A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 24 Preparing for the Mountain Trip

There was only one small window in the room, so the light coming in was limited and the room was somewhat dim.

After a while, Qin Yingxue noticed two beds in the corner, which should belong to Old Wu and her four younger sisters.

Old Mrs. Wu had a damp towel on her forehead and was lying on the bed with her eyes closed; it was unclear whether she was asleep or not.

Qin Yingxue approached, reached out and touched it, and found it burning hot. She immediately went to find Qin Jiasheng, but was grabbed by a hand.

Feeling the other person's burning palm, Qin Yingxue hurriedly turned her head: "Grandma, you're awake! You have a fever. I'll talk to my dad and ask him to take you to the hospital."

"I won't die!" Old Mrs. Wu struggled to sit up in bed.

Qin Yingxue quickly reached out to help her up, then placed a somewhat hard pillow behind her back.

Seeing Qin Yingxue's thoughtful and considerate side, Old Madam Wu sighed with admiration, "You're a good person. I knew it the moment I saw you. That girl, even after raising her for over ten years, she still can't be tamed..."

Jiang Linlin?

Qin Yingxue didn't know what to say, so she could only advise, "Grandma, you're not feeling well, you should go to the hospital! If you don't want my dad to know, I'll take you to the hospital..."

"No need, I'm much better." Old Mrs. Wu shook her head, her face full of stubbornness.

Qin Yingxue had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go get some water. Drinking more hot water will make you feel better."

After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen despite Old Wu's attempts to stop her.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Qin Yingxue quickly opened the Douyin store.

Analgin cannot be given to Old Wu anymore. Otherwise, if you suddenly take it out, Old Wu, being an old and shrewd woman, will definitely become suspicious.

Ibuprofen won't work either, since it's a capsule, and if it's discovered, it'll be even harder to explain.

Qin Yingxue could only buy a piece of ginger from the mall, boil it in water, add brown sugar, pour it into a bowl, add a few drops of spiritual spring water, and take it into the house.

Pandi stayed by Old Wu's side the whole time. When she saw Qin Yingxue return, her eyes lit up and her expression became more lively on her dusty little face.

Old Wu was delirious from the fever. Qin Yingxue asked Pandi to find a clean cloth, place it under Old Wu's chin, and feed her spoonful by spoonful of soup.

After drinking a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water, Qin Yingxue began to massage Old Wu's acupoints.

This was because in her previous life she studied under an old Chinese medicine doctor.

Later, her health deteriorated, and she sought out renowned doctors everywhere for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, and both medicinal diets and acupuncture helped Qin Yingxue reduce a lot of her pain.

The fever subsided after the other three sisters returned.

Qin Yingxue told them to take good care of the children before taking the empty basket home.

The Qin family had returned and learned that Qin Yingxue had gone to the old house. Zhou Lanhua hurriedly went out to look for Qin Dahe.

When Qin Dahe woke up, he couldn't find Qin Yingxue anywhere. Instead, he saw the kitchen filled with steamers full of buns. He hurriedly went out to look for her.

He had no idea where Qin Yingxue had gone, so he could only search around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang continued to help Qian Xiaofeng deliver loaches to the county town.

Although Qin Village purchased far less, several nearby villages still sent a considerable amount, so people were still needed to transport the goods.

Qian Xiaofeng gave each person a dollar as a service fee each time.

Such a good job is something that ordinary people can't even get.

Upon learning that Old Wu was ill, Qin Jiasheng and Li Hehua, without even having a meal, gathered half a pound of brown sugar and ten eggs and rushed to the old house.

Only Qin Yingxue and Fang Xiaoye were left at home; Que'er and Xiao Tangyuan had already eaten and fallen asleep.

Zhou Lanhua ran into Qin Dahe halfway there. After learning that Qin Yingxue had gone to the old house, Qin Dahe breathed a sigh of relief.

When he learned that Qin Yingxue was missing, his first reaction was that he was afraid she had gone to the deep mountains.

I rushed halfway there, but then I felt something was wrong and ran back.

When he rushed home, Qin Jiasheng and Li Hehua, who had gone to visit Old Wu at the old house, also returned.

"How is Grandma?" Qin Dahe asked with concern, having already learned about Old Wu's illness.

“Much better. When we went there, Zhao Di fed your grandmother half a bowl of porridge. Your grandmother told me to tell you not to worry about her.” Li Hehua’s last words were to Qin Yingxue.

Qin Yingxue nodded.

The family finished their meal in silence. Even the steamed buns made of white flour were unappetizing because Old Wu was sick.

After finishing her meal, Qin Yingxue went back to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, she saw Qin Dahe sneaking towards her.

"Third Brother..." Qin Yingxue had just begun to speak.

Qin Dahe quickly gave her a wink.

Qin Yingxue shut up and watched Qin Dahe close the door like a thief, looking at him speechlessly.

"Little sister, do you want to go to the deep mountains?" Qin Dahe asked in a low voice.

Qin Dahe could never forget the panic he felt when he learned that Qin Yingxue was missing.

Qin Yingxue gave Qin Dahe a deep look.

I didn't expect her third brother to be so perceptive.

Seeing that Qin Yingxue remained silent, Qin Dahe became anxious: "If you want to go, I can take you, but you absolutely cannot go alone. It's dark and gloomy inside, the weeds are taller than a person, and there aren't even any paths. If I don't lead the way, you'll definitely get lost and won't be able to find your way out, not to mention the wild animals inside, they really will eat people..."

"Third Brother, you're overthinking it!" Qin Yingxue said, trying to calm Qin Dahe down when she saw he was genuinely worried. "Why would I go to such a dangerous place? Do you think I really don't want to live?"

"You're not lying to me?" Qin Dahe looked at her with a face full of suspicion.

"No," Qin Yingxue said earnestly.

"Then swear it!" Qin Dahe remained skeptical.

Qin Yingxue laughed in exasperation: "Third brother, don't be so childish, okay? If you don't believe me, no matter what I say, you won't believe me."

"I'll believe you if you swear it," Qin Dahe said stubbornly.

"Okay, I swear!" Qin Yingxue had no choice but to compromise. "I didn't intend to go into the deep mountains, and I won't let Third Brother worry, alright?"

I'm going to the deep mountains; there's no need to even think about it.

It would be a waste not to make good use of such a powerful ability.

Qin Dahe breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone softened: "I told you, if you really want to go, I'll take you to catch some pheasants or rabbits, so you can have a taste."

"Okay, I'll tell Third Brother when I want to eat it," Qin Yingxue said readily.

Qin Dahe was relieved and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

After closing the door, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Qin Yingxue immediately opened the online store to prepare for her nighttime exploration of the deep mountains.

There is already a microwave detector in the space. It can detect not only gold and jewelry, but also precious medicinal herbs, and it will also issue a warning when there is danger.

Qin Yingxue is buying an all-purpose protective suit this time. It can not only protect against poison, fire, water, and wind, but most importantly, it can also protect against the bites and attacks of wild animals. It is as flexible as silk and will not be damaged.

With protection in place, all that's left is weaponry.

Last time Tian Xiaohua attacked Qin Yingxue in the middle of the night, Qin Yingxue hurriedly bought a dagger.

Even the most ordinary items in the mall are extraordinary; they can cut through iron like mud, and even wind and water are no problem.

However, daggers can only be used at close range. If you encounter large wild beasts, you will need larger weapons that can be used at a distance.
