Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 765: Chapter 99: Telepathy via Brainwaves (Part 2)

"Xiao Xian," Zhou Ziang called out to Xiao Xian, as the green line spiked high, followed by the red line dancing non-stop on the brainwave monitor. The two curves, intermingling red and green, high and low, created a striking contrast.

"What’s going on?" Xiao Xian looked towards Xiao Que on the hospital bed. She strained to move her eyeballs and her lips trembled as if she were trying to say something.

"What happened? What’s this device all about?" Mei Nian strolled over, eyeing the brainwave reading device.

"It’s a new piece of equipment used for measuring heart rate and blood pressure. Seeing you all here, the ward is so lively, Xiao Que seems pretty happy," Zhou Ziang squeezed Xiao Xian’s hand, signaling her not to say too much.

"That’s good to hear. I have a strong affinity with Xiao Que, so if you need anything in the future, just contact me." Mei Nian smiled warmly and then taking Xiao Xian’s hand, said, "Xiao Xian, your Uncle Yu is going to take charge of the new research center for species studies at the South Campus of Huake Institute soon, and I’ve also promised to help cultivate some herbs there. We’ll have the chance to meet then."

"South Campus? That’s great. I’ve also got some questions about species studies; now I can ask Uncle Yu when the time comes. Uncle Mei, how’s the business at the pharmacy recently?" Xiao Xian looked at Mei Nian. She had heard from Pharmacist Huang Yaoshi that Mei Nian was restructuring the pharmacy recently, even clearing out many medicinal materials and staff.

"It’s doing alright. The herbs you brought last time were pretty good. Could you bring some more over? Also, I heard you are handling the situation in Cherry Valley. I’m planning to go there this afternoon; do you want to join me?" Mei Nian had seen the medicinal materials Xiao Xian had brought for Pharmacist Huang Yaoshi and they were indeed "quite good."

"Sure, I haven’t been to the valley to help Sister-in-law Hua and the others for a while. Uncle Mei, do you remember what happened in the cellar?" Xiao Xian suddenly changed the topic.

"Cellar? What cellar?" Mei Nian, upon hearing this, showed a moment of confusion on his face, which quickly returned to normal. "You know, after what happened to me on Changbai Mountain, the doctors said I’ve recovered, but I’ve forgotten some past events. If you want to talk to me about something, you’ll have to start from the beginning."

"Oh, I see," Xiao Xian smiled, "then I’ll come to the pharmacy this afternoon to find you. Uncle Yu, let me know when you’re heading to Huake Institute, just give me a call in advance."

After Yu Gang and Mei Nian left, Xiao Xian sat beside Xiao Que’s bed and took her hand.

Xiao Que’s hand was ice cold. After Mei Nian held her hand earlier, he hadn’t placed it back under the covers.

"Something’s off. If it isn’t a problem with the brainwave reader, then something must have happened in the depths of Snow Gully between Uncle Mei and Xiao Que," Xiao Xian said gravely. Mei Nian claimed to have forgotten some things, but even with a lot of memory loss, Mei Nian wouldn’t have forgotten about the incident in the cellar since it carried the memories of her and Mei Xiang. And then there was that bottle of "Fate" perfume.

"You suspect Senior Mei caused Xiao Que to end up like this?" Zhou Ziang expressed doubts about Xiao Xian’s speculation.

"I’m not sure, but when Uncle Mei spoke to me just now, both his tone and gestures were much more polite than before," Mei Nian’s manner towards Xiao Xian was never that of an elder to a junior, otherwise he wouldn’t have piled all the affairs of Cherry Valley solely on Xiao Xian.

"Let’s do this: I’ll ask around to see if it’s possible to borrow more advanced equipment. When you go to Cherry Valley with Senior Mei this afternoon, be a little more vigilant and careful," the readings from scientific devices may not always be correct, so they must be combined with other methods.

That was the best plan Xiao Xian could come up with for now. Before leaving 411 Hospital, Xiao Xian asked Zhou Ziang about some knowledge regarding Beastmen.

"You’ve got a friend who’s a Beastman?" Zhou Ziang was slightly surprised to hear that the tall girl he had encountered at Sacred Heart Middle School was a Lizard Man.

"Sort of an accidental Beastman. You’ve spent time abroad, have you ever seen anyone with a similar Beastman lineage? Does he have a family or children?" Xiao Xian still wanted to make an effort, hoping to lend Yiyi a hand if possible.

"I know a Beastman named Quinn, but we’re not particularly close. After my contract with Si Yiyi Hospital ends mid-year, I could help you inquire when I go to the company headquarters in the United States," Zhou Ziang’s impression of Quinn was of someone with volatile moods but broadly generous, and without much sense of nationality, unlike many researchers at Mengshan Company who were xenophobic.

Hearing that Zhou Ziang was going back to the United States made Xiao Xian fall silent; she had forgotten that the other party was a returnee from abroad and didn’t stay in the country long-term.

"If you’re interested, you could also try out for a position at Mengshan Company. Your skills and talent in cultivation are quite extraordinary." On this visit, Xiao Xian had brought Zhou Ziang ten Purple Ginseng plants, the quality of which was almost the same as those he had initially planted in the Gold Grade Space.

"Let’s not. The first rule of admission to Huake Institute is love for the country and party, and besides, I don’t have any experience abroad, so it’s better to stay in China," Xiao Xian forced a smile, "I’ll go check on my aunt; please take care of Xiao Que for now."

Hearing the two talking, the eyeballs of Xiao Que in the bed moved slightly.

After seeing Zhuo Feng, Xiao Xian went to the Agricultural Specialty Store. Recently, since Feng Xing was busy taking care of Zhuo Feng, the store was left to Mao Dazhu to manage. It had been a while since Xiao Xian had heard that talkative old man’s chatter, and she found herself missing it.

"Hey, young girl, I’m glad you finally made it here." Mao Dazhu raised his voice upon seeing Xiao Xian: "Perfect timing, that lad named Li Ye left a phone number, said if you come by, contact him immediately." (To be continued.
