Chapter 8 A furious beating of Liu Cuihua
Chapter 8 A furious beating of Liu Cuihua
After successfully administering the IV drip to Lin Yunlan, Lu Qingqing turned and left the space.
I went to take a look at the children.
The children were all sleeping soundly, their little faces bearing contented smiles even in their dreams.
Lu Qingqing gently tucked the blankets around the children.
Then he quietly returned to the space.
Lu Qingqing, back in her space, did not rest.
She thought about the condition of her body.
She immediately prepared some antidote for herself so that she could recover faster.
She skillfully prepared the medicine and equipment, and soon started an IV drip for herself as well.
About two hours later, Lu Qingqing checked the time.
Both she and Lin Yunlan had almost finished their medications.
She carefully removed the needle from her hand and did some simple treatment.
Then she walked over to Lin Yunlan and gently removed the needle from his hand.
Then, Lu Qingqing took a deep breath and concentrated on using the power of space.
Lin Yunlan was moved from the spatial dimension to the original bed.
After Lu Qingqing finished all these things,
I felt like my whole body was falling apart, and I was exhausted.
She was also a little tired after a day of running around.
She looked around the room and found there were only two beds.
One photo shows Lin Yunlan lying down, and the other shows four children sleeping.
Lu Qingqing shook her head helplessly, then lay down next to her living-dead husband.
Perhaps she was exhausted from the day, for she soon drifted off to sleep.
The silence in the room was broken only by the continuous crowing of roosters from the village.
Lu Qingqing gradually woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes.
He turned and glanced at the children; they were still asleep.
Lu Qingqing got out of bed quietly, having already made up her mind.
She is now penniless and has to stand up for herself.
We have to make sure we and the children have enough to eat.
Yesterday she discovered that there was a large mountain not far from her home.
So she decided to go into the mountains right now. There's an old saying: "Those who live near the mountains live off the mountains; those who live near the water live off the water."
She's starting to live off the land she lives off today.
Then, Lu Qingqing walked out of the room, went straight to the courtyard, grabbed a basket, and carried it on her back.
With light steps, she followed the original owner's memories and headed down the mountain.
Before dawn, Lu Qingqing walked along a country lane.
We occasionally encountered a few early-rising villagers along the way.
Lu Qingqing greeted them politely with a smile.
The villagers responded warmly, which made her even happier.
As Lu Qingqing walked, her thoughts raced, and she was overjoyed.
She couldn't help but recall the saying, "Those who live near the mountain live off the mountain."
In modern times, most mountains have been developed by people, so you can hardly find such pristine natural beauty anymore.
But these ancient mountains have not been explored much.
I wonder if I can find any rare plants or herbs.
Filled with anticipation and curiosity, Lu Qingqing quickened her pace.
She followed the path step by step into the mountains, her gaze sweeping briefly over her surroundings.
However, the outer perimeter of the mountain appears to have been thoroughly looted.
Apart from some common wildflowers and weeds, I didn't see anything of value.
Lu Qingqing walked deeper into the mountains.
Along the way, she nimbly set up several small traps.
He thought to himself, "If I could catch a pheasant or a rabbit, that would be wonderful."
Lu Qingqing seemed tireless, continuing to walk forward.
Suddenly, she saw the herbs she recognized.
The slender leaves swayed gently in the breeze; what else could this be but Bupleurum chinense?
Lu Qingqing was very happy and soon put the Bupleurum chinense into her basket.
At this moment, the system's voice rang out: "Congratulations, host, the system supermarket has been activated."
Finding Bupleurum increases your ability by 15 points; once you reach a certain number of points...
You can then exchange items of the corresponding value in the system's supermarket.
Lu Qingqing was surprised; could it really be done like that?
She asked, "Xiaodou, what can I redeem with 15 points?"
System Bean replied, "Host, you can check out the system supermarket!"
Seeing that no one was around, Lu Qingqing turned and entered the space. And indeed, it was true.
A huge supermarket had appeared in the space, filled with everything imaginable: food, household goods, clothes, and personal items.
Lu Qingqing checked and found that 15 points could be exchanged for products worth approximately 15 yuan.
In other words, one point equals one yuan. Lu Qingqing wondered, how am I going to use these points?
System Bean: "Host, therefore you must strive to improve your current life."
Only then can you accumulate more points to redeem!
Lu Qingqing pouted, resignedly thinking, "Fine then."
Lu Qingqing left the space and continued searching for herbs.
A little while later, she discovered motherwort, which emitted a unique, refreshing fragrance.
This medicine is most suitable for women. Lu Qingqing kept walking forward.
Finally, she discovered the precious Dendrobium officinale, which delighted her.
With this basket of herbs, I wonder if I can exchange it for some money to help supplement our impoverished life.
Lu Qingqing earned a total of 125 system points today, with 90 points coming from Dendrobium alone.
Lu Qingqing quickly calculated in her mind what price these herbs would fetch in ancient times.
But she knew that this trip into the mountains had been quite fruitful.
She carefully placed the herbs into her basket.
Lu Qingqing glanced at the sky; it was already broad daylight.
Her basket was already full of herbs, and she thought she'd stop here for today and come back another day.
I wonder if the kids in the family are awake yet.
She had to hurry back; there were only two cartons of milk and two pieces of bread left in the storage space.
She needed to prepare breakfast for the children, so Lu Qingqing, carrying a basket of herbs on her back, started walking back.
Perhaps I was lucky today, as I passed a patch of grass,
She actually caught a lively little rabbit.
The little rabbit struggled in her hands, and Lu Qingqing smiled and gently comforted it.
As she walked, she unexpectedly discovered a nest of wild eggs.
The tiny eggs lay quietly in the grass nest.
It was as if it was waiting for her to discover it.
She happily and carefully placed the wild eggs one by one into the herbs.
She counted them; there were eight in total.
If the children eat one a day, it will be enough for four children for two days.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing was in an extremely joyful mood, and her steps became lighter.
Thinking of getting back quickly, I thought I could use the wild eggs to make steamed egg custard for the children.
Before Lu Qingqing even reached her doorstep, she could hear the heart-wrenching cries of several children from afar.
Her heart tightened, and she quickened her pace, rushing into the yard. "What's wrong? Why are you crying like that?" she asked anxiously.
The children were sobbing and could barely speak.
Lu Qingqing patiently coaxed her, and only after asking did she learn that it was her aunt Liu Cuihua who had frostbitten her.
Lu Qingqing suppressed her anger and asked for the reason.
It turned out that Liu Cuihua was not letting the children eat.
They even rudely made them do the work.
They were also hurling vulgar curses at their father, wishing him an early death.
They even maliciously told them that Lu Qingqing had run away and didn't want them anymore.
Shuang'er cried and argued that her mother hadn't left, but her aunt Liu Cuihua beat her.
Lu Qingqing put the basket into the house with a gloomy expression.
She handed the rabbit back to Stone, saying, "Mother will avenge you."
He then turned around and walked straight toward Liu Cuihua's house.
"Liu Cuihua, get out here right now!" Lu Qingqing shouted from the doorway.
Hearing Lu Qingqing's shouts, Liu Cuihua ignored them and reluctantly came out.
He was still muttering under his breath: "What are you yelling about so early in the morning, you idiot?"
Funeral...
"Ah, Lu Qingqing, how dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?"
Before Liu Cuihua could finish her rant, Lu Qingqing raised her hand and slapped Liu Cuihua twice across the face.
Two sharp "smacks" rang out, making Liu Cuihua see stars and leaving her completely stunned.
The children around were also stunned by this scene.
They had just been crying loudly, but now they stopped abruptly.
She just stood there, stunned, sobbing softly.
Because they simply couldn't believe that Lu Qingqing would actually go and stand up for them.
He even hit his aunt.
