Lin Qixia: "!"
She was stunned.
After all, this tree is much thicker than the agarwood tree on the mountain before.
In addition, she didn't have a saw, so she hadn't planned to finish so quickly; it would have taken her at least a day or two.
Now that Huo Yanqing has done this, things have become much easier.
Huo Yanqing's lips curved slightly into a smile at her reaction.
"Carry it back?" he asked.
"Huh?" Lin Qixia asked in disbelief, "Can you do it?"
This tree is quite large, and the system space is still very limited, so she can't put it in and take it away like before.
Therefore, I originally planned to cut it into pieces and then slowly move it back.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qixia's words were tantamount to provoking Huo Yanqing.
Without saying a word, he bent down and lifted the tree onto his shoulder.
Then, under Lin Qixia's shocked gaze, he walked nonchalantly towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Qixia twitched the corner of her mouth, then followed him back, calling out, "Take it easy!"
It would be bad if the old injury relapsed as a result.
After the two arrived near his home, Lin Qixia asked him to place the tree in an open space near his yard, and she would deal with it when she had time.
Only after that did she go home.
For the next period of time, Lin Qixia was busy making activity equipment. Her woodworking skills were not very good, and her related knowledge was not comprehensive.
So she spent 50 gold coins to ask the system for a series of instructions, and then followed the steps one by one.
To avoid being disturbed, she works in a deserted open space behind the yard.
Fortunately, she has always been good at hands-on activities.
During this time, she used a lot of wood to make wheels and supports.
Many of them were scattered parts, making it increasingly difficult for Huo Yanqing, who was silently observing from the side, to understand them.
"What is this for?" Huo Yanqing finally couldn't help but ask her one day.
Amidst her busy work, Lin Qixia glanced up at him and replied, "Of course it's for my older brother to use for exercising..."
Huo Yanqing: "..."
This answer is no different than saying nothing at all.
He simply stopped asking and mostly just watched her busy herself.
Sometimes when she needed help, she would ask him for a hand, and Huo Yanqing would always cooperate with her honestly.
And so, Lin Qixia worked here for more than ten days.
In the past ten days or so, Lin Qixia's busy schedule has attracted too much attention.
This inevitably attracted the attention of many villagers.
That day, she bumped into an acquaintance from the village.
Liu Ermei looked at Lin Qixia with surprise as she saw her chopping a thick piece of wood. "Oh, what is that girl from the Lin family doing?"
"I'm making something to treat my older brother's leg," Lin Qixia replied truthfully.
Liu Ermei looked surprised. "Treat your brother's legs? I didn't expect you to actually plan to treat your brother's legs!"
"Of course!" Lin Qixia wiped the sweat from her face and replied with a serious smile.
Afterwards, Liu Ermei muttered under her breath, "You little brat, you really know how to cause trouble. Even Doctor Gu said there's no cure, but you just won't believe it."
"The eldest brother of the Lin family didn't even try to stop them. They're already so poor, yet they keep wasting things!"
Those logs all look like good logs; if sold, they could be exchanged for a lot of grain.
She shook her head with regret and left shakily.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia shrugged, not caring about what she said.
The most important thing right now is to get these things done as soon as possible.
...
Soon, Liu Ermei told many people what she had seen behind the Lin family's courtyard.
The news spread throughout the village that the Lin family girl was going to treat her older brother's leg.
"Her? She really thinks highly of herself!"
"It must be because he's jealous of Gu Ciyu, and he's not convinced, so he has to go against her."
“That’s right, that’s right. Lin Xiao has been paralyzed for a year now, and I’ve never seen her care about her older brother like this before.”
Someone saw Gu Ciyu and asked her, "Right? Miss Gu?"
Gu Ciyu, carrying a basket of herbs, happened to pass by. Upon hearing this, she paused for a moment, then calmly replied, "I don't think Miss Lin's intentions were wrong. It's good that she had the heart, but..."
As she spoke, she frowned, looking worried: "Brother Lin has an extremely serious and incurable disease. It's already a miracle that he's alive. With her causing him so much trouble, his condition could very well get worse."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ermei was the first to agree, "Gu Yatou is right! That Lin Qixia is just reckless!"
"Miss Gu is so kind. Lin Qixia hasn't treated you well either, yet you still care so much about his older brother."
"It's a pity that Lin Xiao is stuck with such a stupid sister."
At this point, many people in Xiahe Village had given up hope on what Lin Qixia was doing.
Some even felt that she was harming her older brother, and for a time, the discussions about her became increasingly negative.
...
For Lin Qixia, she has been focusing on her own things during this period.
They ignored the rumors circulating outside.
When the final product was released, Huo Yanqing, who was initially completely confused, gradually began to understand the general idea.
Even the role of some of them.
Once everything was finished, Lin Qixia looked at the several finished products in front of her and nodded in satisfaction: "Absolutely perfect!"
She made several handrails that could be fixed in the yard for her older brother to use, a wooden low parallel bars, a wheelchair, and a pair of crutches for him.
These are all major projects.
That's why it took Lin Qixia almost half a month.
During this period, Lin Xiao will do some simple upper limb exercises, and his body will recover better enough to undergo further rehabilitation training.
"Tata! Big brother, look!"
Lin Qixia arranged and set everything up in the yard before letting He Zhilan help Lin Xiao out.
Lin Xiao stared in shock at the dazzling array of handicrafts, then turned to Lin Qixia: "You made all of these?"
"Of course~" Lin Qixia nodded, then went over to help him: "How about trying out this wheelchair?"
As He Zhilan helped Lin Xiao up, she exclaimed in surprise, "I've never seen many of these things before, like this wheelchair, it looks really strange..."
"Although it looks strange, it's very convenient to use. You'll see in a bit!" Lin Qixia said to them.
As she spoke, she helped Lin Xiao to sit down in his wheelchair.
"Use your hands to push the wheels, and it will move by itself," Lin Qixia told him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao placed his hands on the wheels on both sides and pushed hard, and sure enough, it moved.
The wheels themselves were very flexible, and Lin Xiao looked at Lin Qixia in surprise.
"How about that? Aren't I good? I even installed a handle at the back, so if you get tired of pushing, just let your sister-in-law push you, saving her the trouble of helping you." Lin Qixia's smile was bright. "Big brother, you should train hard from now on and try to get better soon!"
