It was just before noon when the master from the basic school where the outer sect was located saw Wu Dong who was taller than his peers at a glance and asked him directly.
Wu Dong's batch of outer disciples have completed the basics of elementary education and no longer come to the school for classes.
As far as Master knows, few of the disciples from outside the village who come to the school like to study, and once they leave the school they will never come back.
Wu Dong's performance was only mediocre. The reason why Master could still recognize him was mainly because the previous batch of disciples from the outer sect of the mountain village had left the school not long ago, and his height and strength were also very conspicuous.
"Master, I came to the school because I wanted to go to the library and borrow some books to read!"
Standing with his feet together and his body upright, Wu Dongchong made a greeting to the master, and then answered calmly.
The so-called library is similar to the library attached to the school.
Because the number of books is not large and cannot meet the requirements of a library or a bookstore, it is called a library.
"Oh, what book do you want to borrow?"
The master became interested and asked curiously: "Is it possible that you still have some free time to study miscellaneous studies?"
"Master, I just want to check out the basics of blacksmithing and medicinal materials!"
Smiling softly, Wu Dong explained: "I am somewhat interested in these!"
"Oh, that's right, then go ahead!"
The master lost interest, waved his hand and turned around to leave, without any thought of getting to the bottom of it.
Although Wu Dong, an outer disciple who obviously came from a village, didn't want to practice martial arts but came to borrow miscellaneous books such as Blacksmithing Basics and Medicinal Materials Basics. It was strange, and he didn't have much interest in learning more about it.
Wu Dong stood still and waited for the master to leave before walking towards the study room.
The study room is quite deserted. There is a small room in a corner of the college, guarded by an old man with a broken leg.
The old man's clothes were also described as somewhat slovenly, and he looked listless and sluggish. He was taking a nap next to a wooden bed whose color could not be seen clearly.
Hearing Wu Dong's footsteps, he waved his hand without raising his head, indicating that Wu Dong could go directly into the study and not disturb him.
Seeing this, Wu Dong took back the greeting he was about to blurt out, walked past the old man with a broken leg without saying a word, and went directly into the somewhat dim study room.
Tsk…
After getting used to the light in the dim study room, there was a turbid and musty smell inside.
I walked directly to the only lonely bookshelf and looked at the books on the shelf, which were less than ten and covered with a light layer of dust. I had the urge to shake my head.
Obviously, the library was not properly cleaned and cared for.
He didn't bother to say anything more and just picked up the book on blacksmithing basics and flipped through it...
The so-called forging basics are actually the basic skills of blacksmithing. The introduction in the book is quite simple. If you want to rely on the knowledge in the book to explore on your own, it will probably take a lot of time and energy.
There were only about thirty pages of content, all written in calligraphy. There were not many words, and the content was not very profound. He just glanced at it and wrote it all down.
By the way, when he went to school to read and read, he discovered that his memory was not very good, and he almost had a photographic memory. He didn't know if he had the benefit of time travel and rebirth?
But this was a good thing, and it was naturally well hidden. During the one and a half years of school life, no one noticed it.
It's a pity that the school where the outer hall is located is only used for enlightenment. All the books learned are elementary books, and there is no introductory information about this world at all.
Even though he only has the ability to have a photographic memory, he is unable to exert its most important effect.
I heard that there was a higher level school with more books in the inner hall, but it was a pity that he was not qualified to go there.
At present, it seems that there is no way to practice internal skills, and I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the inner door in the future. That's why he came up with the idea of the outer hall study room.
Putting down the blacksmithing basics, he picked up the medicinal material basics, quickly flipped through the memory, and it didn't take long for him to memorize the entire book in his mind.
It only took him less than half an hour to read all the books in the study room and memorize them.
All are very practical books!
Things like blacksmithing basics, medicinal herb basics, and carpentry basics are similar to the reference books in previous lives.
He did not stay in the study room longer, nor did he spend money to buy paper and pen for copying. He turned around and left the study room directly.
From the beginning to the end, the old man with a broken leg guarding the study did not raise his head to look at him, nor did he care what Wu Dong did.
It was still early and he was rejected by the martial arts master Chen Daobao and the teenagers in his group. He did not go over to seek trouble. Instead, he found a shade to sit down and carefully pondered what he had just memorized in his mind.
The books in the school library are almost all practical reference books.
If you study carefully and have good hands-on skills, it is not difficult to spend some time and energy to learn a basic livelihood craft.
Just by turning his head for a moment, he basically understood the purpose of the copycat.
It should be a way to make a living for the village members who are unable to enter the inner gate, or who are not talented in martial arts.
Of course, it can also be said that it is to cultivate professional talents within the cottage.
I heard that there are many large-scale industries in Shanzhai and require a huge number of professional talents. It would be more secure and more practical to train them yourself like warriors.
These thoughts just flashed through his mind and were thrown aside. He put all his thoughts and energy on the foundation of medicine and medicinal herbs.
Yes, there is also a basic medical book in the study room, which is convenient for him to better familiarize himself with and understand the efficacy of the medicinal materials introduced in the basic medicinal herbs.
It's just a pity that although I knew some common sense about health in my previous life, I mostly focused on Western medicine and surgery, and my understanding of Chinese medicine and medicinal herbs was really lacking.
Even if his memory is amazing, it is still very difficult to get started with a book on basic medicinal materials, unless there is guidance from a doctor.
Besides, it’s hard to say whether the medicine in this world is the same as the traditional Chinese medicine in the previous life, or whether there are deviations. He wants to learn and understand it, but it’s quite difficult to think about it.
There is a medicine hall in the cottage, but it is not something Wu Dong can join at this time.
He didn't want to attract attention at this time, so he could only slowly ponder and study based on the contents of the two basic medical books.
The ultimate goal is very simple, which is to find out the formula of the medicinal diet provided by the copycat at noon.
The cottage can provide large quantities of such medicated meals to outer disciples, so obviously the ingredients are definitely not expensive and precious medicinal materials.
As long as Wu Dong can figure out the ingredients and easily find such medicinal materials, the effect of exercising in the future will be amazing.
Even if you can't get started with practicing internal skills, it's enough to at least be able to persevere and not fall behind when fighting for your physical fitness.
