When Lin Xue went back to work, she found many strange people around her.
Some villagers who weren't from the second team also came to their side.
And every now and then you could hear whispers, as if they were talking about themselves.
Lin Xue frowned. She hadn't been causing trouble for anyone in the village recently, so why were these people targeting her again?
Never mind.
Let's finish the work first.
I heard that tomorrow is the market day. Their market in this remote mountain village isn't like other places where it's held every day.
Except on market days, even if you go to the place, there won't be a single person selling things.
Moreover, the markets in the surrounding villages are rotated, so if you want to buy something, you have to walk a very long way to other markets.
Especially since their area is mountainous, you can see mountains as soon as you open the door, and you have to cross mountains and valleys to get anywhere.
It may not seem far, but as the saying goes, "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," it's definitely not close at all.
"Because tomorrow is the market day, I will assign all the work for the day in advance today. Everyone should try to finish as early as possible and get some rest tonight. Those who want to go to the market tomorrow will have to get up early!"
The second team leader spoke loudly in front of the crowd and quickly assigned the tasks.
Lin Xue's task today was to weed the fields. She had a lot to do today, as she was responsible for two acres of land all by herself.
This is a task that requires 10 centimeters.
Lin Xue didn't say anything about the second team leader's assignments; she just did whatever he was told to do.
Anyway, this kind of work is really nothing to her.
Knowing her task, Lin Xue squatted down and began pulling weeds in the ground.
Don't be fooled by how leisurely she pulls each blade of grass; she's actually quite fast.
The villagers watching from afar saw Lin Xue's hands moving quickly, her steps fast, and in no time she had pulled the hoes to the edge of the field.
The speed of this action left the surrounding villagers speechless.
Some who were not convinced began to lower their heads and work hard.
But when they looked up again, they found that the other person had already made two round trips, while they had only just reached the end of their trip.
"Oh my~"
"This girl is amazing! I can't compare to her!"
Those who were secretly competing with each other were defeated one by one, and Lin Xue had finished most of her work.
Amidst envious glances from onlookers, the two acres of land were finished in less than two hours.
They also moved all the weeds piled up in the field to the edge of the field.
This was a brilliant move, leaving the women who wanted to cause trouble with no reason to do so.
The second team leader was quite surprised to see that Lin Xue had finished so quickly.
But after checking, they let them go.
"Goodness gracious!"
"I never imagined that the girl who was at the bottom of our team would become the most amazing one!"
After Lin Xue left, several people specifically sought out the second team leader to inquire about the situation.
Unfortunately, the second captain didn't know the reason either, and finally remembered what Lin Xue had said.
"That young girl was just too hungry before, and when you're hungry, you naturally don't have the strength to work!"
"I was lucky the other day and found some prey on the mountain. I ate my fill, which is why I had the energy to work!"
"I'm warning you, Lin Xue has finally reformed and started working properly, so you can't let her down!"
How could the second captain not know what these old women were thinking? He gave them a stern warning.
It's a good thing that the young lady is capable, but we can't let her cause trouble at this time.
If it's really because of these women's foul mouths that he, a promising young man, has turned into a lazy bum again.
The second captain probably wanted to beat these people to death.
Lin Xue finished her chores early today and had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she tidied up the yard again.
Then he watered the fruit trees outside the yard and carried the basket to the back mountain.
The villagers are probably busy in the fields, and there's no one on the mountain right now.
Lin Xue was lucky; she caught a badger not long after arriving in the mountains, and also found a basket full of mushrooms and wild vegetables.
Finally, we sat down in front of a patch of raspberries, picking and eating them while enjoying the mountain scenery.
Since there's nothing to do if we go back early anyway, we might as well relax in the mountains.
"The horses' hooves clatter, the Yellow River flows gurgling, we must strive to take root and sprout, so that our dreams may blossom into the most beautiful flowers..."
Lin Xue found a clean spot and sat down on the ground, occasionally picking a bright red plum from the plum tree next to her and popping it into her mouth.
Occasionally, one can look at the blue sky and white clouds, or listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
Take another look at the beautiful scenery below the mountain, or the rolling mountains in the distance, as if searching for the tallest one.
After lying down for a while, I unconsciously started humming a lullaby.
As her beautiful singing voice flowed from her lips, it seemed as if the entire mountain forest was filled with rhythm.
Xie Yuchen, carrying a jar of pickled vegetables, was heading to Lin Xue's house.
As I passed halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard this rhythmic singing.
Following the sound, I saw a girl singing with her eyes closed, looking very happy.
Did she finish work so early?
Xie Yuchen thought with some curiosity.
Then he walked over to Lin Xue's side. Worried that he might interrupt her, he didn't say anything, found a clean place to sit down, and waited there.
"The horses' hooves clatter, the Yellow River flows gurgling, we must strive to take root and sprout, so that our dreams may blossom into the most beautiful flowers..."
"Ha~"
"Let's pick some raspberries to make jam. What should we bring to sell at the market tomorrow?"
