Su Jinyue gradually went deeper into the mountains and forests. The trees around her became more and more lush and towering into the clouds. Many trees were bearing unknown wild fruits, some of which looked very tempting and delicious.
"Snow Frost Fruit." Seeing a tree ahead laden with small, golden wild fruits, Su Jinyue ran forward in surprise. In her previous life, her favorite food was the Snow Frost Fruit. Not only was it edible, it also had medicinal value. The jam from the Snow Frost Fruit contained a large amount of vitamin C, which could treat anemia, clear away heat and toxins, and relieve coughs and phlegm.
Not only that, the snow frost fruit also contains a variety of vitamins needed by the human body, especially the highest content of vitamin B. However, the snow frost fruit is bitter and cold in nature, so people with weak constitutions and pregnant women are prohibited from eating it.
Arriving at the foot of the tree, Su Jinyue put down her backpack and climbed up. When she was little, she and her friends would often climb up the tree to catch cicadas and break willow branches to make straw hats. The height of the tree was no problem for her.
Climbing up the tree, Su Jinyue picked a snow frost fruit, peeled off the outer layer of skin that looked like dry leaves, and put it in her mouth. "It's so sweet! I'll pick some back for Master to try."
While eating, I picked the snow frost fruits and threw them off the tree. There was a thick layer of dead branches and leaves under the tree, so the fruits would not be broken if I threw them down.
After picking for a while, Su Jinyue stopped and slowly crawled towards the tree. She didn't forget the main purpose of going up the mountain today.
After putting the snow frost fruits scattered on the ground into a bamboo basket, Su Jinyue carried the basket on her back and continued walking towards the depths of the forest.
People were coming and going on the platform, eagerly waiting, looking into the distance from time to time, their eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.
"Woo~" An excited whistle sounded, and a train was coming quickly towards the platform in the distance.
Zhan Yihan stood up, picked up his luggage, and followed the crowd of people getting off the bus to the door. It had been more than three years since he left home. He really missed his family and Jin Yue. He wondered if her injury had healed.
The train slowly stopped, and as soon as the door opened, people got off and rushed out.
Zhan Yihan was practically pushed off the train. He had informed his family last time that he was coming back, but then he couldn't because of an urgent mission, so he didn't inform them again this time to avoid disappointing them again.
Su Jinyue looked up at the sky, sighed, and walked back in the direction she had come, following the mark she had left. After searching all day, she hadn't found anything. It seemed she would have to go to another mountain tomorrow to look.
There was a sudden movement in the bushes ahead. Su Jinyue stopped and looked over nervously. Could it be that they had encountered a wild beast?
She gripped the small shovel she was using to dig up herbs. Stay calm. It could be a rabbit. Don't scare yourself.
A black figure emerged from the bushes.
"Wild boar!" Su Jinyue saw clearly that it was a wild boar and quickly turned and ran. She was definitely not able to deal with a wild boar.
The wild boar had no intention of letting Su Jinyue go and followed her closely.
Su Jinyue ran in panic, now she had lost track of the direction. It was getting dark, and even if she could escape the wild boar, she would still be in great danger in this deep forest.
"Ah!" Su Jinyue tripped over a protruding rock and stumbled forward. It was over! Was she going to die again after just being reborn?
Su Jinyue felt that there was a slope where she fell. Her body kept rolling down. Finally, she felt a sharp pain and her eyes fell into darkness.
Zhan Yihan pushed open the gate and walked into his long-lost home.
In the yard, four or five chickens were walking leisurely, occasionally lowering their heads to peck at the chaff on the ground.
A small black dog squatted at the entrance of the main hall. Seeing Zhan Yihan, it immediately became alert. Normally, it would have barked, but there was something frightening about the person who came.
"Dad! Mom! I'm back!" Zhan Yihan walked towards the main hall. Although he often communicated with his family, he hadn't seen them in more than three years.
There was a sound of messy footsteps in the room, and soon Wang Meizhen and Zhan Dafeng ran out with excited looks on their faces.
Seeing that it was really Zhan Yihan, Wang Meizhen's eyes immediately turned red. She walked over, held Zhan Yihan's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Son, you're finally back. I missed you so much." The last time she received his letter, she was happy for several days and told everyone in the village that he was coming back. But in the end, she was disappointed.
"Mom, don't cry, I'm back." Zhan Yihan felt his nose a little sour.
Wang Meizhen carefully examined Zhan Yihan, her face filled with satisfaction. "You've grown taller and stronger, more like a man." Yihan had changed a lot since he left, especially his aura, which gave people an invisible sense of oppression. The army was indeed a good place for growth.
"How many days will you stay this time?" Zhan Dafeng asked.
"Ten days," Zhan Yihan said. His vacation this time was half a month, but the round trip would take five days.
"Let's go inside and talk." Wang Meizhen took Zhan Yihan's hand and walked into the house. She was really happy that her son was back.
The three of them walked into the house and sat down on the chairs.
"Where are Yifeng and the others?" Zhan Yihan asked. It was already evening, so even if they were working in the fields, they should be back by now.
"Yifeng went to his girlfriend's house to help with farm work. Yilin and Yiping both live at the school and won't be back until Saturday," Wang Meizhen said. Because Yihan is a soldier, the village takes extra care of his family, providing them with an annual subsidy. Therefore, their family's conditions are considered good in the village.
"Yifeng has a girlfriend?" Zhan Yihan was a little surprised. When he left, Yifeng had just graduated from high school, and he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would even be dating.
"You're already 21, not too young anymore. If we date for another year, it'll be almost time for us to get married. You're not young either, when are you going to find a wife? You're the eldest in the family," Wang Meizhen said. She was most worried about Yihan, so this time when she came back, she might as well arrange something for him and find him a partner.
"I'm not in a hurry," Zhan Yihan said. But Su Jinyue's image flashed through his mind. He was going to see her soon, wondering if she would be happy to see him.
Wang Meizhen gave Zhan Yihan a cold look and said, "You are already 23 years old and why are you not in a hurry? I will take charge of this matter and I will definitely find you a wife that suits your taste." If Yihan found a wife, she would be relieved.
"Mom, I have a plan, don't worry." Zhan Yihan opened his luggage and took out a few bags of candy and a pack of tobacco. "Mom, this is the candy I brought for you. Dad, this pack of tobacco is for you." He would decide on his own marriage, and he didn't want to find someone just to live with.
