In her previous life, crayfish were already a common dish on people's tables in the 1980s, so she knew how to prepare them. Now that she had recipes and crayfish seasonings, she also knew how to make crayfish taste even better.
"Xiaoxi, this is called crayfish," Lin Yiwan explained. "First, remove the head and the shrimp vein, then scrub it clean. After that, you can cook it like any other dish, stir-frying or braising it. It's especially delicious."
Lin Yiwan didn't tell anyone that crayfish were edible, so apart from their Lin family, no one else in the Harvest Brigade ate crayfish. Therefore, every summer, no one competed with them for crayfish, and they could eat to their heart's content.
"Yiwan, I know how to cook crayfish now, so let's not waste any more time and get started! Let's try to fill a bucket as soon as possible and go home."
The two then split up and began making their own arrests.
Wenxi used to use fish anesthetic to catch eels, which made them unconscious and easy to catch. But now the eels are alive and very clever, often escaping and muddying the water.
However, at this time, pesticides and fertilizers were used less, so these things could almost be described as abundant. It didn't matter if you ran a few times, there were plenty of them anyway. Although Wenxi ran a few times at the beginning, she never made a mistake after she became more skilled.
She catches eels, loaches, and crayfish, and because she's worried the wooden bucket won't be able to hold them all, she often adds them to the system's warehouse.
An hour later, the wooden barrel was full, and the two of them secretly collected a lot into their respective cheat devices, but neither of them said anything!
It was almost ten o'clock when Wenxi got home. She didn't unpack the things, but put them in the system kitchen, and then went to wash up and rest.
The next morning, before dawn, Wenxi appeared at the village entrance and, sure enough, saw a small, thin figure standing under the jujube tree at the village entrance.
It's truly pitiful. A ten-year-old girl, smaller and thinner than a six- or seven-year-old. A six- or seven-year-old should be over 1.2 meters tall. She even doubts whether Donghua is even a meter tall. Sigh...
Wenxi subconsciously turned her head and looked around. She wouldn't wholeheartedly trust anyone, especially the vulnerable, because sometimes the vulnerable are the helpers of others.
Just like human traffickers, they always like to use children to gain people's sympathy, and then...
She had only just met Donghua and didn't know much about her.
As Wenxi passed by Donghua, she lowered her voice and said, "Donghua, follow me from behind." Then she walked quickly ahead until she left the Harvest Brigade and came to the main road leading to the town. She didn't see anyone following them, and only then did she feel relieved.
It wasn't that she was overly suspicious, but rather that some people's tricks were impossible to guard against.
If a pitiful little girl comes to you crying and asks you to help her find her mother or take her home, can you refuse? It's right to be vigilant.
"Donghua, I need to take you to the hospital for a check-up and get your medicine, so you can't eat breakfast now. You can eat breakfast after the check-up, okay?"
Wenxi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, because it would cause others to misunderstand her. For example, right now, if she didn't let Donghua eat breakfast, Donghua would definitely complain about her, so she could only give an explanation.
However, the system assigned her this task, and she couldn't just ignore it; she understood that you have to put in effort to reap rewards.
The two set off before dawn, meaning they left around three or four in the morning. Even when they arrived in town, it was still dark. Moreover, Donghua was a malnourished child and not very strong, so she couldn't walk very fast. The two of them walked and stopped frequently, and it was several hours later when they finally arrived in town.
Upon arriving in town, they went directly to the bus stop and waited. The bus arrived shortly afterward. Once on board, Wenxi led Donghua to sit by the window to let in some fresh air.
Upon arriving in town, Wenxi first went to the post office, then called the county hospital. When she finally got through to He Chen'an, she couldn't help but laugh at his businesslike tone.
Then He Chen'an instantly realized what he meant, his tone filled with joy, "Xiao Xi?"
"Dr. He, I need to take a child over for a medical examination in a little while. Could you please make the arrangements for me?" Wen Xi didn't engage in pleasantries on the phone.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Wenxi took Donghua and rushed to the county hospital. These government offices were all located in the center of the street and on the same main road, so they arrived at the county hospital quickly.
He Chen'an, wearing a white coat, stood anxiously in front of the hospital. His tall figure and handsome face attracted the attention of many passersby.
Seeing Wen Xi approaching with a little girl, He Chen'an quickly went to greet her, "Xiao Xi..."
It had only been a few days since they last met, but He Chen'an felt like he couldn't get enough of seeing him.
Wenxi felt a little embarrassed by his intense gaze, so she pushed Donghua in front of him and said, "Dr. He, please examine her injuries and write down the severity of the injury."
Otherwise, there would be no way to rescue Donghua from their clutches. If Donghua continues to live with her grandparents, she might not even have a chance to survive.
It was clearly her grandparents and her father who committed many evil deeds. Without the family's consent and before marriage, they took off the girl's clothes, and not only that, they had no ability to take responsibility.
Donghua was an innocent victim.
He Chen'an nodded, "Xiao Xi, don't worry, I will make sure everything is arranged properly."
Afterwards, He Chen'an took Wen Xi and Dong Hua to the hospital. He Chen'an then handed Dong Hua over to a doctor, entrusting him with the full responsibility of examining Dong Hua's injuries. He Chen'an told Wen Xi to sit in the office and wait for the results.
Seeing that He Chen'an was the only one in the office, Wen Xi said softly, "I took two days off, and I have one more day off tomorrow."
"Really?" He Chen'an looked up from the medical record, his eyes filled with joy.
Wen Xi nodded. "The matter with Donghua should be resolved today, so tomorrow is all my time."
"Xiaoxi, are you going back tonight?" He Chen'an asked expectantly.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"I'll find a colleague to switch shifts with later," He Chen'an said happily.
At the medical examination site, the medical staff were furious when they saw the shocking injuries on Donghua's body. They threatened to call the police. They knew that girls in rural areas were treated poorly and had a hard life, but they never expected Donghua to suffer such a terrible fate.
