The hungry group returned to Tianxin Village and didn't linger, heading home separately.

Lu Qiqi was the same.

I left in a hurry last night, and the gate was only slightly ajar. With a gentle push, it opened.

She went straight to the kitchen, opened the ash bin in the corner, and found the flatbread that Li Changlong had stored.

He picked up a cloth bag of flatbread and headed towards the main room.

At this time, Li Changlong and the other three also returned to the house one after another.

Dr. Huang was hit hard by Dr. Luo several times, and he could barely walk properly. He was the last person to enter the room.

Lu Qiqi placed the cloth bag on the square table without looking up.

Then she picked up a flatbread and started eating it. From last night until today, she had only eaten one flatbread and had been able to keep going until now.

She chewed the hard, dry bread, and her teeth started to ache.

Her displeasure overwhelmed all her senses at that moment.

It made her think that even when she was fleeing famine, she had never been so hungry!

Everyone else was starving, so they opened their cloth bags, took out the cakes, and started biting.

Dr. Huang knew he was in the wrong and felt that his stupidity had ruined things and caused a lot of trouble for everyone.

He rubbed his lower back and went to fetch a pot of water for everyone, so they wouldn't choke.

However, to his utter surprise, what he had in mind actually came true.

"Water! Get some water right now!"

Li Changlong suddenly shouted.

Ignoring his aching back, Dr. Huang grabbed the kettle and hurried out of the kitchen.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Li Changlong snatched the water bottle from Dr. Huang's hand and quickly poured water for Dr. Luo.

Dr. Luo choked on the pancake until his face turned red. He lowered his head and stuck his index finger into his throat, trying to pry the pancake out.

On Monday, I stood beside him and gently patted his back, hoping it would help.

Just as they were all focused on pouring water, Lu Qiqi had already circled around to behind Doctor Luo.

She gently slapped Zhou Yi's hand away, then scooped up Doctor Luo and pulled him to a more spacious area in the main room.

With both hands wrapped around Dr. Luo's abdomen, two fingers' width around his navel, one hand clenched into a fist and the other hand cupping the fist, he suddenly pressed hard on his abdomen.

Use the Heimlich maneuver to allow Dr. Lo to expel the foreign object.

"Cough cough cough!"

The dough stuck in his throat fell to the ground instantly, becoming a muddy mess.

After Lu Qiqi released Doctor Luo, she saw him leaning against the wall, breathing heavily, as if all his strength had been drained away by the dough that had choked him earlier.

He thought he was about to ascend to heaven, and if that had happened, it would have been a terrible death!

Lu Qiqi clapped her hands, glanced at the bowl in Li Changlong's hand, and said, "It's alright, clean up and continue eating."

Li Changlong put down his bowl, and together with Zhou Yi, helped Dr. Luo down from the wall to sit down. Then he picked up the water in the bowl and handed it to Dr. Luo.

Dr. Luo felt very uncomfortable with the water stuck in his throat, but after drinking it, he immediately felt much better.

On Monday, I went to get a broom and swept away the clump of dirt to avoid it becoming an eyesore.

Li Changlong straddled Lu Qiqi, his eyes seemingly sparkling, and asked with curiosity, "Qiqi, where did you learn those amazing moves you just made?"

Lu Qiqi was taken aback by his question. If Doctor Luo hadn't been there, she could have made up a story, saying that she had seen it used by the barefoot doctor next door before they fled the famine.

But now that she is the one who treated the barefoot doctor, it's really not appropriate to make things up.

Thinking that if he didn't answer, Li Changlong wouldn't press him further, he continued eating his flatbread.

When she looked up, she found three pairs of eyes staring straight at her, waiting for her answer.

Knowing full well that he couldn't escape questioning, he decided to continue making things up.

So she said, "My mother taught me."

When Li Changlong thought of that gentle woman and looked at Lu Qiqi's smiling face, he felt as if he were seeing a shadow of his memories.

Everyone present knew that Lu Qiqi's parents had died, so they stopped talking about it and silently picked up their pancakes and continued eating.

This time, however, no one was in a hurry, afraid of choking on the pancake like Dr. Luo, scratching their throat and cheeks.

It looked like an uncivilized monkey.

So ugly!

After finishing the pancakes, Doctor Luo didn't want to waste a moment longer and wanted Lu Qiqi to take out the Resurrection Grass and distribute it.

Lu Qiqi carefully placed the resurrection herb in a cloth bag. When she opened the bag, she could see Doctor Luo's eyes light up.

The small clump of resurrection grass that Doctor Luo asked Lu Qiqi to pick is all here.

Lu Qiqi put all the resurrection herbs she found later into her spatial storage.

She wasn't generous enough to share the resurrection herb, which she had risked her life for, with Doctor Luo, so she didn't mention anything else.

"We agreed beforehand that I would go to gather herbs and I would get 60/40 of the profits."

As Lu Qiqi spoke, she cut the resurrection grass in two.

Doctor Luo watched helplessly as Lu Qiqi took away most of the Resurrection Grass, feeling as if a small knife had pierced his chest.

I feel nothing but heartache!

However, he quickly composed himself and happily put away the remaining resurrection grass.

Lu Qiqi looked down at the resurrection grass and said, "Second brother, the villagers have helped a lot. Today, let's help Doctor Luo and Zhou Yi get rid of bad luck and treat everyone to a meal."

"Go to the street and buy some mutton, we'll make soup to nourish ourselves."

As she spoke, Lu Qiqi took out a purse and handed it to Li Changlong, saying, "We'll be staying in Tianxin Village for a while longer. Take this money first, and let me know when you've used it up so we can buy some more wine."

Li Changlong took the purse and went out to buy mutton.
