Chapter 22: Rainstorm
After a day of training, Liu Lin and Ye Ling walked back together. On the way, Liu Lin subtly asked Ye Ling if she had met anyone new recently.
Seeing Ye Ling's puzzled expression, Liu Lin quickly explained, "I'm just concerned that you might be deceived by some ill-intentioned people. Lingling, you have a simple nature and you're so beautiful. Now that you're going to Willow Village alone, it could be troublesome if some bad people target you. In order to avoid a situation like Wu De's, you need to be vigilant and avoid unnecessary interactions with others."
Ye Ling felt a moment of confusion upon hearing Liu Lin's explanation. Why was Liu Lin telling her all this?
Furthermore, Liu Lin seemed a bit nervous, and Ye Ling wondered what she was worried about.
After her initial confusion, Ye Ling couldn't help but internally complain, "It seems that you're the person I should avoid the most."
Although Ye Ling didn't believe Liu Lin's words at all, she still put on a nervous yet convinced expression and nodded earnestly. "Liu Lin, thank you for reminding me. I will be cautious."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's response, Liu Lin let out a long breath of relief.
Since the previous incident, Ye Ling probably hadn't continued to contact Min Nan. Otherwise, when Liu Lin inquired earlier, Ye Ling would have told her.
Liu Lin had said those things to scare Ye Ling. Knowing that Ye Ling was timid and usually disliked interacting with strangers, Liu Lin figured that after being scared by her, Ye Ling wouldn't dare to actively seek out Min Nan.
As for Min Nan, since he hadn't let Ye Ling know that he was the one who had saved her, he probably wouldn't actively approach Ye Ling either.
Although the current situation didn't seem bad, Liu Lin still felt a sense of crisis. She had to get Ye Ling far away from this place as soon as possible. It would be best if she never appeared by Min Nan's side. That was the safest way!
Back at home, Ye Ling entered the small world and saw that a batch of herbs with a relatively short growth cycle was almost ready for harvest. She pondered how to handle this batch of herbs.
While the small world could accelerate the growth of herbs and make them flourish, many herbs couldn't be used directly. Harvested herbs needed to undergo a series of processing steps, such as drying, threshing, and removing impurities.
If Ye Ling were to process the herbs at the residence of the production team in Willow Village, it would be easily discovered, making it difficult to explain.
It seemed she had to find a discreet location to secretly process the herbs before selling them.
Additionally, after the training was over, Ye Ling planned to make a trip to the deep mountains to search for rarer herbs. Currently, the herbs in the small world were most common ones, and even if processed, they wouldn't fetch a high price. She needed more precious herbs!
Two days later, Ye Ling was supposed to continue with her training, but the weather suddenly turned unfavorable. Thunderstorms, which were common in summer, made the mountain roads muddy.
The pharmacy trainer had already mentioned that training sessions wouldn't be held in case of rain or strong winds, as safety came first.
Ye Ling stared at the pouring rain outside, and memories of the past flooded her mind.
In her previous life, after she married Wu De, he would spend his days gambling, squandering all the family's money. He even took away the little money Ye Ling had managed to save.
On rainy days, when Wu De couldn't go out, he would drink heavily at home. When drunk, he turned into a raging lunatic. If he was in a bad mood, Ye Ling would suffer even more.
When Wu De was in a bad mood, everything irritated him, especially Ye Ling. Without any reason, he would often lash out at her, pulling her hair and smashing her head against the wall, or viciously kicking and slapping her.
Those days, even the memory of them made Ye Ling tremble and her heart quiver with fear.
It was all in the past. It would never happen again... Ye Ling repeatedly comforted herself in her mind, finally managing to suppress the painful and restless emotions.
"Knock, knock." Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Ye Ling was stunned for a moment. Who would be looking for her?
"Who is it?" Ye Ling remained cautious and didn't open the door immediately, asking loudly.
"It's me, Sister Lingling." A child's voice came from outside.
"Wan Xue?" Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door.
Upon opening the door, Ye Ling saw Wan Xue, drenched in rain and wearing a raincoat, his face filled with deep concern.
"What's wrong, Wan Xue?"
"Sister Lingling, do you know what to do if a pregnant woman has heavy bleeding?" Wan Xue wiped off the rainwater from his face, his voice trembling with panic.
