Chapter 6: Living in the Mountains

At this time, the village chief was leading a dozen people to search the mountain.

In a huge deep pit, the educated youth who heard the sound became excited and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Here, here, here we are."

The villagers who heard the noise went in the direction of the sound and saw a big pit and the educated youth who had fallen into the pit.

"Village chief, save us." Cai Chengjie shouted as if he had seen a savior.

He didn't care why the village chief and the villagers suddenly appeared, he just thought that he was finally saved.

Shi Lujing frowned, and immediately saw the pheasant at the feet of the educated youths.

In the end, he chose to turn a blind eye to their attempt to dig into the corner of the socialist wall, and instructed the villagers behind him, "Tie a few rattan sticks and pull them up."

At the same time, I couldn’t understand why, even if they fell into a trap, not everyone would fall in.

Wow, what a talent.

The other villagers stood still, admiring the educated youth's ferocity. Only Liu Daqiang responded actively to Lu Jing's orders.

After all, there is someone there, and we have to rescue him quickly.

When other villagers saw this, they took action and pulled all the educated youth up. They still looked relaxed.

They work all year round and do not take this little physical work seriously. They can even chat and laugh during the work.

Cai Chengjie was a man who knew what was going on. He lowered his head and looked reluctantly at the pheasant that he had caught with great difficulty, but which had caused him and others to fall into a trap. Then he sent the pheasant to the village chief and said with his neck stiffened.

"Village chief, thank you and the villagers for saving us. This is a small gift from us. I hope you can accept it."

The villagers, who had long noticed the pheasants and had been eyeing them covetously, were all delighted when they saw them.

It’s not easy to eat meat these days, and every household can’t eat much meat throughout the year.

There are too many monks and too little meat. Each person can only eat a few pieces of a pheasant, but something is better than nothing.

Shi Lujing put his hands behind his back and did not reach out to take it. Instead, the villagers standing behind him took it with laughter.

He moved very quickly, as if he was afraid that Cai Chengjie would go back on his word.

Shi Lujing pretended not to see this scene.

At this time, Cai Chengjie remembered to ask, "By the way, Village Chief, why did you suddenly come to see us?"

At this time, Lu Jing said, "Meng Zhiqing and Chen Zhiqing came to my house to find me and said that something happened to you."

"So that's how it is." Cai Chengjie nodded, feeling very grateful to the two of them.

If it weren't for those two people, this group of people wouldn't know if they could wait for someone to rescue them today.

At the same time, I was somewhat confused.

How did Meng Ruoxi and Chen Xueying know that something happened to them and others?

If I remember correctly, the two of them were separated from their team a long time ago.

Glancing at everyone, Shi Lujing said, "Okay, hurry down the mountain and don't delay work."

I have no interest in staying with this group of educated youth who are looking for trouble.

Instead of going up the mountain to look for food to satisfy your hunger, you might as well work harder to earn more work points and get more food.

As soon as the leader Shi Lujing left, the villagers followed closely.

A group of people walked away, leaving the educated youth standing there sighing and regretting.

What a pity for the chicken that was so hard to catch.

After resting for a while at the educated youth center, Meng Ruoxi and Chen Xueying went to work.

It was still the same mountain as before. The two of them sat under a tree to enjoy the cool air. In the backpack placed beside them, pigweed was clearly visible.

"Alas." Looking at the rolling hills, Meng Ruoxi sighed.

"Alas." Chen Xueying imitated her and sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Meng Ruoxi asked.

"Then why are you sighing?" Chen Xueying asked.

The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding and laughed at the same time.

The two people who are having fun in misery should not be too happy.

They stopped only after they had laughed enough.

After resting enough, I started working again.

Another afternoon passed by, and when it was time to get off work, the two of them handed in their sickles and backpacks and returned to the educated youth site.
