A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 4: There is a jade mine on the mountain

Jiang Yunlei was stunned. The wild boar was dead. I killed him by chopping him to death. Was his martial arts so strong? He touched his head, a little bewildered. When the young man saw the wild boar dead, he lost his breath and fell to the ground with a thud, unconscious. Yunlei looked back and quickly ran to the young man to check his breath. He was still breathing and alive. At this time, Yunfeng came over holding Qiqi. "Fifth brother, is this big brother okay?"

"He's fine, still alive," Yun Lei replied. Qiqi approached, looked at the young man, and felt his pulse. He had lost too much blood and was in danger of dying if not treated. She casually let some spiritual spring water flow from her fingers into the young man's mouth. She then took some freshly dug wild Panax notoginseng from her brother's backpack and handed it to Sixth Brother, saying, "Sixth Brother, crush the Panax notoginseng and drip the juice into your mouth to stop the bleeding. Fifth Brother, come with me to find some medicine." After all that talk, she felt a little tired and began to pant heavily.

Yun Lei asked, "What medicine are you looking for?" "Brother, hold the grass," Qi Qi stretched out her arms for Yun Lei to hold. "Xiao Bai, find some medicine," Qi Qi called to the little white cat, and it scurried off. The siblings quickly followed, searching for herbs as they went. Xiao Bai squatted in one spot and refused to move. The siblings hurried over. They found a dozen small thistles, which are used to treat wounds, bleeding, carbuncles, sores, hematemesis, and other conditions. Crushing the whole plant and applying it to the wound can reduce inflammation and stop bleeding.

Qiqi quickly said to her brother, "Brother, pull out these medicinal herbs!" Yunlei carefully placed her sister on the ground, squatted down, and pulled up more than a dozen plants, roots and leaves included. He picked up her sister and ran back, with the little white cat following behind. Qiqi gave Xiaobai a thumbs-up, and Xiaobai seemed to understand, nodding his head at Qiqi, his tail raised high. He was very happy to receive the praise from his little master and to be able to help him.

Yunfeng, carried back to the boy by his brother, was still squeezing the Panax notoginseng juice. "Brother, crush the herbs, apply, and bandage," Qiqi said. Yunlei understood what his sister meant and, unfazed by the prickles of the thistle, picked up a few plants and rubbed them vigorously. He crushed them and applied them to the boy's wound. He then removed a few strips of cloth from his clothes and bandaged the wound. The boy woke up, and Yunfeng stopped squeezing the Panax notoginseng.

The young man also wanted to sit up from the ground and thank the three brothers and sisters, "Lie down, I haven't finished bandaging you yet," the young man showed a grateful expression, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I might have been eaten by the wild boar, thank you very much." The young man clasped his fists. After bandaging the young man, he slowly helped the young man up. The young man bowed to the ground and thanked them for saving his life. He told the three brothers and sisters that he was from a village at the foot of the mountain. His name was Xie Lei. His parents died when he was young, and he lived with his uncle. His uncle treated him very well. His aunt was afraid that he would compete with her son for the family property, so she abused him behind his uncle's back, either beating him or scolding him, and sometimes not giving him food. Xie Lei suffered a lot and his body was covered with scars. Yun Lei had just bandaged him when he saw the scars on his body and thought they were from hunting. The three brothers and sisters felt sorry for Xie Lei and asked him why he hunted the wild boar alone. Xie Lei explained the reason.

It turns out that a big wild boar lives deep in the forest. The little wild boar it gave birth to was disobedient and ran to the edge of the forest. A hunter saw the little wild boar and beat the little wild boar to death. The big wild boar took revenge on the hunters and killed and injured several people. At night, it ran to the village to hurt people under the cover of darkness. The village organized a hunting team to surround the big wild boar. The big wild boar seemed to have a spirit and could not be found for several days. Everyone thought it had retreated into the forest. Today, his aunt wanted to eat pheasant and forced Xie Lei to go hunting in the deep forest. His aunt knew that the big wild boar was seeking revenge and deliberately let her nephew die. Xie Lei had no choice but to carry a bow and arrow and went to the deep forest. He did not catch any pheasant, but encountered a vengeful wild boar. Xie Lei had good kung fu, but the wild boar was cunning and intelligent. He was no match for the wild boar. If it were not for Jiang Yunlei and his two siblings, they would have died here.

After listening to Xie Lei's story, Qiqi had tears in her eyes. She didn't expect Xie Lei's aunt to be so vicious. She called him "brother". The two siblings understood each other well. Jiang Yunlei said, "Xie Lei, my name is Jiang Yunlei, my brother's name is Jiang Yunfeng, and this is my younger sister Qiqi. We both have the character "Lei" in our names. We are destined to be together. If you don't mind, come back with me. If I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat too. I won't let you go hungry, and I won't let you get beaten." Xie Lei had no way to repay them for saving his life, so he quickly knelt down to thank Yunlei and his two siblings for taking him in and thanking them for saving his life.

Xie Lei was about to go home to tell his uncle, then head to the Jiang residence to find Jiang Yunlei. Yunlei gave him the address, and Xie Lei dragged his injured leg and said goodbye. Qiqi stopped him, "Big brother, get some medicine to apply," pointing to the small thistle and then the wild Panax notoginseng. "This is the juice of crushed herbs," she said, rubbing her hands together and looking up as if to drink some water, which amused the other three. Yunlei explained everything to Xie Lei, gave him some wild Panax notoginseng and small thistle, and explained how to use them. Xie Lei thanked the three siblings again and said he would visit them at the Jiang residence in a few days.

The three siblings watched Xie Lei limping down the mountain. "Brother, wild boar meat is delicious," I said. Qiqi is a little foodie who often sneaks into her own space to eat. She puts what she can take out in a small bag sewn by her mother and steals a bite from time to time. Jiang Yunlei said, "I'm strong. I'll carry the wild boar down the mountain and put it in the carriage. I'll come back to find you. You two should pay attention to your safety and don't let your sister run around." "Don't worry, brother," Yunlei carried the wild boar down the mountain.

Jiang Yunfeng carried Qiqi back to the hill where he'd found the stones. The hill was bare, with only some weeds growing on it, not even a tree. Qiqi asked her brother to put her down and began searching diligently. She found a few jade pieces, including a few larger ones buried in the dirt. She asked her brother to help dig them out. They were as big as a human head, and she knew she couldn't carry them home. So she stopped digging and went home to uncover the jade pieces to see what kind they were. Then she'd consider having her father buy them and mine them.

After a while, Jiang Yunlei came back and saw that the brother and sister had found so many big stones. His sister said they were jade, but he didn't understand. It was getting dark, so he urged Yunfeng to pack the baskets. He was strong enough to carry the jade on his back, and let his brother carry his sister down the mountain.

Qiqi used her spiritual power to explore the small hilltop, revealing a rich tapestry of jade deep within. In this era, neighboring small kingdoms often bullied the Great Zhou. Her uncle and brothers hadn't been home for two years, guarding the border. Qiqi missed them terribly, and her mother often nagged at them, asking if they were well fed and warmly dressed. A mother worries about her son even when he's thousands of miles away.

Qiqi was a little tired. After all, she was only one year old. Although she had the soul of a man in his twenties, she was still young. After a while, she fell asleep in Yunfeng's arms.

Yun Lei asked the driver to drive slowly so that Qiqi would not feel uncomfortable.

The setting sun is dark and blue, and the green mountains flicker.

The autumn weather is clear and crisp, the sky is blue and the sunset is getting dimmer and dimmer, smoke is curling up from the small villages around, and the scene is peaceful.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Jiang's house. Jiang Yunfeng carefully picked up Qiqi and walked towards the house. The coachman and Yunlei moved the things in the carriage into the house.

Jiang Shuoan and Zhao were getting anxious. The three siblings had been gone all afternoon and hadn't returned until dusk. They hurried to the gate to see if they had returned. Jiang Shuoan rubbed his hands together. "If they come back, I'll beat up the fifth and sixth brothers. If anything happens to Qiqi, they won't come back either."
