Cao Xiuxiu's eyes turned red as she looked at his resolute back. Over the years, no one had ever ignored her like he did. If she hadn't heard him talking to Erqiang Ye, she would have suspected that he was a mute.

Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi's back as he walked away and shook her head. Alas, her heart was broken.

……

After returning home, Li Xi started packing. She had to move tomorrow. She had just started packing today. As time was tight and the task was heavy, Li Xi did not plan to move all her things.

Doctor Wu's house was quite clean, so she planned to move her bedding, clothes, pots and pans there first, and worry about the rest later. It would be more convenient to buy things after moving, and she could buy whatever she needed directly.

Because there wasn't a lot to pack, Li Xi finished packing after about half an hour.

In order to move into the city tomorrow, Li Xi specifically told Uncle Erqiang that he would rent his donkey cart for thirty cents tomorrow. Naturally, no one would refuse the opportunity to make money.

After packing up, Li Xi stood in the yard with her hands on her hips, looking at the house in front of her. Before leaving, she had to settle the house matters.

"We are moving. Do you want to continue living here or leave?" Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi. If he stayed, eating would become a big problem, so it would be better for him to leave.

"Of course I'll go with you." Gu Jingzhi said with a smile.

Li Xi's mouth turned down, "What do you mean?"

"That's what you think."

His body was almost recovered now, and he could actually leave, but seeing how impatient she was, he just didn't want to let her do as she wished.

"This house is far away from the village and there are no neighbors around, so you were not discovered. There are quite a few neighbors around Doctor Wu's house, and it would be inconvenient to go in and out at that time." Li Xi said with squinted eyes.

"It doesn't matter. No one knows you there anyway. You can say I'm your brother." Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi with a smile.

Li Xi: "Don't think about it if you want to."

"I'm worried about you and Hu Zi living alone. I think we need a man at home." Gu Jingzhi said this seriously. "A machete isn't omnipotent, is it?"

"Do you think I can only chop people?" Li Xi chuckled. You have to use different countermeasures for different people. To deal with people like the Liu family and Aunt Ma, you have to use force to deter them.

She naturally knew that this method would not always work. There was a county government office in Jiangning City, and she didn't want to go in there.

In order to protect herself, she has prepared a lot of interesting medicines. If anyone really dares to mess with Tai Sui, she will make sure they know how many eyes the Horse King has.

So, men? Not necessary.

"You've already got the prescription for the hemostatic medicine, why don't you go back and set up your stall to work? Why are you always staying here with me?" She was still thinking about making money.

"Don't worry, someone will do it."

Li Xi frowned slightly, "What do you mean? What did you do?"

"I have already passed the message about the hemostatic drug. Someone will be responsible for it. Don't worry, you will get your money." Gu Jingzhi knew what she was thinking.

It has been transmitted back, "Just now?"

"Yeah." Gu Jingzhi nodded.

Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi. They had been together just now, so when did he spread the news?

He has his base in Jiangning City. This must be the case. Li Xi felt overwhelmed. What on earth did she save? No wonder she said not to pick up men on the street. She was careless.

"I don't care who you are, I just want you not to implicate us." Li Xi guessed that his identity might not be simple, but now it seems even more complicated.

At first she just thought he was an official in the army. He had good abilities and from his temperament one could tell he came from a prominent family. He was just very young and his position in the army probably wasn't very high. He might be the son of an official who was quite capable.

So she was not surprised that he saw the importance of hemostatic drugs.

But now it seems that I guessed wrong. His position should be not low, and his abilities are not limited to the military. He has an intelligence base at the border. This person is not simple.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you." Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi seriously.

"So, you'd better leave." Li Xi was very blunt. He didn't care about protection or not. His leaving was the best protection.

Seeing Li Xi ruthlessly driving him away, Gu Jingzhi felt somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not tease him anymore, as he really should leave.

"Don't worry, I'll leave after I help you move."

"Okay." Li Xi was satisfied after hearing the confirmation. "You and Hu Zi wait at home. I'll go find Uncle Chang Qing."

She would definitely have to tell Uncle Changqing about leaving the village, as the house still depends on them to take care of it.

……

"What!" Li Changqing was more shocked than Li Xi's words. The dry tobacco choked his throat and he coughed twice before recovering. "You want to move to the city? And leave tomorrow!"

Dong Fengxia was also shocked, "Daya, this city is not so easy to enter."

"I took Hu Zi to visit Master Jiang today, and he agreed to let Hu Zi go to school. Hu Zi is still young, and I am worried about him studying away from home alone.

Now there are only Hu Zi and I at home, and we can’t do farm work, so we thought we might as well move to the city.” Li Xi explained.

Li Changqing shook his head in disapproval, "It's not that easy to stay in the city, and you don't have any income, so it's not a good idea to just live off your savings.

Don't worry about the work in the fields. At worst I can ask your elder brother to help you."

"Yes, Daya, it's not difficult to go to the city, but it's difficult to gain a foothold in the city." Dong Fengxia also advised.

"I know that my uncle and aunt are doing this for my own good, but you don't have to worry. I have already found a job in Jiangning City, and there will be no problem supporting Hu Zi and me."

"Found a job?" Dong Fengxia was a little confused. Is it so easy to find a job in this city? What can a girl like Daya do?

"Well, I've been to Yong'antang a few times to sell medicinal herbs before. Doctor Wu there saw Ji Ling and asked me to go to his place to help pack the herbs." This was an excuse Li Xi had thought of long ago. The money he got from Gu Jingzhi could not be made public.

She must have a reasonable source of income.

"You don't have to worry about where to live. Doctor Wu has an unoccupied house. He was kind enough to rent it to me at a low price. It's big enough for Hu Zi and I to live in."

"Ah, this?"

Li Changqing and Dong Fengxia looked at each other. Is it so easy to change from a country person to a city person?

Li Xi had arranged everything properly, what else could Li Changqing say?

"Since you have made up your mind, just do it. If it doesn't work out, just come back. Don't worry, I'll ask your aunt to help you look after the house."

This is what Li Xilai meant, "Uncle, aunt, I don't know how to thank you.

By the way, my family still has one acre of land left. We can’t farm it after we move to the city, so you can use it to farm.”
