Lu Chen stiffly raised his hand, broke off a tree branch, and approached the snake with clumsy movements. With a sudden, forceful thrust, he plunged the branch into the snake's vital spot.
Only after seeing that the snake was completely dead did he speak to Ye Zhiyu: "That's enough, the snake is dead."
His voice became low and hoarse from restraint.
Ye Zhiyu timidly lifted her head from Lu Chen's embrace, not daring to look, and cautiously asked, "Really? Really?"
Lu Chen felt the softness pressed against him, his throat bobbed, his temples throbbed, and he suppressed his impulse, finding his voice as he said in a deep voice, "Really."
Ye Zhiyu carefully looked towards the location in her memory, and seeing that he was indeed dead, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Slowly, he got off Lu Chen.
Thinking about how she had just given the man in front of her a bear hug, her face flushed, and she bit her lip lightly.
Lu Chen calmed himself down. The little girl in front of him had red eyes and nose, her eyes were watery, and there were still tears on her eyelashes. At this moment, she put her hands in front of her body and kept circling her two thumbs. He couldn't help but smile silently.
Looking around, I saw a basket and a sickle by the stream.
He walked over, picked up a sickle, and started cutting grass.
Ye Zhiyu felt the person in front of her walk away, and secretly looked up to see Lu Chen helping her cut the grass. She quickly walked over.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Lu Chen straightened up and looked at her small frame, his gaze lingering on the gauze on her head. "Are you sure?"
Lu Chen asked seriously, and Ye Zhiyu felt challenged. Forgetting her earlier embarrassment, she straightened her chest and said, "Of course."
Then the man glanced at her briefly before going about his work.
Seeing that the man ignored her, Ye Zhiyu squatted down in the shade of the tree in frustration, taking her anger out on the grass beside her, pulling it bit by bit.
He muttered to himself, "Once my spiritual power recovers, I'll cut this whole area down for him. He looks down on me, I'll teach him to look down on me."
Suddenly, she felt spiritual energy within her body. With a flick of her finger, a small tree branch rose into the air.
Huh? What's going on?
Ye Zhiyu stared blankly at this scene. Could it be that there was spiritual energy in the mountains?
Quickly close your eyes and feel the spiritual energy in the air, then frown.
She opened her eyes, but there was nothing there. Where did her spiritual power come from?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Lu Chen had already filled the basket.
Turning my head, I saw the little girl under the shade of a tree, frowning and deep in thought. Perhaps out of habit, she subconsciously pouted.
Lu Chen shook his head. He could tell at a glance that the person was spoiled and had the mentality of a child.
He stopped a few steps away from her and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's go."
Ye Zhiyu looked up in confusion, "Huh?"
She quickly came to her senses and saw that he looked like he was going to help her take the grass back, so she quickly got up.
On the way, I secretly sized up Lu Chen. He was tall and strong, carrying a large basket of grass on his back. His back was straight. He had worked hard all year round. His muscles were not from eating protein powder in later generations. If there were any more or less muscle, it would not have the same effect. His body was just right, with a pair of long legs.
Lu Chen naturally felt the gaze of the person next to him, and felt that the person's gaze was particularly scorching. He gripped the straps tightly and his muscles were tense.
Ye Zhiyu couldn't keep up with his pace.
Lu Chen's one step was equivalent to two or three of hers, so he was already at a disadvantage. Now that he suddenly sped up, she couldn't keep up even when jogging.
He stood there with his hands on his hips.
Lu Chen walked for a while and then realized there was no sound behind him. He turned around and saw someone standing about ten meters away.
They turned back to check, "What happened?"
Ye Zhiyu looked resentful and said, "You're taking advantage of my short legs."
Lu Chen didn't immediately grasp this, "Huh?"
After a moment's thought, he realized that he had walked a little too fast to avoid her gaze. Looking at Ye Zhiyu's legs, he thought, "Hmm, they are indeed quite short." He couldn't help but laugh.
If Tian Hongfang were here, she would definitely glare her eyes out. Is this still her son with facial paralysis?
He smiled, and Ye Zhiyu's eyes became even more resentful, puffing out her cheeks in anger, "You're still smiling?"
Lu Chen touched his nose, stopped laughing, and said seriously, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that he apologized, Ye Zhiyu reluctantly forgave him, snorted, and walked forward.
Lu Chen helped her return the grass and then went up the mountain again. Today, he was originally going to check if there were any prey in the previous traps, but he met her on the way.
But... thinking about it, I started laughing again.
......
When Ye Zhiyu returned to the educated youth settlement, there was no one there. She was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
There was no place to take a bath, so I filled a basin with water and went back to my room to wipe myself down.
After changing into clean clothes, I suddenly heard a noise outside. I glanced at my watch; it was past eleven. The person who cooked today must be back.
Just as Ye Zhiyu was about to open the door, she stopped. Something was wrong with the footsteps. If it were someone coming back to cook, their footsteps wouldn't be so furtive.
Ye Zhiyu opened the door a crack and looked out.
A woman quietly opened the door to Liu Shengnan's room. Even though no one was there, she looked around suspiciously, a typical case of a guilty conscience. She went in and did something, but soon came out again. She went in and out of room after room.
Slowly approaching Ye Zhiyu, Ye Zhiyu recognized who it was: Xu Fen.
Ye Zhiyu just found from the original owner's memories that Xu Fen and another male educated youth named Wu Qing cooked together today, but the male educated youth is nowhere to be found right now.
Just as they were about to reach her room, Ye Zhiyu went invisible.
Watching Xu Fen quietly close the door, he went straight to the cabinet where she kept the food. His eyes lit up when he saw so much food, but he didn't dare to take too much. He took a can of beef and a handful of imported chocolates.
As I was about to leave, I noticed Ye Zhiyu's wallet, which she had just placed aside while wiping herself.
After hesitating for a moment, I picked it up anyway.
When she opened her wallet, she found thirty ten-yuan bills and some loose change. Her grandfather had given her the money when she went to the countryside, saying that he was worried she wouldn't have time to go to the bank to withdraw the money. Having money on her would put her at ease, because when they arrived, the busy farming season began. There were no shops in the village at that time, and even their packages and letters were retrieved and mailed by the brigade leader who went to a meeting in town. They had nowhere to spend their money.
The same goes for door locks. There's no chance to go to town, and you can't buy a lock. Even if you have a lock, you lock up your valuables first.
That's how it was for the original owner; her bankbook and all sorts of tickets were locked in the wardrobe.
Xu Fen's eyes widened, and she took out three ten-yuan bills from inside.
Then she hurriedly went out and went back to the mud-brick house behind her to hide her things.
He came out of the house a little while later, dusted himself off, acted as if nothing had happened, and started cooking.
Wu Qing also returned, carrying a bundle of firewood.
When they arrived at the place where the firewood was stored, they frowned as they looked at the large amount of firewood still left.
"I told you there were still many, but you insisted I go and pick them up, and now it's wasting time."
Xu Fen smiled awkwardly, "I must have misremembered. I was just afraid the fire would go out while I was cooking."
Seeing her like this, Wu Qing didn't know what to say. They would see each other all the time, and even if he disliked her, there was no need to deliberately embarrass her.
He waved his hand to indicate that he was alright.
