Zhao Di nodded: "Let me give it a try, and besides, you won't need it anymore once you're healed."

Zhao Feng's face was firm: "Zhao Di is right. Since you say this medicine is useful, then I will go up and pick it for you, so that your injury can heal faster."

Suddenly, Zhao Lian was inexplicably moved. She hadn't expected her eldest and second eldest sisters to be so kind. This was a stroke of luck amidst her misfortune.

Zhao Lian nodded: "Okay! Then be careful."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lian told Zhao Feng a rough plan, instructing her to first climb up the ladder to the roof of the woodshed, and then see if she could climb up to the rocky hill next to it.

Zhao Feng climbed the ladder with trembling legs. She was scared, as she was timid and had never climbed so high before.

But when she thought about how the medicine would help her sister's injury, she felt no fear at all.

With trembling legs, Zhao Feng climbed onto the roof of the woodshed. Although the house was old and dilapidated, it could still support the weight of a child weighing several dozen kilograms.

Zhao Feng stood on the roof, looking down at Zhao Di and Zhao Lian. She swayed and suddenly felt a little dizzy, so she quickly closed her eyes.

Zhao Lian said anxiously, "Big sister, be careful! If you can't handle it, you should come down!"

Zhao Feng calmed herself down and opened her eyes. She then waved her hand to signal them not to worry.

She looked around and saw that the woodshed was not far from the nearby rocky hill, within arm's reach, but climbing up it would be difficult because the rock face was smooth.

A little further up, there were some plants, but Zhao Feng couldn't reach them. She took two steps forward and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small gap in the rock in front of her.

She tentatively stretched out her foot, stepped on it, and found it to be very stable. Then, she climbed up, and luckily the rocks there were a bit uneven, which she could use for leverage.

She gently climbed up the stone, while Zhao Lian and Zhao Di below held their breath, not daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing Zhao Feng and causing her to lose her composure.

Finally, Zhao Feng climbed up and carefully reached the crevice in the rock. She stretched out her hand and found that she could just reach it.

"That's great!" Zhao Feng exclaimed happily.

Seeing Zhao Feng climb up, Zhao Di and Zhao Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Lian shouted at the top of her lungs, "Big sister, pull some down, I'll plant them here later."

"Okay, got it!"

Zhao Feng originally intended to pluck a small handful, but seeing that there weren't many of them to begin with, and that they rarely climbed up, she simply pulled them all out.

After pulling them all up, Zhao Feng had a large handful in her hand. She started walking back, found a vine, tied the 100,000 coins together, and threw them into the yard.

"Big sister, be careful."

Zhao Lian knew that sometimes going down a mountain was harder than going up, especially when it was rocky. When coming down, the rocks would obstruct her view, and she wouldn't know where to step.

Sure enough, Zhao Feng looked around and realized she couldn't find her way down because the rocks above blocked her way.

I want to face inwards, but that's impossible. And if I face outwards, I don't know where to put my feet.

How can this be possible?

Zhao Feng was in a panic, running around in circles.

"Don't rush, big sister, take your time!"

Zhao Lian knew that if she got anxious now, she would lose her sense of judgment and her mind would become a mess, making it even harder to make a decision later.

Zhao Feng took a deep breath and carefully searched the spot where she had come up, finally finding the small groove.

He then gently squatted down, trying to step on the stones with one foot. Once he was steady, he slowly lowered his hand down, and in this way, he finally made it back to the roof of the woodshed without any danger.

Having learned from her previous experience, it was much easier to go down the ladder this time, and Zhao Feng quickly reached the underground.

Zhao Lian rushed over and hugged Zhao Feng tightly, unable to hold back her tears, saying, "Thank you, big sister!"

"Don't thank me! You're my sister, who else would I help if not you?" Zhao Feng patted her shoulder.

Zhao Lian wiped away her tears. She knew that time was of the essence and she couldn't delay her older sisters for too long, as they still needed to go dig for wild vegetables later.

If I delay and get back late, they'll definitely get beaten again. I can't let them get beaten because of me.

Zhao Lian took a wooden basin and a small handful of 100,000 coins and washed them in the water.

After washing it, I crushed it in a ceramic bowl and then applied it to Zhao Feng and Zhao Di.

Zhao Lian knew that this medicine could actually be eaten as a wild vegetable, but it was a bit toxic and couldn't be eaten in large quantities. For now, she would just apply it externally.

Zhao Feng said with delight, "I must say, this stuff really feels quite comfortable when you apply it. Zhao Lian, I'll apply it to you later too."

After applying the medicine to the two of them, Zhao Feng mashed some more medicine and had Zhao Lian lie on the bed while she applied it to her body.

The medicine is cool and refreshing; when applied, the wound immediately feels less tight.

After applying the medicine to the wound, Zhao Feng then poured the dregs of the medicine onto the more severely injured areas.

Zhao Lian said to Zhao Feng and Zhao Feng, "Eldest sister, second sister, it's getting late, you two should hurry up and go."

"Take a small handful of this medicine and apply it to yourselves when you have time tomorrow. You'd better not come over here too often, or you'll get beaten up again if that old woman finds out."

"Old woman?"

Zhao Feng looked on with suspicion, then suddenly realized that Zhao Lian was referring to her grandmother.

Zhao Feng frowned and said, "Zhao Lian, she is still our grandmother, how can you call her that!"

Zhao Lian's lips twitched and she sneered, "I have nothing to do with her now. If that old woman hits you again, I'll beat her up the next time I see her!"

Zhao Feng quickly covered her mouth and said in a panic, "Zhao Lian, you can't say things like that. Do you hear me? You can't say things like that again."

Zhao Di said with a look of surprise, "Zhao Lian, you are amazing. I remember you were not so bold before."

"Hmph!" Zhao Lian said smugly, "That's because the Broom Star Immortal taught me kung fu. I'll teach you kung fu after I recover."

Zhao Feng and Zhao Di were both amused and exasperated. They wondered if their younger sister had suffered some aftereffects from falling and injuring her head last time, as she kept referring to the jinx.

Luckily, I'm not at the He family's house right now, otherwise who knows what trouble might have arisen.

Zhao Feng shook her head and said, "We won't take this medicine with us. We'll see if we can come over tomorrow. If we do, we can apply it to you again. If you apply it for a few days, it should help you recover faster."

Zhao Lian nodded and instructed, "Okay, then you must be careful and make sure that old woman doesn't find out."

"I understand!" Zhao Feng said, standing up.

After they went out, they locked the door behind them.

Suddenly, a child's voice rang out from not far behind.

"Ah, I knew you were here. You're all doomed. You actually came to see this jinx."

Zhao Feng had just locked the door when she heard He Fang's voice.

Zhao Feng's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw He Fang, He Dong, He Yue'e, and a few others standing not far away, sneering at them.

"Oh no, they've found out!" Zhao Di said with a mournful face.

"Don't be afraid, we've already been discovered anyway." Zhao Feng was no longer afraid.
