Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"But Liu Chuang, you're going to college in a few days, and you won't be able to help collect herbs for a few days. I'll go."

Although Fang Ping knew that he was not as careful as Liu Chuang, he still knew the importance of things.

This time, Liu Chuang was finally selected by the county to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and he only had a few days left before leaving.

Originally, Liu Chuang had planned to work a few more days in the remaining days so that he could exchange more food rations from the village when he left, but when he saw Shi Yan was sick, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

Being brought up by Fang Ping now, he was in a dilemma.

Shi Yan, who was lying in the house, was pretending to be sick. How could she let these two people really waste their working time for her? She also knew that their families were not rich. They even exchanged some money and grains to send home when the grain was distributed every year.

Shi Yan was lying on the kang. She first moaned softly, and then coughed violently. When the two heard it, they quickly ran to the door.

Shi Yan turned her face towards the door with some difficulty, then pulled the corner of her mouth towards the two people who were worried at the door, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I heard everything you said just now. Stop arguing. I'll learn how to collect herbs by myself. You can just go back to work!"

"I've been lying here for a while and I feel better now. It's getting late now, you should go eat and rest for a while."

"How can this be possible? How can I let you go up the mountain with your sick body?"

Fang Ping and Liu Chuang naturally disagreed. Shi Yan wanted to say a few words or just sit up to show that she was feeling much better now, when suddenly a voice interrupted her.

"I'll go with the village doctor this afternoon! Someone in my family is a doctor, and I know all the common medicinal herbs. I'll follow the village doctor to see where to get them. It won't take up much time, and I can still go to work normally in the afternoon."

The man's tone was still as low and cold as ever, but he received grateful looks from Fang Ping and Liu Chuang.

But Shi Yan felt bitter in her heart. She really didn't want to have too much interaction with the male and female protagonists. After all, from the time she woke up until now, apart from feeling the original owner's unwillingness, she didn't receive any of the original owner's wishes at all.

She was worried about being too close to the hero and heroine. What if the hero and heroine in this book's world had a halo that manually lowered her intelligence and made her a stepping stone for others?

But before Shi Yan could open her mouth to refuse, Guan Yao, who had never found a chance to say anything, also spoke softly.

"Chen Zhiqing, how about I go up the mountain with you this afternoon? I have a good memory. When you need herbs in the future, I can help you pick more because I know the herbs well."

Guan Yao's words were all for Shi Yan's own good, but the way her eyes were fixed on Chen Qinghe and her slightly flushed face made it clear to anyone with eyes that she had special feelings for Chen Qinghe.

"no need."

"I don't need you!"

But Guan Yao had a good idea. She could take this opportunity to spend more time with Chen Qinghe. After all, they were in the same school before going to the countryside. It was just that Guan Yao knew Chen Qinghe, a prominent figure in the school, but Chen Qinghe had never seen her.

This time, she saw on the train that the person going to the countryside with her was Chen Qinghe. She was very happy, and the two of them spent two days together on the train. Although Chen Qinghe was cold in nature, he was very caring towards her, which made her fall in love with him.

But at this moment, Chen Qinghe's somewhat cold rejection shocked her, but she still wanted to continue to fight for it.

"Chen Zhiqing, you don't have to worry about me. Although I haven't done any heavy work at home, since I've been to the countryside, I will definitely learn to do many things."

"I think I can definitely do things like going to the back mountain to identify medicinal herbs."

"No need. If you want to learn how to work, just go to the fields honestly. The educated youth was overworked this time because she helped you work every day. If you really want to help her, don't ask her for help all day long."

Chen Qinghe's cold and disgusted voice really made Shi Yan, who was watching the show at the side, feel excited. She was lying on the kang and they were talking at her door. She could see clearly what was going on.

From her angle, she could clearly see that when Chen Qinghe said this, his hands at his sides were clenched into fists.

Looking at the blue veins on the back of his hand, it was not difficult to see how much strength Chen Qinghe had used. This situation made Shi Yan couldn't help but become extremely curious about Chen Qinghe.

"You, how can you say that to me? I just felt sick when I first went to the countryside, so the educated youth agreed to help me. I just want to do what I can now."

As Guan Yao spoke, crystal tears began to fall, but her eyes still looked at Chen Qinghe stubbornly and hurt.

Chen Qinghe felt a pain in his heart when he was looked at by those eyes. That inexplicable sense of fate came up again, as if he had done something unforgivable by making the person in front of him sad.

But the education he received over the past decade told him that the incident itself was the fault of the seemingly innocent person who was crying in front of him.

The more he realized this, the more disgusted he became with the feeling that always popped up in his heart from time to time, and the sharper his words became.

"If you are really sick, you should act like one. Running around will only add burden to others."

"Like today, you said you were sick and didn't go to work, but you followed Du Zhiqing to the fields. You accidentally fell down, and Du Zhiqing comforted you for the whole morning without even doing any work. Didn't you cause trouble to others?"

"Chen Zhiqing, how can you say that to me? I just fell down. The clothes I'm wearing were newly made this year. I just panicked..."

As Guan Yao was speaking, she seemed to realize that what she said was not reasonable. She stomped her feet in grievance and simply ran away.

But Shi Yan was a little confused. The heroine seemed to have glared at her before she ran away. She shouldn't have done anything, right? She didn't glare at the hero, but at herself?

"Chen Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Yan was still thinking about the heroine, while Fang Ping, Liu Chuang, and Du Li, who for some unknown reason did not pursue the heroine, started calling out.

When Shi Yan turned her gaze over, she saw that Chen Qinghe, who had just been scolding people with a cold face, had a pale face and the veins on his neck were bulging. He was obviously in great pain, just like the way she pretended to be seriously ill.

She couldn't stay lying on the kang any longer, so she sat up and moved to the corner:

"Help him in and let him sit for a while. There is hot water in the kettle on my table. Pour some for Chen Zhiqing."

Chen Qinghe was still conscious at this moment and able to walk on his own. Led by Fang Ping, he sat down on the kang near the door.
