Ugly girl only wants to farm

Xu Chaoyan pushed the wheelbarrow hurriedly along the way. The road was not very smooth to begin with, and after this ordeal, many stones rolled down in some places.

Xu Chaoyan looked worried. If the road ahead was blocked, they wouldn't even be able to get to town. They hadn't gone far when they found that some places ahead were blocked by fallen rocks, and even wheelbarrows couldn't pass. They could squeeze through if they just moved one rock.

She now truly regrets not bringing a hoe with her when she left home; at least she could have used it.

Meng Jiuxia quickly pushed her older brother to a safe place, and together they began to move the stones by hand. The two of them used all their strength, but they couldn't move the stones an inch, and they were panting heavily from exhaustion.

Meng Jiuhe slowly opened his eyes at this moment, his vision was blurry. He saw what the two of them were doing in front of him. His body was very weak and he didn't have much strength.

He paused for a moment, gathered his breath, and said, "Little sister." After saying this, he became breathless and gasped for air.

Meng Jiuxia quickly ran over to pat him on the back and help him catch his breath: "Big brother, are you feeling any better? Don't talk, save your energy."

Xu Chaoyan then took out a bamboo tube and poured some water for him to drink.

"Don't talk, save your energy, rest for a while."

Meng Jiu and Tai raised their fingers with some difficulty and pointed ahead: "Where are we going?"

Meng Jiuxia raised her sleeve to wipe the water from his mouth: "Brother, you are quite badly injured. We'll go to town to see a doctor for you."

Xu Chaoyan nodded: "Your injuries are indeed quite serious. Now that the earth dragon has turned over again, we don't know when it will happen again. Let us check your body first. If we go too late, we might not even be able to find a doctor."

Meng Jiuhe couldn't help but cough again, looking at them with a cough: "Xu Chaoyan, little sister, let's go back first. My body can handle it. It's a long way from here to the town, and we don't know when we'll get there. Let's stay inside."

Xu Chaoyan shook her head stubbornly: "No, you are seriously injured right now. We must go to town to see a doctor first. You must listen to me today."

She looked at the large rock with a worried expression, then went to find a few sticks and handed them to Meng Jiuxia: "Take this first."

Meng Jiuxia looked completely bewildered: "Sister-in-law, why are you giving me a stick?"

Xu Chaoyan pointed to the rock: "I'll put some sticks on the ground in a bit, and we'll push it up together to make a path."

Meng Jiuxia was still completely bewildered; she had never done anything like this before. Finally, under Xu Chaoyan's guidance, the two of them successfully pushed the stone over.

Seeing that both of their foreheads were covered in sweat, Meng Jiuhe slowly raised his hand, intending to wipe the sweat from Xu Chaoyan's forehead. He only raised his hand halfway before letting it fall heavily back down; he too was panting heavily.

Xu Chaoyan raised her sleeve and casually wiped it a couple of times: "Save your energy, don't worry about our sister-in-law, hurry up and leave, don't waste time."

When they arrived in town, they found that the situation was much worse than they had imagined. Everywhere was a scene of devastation, and people were wailing with their foreheads covered and their arms in slings.

Because the town's houses are densely packed, when one house collapses, it also hits another house, filling people's eyes with fear and echoing with screams of terror.

Meng Jiuxia was a little scared, so she tightly gripped Xu Chaoyan's sleeve: "Sister-in-law, the situation in this town is more serious than we imagined. Look at the state of things everywhere. Is it even possible to find a doctor?"

Xu Chaoyan gently comforted him, "He should be alright. Let's find a doctor to check on your brother first, and then let's go out into town and find a flat place. This place doesn't feel safe."

Meng Jiuxia nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

When they finally arrived at the clinic, they found that it was already packed with people, with many injured people lining up in long queues.

Meng Jiuxia looked worried: "With so many people, when will it be our turn? Big brother, he even coughed up blood today."

Xu Chaoyan looked around at the people, most of whom had injuries to their foreheads or arms.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sister-in-law, I'll watch you go to line up. It'll be our turn soon, don't rush. Right now, everyone's anxious, so don't panic."

Meng Jiuxia nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll listen to you. I'll go over first."

"Meng Jiu, what are you doing here?" A male voice suddenly came from over.

Xu Chaoyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Xuyang helping an old woman walk over from behind.

"Oh, it's you. Is someone in your family injured?"

Zhang Xuyang: "My mother's hand was hit."

Then he explained to him, Zhang Xuyang glanced at Meng Jiuhe and said, "I see that Brother Meng is quite badly injured. The doctor in this clinic is related to my family. I'll push him in first and let the doctor take a look at him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaoyan thanked him repeatedly and quickly asked Meng Jiuxia to come and keep an eye on the things on the wheelbarrow. She and Zhang Xuyang led Meng Jiuxia to the clinic from one side.

The clinic wasn't damaged much, except the door was knocked down. Fortunately, it was dismantled and a few tables were set up outside. Several apprentice doctors were still brewing medicine there. Fifteen minutes later, the doctor took Meng Jiuhe's pulse and examined his whole body before writing a prescription for Xu Chaoyan and the others to go and get the medicine.

After his mother finished applying the medicine, Zhang Xuyang came over to help: "It's getting late. Do you have a place to stay? I don't think you'll be able to brew the medicine anytime soon. Why don't you come to my house?"

Xu Chaoyan asked the young apprentice for a sip of hot water and is now feeding it to Meng Jiuhe little by little: "Thank you, but I won't trouble you any further."

Zhang Xuyang helped the woman to sit down: "Brother Meng and I were classmates, it's just a small matter."

Meng Jiuhe's complexion was still somewhat poor. The doctor had just said that his injuries were quite severe, as the heavy object had been pressing down on him. Fortunately, they managed to rescue him in time, but he must have suffered some internal injuries and would need to rest and recuperate.

But the current situation at the clinic doesn't allow it, and besides, it's a time of shortage of doctors and medicine. Xu Chaoyan had just said a lot of nice things, and that's why the doctor prescribed some extra medicine for them to take first, and then they could slowly rest.

She knew it was getting late and going back to the village was definitely not an option. She planned to take Meng Jiu and him to drink his medicine, then go to a flat spot outside the town to make a fire and spend the night there. She would then go back to the village early the next morning to check on the situation.

Zhang Xuyang continued to persuade them, "It's so late. Where can you take Brother Meng? He's seriously injured and can't afford to be out in the open. He needs to rest and recover. My house isn't big, but it can still accommodate you. Don't be so polite with me."

The old woman gave Xu Chaoyan a kind smile: "It's rare for Xuyang to meet his classmate. Please don't refuse, young lady, why don't you stay at my house for a while?"

Meng Jiuxia came over and tugged at her clothes, whispering, "Sister-in-law, why don't we stay at my brother's classmate's house for the night? Brother, it's not appropriate for us to stay outside in this situation. What if we catch a cold?"

Xu Chaoyan finally agreed, and the group slowly walked towards Zhang Xuyang's house, with Zhang Xuyang taking over pushing Meng Jiuxia's wheelchair.

Zhang Xuyang's home was about a quarter of an hour's walk from the clinic. Fortunately, the area was relatively spacious and the houses were not densely packed; only some thatched huts had collapsed.

Seeing Xu Chaoyan looking around, Zhang Xuyang began to explain: "There are not many people living in the area near my house, so when the earth shook, everyone reacted and ran out. Most of the thatched huts were shaken down, but only some tiles fell off in my yard."

He then pointed to a courtyard not far away: "That's my house. Be careful, some tiles just fell down in the yard, and we haven't had time to clean them up yet."

Xu Chaoyan then carefully examined the courtyard in front of her. The courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the gate was open. It was some distance from other houses, and there was an open space in front of it. It seemed alright. If the earth dragon continued to turn over, they would have a chance to escape.

Meng Jiuhe's body really can't take any more strain; he needs to rest properly.
