Gu Yulan's matter was settled, and she no longer came to Zhengjiatun to look for Chen Hao. Perhaps she felt ashamed! This made Chen Hao feel a lot more relaxed.
As May approached, a lot of work began to be done in the fields. Sun Yuqi, wearing a straw hat, was weeding in the cornfield with Lu Yao, Chu Yan and others. Having been there for a while, Lu Yao had gradually adapted to the daily work. This kind of work was nothing for Sun Yuqi, and she finished it very easily. She also helped Lin Muren or Lu Yao with their work every time, so they all got full work points every time.
After work that day, it was still early, so Sun Yuqi decided to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and see if there were any pheasants or rabbits to improve her life.
Lu Yao insisted on going too, and followed Sun Yuqi up the mountain with a basket.
After going up the mountain, Lu Yao complained that there were not many wild vegetables to be found.
"These villagers are really taking advantage of the situation! Look, there aren't many wild vegetables left now."
"It's the lean season now, and we still have to wait a few months for new food! Right now, everyone needs to dig up as many wild vegetables as possible and eat less grain!"
"Let's go a little further inside and see if we can find any wild vegetables. Besides, we saw pheasants and rabbits outside."
As soon as Lu Yao heard this, she knew that Sun Yuqi wanted to go hunting and immediately became excited.
"Yuqi, I also got some salt and seasonings. If we catch a pheasant or rabbit later, can we roast it in the mountains and eat it before going back? I really miss the roasted rabbit we ate last time. It was delicious."
Sun Yuqi stared at Lu Yao speechlessly. It turned out that she followed him up here just to eat roasted rabbit meat.
"Well, that's if we can hunt a hare."
But it must be said that the two of them were quite lucky. Sun Yuqi soon hunted two wild rabbits. The two finally decided to roast one here and eat it, and take the remaining one back later. In the evening, they would invite several educated youth to eat it. However, one wild rabbit was a little too little and was not enough for so many people.
Finally, Lu Yao was responsible for roasting the rabbit, while Sun Yuqi looked around to see if she could hunt some more wild animals.
Sun Yuqi walked around and caught three more wild rabbits. Together with the previous one, it was enough for everyone to eat in the evening. Just as she was about to go back, she saw a person lying on the ground not far away.
Sun Yuqi hesitated for a moment before walking over. She saw the man, dressed in military uniform, lying on the ground with a bleeding wound on his abdomen. She didn't go over to check on him, but instead looked around cautiously. After she saw there was no danger, she walked over to take a look. She discovered the man had been shot. Judging by his attire, he looked like a serving soldier, perhaps in his thirties. Sun Yuqi couldn't say for sure, but the man had very dark skin, a bronze-black.
After thinking about it, she decided to save him, but it seemed that she was powerless to heal the gunshot wound, and she had no surgical tools, so it was impossible to remove the bullet.
Sun Yuqi quickly returned to Lu Yao.
"Lu Yao, hurry down the mountain and find the captain. Tell him we encountered a wounded soldier on the mountain. Tell him to send someone to report to the commune immediately and bring someone to carry the soldier down. Remember, they'll need a stretcher."
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and ran down the mountain with the half-roasted rabbit.
Sun Yuqi has quite a bit of respect for soldiers. Looking at the soldiers' appearance, she was afraid that they had been injured while on a mission and had run into the mountains. Since she had met them, she would definitely save them, as these people had shed blood for the country.
Seeing that his wound was still bleeding, Sun Yuqi took out a piece of cloth from the space to stop the bleeding temporarily. In order not to expose her own space, she had no choice but to do so. Lu Yao knew that she didn't bring that many things.
But after half an hour, Sun Yuqi heard a commotion and knew that the captain had brought people with him.
Sun Yuqi waved in the direction of the people coming, and soon Zheng Chengwei came over with a dozen young men. He first looked at the injured soldiers on the ground, and immediately ordered several young men to carry the people down the mountain quickly. Then he looked at Sun Yuqi and said.
"Sun Zhiqing, why did you and Lu Zhiqing come here? This place is not close to the foot of the mountain."
Lu Yao was embarrassed to continue.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I was a little greedy, so I asked Yuqi to take me up the mountain to see if I could catch a rabbit or something."
Zheng Chengwei said in a serious voice.
"Nonsense! Don't you know it's dangerous here? Our ancestors have always said that there's something on this mountain."
Although Zheng Chengwei didn't say it explicitly, Sun Yuqi still understood the meaning behind his words and spoke hurriedly.
"Captain, we really don't know what's going on here. We came here today because we couldn't find any wild vegetables on another hillside."
Watching the young and strong men carrying the soldier down the mountain, Zheng Chengwei whispered.
"Legend has it that this mountain is extremely spooky. People who have visited it have gone insane after returning from it due to shock. Almost no one has come here in recent years. You should all hurry back with me!"
After saying that, he chased after the people in front. Sun Yuqi looked at Lu Yao and found that the girl's face was a little pale, so he hurriedly said.
"Let's go back soon. It's better not to come here again."
The two followed the team leader down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they told Director Chen and others from the police station that they had arrived. Also accompanying them were doctors from the town's health center, including Sister Cheng and Comrade Gao.
When Sister Cheng saw Sun Yuqi, she just nodded slightly but didn't say anything. After Sister Cheng and the others saw the injured person being carried down and checked him, they spoke.
"It's fine for now, but you need to be transferred to a health center as soon as possible. The conditions here don't allow for surgery."
Zheng Chengwei gave some instructions and then drove the ox cart to take the injured to the hospital.
Director Chen stayed and found Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao to ask some questions. After that, he went straight back to the commune.
After seeing everyone off, Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao returned home.
Lin Muren and Chen Hao went to the commune and have not returned yet. Sun Yuqi was picking up the few wild vegetables she had dug today. Suddenly, her vision darkened and she looked up to see Chen Zhiqing standing in front of her.
"Chen Zhiqing, what's up?"
Chen Lixiang smiled and looked at Sun Yuqi.
"Sun Zhiqing, don't you remember me? But I still remember you!"
After hearing what Chen Lixiang said, Sun Yuqi was stunned. To be honest, after Chen Lixiang came, he and she were just acquaintances, and they rarely talked. However, Sun Yuqi's personality was not very warm, and she was basically very dull. Only Lin Muren, Lu Yao, Chu Yan and Wu Lanlan were relatively warm.
