"Wow, that was close! I can't do that again." Xiao Hei looked shaken.
Fang Zhiyi laughed and said, "You have times when you're afraid too?"
"How could I not be afraid? I had a feeling someone was about to capture us, but then they stopped for some reason," Xiao Hei muttered. "You're crazy enough to gamble with your life?"
"I had no choice, after all, it called me master..."
"Stop! What I mean is, it's fine for you to gamble with your life, but to gamble with mine is going too far!"
"Oh, don't be so petty."
"We stumbled in this world last time, and we're doing it again this time. We're not going back no matter what," Xiao Hei said.
Fang Zhiyi did not refute, but instead nodded in agreement.
That world was truly terrifying; it was hard to imagine that those gods had already monopolized the Heavenly Way.
He knew he was completely outmatched by any of those saintly figures who came along.
Looking down at her clothes, Fang Zhiyi paused for a moment: "Stop rambling, it's the plot."
Then Xiao Hei revealed the plot of this world.
Zhang Qingqing was the youngest in the family and also the least favored, so the task of going to the countryside naturally fell to her. Although Zhang Qingqing was unwilling, she dared not say anything.
On the day of departure, most of the other educated youths brought a lot of good things from their families, but she only brought a few changes of clothes and two hardened flatbreads.
On the train, the boy next to her struck up a conversation and generously offered her his milk candy, which touched Zhang Qingqing deeply. Before they even reached their destination, the two had already become acquainted. The boy's name was Wei Xiangyang. Wei Xiangyang said that he came voluntarily because his parents always controlled him at home, and he wanted to go out and see the world.
"There's plenty of room for achievement in this vast world!"
But his illusions were quickly shattered. A dusty country road, a dilapidated donkey cart, and a dark-skinned man warmly urging them to follow.
The group trudged through the mud and shallow water to reach Xiashan Village.
When Wei Kaiyang stepped into the so-called educated youth settlement, his face turned green. How could people live in such a dilapidated place?
Zhang Qingqing also frowned, but she didn't say anything. She just listened silently to the captain's arrangements. She knew that since she was here, she could only obediently accept the arrangements.
There was almost no transition period. After a quick night's sleep, the brigade leader assigned them work the next day. The male educated youth were responsible for plowing the land, carrying water, and hauling manure, earning ten work points a day. The female educated youth had it relatively easier, watering the fields, cutting grass, and feeding the livestock, earning eight work points a day.
