However, Feng Chao watched from outside for a long time before coming out.
One reason is that it's inconvenient for him to show his face, and another reason is that he doesn't want to show his face.
The two were talking in Wu Lili's room when, somehow, Feng Chao ended up on the bed while comforting her.
Not long after, some of the educated youth returned.
It happened to be a female educated youth who shared a room with Wu Lili. When she saw the door was locked, she thought it was because I was old and too sad that I locked it.
She pounded on the door, calling out, "Wu Zhiqing, Wu Lili, open the door quickly, the team leader sent me to call you."
"You owe a lot of work points, so we're making you do some work!"
The two people inside were disheveled. Wu Lili quickly pushed Feng Chao away and, in a moment of panic, made him hide under the bed.
"They're here! They're here!"
She quickly dressed, checked that everything was in order, and then opened the door and went out.
Wu Lili pretended to be sad and said in a tearful voice.
"I'll go right away, I... I'm just feeling a little unwell..."
The educated youth outside the door usually disliked Wu Lili the most, and he felt disgusted when he saw her like this. He waved his hand and was about to leave.
"Anyway, I've delivered my message. Do whatever you want!"
She didn't notice that there was another person in the room.
It was only when I walked out that I realized Wu Lili's hair was messy and looked a bit strange.
But I didn't think much of it and just left.
Wu Lili only dared to let Feng Chao come out after watching the person walk away; she was so frightened that she could barely stand.
After what happened last time, she realized that if anything went wrong, she would definitely be the sole culprit.
"Teacher Feng, you should go back first. I have to go to work, otherwise the team leader will give me trouble again later."
Feng Chao was also somewhat regretful; it would have been troublesome if he had been discovered earlier.
He straightened his clothes and said to Wu Lili.
"Then take care of yourself, I'm going back now."
As Wu Lili watched Feng Chao's departing figure, she clenched her hands tightly.
If it weren't for the chance to return to the city, who would want to go with him? What a hypocrite!
Wu Lili planned to go back and get a straw hat to wear, but what she got almost scared to death.
On the bed where the two had just slept, a snake was now coiled up, hissing and flicking its tongue.
She didn't recognize the snake; she just instinctively felt afraid and wanted to run away.
Unexpectedly, there were other snakes in the house. Wu Lili's movement startled the other snakes, and in the chaos, she was bitten twice on the calf.
Wu Lili shouted loudly. Feng Chao hadn't gone far, but when he saw someone walking in that direction, he didn't go over.
The person who went back was the same educated youth from before.
She saw Wu Lili stumble out, and then she saw the figure of a snake. She was also scared, but she still brought the injured Wu Lili out.
After finally arriving at the clinic, Dr. He listened to Wu Lili's description and guessed that the snake on the bed must be poisonous.
Judging from her wounds, the snake that bit her was probably not venomous; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to get up.
The other educated youth who lived with her was terrified and dared not go back to live there.
Only Wu Lili knew where those snakes came from.
After Gu Shi and his companion returned home, Zhao Xiaobao excitedly took the contents of his basket out.
"Auntie, look, this is what I found!"
Zhao Xiaobao is becoming increasingly reliant on Lin Qingyu; whenever something happens, he immediately wants to contact her.
Lin Qingyu came out of the kitchen and immediately saw the Ganoderma lucidum in Zhao Xiaobao's hand.
"Wow! Is this Ganoderma lucidum? I don't really know much about it either. You should ask your uncle. It seems like this stuff is pretty good."
Then he showed it to Gu Shi, but he wasn't sure either.
Li Xiuhua saw this from the side and suggested taking it to Doctor He in the village for a look.
In the afternoon, Gu Shi took Zhao Xiaobao there.
"Yo!"
Dr. He didn't care much at first, but when Zhao Xiaobao showed it to him with her little hands, he started to take it seriously.
He put on his reading glasses and took a closer look; it was indeed a high-quality Ganoderma lucidum.
"This is a good thing. You can take a piece and make some soup for your mother. It will help her recover faster!"
Dr. He said this to Gu Shi, and then asked who found it.
Zhao Xiaobao confidently said it was him, and Doctor He praised him for being lucky.
Then he took a book from the cabinet behind him and gave it to Zhao Xiaobao to read.
Dr. He is over fifty years old. He has only one son who is unwilling to learn his trade and has now moved to the county.
Since he couldn't find anyone to inherit his skills, he thought of finding someone willing to learn.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaobao was quite interested in these things, He Jinhua asked Gu Shi.
"Would you be willing to let Xiaobao learn this from me? I see he hasn't been to school, so why not let him learn a skill from me so he won't go hungry in the future?"
Gu Shi seemed lost in thought. He didn't agree on the spot, but said, "I'll go back and discuss it with Qingyu."
After saying that, he took Zhao Xiaobao home, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaobao wanted to take the book with him.
"Uncle, could you ask Doctor He to lend me the book? What if I see these herbs again when I go up the mountain in the future?"
He Jinhua waved his hand and told him to take the book away.
After returning home, Gu Shi recounted what had happened.
Lin Qingyu looked at Zhao Xiaobao, who was squatting on the ground looking at pictures, and said with a smile.
“I think this is a good thing, and since you are his uncle, you can make the decision yourself. You don’t need to ask me specifically.”
Gu Shi glanced at Zhao Xiaobao in the courtyard before turning his gaze back to Lin Qingyu and said softly.
"You're my wife, if I don't discuss things with you, who else can I discuss them with?"
