Song Yining, who transmigrated, thought she was abandoned by her biological parents because she was ugly. They adopted Shen Shiyu, who was born at the same time as her, and the original host was al...
Although Mo Yucheng on the mountain was still very weak after a night, after losing so much blood and having undergone a minor surgery, he looked very haggard.
Mo Chenzhi stayed by his uncle's side all night, watching as his uncle would touch him every now and then. Fortunately, his uncle only developed a slight fever overnight.
After the team members finished their work, they began their journey down the mountain, but because there were injured members, they walked more slowly.
This would ensure that Mo Yucheng's wounds would not reopen. On the way, the Taoist priest from the Sakura Kingdom took advantage of his discomfort and went to the toilet to try to escape.
In his nervousness, he didn't look at the road around him and fell into a forest full of thorns. Little did he know that there was a wolf's den under the thorns.
The wolves scattered in all directions, howling incessantly, clearly terrified.
The wolves inside were so frightened that they scattered in all directions. After a while, they went in and saw that it was a two-legged creature. The wolf alpha saw that it was a human.
Only then did they feel relieved. It was easy to imagine that the Taoist priest's death was imminent, but falling into the wolf's den gave him a chance to survive.
The people on the mountain were at a loss for words. Hearing that there were wolves around, they knew they had to hurry on their way. As for that person, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
Everyone looked at each other, realizing they needed to rest properly in Xiashan before heading to the mountain temple.
Yang Chuhong and Liu E were washing their own clothes. Even though no one was working, other people came to do laundry. They would just greet the two of them and then go about their own business.
Today, Song Yining and Zhang Datao went to the fields, where everyone was discussing matters between the two families, and they were all talking about it vividly.
Song Yining kept looking in that direction, and the idea of going to listen arose spontaneously in her mind.
But when he saw the squad leader coming over, he immediately had the idea of taking a break.
When Zhang Datao saw Song Yining's things, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect you to love a good time. You'll find out everything when we go to lunch. You love Aunt Hua, so you'll definitely come over and share with us. Look how eager you are."
Knowing there was something to eat, Song Yining wasn't in a hurry and quickly got to work.
Seeing that the rapeseed in the field was about to ripen, I knew they would be harvesting the rapeseed soon, and then they would tidy up the empty space.
After everything was sorted out, they collected the ashes from each household to pave the area for spreading the wheat.
The ground, sprinkled with soot, becomes very firm. Round stones are then used to press the ground back and forth, creating a smooth and flat open space.
All the wheat harvested throughout the summer is done there, and the village's cattle are responsible for selling it at the market.
The villagers were responsible for bringing the wheat from the village, which was then spread out on the threshing floor, where oxcarts pulled stone mills along the threshing floor.
In this way, the wheat ears are separated from the straw. People remove the straw, leaving only the hulled wheat ears. In the afternoon, the wheat is winnowed according to the wind direction.
Song Yining heard all of this from Zhang Datao. Song Yining was used to modern times and had never seen the scene during the busy farming season.
Everyone says that the busy farming season is very tiring, but fortunately, my physical condition has improved a lot recently due to my practice, so I can work much better every day now, unlike before when I had to rely on Zhang Datao for help.
Now, Song Yining, though working intermittently, is already on par with the women in the village.
The female educated youth who witnessed this were full of admiration. It took them more than half a year to adapt before they could keep up with the women in the village.
We had snake soup for lunch today, and everyone was very enthusiastic. But looking at that creepy thing, no one dared to cook it. Yang Dashan and Aunt Hua were the ones who cooked today.
Everyone ate together at the brigade headquarters. For their staple food, everyone brought their own flatbread and steamed buns made from three kinds of flour. Everyone had a bowl and waited for the fragrant snake soup.
Even with a large group, everyone could get two small pieces of snake meat, so everyone could enjoy a bowl of snake soup with the steamed buns and flatbreads they bought themselves.
A fragrant aroma wafted over the Yangjia Village brigade headquarters; everyone arrived early, afraid that if they were late, there would be no snake soup left.
Song Yining still didn't really want to eat, remembering the scene of catching those snakes last night while wearing gloves.
I remember it vividly: I made myself a bowl of snake soup, then quickly took it back to Grandma Yang.
Grandma Yang was still teasing her, saying, "You were scared by just a snake soup."
Song Yining smiled awkwardly and went back to her room without saying anything else. Grandma Yang had cooked some food that day, worried that the family wouldn't have enough to eat.
Song Yining ate a little bit as a token gesture and then quickly returned to her room.
The villagers all enjoyed the delicious snake soup and were praising Liu E and Yang Chuhong for their meal. "If we come back to a snake pit like this tomorrow, we can have a piece with every meal. And you know what, their cooking skills are really good. I'm very full today."
Everyone chimed in, "I've eaten there before, but the cooking skills aren't good enough; it doesn't taste as good as theirs."
Yang Xiaoyong and Yang Zhouming carried the snake soup back, only to be met with disdainful looks from Liu E and Yang Chuhong.
The events of this morning are still fresh in my mind, and looking at that snake soup now is truly ironic.
Neither of them touched the snake soup in their respective homes, and they couldn't help but think about what had happened that morning.
In the afternoon, Song Yining was tidying up the new house by herself; the kang (heated brick bed) had been air-dried for several days.
Song Yining then heated the kang (a heated brick bed) for two days to make sure there was no smoke coming out before she felt relieved.
Grandma Yang helped choose an auspicious date, and we're just waiting for the time to officially move into the house.
Almost a month has passed, and there is still no news from Mo Yucheng. Song Yining also knows the duty of a soldier.
They were sure they would be disappointed if they waited for his arrival, as Mo Yucheng was still in the mountains and they would be coming down soon.
After traveling for several days, they finally saw the mountain village, where their car was already waiting for them in Yangjia Village.
After they all went to sleep that night, Mo Yucheng and the others got into the car and went to the city to check on his injuries.
Song Yining knew nothing about these things; they went down the mountain avoiding people.
Two more suspicious-looking people appeared on the other side of the mountain. After seeing that most of the villagers were asleep, the two exchanged glances and agreed to come into the mountain that night.
Unbeknownst to them, a large group of people were following behind them. Based on their analysis during the day, they knew that the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary.
Both families became suspicious and listened to each other's stories in private. That night, Yang Xiaoyong and Yang Zhouming were both on guard and didn't sleep very soundly.
When they heard the faint sound of the door opening, they knew something was about to happen.
The villagers were also betting in private that the two were definitely having an affair, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that both families found snakes on their kang (heated brick bed)?
This incident raises many questions, but they are still very dedicated to maintaining the relatively harmonious atmosphere of Yangjia Village.
We had been keeping an eye on both families all evening, and the moment we heard the door open, everyone was on edge.
Considering what happened during the day, they wouldn't dare go out at night.
