Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Do a Good Deed Every Day

"Yes."

Chen Qing nodded; this thing wasn’t bad.

Among the Extraordinary Plants, there were many aggressive plants; this City Wall Tree Hedge could effectively isolate them.

Plants of Purple Quality, and already grown ones at that, Ming Rang and her group were quite lucky.

Chen Qing didn’t plan to dig up the already grown hedge, as it would waste time and be inconvenient to replant.

Instead of removing this mature one, replanning and starting from a seedling suited Chen Qing better.

"So, do you want this one, or...?"

Ming Rang eyed the hedge with some distress; it was too tall, too large, and its Blood volume was too thick. If she could control the hedge, it would be better.

The issue now was that she had people blocked outside because of the hedge, and due to the hedge, she couldn’t continue exploring further inside.

This City Wall Tree Hedge tightly enclosed the center of the Island. Ming Rang had seen inside, and the stuff was better.

Probably the previous people were blocked by this City Wall Tree Hedge, which is why they hadn’t developed the island further.

The fact that such a resource-rich island could be so easily abandoned until Ming Rang and her group took over, sufficiently proved just how plentiful the resources of the Elemental Sea were.

Mere sight of it was enough to make the residents of the Rich Three Seas salivate, no wonder the Elemental Sea was frequently robbed.

If it weren’t for those pirates desperately dragging good things to their own sea, the Rich Three Seas would surely have perished.

To the Gem Sea, Plant Sea, and Elemental Sea, pirates were despised like locusts, harmful villains; but for the Rich Three Seas, they were a hope.

If the Rich Three Seas had even a bit less power, the pirates of the Rich Three Seas would dare occupy the nest like a dove taking over a magpie’s nest, driving all the residents of the Wealthy Three Seas to the Rich Three Seas.

Unfortunately, the residents of the Wealthy Three Seas were also no simple characters.

Sigh.

Ming Rang brought Chen Qing back to the camp near the beach, where the first group of children had already prepared the night snack.

A child without a mother has to take charge early, a saying that fits perfectly with Chen Qing, Ming Rang, and these children.

Despite their young age, they had mastered a plethora of Skills, with cooking being the basic one.

Seeing the children at the campsite, Chen Qing understood Ming Rang’s situation.

She had a heavy burden, supporting over a dozen children.

The first few Chen Qing saw were already the better-off among these children.

Many more children were severely injured or disabled.

Some were congenital, others caused by entering this world.

No wonder Ming Rang always looked as if she hadn’t woken up; she was the only adult here, with heavy responsibilities.

"Come eat crayfish, we caught them from a creek on the island, they’re not poisonous."

Cuntou, the child, stepped on a stool to raise the dishes onto the table, barely taller than the table itself.

Calling it crayfish was a misnomer; they were native creatures of this world, only superficially similar.

Ming Rang gestured for Chen Qing to sit down, and gradually, many children lured by the fragrance woke up, groggily stepping out of the tents.

These children were indeed very well-behaved, never crying or making trouble; Cuntou and the others skillfully took care of the other children.

They had already passed through the hardest stage. Ming Rang wasn’t about to let them starve; they had plenty to eat and it was quite good.

But for many other things, indeed, Ming Rang had no guarantees, not even for herself.

"Sister Ming, I’ve got everything tidied up."

A child nestled sweetly into Ming Rang’s arms, pointing at the variety of plants displayed inside a nearby wooden house.

"Our Lanbao is really great."

Ming Rang kissed the child on the head, generously praising her, then let her go eat with her sisters.

"As for the value of these things, just pay what you think they’re worth, I don’t really know how much they cost."

"But for that City Wall Tree Hedge, you’ll have to pay more, I’ve got a family to feed, and we’re very poor."

Ming Rang poured a cup of wine for Chen Qing and herself, then downed it in one gulp.

She didn’t have Chen Qing’s identification skills. Except for knowing that the City Wall Tree Hedges were valuable, she really couldn’t determine the value of anything else.

However, Ming Rang knew that Chen Qing was not deceitful; she wouldn’t be at a loss.

After all, aside from manpower, this was a no-cost business venture.

"Do you want money or supplies?"

Chen Qing and Ming Rang sat facing each other, their movements not slow, as a plate of a different-world version of crawfish quickly disappeared.

The group of children nearby were feasting as if in a battle, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Around the campfire inside the camp, the fragrance lingered, and the festive atmosphere was palpable.

They didn’t resemble wanderers lost on a Deserted Island; they seemed more like adults out for wilderness survival with children.

"Supplies, I guess."

Ming Rang pondered for a moment and ultimately chose supplies.

For some reason, she had a gut feeling that a storm was brewing.

"Okay, I’ll get the machinery to send it to the island."

Chen Qing agreed, finished the last crawfish in her bowl, and wiped her hands.

Ming Rang had raised these children very well; they were well behaved.

Since Chen Qing had met them, they had been diligently helping Ming Rang share the workload, doing their own tasks by themselves as much as possible.

A child in a wheelchair was engrossed in fixing a small machine the entire time, only looking up to greet Chen Qing when Ming Rang brought her back.

"Your parts are wrong."

Chen Qing sat in front of the child, pointing out her mistake.

Chen Qing was always gentle with children because human offspring needed protection.

She was very good at practicing all the kind teachings she had received.

Children are humanity’s hope.

This was a sentiment Chen Qing didn’t quite empathize with, but that didn’t prevent her from implementing it rigorously.

"Were your legs like this from birth?"

"Yes."

The child nodded her head and finally managed to fix the flashlight under Chen Qing’s guidance.

When the switch was turned on, the flashlight automatically flew up into the sky, lighting the paths for the camp residents.

With the appearance of something new, the children, unable to contain their curiosity, eagerly displayed it.

Wherever they went, the flashlight shone there, quickly dispelling the darkness.

"Meimei’s legs are congenital; I asked already, it’s hard to treat," Ming Rang said without avoiding the topic in front of her. In this world, medical resources were extremely expensive.

She had inquired about it, she simply couldn’t afford the price; everyone was trying hard to save money to treat Meimei’s legs.

Chen Qing crouched down, briefly checking Meimei’s legs with her hands, then stood up, lit a cigarette, pondered quietly for a long time, and finally slowly exhaled four words.

"It’s not a big problem."

In the eyes of Ming Rang and the others, what seemed like a huge issue, for Chen Qing, was indeed not a big problem.

Although Chen Qing hadn’t specifically pursued a career as a Doctor, she indeed had Level C Medical Skills and Pharmaceutical Skills.

Even if her medical skills weren’t meticulous, she could likewise use mechanical means to enable Meimei to stand.

Chen Qing didn’t see the occasional act of kindness as anything significant; it was just a matter of convenience.
