Chapter 80: Meet Fox Immortal Again
Upon hearing that there was a telegram for him, Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then he stopped pushing his bicycle and hurried inside.
Xu Xianzhen took out a telegram and handed it to her.
The telegram came from Shanghai's western district and contained only a few words.
——I have already resigned and will arrive at Jiaotan soon.
This telegram came unexpectedly, leaving Ye Qing stunned on the spot.
Seeing Ye Qing standing there for a long time without moving, Gu Weidong felt puzzled and could not help but walked in from outside and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qing handed the telegram to Gu Weidong.
Gu Weidong took a look and asked in confusion, "Who is coming?"
Ye Qing said helplessly: "My class teacher."
Gu Weidong understood immediately: "The one from Mohe——"
Ye Qing nodded and said with a wry smile, "When I sent her a letter a few days ago, I was afraid that the registered letter might be lost, so I sent her a telegram in advance. I didn't expect that my teacher would be so impatient that she quit her job at the school and prepared to come directly to the Great Northern Wilderness!"
Gu Weidong was quite calm. He folded the telegram and handed it to Ye Qing:
"Come if you want. From what you described before, your homeroom teacher is not the kind of person who would act rashly. He must have made this choice after careful consideration. He probably made other arrangements before coming. You don't have to worry too much."
"Besides, even if she really didn't care about anything and just came here alone, with your ability, you can definitely find a good place for her. At worst, she can work as an extra clerk in our village health station. Even if there is no salary, it's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks. How big of a deal can it be?"
After this analysis, Ye Qing also felt that there was no need for her to be too nervous and anxious.
After all, Song Chunhua is a middle school teacher with rich teaching experience. He came from a big city and there is no big problem with his background. He will definitely be able to use his talents in this small place like Jiaotan County.
If no school would accept her, she could just shamelessly ask Zhao Jinliang for help. With the ideas she had provided for free to the military farm during this period, she could ask Zhao Jinliang to help her teacher find a back door, and it shouldn't be difficult for her to become a substitute teacher in the school for children of cadres at the military farm.
After putting the telegram into her bag, she put the matter aside for the time being. Even if Song Chunhua wanted to come and boarded the train on the same day after sending the telegram, she would still be on the road for several days. There was no point in being anxious now. She could just wait and make arrangements after the person arrived.
Ye Qing rode her ladies' bicycle, while Gu Weidong took Nie Wei with him on his 28-inch bicycle, and the three of them returned to Kaoshantun.
However, what Ye Qing did not expect was that when the three of them rode into the village and passed the gate of the Wu family, Wu Yueying, who was sitting at the doorstep basking in the sun, rushed up and blocked their car.
No, to be precise, they blocked Gu Weidong’s car.
Ye Qing was really convinced. If she remembered correctly, Wu Yueying should have just had a minor childbirth these two days, and the lochia might not have been completely expelled. Instead of staying in the house to rest, she actually ran outside and rushed to the road to stop Gu Weidong's car. What was this idiot planning to do?
Could it be that she realized that she had made a huge bet and placed all her bets on Jian Ming, a promising stock, and only after losing miserably did she realize how good her ex-fiancé was, and so she wanted to turn around and try to get back at him to see if she could win the game?
If this is true, then Ye Qing really wants to pry open Wu Yueying's brain and see what this woman's train of thought is like.
I have to say, Ye Qing is telling the truth.
Wu Yueying really regretted it.
She thought that Gu Weidong would definitely become a cripple, and would be persuaded to retire by the army immediately, and then go to the county to be a security guard for the rest of his life. So since she was reborn, she never thought about going down the same old path for the rest of her life, marrying Gu Weidong, a good-for-nothing, in order to find a cheap father for her child, and enduring eighteen years of hopeless torment.
She thought she was reborn and knew the direction of the story for the next eighteen years. As long as she could find Jian Ming, the child would not have to recognize someone else as his father, and she could avoid eighteen years of detours.
Unexpectedly, everything did not develop as she expected.
Jian Ming, whom she believed she would never marry, was thrown into jail.
And she thought that Gu Weidong would become disabled and never recover, but thanks to the help of Ye Qing, the miracle doctor, his lame leg was healed!
She made the wrong bet again!
How could Wu Yueying be willing to see Gu Weidong so high in spirit and likely to reach the pinnacle of his life step by step in the army?
So during these two days, as the baby was pulled out of her belly, Wu Yueying lay on the kang in the room and pondered over it over and over again, but she couldn't figure it out. They were both reborn, so how come Ye Qing was able to turn the tide, while she ended up in such a miserable state?
After much thought, Wu Yueying refused to admit that it was her own problem and only felt that she was too unlucky.
Thinking of the heroic look on Gu Weidong's face when he rode his bicycle with Ye Qing back to Kaoshantun not long ago, and then carefully recalling the past events before her rebirth, she seemed to slowly discover the good in Gu Weidong again.
You have to know that in her previous life, since she married Gu Weidong, although her life was not as rich as she had imagined, Gu Weidong basically handed over all her monthly salary to her, and he agreed to whatever she wanted to buy and never interfered too much with her spending.
Moreover, the Gu family was separated not long after she married. At her strong request, the new housing plot was far away from her husband's home. Gu Weidong spent most of his time working in the county, so she basically lived in her parents' home with her children. She rarely cooked, and even her mother helped her take care of the children. In fact, she did not suffer much in those 18 years.
But at that time, all she was thinking about was Jian Ming, her white moonlight, and she never even looked at Gu Weidong.
Thinking about it now, she was clearly blinded by the thick filter of first love and didn't notice the goodness of the people around her at all.
Until now, when Jian Ming was arrested and her first love filter was shattered, her confused mind slowly turned around.
If she married Gu Weidong in this life, she would have the support of her parents in the village and would not have to worry about being bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Gu Weidong could continue to serve in the army and would definitely become a regiment commander or a division commander in the future. Then she would become a senior official's wife.
Moreover, after joining the army, she had the final say on all matters big and small in the family. There were no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She could even act arrogantly in the family compound and be pursued and flattered by a bunch of military wives. It seemed that her heavenly life was no worse than if she had married Jian Ming.
Wu Yueying realized belatedly that she had narrowed her path, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.
If she had known that something might happen to that bastard Jian Ming, she should have kept her composure after her rebirth and delayed her relationship with Gu Weidong for the time being. After she had dealt with Jian Ming and confirmed that he was going abroad, she should have dumped Gu Weidong instead of calling off the engagement without caring about anything right away. Now she has nothing left.
But now that things have come to this, is she really going to just accept her fate? Obviously not, Wu Yueying doesn't think she has no chance of turning things around.
After all, she and Gu Weidong had been married for eighteen years, and she thought she knew him very well. That man valued his brief military experience and his comrades more than anything else. In his previous life, he had quarreled with her more than once over those comrades who had nothing to do with him, and he even thought about adopting his comrade's orphans. It was only because she strongly opposed that the matter was dropped.
So Wu Yueying thought she could use this to please Wei Dong and increase her own chips.
As long as she showed her wholehearted support for Gu Weidong's military career, and even used her prophetic ability to take the initiative to help those military wives who were in difficult circumstances to do business;
If she opened a company in the future, she would be kind enough to provide re-employment opportunities for his comrades who had retired from the army due to injuries. After a long time, Gu Weidong would definitely change his mind and accept her again. At that time, she and Gu Weidong would naturally be able to renew their relationship, and she would not be far from becoming a Shangguan wife.
The more Wu Yueying thought about it, the more she felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea, so she ignored Ye Qing's previous instructions to stay at home and rest for the full month of confinement, and hurried to the end of the village to find Gu Weidong.
Because of the broken engagement, she and the Gu family had almost fallen out, so when she arrived at the Gu family's house, she was faced with Gu Weixi and Gu Weinan's contempt and ridicule. Gu Weinan even stood at the gate of the yard and didn't let her in, let alone meet Gu Weidong himself.
Later, she came back from the end of the village in despair. On the way, she heard a few kids chattering about going to Zou's house to pet wolves. One of the children said that Ye Qing had ridden a bicycle to the county early in the morning with the PLA uncle from the Gu family next door to do some business.
Wu Yueying then realized that Gu Weidong was not in the village at all.
So, Wu Yueying quietly waited at the door of her house, which led to the scene where Ye Qing and the other two were stopped by Wu Yueying on the way back.
"Brother Weidong, can we talk?"
After successfully intercepting Gu Weidong, Wu Yueying showed a pitiful little expression, and her big wet eyes looked at Gu Weidong pleadingly.
She has always known that she is beautiful and is good at using her beautiful appearance as a weapon. She also knows that this is what men like. Jian Ming just can't stand her coquettish offensive and quickly falls at her feet. Therefore, she firmly believes that this trick is invincible. Gu Weidong, a young man who has never seen any women in the military camp, is even less likely to resist.
But the fact is, Gu Weidong was suddenly stopped by this woman, and he felt as if he had eaten a fly. Especially when he saw Wu Yueying showing such a disgusting expression to him, he instantly felt uncomfortable:
"Did you have an illness that burned your brain? Who are you trying to kill by saying such evil things? Is your tongue not straight?"
"Also, we are just two sisters. Who are you to come up to me and try to get close to me? You even want to talk to me. Haven't we already sorted out our affairs? What else do you have to talk about with a cripple like me?"
"If you want to talk, that's fine. I'll move a table under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village and call all the aunties in the village so that everyone can hear what you want to talk about!"
Wu Yueying: ...Damn, is Gu Weidong sick?
Ye Qing: ...I never knew Gu Weidong could speak Northeastern dialect so fast, as if he was running on clockwork. If she didn't have an extraordinary hearing ability, her brain would not be able to keep up.
Nie Wei: ...He can be so tough with a girl. This guy is finished. He will never be single in this life!
Wu Yueying, who had prepared a lot of speeches and was ready to have a serious negotiation with Gu Weidong, was defeated in the first battle. She was directly confronted by Gu Weidong and completely forgot what she was going to say.
"Get out of the way!" Gu Weidong really didn't give Wu Yueying any good face. He was ready to leave after he had scolded her.
However, Wu Yueying just stood in the middle of the road with a stiff face and refused to move aside to make way.
Gu Weidong was really angry now, and he didn't care whether his words were venomous or not, and whether they would make the girl unbearable, and he started to yell right away:
"What's the matter? Do you think I, Gu Weidong, am a garbage collector and only fit to find a partner in trash cans? Be a decent girl. We all live in the same village. Don't treat me, Gu Weidong, as a fool, okay? If you stay quiet and don't mess with me, I will never bring up the past with you. But if you don't know what's best for you, don't blame me for being ruthless and exposing all your shameful deeds!"
Wu Yueying's face turned pale, thinking that Ye Qing had secretly told Gu Weidong about her miscarriage. She was immediately furious and glared at Ye Qing with anger and resentment.
Gu Weidong knew Wu Yueying had misunderstood when he saw her expression, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Why are you looking at her? This matter has nothing to do with her. Use your brain to think about how you came back, idiot! If someone like you can be blessed by God, shouldn't the person you have cheated for half his life be more worthy of fate's mercy?"
Gu Weidong's words made Wu Yueying's head buzz.
She suddenly realized something, and raised her head and pointed at Gu Weidong, her eyes full of fear and disbelief:
“You, you——”
Gu Weidong was not afraid of showing his cards at all. Wu Yueying was a mentally retarded woman with cerebellar atrophy and she couldn't do anything.
He just wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible and never have anything to do with it again. Otherwise, every time he saw this woman, it would remind him how failed and stupid he was in his previous life.
"So you don't have to waste your time. I know all the bullshit you've done. There's nothing to discuss between us. Go wherever you came from and don't get in the way of my way. Do you understand?"
Wu Yueying's fantasy of being an official's wife turned to ashes in an instant.
Gu Weidong was also reborn, so that explains why his leg is not lame. So from the moment she started to make a fuss about breaking off the engagement, this man was deliberately playing along with her, teasing her like a fool, letting her do whatever she wanted and ruin her reputation, while he pretended to be innocent and pitiful, acting as a perfect victim, retreating to gain the moral high ground in public opinion, and reaping the benefits!
This is really insidious!
Wu Yueying finally realized that she was fooled by Gu Weidong! From the beginning to the end, this man never thought of marrying her. If she didn't cry and make a fuss, and yell about breaking off the engagement, Gu Weidong would be the one who lost his temper in the end!
Unfortunately, she had already known this, and when she took the initiative to write the letter of withdrawal of engagement, she had already lost the opportunity and initiative. She made one mistake after another and could only be led by this man.
Only then did Wu Yueying realize how cunning and terrifying Gu Weidong was. She was no match for this man at all!
When Wu Yueying saw Gu Weidong's hawk-like eyes staring at her sinisterly, her breath caught in her throat. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Gu Weidong sneered, then rode away on his 28-inch bicycle.
This time, Ye Qing was completely speechless about Wu Yueying.
With such a good opportunity of rebirth, if she can stand on her own, even if she is not well educated and intelligent, as long as she is willing to work hard and stand at the forefront, she can rise against the wind with her advanced knowledge. Not to mention living the luxurious life of a wealthy family, she can at least be better than 90% of ordinary people.
But look at what this girl did after she came back? She either clung to this potential stock or grabbed that high-quality stock. All she thought about all day was how to rely on men to live a good life. She never thought about being self-reliant and fighting for a way out with her own hands.
Originally, Ye Qing thought that Wu Yueying would not turn back until she hit a wall, and as long as she suffered enough from Jian Ming, she would wake up one day.
Who knew, she seemed to have overestimated this woman. Without Jian Ming, she set her sights on Gu Weidong again. Now that she found that Gu Weidong was unwilling to cooperate, she probably would start looking for the next suitable target right away.
Perhaps in Wu Yueying's mind, there is no concept of independent women at all. She is just a vase from beginning to end. Her beauty could have been a weapon in her career, but unfortunately she does not know how to use this weapon of looks. She only wants to hook up with a man as her long-term meal ticket. Without a man to rely on, she cannot survive!
This kind of person is really hopeless. Ye Qing is too lazy to bother to guide or give him any advice.
She was afraid that if she intervened, this woman would take advantage of her situation and become completely dependent on her like a sticky candy.
Ye Qing is not a big shot. The last time she helped Wu Yueying was entirely out of consideration for Captain Wu, but she can't help Wu Yueying again without expecting anything in return, especially since this woman is ungrateful and may turn against her at any time. As long as she is not mentally ill, she will stay away from such a person and not want to have anything to do with her.
So even when she saw Wu Yueying fall to the ground, she did not remind her again. She just got on her bike and left without saying a word.
When we got home, it was already evening, so the three of us didn't rush into the mountains that night. Instead, we planned to have a good rest at home and go out the next morning.
However, after returning home, Ye Qing couldn't sleep while lying on the kang at night.
The incident involving Wu Yueying also made her realize a very serious but realistic problem.
She had mentioned the concept of feminism to Gu Weinan Mengjia before. Regarding the current phenomenon that women can only return to the family to have children and take care of their husbands and children, she put forward a more sharp view. She believed that women cannot be kept in captivity, but must go out to work and occupy the top of the pyramid to win the right to make rules and truly hold up half the sky.
But at that time she really only thought about the problem of work, and felt that the economic foundation could determine whether a woman could stand up straight. She never thought that some girls were not independent in thinking. Even if such women were taught how to work and make a living, they would still not be able to stand on their own. It is even possible that even if they are obviously capable of making a living, they would still turn around and sob into the arms of a man, just wanting to be a docile wife who does not have to think or work hard.
The key is that there are still many women like Wu Yueying who rely solely on men. If women's consciousness is not awakened, such people will never wake up, because in their view, being supported by men is a skill.
Ye Qing tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he sat up, lit the kerosene lamp, took out a pen and paper, and began to write.
She wanted to write a novel about female consciousness, combining it with the current environment to create a rural woman who is strong-willed, dares to pursue her dreams, has vision and love, and is truly independent and sober, able to blossom in adversity;
Instead of being the kind of woman who endures humiliation and repays grievances with kindness, suffers all kinds of bullying, and even works hard all her life for a few children who are not her own, causing the children to suffer all kinds of misunderstandings and betrayal, and finally has to smile and let it go, only then can she be called a great mother.
Maybe it was because she was inspired by Wu Yueying's incident, or maybe it was because she had read too many works about women's awakening before traveling through time. She, who had never been good at writing, was able to write like a genius this time. She easily came up with a complete outline and outline of the story, and began to write the first chapter of the novel "Beginning of Autumn".
[When early autumn came, the wild grass on the nearby hilltops had been almost eaten up by the production team's sheep.
Li Qiu could only lead the flock further into the mountains.
While herding sheep, she was reading a textbook over and over again.
It was unclear whether the textbook was from the second or third grade. Even the cover and the first few pages were missing. She had picked it up by accident in the mountains while she was herding sheep one day.
She didn't recognize many of the words in the textbook, but she read it very carefully, spelling the new words according to the textbook using not very standard pinyin.
When it was almost dark, Li Qiu hurried the sheep down the mountain and back to the village.
As a result, when she reached the village entrance, she heard a group of old ladies talking about her family affairs. It turned out that her eldest sister Li Chun had been beaten severely by her husband and had just limped back to her parents' home.
Upon hearing the news, Li Qiu ran home as soon as he could.
When I rushed back home, I saw my eldest sister crying in the house with a bruised face, thin and haggard. Her mother was not concerned about her injury, but was nagging her that she shouldn't go back to her parents' home at this time.
"I hit you because you did something wrong. You just need to change in the future. Men behave like this when they get angry. Just be more obedient to him and be patient. It will pass. If you go back to your parents' home when something happens, where will your man's face be? Go back and apologize to your man as soon as possible, and don't let the villagers laugh at our family."
Her mother's rebuke succeeded in persuading Li Chun to go back, but it caused an indelible and huge shock to the young mind of Li Qiu, a girl who was not even fourteen years old.
Why is it that even though they are the closest relatives from the eldest sister's family, when the eldest sister is bullied, her parents just stand by and watch, unwilling to step forward to support her?
Why should a married woman just accept her fate and endure being beaten?
Li Qiu couldn't figure it out, so she wanted to find the answer in a book.
But the books all teach women how to be virtuous and obedient, and no one teaches women how to be independent and strong and live the way they want. 】
The first chapter is not very long, but Ye Qing uses only a few strokes to bring to life on paper a rural girl who has not received formal cultural education but has already developed some preliminary feminine consciousness.
Next, Ye Qing will describe the difficult living conditions of rural women before and after marriage through Li Qiu's perspective, and then guide Li Qiu step by step to rebel against the marriage arranged by her parents and break free from her foreseeable fate.
Ye Qing was perfecting the outline when suddenly he heard Grandma Zou's voice from behind him:
"Qing girl, why did you turn on the light when you are not asleep at night?"
Ye Qing replied subconsciously: "Grandma, I'm writing something and will be done soon. You——"
Halfway through his words, Ye Qing stopped talking when he realized something was wrong.
She turned her head suddenly and looked at the old lady lying on the kang in surprise:
"Can you see me light the kerosene lamp?"
The old lady was startled, then realized something belatedly, and nodded with a smile:
"Yes, it's blurry, a bit like there's a thick veil covering my eyes, but I can definitely feel the light."
As she spoke, the old lady pointed to where Ye Qing had placed the kerosene lamp.
"It's in that direction, isn't it?"
Ye Qing was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, yes, the kerosene lamp I lit is right here!"
With this incident, Ye Qing had no time to write anymore. She quickly stepped forward and reached out her hand to touch the old lady's wrists and forehead. After carefully examining her for a while, she confirmed:
"The situation has indeed improved. At this rate of recovery, the eight to ten-month treatment period I mentioned earlier will probably be shortened a lot. Maybe by the beginning of next spring, when the pear blossoms in the village start to bloom, you'll be able to see snow-white pear blossoms flying all over the sky. That scene will definitely be no worse than the sycamore blossoms in Shanghai. What do you think?"
The old lady's face was full of expectation, but she still shook her head seriously and said:
"No matter how beautiful the pear blossoms are, they can never compare to the weight of the phoenix tree blossoms in my heart."
Because in that city, I once admired the tung blossoms with my husband and children, and no matter how beautifully the pear blossoms bloomed, it would be impossible for them to accompany me to admire the flowers again.
Ye Qing gently pinched the old lady's shoulders:
"Then you should take better care of yourself and live to be a hundred or so years old. When your eyes are healed, you can travel around the world with those medals of honor and see all the flowers and spring scenery in the world on behalf of your husband and son. That would be enough, don't you think?"
The old lady was stunned, feeling helpless and not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't make big promises to me here. Your grandmother is not so old and confused. If you want to go out now, you can't even go to the county without a letter of introduction, let alone travel around the world. At most, your grandmother can go from one end of the village to the other. Where can I see the flowers?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I'm not kidding you. Just because you can't go out now doesn't mean you can't go out in the future. The current situation can't remain unchanged. When the policy is relaxed in the future, I will take you around. I will accompany you to rivers, lakes, mountains and rivers wherever you want to go. If you don't believe me, I can even write a written agreement for you."
The old lady waved her hands quickly, the sadness on her face was covered by a smile:
"That's not necessary. I'll remember what you said. If the day ever comes when I can go out and walk around, if you dare to break your promise, I'll beat you with my cane."
Ye Qing laughed, and the grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed for a while before they went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Ye Qing, Gu Weidong and Nie Wei went into the mountains together.
Under Ye Qing's leadership, the three of them quickly found the cave and discovered the 300-year-old ginseng that Ye Qing mentioned on the protruding rock on the cliff.
Nie Wei's face suddenly turned red with excitement, and he was eager to drill into the hole. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Ye Qing just before he moved.
"Don't move. Let me check to see if the guard snake is still there."
Ye Qing's words stunned the two people beside him.
Ye Qing quickly explained how she found this wild ginseng:
"The white-browed pit viper is extremely venomous. If you get bit by it, you'll die if you don't have anti-serum. Although the temperature has been dropping recently, the white-browed pit viper may have hibernated in a cave, but it's always better to be careful. If it's still around, we have to take a long-term view and lure the snake away first."
Both of them are locals from Jiaotan County. They have heard or seen the power of the white-browed pit viper, so when they heard that there was a white-browed pit viper guarding this century-old ginseng, they couldn't help but feel nervous. They dared not rush into the cave, but instead searched and examined the surroundings of the cave carefully like a searchlight.
After searching the house inside and out for several times and not finding the snake that Ye Qing mentioned, the three of them finally felt relieved.
"It's possible that the last time I came here, the snake got frightened and ran away with the bucket."
Ye Qing took a closer look at the ginseng on the top of the cave and found that the cluster of bright red wild fruits under the ginseng stems and leaves seemed to be gone. He didn't know whether they were picked by birds or small animals such as squirrels.
This means that the white-browed pit viper should not have come back during this period of time, otherwise with that thing guarding here, the small animals would not dare to approach, and none of the dozens of ginseng fruits would be lost.
The three of them now felt at ease to enter the cave and took out the various tools they had prepared in advance.
The location where the wild ginseng grows is a bit strange. The three people need to climb while prying away the rocks around the ginseng roots. They also need to be extremely careful not to damage the ginseng roots, otherwise the medicinal effects of the wild ginseng may be lost quickly when the herbs are prepared. So you can imagine how difficult this task is.
So the three of them stayed in the mountain for a whole day and night, until the next morning, when they were exhausted, they finally managed to carve the ginseng out of the mountain wall bit by bit with its entire tail intact.
However, after this ginseng digging, Nie Wei had a completely new and thorough understanding of the little girl Ye Qing.
"Ye Zhiqing, I, Nie Wei, have not admired many people in my life, but among all the lesbians I have met, you are definitely the best!"
The girl spent as much time with them as it took to dig ginseng. Moreover, she did not just sit there doing nothing but climbing up the rock wall to take their place. Her hard work was no less than his and Gu Weidong's. Even though her hands were covered with blisters, she never uttered a word and did not complain about the hard work.
This girl comes from a big city like Shanghai. She is small in stature and looks like a petite lady, but she seems to have enormous energy hidden in her body. Her spiritual core is so strong that even a man like Nie Wei feels inferior to her.
Ye Qing had suffered much more in the end times. When the extreme cold came, she followed the troops to the reservoir to break ice and dig out the frozen farmed freshwater fish. That work was even more difficult than digging ginseng, but she still managed to survive it.
Looking at this intact old ginseng, Ye Qing couldn't let it go. This thing that only existed in legends in later generations was now lying in her hands. The feeling was so mysterious that it seemed unreal.
Finally, he got what he wanted, and Nie Wei felt relieved.
The three of them sat in the cave and rested for a while before he tentatively asked Ye Qing:
"Ye Zhiqing, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ye Qing was startled, and instantly guessed what Nie Wei wanted her to do for him, and said with a smile:
"Brother Nie, what you said is not enough of a friend, right? I asked you to help deliver something to my relative before, and you didn't refuse at all. You even said that Gu Weidong's friends are your friends, and told me to go to the county to find you if I need your help in the future. Why are you being polite to me again now that it's your turn?"
Nie Wei immediately shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.
The main thing is that Ye Qing just helped him get this old ginseng, and the thing hasn’t even warmed up in his hands yet, but he wants others to help him again. Isn’t it a bit too much?
But this matter is really important to him, and he would not give up without asking. No matter whether the result is good or bad, he will not give up until he has tried it.
It was the day before yesterday when he arrived at Kaoshantun and met Gu Weidong's grandmother, Grandpa Miao. He learned that the old man was paralyzed in bed due to cerebral hemorrhage, and it was Ye Qing who was helping with the treatment. Now, he is slowly getting better.
This made Nie Wei both shocked and happy. He couldn't help but think of his old leader. The old man was also paralyzed in bed. Not only could he not take care of himself, but his physical functions were also getting worse and worse. A while ago, the old man in his family even started to breathe out more than he breathed in after being diagnosed with the disease.
The hospital had no idea what to do about it. The old leader's family and friends had sought treatment from many doctors, but the results were not satisfactory. The old man could only lie in bed and slowly die, but no one knew how long this situation would last.
Nie Wei originally thought that the old leader's condition was definitely incurable, and he was just an ordinary person who didn't know any famous doctors at all, so the only thing he could think of was to start with the old mountain ginseng and see if it could be of any help in this matter.
But after meeting Master Miao the night before, Nie Wei suddenly had other ideas in his mind.
"My old leader's condition is not good. He has tried both Chinese and Western medicine, and they all say that he may not survive the winter. I see that the effect of your treatment of Miao's grandmother is quite good, so I want to ask if it is convenient for you to go to the county to help me take a look at my old leader?"
"Don't worry, after reading this, if you can't solve the problem, then we'll just leave it at that. I won't bother you again."
This was really nothing to Ye Qing. When she heard Nie Wei say he wanted to find wild ginseng the day before yesterday, Ye Qing actually wanted to ask him if he needed her help to go to the clinic and take a look.
But when she thought about the fact that Nie Wei's old leader was either rich or noble, he might have a dedicated family doctor at home and even a mature medical team behind him. If she, a young and unknown barefoot doctor, said she could help with the treatment, people might think she was a charlatan and would probably kick her out without even letting her in.
So Ye Qing hesitated for a while and then didn't mention it.
Now that Nie Wei took the initiative to ask, Ye Qing did not hesitate and immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, take the ginseng back first, then go ask your leader's family and the patient's family for their opinions. If they all agree that I should treat the patient, then you can come to Kaoshantun to find me."
Ye Qing had the experience of treating patients but was questioned by the patients' families. Therefore, before seeing patients, one of the necessary procedures is to obtain the consent of the patients and their families. The prerequisite for treating patients is mutual trust and respect between doctors and patients. This is the bottom line of Ye Qing's medical practice and also her self-protection method.
Nie Wei was very happy to see that Ye Qing agreed. He thanked Ye Qing enthusiastically and said that after he took the old ginseng back, he would send the money for buying ginseng to him the next day or the day after.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry. Although she was the one who discovered the ginseng, the three of them had contributed when digging it. Logically, the three of them should all have a share of the ginseng. However, both Gu Weidong and Nie Wei opposed Ye Qing's suggestion of dividing it equally among the three of them. They insisted that the ownership of the old mountain ginseng belonged to Ye Qing, and the money from the sale would also belong to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing couldn't convince these two people, so he could only put the matter aside.
The three of them rested for a while, ate something to replenish their energy, and then set off to return home.

Ye Qing was also very happy to see these two "fox immortals":
"It's you two, aren't you here to steal ginseng fruit again? Then you've come here for nothing. The fruits of this year have been picked by other animals, and I dug up this ginseng. There will be no ginseng fruit to eat here in the future. You have to find another old ginseng, but be careful not to run into the ginseng-guarding snake again."
The two foxes looked at Ye Qing, not knowing whether they understood or not. After howling softly a few times, suddenly the female fox that was almost killed by the white-browed pit viper last time came forward and rubbed its chin against Ye Qing's palm.
Then the female fox opened her mouth, and suddenly something came out of her pointed mouth.
