"Qingxi is back!"
" Miss Liu is back!" It was as if something extraordinary had happened, and people rushed to share the news, cheering with excitement.
There was no way around it; after all, Ten Li Pu had produced such an impressive figure.
It was said that the big shots from Provincial Capital wanted to take her as their disciple.
That was Lingjiang Province. What was it like? Wasn't it bustling?
For the villagers of Ten Li Pu, these were unknowns. In any case, it was a place they could hardly reach, a place they could only dream of.
But what about Liu Qingxi? She was chosen by the big shots, which was truly enviable.
There were those who admired her and those who were jealous, including Zhang Erdan's wife Tian. Ever since her family member wasn't selected for the Construction Team, she had been feeling uneasy.
"What's so great about it? Just a Young Lady showing off, isn't she embarrassed? If I were her, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing."
A few people standing with her agreed: "These sycophants, look at them, they would do anything to curry favor."
In their eyes, anyone who treated Liu Qingxi with respect was just a person trying to get by. After all, they were merely flattering others.
However, they forgot that they couldn't even get close to those they wanted to flatter.
Their voices were loud enough that even in the noisy crowd, someone heard them and retaliated: "You lazy women who just want to eat! Aren't you just envious? Look at us making money while you're jealous. Let me tell you, you want to earn but can't!"
"Exactly! This is just sour grapes because you can't have what you want, hahaha!"
Tian and her group were fiercely confronted by several bold women. She wanted to retort but upon seeing the fierce expressions of over ten women glaring at her with hands on their hips, she swallowed her words. Choked up, she rolled her eyes and nearly fainted.
Then, Tian felt a lack of confidence, recalling the places where she had been beaten last time, and now she felt pain: "Well, uh, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Like a rat scurrying away, she quickly left with her head down.
Even if there were just two women, she wouldn't be able to handle them.
As someone who was used to being idle and lazy, how could she possibly match the strength of women who worked in the fields all day? Going head-to-head would only bring her trouble.
Once she reached a deserted area, Tian couldn't help but spit: "Liu Qingxi, you shameless little wretch, why do you take others to make money but not us? You shameless little wretch!"
A trace of inexplicable hatred flashed in her eyes. But why should she? Or why should Liu Qingxi help her for no reason? These thoughts never crossed her mind.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingxi was warmly welcomed by everyone. The noise made her head ache, and finally, Zhang Wuliang noticed her discomfort and stepped in to help: "Everyone, stop crowding around. Qingxi just got back; let her rest. Big Kid, hurry up and eat; we need to get to work."
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving Liu Qingxi feeling overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.
She had intended to take this opportunity to share the special products she brought back from the Provincial Capital with everyone, but with all the commotion, that plan fell through.
Thinking about it, perhaps it was for the best. There was still someone at home; what if they were discovered?
This person was seriously injured, indicating that the enemy was strong. Naturally, she couldn't let her guard down. The more people who knew about it, the more dangerous it became; it could even lead to disaster for herself.
Lost in thought, she secretly patted her chest in relief: "Village Chief, I won't stay long; I have things to do at home. I brought back some gifts from the Provincial Capital; I'll move them over to you later to share with Big Kid."
"Alright! I'll thank you on behalf of Big Kid."
Liu Qingxi waved her hand dismissively: "No need for that. I'll be on my way now."
Sigh, first I need to go to Zhang Wuliang's house. Liu Qingyan has also lost quite a bit. Due to the earthquake, the people are suffering greatly, and the losses are severe. The funds needed for recovery after the quake are enormous, and the cleanup work is still not finished.
Master Zhu's school is temporarily closed for classes; they will only resume enrollment once all the houses are restored to normal. Therefore, Liu Qingyan has been asking the Wen Family to look after things. Liu Qingxi is not at home, and Kid is staying with the Yang Family to accompany the Wen Family.
Early in the morning, news of Liu Qingxi's return reached his ears. Without bothering to wash his face or comb his hair, Kid dashed across the threshold and disappeared like a rabbit.
Only the Wen Family shook their heads and smiled helplessly; after all, he is just a child.
Just as Liu Qingxi was preparing to head to the Yang Family, a figure suddenly bumped into her arms: "Sister, sister, you're back!"
Gently stroking Kid's fluffy head, Liu Qingxi beamed with a smile, blooming like peach blossoms, her fair skin gradually tinged with a hint of pink.
"Have you been studying well at home?"
Liu Qingyan nodded vigorously. Indeed, having not seen his sister for so long made him anxious and restless until he saw Liu Qingxi, which allowed him to relax completely.
"Let's go home; I brought you a gift."
The siblings held hands and walked home together, a lovely scene of sibling harmony.
Opening the large package she brought back, Liu Qingxi took out a box and handed it to Liu Qingyan.
Kid's eyes lit up: "Sister, is this for me?"
This was a fine inkstone. Just by looking at its color and hardness, as well as whether it had faded, one could tell it was quite valuable; it would cost no less than several dozen taels of silver.
"That's right, it's your gift. There's also some clothing."
He took out the items one by one, and especially after seeing the few carefully selected books from Liu Qingxi, his smile became harder to hide.
At that moment, the eastern side room was suddenly opened, and Chunyu hurriedly said, "Sister, that person..."
"What happened to that person?" Liu Qingxi frowned slightly. It was hard to save a life; she didn't want it to end so soon.
"Miss, that person has a fever, but still refuses to call a doctor." Chunyu anxiously paced back and forth. "Sister, what should we do?"
After all, he had a fever. With so many injuries, even though they had treated him with strong liquor, there were still signs of infection without antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medicine.
Liu Qingxi rushed inside and saw the Black-Clad Youth's pale skin stained with an abnormal red. Despite the pain, he didn't make a sound.
Sigh! Forget it; saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Liu Qingxi quickly packed her things and changed into more convenient clothes for traveling. She slung a basket over her back and instructed:
"Summer Lotus, keep an eye on things at home. Use warm water to wipe his forehead, palms, soles, and the bends of his legs. Chunyu, come with me to gather herbs."
Just as she was about to leave, Liu Qingyan tugged at her clothes. "Sister, I want to go with you!"
It was rare for her sister to return from the Provincial Capital; the Kid wanted to stick by her side.
