Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Yuan Lai never imagined that he would spend the first day of the Lunar New Year in the hospital.

Mu Li, lying on the hospital bed, had a pale face, a needle stuck in the back of her hand, and medicine was flowing drop by drop into her already very weak body through a transparent infusion tube.

And all this starts from New Year's Eve.

That night, she and Cangyu were looking at the lights of thousands of homes through the window when Mu Li suddenly knocked on the door.

The ambulance roared into the village.

Yuan Lai and Cang Yu carried Mu Li to the ambulance. Along the way, Mu Li held her hand tightly, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

At the hospital, Mu Li was rushed into the operating room. Outside the operating room, Yuan Lai silently prayed that Mu Li and the baby in her belly would be safe.

She took Mu Li's phone and didn't set a lock screen password.

Very niche behavior.

Yuan Lai opened the address book, trying to find Shen Jie's contact information to inform him to come to the hospital as soon as possible.

What surprised her was that she couldn't find Shen Jie's name in the address book, but there were two Xu Mings with different numbers.

Yuan Lai tried to call one of Xu Ming's numbers.

There was a busy tone on the other end of the line, indicating that the number was no longer in service. Yuan Lai dialed another number, Xu Ming's.

This time, the call was connected. There seemed to be two people on the other end of the line, and their breathing was very chaotic, and it was unclear what they were doing.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yuan Lai said, "I'm Yuan Lai. Mu Li is in the operating room at the Municipal Maternity and Gynecology Hospital."

In less than ten minutes, Shen Jie and Song Qiyuan arrived at the hospital together.

Song Qiyuan's gaze fell directly on Cangyu, and he made no effort to hide his dissatisfaction. "There's nothing left for you to do here. You can go back."

Seeing this, Yuan Lai, who was standing by, reached out and grabbed Cang Yu, retorting, "He just saved Mu Li's life. How can you be so unkind as to chase him away without hesitation?"

Cang Yu smiled slightly, seemingly not taking Song Qiyuan's attitude to heart, "We really can't be short of people at Cang Kong Mountain. I should go back."

Two hours later, the operating room door finally opened slowly, and a nurse wheeled Mu Li out. The doctor followed closely behind, asking the three people outside, "Who are the patient's family members?"

Shen Jie stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife doing?"

The doctor took off his mask and said solemnly: "The situation has been temporarily stabilized, but the pregnant woman's condition is more complicated and she may need to be transferred to another hospital."

Is it that serious? Do I need to be transferred to another hospital?

Song Qiyuan said from the side: "Then transfer him to the First Hospital, it will be more convenient for care."

Since both of them were grown men, some things were indeed inconvenient, so Yuan Lai took the initiative to take care of Mu Li. She first accompanied Mu Li to the car, then went to the supermarket to buy some maternity and baby products according to the list. After settling in, she immediately went to Mu Li's house to pick up her belongings.

The first time she came to Mu Li's house, she felt cold, not the coldness of winter temperature, but the coldness of the absence of people.

Mu Li's house was clean, tidy and empty, without a trace of life. Only the cat's bed in the corner proved that someone lived there.

Having been a cat before, she was extremely sensitive to familiar objects like this. The faint scent of Qi Rong on the cat bed, in particular, made her heart beat faster.

It seemed that Qi Rong had not lied to her when he said that he had been a cat before.

At this time, the information prompt sounded, and the brothers who had finished the live broadcast asked about the situation in the group.

"Yuan Lai, are you sick? Why did I hear that the ambulance was heading towards your house?" Jiang Dunhao's message popped up in the group.

Yuan Lai opened the group chat and replied, "It wasn't me, it was Mu Li. She had bleeding in the third trimester, but she's stable now."

"Are you in the hospital now? Is there anything you need us to do?" Lu Zhuo asked immediately.

Yuan Lai looked at the messages that popped up on the screen one after another, feeling touched, but she still declined their kindness: "You guys have worked hard enough growing flowers. It's a rare two-day holiday, so take a good rest."

After staying in the hospital for a long time, Yuan Lai was always worried about Mu Li's physical condition and had no appetite at all.

It was not until the doctor confirmed that there was nothing wrong for the time being and Mu Li woke up that she felt a little relieved and felt like eating something.

Mu Li sat on the bed and opened his mouth, but couldn't bear to disturb Yuan Lai who was eating.

She reached for the glass of water on the table.

Yuan Lai quickly swallowed what he had in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and put the water cup into Mu Li's hand. "I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Mu Li asked, "...Where is Shen Jie?"

Yuan Lai answered truthfully, "He has been staying with you in the hospital the entire time. Just now the doctor said you were out of danger, so he said he would go back to see the child and would be back soon."

"Excuse me." Mu Li tilted his head and looked at Yuan Lai's phone screen. "I see you're laughing the whole time. What show is that? Is it really that funny?"

Yuan Lai subconsciously thought that his volume button was too high and disturbed Mu Li, so he immediately turned it down. "'The Moon Rises Over Cangshan Mountain', a new variety show by Shi Qintian, just started airing not long ago."

Mu Li looked at her. "There's a big project coming up recently called 'Time Flies,' which has 36 episodes. It's planned and directed by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, approved by the Provincial Radio and Television Bureau, and co-produced by Liangshang and Tianyu. It tells the story of young people who responded to the country's call and returned to their hometowns to start businesses to combat desertification. Through hard work and unremitting exploration, they transformed a little-known village into a demonstration desert oasis town."

"I recommended Ten Qintian to the casting director. I think their experience is perfect for filming this TV series. And the timing is also right. Once you finish planting flowers, we should be able to catch up with the crew's start of work."

Yuan Lai was excited. "Really? Where is the filming location? Desertification control, should it be in the northwest?"

Mu Li thought for a moment, "I forgot the name, but it seems to have the word 'qin' in it. That's why I immediately thought of the ten diligent days. Wait for me to check it out."

Mu Li flipped through his phone and searched again and again before finally finding the filming location. "Yes, it's this place, called Minqin. The lead actor is a young, amateur actor, and his character's name is the actor's own, Zhonglin."

Yuan Lai asked uncertainly, "There must be a lot of actors vying to join a TV series like this, right? Is there a chance to work ten days?"

Mu Li asked, "Did any leader go to Houdoumen for research some time ago?"

Yuan Lai nodded frantically.

"That's stable."

It’s really great, really great. Since the TV series is still in the preparation and confidentiality stage, Yuan Lai couldn’t share the news with his brothers. He could only bear the joy alone. As a result, he didn’t sleep all night and got dark circles under his eyes.

She searched for relevant information about Minqin on the Internet and found out that Zhong Lin was born after 95 and had been reported by CCTV.

I just did a live broadcast selling ginseng fruit a few days ago.

Yuan Lai followed the internet cable to the live broadcast room. As he was watching, Song Qiyuan's phone suddenly rang. Yuan Lai exited the live broadcast room and answered the call. "What's up?"

"Come to Yunqing's ward and take the key I gave you."

Yuan Lai was speechless for a while, but he had to take it.

When we took a taxi back to Houdoumen, the driver looked at the greenhouses rising from the ground and was very puzzled. "Are they not growing wheat here anymore?"

Yuan Lai replied, "Well, what we're growing now is a kind of Epiphyllum."

Through the window, she saw the second and third brothers carrying two ladders into the shed, Zhao Yibo following behind with a toolbox. The sixth and ninth brothers squatted on the ground assembling steel pipes, while the eldest, eighth, and tenth brothers drove past them on a tricycle. The fourth and seventh brothers stood under the shed, one on the phone, the other talking to Hong Bao.

No one is idle.

He opened the drawer and took out the box containing the keys. Without even taking a look at the colorful scene under the bed, Yuan Lai hurried downstairs, got into the back seat of a taxi, and quickly left through the steep back door.

In the ward, Song Qiyuan used a wet towel to wipe Fu Yunqing's face.

"Yunqing, I have paved the way for you. Come back and see our daughter. She has grown up."

Yuan Lai stood at the door, unsure whether he should push it open and go in. While hesitating, he saw a familiar figure enter the elevator.

Qi Rong came out from Daming?

Just as she was about to catch up, the door of the ward opened, revealing Song Qiyuan's face.

"come in."

She stood at the end of the bed. Fu Yunqing's face was buried in the quilt, and her features could not be seen clearly.

"Did you bring the keys?"

Yuan Lai handed the box to Song Qiyuan.

Song Qiyuan took out the key, pulled out a thin chain, and hung the key around Fu Yunqing's neck.

The dots in the key suddenly started flashing wildly.

Gone in a flash.

Song Qiyuan glanced at her and said, "I believe you already know that this is the Blood Key. Only by using it to open the last lock can Yun Qing and I return to our world. That is, the previous dynasty of Xihu Kingdom, Cenyang Kingdom."

"Haven't you always been curious about why half of Xihu Kingdom's capital is prosperous and half deserted? It's because Yun Qing accidentally killed his beloved and used a forbidden technique to drain the source of spiritual energy, tearing open a rift that allowed us to come to the world you live in. The rainbow night-blooming cereus also became extinct at that time, and the only one left is Ji Ran."

"Thankfully, Qi Rong saved Daming, giving us a glimmer of hope. But then something happened to you. If Qi Rong hadn't risked his life to rescue you at Mengyun Manor, you would have died in that car accident, let alone returning to Houdoumen and encountering ten of them."

"Qi Rong is sleeping in the Daming, and you bear half the responsibility."

!!!

It directly burned Yuan Lai’s CPU.

Is this some kind of logical reasoning question?

Yuan Lai must have figured it all out during her senior year of high school, when her intelligence was at its peak. However, she graduated from college and returned everything she learned to her teachers.

Inexplicably, the background music of "Yi Jian Mei" rang in her head, and she also saw the image of Yuan Hua looking up and shouting, "I can't do this problem, it's too difficult!"

"The Blood Key is here with me..." Yuan Lai thought of a possibility, "Isn't it secretly sucking my blood all the time?"

Song Qiyuan nodded, "You guessed right."

No wonder An An kept saying she wasn't feeling well and always giving her medicine. It wasn't groundless worry.

This is a very unfair thing to do.

Song Qiyuan pointed to the lit red dot on the key. The red dots spread out in a half circle along the outline of the key, with only the last dot left to connect.

What do you mean?

"Anyway, your mission is accomplished."

Tsk.
