This place is not far from the village at the foot of the mountain, only an hour's journey away. Those people were covered in dust and dirt, so Jiang Yan thought they were people from the village at the foot of the mountain who were clearing the land.
Hearing this, several people also relaxed. The middle-aged man who asked the question glanced at Lu Yunsheng behind Jiang Yan, feeling a little alert, and said with a smile:
"That's right. There is too little land in the village to support people, so the secretary asked us to open up wasteland."
Jiang Yan nodded, "Okay, you guys get busy, we have to go collect herbs."
The two of them went around the flat ground and then continued up the mountain along the path.
Watching Jiang Yan and the other person leave and disappear into the bushes, the middle-aged man completely relaxed, exhaled, looked back at everyone and urged: "Hurry up and get to work."
…
Pushing aside the grass with a stick, Jiang Yan chatted with Lu Yunsheng, "Life in this village is really hard. We have to come to the mountains so far to open up wasteland. Even if we grow food, it is not easy to transport it back to the village."
Lu Yunsheng frowned slightly, "There are many villages that open up wasteland in the mountains, but it is rare to see them open up wasteland in such a remote place. I'm afraid there must be something going on."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Yan was surprised and whispered, "Isn't it possible that I have encountered a spy again?"
"They shouldn't be spies." Lu Yunsheng shook his head and thought, "Ignore them. Let's collect herbs first and then go back there to have a look."
Whether it is land reclamation or not will be known at that time. One day is enough for five strong laborers to level the land.
After hearing what Lu Yunsheng said, Jiang Yan felt relieved. As long as he was not a spy, it would be fine. Otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble.
The two men dug herbs as they walked, and the bottom of Lu Yunsheng's backpack was covered with a thin layer of herbs.
Throwing the freshly dug herbs into the backpack behind her, Jiang Yan walked to the front to lead the way, saying as she walked:
"Let's go ahead and take a look. Last time when I was collecting herbs, I found a river valley that was suitable for the growth of herbs, but I was delayed because of the spy matter."
"Let's go check it out this time."
Lu Yunsheng knew that valley, as he had been there during training before. The mountains there were steep and few people went there. It was even difficult to go down to the center of the valley.
"Wife, it's hard to get down to the valley this way. We found a road during our previous training, and it's easier to get down to the valley that way."
"As you say."
After looking at the river valley not far ahead, Jiang Yan turned around and followed Lu Yunsheng in another direction.
There was no road in this direction, and there were weeds and dead branches everywhere. Lu Yunsheng led the way with a stick, and Jiang Yan followed behind him.
After walking for about half an hour, the two came out of the bushes and saw a dense bamboo forest in front of them. From the exposed stones and soil in the forest, they could vaguely see a path.
There was a steep slope of nearly two meters ahead. Lu Yunsheng jumped down directly and turned around to stretch out his hand to Jiang Yan.
"Be careful, there are gravels below, don't scratch your legs."
Jiang Yan walked carefully to the edge of the steep slope, squatted slightly, put her arms around Lu Yunsheng's neck, and was carried down by him.
"This slope is really steep."
After landing, Jiang Yan looked back and saw that there were sharp stones embedded in the soil on the steep wall, which were partially covered by weeds. If you were not careful when coming down, you could easily get scratched.
"This side is not that steep. The direction we went in before had a drop of three or four meters, or even five or six meters. We couldn't go down at all."
"Let's go. The road ahead is not so steep, but it's not easy to walk on either."
