Chapter 654 - 323 Considerate_3
Qian Yixiu nodded and placed the Dragon Ball into her purse, alongside another large, pale blue Pearl, then tucked the purse into her bosom. She put another purse, filled with smaller pearls, into her backpack.
Liang Jinzhao’s eyes were filled with admiration as he said, "Yixiu, when your family was so poor, you were not greedy and did not take the Dragon Ball to the secular world to exchange it for money. Otherwise, the world would have been thrown into chaos."
Qian Yixiu smiled and said, "Such a treasure is too precious, and I knew my family couldn’t protect it, so I dared not take it out. I only took some pearls of average quality, along with tea leaves, lotus seeds, and peach branches."
Liang Jinzhao nodded, thinking to himself that it was no wonder the Golden Lady Mot tea, the golden lotus root, and the Golden honey peach were so exceptional, as they all originated from this place.
After seeing Qian Yixiu secure the Zi Zhu, the two of them lay down against the peach tree and fell asleep, reassured. Exhausted, Shan Dian and Yin Feng had already lain down on the ground and fallen asleep, while only Monkey Brother continued to play in the pond.
Qian Yixiu couldn’t sleep. She took out red dates, gouji berries, brown sugar, and ginger and started to brew them in a small pot, thinking to herself that she must ask Doctor Zhang for some effective gynecological medicine as soon as she got back, not wishing to lose the ability to be a mother.
She sat beside the fire, holding the little squirrel, and kept adding dry sticks to the fire, listening to the occasional "crackle" coming from it.
Once the ginger sugar water was ready, she poured it into a bowl and drank it while it was hot. She drank two bowls in one go, broke into a sweat, and felt much better, her limbs not as stiff as before.
There was still some water left in the bowl, and the little squirrel drank from it, only to feel the sting of the spiciness and immediately lift its head, sticking out its tongue and gasping.
Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "This is ginger sugar water; it’s a bit spicy." Then she reached into her bosom and stuffed a piece of sugar into its mouth.
The sugar was sweet, causing the little squirrel to squint its eyes and twitch its mouth and nose. Qian Yixiu, feeling a great affection, hugged and kissed it again. Sighing, she said, "Little squirrel, this might be our last time seeing each other. I really can’t bear to part with you."
