Chapter 31: Going up the Mountain



Since her parents left home, Jiang Yule didn't like to dress up. Because of poor diet, she was thin and yellow, without any energy. So although she looked beautiful, she was not that attractive. It was strange to say that Jiang Yule became more and more beautiful.

If it weren't for the same facial features, Zhou Jialin would have doubted whether this person was Jiang Yule.

After dinner, Qi Bai and Mu Chuan went home, and Jiang Yule and the others also went back to their rooms for lunch.

After waking up, Jiang Yule got up in a daze. Listening to the sound of chopping wood and the chirping of cicadas outside the house, Jiang Yule suddenly felt as if he was in another world. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched himself. Jiang Yule finally regained some energy, changed his clothes and came out of the room.

"Yu Le has woken up." Zhou Jialin was drawing water from the well. He heard the noise and turned around to see Jiang Yu Le coming out of the house yawning.

"Well, why don't you take a break? It's so hot right now." Jiang Yule said, looking at the sun in the sky.

"I'm used to training in the army, so I can't rest." Zhou Jiashu stopped chopping wood and wiped his sweat with a white towel hanging on the side. The breeze blew, and the shady trees made a rustling sound.

"Your yard is really nice. It's very cool in the summer with the green trees and shade."

"Yeah, I liked this place as soon as I came in. It's all brick and tile houses with high walls. It's comfortable and safe to live in."

"Indeed," Zhou Jiashu nodded thoughtfully.

"Is there anything fun nearby?" Zhou Jialin filled the water tank and started to do nothing.

"I didn't find anything." Jiang Yule thought and shook her head. She had just arrived for a few days and hadn't found any interesting places. Apart from her home and work place, she had only been to the creek on her first day.

"Oh, by the way, Mu Chuan and his friends seem to be going to the mountains to hunt rabbits and pheasants. Why don't we go and take a look?" Jiang Yule suggested. She wasn't interested in hunting, but she was interested in herbs. There should be a lot of good things in such a rich mountain."

"This is great! This is interesting!" Zhou Jialin was so excited that he almost raised his hands and feet to agree.

"Then let's go take a look. Let's just walk around the periphery instead of going into the mountains." Zhou Jiashu looked at the green mountains vaguely visible in the distance and nodded in agreement. If we can hunt some wild rabbits and pheasants, we can make them into jerky and save them for Yu Le to eat.

"Then I'll go change my clothes," Jiang Yule said, then turned back to the house and changed into a light long-sleeved trousers.

"Shall we go?" Jiang Yule came out and went to the storeroom excitedly. He took out two baskets, one large and one small. He gave the large one to Zhou Jialin and carried the small one himself. He also held a small shovel in his hand, waving it back and forth, wondering if he could fill the basket with herbs.

"Let's go!" The two brothers stood on either side of Jiang Yule and walked out of the door, leaving Naonao alone at home to watch the door.

Zhou Jialin walked in front of them with great interest. Looking at his back, Zhou Jiashu suddenly remembered the reason for coming here, so he asked as they walked, "What do you think of Mu Chuan? Can you tell me?"

"Mu Chuan?" Jiang Yule was a little slow to react to Zhou Jiashu's sudden question. After a moment's pause, he suddenly remembered that the two of them had gone out for a while in the morning, so he must have been talking about this. He did not hide it and said frankly, "I think he looks good."

Zhou Jiashu: .....

"So what do you mean? Do you think you can get along with each other?" Zhou Jiashu asked tentatively. This good-looking girl...how should I understand it?

Jiang Yule neither objected nor agreed to this, but simply said, "It hasn't come to that stage yet, let's take it slow."

"I came here this time to tell you about my transfer. This morning, Mu Chuan said he's here and he's reliable, so I wanted to ask about your attitude. If you don't have any feelings for him, then I'll apply as planned."

Jiang Yule quickly refused upon hearing this, "Brother Jiashu, you must not transfer. How many people are trying their best to go to the capital, and your bright future is ruined because of these reasons."

Jiang Yule seemed to be afraid that Zhou Jiashu might have such thoughts, so he added, "Beijing is the political center after all. You will have a good future if you stay there. Now you are the regiment commander, and later you will be the brigade commander, the division commander, or even the commander. Then I will have another backer, right? You can protect me better if you become more powerful."

That way, I, a little loser, can cling to his superiors with peace of mind, Jiang Yule added secretly in his heart:

"But you are here..." Zhou Jiashu was still worried

"Brother Jiashu, it's settled! Besides, I believe in the country. If the country wants to develop, it will definitely need a large number of talents. By then, I will go back, don't worry." Jiang Yule looked at Zhou Jiashu very seriously, and then he didn't want to continue this topic. He called Zhou Jialin and ran after him.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiashu sighed slightly and chased after him.

Jiang Yule is a person who only reports good news but not bad news. If he doesn't come here, he can only keep in touch with Mu Chuan.

After they got to the top of the mountain, Zhou Jialin ran as fast as a monkey heading home. Jiang Yule followed him for a while, but gradually he could no longer catch up with him. He slowly returned to Zhou Jiashu's side and walked side by side with him.

"Zhou Jialin was still limping this morning, wasn't he?" Looking at Zhou Jialin who was having fun in front of him, Jiang Yule shook his head helplessly and complained.

"As for the leg, it is indeed just fine, but it is not to the point of being crooked. I guess it is because he is used to having crooked legs at home." Zhou Jiashu thought about what happened at home in the past few days and couldn't help laughing.

"Pretending to be kidnapped? What happened?" Jiang Yule asked in confusion.
