Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 316: I Don’t Care What You Think

It was still alright not to look, but seeing Xiao Kang’s dreamy expression and actions caught them off guard.

"Mine, mine, it’s all mine..."

He not only spoke but also reached out, making a gesture as if gathering things into his arms.

Lin Qiu Ping scratched his head, feeling as if he had grown a new brain.

"Hypnosis..."

Pausing, he still pressed down his voice to express his doubt, "Is it this intense?"

Having witnessed it once before, Wen Shi and He Yunsong exchanged a look and sighed.

It’s indeed quite intense.

And precisely because it’s intense, it’s concerning.

Lin Qiu Ping and the others didn’t know about the two’s concerns; at this moment, he and Qi Zhiyuan were staring unblinkingly at Xiao Kang’s performance.

As they watched, Qi Zhiyuan suddenly spoke, "Will Xiao Kang be alright this time?"

Who knew that.

However, "We’ll find out if he’s alright when he wakes up and tries it."

Immersed in the joy of harvesting, Xiao Kang was ecstatic, looking at the bountiful orchard and the ground covered with rice, noodles, biscuits, and other foods. He felt like a mouse that had strayed into a granary.

He looked left, looked right, then turned his head around, and when he saw no one nearby, he burst into laughter.

"So much food, it’s all mine, bring it back, bring it back. Back home, mom won’t go hungry, my younger siblings won’t cry from hunger..."

He happily scooped up a sack and began to load it, filling one sack after another, all the way from the orchard to the cave, which was as old and cramped as ever, but less dark and brighter.

However, that’s not the point; the point is that the cave had food and water.

He cheered again and rushed over, pulling out a sack to fill, only to hear a snapping sound, and everything before him shattered like a mirror and disappeared.

He dazedly came back to his senses, with Yi Chichi’s gentle smiling face in front of him.

"Are you awake?"

She asked with a smile.

Xiao Kang hadn’t yet reacted to what had happened when Wen Shi and the others rushed over like a couple of overexcited dogs, "Kang, what did you actually see?"

They had just seen the boy continuously giggling foolishly and mumbling that the food was all his, gesturing wildly, making them immensely curious.

"Orchard, orchard."

A smile reappeared on his face, a bit nostalgic, "I’ve never seen so many kinds of orchards, every fruit tree was laden with so many fruits, weighing down the branches."

Yes, there were indeed quite a lot.

Such a scene, not just Xiao Kang, even they would be grinning from ear to ear.

A bountiful harvest signifies abundance; it’s genuinely worth celebrating. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"And then?"

"Rice and flour piled all over the ground, I filled bag after bag, couldn’t finish filling, just couldn’t finish..."

He slapped his thigh, a bit frustrated, "It would have been great if you guys were there, you could help me pack, enough for us to eat for a long time."

The idea is nice, but it’s not feasible.

"Anything else?"

"There was more, I went to the cave..."

He stopped there, looking at Yi Chichi with a strange expression, "Sis, I think, I think I’m not afraid of that cave anymore."

Yi Chichi replied with a hum, it’s normal not to be afraid, because the unpleasant memories of the cave were modified and covered with the beautiful fantasy she created.

To reinforce her memory of the beautiful cave and weaken the dark cave’s memory, she strengthened the psychological suggestion during the guidance process.

Therefore, when Xiao Kang now talked about the cave that once frightened him, he found it wasn’t so scary after all.

However, nothing is absolute, and this was her first time performing memory alteration on someone, to be sure of its complete success, it still needs to be tested.

"Don’t get too happy yet, you need to go to a confined space to verify it first."

Saying this, she looked at Wen Shi and the others, "Is there a space that’s narrow, dark, and enclosed?"

The image of a little black room immediately popped into Wen Shi and the others’ minds.

But upon reflection, they felt it wasn’t quite right.

Although called a little black room, it wasn’t actually a little black room in the true sense.

It was a place for confining and adjusting the psychology of misbehaving or mission-executing soldiers, with all the necessary amenities.

Honestly, it wasn’t dark and cramped.

"I remember..."

Just as everyone was at a loss, He Yunsong reminded, "The mech repair shop has something that meets the conditions of being dark, narrow, and enclosed."

Yi Chichi opened her mouth to ask what it was but swallowed the words because of Wen Shi and the others’ sudden realization.

Then—

"Let’s go, let’s try it now."

"Yes, we must try."

If this works for Xiao Kang, the situation of several other similar soldiers can be improved; it’s a good thing for them.

So, the few people eagerly got up to set off.

"Wait."

Seeing that she might be left behind, Yi Chichi quickly called out to remind them, "You have to take me with you, in case there’s a problem, adjustments can be made in time."

With that, the few of them suddenly looked troubled.

Yi Chichi understood instantly, this must be because the mech repair shop is a confidential area where non-active personnel are not allowed to enter.

"Can’t there be a compromise?"

Wen Shi and the others shook their heads, there really wasn’t a way to compromise.

"Then you need to test in another environment, someone must be by Xiao Kang’s side."

"What happens if no one’s there?"

"It could revert to the original state, or there’s a chance it might worsen."

This is a bit difficult, but honestly, it’s still manageable.

Though—

"Should we find the leadership together?"

Qi Zhiyuan looked at Wen Shi and the others and suggested.

Yi Chichi kept silent; at this time, it wasn’t suitable for her to speak; being a quiet observer waiting for an answer was enough.

Lin Qiu Ping looked at the time, "Going to find the leader at this time, I’m afraid of being scolded."

"We’re doing proper business."

Wen Shi spoke matter-of-factly, "You’re afraid of staying alone, so we’re going."

He Yunsong disagreed, "Then it should be you and Old Qi going, I’m not part of your group."

Theoretically speaking, different groups were like brothers but also competitors.

Therefore, "I think I don’t need to go."

Qi Zhiyuan snorted, "That’s crap, I don’t want what you think, I want what I think you should go together."

Wen Shi chimed in, "Right, unless you don’t want the condition of the few soldiers in your group to improve."

Xiao Kang felt they were talking about him, didn’t dare to make a sound, and guiltily hugged his small self.

It was all his fault; if only he had been more capable, the leader wouldn’t have to worry about him.

Wen Shi was sensitive to emotions and immediately noticed his mood change, seeing his dejected expression, he lifted his hand and smacked his shoulder, "Stop overthinking all the time. This isn’t what you wanted, we solve problems if there are any. It’s really not worth feeling bad about."

He Yunsong nodded in agreement, "Old Wen is right, Xiao Kang, you have to remember that if there’s no light from the east, the west will shine; at worst, if the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up, and besides, you’ve solved your problem."

This kid was a bit slow, Wen Sheng blurted out without thinking, "Sis said it still needs to be tested."

The implication being: Without passing the test, the problem isn’t considered fully resolved.
