After putting the herbs away, Lin Lao Er thought of something else: "By the way, did you know that the Chen family has been arguing about splitting up these days?"
Qin Zhao frowned: "Separation?"
"Yes." Lin Lao Er sighed, "Old Lady Chen suffered a stroke years ago and has been bedridden ever since. We've hired several doctors, but none of them could help. The Chen family is a wealthy family in Linxi Village, and those younger generations have long been eyeing the family property, just waiting to see Old Lady Chen die."
Um?
What does this have to do with Qin Zhao?
Jing Li was confused when he heard Lin Lao Er say, "You rented this room from Old Lady Chen. They want to split up the family business, so I'm afraid you might also..."
"Anyway, you should pay more attention these days."
Qin Zhao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then thanked him: "I understand. Thanks for the reminder."
Lin Laoer was in a hurry to go home and didn't stay long.
Jing Li waited until he left before sticking his head out to look around the room.
As seen from the outside, the room is very simply furnished and you can see everything at a glance.
This is a small earthen house with two rooms. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the table where he is sitting and two chairs. Apart from that, there are only a few storage cabinets in the corner of the wall.
The right side of the door leads to the stove, next to which are several small medicine jars. On the left is an even smaller room with no door, only a curtain hanging to block the view.
It should be the bedroom.
The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, the same as the smell on Qin Zhao's body, very pleasant.
Qin Zhao was standing by the stove with his back to Jing Li, bending down to open the herbs he had just bought.
He didn't buy a complete prescription from the clinic, but several loose herbs. Qin Zhao skillfully sorted and prepared the herbs, quickly dividing them into several small portions and repackaging them.
He poured one of them into the medicine jar and soaked it in water. After doing this, he opened the big pot on the stove.
The aroma of food wafted over.
Jing Li instantly heard the rumbling sound in his stomach.
He had been in this world for three days and hadn't eaten anything.
It's not that there's no food. He'd been drifting down the stream for the past few days. For fish, the aquatic plants, shrimps, and insects in the river could all be eaten.
But Jing Li's soul is still a human being after all, and he really can't convince himself to eat those things.
Therefore, he had been hungry for several days.
Jing Li looked at Qin Zhao eagerly as he picked up a piece of golden pancake and sat down at the table. He wagged his tail vigorously, and some water splashed onto the table.
Qin Zhao asked, "You want one too?"
Jingli's tail wagged even more happily.
Qin Zhao: "I gave you everything. What should I eat?"
Jing Li paused.
Yes, Qin Zhao was a stranger with no one to rely on, and living in a place like this, his family definitely didn't have much to eat. They might even have trouble feeding themselves, so how could they have anything left to share with him?
It was already a great fortune for him to be rescued, and he couldn't be so greedy anymore.
But... I'm really hungry...
The little koi's mood visibly dropped.
Qin Zhao tilted his head to look at the little koi in the barrel and found it quite interesting.
He had sensed something was amiss with the fish from the moment he encountered it. Fleeing in fear of being slaughtered, seeking help, was something a normal fish wouldn't do. Furthermore, throughout their journey, the fish had clearly understood human speech and interacted with him.
