Chapter 47

Shen Qingli nodded. “I want to go for a walk in the mountains. It’s not convenient to bring Niuniu and Gou Wa with me. They can take Da Huang for a walk at the foot of the mountain, or they can stay at home.”

“I’ll take Xiao Hei with me, don’t worry.”

Shen Qingli held Zhou Yubai’s hand and spoke softly.

Zhou Yubai knew in his heart that Shen Qingli was not only stronger now, but there might be some changes that he had never seen, but she didn’t say it.

“Yubai.” Shen Qingli shook Zhou Yubai’s hand vigorously. She was talking, but he was distracted?

Could it be that love is gone?

This shouldn’t be the case. Last night…

Shen Qingli’s big eyes were watery and looked like she was about to cry.

Zhou Yubai hurriedly spoke in a gentle voice, “You have to be careful. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains. Although Xiao Hei can hunt, he is still unsure if he will encounter dangerous wild animals. You must not go deep into the mountains.”

“Well, don’t worry, I know what to do. If I don’t come back at noon, you don’t have to worry. I will definitely come back in the evening.” Shen Qingli was a little bit “pressing for an inch”.

Zhou Yubai pursed his thin lips, obviously he was depressed.

Shen Qingli looked back and made sure that Gou Wa and Niu Niu had not come out, then she stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhou Yubai on the face.

“Trust me, I know my limits.”

Zhou Yubai finally nodded sullenly. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then said, “I want to eat the food you cook for lunch.”

After saying that, Zhou Yubai strode away without waiting for Shen Qingli to answer.

Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yubai’s back and chuckled. This man is quite interesting.

He didn’t say that he was worried about her staying in the mountains for too long, but that he wanted to eat the food she cooked.

Shen Qingli shouted at Zhou Yubai’s back, “Okay, I’ll make you something delicious for lunch.”

Zhou Yubai turned around, waved to Shen Qingli, and smiled very gently. His wife was so nice.

After seeing Zhou Yubai off, Shen Qingli immediately carried the basket on her back and told the two little ones that she was going into the mountains.

“I’ll be back before making lunch. Ruirui, you can take Niu Niu to the foot of the mountain or stay at home, but remember to bring Da Huang with you when you go out.” Shen Qingli reminded.

“Okay, Mom, you must be careful when you go up the mountain. Niu Niu and I will pick up some firewood nearby and dig some wild vegetables and bamboo shoots.” Gou Wa said.

Shen Qingli reminded the two little ones not to work too hard before taking Xiao Hei up the mountain.

Walking all the way to the foot of the mountain, we met several groups of children and elderly people who were picking wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Qingli always behaves like this to people she isn’t familiar with: if you smile at me, I’ll smile at you; if you ignore me, I’ll ignore you.

She was unfamiliar with most of the people in the village.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they met the only female comrade Shen Qingli was familiar with, Comrade Sun Xiuli, the captain’s wife.

“Aunt, are you going up the mountain too?” Shen Qingli asked.

“Qingli, are you okay?” Sun Xiuli asked with concern.

“I have indeed been feeling unwell recently, so I went up the mountain to pick some herbs.” Shen Qingli explained. She was always mindful not to let others think that she was in good health.

“You still need to be careful. Why don’t you wait until Yu Bai has a rest before going with you?” Sun Xiuli asked.

“I’ll take Xiao Hei with me. It can help me. I won’t go far. It’s okay.” Shen Qingli smiled softly and looked very well-behaved.

The more Sun Xiuli looked at her, the more she liked her, so she just followed Shen Qingli.

She came to collect grass for the pigs, pick some wild vegetables, and collect some firewood.

It’s not as busy as farming recently, so she has time to do some housework.

The two of them walked along the way, and Sun Xiuli kept talking all the way. She was very talkative.

“You don’t know that two big things happened yesterday. One was that your family bought a bicycle, which caused a sensation in the whole village. The other thing, ah.” Sun Xiuli sighed heavily.

“What happened?” Shen Qingli asked.

“That idiot is Zhuzi. He fell down and hit his head on a rock. Doctor Zhang examined him and said he’s not sure when he will wake up. You mentioned wife Zhang, Zhuzi’s mother. She was already pitiful enough, and now all of a sudden, she has lost all her energy and spirit.” Sun Xiuli sighed.

When she found out about Zhuzi’s accident yesterday, she went to Mrs. Zhang’s house. As a result, the whole family hung their heads, and Mrs. Zhang couldn’t stop crying, saying that it was all her fault.

“Poor Zhuzi, his grandmother wants to leave a descendant for Zhuzi, so she has asked a matchmaker to look for someone who is willing to marry her daughter to Zhuzi. His family will give a dowry of ten yuan.” Sun Xiuli said, and couldn’t help sighing twice.

“Zhuzi was also very clever when he was young. What a pity! If his brain hadn’t been damaged, Zhuzi would have been handsome. The Zhang family is a well-off family, so it would not be difficult for Zhuzi to find a wife.”

“Alas, misfortune favors the unfortunate.”

Sun Xiuli said a lot at once.

“Aunt, are all the people in Zhuzi’s family honest and decent?” Shen Qingli asked.

When she was listening to what Sun Xiuli said, she felt some sympathy for Zhuzi’s family. If they were honest people and would not make trouble, she could help them. Although she could not guarantee that Zhuzi could be cured, she was sure that he would wake up.

“Yes, their family has never quarreled with anyone. They are down-to-earth and hardworking, and never cheat or play tricks.” Sun Xiuli looked at Shen Qingli, and felt that this little girl seemed to have some ideas. “What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly ask this?”

“Aunt, we get along well so I told you that I actually know medical skills,” said Shen Qingli.

Sun Xiuli was stunned. The first thought in her mind was that you know medical skills. Are you in such poor health?

Shen Qingli naturally understood Sun Xiuli’s thoughts and whispered, “I’m different from others. I was born with a deficiency. If I hadn’t taken care of myself over the years, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have lived to adulthood.”

Sun Xiuli patted Shen Qingli’s hand distressedly, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, Qingli, Dr. Zhang can’t help Zhuzi’s condition, can you do it?”

“I haven’t seen Zhuzi’s specific condition. From your description, it shouldn’t be a big problem if he wakes up, but we need to see if he can recover to normal.” Shen Qingli said truthfully.

“What, the pillar may be able to return to normal?” Sun Xiuli’s voice became much higher in shock.

Shen Qingli hurriedly pulled Sun Xiuli’s arm, “Auntie, please keep your voice down.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is too unexpected.” Sun Xiuli lowered her voice, “What do you think? Just tell your aunt directly.”

“I believe in your judgment of people. Please ask Zhuzi’s mother if she is willing to let me try. If she is willing, please let me know and I will go to see her at night. But I don’t want too many people to know that I have medical skills. I really can’t bear to see patients with my body.”

“If I hadn’t heard you talk about Zhuzi’s situation and you said they were good people, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.”

Shen Qingli expressed her trust in Sun Xiuli clearly in just a few words.

Sun Xiuli was touched. She held Shen Qingli’s hand and said, “Good child, good child. I will go and tell Zhuzi’s mother that you should be careful in the mountains.”

Sun Xiuli said and walked towards the village…
