The next morning, Yingbao went to the martial arts training ground as usual to practice with Jiang Jie.

Before noon, Erni ran over to tell her cousin that the Clan Leader had hired a play troupe to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, and they were going to start their performance in the afternoon.

“Let’s go! Let’s check it out.” Erni pulled Yingbao along, not forget to invite Chuchu, “You should come too!”

“You go ahead, I’ll come later.” Chuchu was currently cooking for Master Zhang Meng and some kids and couldn’t leave right now.

Erni didn’t insist, and she ran off to the threshing field with Yingbao.

The threshing field on South Slope was fresh and tidy. The large stone mill was still on the side, and several children were climbing up and down, playing on it.

On the other side of the threshing field, a small tent was set up. An unfamiliar man and woman with four children were tidying up some things.

Erni whispered, “See that tall one? He’s the one who plays the warrior.”

Yingbao looked over and saw a lean, tall teenager handling a red tassel spear.

“Isn’t he good-looking?” Erni whispered to her cousin: “He’s even better looking than Chuyan.”

Yingbao didn’t share Erni’s sentiment that the thin teenager was particularly good-looking, but she didn’t refute.

These performers all wear heavy makeup during their performance, and men can impersonate women.

If the teenager were to dress as a woman, he would probably look very good.

The two sisters watched from a distance for a while before heading home together.

In the afternoon, the area of the threshing field was already packed with villagers before the play even started. Even people from the nearby village came to join the excitement.

The villagers brought stools to claim good spots, the inner circle was taken by Clan Leader Chen’s family.

Chunniang prepared dinner early in anticipation, and once everything was cleaned up after her family’s meal, she hurriedly brought her children and the two sister-in-law to the play.

Yingbao didn’t want to go and chose to stay home.

In her previous life, she had seen all types of plays, and this type of crude troupe with simple props and costumes didn’t pique her interest.

However, not watching the play let her watch the bustling scene from home. Sitting on her home’s fence was cool and had fewer mosquitoes, an ideal spot for enjoying the breeze and scenery.

Yingbao climbed the steps on to the fence.

A bamboo bed and a few mats were set atop, which were brought by the family member for cooling off.

Sitting on the bamboo bed, as the twilight gradually fell, she clearly saw several lanterns hanging in the middle of the threshing field. Some performers played drum and flute while two others were acting out a scene.

The cool breeze occasionally carried fireflies that blinked on and off randomly on the fence.

Yingbao let her consciousness sink into her inner world and scanned it once before coming out. She picked up an apple to munch on.

As the moon climbed from the tree branches to the top of her head, the play finally ended, and the villagers reluctantly left.

Some people stayed directly in the threshing field, laying an old mat on the ground. A few children wrapped in an old quilt lying on the mat, taking the cool evening air.

Sitting on the fence, Yingbao watched the dispersing crowd and suddenly noticed several figures sneaking into their orchard.

Those shapes didn’t look like adults but rather a group of children, and they also seemed like children from other villages.

Because the children in her village had great respect for her dad, Jiang Sanlang, and revered her as a little fairy, they wouldn’t dare to venture into the orchard to steal fruit.

So these rascals must be the naughty boys from another village.

Yingbao cleared her throat, stood up, and shouted towards the direction of the orchard, “Catch the thief! Someone is stealing fruit from the orchard!”

Her shrill voice echoed far from her high vantage point.

She didn’t need to shout a second time, as quite a few people began running towards the direction of the orchard as if really going to catch a thief.

Yingbao chuckled mischievously, shaking her fan, she hopped down from the fence and went back to her room to sleep.

The days flew by and before they knew it, it was August.

Yingbao had by now become familiar with most of the medicinal herbs in Doctor Li’s pharmacy.

At the same time, she had taken pulses of many patients, made accurate diagnoses, and even helped in writing prescriptions.

Doctor Li was extremely satisfied with his young apprentice’s learning ability, often using her as a model to motivate his grandchildren.

Li Xihua could no longer afford to be negligent and studied diligently, memorizing books and prescription formulas every day.

One day, Doctor Li suddenly brought two girls into the pharmacy and said to his grandchildren and Yingbao, “These two will also be apprentices here, so you guys should look after them.”

Yingbao was stunned.

Chen Tiantian and Chen Zhao were acting crazy; they actually wanted to be apprentices too?

It’s not that she didn’t want others to join, but this situation was too strange.

Why couldn’t she get rid of the people from the Chen Family?

In her past life, she didn’t learn medicine, and these two didn’t either. Now, they were coming in droves.

Chen Tiantian smiled at her and said, “Sister Yingbao, please take good care of us.”

She then turned to Li Xihua and said, “And also you, sister Xihua, please look after us. I’m new here and don’t understand many things, so I will be relying on you two.”

Chen Zhao also politely smiled at them without speaking much.

Li Xihua, very curious, asked Doctor Li, “Grandfather, how come they want to be apprentices too?”

We haven’t had any female apprentices in so many years, but this year we’ve taken in three at once.

Doctor Li replied, “I have a disciple in Prefecture City, and he sent me a letter asking me to teach these two some medicine.”

Li Xihua: “I see.”

She asked Chen Tiantian, chuckling, “What’s your name, sister?”

Chen Tiantian pointed to Chen Zhao, responding, “My name is Chen Tiantian, and her name is Chen Zhao. We are cousins.”

Chen Zhao, gave her a white eye, and turned her head to check out the pharmacy.

Chen Tiantian didn’t care, holding onto Li Xihua and asking her various questions.

Yingbao, on the other hand, continued to browse through the medical book.

Chen Zhao approached her and asked softly, “Jiang Yingbao, what are you reading?”

Yingbao closed the book and pointed at the title, saying, “You can see for yourself.”

She didn’t want to have any interaction with the Chen Family at all.

Even without the plots from novels, she didn’t have any good feelings toward them.

Chen Zhao glanced at it, smiled slightly, and purposely asked, “Can you understand it?”

Yingbao looked at her and replied, “As long as I understand more than you.”

“Hmph,” Chen Zhao snorted lightly and walked to Li Xihua, saying, “Sister Xihua, Jiang Yingbao said she knows much more than you do.”

Li Xihua was taken aback.

Yingbao, who had been keeping an eye on Chen Zhao, walked up to her when she heard what she said, and angrily said, “Say it again!”

Chen Zhao laughed, “Look, sister Xihua, she’s angry because”

Before she could finish her words, her hair was grabbed by Yingbao, and with a swift move, she was thrown heavily onto the ground.

Chen Tiantian screamed and quickly pulled the stunned Li Xihua to the side.

Li Xihua’s two brothers were also shocked and forgot to come over and stop the fight.

Yingbao pressed her knee against Chen Zhao’s throat and pointed a brush at her face, “You say it again! If you make up one more word, I’ll draw a turtle on your face that you can’t wash off for the rest of your life!”

In her past life, Chen Zhao instigated this kind of trouble. The best way to deal with this was to teach her a lesson.

Even though Chen Zhao tried to resist, she ended up crying and screaming for help.

But after a long time, nobody came to her rescue. Instead, she got a few harsh jabs on her face, which hurt a lot.

Chen Zhao was really frightened this time and stuttered, “I, I was just joking, you, you actually hit me, boo hoo hoo”

Only then did Yingbao get up and kick her again, “You better change your habit of stirring up trouble, or you’ll get beaten up again!”

Then she turned to Chen Tiantian.

Chen Tiantian flinched and quickly hid behind Li Xihua.
