On the third, fourth and fifth days of hiking, Zhang Qiurui would buy some mountain products in the trading supermarket, take them out and take them back.

Things like red dates, eggs, and wild rabbits. She also got two blocks of raw honey and asked her father to extract the honey, and got one and a half pounds.

In addition, she also got a few Ganoderma lucidum. If their mountain did not produce ginseng, she would have bought a few ginseng from the trading supermarket and brought them back.

As for the production team's hunting, they harvested about a thousand kilograms of game on the first day, another thousand kilograms on the second day, about eight hundred kilograms on the third day, five hundred kilograms on the fourth day, and only about four hundred kilograms on the fifth day. The hunting was originally planned to last seven days, but as the amount of game harvested became less and less day by day, the production team ended the hunting.

Team leader Xu Qunyi saw that there were fewer hunts this year than in previous years. He guessed that it was probably because of the disaster last year, which caused a sharp decline in the number of wild animals in the mountains. In addition, with winter approaching, many animals began to hibernate or migrate to warmer places, making hunting much more difficult.

Xu Qunyi was well aware of the laws of nature and was unwilling to make excessive demands so as not to destroy the ecological balance of the mountains and forests, so he decided to end the mountain-clearing activities early.

Zhang Qiurui expressed his understanding of the production brigade's decision and also felt a little relieved.

She is well aware of the preciousness and limited nature of forest resources, and that overhunting will only make the land even more barren.

As for the distribution of meat, the Zhang family got 33 kilograms of meat. In addition, the brigade invited Zhang Wenmin to work in the mountain and promised to give him 30 kilograms of meat. This time, their family got 63 kilograms of meat.

Together with the five wild boar cubs and porcupine caught by Zhang Qiurui, as well as the pheasants and rabbits bought from the trading supermarket, their family obtained hundreds of kilograms of pure meat during this hunting trip.

In the past few days, their family has been eating meat almost every day, which makes the children very happy. It is almost like celebrating the New Year every day at home these days.

Xingcheng City, editorial department of Xiaoxiang Magazine.

Xie Yu was reviewing submissions from all over the country. After a few days at the beginning of the month, she hadn't found any particularly eye-catching manuscripts.

The contents of the manuscripts were mostly bland or lacked depth and novelty. In addition, their magazine was a comprehensive publishing house that was neither biased towards poetry nor novels, resulting in their magazine being neither good nor bad and not having many contributors. This made Xie Yu a little disappointed.

"Xiaoxiang Qingkong, is this a submission from a local?" When Xie Yu was checking a manuscript, the title "The Mistake in Luck" looked very literary. After checking the author's name, it was written as Xiaoxiang Qingkong. As a native of Xiaoxiang Province, his first instinct was that the author who submitted the manuscript was from this province.

As an editor in Xingcheng, Xie Yu always has a special interest in and expectation for authors from her province. She thought that perhaps this "Xiaoxiang Clear Sky" could bring her a different kind of surprise.

She read the manuscript of "The Fault in Our Luck" carefully.

As the text flowed, Xie Yu was deeply attracted by the plot of the article. The author depicted the inner world of the characters with delicate brushstrokes, telling a story about love, life and death between two teenagers with cancer.

It's not about unrequited love, but about separation between life and death.

That kind of helplessness and sorrow is like the slowly falling dead leaves in autumn. Although light, it carries the weight of the season, making people involuntarily immersed in it and resonate with it.

As Xie Yu read, she couldn't help but slow down her breathing, fearing that any sound she made would disturb this quiet and profound emotional exchange. As she read slowly, her tears fell unconsciously.

The boy and girl in the article met by a trick of fate. They experienced together the pain of treatment, the ups and downs of hope, and the fear of facing an unknown tomorrow. However, during these difficult days, they found each other and the meaning of life.

Their love goes beyond simple companionship and becomes a kind of spiritual redemption. It is the only light that keeps each other going in the darkness.

Xie Yu was deeply moved by this deep friendship.

However, good times are always short-lived. As the hero's condition worsens, they begin to realize that the days of their reunion may be numbered.

"Did he die in the end? This story is based on a true story." After reading the last page, Xie Yu closed the manuscript with mixed feelings. She marveled at the author's deep affection and sincerity, yet also felt sorry for the story of these two young people.

What made Xie Yu sigh even more was that this story was adapted from a true event, which made Xie Yu fall into deep thought.

She imagined what the young couple were like in real life, perhaps they were struggling hard in the torrent of life with dreams and hopes. But in the end, fate seemed to have no mercy on them, and this beautiful relationship ended in tragedy.

A strong urge surged in Xie Yu's heart, and she wanted to know more about the young couple.

"No, it seems there is a page at the end." Xie Yu calmed down, thought of something, and quickly turned to the last page of the pile of manuscripts.

"'To the Oak Tree', 'Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom' and 'Homesickness' are actually three poems." Xie Yu checked them one by one.

Soon she discovered that these three poems were not just a combination of words, but also the crystallization of emotions and philosophy.

"To the Oak" shows women's independent and equal pursuit of love with its unique view of love, which makes Xie Yu sigh at the tenacity and affection in the poet's writing.

"Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" carries a warmth and hope that transcends the world. The sea described by Haizi seems to be able to wash away the dust in people's hearts and give people infinite imagination and yearning.

And "Homesickness" makes people feel Yu Guangzhong's deep attachment and reluctance to his hometown between the lines.

Xie Yu looked at the three poems carefully, his eyes flashing with wisdom and emotion.

She realized that the value of the manuscript far exceeded her expectations.

"He is really a local, and his address is a shoe factory in Sha County." When Xie Yu saw that the return address of the manuscript was Sha County, she felt a sense of familiarity.

"Xie Yu, it's time to eat. Do you want me to heat up some food for you? Hey! Why are you crying? Have you found a good manuscript?" Another editor at the magazine originally wanted to invite Xie Yu to eat, but after looking up and seeing Xie Yu's red eyes and traces of tears, the editor quickly understood.

Editors like them, who review manuscripts with rich emotions, often receive moving manuscripts during their review process. These words are like sharp blades, gently tracing the heart and bringing tears to the eyes. Xie Yu was clearly deeply moved by such a manuscript.

"Yes, I found a really good manuscript. The story tells a story about love, life, and death between two teenagers with cancer. The resilience and warmth revealed between the lines are really touching.

"You go eat first! I'll go find Editor-in-Chief Xin." Xie Yu said, then stood up and walked towards an office.
