Yang Hongmei was quick and nimble, quickly filling a box and handing it to Qingshan for inspection. Seeing the intact, large-bodied blister beetles in the box, Qingshan nodded in appreciation, thinking Yang Hongmei was a meticulous and efficient worker.

"Sister Hongmei, these little blister beetles are of very good quality, better than the ones I caught! Thank you for your hard work, Sister Hongmei."

When Yang Hongmei heard Qingshan say this, a blush appeared on her round face. She picked up an empty box and continued to catch blister beetles.

Yang Hongmei knew that even people of Mr. Gao and Mr. Zhan's stature treated Chen Qingshan with such respect, suggesting this young woman must be quite influential. Having worked at Marriott for five or six years, she'd met many powerful women, all of whom were unruly, headstrong, and looked down upon. She'd assumed Chen Qingshan was similar, but over the past few days, she'd discovered she was genuine, gentle, and respectful, with a composure that belied a fifteen-year-old. She was cheerful and easygoing, often telling her amusing stories about unusual people and people, yet she wasn't rigid either. Sometimes, she'd deliberately tease Mr. Zhan, making her laugh.

In short, she felt that Chen Qingshan was a very likable girl, and she treated Qingshan as her sister sincerely. She was genuinely happy to be able to help Qingshan.

Qingshan grabbed another box, and remembered that Zhan Feng had not appeared for a long time. He was afraid that he had walked too far and got lost, so he got up to look for him.

But when I looked up, I saw Master Zhan standing in front of a forsythia bush fifty meters away. He raised his hand and slapped his neck, scratching and clawing. Then he jumped up and clenched his hands in the air, muttering to himself:

"Douli Loumou—I told you to sting me, so I could capture you and use you as a medicine inducer for the little genius doctor, hehe!"

Qingshan held her forehead with her hand. If she was not mistaken, the thing that Zhan Feng had just thrown into the plastic jar was a wasp. What a fool!

Qingshan came up to Zhan Feng and patted him on the shoulder. Zhan Feng turned around and saw that it was Chen Qingshan. He immediately stood up and took out a plastic jar and handed it to Qingshan like he was presenting a treasure.

"Little doctor, look, look, I caught so many!"

When Qingshan saw the large and small, colorful insects in the jar, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

In fact, the yellow and black blister beetle's orange-patterned elytra are very distinctive, and most people will not mistake them after seeing them. However, Zhan Feng is definitely a weirdo. In his opinion, all Coleoptera insects are the same, so most of the insects in the jar are brightly colored seven-spotted ladybugs, and a small part are stinking toon plants, commonly known as stinky toon plants. There are only three or four small blister beetles lying at the bottom of the jar, trembling with fear because of the wasp that just came in.

Qingshan picked out the small blister beetles and put them into his own jar. He returned the remaining insects to Zhanfeng, gave him a thumbs-up, gave him a look that showed he was caring for mentally retarded children, and walked to the other side of the forsythia bush.

Zhan Feng thought Qingshan was praising him, so he hummed a song proudly and continued to squat down and catch ladybugs.

Qingshan smiled bitterly: This young master is just here to make up the numbers, I can't rely on him, I still have to rely on myself.

After nearly an hour, the blister beetles in the forsythia bush were nearly all gone. Qingshan looked at the seven jars filled with tiny insects and nodded with satisfaction. He knew he wouldn't have to catch blister beetles again for the next few years.

Everyone headed up the mountain early in the morning, feeling a bit hungry after such a long day. Yang Hongmei pulled out the vacuum-packed food from her bag, and the three of them sat on the ground, resting and eating. Qingshan, using his backpack as cover, pulled a few peaches from the space to share with Yang Hongmei and Zhan Feng to quench their thirst. With the space gaining more land, Qingshan planted a few more fruit trees. The peach and jujube trees were already bearing fruit, now laden with vibrant red and pink fruit, a delightful sight.

The two had never eaten such delicious sweet peaches before. Zhan Feng was not satisfied with eating three, and stared at Qingshan's backpack eagerly, as if he had to open it to see if there was anything else.

When he learned the peaches were all gone, he completely darkened, like a husky with its tail drooping. Qingshan was both angry and amused, and lied to him that the peaches were from Lian City and he would give him a few more pounds when he got back. Only then did Zhan Shao feel happy. If he had a tail behind him, it would be wagging its shadow by now.

The three people rested for a while and continued to the next location to look for another medicinal herb - golden leech.
