Medical Book

Of course he did not understand, the whole reason he bought these books in the first place was to study them. There would be no one to cook for him in the apocalypse, so learning to cook was a must, not only so that he can feed himself, but so that he can also feed Xiao Sa, too.

Besides, he would like to read medical books a more often. Relying on a good psychic power, memory boost, he intended to systematically read a round of Chinese medicine, even if he could not comprehend it. The most important thing was to understand the bodily context of operation and the whole body’s energy points.

He also intended to go to Huangshan. Although the researchers had taught him a set of internal forces, he was too ignorant. Anyways, he did not want to stay at home. He remembered there was an old couple in Huangshan who were very famous at eschatology and fortunetelling. It was unfortunate that their hearts were too soft; the old couple had a tragic death, but their son lived well during the end of the world. It was rumored that he set up his own team.

His trip to Huangshan was to look for the couple and consult them on the issue of ancient kung-fu. Studying the medical book was also for sake of laying down the first foundation. If he did not know even a little bit, not to mention others, he himself would be very ashamed and embarassed.

As for those fantasy novels, once Bai Jing thought of this, his mouth could not help but twitch. These fantasy novels were great, just showing that the imagination had such a huge capacity for improvement. At a time when spatial powers could be very different, the first one to use dimension-edge was a fantasy novels lover whom could be described as an airheaded bimbo. With the spatial ability, she fantasized being invincible, with handsome men chasing after her. The truth be told, being the world’s most invincible and having a reverse harem of handsome men did not happen, though she invented the skills.

So Bai Jing felt that in this life, it was necessary to read some fantasy novels, especially novels delving into the world of magic.

And he would like to make a plan in the long-term. He remembered that upon his death, the apocalypse notwithstanding, those researchers scheduled his experiments non-stop because of his hidden dimension caused by his mutation. Wang Dahu spilled everything such that he could not hide anything. He was only glad that he still knew between good and bad and did not tell the entire truth to the boss. Otherwise, the people of the Institute would totally take him apart.

Wang Dahu was the boss, and he was originally a rural farming who developed an ability then gathered a group of people in the village. That gradually developed into a medium-sized team.

Bai Jing does not fear anything else but he was afraid of going back to his days as a captive. In time, these books will all become precious cultural resources of the country, not to mention, Bai Jing’s heart was bitter. No matter how much material he prepared, there will always be a day when he depletes it all. Putting these books there, perhaps they will be useful someday. In short, better be prepared, or else. They didn’t occupy too much space anyways.

Having someone directly deliver the books to the hotel, Bai Jing looked at the time. It was already four o’clock in the afternoon. Back on the road, Bai Jing kept silent for a while, looking at the person concentrating on driving in the front seat: “What are you going to do in the future?

Wang Xuebing grinned, too stunned for a moment to react over the fact that the young master was talking to him: “To protect the young master, obviously. And then, live with the one I love together.”

“You have someone you like?” He had not heard of this before.

Wang Xuebing face blushed, and he nodded his head. He must be remembering his lover, for his whole expression had softened.

Bai Jing stayed silent for a bit. He did not ask any more since he never heard this in his previous life. When it came time to escape, and he did not see that woman either, he lost interest in other people’s affairs. Instead, he asked: “I asked about what you intended to do. You cannot protect me all my life. By the way, how are your parents?”

“My parents died a long time ago, so my uncle raised me. This job to protect the young master is great. Easy work, high salary, I can save money to buy a house.”

“You’re honest.” Bai Jing gave him a supercilious look and found he couldn’t see where they were going. Then, he said: “Do you want to learn mechanics and motor vehicle customization?”

Wang Xuebing was surprised. The young master wanted to chat with him? Before, he felt something strange about the young master, and now, this was even more strange. In the old times, young master wouldn’t talk to the bodyguards. With his thoughts churning, he shook his head: “I still want to make money quickly. I can modify a car. I was poor when as a child, so I worked as child labor at a repair shop. Modified cars cost too much, and being a mechanic in a shop doesn’t earn as much money as being a bodyguard.”

“Do you know anything else besides money?” Bai Jing’s heart stopped. Turning to ignore him, his good intentions became donkey liver and lungs. Money this, money that, once the apocalypse starts, money becomes wastepaper. His desire for money was for naught.

“Oh, you rich people, of course you don’t know. I’ve wanted to earn more money since I was young, then grow old with my lover, together.”

This is the first time that Bai Jing had discovered that this guy’s head is only filled with thoughts of money. However, since Wang Xuebing can modify cars and speak so boldly…in the apocalypse half a barrel of water can also count as talent. Wang Xuebing’s manners alone should be good.

Back at the hotel, the book had not yet been sent over, so Bai Jing turned on the TV and idlly switched channels, listening to various reports on television, watching where his father was meeting. Bai Jing’s mind was cranky but then his cellphone rang. Casually bowing his head to take a look, he saw it was a call from Nanny Chen.

“Hello!”

“Young master, you finally answered the phone. What happened these past few days. Not even leaving a message, the old master called me several times.”

“Chasing girls!”

“Oh, oh, because of a girl, ah, chasing girls…that won’t do, Tingting is a good girl, you cannot make the wrong choice.”

“I know, is there anything else?”

“When will you return? I’ll let the kitchen prepare your favorites. Really, how can you not say a word when going out. Wang Xuebing is not sensible. And his job it to protect the young master, how can he act on his own…”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. Tomorrow I am going to go travel, but tonight I will be back.”

“What? Travel? Why didn’t you say so earlier, I’ll have someone prepare for you.”

“I told my father.”

“Then…ah, this time you have to have more people…”

“No, taking just Wang Xuebing is fine. I quite like him, and it’s uncomfortable with a lot of people.”

“That simply won’t do…”

Bai Jing hung up the phone right away. He thought he could endure things to the very end only to find that he did not have such a good conservation. He never knew Zhu Ting and Nanny Chen actually built up a rapport, but it is no wonder. Zhu Ting is the daughter of the Deputy Mayor, so Nanny Chen making friends with these people is reasonable; it was just for mutual benefit.

Bai Jing sneered. Better put these troubles aside, for these were insignificant people after all. Why waste his mind on people he doesn’t care for, as long as he keeps Xiao Sa in mind. If it weren’t for his mother’s relics, he wouldn’t have wanted to return to the villa tonight. In his previous life, he lost his mother’s relics because of his spatial mutation. In this life, he vowed to keep them well-preserved.

“Young master wants to go travel? “Wang Xuebing said hesitantly. He also only head just now, so he was completely unprepared.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Jing voiced his doubts. Wang Xuebing rarely showed such an expression, so he holds a little curiosity.

Wang Xuebing hesitated for a moment: “If young master decides to go travel, can Cao Lei follow?”

“Him?” Bai Jing frowned. Thinking of this brought unhappy memories, for he had been left in the wilderness by Cao Lei.

“No?” Wang Xuebing was disappointed and lowered his eyes but did not say anything more.

“It is not impossible.” Bai Jing felt odd. When did the relationship between Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei become so good? But adding another person to the team does not matter. Cao Lei, although Bai Jing only slightly trusted him, at least Cao did not harm him. At most, he didn’t care about Bai. It is much better than having Nanny Chen and his father force him to have more bodyguards. Putting aside the feelings of his grudge, Cao Lei is also a good candidate, better than those who eat outside the climb.

“Thank you, Master.” Wang Xuebing’s eyes and mouth curved into a happy smile. With that fresh smile hanging upon his face, watching it can only make people happy.

Some people are born with this kind of sunny temperament. After experiencing the end of the world, only seeing people’s numb expressions, at this time seeing this sunny smile, Bai Jing suddenly felt that bringing Cao Lei actually was not bad.

Before long, the bookstore finally sent the books. Moving them into the room already took up half the place, but Bai Jing had Wang Xuebing leave first to get gasoline, then pick him up downstairs.

Wang Xuebing looked at the house full of books tongue-tied because there were even more than he imagined.

Bai Jing stared at him: “You thought I bought these on a whim?”

Wang Xuebing suddenly realized, but in his mind he already knew, the young master is not the kind of person that loved to read, and these books also spanned different topics.

Bai Jing waited until he left, then picked out a few books to read. All the rest were placed in the storage dimension, and the snacks he bought were also put into it. When everything was done, he directly call the front desk. He booked the Presidential Suite because it was his father who was paying using the country’s money. Bai Jing is not reluctant, since if he waits a few months, nobody would pay attention to these disappearing funds.

When the two ate dinner, it was almost eight o’clock in the evening. Bai Jing saw the time was getting late, so he had Wang Xuebing drive back home. Upon hearing the sound of the car, Nanny Chen quickly greeted them, and with a look of love at Bai Jing: “This child, why did you come back so late. I had the kitchen prepare some food, and it’s been waiting for you.”

“I already ate, so I’ll go back to my room. Tomorrow, Wang Xuebing, Cao Lei and I leave.” Bai Jing said faintly and left the living room. He really did not want to talk nonsense with her, as now is not the time to be ripped apart. Otherwise he really wanted to slam her in the face. How would she be able to stay as if nothing had happened, loaded as she was.

“How can two people be enough? Or bring Qi Jun, too. Qi Jun is a calm man, has a sense of responsibility, and if he followed you, I can rest assured.”

Bai Jing suddenly felt amused. If previously he heard this, he would think Nanny Chen cared for him. Qi Jun was a veteran, agile, good at shooting, and had worked for that woman’s elder brother. To do things for themselves, that woman is really loaded.

These are things he later learned. When he arrived in B city, those who once were his bodyguards had a good future in the military.  After dad gave up on him and Nanny Chen’s betrayal, what could he not deduce?

In fact, he may also be fortunate that his father is now a big official, or else he may not have lived to be eighteen years old.

“No, he’s always gloomy, and I dislike him. I want to travel, not have him make me sick.” Bai Jing furrows his brow disdainfully. Anyway, he has always been headstrong, so with such a rebuttal, Nanny Chen would most likely be convinced.

Nanny Chen hesitated a moment: “Otherwise, bring Wang Xia .”

Bai Jing sneered. She really did not give up, so he intolerably waved: “Do not bother, I’m going upstairs.”

Nanny Chen’s heart jumped. The young master has never used this tone to speak to her, the young master with no parents around him, who depended on her. She turned around to look at Wang Xuebing, flat face trying to ask a question when Bai Jing ‘s voice came from upstairs: “You and Cao Lei prepare something. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

Wang Xuebing looked as if he got a special amnesty, and with no pause, he quickly left the hall.

Nanny Chen’s face darkened and then looked up throughout the luxurious hall to see Bai Jing standing on the second floor. Worried, she asked: ” Young master, you are not in any trouble? Will Tingting travel, too? Two bodyguards is really not enough, all I’ve done is for your own good.”

“Already broke up.” Bai Jing lightly said and turned back to the room. Closing the door with a “Click!” he secretly thought, this time she should let go.

Turned out to be a quarrel with his girlfriend, so Nanny Chen was relieved. Never mind the young master’s bad temper today, she was thinking it was just tourism only. The young master will soon be starting school but she did not send people to follow. The lady wouldn’t blame her.

In fact, she was also very difficult to keep happy. The master protects the young master, yet the wife must also know all the movements of young master, must not let the young master have good fortune, but also can not let him have any accidents, otherwise the master will get angry. Whatever luck the lady has, she doesn’t know, but they, the servants, certainly will not have good fruit to eat.

After returning to his room, Bai Jing locked the door. Looking around to the left corner, there sat a 3 foot tall safe. Keying in the well memorized password, with a “Pui”, the door opened. Bai Jing’s pupils suddenly contracted, like a cat’s eyes, they become a long narrow line. His first reaction was that, this could not be!

The safe was empty. Besides a machete, there was nothing else.

Where were mother’s relics?

Bai Jing’s face became livid, only feeling his blood boil up. He was furious, an indescribable anger churning in his chest, no, not quite!

Just then, he calmed down. Besides himself, no one knew what that password was. The things inside could not have been taken away by others, and he remembers very clearly, in the last life when the outbreak occurred, the things in the safe were still intact.

This machete…

Bai Jing slowly stretched out his hand and gently wiped the machete on his hand. The perfect  handle and scabbard, gave off a simple and old atmosphere. Cold and sacred, he pulled the blade out from the scabbard. The blade flashed, showing its restrained magnificence. The blade’s curvature turned upwards elegantly, followed by a thinner aft end, and if he remembered right, this machete was mistakenly lost in his confrontation with the zombie. That is, out of his mother’s relics, it was the only thing that didn’t disappear after the mutation of the hidden dimension.

Inside his heart there definitely was disappointment, loss, bitterness, regret, but all are not worth Bai Jing’s shock to the heart. Never had he been like this. It was clear that he was born again, that this was not a dream nor a parallel world, but a real jump back in time because it was the same dimension so what was lost will not come back.

Crystal tears ran down his face. Bai Jing cried and laughed, though he thought he would not cry. He was glad everything has not happened, that there was still time to change. Just thinking of his mother’s relics, Bai Jing’s heart was saddened. Sadly hanging his head, he tightly held the knife in his arms, for this was the only thing he yearned.

Mother was D University’s school flower, but unfortunately her lifelong mistake was meeting his father. All she had left were relics, his grandfather’s entire collection of antiques from throughout his life, but it was all gone now…

Bai Jing bowed with a bitter smile, suddenly feeling a bit hypocritical. In fact, those things were already gone from his previous life, right?

Wrapped up in a good mood, Bai Jing sent the machete into the dimension. At least he has it as a souvenir!

When it was night, he thought he would toss and turn all night long, but he did not expect he would have a good night’s sleep. How long had it been since he had such peaceful sleep, such deep sleep. After the outbreak, around five years before his death, he never seemed to have had such a stable sleep, either, so he really wanted to cuddle the bed!

But…

Thinking of those spying eyes downstairs, within his smile was hidden concern about the blade. He did not want to stay in this house for another moment.

He quickly finished grooming, went downstairs, where Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei had been waiting to follow him. Nanny Chen kept talking, with a few words of blame from time to time.

Wang Xuebing kept his head nodding, Cao Lei slovenly crossed his legs, loosing a nasty laugh. His pair of dark eyes randomly looked around, not knowing how much of Nanny Chen’s words got into his ears. Seeing Bai Jing arrive, his eyes brightened. He stood up, chest quite straight as if to salute: ” Yong master -”

When Wang Xuebing heard this voice, and his eyes begging for help swept over.

Nanny Chen got angry at once. She was not very satisfied with these two bodyguards. They normally had not a positive attitude nor discipline. Not waiting for her to say anything, Cao Lei asked: “Where would young master like to go? Would you like me to book a ticket?”

Wang Xuebing kept down his head. Just remembering the trip they went on yesterday, he had forgotten this very important issue.

Nanny Chen was dumbfounded. Bai Jing looked at her. Didn’t she always claim to care about him? So many obvious things that he did not think clearly over in his past life, how foolish he was in his previous life, for he had only her as a family. Since his mother died when he was seven, she had been always by his side…

Bai Jing faintly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Wang Xuebing, directly ignoring Cao Lei: “We’ll travel with the car, drive there.” That car was bought to gain Zhu Ting’s favor, but it was only used once. Now, it would be put to good use.

Wang Xuebing mouth formed an “O.”  Before, when young master traveled, if it wasn’t for significant landscapes, then it was for sightseeing abroad. Each time he showed that big style, comfortable, carefree, excited, he had long admired this sort of job. He thought he could help Cao Lei win an enjoyable job. Traveling by car, Wang Xuebing’s heart was cool as stone. and now there were only three of them. Wherever the young master wanted to go, the hard part was on the two of them drivers…

Although he was very fond of cars, but traveling with this car needed being on the road for many days. No one could stand that, so who the hell had the mood to see the scenery. Wang Xuebing just felt fooled!

Cao Lei pursed his lips. Compared to how the young master announced travel by car, he was more concerned about the young master’s attitude. Just when did the young master treat Wang Xuebing differently, nor did he offend him yet. Feeling something strange was on mind, this was quite puzzling…

Nanny Chen tried to speak but ultimately did not say anything against those words, only telling: “I wish young master a happy time. Eat breakfast and then go, pay attention to safety on the road, and don’t forget to call back home. Right in September is school, so you cannot be late. Beginning college means becoming an adult.No need for you to take too much notice of Tingting, for I will help you lecture her. Our Little Jing is a man she can rely on.”

Bai Jing did not know how to act. If this was spoken in his last life, he certainly would be shy, would feel awkward. He grew up without parents and would very much like to hear this faint concern, but falsity is false. Nanny Chen should know that with a car, the distance travel would not be far, so she would be assured.

“From now on, do not care for that woman. She really thinks she’s something important. Let’s go.” Bai Jing faintly finished. Directly having Cao Lei drive, he threw his luggage to Wang Xuebing. With a little travel bag, in addition to daily necessities there were only a few books inside.

Nanny Chen saw him out the door. Once Wang Xuebing was in the car, he was full of excitement. What a great car, the whole thing had been modified. The trunk was not large being only 30 square meters, but it had everything. As luxurious as a small suite, the car had anti-vibration. When sitting inside, you won’t feel any shaking, just like when on a train. Tut! Richer people get everything, just being a chauffeur is no good at all.

“Now, where to?” Cao Lei’s lazy voice passed over.

Bai Jing felt very puzzled. This guy was apparently carefree, so how could he be a bodyguard? He was even sent by his father specifically, that is, recommended by a professional.

Not understanding it, he thought no more of it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. Opening the map to see the route: “Meal first, you’re ordering, and then we go to Qingquan County.

“How about Xianzhi Restaurant?” Cao Lei thought about the young master’s preferences, refusing to say anything about his choices. Knowing Bai Jing was not fond of him, all he needed to do was obediently drive on the road.

“Do as you like!” Bai Jing finished. Lazily leaning against the sofa, he took out a fantasy novel and began to read.

Wang Xuebing stared and was quite choked. Qingquan County is the first town not far from D City. What were they doing there.

But no matter what he thought, no one would answer. Bai Jing’s mind had long since been in the book, and to tell the truth, this man made utter chaos of the story. He looked really bored, but for that magical imagination, he had only admiration. Although he could now use the hidden dimension, humans still could not enter. Fortunately psychic power can be manipulated in it, or else such large tracts of land could only be seen and never used. That would be awful.

And he also wanted to look for inspiration from the novel. Maybe in some cases he would be able to have some breakthrough by those characters. Anyways, since those two were here, he did not have the leisure to read the medical books. He could only read at night in the room. From the way here to Huangshan, where there was a big distance and while collecting materials on the road, until they arrived at Huangshan, he thought he should be able to clearly remember the force points to the human body and be able to trace all the meridians!

Arriving at Xianzhi restaurant, Cao Lei took the lead to open the door, responsibly taking an “After you,” sort of motion.

Bai Jing was not unaccustomed to this. He slowly exited the car, with a graceful gait, appropriately tailored clothes, his posture tall and straight. Bright and white was his face, revealing its cold and proud angles, an arrogant look in his eyes that seemed to see no one. All without exception, he made no attempt to downplay his grandeur.

Even Wang Xuebing had to give him praise. A noble is a noble, and the laypeople were afraid that they could not imitate this sort of excellence…

Only just having arrived at the first floor lobby, Bai Jing had become the focus of attention.

People who knew him greeted him with a smile: “Master Jing.”

Bai Jing frowned, and directly scaled the stairs to his private room. He did not understand why in his previous life he liked to be in crowded cluster, and always showed off his extraordinary, I-don’t-know-what-low-key is attitude, as if pride had dripped into his bones.

Bai Jing gave a self-deprecating smile. In fact, it was his self-esteem, wasn’t it? Though his dad was great, the truth was, he was nothing but an illegitimate child.

“Master Jing, long time no see.” One with elegant looks, a man had on a pair of gold wire glasses, approached them.

Bai Jing looked at him and nodded.

That man did not care about Bai Jing’s coldness. He gently laughed: “Master Jing, the person you sent last time has already left. Before, he wanted contact information, but without Master Jing’s permission, I could not give out any. Are you having a meal? Mind if I join you?

Bai Jing was puzzled. What person?

Cao Lei then reminded him: “Last Saturday, Hong Lai Street, a man.”

Hung Lai Street? What man? Bai Jing thought for a moment, but he still did not remember. For them, it was perhaps a few days ago, but for him, it was five years ago, and last Sunday he only just woke up from bed. Things that long ago, who could remember that clearly.

“It seems that Master Jing has forgotten, but fortunately I did not make a decision. I thought that you knew each other.” He Yong gave a faint smile. He was not the slightest embarrassed by the lack of a reply, and he actually seemed to have found firm footing
