The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

"Mom, you have to know that I earned that money."

Li Xi did not expect that Lady Liu, who had hugged her in pain not long ago, had changed her face in just a few days.

Madam Liu said gloomily, "Daya, I'm your mother, I can't control you, right?"

If it was still the original owner, she would definitely be suppressed by Madam Liu's words, but Li Xi was not the original owner.

"She didn't agree to send Huzi to school, nor did she agree to my doing business. What did she want to do with the money?"

Facing Li Xi's relentless pressure, Madam Liu looked grim. "No matter what you say, I won't give you a penny. Just forget about it."

Liu Niangzi's firm refusal really made Li Xi a little confused, because her refusal was not based on any reason or justification, but more like a refusal for the sake of refusal.

Li Xi didn't want to make things too awkward, so when she saw her turn her head away and stopped talking, she didn't say anything either, turned around and left the room.

It is impossible to give up nature.

Not being able to get the money back meant that she needed to find a way to solve the initial investment. Li Xi returned to her room, picked up her backpack and went to the back mountain. If she could earn money the first time, she could earn it the second time.

On the way up the mountain, Li Xi kept thinking about what to do next.

Because of Madam Liu's attitude, she had to replan her subsequent plans. Li Xi looked up at the blue sky. She had always been alone before, and when she came here just now, she did feel Madam Liu's motherly love.

This made Li Xi, who had never experienced maternal love, feel a little yearning for it, but all her yearning came to an abrupt end today.

She suddenly remembered one of her former college roommates. Her family was considered a middle-class family. Her father was the general manager of a small company and her mother worked in a bank. Besides her, she had a younger brother. To outsiders, they should have been a very happy family.

But more than once she envied herself for being an orphan.

Because her parents always instilled in her that she was a girl and should do housework, and that she was an older sister and should give in to her younger brother.

She told herself that she had argued before, but without exception she was retorted with the same sentence: You are his sister and he is your brother, if you don't help him, who will?

In fact, she had a good relationship with her brother, but every time she heard her parents say this, she would feel very upset, and gradually her relationship with her brother became more and more distant.

Li Xi doesn't like this kind of moral kidnapping in the name of doing good for you. It's like a sheep dung ball wrapped in sugar. No matter how shiny the outside is, it can't cover up the rotten inside.

She grew up in a wild environment with her grandfather. After her grandfather passed away, she restrained her rebellious temper, immersed herself in medical books, and became gentler.

But even though she later became a white angel who saved lives and healed the wounded, her heart was still full of rebellion.

The moral blackmail does not apply to her.

Li Xi is not a person who likes to waste her energy. She traveled through time and space and borrowed the original owner's body. She had to repay the favor. She had promised before that she would take good care of the original owner's family.

But if they really can't get along, she won't force herself to continue living with them. After all, there are many ways to take care of each other, not just living together.

However, Li Xi also knew in her heart that as an unmarried girl, it would be very difficult for her to become independent from her family.

Thanks to the fact that Lijiazhuang is located at the northwestern border and has been harassed by the Huns for many years, and their lives are threatened at all times, the people in the north are more tough than those in other places.

Nothing is too important in life, so people here are not subject to much moral constraints.

Taking the Qing Dynasty as an example, if Li Xi traveled to the Qing Dynasty, she could be forced to commit suicide on the grounds of losing her virginity just because she fell into the water and was rescued. If she was caught pursuing her elders, she would be even more damned.

Thinking of this, Li Xi felt extremely lucky that she did not travel back to the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing Dynasty practiced foot binding. It would be better to let her die than to let her stay in the boudoir as a lady with a bound head and never go out of the house. If her luck was even worse, she would encounter a foreign invasion of China, and she, a fragile auxiliary, would really not be able to withstand it.

On the way up the mountain, Li Xi carefully observed the roadside and found a few medicinal herbs from time to time. No matter how precious they were, as long as they were ripe, Li Xi picked them and put them into the backpack.

No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat, and she doesn't complain about anything now.

Li Xi walked for another half an hour and had reached the place where she had dug Gastrodia elata last time. There were still traces of her digging on the ground.

The backpack was already half full, and Li Xi was tired after walking for so long, so he simply took off the backpack and rested where he was.

Li Xi sat on the ground leaning against a big tree, massaging her sore calves. The original owner's physical fitness was not good. It seemed that she had to exercise well. After all, no matter what she wanted to do, a good body was indispensable. After all, the body was the capital of revolution.

Li Xi rested for a while, and after he recovered, he put on the backpack and continued to walk deeper into the cave.

The further you go in, the more lush the vegetation becomes. Even though many of the trees have not yet grown green leaves, the densely intertwined vines and branches are enough to give you a headache.

Dead branches and fallen leaves were scattered on the ground in a disorderly manner, with some unmelted or half-melted snow on top. It was quiet all around, and the only sound that could be heard was Li Xicai's footsteps on the falling snow, like the sound of broken jade.

Li Xi came prepared this time. She used the machete in her hand to push away the vines that blocked her way and walked straight in without any hesitation.

Villagers often come to the outer mountains on weekdays, so there is almost no need to explore. Li Xi knows that the chance of finding both ginseng and bungarus as last time is slim. After all, such good luck does not come every day. It is just good luck.

There is no way to predict something like luck. If you always rely on good luck, it is no different from waiting for something to happen.

After entering the mountains, Li Xi kept observing her surroundings with caution. Tall trees that blocked out the sun were growing wildly on the mountains. Li Xi grew up in the mountains with her grandfather since she was a child. She knew the dangers in the mountains best. Even with past experience, Li Xi did not take it lightly.

The bright sunlight shines on the branches that have not yet sprouted, casting shadows like water chestnuts on the ground.

Li Xi was as happy as a badger in a melon field, holding a machete in one hand and a small hoe in the other. The herbs in the deep mountains were indeed better than those in the periphery. Both the quantity and quality were not inferior at all.

Li Xi glanced around and her eyes suddenly lit up. She saw a very special kind of fallen leaf. She walked over and held it in her hand. It was as big as a banana fan, and the top of the leaf vein was naturally cracked to form a fork.

Li Xi picked it up and smiled, "It's actually Magnolia officinalis."

Magnolia officinalis is an endangered precious medicinal material, belonging to the Magnoliaceae family. Magnolia officinalis bark is a precious Chinese medicine, and both the flowers and seeds can be used as medicine.

In her previous life, she followed her grandfather around the mountains and had never seen Magnolia officinalis. She didn't expect to see it here today.

Now that she had seen it, there was no reason to let it go. Li Xi squatted down and began to pick the Magnolia officinalis. As she was picking, Li Xi suddenly stopped. She sniffed her nose and frowned. There was a smell of blood!
