This time, after Lin Qingyan finished work, she did not see Yi Zhiheng on the road.

The child probably stopped following her because he wanted to avoid any suspicion.

In the nearby cornfield, a pair of lecherous eyes lurked in the shadows. When they saw her alone, their triangular eyes narrowed into slits.

Let's observe her first and see if she has any male educated youth protecting her on her way from here to the educated youth settlement. If not, he'll intercept her after work tomorrow, take her to a secluded place, and have some fun with her.

Er Laizi was secretly pleased with himself, but Lin Qingyan, who was walking on the road, did not notice him hiding in the shadows at all.

As Lin Qingyan walked, she suddenly saw a small white rabbit by the roadside. Whether it was out of a natural fondness for such small animals or curiosity about wild rabbits, she quietly walked up to the rabbit.

The little rabbit, with its two fluffy hind legs, didn't run very fast, but Lin Qingyan, due to her physical condition, would feel short of breath and chest tightness if she walked even slightly faster, and couldn't catch up with it.

After chasing each other for a while, the rabbit ran behind a haystack. Lin Qingyan walked over with small, quick steps, trying not to make any noise that might startle the rabbit.

She stared intently at the haystack, very cautiously, and tiptoed over.

However, when he saw the scene behind the haystack, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

She saw a young girl sitting by a haystack, holding a shard of porcelain in one hand. The edge of the shard looked quite sharp. Her other wrist was exposed, and the sharp part of the shard was pressed against the skin of her wrist.

This girl is threatening to commit suicide by cutting her wrists!

"don't want!"

She gasped in surprise.

The girl trembled with fright upon hearing her voice and abruptly raised her head.

Lin Qingyan realized that the girl was the same girl she had seen walking with her head down on the way to work in the fields that morning.

When the girl saw her, she looked slightly flustered and instinctively put away the porcelain shard in her hand and hid her other exposed wrist.

Lin Qingyan thought that people who attempt suicide are usually trapped in extremely difficult circumstances, and their minds must be very fragile at this time. She had to be very careful when talking to her and must not upset the girl any further.

She took a few steps forward and asked the girl, "You, you're so young, why are you thinking about, cough cough cough~ can't you think straight?"

Lin Qingyan was probably too excited just now, and her scream aggravated her lungs, so she was coughing incessantly.

"Cough cough cough~"

The girl looked embarrassed and her expression was very unnatural.

She was about to get up and leave when she saw Lin Qingyan clutching her chest and coughing incessantly, looking like she was in great pain.

She thought for a moment, then dropped the porcelain shard in her hand, walked up to Lin Qingyan, and gently patted Lin Qingyan's back.

How are you?

Lin Qingyan was still coughing so badly she couldn't speak, but after a while, she gradually stopped coughing.

Her whole face was flushed red from coughing.

She waved to the girl and said, "I'm feeling better."

But the girl saw a pool of blood on her palm.

He looked at her with surprise and pity: "You, you coughed up blood, you must be very sick."

Seeing that Lin Qingyan was a stranger, she guessed that she must be an educated youth who had been sent down to their area. She had seen her going to the fields this morning, and despite being so sick, she still insisted on going to work.

Lin Qingyan took out a handkerchief from her bag, wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and palms, then folded the handkerchief and put it back in her bag.

She took the girl's hand: "I'm still feeling very unwell. Could you help me sit under the haystack for a while?"

"good."

At first, the girl didn't dare to face Lin Qingyan directly. But when she realized that Lin Qingyan wasn't staring at her face, her defenses relaxed a lot, and she wasn't so averse to being with Lin Qingyan.

After the two girls sat down, the girl said, "I've never seen you before. You must be a new educated youth who just arrived here. But you look very sick. How could your parents bear to let you go to the countryside? Can you handle the work here?"

She glanced at Lin Qingyan's figure again; she was so thin, almost skinny, that she looked like a stick.

Lin Qingyan said, "I have no parents or siblings. I am all alone in my family. I have been sickly since I was a child. In addition to enduring the torment of illness, the chronic illnesses have accumulated over the years and are getting more and more serious. I don't know how much longer I can live."

"Oh? So you're in such a terrible situation!" the girl exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Qingyan smiled and asked in return, "Am I that miserable? I don't think so. At least God hasn't taken my life yet, allowing me to continue living. I can take care of myself now, I can work, I can breathe the free air outside, see these beautiful landscapes, and see the dazzling sun. I'm already very content."

I once heard an old saying, "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death." We only have one life, and if we cherish it, we'll find it truly precious. Therefore, we should cherish it doubly. Even if I only have one more day to live, I will strive to make today as wonderful as possible.

Although I have no family, I have friends, and friendship is beautiful and warm, something I cherish very much. Therefore, I still possess many precious things and should live life to the fullest.

When the girl heard her say this and saw the smile on her face as she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head slightly, her expression seemingly somewhat ashamed.

She has almost nothing left, yet she can still laugh at life. She has a healthy body and a family that loves and cares for her. Why is she so depressed?

Seeing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Lin Qingyan did not disturb her for the time being.

She covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

The girl realized what was happening and quickly patted her back: "Are you still feeling unwell? Do you have any medicine? Should we see a doctor?"

Lin Qingyan shook her head: "It's nothing. I take my medicine on time every day. My body is just like this. It will get better in a while. There's no need to make a fuss." After saying that, she coughed heavily several more times.

The girl was probably worried about Lin Qingyan, so she stayed by her side and didn't leave.
