His gaze fell on Ye Zhiyu's beautiful back of the head. In his haste, he had cupped her face in his hands, which, being large, reached inside the gauze covering the back of her head.
There were no visible wounds, but her horrific condition a few days earlier was real.
But Lu Chen wasn't afraid at all; he just wanted to protect his little girl's secret.
Suddenly, my eyes fixed on something—it was... ginseng?
Lu Chen approached and examined it carefully. It looked quite old, so he started digging cautiously.
This is a good opportunity to help the little girl recover. Although her injury has healed, who knows what might happen inside?
With that in mind, Lu Chen dug even more carefully.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhiyu's brows were so furrowed they could have trapped a fly.
How could there not be?
Could it be that this body truly possesses extraordinary talent?
After Lu Chen dug out the ginseng intact, he saw Ye Zhiyu squatting on the ground with a worried look on her face, poking the ground with a twig in her hand.
Lu Chen approached with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhiyu snapped out of her daze. "It's nothing, let's go."
There's no point in staying here if we haven't found any spiritual energy.
Who knew that if he squatted for too long and stood up too quickly, his vision would go black, his legs would give way, and he would fall forward.
Lu Chen dropped the ginseng in his hand and caught Ye Zhiyu in his arms.
With the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Lu Chen had no mind to appreciate it, and instead frantically looked at the person in his arms.
Seeing her slowly open her eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you alright?"
Ye Zhiyu shook her head, put her arm around Lu Chen's chest to steady herself, and was about to back away when she paused.
She was stunned. She saw a continuous stream of spiritual energy gathering from Lu Chen's body to his chest, and then entering her palm.
Help! Someone tell her what's going on. Why does Lu Chen have spiritual energy in his body? Wasn't this world supposed to be free of spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China? Why has it been turned into a fantasy movie?
Suddenly, a possibility came to mind.
He hurriedly pushed away the person supporting him, his hand frozen in place, his eyes dim, and he didn't take it too seriously.
He withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, it's getting late."
Then they led the way back.
Ye Zhiyu, standing behind him, followed stiffly with a blank expression, her legs moving instinctively.
A little voice inside me is crying in a storm.
Daddy, she's doomed! She's going to turn into a monster! Waaaaaah...
Why do I say that? Ye Zhiyu just thought of a possibility: if what she absorbed wasn't spiritual energy, then there's only one possibility—it was Lu Chen's yang energy.
It is widely believed in the demon realm that male yang energy is no different from spiritual energy, and that associating with men and absorbing their yang energy can greatly increase one's power.
Those who consume it experience no discomfort and die in a blissful dream.
There is another possibility, which is evil cultivation. Evil cultivation also involves converting others into one's own, but the situation is different.
Those who were ingested looked pained and their faces were distorted, but Lu Chen did not.
Yang energy?
Did I absorb Lu Chen's yang energy?
Dad, help!!!
Thinking of the extra spiritual energy Lu Chen had given her the day he saved her, the second day, the third day... and just now.
Oh my god, is Lu Chen going to die? No, no, Lu Chen must not die.
Unbeknownst to her, Ye Zhiyu was already in tears, sobbing softly.
Hearing the sound, Lu Chen quickly turned around and saw her face covered in tears, which made him panic.
He wanted to reach out and wipe her tears, but then he remembered how she had pushed him away earlier, so he froze and put his hand down.
"Don't cry."
Ye Zhiyu looked at him through teary eyes, "Lu Chen, are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Chen was puzzled, but still shook his head.
Ye Zhiyu calmed herself down. As long as she stayed away from Lu Chen in the future, that would be fine. She needed to think of a way to make up for Lu Chen's shortcomings.
The two of them went down the mountain with their own thoughts on them, carrying back all the remaining grass that Ye Zhiyu had.
When it was time to part, Lu Chen handed the ginseng he had hidden to Ye Zhiyu.
"Take this back to nourish your body."
Ye Zhiyu's eyes widened. Lu Chen didn't know how old this ginseng was, but she did—it was 50 years old.
"Did you get it from the mountains?"
Lu Chen nodded, and Ye Zhiyu was no longer surprised. No one dared to go into the deep mountains and forests, so naturally no one would discover it.
Ginseng: Who would have thought that Lao Liu would dare to take that position? I'm impressed.
"I don't want it, you're the one who should get some nourishment."
Lu Chen was stunned...
"Stop fooling around."
Ye Zhiyu said seriously, "I'm not joking. You really should get some nourishment, but I don't want to."
As if afraid Lu Chen would give it to her, she turned and ran away.
Lu Chen quickly called out to her, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Ye Zhiyu stopped, turned around and looked at him warily, "What is it?"
"I'm going out to do transport work at 7 a.m. tomorrow and will be back in a while."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiyu subconsciously asked, "When will you be back?"
"Maybe a week, maybe three or four days."
"It's been so long." Ye Zhiyu was unhappy. In just a few days, she had already gotten used to having Lu Chen by her side.
Noticing the little girl's reluctance, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with joy.
Whether she was reluctant to part with him as a laborer or simply couldn't bear to part with him, it meant that he held a place in her heart.
Thinking this, I coaxed her, "I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
He could have easily chosen not to go, because he was certain that he couldn't live without her. But he wanted to calm himself down, otherwise, if he remained so impulsive, he was afraid he might do something irreversible.
"No, safety should be the priority." Ye Zhiyu frowned and refused. What if they encounter danger while running so fast?
Lu Chen smiled and agreed gently, "Okay, Lu Yun will accompany you for the next few days."
Since she doesn't want the ginseng, we can take it to the city and sell it. We can use the proceeds to buy her something or give her the money.
......
Li Xi walked with uneven steps. She hadn't eaten all day and had worked all day. She was exhausted and hungry, and her cheeks were slightly sunken, making her look several years older.
