Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 103 Escape

An idea flashed through his mind, and Tao Qiuyi was no longer in a hurry to get the key. He walked to Wei Jingyuan, pulled the bench closer and sat down, staring at Wei Jingyuan with his bright eyes.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to look at me like that." Wei Jingyuan felt very uncomfortable being looked at by her.

Tao Qiuyi was not a person who liked to beat around the bush. He raised his hand and pointed at the medical book in Wei Jingyuan's hand.

"I've seen you reading medical books in your spare time several times. You didn't read or study the junior and senior high school textbooks I bought for you. So I wanted to ask you, do you like studying medicine?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

Wei Jingyuan was stunned, not understanding what she meant by asking this.
Seeing him in a daze, Tao Qiuyi thought he needed time to think, so he gave him time to think, leaned back gently, and leaned lazily on the edge of the table.

Looking down at the medical book in his hand, Wei Jingyuan laughed at himself, "I can't say whether I like it or not. I just chose to be a village doctor and I just want to do my job well."

One reason was that he wanted to do things well, and another reason was that his leg was lame, making it inconvenient for him to go to the fields to work. Being a village doctor could also earn work points to support himself and raise his younger siblings.

As for the junior high and high school textbooks she bought, he still didn't understand why she bought them for him to study. He thought so, and Wei Jingyuan asked the same question. "Why did you buy junior high and high school textbooks for me to study?"

"Of course I think you have the potential to go to college," Tao Qiuyi said briefly, bringing the stray words back to the topic. "Oh! That's not important. We're talking about whether you like studying medicine."

"The college entrance examination has been stopped a long time ago. If you want to go to college, you must rely on recommendations." Wei Jingyuan reminded her expressionlessly.

Tao Qiuyi waved his hand indifferently, "It's stopped now, but who can guarantee that it will suddenly be available again one day? No one can predict such things."

She couldn't tell him directly that the college entrance examination would be resumed next year, and by then, thousands of people would be competing for a single spot, and a large number of educated youth would rely on the college entrance examination to return to the city to go to school.

Wei Jingyuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, stared at her dangerously, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you know?"

Let's just say this guy is sharp. Tao Qiuyi pretended to be speechless and looked at him. "What do I know? What can I know? I'm a country girl who grew up in the mountains. What do you think I can know?"

After being reminded by her, Wei Jingyuan was a little confused again. After living together for so long, he was sure that she had not disguised herself. The villagers who had seen her said that she was Tao Qiuyi, and the Huang family also said so.

Could it be that Tao Qiuyi secretly defected to the spies?
That's impossible. She grew up in the Huang family. The Huang family locked her in the yard and even the villagers rarely saw her. How could she have met spies and then defected to them?

Also, she had defected to the spies, and it was impossible for the Huang family who lived and ate with her to not have noticed.

"Wei Jingyuan." Seeing him staring at her in a daze, Tao Qiuyi called out.

no effect.

"Wei Jingyuan." Tao Qiuyi shouted again and waved his hand in front of him.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What were you thinking when you looked at me just now? I called you twice and you didn't respond." Tao Qiuyi looked at him strangely.

"Nothing." Wei Jingyuan would definitely not tell her that he suspected she was a spy. He put down the medical book in his hand and stood up with his crutches.

"Where are you going?" Holding his wrist, Tao Qiuyi stood up with him.

Wei Jingyuan looked at her speechlessly, "Go to the toilet."

His hand felt like it was burned, so Tao Qiuyi quickly let go of his wrist and waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly. "Go, go."

After glancing at her, Wei Jingyuan walked out with his cane. Watching Wei Jingyuan's back as he quickly left the house, Tao Qiuyi frowned, feeling as if he was about to flee.

He was just deliberately avoiding the question, but unfortunately she had no evidence. Tao Qiuyi curled her lips, stood up and walked to the door, took a key from the back of the door, and went to the next room to unlock it.

Unlocking, entering the house, and closing the door, all in one go, Tao Qiuyi hung the lock and key on the back of the door, then slipped into the ring space.

As soon as she entered, Tao Qiuyi noticed something had changed in the ring space, but she couldn't tell what it was. Fortunately, she was a carefree person, so even though she couldn't see the specific changes, she didn't dwell on it. She walked over to the pile of herbs and started searching.

His tendons and veins were severely damaged and he had been frozen in the snow for a long time. Not to mention that Chinese and Western medicine were unable to cure him, she could not repair Wei Jingyuan's tendons and veins with just herbs.

So, she had already made up her mind in Old Jiang's thatched cottage to use a pill that had traveled with her.

Of course, she couldn't give the whole pill to Wei Jingyuan, as that would easily scare him. She decided to scrape off a little bit of it and mix it into the herbal juice that could strengthen the body to make pills.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Two calls came from outside the door.

Tao Qiuyi immediately flashed out of the ring space. He was already at the door and just reached out to open the door.

Li Zi stood at the door of the next room and waved to Tao Qiuyi, "Sister-in-law, lunch is ready, come and eat."

"Okay, it's cold outside, you go inside first." Tao Qiuyi instructed with a smile, took out the lock on the back of the door and locked it, then went to the next room to have lunch.

For lunch, each person had a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs on top. Tao Qiuyi and Li Zi had smaller bowls, while Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai had larger bowls. The family of four all ate very full and satisfied.

After lunch, Li Zi cleaned up the dishes and went to her fourth aunt's house to help make clothes.

Wei Jingyuan sat by the fireplace reading a medical book.

Tao Qiuyi called Xiao Huai to sit with him and arranged the medicinal herbs on the table. These herbs were collected by Tao Qiuyi when he went into the mountains to hunt and were placed in the space of his ring.

She only took out a small portion of what she needed, and most of the other herbs were still kept in the ring space.

There was an iron bucket next to Xiao Huai, with half a bucket of water in it for washing the herbs. There was a cloth on the table in front of him for wiping the herbs.

Xiao Huai washed the herb Tao Qiuyi gave him, dried it, and put it directly into the porcelain basin. Tao Qiuyi sighed after seeing this, reached out and took out the herb Xiao Huai had just put in, and weighed it gently with his hand.

"It's overweight. Pick off the two leaves on top." Tao Qiuyi handed the herb to Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai took the herb and plucked two leaves. He weighed them and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, I feel like these two leaves have no weight. How did you determine their weight?"

"My hand is the scale." Tao Qiuyi raised a herb in his hand, picked a few leaves from it and threw them into the porcelain basin.

"Is it accurate?" Xiao Huai asked curiously.

"Herbs and the like are definitely 100% accurate. I can't say they are 100% accurate for the others, but they are definitely 97% to 98% accurate." Tao Qiuyi answered very subtly.

"So powerful." Xiao Huai was stunned.

"I have been dealing with herbs for many years, and I have learned to know the weight of herbs just by touching them." Tao Qiuyi put the herb stalk aside.
