After Feng Qingqing left, the crowd gathered around was momentarily stunned. After a long while, some began to discuss the situation.

"You mean Feng, the educated youth, only studied at the commune hospital for three days straight? Does she even know how to treat patients?"

"Yes, if you ask me, we should get him to the commune hospital as soon as possible. We can't afford to waste time. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."

“This educated youth Feng is very good at farm work, but being a doctor is not something you can learn in a few days. I think it’s unlikely.”

"Of course! What does that little girl know? Old Tao's daughter, are you out of your mind to actually believe that?"

At this point, the old Tao family member, overwhelmed by the chatter around her, became uncertain. She looked at Tao Jiaping with a hesitant expression and said uncertainly:

"Jiaping, what do you suggest we do? How about... how about..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone next to her shouted loudly:

"Make way, make way, the oxcart is here! Quickly help the person onto the cart and get them to the commune hospital."

Those who don't know the situation might think they're waiting for a bus, and as soon as the bus arrives, they quickly call out to get on.

But those who knew the situation were now watching the Tao family closely, waiting to see what they would decide.

At this moment, Tao Jiaping's heart was in turmoil, unsure of what to do. He wanted to take his father to the commune right now, but thinking about the series of actions taken since Feng Qingqing arrived, which were as smooth as flowing water, he was no longer so sure.

Moreover, if, as Feng Qingqing said, something unexpected happens along the way, then it will be too late to regret it.

Just then, He Yong'an, who had witnessed the entire event, walked up to Tao Jiaping, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered:

“Since Dr. Feng has been appointed by the commune, you should trust her. Besides, she said she would be back soon and wouldn’t take much time. But what if Dr. Feng is telling the truth and something happens to you on the way? Think about the consequences.”

Tao Jiaping thought about the outcome, shuddered, and decided to wait.

Although they thought they should wait, the waiting time was really unbearable. Fortunately, Feng Qingqing didn't make them wait long. Soon, they saw a figure rushing towards them from a distance. Only when she got close did they realize that it was Feng Qingqing.

Before Feng Qingqing could catch her breath, she bent down and pushed Tao Jiaping aside, then slowly rubbed the freshly picked Panax notoginseng onto the wound.

Not long after, Feng Qingqing stood up and solemnly instructed Tao Jiaping:

"The toxicity has been temporarily suppressed. You should take your father to the commune hospital for a full check-up as soon as possible. There's still time."

Without waiting for Tao Jiaping's reaction, he walked over to Tao Dazhuang, held his head, and shouted at the still-stunned Tao Jiaping:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over here."

If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't look good when you hold him, you really wouldn't need him; he's such a burden.

"Okay, coming right away."

Once he came to his senses, Tao Jiaping rushed over and quickly lifted the person onto the cart.

The driver knew the gravity of the situation, so he didn't waste any words. He cracked his whip, and the car sped off towards the commune hospital.

As the car drove away, everyone came to their senses, and their gazes toward Feng Qingqing had changed slightly.

Although they didn't know the specifics of Tao Dazhuang's condition, which she had just treated, it didn't stop them from making a judgment: this Feng, when she was an educated youth, was one of the best workers in the brigade, and now that she was a sanitation worker, she was probably quite capable as well.

This young girl, though not very old, is truly adept at everything she does.

The other educated youth present shared similar thoughts. This Feng, like them, had spent three days studying at the commune hospital, but while they spent those three days memorizing booklets, he not only finished memorizing the booklets on the first day but also took turns studying in different departments. This was truly remarkable, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was far beyond their reach.

He sighed inwardly and silently went back to work.

Feng Qingqing didn't linger any longer. She glanced in He Yong'an's direction, slung her medicine box over her shoulder, and slowly walked back.

As she walked, she kept thinking back. She had a good memory, and when she saw Dr. Wang's book on Chinese medicine and the dried Panax notoginseng, she remembered that this kind of medicine grew on a hillside she had walked on before. She had been thinking of picking some when she had some free time, but she didn't expect to use it ahead of schedule this time.

Before returning, just to be on the safe side, she dripped a few drops of water from her spatial well onto the Panax notoginseng she had picked, believing that with the spatial water, Tao Dazhuang's snake venom would surely be able to hold out until he reached the commune hospital.

After returning to the clinic, Feng Qingqing first took the cart back to the brigade, and then cleaned the bedroom thoroughly. She then returned the camphor wood chest she had brought from the educated youth center to the kang (a heated brick bed) and made the bed.

Feng Qingqing was quite happy to be able to live alone again, since she had many secrets and was not suited to living with other people for a long time.

She found another piece of cloth in the room, sewed and patched it into a large curtain, and hung it on the back half of the bedroom. In this way, the back half of the bedroom was used for rest, while the front half could be used as an activity area or a guest reception area.

It makes good use of space and makes the bedroom feel cozy and compact.

After tidying up briefly, Feng Qingqing headed towards the fields. Although she had moved out today, she hadn't had a chance to tell Hu Fangming yet.

When they arrived at the village, Hu Fangming was quite surprised that Feng Qingqing had come to see her. After hearing her purpose, her expression clearly showed sadness and disappointment. Since going to the countryside, Feng Qingqing had been her only good friend, and they had lived and eaten together. She was finding it very difficult to adjust to Feng Qingqing moving away all at once.

Feng Qingqing knew what she was thinking, and she also wanted to stay informed about the situation at the educated youth settlement, so she spoke to Hu Fangming:

"The youth settlement isn't far from the clinic. If you'd like, we can continue eating together, but you'll still need to travel back and forth every day..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hu Fangming had already grinned widely and replied repeatedly:

"I do, I do, Qingqing, you're so wonderful."

Feng Qingqing was infected by her smile and also smiled slightly.

Because it was getting late, and Old Mietou's son would be delivering the furniture later, Feng Qingqing went home early. She had promised to come to Feng Qingqing's place for lunch.

On her way back, since she wasn't in a hurry, Feng Qingqing strolled along the path, admiring the beautiful autumn harvest while reflecting on the day's events. When she reached a haystack, she suddenly heard a woman's voice, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Feng Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine, realizing something was wrong. She slowed her pace and gradually moved closer to the sound.

"Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, I will definitely fulfill the conditions I promised you."
