In the book, I was fed by my sister

There are many second-rate people in Lihua Village.

For some families, their ancestors were lazy people, and they were not diligent from generation to generation, so that the fields at home were abandoned. By their generation, they were also the type of people who worked for three days and rested for two days. Occasionally they wanted to work in the fields, but when they saw the rusty hoe, they immediately lost interest.

There are also some families where someone is addicted to gambling and has lost all the family land and homesteads. Now, facing a penniless family, they can't even afford the money to open up the land and buy seeds.

What's worse, there are some people who are originally bad people. They are idle all day long and indulge in bad behaviors such as gambling, alcoholism, fighting, etc. They wander around the village every day, saying dirty words, and making the girls unhappy is their happiest thing.

Today was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. However, a few bad-tempered scoundrels gathered together to make trouble for the newly appointed village chief. They saw the village chief's younger sister playing in the mud at the door from a distance.

Song Li was squatting at the door, concentrating on planting the newly discovered plants.

A nightshade flower and a croton tree.

One is a knockout drug and the other is a laxative.

Song Li had never heard of these wonderful plants. If Qin Shiyao hadn't mentioned them, she might never have known that there were such things in the world.

Qin Shiyao's grandfather was a village doctor who knew more about plants than anyone else in the village, so Qin Shiyao also inherited some of this knowledge to a greater or lesser extent.

Dong Mei went to school with Qin Shiyao and often saw him tinkering with some strange things and then selling them to other students in the school.

Recently, Mr. Jia's grandson has become obsessed with the martial arts stories in comic books. But this kid is a little special. While others admire the chivalrous heroes, he is quite interested in the various despicable means in the books, especially the things like the soul-stirring incense and the knockout drug.

Qin Shiyao knew about this and immediately had an idea in his mind: give him what he wanted! So he decided to give a knockout drug to Jia Yuanwai's grandson.

But the problem was that his grandfather had a very strict control over the medicinal materials, and Qin Shiyao could only get a little bit of the residue each time.

Just when Qin Shiyao was worried about this matter, a figure suddenly emerged in his mind. That was Li Dongmei, who had once sold wild hawthorns to him.

Qin Shiyao guessed that Li Dongmei, or more precisely, Li Dongmei's gang would sneak into the mountains from time to time, so perhaps they could help find them.

When Qin Shiyao found Li Dongmei and explained his intentions to her, her eyes lit up and she immediately expressed her willingness to help. After all, this was a good opportunity to make money. Qin Shiyao also readily promised to give her a generous reward after the success.

Li Dongmei was very excited after receiving Qin Shiyao's promise. She turned around and told Song Li and others the news.

Song Li had long wanted to visit the Qin family's medicine shop, or to be more precise, she wanted to listen to Qin Shiyao's explanation of medicinal materials. Song Li wanted to know what the nightshade flower looked like, so she was taken to their medicine shop by Qin Shiyao.

It was also at this time that she learned that there were medical books in the world that recorded the medicinal properties of thousands of plants.

Maybe there are some in the end times, but she has never been to a big base and doesn’t know many things.

Song Li wanted to borrow the book for observation, but Qin Shiyao told her that his medical books were not available for loan.

That was his grandfather's grandfather, passed down from generation to generation. It belonged to their Qin family. Even he, Qin Shiyao, had to read it in the presence of his grandfather.

Song Li nodded and understood. She would have to find a chance to take a sneak peek.

Now, she only needs to get the plant seeds that Qin Shiyao needs, plant them on her land, and then sell them to Qin Shiyao when the time comes.

Song Li was digging the soil hard, and the sunlight above his head was blocked.

"Tell my brothers, where is your sister?"

Song Li slowly raised her head and looked calmly at the four men surrounding her. Now, her sister has become the village chief, and all kinds of people come to her every day to deal with affairs. The five guys in front of her are well-known troublemakers in the village. They like to steal chickens and dogs and molest women on weekdays.

Song Li looked at them warily and asked, "What do you want to do with my sister?"

One of the men said impatiently, "Why are you asking this little brat? Song Ran must be at home, let's just go find her!"

After saying that, the four of them walked straight into the yard regardless of Song Li's obstruction.

Seeing this, Song Li hurriedly followed their footsteps and said, "My sister is not at home. She is in the bamboo forest by the river."

After hearing this, the people stopped and turned to look at Song Li, then glanced into the house again. When they found that there was indeed no one there, they turned around and asked again, "Which bamboo forest is your sister in?"

"I'll show you the way."

When those people heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other and joked, "This child is quite sensible." Then they followed Song Li into the bamboo forest.

……

"Wuwuwu, sir, I will never dare to do that again." Li Guangdan and the other three were in so much pain that their eyes were filled with tears. Their mouths were numb and painful, and their faces were swollen like pig heads. They couldn't speak clearly.

They never expected that this seemingly harmless girl was so powerful. Although they had vaguely heard before that Li Guan and those guys were no match for her, they were almost twenty years old!

Song Li held a bamboo stick in his hand, looked up at the four young men who were much taller than him, and pointed at them with the bamboo stick, "You squat down."

Li Guangdan and the other three covered their swollen mouths and squatted down obediently.

"Tell me, what are you doing here looking for my sister?"

Several people looked at each other, and when they saw Song Li raised the bamboo stick again, they finally couldn't help but speak. "Someone asked us to cause some trouble for your sister..." One of them stammered.

"Who?" Song Li frowned, anger rising in her heart.

"Zhu Yongbiao." Hearing this name, Song Li immediately thought of the man who always had a false smile. Her eyes became colder and she held the bamboo stick tighter.

Li Guangdan asked tentatively: "Do you want us to help you teach him a lesson?"

"Just you?" Song Li looked down on these four people. They were short, thin, and not very smart. They were marginalized people in the village. No one in the village would pay attention to them except when they were together and talking to each other. Even if they told others that they were beaten by Song Li, no one would believe them.

Li Guangdan's eyes rolled: "I can steal his chickens."

Li Dafu, who was standing by, also offered a suggestion: "I can pull out his seedlings."

Song Li hit the two men on the head with a stick, "No! We can't waste food."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"My sister is going to build a road. When the time comes, you guys should be more active and sign up to be the laborers. Got it?"

"Yes, yes, huh?"

Li Guangdan and Li Dafu looked at each other and showed bitterness at the same time. Road construction is hard work and very tiring. They are a few lazy guys who have never thought about reclaiming wasteland and farming, so how could they possibly be free laborers.

"You can try to refuse. We are from the same village anyway. I can go to your house to find you."

When Ajie became the village chief, the first thing she did was to repair the dirt road in the village. It was the rainy season and the road was so bad that even a donkey cart could get stuck, not to mention a person passing through.

But now it is May and there is more work to do in the fields. My sister thought about filling the holes with stones from the river, so that it would be easier for everyone to haul crops.

It would only take four or five people a few days to do the job, but when it really came down to it, no one was willing to do it.

No one wants to be taken advantage of.

Now these four people can be considered the chosen ones who have come to your doorstep.

Song Li looked at them. Although her mouth was swollen, her eyes were sparkling and she looked like she was trying to curry favor with them.

"Ancestor, I agree with you, but I want to ask..."

"What?"

"Just now you stepped on my knee and jumped up to slap me in the mouth. What is this move called?"

There are only a few popular comic books in the village. There are books like "Scholar Encounters Fox Fairy on His Way to the Imperial Examination" and "Secret History of Wulin". It is unknown which generation these comic books have been handed down from, and the pages have been turned to fuzzy. Although some pages are incomplete and the words on them are unrecognizable, this does not prevent everyone from interpreting the stories in the books vividly.

Li Guangdan and the others were already eighteen or nineteen years old, living in poverty, but their hearts were full of longing and fantasy for the future. They longed to become heroes in the world of martial arts and let the villagers look at them differently.

Song Li looked at the four people in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the girl who once called her "Fox Fairy". She didn't know where she had gone. She was given half a basket of sweet potatoes, and then she could not be found in Lihua Village.

Li Guangdan and the others looked at Song Li eagerly, their eyes full of expectation and desire, and asked in unison: "Can we learn?"

Song Li smiled slightly and asked, "Do you really want to learn?"

Several people immediately nodded their heads rapidly, indicating that they were very willing to learn.

"That depends on whether you have the ability."
