Ten diligent days: the fields are still

The second batch of seeds is already on the way and is expected to arrive on time within one day, which means the brothers will be busy for several more days.

This time, the place Ji Ran chose for them was still a little-known, long-abandoned village. This village was next to a river and was even more remote.

What is even more shocking is that Ren He actually moved the entire Xintang Village here.

The ten people stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they saw.

"What a fuss! This village will be deeply bound to you from now on. Wherever you go to see flowers, this village will be there."

"We have become modern snails too." Zhao Xiaotong said out of the blue, making everyone laugh.

You can guess with just your fingers that it must have been arranged by Song Qiyuan.

To put it nicely, they provide food and accommodation. To put it bluntly, they are afraid that they will run away halfway, so they let Ren He monitor them.

When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Yuan Lai was not so worried anymore.

"Is it okay to do this?"

She is not afraid of this because she is used to it, but other people have never been exposed to this?

"Don't worry, they know what they should know, but they definitely don't know what they shouldn't know! They'll forget everything after they wake up from a good night's sleep."

Yuan Lai looked for Lin Tingting but couldn't find her. She didn't know what was going on recently. Lin Tingting even avoided her.

After everything was settled, she decided to go to the hospital to visit An An.

An An's wound has not healed, and Yuan Lai is worried that it is related to the lost inner elixir.

An An was already ill, and the disease was suppressed only by using Li Dan as a medicine under the niche and sacrificing several rare medicinal herbs. An An was able to develop normally. Now that the inner elixir is gone, will the crying disorder recur?

If the illness recurred, where would she find another suitable Li Dan? Where would she get the herbs? Even with her skills, it would take a long time to find them all. If it were her, wouldn't it be an eternity?

Along the way, Yuan Lai felt heavy-hearted and worried.

After arriving at the hospital, she first paid the hospitalization fee and then picked up various test reports.

While waiting for the elevator, several medical staff rushed out of the gate, opened the door of the ambulance, and carried out a stretcher from inside.

The cart passed in front of Yuan Lai. On the stretcher lay a person, covered tightly with a white sheet, revealing only a face as pale as paper.

Yuan Lai's gaze involuntarily lingered on the stretcher for a moment.

Although it was just a quick glance, she was 100% sure that it was Wu Jiahe's mother!

The woman who was once full of vigor and decisiveness is now lying on a stretcher so haggard.

Fragments of memories about Wu Jiahe and his mother kept flashing through Yuan Lai's mind. Didn't Wu Jiahe always hate his mother? Didn't he once swear to escape that home even at the cost of his life?

Have you figured this out now?

Wu Jiahe stole the inner elixir to give it to her mother?

After coming upstairs, Yuan Lai told An An everything he had seen and heard.

After listening to this, An An suggested with a smile: "How about we go and take a look secretly at night? Maybe we can find something unexpected!"

Yuan Lai thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.

She analyzed it seriously, "What's the point of talking about stealing? We went there openly. After all, we didn't do anything wrong, so we're definitely not the ones feeling guilty. And doing this can also put some psychological pressure on Wu Jiahe, letting her know that we're not easy to bully."

An An felt that what Yuan Lai said made sense, so she nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yuan Lai noticed that An An's hem was stained with blood. She asked An An to lie on the bed and gently lifted her clothes.

When she saw the hideous wound on An An's lower back, she gasped. Although the wound was small, it was not much worse than her previous wound.

Yuan Lai asked distressedly, "Didn't the niche give you any special medicine? It was because of the special medicine that my injuries healed so quickly."

An An sighed helplessly, "As for special medicine, the most important thing is of course the medicine. Living organisms like medicine are hard to come by. I've been looking for a few days and haven't caught an adult one yet, so I can only bear it for now."

medicine?

Yuan Lai suddenly remembered the thing that Qi Rong asked his brothers to capture halfway up the mountain from Jingci Temple.

"Is the medicine you're talking about the kind that grows in the rocks, has leaves on its head and wings on its back, is more common on rainy days, and if you touch it directly with your hands you'll get numb or even poisoned?"

An An nodded, "Yeah, you know this too?"

She has!

Yuan Lai was excited.

"Wait for me, I'll ask my brother to send it over."

Yuan Sheng was fast enough and the express delivery arrived at the post station the next morning.

The outer packaging turned out to be the shoe box of Yuan Sheng’s new sneakers.

Yuan Lai opened the box and took out the glass jar inside the anti-collision cotton.

Inside is a complete version of a medicine.

Yuan Lai was also curious at the time, and took advantage of the chaos to catch one under a rock.

She didn't even tell Qi Rong about this.

An An took the glass jar and confirmed that the contents were the same medicine she was looking for.

"Yuan Lai, you are so awesome."

"I just don't know if this thing has an expiration date or anything like that. How long can it survive away from where it grows? Will its effectiveness be compromised?"

An An opened the glass jar, pulled out the medicine, and touched the leaves above her head. The moisture had decreased and the edges were dry.

"This is the juvenile form of the medicine. It can't detoxify, but it won't be a problem to cure my injury." An An looked at Yuan Lai expectantly, "I'm sick, so I need your help to take care of it."

Yuan Lai returned to the village with the medicine.

Ren He greeted her from the rooftop, "Hey! Why are you back so soon?"

"Of course there's work to do." Yuan Lai got busy as soon as she entered the yard. She found a suitable spot on the ground, picked up a shovel, and dug a round hole. The hole was neither too big nor too small, just enough to hold the medicine.

After digging the pit, Yuan Lai went to the river to pick up some stones and laid a thick layer of stones at the bottom of the pit.

Ren He followed behind, even more curious, "Why are you digging a hole?"

"Bury you."

"What are you laying the stones for?"

"Can't you just soak your feet? You're so annoying."

Yuan Lai took out the jar and gently put the medicine into the pit, fearing that he would accidentally break it.

"Is this... rock ginseng?"

"Does it have a scientific name?" Yuan Lai was curious.

"How can it not have a scientific name? It's just like ginseng and angelica, but we are too lazy to distinguish them so clearly."

Yuan Lai found a piece of iron shovel handle in the corner and carefully smoothed the bottom so that it would be more convenient to smash.

Everything was ready. Yuan Lai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tightly grasped the iron shovel handle. He smashed the rock ginseng into pieces like pounding garlic.

Only when he felt that the medicine had been crushed enough did Yuan Lai stop what he was doing and slowly opened his eyes.

She saw that the rock ginseng in the pit had turned into a pile of dry powder, and the juice and stones were mixed together and could not be distinguished from each other.

Chen Shaoxi and Zhao Yibo walked out of the warehouse, carrying red buckets, talking and laughing.

As they walked, they noticed two people squatting on the side of the road. They walked over curiously and found that they were Yuan Lai and Ren He.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Shaoxi spoke first.

Yuan Lai raised his head and glanced at them, then continued with his work, "Pounding the medicine."

"What are you going to do? Have you finished moving the seeds?"

"After moving, we're going to pull the water pipe and soak the flower seeds." Zhao Yibo explained.

Yuan Lai said "Oh".

After Chen Shaoxi and Zhao Yibo had a brief chat with Yuan Lai, they turned around and left, continuing to work.

Yuan Lai continued to focus on carefully separating the powder and stone and putting them into a small glass bottle.

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and tried to take the glass bottle away.

Yuan Lai was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and nimbly dodged the hand.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Lai said unhappily, "Want to do something bad again?"

Ren He looked aggrieved and waved his hands quickly, "I didn't, I was just looking."

Yuan Laicai didn't believe what he said, "Stay away from me." As she said that, she stood up and ran away.

Ren He stood quietly there, his eyes following Yuan Lai's gradually receding figure. He tried hard to recall the scene when he first met Yuan Lai. It seemed like it happened a long time ago.

At that time, the sky in Cangkong Mountain was always blue and the sun was always bright.

Only on that day, raindrops fell on the mountains, dyeing the entire Cangkong Mountain a layer of green.

In order to avoid the rain, Yuan Lai and Cang Yu held hands and ran like two happy deer.

He couldn't help but wonder, if it was him, not Huaxuan, who approached her at that time, would the consequences be completely different?

"Why do the days go by so slowly..." Ren He muttered to himself.

Song Qiyuan's voice suddenly rang out from behind Ren He, with a barely perceptible silence: "Don't look anymore, the person is gone."

Ren He turned around, then raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "Oh, you are so worried that you come to inspect the work in person."

Song Qiyuan turned slightly to make room for the others and said to the family behind him, "Come forward."

The couple was obviously a little reserved and stopped after taking only one step.

"Their safety is in your hands."

Ren He was a little reluctant: "Why? I'm not your subordinate."

Song Qiyuan leaned close to Ren He's ear and said in a low voice, "Isn't this so that you can quickly gain some favor with Yuan Lai while Hua Xuan is away? This child is the key to whether you can turn the tables."

Ren He scoffed, "Don't try to deceive me. She already suspected I was spying on them. If you do this, will she think we're threatening her?"

Song Qiyuan said nonchalantly, "Let her think whatever she wants. As long as I can help Ji Ran plant the Epiphyllum and pave the way for Mu Li to return home before she gives birth, nothing else matters."

Ren He was silent for a few seconds, but couldn't help asking, "Are you sure Yun Qing really wants to come back?"
