Uncle Lao Ji looked at Uncle Zhang, who had always taken good care of him. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. Nowadays, only these people really cared about him.
Uncle Zhang was getting old. However, he still had to support his old wife and young daughter at home. So, despite his advanced age, he had to endure the heavy workload every day.
At this moment, Uncle Lao Ji had made up his mind. Looking at the people from the village head's family with an uncompromising tone, he said, "I've made up my mind. I'm quitting today!"
Uncle Lao Ji's attitude made the second son of the village head so angry that his eyes turned red. He immediately cursed, "This son of a bitch! Come or not, it's up to him. It's not like we can't do without him. You, give him the labor ticket and tell him to get out of here right now!"
Uncle Lao Ji finally got the labor ticket as he wished. Now he was completely cut off from the village head's family. This was also what Su Yanke had requested. Otherwise, if they made money in the future and the village head's family became jealous and caused some trouble, it would be really annoying for them.
Only in this way could the village head's family have no reason to force Uncle Lao Ji to make stoves for them.
Su Yanke learned that the laws here were different from those in her world. Here, each person had a unique labor ticket. When working, they had to give the labor ticket to the foreman. Then all their labor force would belong to the foreman, and they had to unconditionally obey all the work arrangements during this period.
However, if their health problems occurred during this period, they would be unconditionally sent back by the foreman.
In this world, human labor was the cheapest. So people all hoped that their descendants could go to school. But only a very small number of people had this chance because the cost of schooling was extremely high.
This was also the reason why Uncle Lao Ji was so excited when he heard that Xiaobao could go to school.
Seeing Uncle Lao Ji get the labor ticket, Dali also shouted that he wanted his labor ticket back.
The people from the village head's family had long disliked Dali. They directly threw his labor ticket out of the window.
Dali didn't care about this. He stepped forward to pick it up and put it in his pocket.
Uncle Lao Ji watched this scene with red eyes. He stepped forward and put his arm around Dali's shoulder, saying, "Dali! Good brother, come to my place for dinner later!"
Dali shook his head. "No, I'll go back to my own place to eat."
Uncle Lao Ji patted him on the head and said, "There's only you in your family. Can you cook? Come to my place. That's settled!"
Uncle Lao Ji stared at Dali threateningly.
Dali gave a simple and honest smile. Looking at Uncle Lao Ji's serious eyes, he nodded.
Only then did Uncle Lao Ji smile again.
The more Su Yanke taught Xiaobao, the more surprised she was because Xiaobao had really great talent. For some rather abstract explanations, as long as Su Yanke demonstrated once, Xiaobao could quickly understand and successfully demonstrate it himself.
With such a talented student, Su Yanke became more and more enthusiastic. When Uncle Lao Ji came back for lunch, Su Yanke suddenly realized that so much time had passed!
Su Yanke quickly asked Xiaobao about his physical condition.
"Sorry, Xiaobao. This is the first time I've taught someone. I just forgot the time. It's mainly because Xiaobao is so talented that I even forgot about your physical condition. If you're tired or uncomfortable, you must tell sister!"
Xiaobao didn't know whether he blushed because Su Yanke had just praised his talent or because he was the first person Su Yanke had taught.
"No, no. Jie Jie doesn't need to apologize. Jie Jie teaches very well, and Xiaobao is also fine!"
Su Yanke breathed a sigh of relief. But in her heart, she silently remembered that she must pay attention to the combination of work and rest in the future. This kind of thing must not happen again!
At this time, Uncle Lao Ji looked at Xiaobao, whose face was a bit pale, and asked worriedly, "Xiaobao, do you want to take a rest? You look a bit unwell!"
Hearing this, the heart that Su Yanke had just calmed down tightened again. She quickly used her spiritual power to check Xiaobao's body.
This check was really eye - opening. All of Xiaobao's muscles were in an extremely tense state. This kind of tense state only occurred when a person was extremely fatigued, just like the muscle state of rescue soldiers who didn't rest for two days during a flood!
Su Yanke felt extremely distressed. Regardless of the preciousness of her spiritual power, she used it to repair Xiaobao's muscles. Xiaobao was still glaring at Uncle Lao Ji, telling him not to talk too much. Suddenly, his extremely sore body was gently caressed by a gentle breath. Xiaobao immediately looked at Su Yanke.
Because of the rapid consumption of her spiritual power, sweat gradually appeared on Su Yanke's forehead, and the color of her lips also faded. Xiaobao was anxious to let Su Yanke stop, but he couldn't do anything at this moment.
Xiaobao could only bite his lips tightly to keep himself from crying.
Uncle Lao Ji beside them also noticed that something was wrong with Su Yanke. He quickly stepped forward to ask about her condition. In fact, Su Yanke herself didn't know the reason. Just when she had just input her spiritual power into Xiaobao's body, her body began to be out of control. Her spiritual power seemed to be attracted by something and rushed into Xiaobao's body crazily.
Su Yanke was very anxious. This spiritual power couldn't be absorbed by just anyone. Xiaobao, a child, couldn't bear such a large amount of spiritual power. Most of the sweat on Su Yanke's head was due to anxiety.
Su Yanke's spiritual power was gradually overdrawn, and her consciousness began to blur. Just when Su Yanke's spiritual power stopped entering Xiaobao's body, a pattern like a purple - copper coin appeared on the position of Xiaobao's scapula on his back. But it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Su Yanke fainting, Uncle Lao Ji anxiously called Aunt Li over. He then quickly turned around to invite Doctor Liu to come and have a look.
Thanks to Su Yanke's spiritual power, Xiaobao's body had recovered. He also followed Aunt Li into the room. Xiaobao looked at the unconscious Su Yanke worriedly, while Aunt Li paced back and forth in a hurry beside him.
"Here, here! Doctor Liu is here!" Uncle Lao Ji pulled Doctor Liu, whose clothes were in a mess, and rushed into the room.
Doctor Liu had just returned from gathering herbs yesterday. He had been sorting them out all morning. Just as he was about to take a nap, he was pulled here by Uncle Lao Ji.
After standing still, Doctor Liu tidied up his clothes. Looking at Su Yanke on the bed, he frowned involuntarily. Su Yanke's constitution was really too special, and he had a deep impression of her.
Doctor Liu stepped forward to feel her pulse. "Strange. Her physical condition is fine, but she seems to lack a certain energy?"
"What do you mean, Doctor Liu?" Aunt Li didn't understand and asked.
Doctor Liu looked more carefully for a while. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's nothing serious. She just needs to eat some food that can replenish qi and blood to recover!"
Aunt Li understood this. She quickly asked Uncle Lao Ji to buy some meat to replenish Su Yanke. Aunt Li thought that Su Yanke had fainted because she hadn't eaten well these days. In fact, Doctor Liu had hidden something from her.
When Doctor Liu checked Su Yanke's physical condition for the second time, he found that she had no pulse!
Doctor Liu's mind went blank. He even began to doubt his own professionalism. After triple - checking, he was even more confused. Why did Su Yanke's pulse come and go?
This was simply a monster!
Doctor Liu's mind was working frantically. But looking at the worried expressions of Aunt Li and the others, he didn't say anything. He just had to send them away first.
After Aunt Li and Uncle Lao Ji left, Doctor Liu took out a small round stone from the compartment of his medical box. The stone was only as big as a thumbnail, and its color was very dark, somewhat like dark blue.
Doctor Liu carefully placed the stone on Su Yanke's body. Then, after moving a certain distance away from Su Yanke, he sat cross - legged and began to mutter something.
Xiaobao was completely ignored by Doctor Liu. He was short and had been silent all the time. He was just standing in the corner of the door, and Doctor Liu's attention was completely attracted by Su Yanke's strangeness.
Xiaobao looked at this scene very puzzled. Worried that the small stone would be dangerous to Su Yanke, he was just about to step forward when he saw Doctor Liu open his eyes and mutter "Impossible, impossible."
Doctor Liu's ancestors were once very famous Taoist priests. They were well - known figures in that era. They could predict good and bad luck and the future without fail.
All this relied on this small stone. According to his grandfather, this stone was found by his ancestor in an earthquake - stricken area. The ancestor found that it was not an ordinary object, so he took it home for research. Gradually, he discovered the special function of this stone. It was of great help to the ancestor's divination techniques. The ancestor also became rich with the help of this stone.
However, things were different in Doctor Liu's generation. He only had a half - understanding of divination techniques, but he had great talent for medicine. So, although he was not very proficient in the things passed down by his ancestors, he was not surprised by such strange things.
He knew that there were other kinds of people in this world who had magical abilities. Now he suspected that Su Yanke was one of them. So he wanted to use this stone to test Su Yanke's identity, but there was no reaction at all.
Was he really overthinking it?
But what about that pulse...
Thinking of this, Doctor Liu endured his fear and reached out to feel Su Yanke's wrist again. This time, Doctor Liu was stunned again. What was going on? The pulse was normal!
Doctor Liu was completely confused. In fact, all this was due to his own doing.
Doctor Liu was an ordinary person and naturally couldn't see that when he placed the stone on Su Yanke's body, a lot of purple energy began to overflow from the stone and drill into Su Yanke's body, replenishing and repairing Su Yanke's over - depleted dantian. This was the reason why Doctor Liu found everything normal when he felt the pulse just now.
Thanks to the recovery of her dantian, Su Yanke gradually regained consciousness.
