"Oh, don't ask, this matter must be kept secret!"

After giving a few instructions, the director returned to his office.

I have such bad luck today. I wish I could have rested at home.

Qin Yue took An Ning's household registration booklet and went directly to the post office and mailed it away.

"You're moving too fast. Didn't you discuss this with An Ning?"

Bai Jingxing, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but complain.

"I never knew you were so domineering!"

After glancing at Bai Jingxing, Qin Yue was too lazy to say anything and walked straight out of the main entrance of the post office.

He didn't expect that the household registration issue would go so smoothly.

Thanks also to Zhong Wen’s proof.

It seems that he really should know more about Lingyang County.

Before, he thought he wouldn't stay here for long.

After all, the exploration team will have to leave sooner or later.

But now I see, there's nothing wrong with staying here.

The emperor is far away and no one can control him.

Most importantly, his little girl is here.

Thinking of this, I greeted my friends in a good mood.

"Okay, let's go."

"You haven't answered my question yet, where are we going now?"

"Of course, I'll buy some high-quality medicinal herbs for the little girl to replenish her body."

The money given by Bai Jingxing is not even warm yet.

Qin Yue spent eight or nine hundred yuan on it.

The main purpose was to buy a wild ginseng and other precious medicinal herbs.

He had heard the girl mention that her body was very weak and needed precious medicinal herbs to replenish her health.

That's why I think about making money.

But the Chinese medicine shops in the county town are a bit small after all, and the precious medicinal materials are not so complete.

It seems that he has to take some time to go to the provincial capital.

On the contrary, Bai Jingxing wanted to say something when he saw his friend bought so many medicinal herbs, but he held back.

"Ningning, are you awake?"

Hearing Grandma Zhao's voice, An Ning slowly opened her eyes and saw a bright light.

Then I saw Grandma Zhao looking at me with a look of heartache on her face.

"Hey, grandma, I'm fine. I just took a nap."

I didn't want to make the other person worry, so I just made up a lie.

The more this happened, the more Zhao Shufen felt sorry for her granddaughter.

"Tell me, why don't you take care of your body? You know you are weak, but you still do harm to yourself."

Zhao Shufen pretended to be angry and glared at the girl on the kang, then took a porcelain bowl from the kang table.

"Come on, let's drink this first."

The medicine she had just prepared was a bit bitter, but it could cure the disease.

As soon as the medicine bowl was handed to me, a unique fishy and bitter smell of Chinese medicine suddenly rushed into my nose.

An Ning couldn't help but coughed violently a few times.

"What's going on?"

"Grandma, it's okay."

An Ning grabbed the other person's hand, took the bowl of medicine, closed her eyes, pinched her nose, and drank it all in one gulp.

Chinese medicine is really unpalatable, but it cures diseases.

Her health is in terrible condition. If she doesn't take care of herself, she will die before she gets married and has children.

"Eat this."

An Ning grinned and was about to lie down when she saw a candy appear in front of her.

"I know you're afraid of hardship, so I bought it for you in advance."

Zhao Shufen really treats An Ning as her granddaughter. In fact, she also wants to recognize this granddaughter.

I guess God has fulfilled her most humble wish as she grows old.

No matter how they were when they were young, in the end, their sons, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters are all gone.

She is now an elderly widower and wants someone to accompany her in her later years.

"Thank you grandma."

An Ning took the candy and put it into his mouth. In an instant, the bitter taste of the Chinese medicine was diluted a lot.

I feel much better too.

"Grandma, could you get me a pen and a piece of paper?"

"What are you going to do if you don't take a good rest?"

Although there was a hint of blame in his tone, he was reluctant to let his granddaughter suffer.

Take paper and pen from the kang cabinet next to you.

An Ning lay in the quilt, spread the paper on the kang, and drew on it.

At first, Aunt Zhao really couldn't tell what the other person was drawing.

But as I drew more and more, I finally felt that it was no longer in vain.

"Ningning, what a muddy mountain you painted!"

Having lived at the foot of Hunshan Mountain for so many years, I have some understanding of Hunshan Mountain.

Especially the natural moat of Hunshan Mountain.

When it first appeared, it shocked the people in the surrounding areas.

People say that Hunshan has stood for so many years, and the sudden appearance of a natural moat must have destroyed its feng shui.

That is why the people living at the foot of Hunshan Mountain are becoming poorer and poorer.

Especially in recent years, not only are the people poor, but even the weather is against them.

The amount of food harvested in autumn became less and less, and various disasters followed one after another.

Either there is drought or there is insect plague.

There was even one year when, in July, when all the seedlings were growing vigorously, it rained for more than twenty days in a row.

This is extremely rare weather in the inland Northeast.

So that autumn harvest that year, there was almost no yield.

Many people starved to death because they did not have enough food.

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhao pointed to the natural chasm.

"Ningning, why did you draw this? It's so unlucky!"

No profit?

After hearing what Grandma Zhao said, An Ning thought that the other party was pointing to the wrong place, and then looked carefully.

Seeing that the other party was indeed referring to the natural chasm, he was very confused for a moment.

"Grandma, what's wrong with this natural chasm?"

She went up the mountain that day to calculate the locations of mineral deposits. Using a simple compass, she roughly deduced that there were only a few best mineral deposits.

This includes natural barriers.

But now, why does the other person look so ugly?

"Oh, anyway, it's unlucky. Don't mention the chasm to anyone else when you get out."

Aunt Zhao was afraid that An Ning would be stubborn, so she explained a few more words.

All the bad luck that happened in the past few years was blamed on the sudden appearance of the natural barrier.

Don’t blame the people for thinking this way.

In 83, we had to rely on the weather for our livelihood.

Whenever the harvest is poor, we always have to find the reason.

The sudden natural barrier became the scapegoat.

At this moment, An Ning heard what her grandma said and nodded slowly.

Although I had already refuted the other party's words in my mind, I still thought I should think it over carefully in case there really was a problem.

Mining is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly.

An old man and a young boy were chatting happily in the house.

On the other side, Qin Zhenyue and Bai Jingxing returned to Zhaojiatun exhausted.

After parking the bicycle in the yard, Qin Yue carried the medicinal herbs, fruits, meat, eggs, refined rice and flour he had bought into the house.

In the kitchen, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but marvel when she saw Qin Zhenyue placing food in the dish rack and the basket beside her.

"How much did you buy? Oh my God, Captain Qin, how did you buy so many good medicines?"

As a qualified Chinese medicine doctor, there are strict requirements for Chinese medicinal materials.

When Zhao Shufen saw the medicinal herbs Qin Yue bought, her eyes lit up.

"This is real wild ginseng, it's not cheap!"

"There are actually hundreds of years old Polygonum multiflorum..."

Aunt Zhao counted each medicinal ingredient carefully and discovered that they were all used to nourish her granddaughter's body.
