Chapter 229 I Won't Give Up On You

The situation in the mountains was not as optimistic as what we saw at the foot of the mountain. Because of the earthquake, many places collapsed, exposing the originally moist ground. Many ferns died under the continued high temperature.

Some of them grew out again tenaciously, but not all ferns can be used as medicine. The key is to find the Smilax glabra.

"Is it there?" Yang Qing suddenly pointed under a tree and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, that's it!" Bian Chengjun looked over and immediately picked up the medicine hoe and walked over.

The main medicinal use of the rhizome of Guanzhong is to use a medicinal hoe to dig out its rhizome completely.

The main purpose of cultivation is its spores.

The leaves of the Chinese smilax china are pinnate, and the back of the leaves are covered with densely packed spore sacs. When the plant turns from green to yellow-brown, the spores inside will mature and can be used for reproduction.

The plant you see is still green. The roots can be used as medicine, but the spores are not mature yet and cannot be planted.

Yang Qing began to focus on looking for Guan Zhong, whose color had changed.

A few more people found a few more plants and dug them out carefully.

When Chen Rou saw Yang Qing looking for the Guanzhong with spore powder, she was afraid that she would take all the credit away, so she followed her, hoping to grab it before she found out.

Suddenly, Chen Rou screamed "Ah" and her body slid down. Behind her was a collapsed mountain road. She screamed and desperately grabbed at the side, trying to grab something.

Finally she grabbed a stone and her whole body was suspended in the air.

"Help!" Chen Rou shouted anxiously.

Yang Qing quickly slid down the same way she had slid down. When she reached the rock, she found that the soil beside it began to loosen.

Yang Qing quickly lay down on the stone and stretched out his hand to Chen Rou, "Quick, grab my hand!"

Chen Rou had no strength left. She had already used up all her strength to cling to the rock and could not move at all.

Yang Qing had no choice but to move forward again, reached out and grabbed one of Chen Rou's hands, but there was no way to pull her up in this position.

Leng Yi heard the noise and quickly ran down from above, "Qingqing, hold on!"

Zhang Ke and Bian Chengjun were both shocked and wanted to go over, but Leng Yi stopped them, "Don't move. That place can't hold so many people anymore. Go upstairs."

Leng Yi took out a rope from his bag, tied it to a big tree, tied one end to himself, and then slid down little by little.

Zhang Ke and Bian Chengjun looked at the three people below with concern.

Yang Qing was holding an adult with one hand, and it was very strenuous, with sweat coming out on his forehead.

Chen Rou looked at Yang Qing with tears in her eyes, "Yang Qing, please don't let go."

"I won't fight with you for Zhang Ke anymore. Please save me!"

Yang Qing was really angry. "My husband and I have a very good relationship. Who would want to compete with you for Zhang Ke? I came down to save you because you are my classmate and someone who can contribute to the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine."

"Since I came down to save you, I won't give up on you. Hold on tight!"

"Yang Qing..." Chen Rou looked at Yang Qing blankly, thinking that she would definitely not save her.

Yang Qing continued, "If you want Zhang Ke to fall in love with you, you can't do that by slandering me. You have to become better yourself so that he can see your good side."

"It's not just him. If you meet other men, it's the same. Don't elevate yourself by belittling other women. If you are good enough, men will naturally be attracted to you."

"If you don't understand this, you'll never get a man's heart."

Chen Rou was a little unconvinced, "You are just talking nonsense. You already have a husband, and you say that..."

Yang Qing laughed in anger, "That's because my husband and I are in love with each other and appreciate each other, so we slowly fell in love with each other. If he didn't love me, I wouldn't be a bootlicker."

"Besides, it's the end of the world now. Can't we survive without a man? Look at Teacher Xie, she's still not alone. She's accomplished a lot, she's outstanding enough, and she still has the respect and love of so many people. No one looks down on her just because she doesn't have a husband!"

"So, Chen Rou, first, I won't compete with you for Zhang Ke. I've never liked him. Even if I'm not good enough, Zhang Ke won't like you unless you're excellent."

"Second, the earth will continue to rotate even without men. If you pin your hopes for happiness on men, you will never be able to find true happiness in your life."

"That's all I have to say. If you still want to treat me as your imaginary enemy, I can't help it."

Yang Qing held Chen Rou's hand tightly. Although she didn't like this woman, she hadn't done anything against the law after all, so she would not stand by and watch her die.

Chen Rou felt mixed emotions. In the past few years, she had put all her heart on Zhang Ke, but he had always been lukewarm towards her, which made her feel depressed.

She was able to persevere because she believed that as long as she treated him well, his cold heart would be warmed by her.

But when she met Yang Qing again, she was living such a comfortable life, her husband was so outstanding, and Zhang Ke was still obsessed with her. Her jealousy instantly reached its peak.

Only now did she realize how ignorant she was, how humble her life was, and how she had wasted so much time on a man.

Yang Qing was right. She could live well even without a man. She was no worse than others in being able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination. Why did she have to always look at Zhang Ke's face?

Love shouldn't be like this.

It should be like Yang Qing and Leng Yi, who love each other, appreciate each other, and look at each other with eyes full of love.

After realizing this, Chen Rou burst into tears. She felt that all the years she had spent on it were not worth it.

Yang Qing thought Chen Rou was scared, and quickly said, "Don't worry, my husband will come to save us. As long as you don't let go, I won't give up on you!"

"Thank you, Yang Qing!" Chen Rou's eyes were red.

Leng Yi walked down quickly, first untied the rope on his body and tied it to Yang Qing's body, then squatted on the stone, grabbed Chen Rou's hand and lifted it up with force, and lifted her up.

"Hurry up and get on top, this stone won't hold on for much longer!" Leng Yi said.

Yang Qing untied the rope and swung it back, "You all grab the rope, and we'll climb up together."

Leng Yi let Chen Rou stay in the middle while he himself covered the rear.

Zhang Ke and Bian Chengjun quickly grabbed the rope and pulled it up.

When the three of them reached a safe place, the stone fell down with a "boom".

Chen Rou, still frightened, threw herself into Bian Chengjun's arms and cried, "Teacher Bian, I thought I would never see you again."

Bian Chengjun patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay now, don't be afraid!"

"But this time you really have to thank Yang Qing and her husband. If it weren't for them, you might not be alive."

Chen Rou nodded, looked at Yang Qing and Leng Yi with red eyes, and said sincerely for the first time: "Thank you!"

Yang Qing smiled faintly, "I'm glad you're okay. It's not safe here. Let's find some medicine quickly and go back early!"

Everyone go to a safe place.

Leng Yi picked up Yang Qing's hand. Her hand was red from being grabbed by Chen Rou. Leng Yi rubbed it distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, just my arm is a little sore." Yang Qing smiled.

Leng Yi sighed, "Don't do this next time. When saving others, you must first ensure your own safety."

"I know. Wasn't it an emergency at the time?" Yang Qing said, "If I really couldn't hold on any longer, I would have let go. I'm not stupid. My life is more important than anyone else's."

"I'm glad you know!" Leng Yi nodded and hugged Yang Qing in his arms. He was really scared to death just now.
