Liang Qi watched Li Youliang's back, and it finally came to an end. Liang Qi pressed his temples.
No wonder there were two people taking pulses before. Their facial features were indeed different. So that's how it is. It's God's will. If I can save one, it's the best.
When Chen Baoxiang looked at the pretty Liang Qi, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
Liang Qi glanced at him. The village captain was cunning and had a smile on his face. Although he looked amiable and didn't make people feel alienated, she just couldn't like him.
She still liked the village party secretary's clear likes and dislikes and his openness.
"Qi Qi, is there anything you need Uncle Chen's help with?" Chen Baoxiang said, looking at the graceful Liang Qi.
He just heard that the daughter-in-law of the Li family was in excruciating pain, and in the end, he didn't know how the woman managed to stop the bleeding after a few pricks.
This is very strange. I have never seen this woman with bound feet treating patients before. She always looked pretentious and depressed. It’s nothing like now. Her whole temperament has changed.
She was graceful and stood straight, no longer hunched over with her back hunched, and her eyes were deep yet clear like a girl's, a combination of contradictions.
Chen Baoxiang was still analyzing Liang Qi when Liang Qi turned around and saw the captain's gaze, which he couldn't retract in time.
Seeing the look in Liang Qi's eyes, Chen Baoxiang felt a little embarrassed. Liang Qi didn't want to deal with the village captain unless it was necessary.
Just pretending not to notice the captain's doubts, he said straight to the point, "Captain, I'm here to pay the compensation, three cents." Liang Qi took it out and put it on the table.
"Oh, look at you, it's not a big deal with just a few potatoes," Chen Baoxiang said, his hands moving without slowing down at all, and he picked them up.
"Xiao Li, take note, this is Liang Qi's compensation." He then flattened it with his hands.
Liang Qi looked at the hypocritical Captain Chen.
"There's one more thing. I didn't ask for leave yesterday to take Chen Ermao and the others to the county hospital. I'm here to make up for it today. Please don't deduct my work points!"
Liang Qi didn't know whether Chen Xiuying had asked for leave for them yesterday. If they were absent from work without asking for leave, their work points would be deducted.
"Oh, you mean this? I didn't ask for leave, but I was in a hurry to get a certificate of absence, so I just took it and left."
Then he continued, "It's okay, you can make up for it today," Chen Baoxiang said to Liang Qi with a smile.
The note-taker Xiao Li was writing and drawing on a slightly curled notebook with a pen on the shabby table next to him.
"Okay, can I take a look at the record?" Liang Qi was afraid that this girl would say something and then have someone cross it out.
"Okay, whatever," Chen Baoxiang was thinking. Although he was a child of a landlord, he was actually an uneducated girl with bound feet. Even if you looked at her, you wouldn't be able to see anything special about her.
Li Ji finished drawing a few strokes and pointed out the location of the drawing to Liang Qi. "This is the leave you requested yesterday. I have already recorded it."
He didn't flatter Liang Qi and treated him with the same attitude as when he picked up the tools in the morning.
Liang Qi looked at the crooked words on it and found that it was indeed the symbol for asking for leave, a circle.
"Thank you. Also, I have finished digging potatoes this morning, so I won't be going there in the afternoon. Can you help me keep track of the work points when you go to the fields this afternoon?" Liang Qi didn't go to the fields in the afternoon, so someone was needed to watch over him when the work points were recorded.
"Okay, that's okay. Just finish your work. I thought you wanted to earn some more work points. In that case, I'll go to the field later and record your work points first." Scorer Li now admires Liang Qi very much.
After getting divorced, people become more and more capable and can live freely without relying on men.
"Thank you so much," Liang Qi still likes people who mean what they say, who don't beat around the bush and are easy to deal with.
"You're welcome, we're from the same village." He was also thinking that he would come to her if he was sick in the future. This was something he did often, and it was something that came easily to him. She was so polite, which meant she thought highly of him.
"Uncle Chen, Recorder Li, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go do my work first," Liang Qi went up the mountain with a basket on his back, walking happily.
Liang Qi, carrying a basket on his back, had already reached the foot of the mountain. No one dared to climb this mountain. Someone had gone up there before and never came out again.
When they reached the foot of the mountain and walked a little further, Liang Qi saw that the ground had been trampled and there was no grass left. He frowned and thought that it had been harvested and there was nothing left.
You can only walk further in, there is nothing here.
The further you go in, the wetter it gets, and the taller the trees grow and the more lush the grass underneath grows.
I didn't think there was anything special before. At most, it was just a stretch of mountains that seemed to have no end. Only when you go there in person can you know that what the old man said makes sense. The deeper you go, the stronger the eerie feeling becomes.
Liang Qi didn't dare to go any further. They were already quite a distance away from the foot of the mountain, and if they went any further they might get lost.
Liang Qi put down the basket and knocked inside with a sickle. There were a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms inside. These were all good things.
Liang Qi picked out the wild bitter herbs and even some wild alfalfa, but they looked much older and tender shoots had grown from the roots below. Fortunately, there were some edible ones left. Liang Qi pinched the tender ones one by one with his hands.
After cutting down all the other wild vegetables, Liang Qi picked the mushrooms, but many of them were bad. He picked out the good ones and cleaned them up. He also picked up some half-dried ones and took them home to dry before eating.
No one has been here for a long time, so she cut a lot of it. If she can't finish it, she can dry it and store it so that she can eat it at any time.
After picking for a while, Liang Qi had picked quite a few fruits. Before he knew it, he had walked deeper into the distance and had picked a lot of fruits along the way.
After picking up for a while, Liang Qi raised his slightly sore neck and found that it was not in the original position. Frightened, Liang Qi quickly stood up.
She moved along the way without realizing it, quickly filled her pockets, picked up the mushrooms, and walked back the way she came with the sickle. Fortunately, Liang Qi was squatting, and she had pressed down a lot of grass along the way, leaving traces, which made it easy to identify.
Now, Liang Qi was no longer in a hurry. He looked around slowly. He could hear the chirping of insects, which meant that this place should be relatively safe.
The vegetation here is very green. When I was a child, I heard people say that this forest is always green in winter. I don’t know if this is true.
Liang Qi also discovered that the village was located in a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was a lake in an open area surrounded by mountains on three sides.
I heard that the water comes from the mountains, but due to severe drought in the early years, the flow was directly cut off, and the water level in the lake dropped by nearly 50 centimeters.
When the drought was severe, some people went in to find the source of water, but unfortunately they never came out.
Knowing that the water source is inside, no one dares to look for the source, but many people do not know the exact location of the source.
