Song Tan's Notes

For city kids, River Beach Ranch doesn't need to do anything to win them over.

I didn't even have time to go to the pasture. All I saw was this dense lotus pond, the sweet flag with its faint fragrance, the green reeds that hadn't grown up yet, and the majestic white geese leading a flock of ducks...

There's also the Chinese Merganser, a national champion among the ducks, sporting a traditional Chinese ink painting-style coat.

Good guy!
Everyone was petting the big and small dogs with one hand and taking videos and photos with their phones with the other. The children were wading and touching the mud at the edge of the lotus pond, shouting and cheering from time to time, and pulling out a few snails.

Qiaoqiao took the small basket from it, and before they knew it, they had filled half a basket.

Qin Beibei stared at it curiously and asked, "Brother Qiaoqiao, can this be used to make snail rice noodles?"

Qiaoqiao looked at the basket: "There don't seem to be any snails in the snail rice noodles..."

He shook his head: "No, this is too big. It won't taste good for making snail rice noodles. I'll smash it up and feed it to Dabai and the ducks later."

They love eating this.

Those majestic geese seem even more beautiful than the swans in the park! Eating snails is only right!

The children got even more excited and waded into the water, huffing and puffing through the smelly mud.

"Won't I get athlete's foot?"

"Won't the scratch get infected?" The children's parents were a little worried.

On the contrary, the grandparents, who always dote on their grandchildren, were very relaxed: "If they get athlete's foot, how will they manage to plant rice in the paddy fields every year? If you are strong, you are less likely to have these problems."

Besides, stepping on mud isn't like stepping on a pile of dung.

Ulan, however, understood the meticulous way people raise children nowadays, and quickly added:

"It's alright. We'll go to Dr. Guo's place tonight to familiarize ourselves with the way and pick up a few more medicine packets while we're at it."

"After taking a bath at night, soak in a big tub. It dispels the cold and invigorates the yang energy..."

In modern terms, it boosts immunity and disinfects. The main ingredient is mugwort, which doesn't smell bad and doesn't harm the skin.

If that's the case—even the adults are getting restless.

Putting everything else aside, their suites do have bathtubs, and they even have disposable bathtub liners...

Seeing everyone crowding around to ask detailed questions, Wulan was suddenly filled with pride: "We have everything! We'll arrange it all!"

……

Dr. Guo was surprised to receive such a large business deal so late at night.

There may not be much money, or even any money at all, but there are a lot of people!

They look like they have exceptional medical skills.

In fact, she knew in her heart that although the prescription had been adjusted by several teachers, the real key to its effectiveness was still the medicinal herbs from Old Song's family.

He then smiled and said, "The adults didn't play in the water much, so let's not rush to buy medicine packets. I'll give each of the children three packets first."

"After three days of soaking, sweating, astringing, and calming the mind, let's see how the sleep and energy levels are before making any further decisions."

What you said makes a lot of sense, and the doctor is very ethical.

But the problem is-

"This packet of medicine costs 80 yuan!"

The three children have already given away 1,800 to 1,000 yuan.

Judging from online prices, this is definitely expensive. After all, you can buy a big bag of other foot bath packs or bath packs for 20 or 30 yuan, which contain 10 or 20 packets of medicinal herbs.

But then again, what kind of medicinal herbs are so cheap these days?

Since we're already here, and the mugwort ointment is so effective, who knows how good the mugwort herbal sachets will be!
With that in mind, everyone discussed it at once and quickly came up with a plan: "Let's each get a pack first."

Kids don't understand sleep or mental well-being; adults have to experience it for them. And who isn't interested in health and wellness these days?
Qin Yun's father also asked, "Can I use cupping on this? I'd like to get cupping done in the summer."

Dr. Guo laughed: "Let's schedule a time in the next couple of days for everyone to come together so I can take your pulses and check on you properly. If cupping is necessary, we'll do cupping; if acupuncture is necessary, we'll do acupuncture; and if medication is necessary, we'll give you your medication."

"As long as you are willing to follow the doctor's advice and stay here for half a month, I guarantee that your body will recover smoothly."

Even if some old ailments cannot be completely cured, they can be greatly improved.

That's how it happened...

Dr. Guo flipped through her appointment list:
"I have an interview the day after tomorrow morning, and I've already canceled all my sick leave appointments. If you don't mind having someone supervise me during my internship, how about the day after tomorrow morning?"

That would be great!
To be honest, Master Chai and his apprentice also need it!

Everyone felt they had learned a lot, and they were still chatting on the way back:

"Farming, seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and fortune telling—we've got two of those things going for us in this village. It would be really interesting if we could find a fortune teller who could accurately predict the future."

Ulan said mysteriously, "Yes, there's a blind old woman in our town who's said to be very accurate at fortune telling. I heard that she had a serious illness when she was fifty, and when she woke up, she could see things again!"

"But she can't read! She can only sing! As long as she understands it, she can remember it."

Really?!

The women instantly became interested and instinctively gathered around. Ulan, her enthusiasm growing, exclaimed, "But!"

"I don't think it's reliable!"

"The old woman used to be sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, and she tormented her daughter-in-law. It was only after the daughter-in-law fought with her that she went back to town."

"If I really had such a great skill, then I'm not a bad person either, so why didn't God teach me it?"

"I don't think I can believe it."

Moreover, her mother seemed thoughtful: "Maybe she's not the same person she used to be. God made her suddenly realize things so that she could accumulate good karma..."

Everyone started discussing it animatedly, and the topic had shifted from "Is it true?" to "I know so-and-so," "I heard about so-and-so," and so on.

Lu Chuan listened with a smile, then took out his phone: "A while ago, the Yuncheng Public Security Bureau's official WeChat account published an article about an old lady who pretended to be blind and acted as a fortune teller..."

"I heard that they initially used software for calculating Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) charts."

"It has developed in the last two years and has also incorporated AI..."

As for why it was reported and then discovered?

It's because AI can make up nonsense in a serious manner, and nine times out of ten it sounds plausible, but the last time it can turn into utter rubbish...

The person whose zodiac sign was all messed up looked back and thought: "Huh, that's not my zodiac sign. How could I get even this wrong?"

That's when suspicion arose.

In these kinds of situations, once suspicion arises, everything becomes a flaw, and the person who reported it will be furious and file a complaint first.

Lu Chuan opened the WeChat official account's section, and everyone swarmed around it, reading it word by word, occasionally making comments...

Anyway!

"Most of these are fake. If you really want to calculate it, I can use AI to do it for you. It can be quite interesting in many ways..."

Song Tan touched her nose: It's not entirely false, she does know a little bit.

And it's quite accurate, no fluff.

This is it, this is the question I can ask...

She wisely kept quiet. (End of Chapter)
