If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Zhang Jing was also somewhat tempted. If there were really that many good medicinal herbs inside, one adventure could make her rich for one or two years. No wonder some hunting teams had considered it before.

Seeing that she was persuaded, Lin Qingqing gently patted her shoulder: "We must find a chance to go and see it in the future. Ghost walls and stuff are definitely a hoax."

"I have that compass, so we definitely won't get lost."

"Yes, you're right. Niujiao Mountain isn't too far away. If there really is treasure inside, it would be great if we went secretly and made a fortune. We can't tell anyone else."

"I know, but I definitely won't tell anyone."

After hearing the news, Lin Qingqing made her way to the foot of the mountain before it got completely dark, dug up some wild vegetables to disguise herself, and whistled.

Ding Rui emerged from the shadows: "What is it?"

"Yes, I heard some news. People in the brigade said there's something fishy going on around Niujiaoshan. Someone went in before and got stuck in a ghost wall, almost dying inside."

"They also said there were many good medicinal herbs and other valuable things inside, but no one dared to go, and that's the end of the rumors."

After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, she stared at him and said, "You're going, right? It's for the good medicinal herbs inside, isn't it? I've heard that those who managed to get out by luck did bring back some really good medicinal herbs."

"They made a lot of money; in those war-torn years, our family was quite wealthy."

Ding Rui glanced at her indifferently, then looked towards the woods: "Are you sure this is Niujiao Mountain?"

"Yes, they are all afraid of that place, but I can also tell that many people want to go. There are many good things inside. If you go, you'd better bring a compass."

"Who knows what it means to be lost in a maze? It's always good to be prepared. Oh, and one more thing, you have to reimburse me for the vaccine costs."

"...What do you mean?"

Lin Qingqing rolled up her trouser leg, revealing a white gauze bandage: "That night I came to tell you about Jiang Lie going up the mountain, but he was bitten by a rabid dog on his way back. This is no small matter."

"Who knows if I'll get rabies? It's incurable, and I'll die. Getting vaccinated is the only way. It's expensive, so you have to reimburse me."

Ding Rui remained expressionless and handed over twenty yuan from his pocket: "This is for your medical expenses. Rabies can really kill people. Go get vaccinated on time so you don't actually die."

Lin Qingqing hurriedly grabbed the money, her eyes shining. The next second, she heard him say this, and her lips twitched: "You can hope for something good for me, after all, you can only rely on me now."

"Among the educated youth, there's no one else who can help you but me. But you were very generous with the money, so let's leave it at that."

"I have to go back now. I'll come find you again another day if I hear anything."

"Well, if I don't come when you whistle, it means I've gone into the mountains. Don't linger, just go down the mountain and back to the educated youth compound."

It would be better for them to stubbornly wait here and get discovered, as that wouldn't do them any good.

Lin Qingqing hummed in agreement: "I understand."

Ding Rui, seemingly lost in thought, said, "I'll give you money. Go to the barefoot doctor and get some medicine. You'll need things like insect repellent, detoxifiers, and hemostatics. And buy plenty of sulfur."

"Why go to the barefoot doctor? Why not go to the hospital?"

"Ha, are you stupid? You can't just get these things from a hospital. It's much more convenient with barefoot doctors. Go to two barefoot doctors and buy more and have them delivered."

"It'll be delivered tomorrow, you hear me?"

Lin Qingqing pouted: "Oh, I know, I'll go buy it and see. I don't get along with Wen Yao, who knows if she'll give me the medicine."

Ding Rui said coldly, "That's something you need to figure out how to solve. My money isn't free, understand?"

"...Okay, give me the money."

After receiving the money, Lin Qingqing turned and left quickly. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the foot of the mountain, and walked briskly.

Having money in my pocket makes me feel much more at ease.

As for those two, if they die inside, no one will ever know about her cooperation with them again. If they don't die, she can ask for more money in the future. Making money is really fast and easy.

Lin Qingqing arrived limping after dark.

Wen Yao was collecting medicinal herbs in the yard when she saw her come in and glanced at her: "Do you need help treating the wound or something else?"

"Yes, I need to treat the wound on my leg. I'm worried that if I don't treat it properly, it will get infected and cause more pain. Also, I'd like to buy some medicine from you, like some common insect repellent, sulfur, hemostatic agents, and antidotes."

"I can buy more. In the future, I want to go further into the mountains to dig for mushrooms. If I dry them, I'll have more vegetables to store up for winter."

After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at her and asked, "Are you done with your work? When can you help me treat the wound on my leg? And do you have the medicine I mentioned?"

Wen Yao nodded: "Of course, I have the commonly used medicines. As long as you pay the money, I'll prepare the prescription for you."

"Okay, thank you."

"Um."

Half an hour later, Lin Qingqing went out with her things in hand, a smile on her face. After putting her things down, she went to another barefoot doctor's house and bought a lot of commonly used medicines.

However, the price is much higher than Wen Yao's, which made Lin Qingqing somewhat dissatisfied: "Uncle, your medicine is a bit expensive, much more expensive than Wen Yao's."

Upon hearing that name, the barefoot doctor gave her a cold glance: "If you think my medicine is too expensive, you don't have to come to buy it. I didn't beg you to come."

"Young lady, you really don't know how to talk. Don't mention other doctors in front of me. She's just a little girl; how can she compare to my experience?"

Recently, the young girl's reputation has spread, and the number of patients coming to see him has decreased significantly, so his income is naturally not as high as before, which makes him unhappy.

Seeing that he was angry, Lin Qingqing wisely shut up, gave him the money and took the things, put them in a basket and headed up the mountain. After handing them over to Ding Rui, she carried the basket of wild vegetables back home.

Ding Rui returned to the cave with so much medicine and whispered, "Wang Hansheng, I'm back. How are you feeling?"

"Hmm, much better. As long as I don't move too much, there shouldn't be any problems. You've brought all the medicine back, right? Then let's go into Niujiaoshan first thing tomorrow morning."

"No rush. It will be safer for us to go to Niujiao Mountain after Jiang Lie comes down from his hunt. Otherwise, I'm worried we'll run into him. You can't fight now; we're no match for him and need to avoid him."

Wang Hansheng nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. We'll go whenever you say we want to."

"Also, be a little nicer to that girl. Although she's a bit greedy, she's really convenient and useful. We need her until we find that batch of weapons."

Ding Rui hummed in agreement: "I understand."

"Let me treat your wound. I'll keep an eye on things tomorrow. That person usually stays in the mountains for about three days. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll come down tomorrow. You can't keep prey up in the mountains."

"Okay, I understand."

Around noon the next day, Jiang Lie carried a wild boar down the mountain, with a strange prey hanging from his waist, as well as several rabbits and pheasants.

When the villagers saw him return, they greeted him warmly: "Jiang Lie is back! That wild boar was huge! You didn't catch any deer this time, did you?"
