Lu Jing then instructed, "Eldest Sister-in-law, use the medicinal oil to rub her well. The wounds on her hands also need to be disinfected with baijiu."
Hearing this, Xia Xi immediately put on a pained face, "These small wounds, no, really no need."
Lu Jing said sternly, "If not disinfected, there's a risk of infection. If you think it hurts, eat a few candies, and it won't hurt anymore."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed a large handful of White Rabbit candies and stuffed them into Xia Xi's embrace.
Xia Xi stared at him blankly, "Big Brother Lu, you're treating me like a child."
"You are indeed a child."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he turned and returned to his own house.
Yu Qiu struggled to hold back her laughter, and finally burst out laughing.
Xia Xi glared at her.
Yu Qiu tried to hold back her laughter, but it was still difficult.
Entered the house.
Yu Qiu helped Xia Xi apply the medicinal oil, while Xiao Yan went out to play.
Xia Xi pouted, "Not allowed to laugh!"
"Tell me, how did you fall? How did you fall in such an awkward location?"
"He was riding a bicycle, and I was on the back. I wanted to jump on, but... I landed on my bottom."
Xia Xi said glumly.
It was really too embarrassing.
Yu Qiu really couldn't hold back and burst out laughing again.
Yu Qiu's laughter echoed in the room, lingering for a long time.
Xia Xi wanted to cry.
Fortunately, after Yu Qiu finished rubbing with the medicinal oil, it felt much better.
Yu Qiu pulled up her pants, "Alright, you can just lie down."
"Hmph!"
Xia Xi looked at Yu Qiu like a pitiful kitten, with her big, watery eyes full of grievance.
Yu Qiu wanted to laugh but managed to hold back.
After Yu Qiu went out.
Xia Xi thought about the embarrassing incident that happened today and felt truly mortified.
Lying down wasn't comfortable either.
The jade pendant in her pocket was still a bit uncomfortable.
She took the jade pendant out of her pocket, thinking about how her blood had stained it and disappeared shortly after.
Was she seeing things?
Xia Xi looked at the jade pendant for a long time again, then suddenly remembered the novels she had read, where blood dripped onto jade pendants and such.
Xia Xi painfully squeezed some blood from her scraped palm and muttered, "Go in, go in."
Suddenly, a white light shone.
It was so bright that Xia Xi couldn't open her eyes.
When she felt the light was no longer so strong, she opened her eyes again.
She looked around in shock.
Where was she?
What place was this?
Why was everything around her a vast expanse of white?
There was a rushing sound in her ears, like the sound of water.
Xia Xi turned and saw a well, from which the sound of water was coming.
Xia Xi curiously went forward to look. The well was full of water, and she could reach it with her hand.
What is this?
Could it be some legendary Spirit Spring?
Xia Xi looked at the scraped skin on her hand. She scooped some water with a gourd ladle and poured it onto her hand.
It was cool and very comfortable.
She drank some more. It was truly clear and sweet, like mountain spring water, even sweeter than mountain spring water.
Xia Xi couldn't help but drink some more.
She instantly felt refreshed and full of energy.
Then she looked at the wound on her hand.
Visually, there was no change, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
After drinking the Spirit Spring Water.
Xia Xi looked around other places.
She saw a small courtyard ahead.
Xia Xi walked into the small courtyard in confusion. She saw flowers planted in the yard, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, loofahs, green peppers, everything was there!
Could this be the legendary space?
Xia Xi thought about how she had muttered "go in?" just now.
She tried calling out "go out."
Indeed!
She was back in her own small room.
Xia Xi immediately started picking.
It just so happened that she went into the city today, so she had a reason to take them out.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, loofahs, green peppers, winter melons, she picked a pile of everything.
After coming out of the space, she saw Yu Qiu was not there, so she immediately put them into her back basket.
Yu Qiu hadn't touched the things she bought.
As for Xiao Yan, he was easy to fool.
While she was buying things, Xiao Yan was constantly looking around.
Children are always interested in the things in glass cabinets.
Xia Xi returned to her small room and impatiently entered the space again.
There were three rooms in the small courtyard, and they were brick and tile houses.
She pushed open a door, and all she saw were books.
Xia Xi randomly picked up a book, and it turned out to be a rare ancient book!
She picked up and looked at a few more books; they were all ancient texts.
She went into another room; there were cookbooks, all sorts of cookbooks.
There was another room, which contained medical books, as well as books similar to the Compendium of Materia Medica, which introduced various herbal medicines.
Xia Xi couldn't help but gasp.
This jade pendant given by Grandma was truly a good thing!
No wonder Xu Shanshan's business was so successful in her previous life.
Her food store had nationwide chains and was incredibly popular, with long queues.
She opened a cosmetics company, launching traditional Chinese medicine skincare products, which were very well-received.
She used these books, along with the Spirit Spring outside.
This belonged to her Xia family!
She thought of her own foolishness in her previous life, giving it to that scumbag Lin Xiangdong.
Fortunately, she was getting it back in this life, and she had even activated the space in advance, making this item completely hers.
When Xia Xi came out of the space, she clearly felt that her backside no longer hurt.
This Spirit Spring was truly effective.
Xia Xi thought about it and immediately took some more water from the space to the kitchen.
Yu Qiu returned from washing clothes outside, "Xiao Xi, you're not lying down, what are you busy with now?"
"It's so hot today, I'm taking water to Father and Mother."
There was a lot of work in the fields these days, so they didn't come back for lunch. They would prepare it in the morning and take it with them.
It was either sweet potatoes or high-sorghum flour steamed buns.
Xia Xi started boiling the water, then took out the things from her back basket, "Eldest Sister-in-law, let's make dumplings tonight?"
Only then did Yu Qiu see the things in her back basket.
"Heavens! Are you trying to ruin us? Why did you buy so much!"
Xia Xi shushed her, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear. I have my own salary. I've been earning money for so long and haven't shown much filial respect to Father and Mother.
Father and Mother have been working hard all these years, their bodies are depleted, they are too weak and need good nourishment. This is meat, this is white flour. Sister-in-law, please help with the soup while I prepare something else."
Yu Qiu clicked her tongue twice and could only follow her arrangement.
Xia Xi boiled the Spirit Spring Water, added the tomatoes, then sliced some lean meat, coated it with starch, and cooked it. A tomato and shredded meat soup was ready.
Then she smashed the cucumbers, added some chili oil and minced garlic, mixed them, put them into an enamel cup, and headed to the fields.
Of course, she also packed two jars of Spirit Spring Water for Father, Mother, and her brothers to drink.
Xia Xi lifted it and felt how heavy it was!
An idea struck her: could the space store things?
She walked to a deserted bamboo forest, looked at her back basket, and silently thought, "Store."
Her back suddenly felt lighter!
Xia Xi's face lit up with joy!
Great!
She wouldn't have to carry it so far, it was heavy, and more importantly, it was easy to spill.
Just as she was nearing the fields, Xia Xi took the items out.
Xia Old Father, Xiang Cuihua, and Xia Xi's three brothers, Xia Yuanping, Xia Yuan'an, and Xia Yuankang, who were busy in the fields, all looked at Xia Xi, who was approaching with her back basket, in shock.
The first to take it was Eldest Brother Xia, Xia Yuanping. He took Xia Xi's heavy back basket and muttered, "On such a hot day, what are you carrying?"
"I know you'll be busy today and won't come back for lunch, so I brought some high-sorghum steamed buns and boiled water for lunch. That won't do.
Father, Mother, come sit and eat together."
Xia Xi also took out bowls from home and first served a bowl of tomato and shredded meat soup to Father, Mother, her three brothers, and Second Sister-in-law.
