With Duoshou under his control, Duolu returned to the old map, but he was still determined to reclaim his era of madness.

When Dorje is focused on something, his mental capacity will increase dramatically in a short period of time, turning him from an average-intelligent child into a smart one.

He and Duoxi whispered to each other in a corner for a while and came to the conclusion that the adults in the family and his older brother would not stop Duoshou from using drugs on him, and even wanted Duoshou to control him.

Because he didn't know how to use the medicine, he could only take the beatings.

Duolu wanted to learn how to make medicine so he could fight back, but there were too many medicinal herbs to memorize. He couldn't stay still and listened to Rujia for a while before giving up on this path.

After analyzing the situation further, Duolu concluded that after eliminating Yu Rujia, Gao Shujing, and Duofu, the only person in his family who might be able to help him was his close friend Gao Guojing.

Dorjee found him and told him about his troubles.

Duolu: "...Uncle Guojing, what do you think I should do to counter Duoshou's medicine?"

Looking at the two gloomy-faced children in front of him, Gao Guojing felt no sympathy; Duolu was just too unruly.

Gao Guojing: "If you two little rascals didn't always think about running up the mountain, wouldn't Duoshou have been less likely to drug you?"

Duolu pouted and said, "There are good things on the mountain, I want to go and see."

Gao Guojing: "Even if there are good things, you won't be able to tell the difference without an adult present."

Duolu started using his charm, and Duoxi also clung to Gao Guojing's leg, rubbing against him. Whenever he rubbed against his aunt like this, she would be especially easy to talk to.

Gao Guojing couldn't withstand the attack of the two adorable little creatures and pulled the soft bun out.

Then Gao Guojing proposed an unfeasible idea: "If you want to deal with Duoshou's medicine, you either need to learn how to make medicine so that no matter what medicine he uses, you can counteract it, then there won't be any problems, right?"

Duolu hung his head, he really didn't want to remember so much: "Uncle Guojing, the medicinal herbs are hard to memorize."

Gao Guojing: "If you don't want to memorize it, then you can only improve your martial arts skills. In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through. If your martial arts skills can be faster than Duo Shou's speed in administering the drug, then he won't be able to do anything to you, right?"

If Duolu's martial arts skills were that good, he wouldn't be in any danger even if he went up the mountain.

Gao Guojing painted a pie in the sky for Duolu, but the young Duolu couldn't tell the difference.

The little guy loved practicing martial arts. He learned from his older friends that mastering martial arts could help him escape Duoshou's clutches, so he practiced even more diligently and became the family's martial arts expert.

As a result, Duolu reduced the time he spent going out to play, so that Duoshou no longer had to chase him around and could spend more time practicing martial arts and studying medicine.

Duolu doesn't go out to play much, and Duoxi, his follower, has also lost interest in going out to play. He has started practicing martial arts with his dear second brother. The little guy now has a small goal: to defeat his third brother, Duoshou, and avenge his second brother.

While the Yu family's children were striving for improvement, Qi Tianxin's frequent visits to the Yu family caught Zou Jiahui's attention.

Yu Rujia is a skilled doctor. Under her treatment, Qi Tianxin is no longer someone who would be out of breath after walking just a few steps. Now, after finishing her work, she still has the energy to wander around.

She wanted more medicine to completely cure her illness, and Zou Jiahui agreed. He was pursuing Qi Tianxin with marriage in mind, and her improved health would greatly reduce his burden.

But is it really necessary to go to the Yu family's house so frequently?

He had seen the pills she used before; there was no need for her to take freshly made ones every day. He could simply buy more to keep on hand.

He knew the price of the pills; the money that Qi Tianxin had taken from him was enough to buy a month or two's worth of pills.

Qi Tianxin goes to the Yu family every few days, and he doesn't believe that she only goes there to buy medicine.

In order to find out the truth, when Qi Tianxin came to the Yu family again, Zou Jiahui secretly followed her.

They discovered that Qi Tianxin didn't go into Yu Rujia's area, but instead entered through Gao Shujing's courtyard gate.

Although the two courtyards are connected, there is only a door at the junction of the eaves of the back courtyard for easy access. Everything else remains the same, so it is still two front courtyards with two doors.

Qi Tianxin stood in front of the bike shed and looked inside. Gao Shujing, that roadblock, was indeed not there. Only Gao Guojing was busy inside. This time, she could finally talk to him.

Qi Tianxin asked knowingly, "Gao Zhiqing, isn't Cadre Gao here?"

Gao Guojing looked up at her, his hands still busy disassembling parts: "Yeah, my brother went to town. What brings you here again?"

Qi Tianxin: "When Gao, the educated youth, came to the brigade, he had never been to the educated youth compound. We were educated youths who came to the countryside together, so we must have common topics."

"If you have time, you can come and visit. The educated youth in the educated youth compound are all easy to get along with. You'll see that when you come here."

Kao Kuo-Ching: "I'm so busy every day, I'll talk about this when I have time."

Why would someone leave their perfectly good home to go to a place like a youth settlement where all sorts of people gather and spend time with a bunch of strangers with whom they have no connection? How many times must his brain have been slammed in a door to do something like that?

Instead of wasting time on this, you should go up the mountain and find some good food.

Chestnuts are in season right now. Although Sister Jia buys some peeled chestnuts every year and her family is not short of money, buying chestnuts is not as fun as picking them yourself in the mountains.

In previous years, during the chestnut harvest season, he was either busy bringing back things to Jiangcheng or had already returned to Jiangcheng. This year, he was determined to go up the mountain and pick some chestnuts.

He could work with his hands and talk to others without affecting his inner thoughts; he had truly mastered the art of multitasking.

Qi Tianxin: "If you're really that busy, I can help you with some things."

Gao Guojing: "No need. You don't understand parts. If I let you in, you'll just mess around and make things even harder for me."

He didn't understand at first, but after being in the Shangfen Brigade for a while, Gao Shujing would ask him to do some things. His repair skills weren't as good as Gao Shujing's, but they were enough to get by for most people.

It was precisely because of Gao Shujing's foresight that he was able to go to work in the fields under the sun or in the wind and rain like other educated youth when he came to the countryside, and no one would say anything to him if he slacked off at home.

Qi Tianxin persisted, saying, "I can learn! I learn things very quickly."

Seeing this, Zou Jiahui, who was lying by the door, knew exactly what Qi Tianxin was planning. She had climbed the social ladder and was planning to abandon him for Gao Guojing.

Gao Guojing is indeed better than him in every way, so it's understandable that Qi Tianxin chose him. However, he was very unhappy that she was spending his money to climb up to Gao Guojing.
