After calming down, Song Lili realized that she had overreacted and made a big fuss.
She looked at Wu Ying and asked, "Can you tell Fangfang's problem?"
"Is she having psychological problems? Actually, I don't know much about it, but I had a friend who studied this area before, so I know a little about it."
"Do you know how to treat it?" Song Lili looked at Wu Ying with some anticipation.
This was the first time in a long time that she had encountered someone in this place who knew about mental health issues, and she was somewhat desperate and grasping at straws.
Wu Ying shook her head with some regret, "I don't know, I just thought her behavior was similar, but I think you did a good job."
Song Lili was disappointed for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Oh, I see. I was just too anxious. But it's alright, Fangfang is getting better and better. With time, it won't be so serious anymore."
However, it will eventually leave a mark on her heart, which is why Song Lili wants to find a psychologist to help Song Fang fully recover.
However, this idea is probably just a pipe dream now.
"Just keep doing it your way. My friend once said that many psychological problems arise from emotional trauma."
"Whether it's caused by oneself, by others, or by external circumstances, it's all about emotions."
“Once the emotional wounds have healed, then the anxiety won’t be an issue anymore. I think it’s right for you to stay with her.”
Wu Ying was just a friend she met while she was abroad, and she only occasionally heard bits and pieces of information from her. She really didn't know anything else.
Song Lili smiled and said, "Then thank you for your kind words, Dr. Wu. I also hope she can fully recover." This time, her smile was much more genuine.
"Do you go to school?" Wu Ying suddenly asked Song Lili.
Song Lili looked at Song Fang, who was squatting on the ground digging for wild vegetables in the distance, and said, "She's in junior high school now, and I guess she'll graduate this year."
I just don't know if I'll actually get my diploma in the end.
"But it seems like you haven't been to school much," Wu Ying asked after much hesitation.
She felt that Song Lili was a promising talent, and that her future should not be spent in this small mountain village, so she hoped that Song Lili could go to school and use her knowledge to get out of the village.
"That's because there are no teachers in junior high school, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not." And she herself didn't want to go.
"No teachers? Then... it's just a title?" Wu Ying asked in surprise.
Song Lili nodded, "Yes, the conditions here are not good. There used to be teachers in junior high and high schools, but several of them starved to death, leaving only two primary school teachers."
Song Lili learned these things from other people.
"Hey... so you didn't learn anything? Do you... want to learn? Actually, I can..."
“Expert Wu,” Song Lili interrupted Wu Ying, knowing without even listening what she was about to say.
"If possible, it's best not to talk about your situation with others too much, and even more so, don't reveal your abilities."
In light of what Wu Ying had just said to Song Lili about Song Fang, Song Lili kindly reminded Wu Ying.
"Perhaps, you never know when that weapon will be used against you, so it's better to keep a low profile and be safer."
After saying that, Song Lili wanted to leave. She and Wu Ying had only met twice and were not even familiar with each other.
"What do you mean?" Wu Ying suddenly grabbed Song Lili's arm. She asked very seriously, her eyes probing as she looked at Song Lili.
Why would she say something like that? Does she know something? Or was she just saying it casually?
Wu Ying was very unsettled. She couldn't believe that Song Lili knew something, because what could she possibly know in this small mountain village?
However, Wu Ying couldn't just dismiss what she said as a casual remark, because she understood the meaning behind it.
Song Lili smiled and pulled Wu Ying's hand down. "It means exactly what it says. Expert Wu, I hope everything goes well for you in Hongqi Village and that you can leave safely in the end."
After saying that, Song Lili walked away. She saw that Song Fang had already gone far away, and she couldn't let Song Fang leave alone.
Song Lili left, but Wu Ying remained in a daze for a long time, Song Lili's words still echoing in her mind.
The weapon that hurt you? Is that what she meant?
But how could she know? How could she? It shouldn't be possible!
Was it really just a casual remark? Or was she overthinking it?
Wu Ying shook her head, feeling that it didn't seem like something he said casually, but rather something he deliberately said to her.
Wu Ying hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed Song Lili, wanting to find out everything.
Song Lili found Song Fang and discovered that she had already dug up a lot of wild vegetables, and quite a variety of them.
"Fangfang, stop digging. I've seen enough. I'll only eat one or two meals, I don't need so much. Let's go home."
Knowing that Song Fang didn't like wild vegetables, she decided to only cook them for one meal and stick to noodles and rice from now on.
As soon as the two sisters turned around, they saw Wu Ying walking towards them. Song Lili frowned and asked, "Expert Wu, is there anything else?"
But she felt a little regretful, regretting that she had said those things out of momentary weakness, and now she was being pestered.
She frowned impatiently, making no attempt to hide her disgust, which Wu Ying could clearly and plainly sense.
When Wu Ying saw Song Lili's expression, all the questions she wanted to ask stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
The child disliked her; she didn't like being asked questions, nor did she like her being near her.
Wu Ying stopped and did not approach any further. The gentle smile on her face also faded considerably, but her gentle demeanor was still evident.
"Oh, nothing, I was just about to ask you how to cook these wild vegetables, but I don't need to now. I just remembered, you probably don't know how to cook them either."
Wu Ying didn't stick to her own thoughts and gave a very flimsy reason, but of course, everyone could save face.
"I'm done with this. I'm sorry to bother you. I see you seem to be heading home, so you should go back now."
"It's too late for a girl to be out alone, and my family will worry. I... I have to go back now. Goodbye."
Wu Ying seemed somewhat flustered, her words were incoherent, and her eyes were darting around.
Song Lili relaxed completely. Since Wu Ying didn't press her for details, even though her excuse was lame, she felt relieved.
"In that case, Mr. Wu, why don't you ask the other aunties? They've been cooking for decades, so they definitely have more experience than me."
