Small courtyard.
After having breakfast together, Gu Qichuan and Zhou Yubai went to work.
Shen Qingli sent Zhou Yubai out as usual, "I'll take Xiao Hei up the mountain later. I have a lot to do today, so I may not be able to come back in time for lunch."
"Okay, be careful and stay safe." Zhou Yubai warned.
Shen Qingli nodded.
Gu Qichuan looked at Shen Qingli, "Going up the mountain to collect herbs?"
"Well, I treated a patient yesterday and prepared medicine for him." Shen Qingli was very frank with Gu Qichuan. Gu Qichuan was a smart man and would not say anything that he shouldn't.
"Be careful. I'll give you the money when you come back tonight." Gu Qichuan paused. "After I build my house, I'd like to come to your house for dinner."
"Okay, we have a big family anyway, so we don't need a pair of chopsticks from you." Shen Qingli smiled and waved to them.
They left together.
The captain already knew that Gu Qichuan had moved into Zhou Yubai's house. Although he didn't understand why, since neither party had any objections, he naturally wouldn't interfere.
When assigning work, just let them work in pairs.
Zhou Yubai: There’s no need to take care of me like that.
Gu Qichuan: Same as above.
After Shen Qingli sent Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan away, she prepared the meals for lunch.
"Ruirui, mom won't be back until the afternoon, so please heat up the food for lunch," Shen Qingli said.
"Okay, Mom, be careful when going up the mountain, and rest when you are tired." Gou Wa was a little worried. He actually wanted to go with Shen Qingli, but Niu Niu couldn't be left alone to take care of her.
"Okay, don't worry." Shen Qingli found some snacks for Niu Niu, then carried the basket and took Xiao Hei up the mountain.
Gou Wa closed the door and then he had to clean up the house before taking Niuniu out.
On the mountain.
Shen Qingli asked Xiao Hei to go play.
She released her mental power, made sure there was no one around, and immediately began to let herself go. She was as agile as a... monkey in the mountains, jumping up and down happily.
She quickly found the medicine that Zhuzi needed.
Then, Shen Qingli entered the space. She left herself enough time to rest well in the space.
I first went to the villa to take a comfortable hot bath, and then found herbs to prepare scar-removing ointment in my own medicine garden.
Her medicine garden is not big, but the herbs in it are all grown by her with great care. They have space to nourish and their efficacy is much better than those in the mountains and forests.
Shen Qingli held her introductory medical notes and thought for a long time. The quality of her paper was too good to be a product of this era...
I can only take the trouble to memorize the introductory medical book for Gou Wa by myself.
She is such a dedicated mother.
Shen Qingli chuckled, moved her mind, and left the space.
Just as Shen Qingli was about to go down the mountain, she suddenly heard a weak cry for help.
She walked towards the sound.
"Hey, Lao Qin, how did you fall into the trap? Don't worry, I'll find something to pull you out." An elderly man turned around anxiously for several times before he found a relatively thick branch.
"Lao Qin, you caught it, I will pull you up."
"Ouch, ouch, Lao Zhuang, I can't move."
"What should I do? Don't worry, I'll go back to the bullpen to see who's there and call someone to help."
"Lao Zhuang, stop shouting. We are all old. It is exhausting for them to climb the mountain. Stop wasting your time. I think it is better for us to die here."
"Old Qin, what are you saying? Although our situation is not good now, it will eventually pass."
"Lao Zhuang, do you believe it?"
The two fell silent.
Lao Zhuang sat down on the edge of the trap and spoke with sobs for a long time.
"Old Qin, when we fought the Japanese before, it was very difficult. I thought it would never be more difficult than that time. So many of our brothers and sisters died. We finally won, but now we are defeated by our own people."
"Yes, now it's quite ridiculous to me. I, Qin, have let my parents, my wife, and my children down in my life, but I have never let the country down. However, my parents, my wife, and my children never gave up on me, but the country gave up on me." Old Qin wiped away his tears.
"Ah, those people will definitely get their comeuppance."
"Whether they get retribution or not, I won't be able to see it. Lao Zhuang, you go back first, come back in two days, and then bury me on the spot. We are brothers, and I'm leaving first." Lao Qin felt a sense of relief.
Lao Zhuang couldn't hold back his tears. He covered his face and sobbed.
Their life was so difficult, with nothing to eat or drink, and they still had to work every day. Although Kaoshantun was not like other places where people were constantly criticized and struggled against, people from the Revolutionary Committee often came to examine their thoughts.
They are all passionate men who have carried guns, but now...
These people have suffered so much.
A few days ago, Lao Zhang secretly hanged himself on a tree behind the house under the cover of night. When they went to look for him, they were already erect.
These dark days without sunlight are so hard to endure.
Shen Qingli stood not far away, listening to the conversation between the two old men, feeling mixed emotions.
This was the first time she faced the victims of this national farce since her time travel.
They went through fire and water for this country without fear of hardship or death, yet they were beaten and insulted by their own compatriots.
It makes me sad just thinking about it.
"Are you guys okay?" Shen Qingli stepped forward and asked gently.
"Little girl." When Lao Zhuang saw Shen Qingli, he was stunned for a moment and quickly wiped his tears.
"Is someone coming?" Lao Qin asked.
"There was a little girl passing by here while picking herbs." Lao Zhuang replied.
"Let her go. Contact with us will bring trouble to her." Old Qin leaned decadently in the trap without raising his head.
Shen Qingli had already walked over. She looked at the depth of the trap. With her current skills, it wouldn't be a problem for her to jump in and pull the person out. But the problem was that she looked a little weak...
"Uncle, don't be afraid, I'll find a way." After Shen Qingli said that, she took out a whistle and blew it, and soon Xiao Hei came running over.
Such a huge creature rushed over, and Lao Zhuang was startled...
