As soon as he woke up in the morning, Sheng Kangning washed his face.

Then he soaked a small piece of the facial cream in warm water and applied it on his face. After that, he found the two blue scarves he bought before going to the countryside in his luggage. Sheng Kangning took out both and covered his face with one.

The other one was handed to Xu Hongmei.

It was already evening when Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei came back. Few people could see the scratches on their faces clearly, even Wang Juan and the others didn't look at them that carefully.

When Qin Jianing and Zhou Xiaoran walked out of the tent, they passed by Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei and saw the scratches on their faces.

It was indeed very serious, especially for Sheng Kangning, whose face was covered with scratches of varying sizes.

No wonder people use that beauty cream.

Speaking of the beauty cream, Qin Jianing and Zhou Xiaoran also wanted it.

The effect is amazing!

After all this time, apart from the very shallow scar, Wang Juan's face looks as white and tender as a peeled egg.

Who wouldn’t be jealous?

No wonder Wu Xiaohui is always thinking about it.

If Sheng Kangning was willing to sell, every woman on the farm would want it.

Sheng Kangning packed up herself and Xiaobao, held Xiaobao in her arms, and went to the cafeteria with Xu Hongmei. When they got breakfast, in addition to a normal breakfast for each person, Feng Yaozu also gave each of the three of them a boiled egg.

Sheng Kangning looked and found that only the three of them had it, while no one else had it.

Sheng Kangning whispered, "Brother Feng, this is not good!"

Feng Yaozu glanced at the scratches on their faces and said, "Don't worry, eat this. I didn't give it to you. It was Lao Zhou's idea. Eat it. It will last for a week. Just think of it as a way to replenish your body!"

After that, he said to Sheng Kangning:

"The old man said that you should take a good rest these two days. We can talk about acupuncture for him in a few days!"

Sheng Kangning knew that Uncle Feng was worried about her and wanted her to take a break.

But she was really fine. If she was scared, it was only when she saw the person surnamed Xiao.

Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "I know Uncle Feng is worried about me. I'm fine. Tell the old man to come at the same time and apply mugwort to his legs. I'll go over after I'm done here."

Feng Yaozu nodded and said yes.

Sheng Kangning looked back at the cafeteria and asked, "Has Director Zhou not come yet?"

Feng Yaozu hummed, "Old Zhou has started rehabilitation these days, and he comes here ten minutes later than usual every day. Do you have something to talk to him about, or is it about the incident on the mountain?"

Sheng Kangning shook his head:

"It's only a matter of time before we catch the group of people in the mountains. There are soldiers in the army and comrades in the police station. We don't need to worry about it. I want to talk about the matter in the meadow."

"You mean open up wasteland!"

Sheng Kangning nodded: "It's getting colder and colder. It will probably snow soon. Time waits for no one. Once it snows, the weather will get even colder. If we delay any further, we will have to wait until next year. It will take at most four or five days to open up the wasteland."

Feng Yaozu said, "You just encountered this kind of thing. If you ask Lao Zhou now, he may not agree. Why don't you take a break for two days before talking to him."

"I'll ask Director Zhou first when I see him later."

Feng Yaozu looked at Sheng Kangning's face several times. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now it seems really horrifying, with scratches all over his face.

Such a delicate face was scratched like this. If Chu Nanzhou saw it, he would be so heartbroken!

I was worried about leaving scars, so I asked:

"Are you two okay with your faces?"

Sheng Kangning shook his head: "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days!"

Feng Yaozu suddenly remembered something:

"Kang Ning, after dinner, please take some time to go see Duan Xiao'e! Her mother is here, and she's worried about her daughter getting sick, so she's been looking for you several times."

Sheng Kangning smiled gratefully and said, "Thank goodness you mentioned it. Xiao'e does need acupuncture every day."

Feng Yaozu was still busy getting food, so he said, "You guys eat first, Lao Zhou will be here soon!"

Sheng Kangning held Xiaobao and chose a quiet corner with Xu Hongmei to have breakfast first.

While eating breakfast, Xu Hongmei also asked Sheng Kangning:

"We really want to go to the meadow?"

Sheng Kangning nodded: "Wait for Director Zhou to come over and discuss it with him. It would be best if we could transfer some people to the meadow to dig the firebreak first, otherwise we will have to wait until next year."

When Lao Zhou and his son came over, Xiaobao was already full.

At this moment, Xu Hongmei was holding Xiaobao, standing at the food window with Sheng Kangning, and chatting with Feng Yaozu.

Old Zhou first looked at the two people and asked:

"It won't leave a scar!"

If this leaves a scar, Chu Nanzhou will definitely make a fuss when he comes back and sees it!

That kid is not easy to fool!

Damn the human traffickers! It was because his legs couldn't go into the mountains right now, otherwise, Lao Zhou would have personally led the Youth Protection Team into the mountains.

Sheng Kangning shook his head: "No, we applied a beauty cream and it will be fine in a few days. Director Zhou, you guys eat first, I'll find you later to discuss something!"

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "So you guys are waiting for me here!"

Sheng Kangning smiled and nodded.

"Then tell me, what's the matter?"

"Director Zhou, I want to take people to the meadow to dig a firebreak today!"

"Today?" Old Zhou looked at Sheng Kangning and frowned, "You just went through something like yesterday, are you really okay?"

Sheng Kangning shook his head: "It's really okay!"

"That's fine, but we won't be able to transfer too many people to your side. As you can see, the weather is bad and it's going to snow soon. We have to hurry up to transport all the wood back and build the house so that we can all move into the house by the end of the year. The Youth Protection Team is all in the mountains, so there are not many people who can work!"

After Director Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Xu Hongmei and said, "Don't go to Baichuan Forest Farm. Follow Kang Ning to the meadow!"

Xu Hongmei smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her!"

When assigning tasks, Lao Zhou only assigned fifty people to Sheng Kangning and her team.

Before leaving, Sheng Kangning went to Duan Xiaoe first and gave her acupuncture before leaving.

The group took their tools and went to the meadow.

The meadow is just behind the farm, not far away, about half an hour's walk.

When they arrived at the meadow, the fifty people walked in groups of two, from east to west, along the meadow, with a group of about five meters apart.

After arranging the people to dig the firebreak, Sheng Kangning went to collect herbs.

Xu Hongmei followed.

There are also many herbs in the meadow.

The first things Sheng Kangning discovered were a few pieces of calamus. The rhizome of calamus can be used as medicine, which has the effects of warming the stomach, anti-inflammatory and analgesic.

Xu Hongmei dug with Sheng Kangning.

After digging up several pieces of calamus, the two sat on the ground, collected all the rhizomes of the calamus and put them into bags.

After searching this area, Sheng Kangning moved on to the next place and found a field of wild black wolfberries.

This is good stuff.
