As the days go by, Lin Zhiyue is still immersed in his own rhythm of life.
Every morning, just after dawn, she would carry a backpack and a small hoe and head to the familiar depths of the mountains and forests to collect herbs.
The morning dew in the forest wet her trouser legs, and the fresh scent of grass and trees made her feel refreshed.
Every time she discovered a precious herb, her eyes would sparkle with joy, as if she saw hope for her future life.
On the other hand, Zhao San and others were secretly preparing their evil plan.
They collected some worn-out ropes and sticks from the village and hid them in the bushes beside the path leading into the mountain, ready to use them to threaten Lin Zhiyue at the critical moment.
In order to ensure that the operation was foolproof, Zhao San also specially arranged for someone to watch at the entrance of the village. Once he saw Lin Zhiyue entering the mountain, he would immediately run back to inform.
On this day, the sun shone through the thin clouds and onto the earth. It seemed like an ordinary day.
Lin Zhiyue set out towards the rising sun as usual, without noticing the approaching danger.
The lookout at the entrance of the village saw Lin Zhiyue from afar and immediately turned around and ran towards where Zhao San and the others were hiding, shouting breathlessly: "Third brother, that girl has gone into the mountains and is heading towards the old place!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao San's eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's go. We must get her money today!"
They crouched down and walked quickly along the mountain path, and soon arrived at the pre-selected ambush site.
This is a narrow valley with steep slopes on both sides. There is only one path winding through it, which is the only way for Lin Zhiyue to collect herbs. Zhao San and others hid behind the boulders and bushes on the side of the road, quietly waiting for Lin Zhiyue to arrive.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second was like torture for Zhao San and others.
Finally, they heard light footsteps and the sound of backpacks hitting stones.
Zhao San nervously clenched the stick in his hand and signaled his companions to get ready.
When Lin Zhiyue's figure appeared in sight, Zhao San suddenly jumped out from behind the bushes and shouted loudly: "Little girl, stop!" The other two second-rate guys also jumped out and surrounded Lin Zhiyue.
Lin Zhiyue was startled by this sudden change. She subconsciously took a step back and looked at the three people in front of her vigilantly.
When she saw clearly that it was Zhao San and other village scoundrels, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, but more of calmness.
She took a deep breath and said, "What do you want to do?"
Zhao San showed a ferocious smile on his face and said, "Hmph, little girl, stop playing dumb. Hand over your father's compensation, or you won't be able to leave this valley today!"
Lin Zhiyue was shocked. She didn't expect that these people had already known about her father's compensation and had plans to take advantage of it.
But she quickly calmed down and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have any compensation."
Zhao San snorted coldly, took a step forward, raised the stick in his hand, and threatened: "Don't refuse a toast! We have all inquired about it. You have been living such a good life recently. You must be enjoying yourself with the money. If you don't hand over the money today, don't blame us for being rude!"
Lin Zhiyue's brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
She knew that she was now alone and helpless and could not fight head-on.
But she would never let these people succeed in their conspiracy.
At this moment, she suddenly had an idea and thought of her mental power.
In the end times, she relied on her mental power to escape danger many times. I wonder if her mental power can still play a role in this era when facing these ordinary people.
She quietly concentrated her mind and tried to use her mental power to interfere with the thinking of Zhao San and others.
Seeing that Lin Zhiyue didn't say anything, Zhao San and others thought she was scared and approached her even more unscrupulously.
Suddenly, Zhao San felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he was being stabbed by countless needles.
He held his head in his hands and groaned in pain.
Seeing this, the other two scoundrels also looked horrified and looked at Zhao San in confusion.
Lin Zhiyue took the opportunity to step back a few steps and continued to increase the output of his mental power.
Zhao San's shouts became louder and louder, echoing in the valley. The other two scoundrels also began to feel splitting headaches. They looked at each other in panic and turned around to try to escape.
Lin Zhiyue looked at their embarrassed backs and did not feel the slightest bit of pleasure in her heart.
She knew that this matter would not end like this.
These people will definitely come up with other ways to deal with her.
But she also secretly made up her mind to protect herself and never let these people's conspiracy succeed.
She tidied her backpack and quickened her pace as she headed deeper into the forest. She needed to collect all the herbs as quickly as possible and then go back to think carefully about what to do next.
Lin Zhiyue quickened his pace and went deeper into the forest, but after taking a few steps, he heard chaotic footsteps coming from behind him.
Her heart tightened and she looked back, only to see Zhao San and the two scoundrels catching up with her again.
Zhao San's face was full of anger, with veins bulging on his forehead. He shouted loudly: "Little girl, what kind of magic did you use? If you don't hand over the money today, I will never let you go!" His voice became hoarse with anger and echoed in the valley.
Lin Zhiyue realized that although his mental power had caused them temporary suffering, it had not completely scared away these greedy people.
She looked around and found herself in a dense forest with tall trees and intertwined branches.
At this moment, an idea flashed through her mind, to use the complicated terrain to get rid of them.
