This was the last day of Qinghe Road.
Su Qiao is picking herbs on the mountain.
The spiritual energy in the space is now slowly recovering.
The vegetables and fruits grown there also have very pleasing health benefits.
The quality of land can be improved, and so can the quality of medicines.
Given that those grains did not sell.
She decided to try a different approach.
Otherwise, we could collect more wild medicinal herbs and cultivate them.
It's normal for medicinal herbs to be more effective.
As for fruits and vegetables, we can just plant another batch if needed. It's not much trouble, and it can be done in a day.
With that in mind, Su Qiao expanded the area of the medicinal herb field in the space.
Currently, medicinal herb fields and ordinary fields each account for half of the land.
Su Qiao put all the herbs she had collected from the mountain inside, but unfortunately many of them were geographically restricted and could not be found here.
Just as she was feeling regretful, Little White suddenly started giving her a warning.
Only then did she notice that Wang Zhihua had suddenly broken away from the group.
They walked towards the shore.
He kept glancing around, looking like he had a guilty conscience.
Xiao Bai naturally followed Wang Zhihua.
A short while later, he stopped behind a tree, where a corner of his clothes was visible.
There is clearly another person.
Xiao Bai walked a little further back, and a somewhat familiar profile appeared before her.
It wasn't very close.
Su Qiao didn't quite remember who it was, only that it should be someone from the village.
The two people were speaking in broken, intermittent voices.
"We never expected Su Qiao to be willing to give up so many work points..."
"I don't care... all I know is that I've lost a wife, and you have to give me another one."
"Or should I compensate you with Yao Qing?"
"Don't try to play tricks on me. I'm giving you one by today, or else... you know what I'm capable of."
It's unclear what Wang Zhihua was thinking.
Her tone suddenly changed, "I'm afraid that even if I find one for you, you won't dare to take it."
That man couldn't resist being provoked.
"If you dare to do it, I dare to accept it!"
"Fine, you wait!"
The two quickly separated.
Wang Zhihua had already turned back.
He pretended to be nonchalant, picked up a basket of branches and the like, and walked towards the shore.
Su Qiao is already on her way down the mountain.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Young girls almost never go to the other side of the riverbank.
Only Lu Xiang would deliver water at noon.
Could it be that Wang Zhihua is after Lu Xiang?
Su Qiao held her breath and ran downhill as fast as she could.
She quickly ran to the road, and from where she stood, she could see the situation on the other side of the river.
She spotted Lu Xiang immediately.
She was carrying a basket as she walked toward the brigade leader.
Su Qiao observed carefully and noticed that Wang Zhihua's gaze was not on Lu Xiang.
It seems like they really don't care.
What I just said sounded like something I said offhand.
Just as Su Qiao was about to move to another place, she saw Yao Qing move.
She pretended to be in some kind of inconvenience.
She wanted Lu Xiang to accompany her.
Because of Su Qiao, Lu Xiang was also somewhat familiar with how these people pretended to be pitiful.
Especially now, Yao Qing doesn't seem to be in any pain at all.
This place isn't far from the educated youth settlement.
Why do I have to look for her?
Just as Lu Xiang was wondering how to refuse, Yao Qing suddenly started sobbing.
"I know I did something wrong before, but all I want now is for you to help me get back home, is that not even possible?"
Su Qiao saw that Lu Xiang was finding it increasingly difficult to refuse.
He shouted directly across the river.
"Lu Xiang! Come here for a second!"
The bridge is just 150 meters away in sight.
As soon as Su Qiao spoke, Lu Xiang decisively refused: "Sister Su has something to discuss with me. Your man should be here too, right? Let him take you back."
After saying that, Lu Xiang skipped and hopped off to find Su Qiao.
The two met up soon.
Su Qiao carried her small basket and spoke softly to Lu Xiang.
"Didn't you notice just now that Wang Zhihua and his wife were watching you?"
"ah?"
Lu Xiang glanced at the opposite bank subconsciously and, sure enough, found that Wang Zhihua was indeed looking this way.
"What did Yao Qing want from you just now?"
Lu Xiang told her everything in detail.
Su Qiao sneered and couldn't help but sigh, "Wang Zhihua really dares to think like that."
They even tried to harm the brigade leader's daughter.
"Her husband is right behind her. It shouldn't be difficult for him to take time off work and drive her home, right? There are plenty of women around who are more experienced than you. Why would he choose a young girl like you?"
Lu Xiang wasn't stupid, and naturally she understood the implied meaning.
"But what could she possibly want from me?"
"It's hard to say, but it's definitely not safe for you to go home alone now. Call your two older brothers over. Tell them I just found two rotten pine roots that can be used as kindling. Let's go up the mountain together and bring them down, one for each of us."
Lu Xiang readily agreed, as her two older brothers usually doted on her.
Getting them to come over is not difficult.
The two brothers are named Lu Weidong and Lu Weiguo, and both are tall and strong.
Just standing there is enough to intimidate those bad guys.
The two brothers asked for leave because their sister wanted to, and the brigade leader naturally agreed.
Wang Zhihua was dumbfounded.
How did Su Qiao arrive at such a convenient time? Lu Xiang is surrounded by so many people now, what are we going to do? That idiot probably won't just come knocking on our door asking for a beating, will he?
Wang Zhihua began to worry.
They couldn't pay attention to what they were doing with their hands.
He accidentally stepped on a stone, lost his balance, and the whole load fell to the ground.
Everything inside fell out.
Lu Xiang was waiting for her brother, and seeing this scene confirmed Su Qiao's guess.
When her two older brothers came over, Lu Xiang told them what she wanted to help with.
The two readily agreed.
The brigade leader had already explained that Su Zhiqing would marry Lu Xiangze in the future, making them relatives.
Therefore, we should take care of all the places that can be taken care of in normal times.
Su Qiao was certainly not making things up.
Previously, she had dug up two pine tree roots from deep in the mountains.
The end of the year is long gone; it's the perfect time to use it.
Now, for the sake of realism, we've taken them out of the space and hidden the two tree roots in the grass halfway up the mountain.
The pine root wasn't heavy, and the two brothers found it strange that such a small thing was worth calling two people over.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Soon, the group arrived at Su Qiao's house.
Nothing happened along the way.
I reckon that person is lurking at that intersection.
That's the only way back to the dilapidated temple.
Su Qiao wanted to invite them to have a cup of tea before they went back.
But he was rejected.
Lu Weidong even wanted to return to the riverbank and continue working.
Lu Weiguo took his sister away by himself.
Su Qiao immediately gave Lu Xiang a wink.
The little girl trusted Su Qiao a lot.
She immediately started to act coquettishly towards Lu Weidong, wanting her two older brothers to accompany her back home.
Upon hearing this, the two had no choice but to agree.
Lu Xiang skipped and hopped ahead, while Lu Weiguo and his brother walked a little slower.
Suddenly, a person rushed out from around the corner.
"I know you like me, so today I'll give you a chance. I'll make you my wife." Liu Laizi leaned against the wall, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.
With his eyes closed, he spoke all his words in one breath.
Then he pounced on Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang took a few steps back.
He pressed on relentlessly, saying, "You can't escape."
He laughed wildly and arrogantly.
The next second, his laughter stopped abruptly.
