Qing asked, "Looking at the garden?"

Xiaoqing clasped her hands together in front of her breasts: "My sister and I recently robbed... and received an inheritance. There's a newly built garden outside town that the original owner had committed a crime and wanted to sell, so we're planning to buy it."

Aren't you two snake demons? Who sent you the inheritance?

You mean highway robbery, right?

Wu Qing asked, "What crime did the owner of that house commit?"

Xiaoqing sighed softly: "Their family head is an official in a neighboring county. As a result, the treasury he was guarding was lost. Not only will he be punished, but his property will also have to be sold and confiscated. How pitiful."

"So, that family should thank my sister and me. If it weren't for us, they wouldn't have been able to sell their garden right away."

Wu Qing: "..."

"Xiao Qing!" Xiao Bai came to Wu Qing's side. "Don't keep bothering Young Master Qing. He has things to do too."

Xiaoqing pouted: "Sister, you came too, didn't you?"

Xiao Bai stared at his younger sister.

It's because every time she comes over, her younger sister arrives first, which makes her so angry.

"Aqing? Aqing?" The shopkeeper was calling him from the main hall.

Wu Qing got up and walked outside.

The shopkeeper said, "Several people on the other side of the Zhenxi River have fallen ill. I need you to go and take a look."

The shopkeeper's own skills were not very high; he could only prescribe some simple medicines. When faced with difficult illnesses, he could only prescribe some remedies to reduce swelling and relieve pain to barely get by.

After Wu Qing came to help, the townspeople discovered that the medicine prescribed by the young man was more effective, and before they knew it, they had gotten used to calling him to make house calls.

"Several people have fallen ill?" Wu Qing asked.

"Yes, they say several people have suddenly fallen ill," the shopkeeper frowned. "Could it be some kind of epidemic? You should be careful."

"I hadn't heard of anything like this yesterday," Wu Qing said, taking out his medicine box.

Xiaoqing said, "Brother Aqing, I'll go with you to take a look."

Xiao Bai opened his mouth, intending to say the same thing, but his younger sister beat him to it, leaving him secretly annoyed.

Wu Qing left the pharmacy, with two beautiful women following him.

The shopkeeper watched their disappearing figures and sighed, "That Ah Qing, he's really got a lot of luck with women! Did he do something good in his past life? Tsk tsk tsk!"

Wu Qing, along with Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, headed west of the town.

Upon arriving here, I saw several families gathered together, all shrouded in gloom and despair...
