Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

"Ha~"

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, and being warmed by the fire, Li Xiu began to feel sleepy in his already tired body, and yawned.

"Xiu Xiu, why don't you take a nap first and we can take turns to rest."

Tan Yuan suggested.

Li Xiu had experienced too much today and could no longer hold on. After hearing what Tan Yuan said, she nodded in agreement.

After instructing Tan Yuan to wake her up later, she fell asleep peacefully.

Li Xiu's ankle was sprained. After walking in the mountains with her for such a long time, it was now swollen like a white flour bun.

Tan Yuan simply left the cave and planned to find some herbal compresses for her.

There isn't much else in the mountains, but herbs are everywhere, and Tan Yuan happens to know quite a few of them.

This is all thanks to the barefoot doctor of Huaiyin Brigade.

These days, almost every brigade has its own barefoot doctor.

Brigades with better conditions may even be equipped with special clinics and nurses, while those with average conditions have to rely on doctors alone.

The doctor of Huaiyin Brigade was actually a member of the "five black categories" who was sent down to the countryside for reform. However, the brigade saw that he had the skills to cure illnesses and save lives, so they let him out of the cowshed and brought him to the brigade to fill the vacant position of doctor.

In her previous life, Tan Yuan had been suffering from dull stomach pain for the last one or two years, and she would go to the village barefoot doctor to get herbal medicine from time to time.

The work points in Huaiyin Brigade were worthless, and she was even poorer because of the Zhao family sucking her blood. She didn't even have money to buy medicine. It was okay once or twice, and people would just charge her one or two cents as a token of appreciation.

This happened so many times that no one said anything, and Tan Yuan herself felt embarrassed to take advantage of it.

Fortunately, the brigade was also poor, and the doctor had to go up the mountain to pick herbs himself. Tan Yuan simply followed him to learn how to identify herbs. She also went to the mountain to look for herbs in her free time and gave the herbs she found to the brigade, so that she would not be considered taking advantage of them.

Later, when she returned to the city, she had no money and her house had been sold by the Zhao family. She tried every means to find that family and got the news that Zhao Yang and Liang Jin were indeed having an affair and were even pregnant.

The Zhao family also refused to admit that they had embezzled her subsidies for so many years and sent her away with only a few dozen yuan.

At that time, Tan Yuan was really helpless. Fortunately, she had the ability to identify herbs, and she gradually made some money with this. Later, she went to the south to wholesale clothing, and step by step she made her way up.

However, that period was so hard and tiring that it was simply a daydream to think about eating on time and staying healthy. Later, when I had more money and more free time, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was found to have advanced gastric cancer. Just as I was about to start treatment, I unfortunately encountered a medical dispute.

Fortunately, God couldn't bear to see her die like this.

These things happened in the previous life, but Tan Yuan has not forgotten the ability to identify herbs.

Stretching tendon grass, Millettia reticulata, Penicillium strychnos nux vomica, Strychnos nux vomica, and Ground ear grass...

It doesn't take too many herbs to treat sprains, so Tan Yuan just searched nearby and found them. She found more than that, there were also some other things. She silently memorized the location and walked towards the puddle with the herbs.

After washing all the herbs and picking up clean stones, he returned to the cave.

Li Xiu was sleeping soundly at this moment, and she didn't even notice her coming in and out. It was obvious that she was really tired. Tan Yuan smashed the herbs with a stone to squeeze out all the juice inside, and then carefully applied it on Li Xiu's ankle.

Even in his sleep, Li Xiu frowned because of the pain.

Nianlin was agile and she ran back to the brigade to ask the brigade leader for help.

The locust plague had just happened, and the team leader, the branch secretary and other cadres were extremely worried. They smoked hookahs like they were free. The meeting room of the team headquarters was filled with smoke, and it looked like the "fairyland".

Nian Lin rushed in regardless of anything, told the captain what had happened, and asked him to send someone with her to rescue the people.

The captain slammed the table, so angry that he couldn't speak.

What’s going on with these newly arrived educated youth? Why don’t they just calm down for a while every day? They’re just causing trouble all the time!

But no matter how angry you are, you still have to send the necessary people.

If something happens to this educated youth in their brigade, all of these cadres will be held responsible!

He didn't just send anyone to go with him. It just so happened that the militia captain was there, so he simply asked the militia captain to find someone to go with Nian Lin.

Guan Jianguo had just returned from the county. He had just found a job helping people build houses, and they needed people. He was just thinking of coming to the brigade headquarters to talk to the brigade leader and see if anyone was willing to go to the county to work.

As soon as he walked into the brigade headquarters, he ran into the anxious militia captain and Nian Lin.

"Jianguo, you've come just in time. Two new female educated youth ran up the mountain and fell off a cliff. Oh, that's the female educated youth you asked me to rescue last time. Bring the rope and go with this young educated youth to rescue them."

Although Guan Jianguo has a bad background, he is still a very steady person. There will be no problem if this matter is handed over to him. The militia captain turned around and went back into the brigade headquarters meeting room.

Guan Jianguo frowned tightly, and the face of the female educated youth from two days ago appeared in his mind. Her name seemed to be Tan Yuan, right? His favorability towards Tan Yuan dropped by another two points.

No matter how unhappy he was, he would do what he had to do without hesitation. He asked Nian Lin about the situation, and the two of them took a long straw rope and set off without stopping.

The trip back and forth took a lot of time. When Nian Lin and Guan Jianguo arrived at the place where Tan Yuan and the others fell, they had already disappeared.

"I'll go down and take a look. You wait here."

Guan Jianguo tied one end of the rope to a big tree and the other end to his waist, preparing to go down the cliff to see the situation.

There was nothing but a pool of blood at the bottom of the cliff, and no trace of Tan Yuan and Li Xiu.

His eyes darkened, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Nian Lin actually climbing down the rope. His skills were not inferior to his own at all.

——This is a martial artist.

This sentence popped up in his mind.

Nian Lin didn't look at Guan Jianguo, her eyes were attracted by the pool of blood.

"This shouldn't be their blood."

Guan Jianguo's expression was serious and earnest.

It's so clean here, there's not a single piece of clothing torn off. Also, the amount of bleeding isn't right. It doesn't seem like the amount of bleeding two people should have. There's no sign of a struggle nearby. It must be some wild animal hunting nearby and dragging the prey here.

Nian Lin walked over, dipped his finger in the blood on the ground, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and it was indeed not human blood.

"It's animal blood. They must have discovered something, so they left. We must find them both as soon as possible."
