"Take it—!!"
Zhiyin glanced at her with disdain, looking at her face, which was swollen from the beating, with some redness and broken skin. After thinking for a moment, she took out a medicine from her sleeve to prevent scarring and gave it to her.
She disliked Zhi Zhaodi, but she didn't want her to be disfigured because of her.
After all, the old Zhi family is so stingy, they would never find her a doctor.
"Get lost—!! Good luck to you!"
Zhiyin looked into Zhizhaodi's resentful and timid eyes and gently shook her head.
It's pitiful that Zhi Zhaodi was sold to an old widower. If it were modern times, she would definitely call the police and let them uphold justice for her.
However, this is ancient times, and such things are quite normal here.
She cannot use modern thinking to view everything from the past.
She could only try her best to influence the people around her, but she didn't know how much she could influence them.
Furthermore, considering that the old lady's family had indirectly caused the original owner's death, Zhiyin could not feel any sympathy for them.
Everyone must pay the price for their actions!
Having said that, Zhiyin stopped lingering, patted the mule's rump, and the mule cart shot off like an arrow.
"Pooh--!!"
Zhi Zhaodi covered her swollen and painful face, looked in the direction Zhiyin had left, and spat angrily on the ground.
She weighed the ointment in her hand, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, then suddenly smashed it on the ground. "Who cares? What a hypocrite!!"
However, after standing there for two seconds, she silently picked it up again.
Looking at the dark night sky, and thinking about the possibility of being beaten when she got back, she couldn't help but shrink back.
But in the end, she disregarded the injury on her face and gritted her teeth, eagerly heading home.
…
Zhiyin was unaware of what was happening here and continued heading home.
On the way, I also saw the elderly couple from the Zhi family who were looking for someone, and their angry expressions were evident.
Zhiyin knew that Zhizhaodi was bound to get a beating, but it had nothing to do with her.
Respect the fate of others and let go of the urge to help others!
"I hope you don't do anything irreversible in your desperation, otherwise I will definitely not be polite to you just because you're a girl!"
Zhiyin muttered to himself, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.
She was actually a little afraid that Zhao Di would be driven to a dead end and might commit murder or arson.
"But with her cowardly nature, she probably wouldn't dare even if she had ten times the courage!"
"Sigh, that old Zhi is always popping up here and there. We see each other all the time, it's really annoying."
Thinking of this, Zhiyin was somewhat hoping that they would commit some heinous crimes, so that they could be driven out of Xinghe Village or even thrown into prison.
…
"My dear granddaughter Yinyin, you're finally back! I was so worried about you."
Old Huang and Yao Yulin sat on stools by the door, staring intently and nervously at the outside.
Upon hearing the familiar braying of a mule, they jumped up together, looking at her with joy.
Thinking of his earlier worries, Old Huang couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
Since he abdicated the throne to his son, he has been wandering around and has almost forgotten what his grandchildren look like.
I never expected that in just two short days here, I would experience the long-lost joy of being surrounded by my children and grandchildren, and the pleasure of living out my twilight years.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little sentimental and realized he should go back and visit them.
Zhiyin, completely unaware of his thoughts, smiled gently at the two of them, "Haha, here I am, aren't I?"
As she spoke, she quickly took the milk tea out of the mule cart, "Clang clang~"
"Hehe, look, what's this?"
"Wow, my favorite double-skin milk pudding!!!"
Zhihua saw this scene as soon as she came out, and her eyes lit up instantly.
Old Huang, Yao Yulin, and Ziyou also hurried over to take it, laughing and joking.
"Huahua, could you take these three cups to Aunt Xu and Uncle Lan's house?"
Zhiyin smiled and gave Zhihua instructions.
"Okay, sister~"
When Zhihua ate the double-skin milk pudding, her eyes instantly narrowed with joy, and she skipped away.
…
The next morning, Zhiyin was awakened by the sound of raindrops pattering against the window.
Looking at the dark, misty sky outside, Zhiyin shivered slightly.
Looking up, Zhihua and Yao Yulin were nowhere to be seen.
"Drawing is really hard work."
Zhiyin gently shook her head, too sleepy to continue sleeping.
When I woke up again, the rain had receded, but it was still damp outside.
"Hehe, it just rained, there should be mushrooms on the back hill! Perfect for making hot pot this morning!"
Upon realizing this, Zhiyin's eyes lit up instantly, and she sprang out of bed with a swift movement.
I couldn't wait to head towards the back of the mountain. I had always been to the same place before, so I hadn't really taken a good look at the back of the mountain.
Only by observing carefully now can one discover that the back mountain is actually full of treasures.
"Wow, is this silver ear fungus? There's actually silver ear fungus?"
Zhiyin's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the pure white things growing on the tree trunk like flowers.
She quickly started picking the fruit and putting it into her basket, thinking, "I'll have hot pot for breakfast, and for lunch I can soak some red dates and goji berries in white fungus porridge."
"This white fungus is of such high quality, it will definitely produce a lot of gelatin."
Thinking of this, Zhiyin was extremely excited, her eyes fixed on the trees as she moved through them.
Soon after, her friends, including the big white wolf and the fox, found her again and led her deeper into the back mountain.
"Wow, these are shiitake mushrooms, deer antler mushrooms, and tea tree mushrooms, right?... "
The more she looked at him, the brighter her eyes became, and she frantically picked and picked.
As the environment became increasingly humid, various colorful and vibrant mushrooms appeared before her.
Of course, there are also many poisonous plants like Boletus luridus.
"Wow, this back mountain is huge! It's amazing! There are even wild mulberries and wild raspberries! We can use them to make wine! These are great for moisturizing the lungs, nourishing the skin, and beautifying the complexion!"
Zhiyin is like an ignorant country bumpkin, finding everything novel and fascinating.
