Chapter 150 Worries

After repeating this self-comforting remark to his stomach a few times, Yunxu found that it actually seemed quite effective.

I don't know if I'm just fooling myself, but I really don't feel hungry. Of course, it's also possible that I'm just too hungry.

Quietly, I walked from a secluded place and first took a look at the land I had reclaimed. I used the space to water the crops in the fields. After watering, I took out a basket and stuffed it with a few pheasants and rabbits. Then I put a burlap sack full of herbs in it.

If you run into someone, just say you were delayed on the mountain. If you don't run into anyone, that's even better, you don't need to tell anyone else.

Yunxi was indeed a bit unlucky. Even though she was taking a small path down the mountain, she ran into some familiar faces from the village.

At this moment, he saw that Yunxi was particularly shocked. After looking at the things on her body and the direction she came from, he guessed that she might have gone up the mountain.

"Yunxi, you've been away from home these past few days. The brigade leader has been looking for you like crazy. He thought you'd been kidnapped. Hurry back so they won't worry about you."

"Okay, I'll be right back, thank you!"

Yunxi suddenly felt flustered. In front of people who cared about her, she felt somewhat guilty for leaving without saying goodbye.

In addition, that person was also doing it for Yunxi's own good. Seeing what Yunxi was carrying on her back and in her hands, he shouted in the direction of the village, "Yunxi is back!"

That loud voice must have been heard by the whole village.

She gave him an awkward smile and quickly ran towards home.

When Yunxi returned home with her things, she saw that her doorstep, which had been deserted before, was now surrounded by a large crowd.

Not only his grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other relatives, but also other villagers came to watch the spectacle.

Upon seeing Yunxi, Yun Deguang quickly came over to check on her, carefully examining her body to make sure there were no injuries before eagerly asking, "Yunxi, where have you been these past few days? I couldn't find you anywhere! I thought you'd been kidnapped!"

It's no wonder they thought she had been abducted; they had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and there probably wasn't another one as pretty in the whole town.

It's not surprising that they would be targeted by human traffickers.

Seeing her great-grandfather's anxious expression, and Grandma Huang and Grandma Cheng beside him with their red and swollen eyelids, constantly wiping away tears, Yunxi felt even more embarrassed!

"Grandpa, I'm so sorry to have worried you. I've been picking medicinal herbs on the mountain all this time. They seem useless to us, but the pharmacies in town will buy them. I was thinking of earning some extra money while I'm in high school, but I forgot to tell you. I'm so sorry!"

Yun Deguang felt that if it were his own granddaughter, he would have already whipped her, but when he thought that she was his second brother's only child, he couldn't bring himself to do it!

After taking a few deep breaths, he said in a harsh tone, "Next time you go somewhere, you must tell everyone. You are not alone. There are many people in the village who are worried about you. You can't let everyone worry about you."

Yunxi didn't know why, but tears suddenly fell down her face. She didn't want to cry at all, but after hearing these words, she felt a deep sense of emotion.

"Okay, I'm sorry to have worried everyone. I won't do it again. From now on, I'll let everyone know where I'm going and I definitely won't make you worry."

"Oh, right, since everyone's here now, I have quite a lot of various medicinal herbs. You can take them and throw them away; the town will buy them. It'll be a good source of extra income!"

You might not have expected Yunxi to be so generous as to share her money-making methods with others, but I have to say I'm quite happy about it.

Although Yunjia Village is considered to have very good conditions compared to other places, people would still be very happy to improve their own conditions.

"Yunxi, thank you for telling us all this. Come to my house for dinner sometime!"

For a thrifty person, inviting someone to their home for a meal is already considered very generous.

"Yes, yes, Yunxi, don't be shy, come to my house for dinner later."

Looking at everyone's enthusiasm, Yunxi wondered if she had told them too late that herbs could be sold for money.

The villagers are all very nice, except for a few individuals, of course.

Everyone must have been frantically looking for me these past few days, which is why they all gathered around me when they heard I was back.

People who don't usually talk much, or even those who have never spoken before, came.

They didn't seem to be there to watch the spectacle; they were genuinely concerned about me.

So, even after telling people about the herbs, I wasn't upset at all. I just hoped that the villagers of Yunjia Village would all be doing well.

Yun Deguang glanced at Yunxi with satisfaction. In fact, the families had known about the medicinal herbs for a long time and would occasionally collect some when they went up the mountain, but not much, because none of them had the time.

They had hesitated before about whether to tell anyone, but now that Yunxi has told them, she has made a choice for them, so they no longer need to struggle with the decision.

Seeing that everyone was still talking to Yunxi, Grandma Huang quickly said, "Alright, everyone, stop talking. Yunxi hasn't been back for several days. Let her go back and rest."

The villagers were quite tactful; they said a few more words, and then took their leave.

Before leaving, Yun Deguang repeatedly told Yunxi not to go up the mountain alone, as it was very dangerous and they were worried about her.

Yunxi thought about what she had gained this time. It seemed like she could stay away from the mountain for the next month and a half. She could take care of things at home and prepare for going to high school.

So he nodded decisively, indicating that he meant what he said and definitely wouldn't go.
