The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

"It worked." Dao Xuzi's voice carried a hint of excitement.

Yang Ruxin quickly looked over, and sure enough, although the two people were still covered in blackness, the color had lightened considerably. They were somewhat exhausted, but their eyes were open, and it was clear that their gaze had become much sharper.

Dao Xuzi gave the two of them acupuncture and then fed them medicine pills to stabilize their condition. The two finally recovered a bit, but at the same time, a wave of drowsiness overcame them, and they quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"The situation is much better than we expected." Tang Wanqian checked their pulse, his face showing traces of relief.

"Does this mean they can live like normal people?" Yang Ruxin's eyes lit up.

Dao Xuzi shook his head. "We don't know yet; we'll need to observe for a while longer."

That day, Dao Xuzi and Tang Wanqian stayed in the stone cave to closely monitor the reactions of the two herbalists. Yang Ruxin left them with enough food before heading home.

According to Dao Xuzi's estimate, the two would sleep for at least three days, so any decisions would have to wait until then. During this period, it was sufficient to ensure food and water were delivered to them.

This task was handed to Shadow Eight, whose surname was taken from his master, Gu Qingheng. Shadow Eight, as an orphan, was also named by Gu Qingheng. He was not only responsible for delivering meals but also for reporting any developments within the cave back to Yang Ruxin.

Ever since Yang Ruxin suggested building a school, the village had taken the matter seriously. The village head, Yang Mancang, specifically gathered several clan elders and Xiaobudong Village's Lizheng to discuss the proposal. Once the village had a school, its status would greatly improve.

Xiaobudong Village certainly wouldn't want to be left behind.

Thus, the school was named Budong School.

The location was set between Dapu East Village and Xiaobudong Village, with both villages sharing the space equally. The area was quite expansive. Silver for construction was provided by Yang Ruxin, as were the blueprints for the school building. However, the labor for construction was to be supplied rotationally by the two villages. Later, funding for teachers and essentials like study materials was also covered by Yang Ruxin. Nonetheless, all matters regarding the school were ultimately decided by her.

Although Yang Ruxin had absolute authority over the school, she rarely had the time to manage it, so she entrusted the village head to handle all affairs. Her third great-uncle and fourth great-uncle even showed unprecedented enthusiasm, volunteering to help with the construction work.

Yang Ruxin was naturally pleased with their initiative.

Of course, there had to be rules for the school. From the outset, Yang Ruxin established various regulations, with the tuition fee being the most discussed.

Yang Ruxin stipulated that the children of Dapu East Village and Xiaobudong Village would pay only 100 wen per month, which included the provision of ink, paper, brushes, and textbooks, as well as a midday meal. Children from other villages, however, would be charged 200 wen.

Moreover, the top five performing students would have their tuition fees waived entirely, and they would receive monetary rewards in varying amounts of silver.

When this news spread, not only were the villagers of Dapu East Village and Xiaobudong Village delighted, but people from surrounding villages were also excited. After all, attending this school meant being close to home. Even paying 200 wen was far cheaper than going to the town school.

The expense of ink, paper, and textbooks alone exceeded this amount each month, not to mention the inclusion of a midday meal.

Amidst the busy season of autumn harvesting, fieldwork, and school construction, news broke from the Yang Family's old house: Yang Baihe had gone missing.
