Chapter 151 Going to the County Town to Find the Items Needed for the Space

Feng Qingqing first went to the counter to inquire about the seeds she wanted to buy, including ginseng, astragalus, forsythia, bamboo leaves, tetrapanax papyriferus, and pinellia ternata. In the end, she found that all the seeds except ginseng were available.

Feng Qingqing was very disappointed.

The ginseng she most wanted to buy wasn't available, but that made sense, since this was just a county town.

After leaving the grain store, Feng Qingqing was already thinking about her next trip to the city or provincial capital to buy ginseng seeds. Ginseng is a core medicinal herb, and it's absolutely essential to have it.

The two then rushed to a traditional Chinese medicine shop next to the county hospital. Feng Qingqing wanted to see if the pharmacy had any herbs to treat Grandpa Fang's migraines.

There was only an elderly man, around fifty years old, guarding the counter in the pharmacy. She stepped forward and asked softly:

"Doctor, do you sell chrysanthemum, akebia, almonds, and cardamom here? Also, if you have talcum powder, please give me some as well."

When the old doctor heard the list of medicines that Feng Qingqing recited, he was slightly taken aback and asked in return;

"I have all the medicinal herbs you mentioned, but I don't know what you intend to use them for?"

Feng Qingqing was overjoyed to hear that it was for sale and quickly replied:

"I am the brigade's medic. I bought these medicinal herbs to try making some ointments for the commune members to use."

The old doctor nodded, turned around and went to the medicine cabinet, took out the medicinal herbs, sorted them into categories, and handed them to Feng Qingqing. It cost 12 yuan in total.

Hearing that it would cost twelve yuan, Feng Qingqing felt a little heartache, but considering its intended use, she didn't care.

Feng Qingqing was in a good mood as she walked out of the pharmacy.

I checked the time; it was 10 a.m.

After thinking about it, I went back and discussed it with He Yong'an:

"How about we go to the junkyard and see if there's anything we can use?"

Even so, she still wanted to try her luck in the county town because she had received some good things at the commune's recycling station before.

If you're lucky, you might actually make a profit.

He Yong'an nodded in agreement.

He only came today to accompany Feng Qingqing to buy some things; he didn't have anything to buy for himself.

Moreover, since he will be working in the county, it will be very convenient for him to buy whatever he wants.

Therefore, everything today revolves around Feng Qingqing.

After reaching an agreement, the two headed straight for the scrap yard.

A dozen minutes later, the two stood at the entrance of the scrap yard, where a man in his fifties was guarding the gate.

The old man nodded as he saw the two enter and let them in.

Upon entering the scrap yard, I found it filled with piles of items.

However, the items were arranged according to their properties, and were not haphazardly placed.

Based on her previous experience, Feng Qingqing first went to the furniture area. Looking at the various items scattered haphazardly, she sighed inwardly.

However, they still started sorting through the items one by one.

Ten minutes later.

Suddenly, Feng Qingqing felt a movement in the space in her mind. She was startled, then delighted. Could it be that the space had encountered something it wanted, which was why it reacted?

Puzzled, he then noticed that the frequency of the spatial vibrations was increasing.

At this moment, she also felt anxious, and the frequency of the vibrations showed the urgency of the situation.

She guessed that something that made the space so urgent must be of great use to it.

But as she looked up at the mountain of furniture, a sense of unease crept into her heart.

She didn't know the approximate location of the item that caused the space to vibrate, and how long would it take to search for it one by one?

But there was no other way; though I was anxious, I could only take it one step at a time.

Fortunately, although the space could not provide clear instructions, Feng Qingqing eventually figured out the trick over time.

If she finds the wrong direction, the space will vibrate twice; if she finds the right direction, it will vibrate once.

With this hint, she felt a little relieved.

Seeing the expression on Feng Qingqing's face from a distance, He Yong'an was puzzled and quickly walked over. Feng Qingqing couldn't explain to him at this moment, so she just asked him to move some of the furniture that was in a higher or farther position toward her.

She discovered that only by personally touching the objects could she determine whether space was required.

Moreover, items can only be stored in the space after contact.

Although it's a helpless situation, this is the only way to proceed now.

She wondered if the space would be easier to operate after the later upgrades. Otherwise, Feng Qingqing wiped the fine sweat from her brow in the not-so-hot weather.

The two worked together seamlessly, and after nearly two hours of searching, Feng Qingqing finally found a small stool, after which the space began to vibrate violently.

She glanced at the bench a few times; it was missing a leg and stood there shakily.

She figured no one else would even bother to look at it. Her lips twitched, and taking advantage of He Yong'an's inattention, she moved the stool directly into her spatial dimension.

Only then did he collapse onto a small stool with a sigh of relief.

Slightly out of breath, though physically tired, I felt extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, today's trip to the county scrap yard was actually fruitful. Now, Feng Qingqing is already planning when she can go to the scrap yard in the city or provincial capital.

I'm sure we'll gain even more there.

After resting, Feng Qingqing looked at He Yong'an sitting next to her. Although He Yong'an had participated the whole time, he hadn't said much.

She guessed that He Yong'an must have figured something out.

Indeed, although He Yong'an did not understand why Feng Qingqing was in such a hurry before, and seemed to be looking for something, although he did not know what she was looking for in the scrap yard, it must be very important to her.

So he went up to help without hesitation.

After searching for two hours, they suddenly saw Feng Qingqing's relieved expression. Had they found it?

But Feng Qingqing wasn't holding anything in her hands. She was puzzled, but she didn't say anything.

He knew that Feng Qingqing probably had a secret, but she didn't want to talk about it, so he wouldn't ask or force her.

Feng Qingqing was particularly pleased with this aspect of He Yong'an.

After resting well, I feel much more relaxed.

Feng Qingqing looked at He Yong'an's somewhat dirty hands and said with a smile:

"Let's go, let's take another look over there and then leave."

They had been searching for over two hours; it would be strange if they left empty-handed.

The two browsed through the books again, and Feng Qingqing casually picked up some newspapers and a few high school textbooks before heading towards the gate.

The gatekeeper, seeing that the two had been inside for nearly three hours, and that only the woman next to him had taken a stack of newspapers and two or three books, looked at them with slight surprise. After sizing them up a few times, he didn't say anything, only briefly stating:

"5 cents."

Feng Qingqing quickly took out some money from her pocket and handed it to the old man.

He Yong'an took the book and newspaper, and then the two left the scrap yard.

It was already past noon, and the two of them had only eaten two steamed buns that morning, so they were starving.

But before, Feng Qingqing was only thinking about finding things in the junkyard and didn't realize she was hungry. Now that she was relaxed, she felt extremely hungry.

Suddenly I heard two 'gurgling' sounds, followed by a growl from my stomach.
