Chapter 28: Chapter 26: Arranging Everything (pk please follow) Chapter 28: Chapter 26: Arranging Everything (pk please follow) Qin Qin brought Lu Xuezhen home, and on the way they encountered quite a few neighbors and locals, to whom Qin Qin all nodded in greeting, paying no mind to the curiosity and wonder in everyone’s eyes.
Qin Qin brought Lu Xuezhen back home where Qin An had already arrived and was preparing to start cooking.
Seeing Qin Qin actually bring a woman home, Qin An felt somewhat awkward as he smiled at Lu Xuezhen, “Hello!”
Lu Xuezhen nodded politely at Qin An, she could clearly see the disability of Qin An’s right hand, her eyes dimmed for a moment, then she glanced at Qin Qin again.
“Dad, this is Lu Xuezhen, my friend. She’ll be staying with us for a while,” Qin Qin said and then handed the shopping bag she was carrying to Qin An, “This is the clothing I bought for you. Take it to your room first. I’ll show Xuezhen to her room.”
Qin An looked at the shopping bag in his hands, a multitude of questions filling his heart, but still he let Qin Qin properly show Lu Xuezhen to a room to rest for a while.
Qin Qin took Lu Xuezhen to her room, asking her to put down her scant luggage, “You can rest in my room for the time being. I know you must have doubts in your heart, you might wonder if my medical skills are really that good, why I haven’t healed my father. I can only tell you, the time hasn’t come yet. My father also doesn’t know that I can heal. After I’ve healed you, I will treat my father. You just take a good rest for now. You should eat more of the fruit in the room, it’s good for you.”
After she finished speaking, Qin Qin left the room. Lu Xuezhen was somewhat shocked that Qin Qin actually knew what she was thinking, but upon realizing that Qin Qin was not as simple as she appeared, she came to terms with it.
Glancing at the glistening apples in the fruit bowl on the desk, their vivid color tempted even the usually appetite-less Lu Xuezhen to pick one up and taste it.
With the first bite, Lu Xuezhen’s eyes widened. She looked at the bright red apple in her hand with disbelief and took another big bite.
It was the first time she had tasted such a delicious apple! Really tasty, crisp and palatable, with a sweet taste that had an enduring flavor, so delicious!
Without realizing it, Lu Xuezhen finished nearly half a pound of apple, still wanting more.
She was shocked at her own gluttony! It could be said that her family was well-off and she had tried many delicacies, but today she craved an apple and even felt, perhaps it was just her impression, there was a warm and comfortable flow through her chest. Since being diagnosed with breast cancer, she had been living in a daze, especially since her husband actually divorced her, she almost believed that she had no hope left to continue living, but now…
She could live on, couldn’t she?
Initially, she had some doubts whether this girl from what seemed like a poor family could really possess such great abilities, but now she believed completely.
As Qin Qin left the room, Qin An was just entering his own room. Qin Qin went into Qin An’s room as she planned to come clean to Qin An about some things.
To say coming clean, it really was a mix of truths and lies. After all, even if she told the truth, who would believe it?
“Qinqin, these clothes…” Qin An’s voice trailed off, hesitant to continue.
“Dad, I have something to tell you.”
“What… what are you talking about?” Qin An was somewhat nervous, afraid his daughter might say something unfavorable.
Qin Qin stepped forward and took Qin An’s hand, only to feel its coarse texture somewhat pricking her skin, her nose tingling with emotion, “Dad, from now on you don’t have to work so hard, your daughter can earn money to support you… Actually, ever since I woke up in the hospital last time, I discovered that my eyes could actually see other people’s past and future. I can use this to make money to support you. Also, do you remember Doctor Wei from our village end?”
Qin An nodded somewhat blankly.
The Doctor Wei mentioned by Qin Qin was an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from Guanyin Town, who, unfortunately, had died in a car accident a while back.
“Actually, Doctor Wei taught me quite a lot of medical skills, and I really like the feeling of saving people. The clothes in your hands, this phone, and this card, I got them from saving people.” Qin Qin handed over the new phone and the card with one hundred thousand yuan to Qin An, “This card has one hundred thousand yuan in it, take it, don’t push yourself too hard.”
Qin Qin stuffed the card directly into the hands of Qin An, who hadn’t yet fully reacted.
“You… Qinqin, you…” At this moment, Qin An truly couldn’t find the words to express himself, whether it be shock, surprise, or amazement! How had his daughter changed so drastically after just leaving the hospital? If he didn’t know that the Qin Qin before him was his daughter, he would definitely wonder who she was! But Qin An didn’t know that while the exterior was Qin Qin, the soul was not.
How could saving someone yield so much money! In his entire life, he had never had more than ten thousand yuan at home, but now his daughter had just handed him one hundred thousand yuan, so much so that he was too astounded to speak.
“Having these things… don’t tell anyone. I’m afraid someone might take you away…” In the end, that’s all Qin An could say, feeling fear. He didn’t hope for his daughter to be extremely wealthy; he only hoped she could be safe.
Qin Qin hugged Qin An, “Don’t worry, Dad, it won’t happen. Your daughter is strong. I know my limits.”
When Lu Xue Zhen first came to Qin Qin’s home, what she felt was poverty, but within that poverty, there was warmth that made her incredibly envious. Though Lu Xue Zhen’s family circumstances were well-off, the feelings between parents and children were nothing like those between Qin An and Qin Qin, who shared a bond of care and love. Her own parents, ha, wanted her to marry a man she didn’t love, all because partnerships were more important to them than their own daughter, so she fled that indifferent family.
The next day, Qin Qin left home.
Back at school, Qin Qin immediately asked for leave. Lee Xing originally didn’t agree because, firstly, this crucial moment was the time to push forward with all effort, and secondly, Qin Qin’s grades were not particularly good, requiring extra effort at such a critical time. Eventually, after Qin Qin promised she would rank within the top five in the next monthly test, Lee Xing consented.
Instead of returning home, Qin Qin phoned Qin An to let him know she would be staying at a classmate’s house for a few days to study. Qin An, of course, wouldn’t suspect his daughter. Instead, he nodded with relief and reminded her not to make trouble for her classmate. She indicated she understood.
After hanging up with Qin An, Qin Qin also called Lu Xue Zhen to say that there would be a few days’ delay in treating her and asked her to eat more of the Spirit Fruits she left at home, as well as to get out more and exercise. Without asking too much, Lu Xue Zhen simply told Qin Qin that she would.
Qin Qin left the school, withdrew ten thousand yuan from the bank, and then put it in her space. With her identity card, she bought a plane ticket.
She was heading to Ning City in Province A, a first-tier city somewhat far from Chuandu City and the largest medicinal herb market in Yun Country. There was also a large and deep mountain nearby—Luoyun Mountain.
Few people lived around Luoyun Mountain, all because of a legend that said the mountain harbored man-eating wild apes. This deterred many from venturing into Luoyun Mountain, and even those brave enough dared not delve too deeply into it.
Allegedly, Luoyun Mountain was full of rare treasures. However, these so-called treasures were not gold or jewels but valuable medicinal herbs. This rumor originated from a bold herb gatherer who ventured in and barely made it out alive. After uttering these words, he died and repeatedly cautioned everyone not to go deep into Luoyun Mountain, warning of man-eating apes there that stood several meters tall, with fierce faces, capable of swallowing a person whole, and ten times more terrifying than tigers or lions.
