After a heavy rain, the weather became a little cooler. It was September and the autumn harvest was about to begin. During this period, the team leader Zheng Chengwei also began to arrange the autumn harvest.
Although it has been a month since the beginning of autumn, the weather is still very hot during the day, but it is a little cooler in the morning and evening.
The autumn harvest started today. Sun Yuqi and several other female educated youth were assigned to the cornfield to pick corn. This job was not very tiring for the waist, but the cornfield was so airtight that it was still a little unbearable to work with the heat.
After this period of time, Lu Yao has adapted to working in the fields, and her face has been tanned to a wheat color. This is what bothers Lu Yao the most. She envies Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren the most. The two of them can never get tanned no matter how much they are exposed to the sun, and their faces turn red when exposed to the sun.
Sun Yuqi carried the basket and carried the corn out of the cornfield and placed it on the open space beside the ridge. Later, some male educated youth would come and carry the corn to the wheat field.
She approached the cornfield again with the basket in her hand. Just after a few steps, she saw Chen Lixiang coming over with a shoulder pole. Putting down the empty basket, Sun Yuqi looked around and found that there was no one around. She quickly took out some glutinous rice noodles from the space and stuffed them into Chen Lixiang's hand.
"If you're hungry, eat something first. I see you didn't eat much this morning. Don't starve."
Chen Lixiang took the glutinous rice noodles and quickly stuffed them into his mouth, speaking incoherently.
"Thank you. It's almost time to get off work. You should take it easy and don't overwork yourself. We don't rely on these work points to make a living. It's better to save some energy and let others do it!"
Sun Yuqi smiled when she heard that.
"I see. No matter what, we have to do something. It's not good to do nothing at all."
After seeing Chen Lixiang off, Sun Yuqi picked up the basket and started picking corn again.
It took more than ten days for the autumn harvest to be over. The rest of the time was spent resting the land. Then we started going up the mountain to look for mountain products and picking up firewood. There was no other way. It was like this here in the Northeast. After the autumn harvest, we had to start preparing mountain products for the winter and also prepare firewood. This was something we couldn't save. Winter was too cold. If we didn't prepare the firewood, we would be the ones who suffered.
Early in the morning, Chen Lixiang came to call Sun Yuqi and others to go up the mountain to collect mountain products and chop firewood. Sun Yuqi had agreed with the other educated youth to go up the mountain together yesterday.
After dinner, a group of people walked towards the mountain. When they arrived at the mountain, they found that many villagers had already arrived, and the hillside was full of people.
"So many people are on the mountain. Are we going to be here too? I guess there's nothing left?" Zheng Rongrong said with a frown.
Zhang Jianlin glanced at me, Zheng Rongrong, his face flushed a little, and he quickly turned away.
"Why don't we go into the mountains? There are indeed too many people here."
Qiao Jianguo Road.
"Let's go, let's go into the mountains, but don't go too deep. There are large beasts in there. Don't encounter any large beasts."
Sun Yuqi, Lin Muran and Lu Yao walked at the back, followed by Chen Hao, Chen Lixiang and Zhang Jiansong.
The group walked into the depths of the forest. Qiao Jianguo took a look and said to everyone.
"Let's just look around! The ladies will be in charge of picking up mountain products. If there are any good ones, they can bring them back. The men will be in charge of chopping wood."
After arranging everything, Sun Yuqi, Lu Yao, Lin Muran and Zheng Rongrong started looking for mountain products together.
Chen Hao, Chen Lixiang and others were chopping wood with axes.
By noon, Sun Yuqi and others had a good harvest. Everyone filled their backpacks and then went down the mountain with the male educated youth who had already chopped firewood.
The mountain road is difficult to walk on and walking is slow. What's more, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. You need to be careful when going down the mountain, otherwise you will fall. Moreover, everyone is carrying mountain products or firewood.
As everyone walked and talked, no one noticed that four wild wolves were watching them not far away.
Sun Yuqi didn't notice that this time she was walking in the front and was the one leading the way down the mountain, and Chen Lixiang was following beside her.
Suddenly, a scream from behind startled everyone. Turning around, they saw Liu Jingjing slumped on the ground, pointing her finger not far away.
Looking in the direction of her finger, everyone gasped, a wild wolf.
Sun Yuqi, Lin Muran, Chen Lixiang and Chen Hao looked at each other and said.
"Everyone, don't panic. Gather together slowly. The male educated youth holding axes should stand on the periphery, and the female educated youth should stand in the middle."
Chen Lixiang's voice brought everyone back to their senses, and they slowly gathered together according to Chen Lixiang's words.
Sun Yuqi took advantage of this moment to take out the dagger from the space and held it in his hand.
I looked at the remaining people. Those who had hatchets were holding them, and those who didn't were holding sticks.
Zheng Rongrong was so scared that her legs went limp at this time, but fortunately she was still calm. Although her hands were shaking, she was still standing. Compared with Liu Jingjing, she was much better.
Sun Yuqi took a look at the wild wolves that were slowly surrounding her. She now knew that Chen Lixiang's martial arts skills were not weak, even stronger than her. In addition, she knew Lin Muren and Chen Hao. The male and female protagonists both had martial arts skills, so these wild wolves were not difficult to deal with. The most difficult thing was to prevent the rest of the people from causing trouble.
"Li Xiang, Muran, Chen Hao, the four of us will each take a wild wolf. Is that okay?"
Lin Muren said with a serious face.
"no problem."
Chen Lixiang glanced at Sun Yuqi. He knew that Sun Yuqi was good at martial arts, so he felt relieved.
"They've already surrounded us, so let's take one each. You all need to be careful."
After saying that, he jumped to the edge of the wild wolf and swung the hatchet in his hand towards the wolf's belly. The wolf was smart and dodged Chen Lixiang's hatchet with a jump, but rushed towards Sun Yuqi.
Sun Yuqi continued, "Leave this to me, go kill the others."
Then he rushed towards the wild wolf. There were only four wild wolves here. Sun Yuqi guessed that these wild wolves should have been driven out of the wolf pack, seeing that they had many bite wounds on their bodies.
When the wild wolf was about to rush to Sun Yuqi, it jumped and bit Sun Yuqi's neck with its bloody mouth. Sun Yuqi dodged and slashed the wild wolf's neck with the dagger in her hand.
At this time, Lin Muren and Chen Hao were each dealing with a wild wolf. Although they did not kill the wolves quickly, they were not injured.
Sun Yuqi dodged the wolf, turned around again and kicked the wolf sideways towards the place where the wolf landed, and kicked the wolf in the abdomen. The wolf howled in pain and fell more than ten feet away. Sun Yuqi jumped towards the wolf again and when the wolf was about to get up, the dagger in his hand slashed across the wolf's neck.
