Chapter 76: The moon wanes when at full, water overflows when too full.
Upon opening the box, Lin Chuxia immediately noticed its contents—a small stack of at least a dozen handwritten prescriptions.
"Master..." Lin Chuxia didn’t know what to say. These items could be considered what Old Sir He cared about the most, and now they were all to be given to her.
Old Sir He frowned, "Lose that look; I’m not dead yet. These things aren’t worth much. They’re just taking up space at home. Take them with you. If you feel like it, you can take a look. If not, just use them to start a fire when cooking meat. Just hurry up and take them away."
Lin Chuxia chuckled, put the medical books back in the box, and lifted the entire thing, "Then I might really use them to start a fire, Master, you better not feel heartbroken."
"Go on, get out of here. You’re starting to be a pain to look at," Old Master He shooed her away.
"Alright then, I’m really going. Don’t regret it later, Master. Rest assured, after I stew the meat, I’ll bring some over for you to taste. Let’s see if the meat cooked with medical books as kindling tastes the same as before."
Lin Chuxia said this as she ran out. As she passed through the doorway, a shoe flew out after her.
Laughter echoed in the courtyard; Old Sir He couldn’t help but laugh too as he watched from behind the glass.
Lin Chuxia carried the box back to the office in her small courtyard. She took out the medical books and flipped through them; she couldn’t recognize many of the traditional characters, so she simply put them aside.
She then took out the stack of prescriptions and noticed that the papers used were clearly of varying ages.
