"Uncle, you have medical books at home. Are you studying medicine?"
Lian Yi asked directly.
"Yes, I am studying Chinese medicine. Now that a natural disaster has struck, I don't have any herbs on hand, not even enough to prepare a set of medicine. I have no choice but to starve. My wife and I have run out of food. If I can't exchange for food, I will have to cut my own flesh."
The man really has no other choice.
"Are you the people who were evacuated to the temporary resettlement site?"
"Well, my family lived on the third floor. It was flooded in the second month. I survived in the corridor for a while, and then I had to live in the resettlement site."
Men tell the truth.
"Besides making medicine, what else do you have?"
Ripple continued to ask.
"I know acupuncture, cupping, and bone setting. I have all the skills required for traditional Chinese medicine."
When the man saw Lianyi asked so many detailed questions, he thought there was a chance and started promoting himself.
"Our team is short of a doctor. If you think you can do it, talk to your wife about moving to our place and becoming our exclusive doctor. I can't say I can feed you enough, but at least you won't go hungry."
Lianyi will not say too much, otherwise the gap will be too big and it will easily make people feel unbalanced.
"Oh! Really! Okay. I'll go back and pack my things with my wife right away!"
The man's eyes lit up, and he picked up the rags and the book on the ground. He didn't even bother to discuss it, and replied directly, fearing that Lianyi would regret it.
"Don't worry, we still have to go around, take your time to pack, we will meet at the entrance of the trading market in two hours."
"Okay! No problem!"
The man rolled up his things and quickly left the market.
When the people setting up stalls nearby saw this, within just two words the man joined the team and they immediately started promoting themselves.
"Beauty, do you need someone to warm your bed? I'm handsome and strong."
"Miss, I used to keep a cat. Take me back with you. I can take good care of both people and cats. Just give me some food."
"Go, go away! How can a young lady be so superficial? I was a five-star chef before the disaster. I can also cook a full-course meal."
"You don't even have the ingredients, are you making it with ice?"
Someone immediately retorted.
Yuan Chongming, who was standing by, had a gloomy face. What kind of people were these? He snorted coldly, stood in front of Lian Yi, isolated those who were getting closer, and said coldly:
"unnecessary!"
The three words were almost uttered with gnashing teeth. The surroundings fell silent, and then when most people looked at Yuan Chongming, they could only stop and say nothing. There was no way they could compare!
Lianyi smiled, touched Xuanfeng's head, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Just after walking past five or six stalls, a puzzled voice called out to Lianyi.
"Yu Lianyi, junior! Is that you?"
Lianyi turned around and saw Dong Ziqing, who looked a little embarrassed. Standing next to him was Sun Peng. Both of them looked at Lianyi, who looked glamorous and beautiful and could even afford to keep a cat, and their eyes sparkled.
"It's Senior Dong, long time no see! How did you guys end up like this?"
Lianyi curled the corners of her lips and inserted the first knife.
Dong Ziqing and Sun Peng's faces froze, and then they saw the two tall men who stopped beside her at the same time, with a look of understanding on their faces.
"Schoolgirl, we don't have the skills, we can only make ends meet, unlike you who are so capable and have bodyguards when you go out."
Sun Peng said meaningfully.
"Yes, indeed! I use bodyguards based on my own abilities. You really can't compare to me in this respect."
Lian Yi said very confidently.
Yuan Chongming and Li Qian looked indifferent. They just believed whatever Lian Yi said. Since the natural disaster, they had taken advantage of Lian Yi a lot. If they could repay the favor by being her bodyguards, they would be happy to do so.
Dong Ziqing and Sun Peng's faces froze again. They couldn't continue the conversation that day.
Dong Ziqing was sure that Lianyi had some interest in him before the natural disaster. He looked down on her before and only had Mu Mianmian in his eyes. But things are different now. Who wants to starve and freeze when there are good days to come? He is very happy to be able to rely on Lianyi and live off her.
So he coughed lightly and said:
"Lianyi, can you lend me a hand to talk?"
"You tell me! I dare not leave my bodyguard here."
Ripple continued.
Dong Ziqing looked at the people around him who were listening to the gossip, and then he spoke:
"Junior, why don't you go for a walk first, and when you leave, I'll come find you. There are some things that are not suitable to be said here."
Implying that what he said was important.
"Okay, let's talk about it when I leave."
Lianyi followed suit and continued to visit the trading market with Whirlwind in her arms.
After Lian Yi and his group walked away, Sun Peng spoke:
"The schoolgirl is doing well. I don't know which big brother she followed."
"Get in touch with her first."
"How?"
“The Place We Found”
Dong Ziqing just hinted and didn't say much.
"Do you think she'll take the bait?"
"You'll know if you give it a try, but you have to get into their team first."
Dong Ziqing said in a low voice.
"As you say."
The two turned around and blended back into the crowd, disappearing in a moment.
Lianyi didn't take the two of them seriously at all and continued to stroll leisurely, buying some cotton coats, cotton pants and shoes for Jiayao. The little guy had grown taller and his previous clothes were a little small.
When Yuan Chongming saw what Lianyi had exchanged, he touched his nose and felt lucky again that he had met such good neighbors.
After walking around, the three of them went to the entrance of the trading market and saw two people waiting anxiously.
Liu Zili looked at the entrance again and again, fearing that he had missed someone. His haggard old wife Xu Fenfang didn't say much. She trusted her lover very much. They had been together for so many years, so she had a good idea of what kind of person her husband was.
"Fenfang, someone is coming!"
Liu Zili immediately helped his old wife up and spoke in a low voice with uncontrollable joy in his voice.
"Who is it?"
Xu Fenfang asked, she was farsighted and couldn't see clearly if the distance was too close.
"That pretty girl in a white mink coat with a little black cat in her arms."
Liu Zili said immediately.
"Yeah, I saw it! You can tell at a glance that he's a capable person."
Xu Fenfang has seen countless people and is very accurate in her judgment. Before, her husband did not believe in her judgment and did not listen to her advice. He suffered a big setback after the natural disaster. Now, her husband listens to whatever she says.
The two supported each other and walked in front of Lianyi.
".We are ready!"
Liu Zili then realized that he didn't know how to address the other person and could only speak with some embarrassment.
"Just call me Lianyi. Our captain is this, Li Qian. This is my neighbor Yuan Chongming, and his nephew Tan Jiayao!"
Lianyi smiled and introduced her companions to the two of them.
"Meow!"
Tornado was unhappy. Why didn’t you introduce Meow?
"This is my little baby, named Black Whirlwind. You can just call him Whirlwind. He is very smart and can understand human language."
Lianyi stroked the whirlwind and added with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Zili, I was a Chinese medicine practitioner before the disaster, and this is my wife Xu Fenfang, she's the head nurse and knows simple first aid."
When Liu Zili introduced himself, he also did not forget to supplement his wife's skills and strive to earn more food. (End of this chapter)
