Chu Jingqiu pointed to the cakes and fruits on the small table and said, "I don't know what you need. I came here in a hurry, so I brought you some food.
When I get back, I'll get you two quilts and some daily necessities, and then I'll find a chance to send them over to you."
Wu Feihong said gratefully, "Thank you, Xiaoqiu. I will ask your grandmother Wu to send the money, bills, and packages to the educated youth center in the future.
We can’t take your things for free, so we’ll have to trouble you to buy them for us if we need anything in the future.”
Ning Wenyuan followed suit and said, "Thank you, Xiaoqiu. I also have some savings. When I had some money before, Lin Yan gave it all to her family.
I have saved some money myself, but Lin Yan doesn't know about it. Please, Mr. He, help me withdraw it when you go back.
I also sent it to Xiaoqiu and asked her to help me buy some daily necessities."
Ning Wenyuan told He Qixian where he hid the money and expressed his gratitude again.
Chu Jingqiu and his grandfather felt that it was about time, so they said goodbye and left the cowshed.
When the two returned to the educated youth site, Li Peilan had not gone to bed yet. She was a little worried about the two of them, so she paced around the house waiting.
"Old He, what's the situation?" Li Peilan asked anxiously.
"Pei Lan, it's okay. We've seen everyone. I'll talk to you later. We'll prepare tomorrow morning and take the bus back in the afternoon." He Qixian patted his wife's shoulder and said.
"Xiao Qiu, it's getting late. Go get some rest first! We can talk tomorrow."
Chu Jingqiu came to the yard, put the dried meat into the space, and entered the space when no one was paying attention.
She put the dried meat into the steamer in the space and then called Jiang Jiang to come to the medicine field.
She found that Jiang Jiang took very good care of the medicinal fields, and Jiang Jiang had expanded the planting of many of these medicinal herbs.
She dug up two ginseng plants and a few large pieces of kudzu root, and Jiang Jiang helped her pick a few large Ganoderma lucidum.
A man and a dog came to the mall, cleaned all the medicinal materials, cut the ginseng and ganoderma into slices and put them in the dryer to dry, then steamed the kudzu root for 30 minutes, put it in the dryer to dry, then ground it into powder, and sieved it to make kudzu root powder.
She put most of the dried meat into a cloth bag, wrapped the ginseng and ganoderma lucidum and put them in a large biscuit box, and put the kudzu powder in a smaller biscuit box.
After finishing these, she walked out of the space and came to Shi Aihong's room. Shi Aihong left the door open for her. She pushed it open and walked in quietly.
"Jingqiu, why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shi Aihong hadn't gone to bed yet and she was still a little excited.
"Go to bed early! Why are you waiting for me? Grandpa and grandma are leaving tomorrow. I just talked to grandpa for a while." Chu Jingqiu replied.
"I can't sleep, you know. I'm very excited now. I finally beat up Du Erleng, and I can feel relieved!" Shi Aihong said excitedly.
"Okay, go to sleep! Let's go watch the fun together tomorrow."
The next day, before dawn, Chu Jingqiu felt like he had only slept for two hours when he was awakened by the noise in the street.
Shi Aihong quickly put on her clothes and kept urging Chu Jingqiu to do the same. The two of them walked into the yard, and Lin Zishan and Zhang Pingping also came out, followed by grandpa and grandma.
They came to the street together and found that many people were running towards the Shannan Brigade, so they followed the crowd.
When they arrived at the small ravine, they found Du Erleng's mother crying and wiping her tears. The village barefoot doctor was giving her a simple bandage. He used a branch to temporarily fix it and then sent her to the town hospital.
After it was fixed, several villagers brought a wooden board from their homes, put Du Erleng on the board, and lifted him out of the ditch.
Several women surrounded Du Erleng's mother to ask about the situation. Du Erleng's mother told them that Du Erleng went to Shannan Brigade to play with friends last night and had not returned home. She was worried, so she asked a few people to look for him. As a result, when they got here, they found Du Erleng shouting for help in the ditch.
When the villagers saw Du Erleng emerging from the ditch, they quickly surrounded him and asked, "Erleng, who made you like this?"
Du Erleng opened his terrified eyes and said, "It wasn't a human, it was a ghost who harmed me like this. You don't know, a giant ghost over four meters tall came out of the cemetery, dressed in white, with a green face and fangs, and a long tongue sticking out. His body swayed and he came to me on his two legs.
Oh, and he was after me. I could feel his tongue almost pulling me into his stomach, ready to eat me. I was so scared I passed out. I don't know how I ended up in the ditch. Maybe he thought I was smelly and unpalatable, so he just threw me in there.
Shi Aihong couldn't hold it back any longer, she covered her mouth tightly, tears came out of her eyes, and her body was shaking.
Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan also had a hard time enduring it, their shoulders shaking constantly. They only dared to laugh out loud when the villagers burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? I'm telling the truth. Why don't you believe me?" Du Erleng was still a little anxious.
Hearing this, Shi Aihong simply sat on the ground, holding her stomach and laughing.
Chu Jingqiu couldn't help laughing. Grandpa and grandma laughed for a while, then grandpa looked at Chu Jingqiu thoughtfully and gave her a warning look.
The fat lady couldn't help herself any longer. She wiped away the tears of laughter and said, "Erleng, you drank too much yesterday and fell down. You can even make up such a story. You should drink less in the future. Smell the alcohol on you. It's been a whole night and it hasn't gone away yet."
Another woman said, "Erleng, you should drink less next time. You've become stupid. If you keep drinking like this, you won't even be able to find a wife. Do you think you'll marry a four-meter-tall female ghost?"
The villagers started laughing again. While laughing, they took turns carrying the wooden board. Du Erleng's brother prepared an ox cart, put the wooden board on the cart, and sent Du Erleng to the hospital in the town.
After returning to the educated youth point, Chu Jingqiu helped her grandparents pack their luggage, and then took out dried meat and medicinal herbs from the cabinet, actually from the space. She put them in her grandfather's bag and told him that these herbs were picked and prepared by herself, so he should not give them to others, but keep them for himself and not be reluctant to eat them. She would mail them to them after he was done.
After packing, Chu Jingqiu pulled his grandfather aside and whispered, "Grandpa, I don't think what happened last night was a coincidence. There must be a hand behind this. As for the purpose, we don't know. We must be more cautious in the future."
"Xiao Qiu, I think so too. We must know the purpose of the mastermind behind this and what he wants to do by framing these painters. Only by finding the common points among these painters can we analyze the real reason behind this.
For now, we can only be on guard. When I return, I'll have your father and mother move to the military compound. I'll be in charge of watching them, and then we'll look for the mastermind."
