CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101 SUCCESSFUL JOB TRANSFER

The next day, Yunyi made her usual porridge with coarse grains before taking her back basket and heading up the back mountain.

The people from the production team were already wary of wild beasts on the back mountain. Ever since Doctor Gong had been gored and injured by a wild boar while collecting herbs there, even fewer dared to venture up. Now, the back mountain was practically her private territory.

Her Qinggong skill, ’Leisurely Traceless,’ had already shown some minor achievements. Her ’Jade Arrow Flurry’ skill had recovered to 60 or 70 percent of its proficiency from her previous life. As for close-quarters combat and Taekwondo, she had recovered to her peak proficiency.

Her spiritual power was only just beginning to coalesce, but Yunyi was in no hurry. Her state of mind was very serene.

Aside from training on the back mountain today, she also planned to scout the wild boars’ territory. She intended to hunt one after the autumn harvest to make cured meat, some of which she would send to those few families in Beijing.

After all, she wasn’t the original Yunyi. Since those families had sent so many expensive gifts, she couldn’t just send mushrooms in return. She hated owing favors to anyone.

Activating her Qinggong, she quickly reached the inner depths of the mountain and chose a large tree to land on. Observing a herd of wild boars foraging nearby, she memorized the terrain.

Her luck today was simply phenomenal. On her way back, she discovered three ginseng plants—one large and two small. The largest one looked to be over a hundred years old.

Fortunately, she had tools in her space. She carefully dug up the soil within about a half-chi radius around each ginseng plant and transported them, soil and all, into her space. The three ginseng plants quickly settled into their new home there.

Afterward, she found a withered tree, split it with a single palm strike, and stored it in her space. Feeling cheerful, she activated her Qinggong and descended the mountain.

As she neared the foot of the mountain, she took the withered tree out of her space and began dragging it toward her small courtyard.

Elsewhere, Widow Qiu was repeatedly instructing her son, "Hang around Chu Zhiqing more. It’s best if people start to misunderstand your relationship. Given enough time, she won’t be able to clear her name even if she had ten mouths.

"By then, she’ll be at our mercy! I’ve heard that Chu Zhiqing’s situation is the best at their Zhiqing Point. She’s only been here a few days and has already received two large parcels.

"Once you two succeed, all her things will belong to our family. Then you can bring home a beautiful wife without spending a dime, and we’ll make all those long-tongued gossips green with envy!"

Qiu Baolin was so buoyed by the rosy picture his mother painted that he spent the whole morning in a daze.

However, when he arrived at the work assignment site, he couldn’t find Chuyunyi anywhere and anxiously scanned the crowd for her.

Someone curiously asked, "Lin Zi, who are you looking for?"

Qiu Baolin didn’t dare tell the truth, so he mumbled an excuse to get by. After that, he didn’t dare to conspicuously look around anymore.

Meanwhile, Yunyi, the object of his thoughts, had already arrived at the clinic early that morning.

The Branch Secretary was a meticulous man. He had also brought the accountant over. Together, they inventoried all the medicines and other items in the clinic. Only after all three of them had signed the list did he hand the keys to Yunyi.

The Branch Secretary specifically instructed, "Chu Zhiqing, for now, you’ll be the only one at the clinic. Your work points will be calculated at ten per day, and your working hours will be the same as those working in the fields. However, if there’s a special situation, you must be available on call."

Yunyi was quite satisfied with ten work points per day. The production team wasn’t losing out either, considering she would be handling all the work in the clinic by herself during this period.

Getting ten work points without having to toil under the sun and endure the wind—being on call was perfectly reasonable. "Rest assured, leaders, I will do my job well," she promised.

The Branch Secretary and the accountant were very pleased with her attitude and left after giving a few more instructions.

Watching them leave, Yunyi fetched water and cleaned the clinic thoroughly once more, preparing to officially assume her duties.

Just as she finished tidying up, a young woman rushed in, holding an infant just a few months old.

With a face full of anxiety, she cried out, "Chu Zhiqing, please, quickly help my daughter! Take a look at her!"
