Su Qingxue walked along the way and took in all the good things she saw.

There were a bunch of pine nuts in the space, and some chestnuts, but not many. They always felt like they were not ripe enough.

I specially put some of them back when I was going to stew the chicken, and I will pick the rest after they are all ripe.

We did encounter a lot of pheasants and rabbits. We didn't have time to look for the rabbits' nests, so when we found one, we just twisted their necks and put them into the space.

I even came across a sheep whose fur seemed particularly long, but I didn't know what kind of sheep it was, so I just put it into the space.

Thinking of stewing mutton to nourish the body, Su Qingxue planned to dissect it tonight. She felt that she had worked so hard these past few days and she should replenish her body by working.

When she arrived at the cliff, Su Qingxue lay down on it and looked down, but did not see any movement.

I took out my watch and looked at the time. It was already 12 o'clock, and it was almost time for lunch.

Su Qingxue decided to wait a little longer. Those people digging coal inside should go back to eat, right?

It's impossible to eat in that cave!

Su Qingxue summoned up all her patience and lay on top to watch.

After waiting for almost an hour, I saw a few people coming out of their cave. They were covered in dirt and their true faces could not be seen at all.

But they are all tall and strong.

Moreover, they seemed to be in particularly good spirits, not like ordinary villagers.

Su Qingxue was always worried that these were not ordinary people, maybe they were spies?

Or someone involved in the black market?

Only those people who have enough food and drink will take risks to make money.

When I saw them going down the path at the side, I didn't climb down immediately. I planned to wait until they were out of sight before going over.

I watched them walk farther and farther away, turn a corner of a hill, and when they were out of sight, I quickly climbed down.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, he took out a flashlight from the space and walked directly into the cave.

It was pitch black inside, and without a flashlight, it would be impossible to see clearly.

As soon as you enter, there is a big cave with several branching roads on the side. The cave outside is full of freshly dug coal blocks.

Several branch roads should be the channels for them to dig coal.

Su Qingxue looked at the coal piled up in the cave. There were so many of them that it felt like they were preparing for winter.

I even feel that it must be people in the black market who are mining coal, and only they dare to do business so blatantly.

He piled the coal in the corner of the space and went straight into the passage.

The tunnel was not dug very long at all. It might be because the coal reserves in the mine were extremely large, or it might be because it was just discovered not long ago.

After all, there are a few pieces of coal just at the entrance of the cave. If it had been discovered a long time ago, the passage would have been pitch black.

After entering the passage and looking at the dark place in front of her, Su Qingxue tried to use the space to collect the coal. Unexpectedly, she could really collect it. However, it might be inside the mountain, so she could only collect it at a distance of two meters, and she had to feel it with her hands.

He quickly collected a lot of things into the space, and then changed another channel to continue collecting.

Change a few more channels and don’t worry about it being too obvious if you collect a little more.

Su Qingxue stopped only after the space had collected a mountain of coal.

I quickly came out of the space, climbed to the top of the cliff, and couldn't wait to go back.

The pile of coal is missing and will definitely be discovered, so I must take this opportunity to spread the news quickly.

Whether you can get a job depends on whether you are fast enough?

He ran as fast as he could. If he encountered an animal on the road, he would not let it go. He would stop and catch it before continuing to run.

By the time we got down the mountain, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Qingxue ran so awkwardly on purpose, her whole body covered in sweat, pretending to be frightened, and rushed into the educated youth site with a backpack in her hand.

Because at this time most of the people in the educated youth sites had returned.

So after rushing in, they deliberately made a lot of noise. All the educated youth were working in the yard. Looking at the firewood piled in the yard, you can tell that they came back very early and have not been idle at all.

At this time, the other people saw Su Qingxue's appearance and thought something had happened, and they were all shocked.

After all, Xia Yaoyao’s incident had just passed. If something happened again, not only would the people at the educated youth site not be able to accept it, but the people in the village would be even more unacceptable.

Wang Xiaomei and Feng Xue, who were more familiar with Su Qingxue, hurried to her side and patted her back soothingly. "Qingxue, don't worry. What happened? Tell us, and we'll find a solution together."

Others also came over and looked at Su Qingxue with concern.

Although everyone does their own thing at ordinary times, they can still face the outside world with unity at critical moments.

Zhou Huaian frowned and looked at Su Qingxue, the worry in his eyes was clearly visible. His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and his blood vessels were clearly visible.

Su Qingxue looked at everyone's worried expressions and felt that everyone was pretty good. Although they might have all kinds of small thoughts sometimes, they were still very reliable at critical moments.

After taking a while to calm down and catch my breath, he said to them, "I went up the mountain today and walked a little far. I ran into some smugglers. I was really scared. They were all tall and strong. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been discovered by them."

When they heard that they had encountered someone digging illegal coal, everyone became serious. This was simply undermining socialism and such a thing could not be tolerated.

"Su Zhiqing, don't be afraid. Just pretend you don't know anything about this matter. Let's go tell the captain about it and let him intervene."

Ah! So that's it! Do I still have a chance to get a job?

"Okay, thank you, Zhou Zhiqing."

Zhou Huaian shook his head and walked directly out of the educated youth point. He quickly told the team leader about such an important matter.

This is a big event for the entire Erhe Village. If it is confirmed that the coal mine is very large, the entire village will benefit greatly.

"A coal mine has been discovered on this mountain. Someone will definitely come to mine it, or even build a factory here. Then everyone will have a chance."

There were many smart people who soon realized the importance of a coal mine to the village.

Not only Erhe Village will benefit, but several villages in the surrounding area will also have opportunities.

"Qingxue, whether we can take advantage of this wave of benefits depends on the size of the coal mine you found. Whether we can farm or work in the future depends on this wave."

Su Qingxue originally wanted to find a job for herself, but after hearing what everyone said, she suddenly felt that her vision was still too narrow.

This is not just a job issue, even people in the village may go there to work.

But half of the people will definitely stay. After all, there is such a large piece of land here, and it cannot be left without anyone to cultivate it. This is the granary of most places.
