Not long after Cheng Liguo took the health pills, he went to the toilet again. When he came out this time, his complexion was much better.
Because Ye Jun often prepares some health-preserving medicinal foods for himself, after taking the health-preserving pills, apart from feeling warm all over the body, there was no other unusual feeling.
"Qiao girl, don't let others eat this kind of food casually."
"Well, I know that except for my mother-in-law, Li Huan, Xuhui's grandmother, you and my father, no one else has given it."
Ye Jun nodded, and suddenly thought of his cousin in Huizhou, and couldn't help but say:
"Make some more when you have time and send some to Ye Chengying. I'll write a letter and put it inside. But this time I'm going to take the credit for it and say that I made it."
Cheng Qiao understood that this was the master protecting her. If the master wanted to prepare a health pill, Ye Chengying would definitely not doubt it. After all, he was the eldest son of a medical family, so how could he not have some real skills
"Master, here are thirty health pills, all for you."
A large wooden box instantly appeared in Cheng Qiao's hand. These boxes were all made by Uncle Niu at her request. There were hundreds of them, large and small, which made Uncle Niu very happy, and the workmanship was even more exquisite.
"There is such a beautiful wooden box, it's nice."
"Master, I want to give you a gift, a very valuable gift."
When Ye Jun saw Cheng Qiao's expression suddenly become serious, he couldn't help but look forward to what kind of gift made the little girl so serious.
"Look, this is it."
A small and exquisite ceramic jar appeared in Cheng Qiao's hand. Ye Jun took it and opened the lid of the ceramic jar. An indescribable vitality filled his nose.
Ye Jun's heart skipped a beat and he carefully tilted the ceramic jar. A golden pill about the size of an egg appeared in his hand.
"Qiao girl, you... you... you even made the Soul-Fixing Pill."
Ye Jun was both surprised and delighted. He didn't know how many times he had tried it, and each time it was just a little short of the right temperature. Looking at the dwindling amount of medicinal materials, he finally gave up because he couldn't bear to use them.
"Qiao girl, Master thanks you, thank you for making the Soul-Settling Pill. This is the life's work of our ancestors. I originally thought..."
"Master, due to limited medicinal materials, I only made three pills. One for you, one for my father, and one for me to keep."
Cheng Qiao told Ye Jun about her plan, and Ye Jun nodded repeatedly. Cheng Liguo was determined to go to the Hexi Corridor to plant trees and control sand. That place was close to the Qilian Mountains, and it was hard to tell when they would encounter danger.
As for Cheng Qiao keeping one for herself, that's only natural. She was the one who originally formulated it, so isn't it normal for her to keep one for herself
"Qiao girl, I have to go on duty today. Let's go up the mountain to look for herbs tomorrow. I remember there is a herb called Qilin Resurrection Grass, which grows deep in the mountains and is extremely rare. I wonder if we can find it."
"Well, I'll let the red-headed viper go find it. This way, the danger is much less. By the way, Master, I also captured a Saker Falcon. You can release it when the time comes to let it keep watch for us."
Ye Jun: “…”
He didn't want to talk to this disciple anymore. What kind of divine disciple was he? By the way, he should send the soul-fixing pill he just got to Ye Chengying. At least it would give him a chance to protect Cheng Qiao.
After resting for two days, Cheng Liguo put on the cotton-padded hat and gloves prepared for him by Cheng Qiao, tied bandages on his calves, put on high-top rubber shoes with cotton quilting, and followed Cheng Qiao and the others to the back mountain, carrying a backpack and an axe.
At the foot of the back mountain, a man was also carrying a backpack, digging through the snow, looking for dead branches everywhere, but from time to time he would look up and stare in the direction of Cheng Qiao's house.
When he saw a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar, he knew that Brother Niu had not lied to him. It was indeed his relatives who had come. He just didn't know whether Cheng Liguo still recognized the people from their Zhao family.
"Brother Guoliang, are you okay?"
Cheng Liguo recognized the man in front of him at a glance. He was Zhao Guoliang, the cousin of his eldest brother-in-law Zhao Hui. Although Mr. Zhao had published an announcement in the newspaper that the Zhao family had severed all ties with Zhao Min, Zhao Guoliang had also come to visit Zhao Min.
"Liguo, it's really you. How come your hair is all white? You're only in your forties."
"You have white hair too, we are the same."
"I'm sorry, the Zhao family has finally implicated you."
"Haha, misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune. Although I have been implicated and suffered a lot, the opportunities I have gained are also huge. I don't regret it."
"I have no regrets. I am a real man."
"Cheng Qiao, come here, let me introduce myself. This is your uncle Zhao Guoliang."
"Hello, uncle."
Zhao Guoliang laughed. He always felt that Cheng Qiao looked like someone. Now he finally understood. It turned out that Cheng Qiao looked like his cousin Zhao Min. She was really as stupid as a pig.
"Hello, niece. If Xiaobao and Xiaobei knew they were your cousins, they would definitely be happy. But for the sake of safety, I don't want you to recognize each other now."
Cheng Qiao nodded. Zhao Xiaobao's character was indeed a little impatient. If Qian Longkun hadn't been protecting him, he would have been exposed long ago. The result of being exposed would have been that he and Zhao Xiaobei would have to go to the backyard to accompany their parents.
"Since you are my uncle, come again at this time tomorrow and I will give you some supplies. Now that Li Huan is the village chief, no one should come to embarrass you."
Zhao Guoliang shook his head. The villagers would at most stay away from them but would not bully them. However, it was different for the couple who lived under the same roof.
Zhu Qingde was okay and could do things presentably, but his lover Yuan Mengzhi's mentality had deteriorated, probably because of the sudden change. She was always sarcastic when she saw that her lover was living a better life than her.
If Cheng Qiao continued to provide supplies, this woman might cause trouble. It would be better for him to be obedient and follow them, or even act more poor in front of Yuan Mengzhi.
Cheng Qiao nodded in understanding. Maybe things like rice, flour, oil and grains couldn't be taken out, but malted milk, snacks and some beef jerky could still be provided. If these things were kept in the house and eaten, no one would know.
Cheng Liguo nodded. Xiao Aiqin's physical condition had deteriorated significantly during this period. She would cough and catch a cold whenever she got cold, especially in the middle of the night, and she would cough all the time.
"Cheng Qiao, if it's convenient, could you give your aunt, no, give my wife some cough medicine or fever-reducing medicine?"
Cheng Qiao nodded and agreed to meet here at this time tomorrow. She would then take out two down vests and wear them to keep warm without being easily discovered.
I also had to prepare some food, drinks and medicine. After all, he was my mother's cousin, and we were still connected even if our bones were broken, so I had to take care of him.
