Li Mingqing dug from morning till evening before he finally dug out the ginseng intact.
Fortunately, he had mosquito repellent, otherwise he would have been bitten to death.
He was so focused on digging ginseng that he didn't notice that it was getting late.
Sun Jiaxue was frantic at home.
He hasn't come back for a whole day. I'm afraid something happened to him in the mountains.
"Mom, Brother Mingqing has gone to the mountains and hasn't come back yet. Go look for him."
Seeing her crying breathlessly, Old Lady Li comforted her, "It's still early. Nothing will happen in broad daylight."
Although I said that, I was still very worried.
"Jiaxue, you wait for news at home. Mingli and I will go to the mountains to look for Mingqing."
"Mom, why don't I go with you?"
"You have to stay at home. Mingqing will be worried if he comes back and finds no one at home."
Sun Jiaxue had no choice but to stay at home.
All the people in Old Li's family went to the mountain to look for Li Mingqing.
Soon everyone in the village knew about this. Most people were extremely worried and even followed Lao Li's family to the mountain to help.
There were also a few people who gloated and wished that something really happened to Li Mingqing.
"It's better to die outside so as not to be an eyesore."
"Last time he went up the mountain, he fell and became a vegetable. This time he got into trouble again. It seems like they both want to die."
"I've done too many bad things."
"This is it. Everyone in the village has been to the back mountain. Why did he get into trouble? Evildoers will be punished by heaven."
Dazhu Niang and Zhang Cuihua wished they could see Li Mingqing's miserable condition with their own eyes.
Village chief, team leader, Zhao Hongbin, Zhang Chunya, Li Tiezhu...
Many people stopped what they were doing and went up the mountain.
As soon as Li Mingqing came down the mountain, he saw people from the old Li family coming towards him in a hurry with worried looks on their faces.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief to see that he was okay.
Old Lady Li walked up to him and slapped him on the back.
"You little brat, why aren't you home so late? Is nothing wrong?"
Li Mingqing looked down at the mud all over his body and said:
"It's okay, I just fell down."
"Your wife is going crazy at home. It's really scary. Don't go up the mountain alone next time."
"What if something really happens to Jiaxue and the child?"
"It's dangerous in the mountains. There are wolves, tigers and leopards. It would be really terrible if we encountered them."
The people in Old Li's family surrounded him and talked non-stop.
He didn't stop it because it was for his own good and he was really worried about him.
Halfway through, I saw the village chief coming with a dozen strong men from the village.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Mingqing return safely.
Li Mingqing was touched. He didn't expect that everyone would come to help find him. This kind of friendship is really rare.
Sun Jiaxue was waiting anxiously at the door.
Zhang Cuihua said shamelessly, "How pitiful! She's going to be a widow at such a young age."
"Yes, she's pregnant. I think the Li family will definitely kick her out and take over the house."
“Even jobs can’t be saved.”
“Poor thing.”
Li Xiaolan supported Sun Jiaxue and said, "Good luck will come to those who are lucky. Everything will be fine."
Hong Bin's mother scolded, "You wicked bastards! Ming Qing helped you before and treated your illnesses, but now you're repaying kindness with hatred. God is watching over you. You should practice some good deeds at your age."
"My mouth is on my body, I can say whatever I want."
Sun Jiaxue's eyes were red as she said, "Brother Mingqing will be fine. How can you say that as an elder? Everyone is subject to misfortunes at any time. Even if something happens to you, Brother Mingqing will be fine."
"I've never seen such a sharp tongue in someone like you. No wonder that guy is so obsessed with her."
She was about to curse a few more times when she saw Li Mingqing coming back safe and sound.
Sun Jiaxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him.
When Li Mingqing saw Sun Jiaxue's red eyes, he knew she was very worried.
"Wife, I'm sorry to have made you worry."
She smiled tearfully and said, "I'm glad you're back. Are you hurt anywhere?"
"I wasn't hurt, I just fell down."
He turned to his fellow villagers and said, "I'm sorry to bother you all today. I will always remember this friendship."
"That's too formal. The village has received a lot of benefits from you."
"Yes, your medical skills have helped many villagers."
Others responded one after another.
Lijia Village is indeed indebted to Li Mingqing for a lot.
After Li Ming finished washing his face, he saw Sun Jiaxue bringing out a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
"My wife's cooking skills are really good. It smells really good."
"You must be starving. You haven't eaten for a whole day. Remember to come back on time next time."
"I was wrong this time, I won't do that again next time."
Sun Jiaxue took his hand and said, "Okay, be careful. My child and I are waiting for you at home."
He was relieved only after he took her pulse and found it was stable and there was no problem.
He was afraid that what happened during the day would scare her, after all, she was pregnant.
"Wife, let's steam two pots of steamed buns later to thank the villagers."
"Okay, I'll go make the dough right away."
The next day, Li Mingqing got up very early.
He was carrying a large basket filled with steamed buns.
"Mom, do you remember the people who came to help yesterday? Go and distribute the steamed buns."
"I've got it all in mind. I'll go with you."
The person who received the steamed bun was flattered. He couldn't remember when he had eaten such a big white flour steamed bun.
Not one but two big white steamed buns per family.
It can be seen that the Li family is truly grateful.
Those who didn't go to help were jealous. If they had known they would have gone, they would have just gone and not contributed much.
