Li Xiyue knew that the ground vegetable was shepherd's purse.

But this is the first time I have heard the saying that "eggs cooked with local vegetables are as good as elixir".

Regardless of whether it was a magic pill or not, it was Grandma Yu's token of love for her. Li Xiyue put the egg in her pocket and joined in the fun.

During this festival that has been passed down from ancient times, folks gather together, singing and laughing. The fatigue from work, the trivialities of life, and the conflicts between neighbors are all forgotten at this moment. Everyone opens their hearts and laughs together.

Li Xiyue's mood also fluctuated with everyone's enthusiasm. At this moment, it seemed that all her worries were gone, and there was only laughter and excitement in front of her.

But the joy was short-lived. We had to go to work tomorrow and couldn’t play too late. After laughing and playing for a while, we all dispersed and went home.

In the night, the riverside returned to tranquility, with only the gurgling water flowing far away and never stopping.

Huang Xinrui was very excited and kept chattering on the way back. Wang Jiaxing just looked at her and kept grinning. Li Xiyue looked at how the two of them got along and felt that she was a little redundant. Why?

"Xiyue."

Suddenly, a magnetic voice was heard. Li Xiyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man standing in the night. Moonlight sprinkled on his handsome face, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Deputy Captain Chu." Li Xiyue was puzzled. "Why are you here?"

Chu Xun, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, walked over to her with his long legs and handed the flowers to her. "This is for you."

Huang Xinrui was about to go over with a smile, but was pulled away by Wang Jiaxing.

Li Xiyue took the flowers and saw that it was a bunch of peonies. She said happily, "This is a top-grade Chinese medicine."

Chu Xun: "..."

Indeed, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, everything can be used as medicine.

"You came here so late, weren't you just to give me peonies?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.

Chu Xun coughed lightly and said, "I came here to talk to you about the enemy spies."

"Have you examined it clearly?"

Chu Xun nodded. "Zhao Xiaoli was bribed by the Japanese when she was in the city. Her purpose was to lurk around you and find out about your grandfather. However, as soon as she came down, you took her to the cowshed and she didn't have time to do anything."

Li Xiyue wanted to laugh. Zhao Xiaoli was so stupid and greedy, what kind of information could she get from her?

"Although she failed, her identity as an enemy spy is true and she has been handed over to the public security department."

Li Xiyue nodded and asked, "What about that pheasant? Did he say what his purpose was in getting information about my grandfather?"

"He committed suicide." Chu Xun said in a deep voice, "He had poison hidden between his teeth and committed suicide before the trial."

Li Xiyue was surprised. How come these little Japanese soldiers were just like the death warriors in ancient times, committing suicide before completing their mission?

"Isn't the clue broken?" Li Xiyue frowned.

Chu Xun shook his head. "I have other clues. Don't worry, I'll find them soon."

"Okay." Li Xiyue saw that it was getting late, "You should go back soon."

"Be careful, stay in the village as much as possible, and don't go out."

As long as he stayed in this village, he would be relatively safe and could rest assured.

"I understand." Li Xiyue waved at him and returned to the educated youth site with the flowers.

Chu Xun looked at the night sky, smiled bitterly, and walked away.

"These flowers are so beautiful." Huang Xinrui held the bouquet of peonies and praised repeatedly, "Deputy Commander Chu came to give me flowers so late at night. It's really a gesture of great courtesy and friendship."

"Don't break it for me." Li Xiyue reminded.

Huang Xinrui smiled like an auntie, "You care so much?"

"That's what I use for medicine."

The smile on Huang Xinrui's face froze. Well, she was overthinking it.

The next day, as the work signal was blown, the quiet mountain village quickly became lively. A red glow appeared in the east, indicating that today would be a sunny and nice day.

At the morning meeting, Xu Guoqiang gave a lot of inspiring leadership quotes, and the members started working in high spirits as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The rice was planted yesterday, so Li Xiyue didn't have to go to the fields today. She was assigned to plant peanuts on the dry land.

Part of the dry land in Xujia Village is in the mountains. It should be the wasteland that was reclaimed in the past. It is like a ladder, layer by layer, with its back against the mountain, a stream in the middle, and a mountain on the opposite side. There is also land on the side of the mountain.

Li Xiyue planted peanuts with Su Guixiang's daughter-in-law Gao Qingqing. Gao Qingqing dug the holes and she put the seeds in. They needed to finish planting the entire hillside today.

Li Xiyue counted and found that there were ten plots of land in total, and five of them had to be planted in the morning.

The task was heavy and there was a lot of work to do, so Li Xiyue didn't dare to be lazy. She carried a urea bag filled with peanut seeds in her hand and placed the seeds in the holes one by one.

About three or four seeds are placed in a pit. After she placed the seeds, the members followed and added fertilizer. There were relatively few chemical fertilizers, most of which were used on the rice. Farmyard manure or wood ash was used on the fields.

After the fertilizer was applied, another member dug a hole in the back.

There are four people in a group, and they can work quickly if they work together.

The work was simple, but it was a bit boring to do it repeatedly. After planting three plots of land, Gao Qingqing suggested taking a break, and the four of them stopped to drink water and rest.

"Sister-in-law, how is Tietou?" Li Xiyue asked while sitting on an empty urea bag and drinking some spiritual spring water from the military canteen.

Gao Qingqing wiped the sweat from her head and said with a smile, "It's okay now. We told him that the bad guy who hurt him has been arrested by the police. He's not so scared anymore. He hasn't had a fever for the past two days, but he still has one or two nightmares."

"The child is still young and doesn't remember things. He will forget about it in a few days and everything will be fine." Li Xiyue felt relieved.

Gao Qingqing nodded. "Thanks to you for telling us the truth, otherwise we would still be in the dark and mistake our enemy for our benefactor."

"As long as the child is okay, it's fine." Li Xiyue took another sip of water, feeling all her tiredness disappear. She asked again, "Tietou was so young, why was he alone by the river that day?"

"Well, it's Tietou's dad again. He took him to the river to fish that day, but forgot to bring the net. So he thought of going back and asked Tietou to wait by the river. He thought it was not far from home and everything would be fine." Gao Qingqing complained.

"Don't do this again next time. The child is still young and ignorant. Even if there are no bad guys, he will be afraid of falling down."

Many disasters are caused by being too careless.

Gao Qingqing nodded, "Mom and Dad scolded him, and he promised he wouldn't do it again."

"Ah! There's a snake!"

"Hurry up, someone, Daqiang was bitten by a snake!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the opposite hill.

Hearing this, Li Xiyue shouted to the other side, "Don't touch him, I'll be right over."

I don’t know what kind of snake bit her. If it was a five-step snake, the person would have died before she could get over.

After she finished speaking, she quickly ran down the mountain to the other side.

When she came to the injured man, she saw that his face was pale and his eyes were dull. There were two sharp teeth marks on his ankles, which were obviously caused by a poisonous snake. She asked anxiously, "Did you see what kind of poisonous snake it was?"
