Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. The town mayor staggered and waved his hand, his face pale.
"No! No, fairy, I've been thinking about it. Helping others is a long-standing tradition in Pingzhen. Now that Dongzhen is in trouble, we should help them. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Qin Qing shook her head.
"Let's not. I don't want to meddle in other people's business; it's too tiring."
Her refusal caused everyone to panic. They all pleaded with her, their faces contorted in distress. The mayor, in particular, was seeing stars and was so anxious he almost cried.
Without the fairy godmother, they would die if they went there, and if they didn't go, they would go to hell after they died. No matter what they did, they were doomed!
Finally, after being pleaded with by a group of people, Qin Qing reluctantly agreed, and the next day the group went to Dongzhen in a grand procession.
The same method quickly suppressed the severe spread of the epidemic!
As the most populous town in Xiaocheng, everyone worked together and finally suppressed the epidemic within a month. The next issue was food.
At her instruction, the snowmelt irrigation of the farmland quickly took effect, with the fastest-growing vegetables already sprouting and expected to ripen soon.
Another half month passed, the epidemic subsided, and Qin Qing took advantage of the officials' inspection to sneak out with his family!
She wasn't worried about the drought at all. In the original story, there would be rain next summer, although it would only happen once. But they would have to rely on themselves for the rest of the time!
The family set off for the south again, and it was then that Qin Qing noticed something was wrong.
For example, at this moment, Bai Lianhua looked at Xiao Muyang with a shy smile, her voice clear and pleasant!
"Brother Muyang, the lotus is so cold, can I lean against you and sleep?"
Xiao Muyang was stunned for a moment and did not answer. Bai Lianhua then pulled his arm on her own, making him blush instantly.
"You...you mustn't do this! Boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven!"
The white lotus looked completely bewildered, with an adorable expression that said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Qin Qing stood at the door, looking at her with a cool gaze! This was a farmhouse. Because they had just left Xiaocheng, the late winter wind was still icy cold, so they were asking for lodging for the night!
She had just put Xingxing and Yueyue to sleep, and Zhang He was also by their side. Logically, Bai Lianhua should also be sleeping in that room, but she has a habit of urinating at night, and she happened to hear this when she came out.
Her face turned green instantly! Her little Muyang wasn't even eight years old yet! This five-year-old girl already knew how to seduce people?
Where did the strong, cold-blooded, cruel, and arrogant woman from the original story go? In the sequel that the original owner saw, Mu Yang was fleeing famine with his younger sister Mu Xing, and they didn't encounter any female lead! How come in her story, the female lead has become a scheming bitch?
Anger surged up within her; she felt as if her precious cabbage was about to be eaten by a pig!
She then pushed open the wooden door, and both of them were startled. Xiao Muyang looked guilty, and Bai Lianhua blushed.
Anyone who didn't know better would think something had just happened! She glared at Xiao Muyang, then changed her tone!
"Muyang, Grandma is so disappointed in you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyang was first stunned, then his whole body stiffened and he was at a loss for what to do.
Bai Lianhua blushed, her face showing shame, anger, and embarrassment, but no regret! Hearing Qin Qing reprimand Mu Yang, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then we heard Qin Qing speak!
"Do you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? You're not even fully grown yet, what are you talking about, childhood sweethearts and innocent playmates? Especially with someone who's practically offered up, who knows what kind of problem they might have. You know there's a saying, 'You get what you pay for!'"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lianhua's face instantly turned red and then green, and finally turned completely black. Even though she was only five years old, she understood what the village woman in front of her meant!
But she had to endure it. Now that she was living under someone else's roof, she couldn't talk back, otherwise she wouldn't be able to survive!
These people were heading straight for the capital, a destination she couldn't possibly reach alone, let alone with the numerous assassins lurking around.
When she looked up again, her face was full of confusion and shyness, which surprised Qin Qing so much that she had to admire her. At such a young age, she had such self-control. No wonder she would become a female prime minister later!
"aunt…"
Qin Qing nodded expressionlessly. How dare he show off such acting skills in front of her?
The next day, after thanking the farmer, the family set off again. The journey south was gradually less cold, and they could even see some greenery.
After traveling all morning, Xiao Muxing tugged at Qin Qing's sleeve, her big eyes blinking with longing!
"Grandma, Xingxing wants to eat hot pot..."
Her adorable appearance tempted Qin Qing to pinch her cheeks again, and she suddenly realized that she was a fan of cute things! She smiled.
"Xingxing is so cute, she's a chili pepper lover!"
Zhang He also quickly turned her head, her face showing a hint of surprise. She hadn't had hot pot in ages, and she was really craving it!
She found a relatively dry spot on the ground, sheltered from the wind, and spread out a sheet. Several people sat on it, and the whole family eagerly watched her.
Only Bai Lianhua sat on a rock to the side, taking out the half of her steamed bun that she had left over, looking quite pitiful!
Qin Qing rummaged through the package and pulled out a self-heating hot pot. Its bright color immediately caught Bai Lianhua's attention, her eyes filled with surprise. What is that?
The box wasn't too big, but the paintings on the outside were very vivid, making the vegetables look like real ones. A few tempting red accents added color, making them look delicious.
Once the hot pot was ready, the fragrant and spicy aroma spread around, and the unique fragrance made Bai Lianhua swallow hard. Her eyes were glued to the hot pot, and the cornbread in her hand, which had been saving her life, suddenly lost its appeal!
Seeing Xiao Muxing eat with tears welling up in her eyes, her cheeks flushed, Mu Yang ate while breathing out hot air. The unidentified dark red food (duck blood) looked especially delicious thanks to the red chili oil...
She stared intently at the group, took a big bite of the cornbread, but felt no taste in her mouth, only a numbing and spicy aroma filling her nostrils…
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer. She walked straight over, looked at Xiao Muyang pitifully, and whispered.
"Brother Muyang, can I eat just a tiny bit of lotus? Just a small bite!"
Qin Qing pretended not to see, and Zhang He remained silent. Xiao Muxing and Mu Yue turned their heads and gave Bai Lianhua a strange look.
Mu Yang thought for a moment, then handed her the spicy lotus root slices in his hands. Bai Lianhua actually wanted to eat the dark red thing he was eating, but it was good to have something to eat, so she quickly opened her mouth.
The next second, a burst of numbing and spicy flavor stimulated my entire brain. The crisp lotus root slices in my mouth, with a touch of numbing spiciness, a hint of sourness, and scalding heat, were so delicious it was explosive!
She chewed repeatedly, her eyes filled with delight, until the flavor was completely gone before reluctantly swallowing.
