Two days later, in the early morning, a refreshing spring breeze caressed his face.

"Mu, can you really go alone?"

Yang Lili hugged her little Ran and looked worriedly at Qimu.

"Sure, Mom. It's not like I haven't been there before, so don't worry. I'll be back in the afternoon."

Qimu's eyes were brimming with joy as she organized the things in the big basket. It was the Gynostemma that she yearned for in her heart, and she hurriedly dried it in the open space in front of her house during these two days while she was at home.

There were also two little guys, Yangyang and Ran, who helped a lot, especially Yangyang. He looked more serious than anyone else, just like a young adult.

He probably said it himself: "Sister, after you've finished drying this grass, take it to the town to sell it. Then, you'll buy the candied fruits for Yangyang and Ran. You even need to buy meat."

That guy couldn't stand hearing it anymore. He asked her a few times, then went outside and hopped for a while before sneaking back. His eyebrows were jumping and his eyes were dancing.

Qimu broke out in laughter as she thought about it. Carrying the basket on her back, she said,

"Alright, I've made myself clear. Mother, I'm leaving now. Yangyang, Ran, be good and wait for sister to come back."

"Wait, Mu, take this money, we can use it in the town."

Yang Lili held onto Qimu's sleeve and forcefully gave her a small purse. Her expression clearly showed that she could not refuse. She was truly worried that this child had suffered some sort of injustice in the town. Having money would at least make him feel better.

Qimu glanced at it and knew that it was Doctor Faang who gave it to him, probably the leftover from his dad buying the medicine. Qimu looked at it and knew that it was Doctor Faang who gave it to him.

Qimu pushed the bag back and quickly trotted away from Yang Lili. When they were a bit far from the room, she shouted,

"Wait for me to come back."

When they saw the house from afar, they all waved at her. Yangyang called out "Big Sister, Big Sister" again and again. Qimu smiled and took one last look at her home before turning around and walking quickly towards the road outside the village.

The Ye Family was on the west side and the village entrance was on the east side of the Niu Village. Thus, Qimu also walked for a while.

"Doctor Faang!"

She had just arrived at the village entrance, but before she could take a step forward, she saw Doctor Faang sitting on a tree stump at the village entrance. He was holding a wine bowl in his hand and was sipping on a "burning knife" as he stared at the only path that led outside of the village.

"Ah, it's Mu."

Doctor Faang also did not care much. He casually glanced at Qimu and stopped looking at her. He just stared at the road in front of him without saying anything. His cheeks were slightly red. He looked a little drunk, very different from the Doctor Faang Qimu had seen the other day.

"Doctor Faang, do you want to go out and take a look?"

On the other hand, Qimu took the initiative to ask, she had some doubts in her heart that kept bothering her. Looking at Doctor Faang's appearance, it was obvious that he was being held back by something, so why did he make it difficult for himself to remain in this small Niu Village?

It was a strange thing to have a doctor in a remote and poor corner of the mountain all year round.

"I do …" No, don't want to... Can't... I have to keep watch... I have to keep watch... "Bloodline …"

"Lifetime...

He didn't look at Qimu. It was as if he was talking to himself, but also trying to convince himself. His dark eyes were clouded with sadness and the vicissitudes of life were indescribable.

Qimu sighed when she saw Doctor Faang acting like this and said in a low voice:

"Are you drunk? A doctor can make you drunk. This Doctor Faang doesn't pass. I wonder if you have anything to do with Yang Lili. Sigh …"

Qimu's voice was very low, but Doctor Faang seemed to be especially concerned with the three words "Yang Lili". When he heard it, his hand trembled, and his wine bowl fell to the ground.

But he didn't expect that his big hand would directly grab onto Qimu's delicate neck. His face distorted like a ferocious demon that had crawled out of hell as he viciously said,

"What are you trying to do!"

"What are you trying to do to her!"

Qimu was frightened stiff for a moment. Her small hands pulled at the big hand that was pinching her lifeline. Her face was red as she stuck out her tongue. After a while, she said with great effort:

"Fang..." Large... Husband... I... "Qimu …"

"It's Mu."

Doctor Faang seemed to have finally seen Qimu's face clearly. He finally let go and retreated a few steps as if he was frightened, with his back slightly hunched.

Qimu sat limply on the ground. After a moment of relaxation, her gaze became firm. With a slight curve to her lips, she said calmly:

"What is the relationship between you and my mother?"

Doctor Faang looked deeply at Qimu. There seemed to be something that was about to break out of the ground, but it was suppressed by a powerful force, making it impossible for him to see the light of day.

"If you don't want to tell me, then I'll ask my mother. Maybe she doesn't know …"

Qimu calmly stood up and continued talking as if she was talking to Doctor Faang about the dishes that tasted better. She knew Yang Lili didn't know, but it was related to her family, her family, but she, Qimu, had to know.

"However, from the moment she was born, if I were to carefully sort out some of the events that happened, I should be able to get a general idea of what happened, right?"

This was the meaning of a threat.

Doctor Faang raised his head slightly and started to look Qimu up and down without any hesitation. Qimu did not show any signs of weakness and looked back with a smile. The two of them stayed deadlocked for a while and finally ended up with Doctor Faang lowering his head.

"Whatever, you're already old. Come find me in the middle of the night or early in the morning. I'll tell you, just don't ask your mother."

Don't let her think about it. Don't let her be sad again.

"Alright."

Qimu looked at Doctor Faang who left without turning back. Her back was depressed as she thought to herself, "Sorry, sorry, but she can't tolerate it. Outsiders eyeing her house with hostility, even Doctor Faang, who owed her a favor, can't."

Qimu won this silent battle, but her heart was not as happy as when she first left the house. She knew very well the reason why she let Doctor Faang go. She also knew that Doctor Faang had no ill intentions and was even helping them.

His sister had just come back, so he wasn't familiar with her family. If he couldn't cause trouble now, she would be in trouble, but his brother just so happened to be at the age to study, so he needed money to support him. It was best for his cheap mom not to work too hard anymore, her body needed to be taken care of, and she needed money …

On the outside, it looked like the branch family could still be considered passable, but in reality, their foundation was very thin and their insides were extremely fragile, unable to withstand any sort of wind or rain.

Everything was wrong. Even if she had done something evil, she would kill it all …

Sorry.

Just like Doctor Faang, Qimu did not turn back either. Step by step, she walked towards a small town that she had never been to before. There was hope for her home there.

Thinking about the Gynostemma in the basket, Qimu Wu's misty mood lit up and flashed past, giving her the power to move forward.

According to the modern price, one catty for a wild Gynostemma would be around four hundred yuan. If the Gynostemma was sold out, she could probably get sixteen thousand yuan and two hundred yuan each.

How could this be counted in ancient times?

Qimu walked as she thought about it. Joy flowed between her brows, and her smile was sweet and beautiful.
