After staying quietly at home for only three or five days, seeing that Shi Peng was still nowhere to be seen, Chu Xi couldn't help but feel a little "free" in her heart.
Chu Xi, who had nothing to do and ran into the mountains, was in a very good mood. The air in nature's oxygen bar was extremely pure and fresh, and the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains was very pleasant to the ears. Even the occasional long howls of wolves seemed so cute.
She has lost interest in the wild animals in the mountains. There are now countless pheasants, rabbits and various small animals raised in her own space. In addition to regularly supplying them to Wang Tao and Gao Shi in the county, the others are all placed in the warehouse, waiting for the market to be free in the future. Anyway, the space warehouse is time-constant, and it will be the same when she takes it out later. Now she is not short of that little money, and even if she exchanges it for money, it will not be of much use now.
Of course, she is still very interested in the medicinal herbs that can be found in the mountains. After all, they are wild, and their growth is closely related to water, soil, environment and weather. Although the medicinal herbs on the black soil nourished by the spiritual springs in the space are also growing well and have very good medicinal effects, she always feels that they are artificial, and only those grown in nature are wild.
Maybe this is just a kind of psychological paranoia.
After two days of wandering in the deep forest with Little Stone, she didn't like the trees on the outskirts of the forest that had been completely plundered. Even the bird nests were plundered, and the fruit trees were even chopped off with branches...
Unlike in the deep mountains and ancient forests, here you can always find surprises. Pick some wild fruits from wild trees, collect some natural wild honey, explore the caves and search for treasures...
They made a lot of fun of a spontaneous trip...
I was hungry at noon, so I made a beggar's chicken and experienced the fun of a picnic.
Little Shitou was also diligently searching for dead branches, leaves and other combustible materials. He was so excited the whole time, learning to cook from his mother. His hands were covered in mud. He watched his mother digging holes and wrapping beggar chickens. His big, cute eyes seemed to be able to speak...
He spread a large blanket on the grass beside the stream, put a small table on it, and took out grapes, bananas, milk, juice, dried fruits, etc., covering the entire low table. This was in the deep mountains and forests, so there was definitely no one to be seen. Chu Xi didn't hesitate to seize the opportunity and took out a lot of food that had not been put out of the space for a long time, which made Little Stone very excited.
The happiest one was Xiao Hui. Smelling the rich aroma of meat from the beggar's chicken when it was peeled, he wanted to rush over immediately, but he was also a man of his time. He knew he couldn't beat his master, so he waited obediently on the side. He looked like a Husky, his tail swinging back and forth on the ground like a broom...
It was almost evening when Chu Xi slowly emerged from the forest. She was worried that Shi Peng would suddenly return while they were still wandering around in the forest. Would she be looked down upon?
There were two people, one big and one small, each with a backpack. However, there were only some wild fruits and two relatively small pheasants in the backpack now. They were taken back home to raise at Xiao Shitou's request. They looked pretty good.
Chu Xi stopped walking. The educated youth settlement ahead seemed bustling with activity. Today, the direction of his descent from the mountain was a little different from usual, leaning slightly east. As he entered Shijia Village, he was closer to the educated youth settlement than to his own house...
Chu Xi, who was seriously lacking in entertainment options in the mountain village, also became interested. The two of them squeezed in directly. It seemed that since last summer she had also become fond of gossip and liked to talk about some "strange and interesting things" in the village.
Seeing Xiao Shitou's eager eyes, Chu Xi gently took off the small backpack for him, threw it into her own large backpack, and then picked him up...
"You said this shouldn't be a murder of passion, right? Love can't be obtained, so hatred kills?"
"Hey, you sour scholar, you're even nitpicking about words. Stop being so pretentious and showing off your junior high school diploma, which you only attended for less than a week..."
"Well, I was just saying it casually. You're just jealous. But I think it's really possible. I've noticed that educated youth Wang Ji isn't a good guy. He always likes to hang around educated youth Li when we're working in the fields..."
Looking at the two police officers in green uniforms in the yard in front, and a few unfamiliar faces in white coats who were not sure whether they were police officers or doctors, and listening to the villagers around who seemed to be talking very excitedly and noisily, she quickly understood what had happened.
It turned out that Li Tong, a new female educated youth who had arrived at the educated youth point this year, was found dead in her room at noon.
When he was found, his face seemed to be ashen, with obvious marks of strangulation on his neck, and his eyes were still wide open even after death. It was not known whether he killed someone because he failed to steal money, or whether it was a revenge killing or a murder of love.
Under the leadership of the team leader, someone was asked to call the police, and then several people came from the town police station. The police determined that the man was strangled to death.
However, Shi Xiaomei and Shi Xiu from the village were taken away, along with a male educated youth named Wang Ji.
"I'm afraid this is another drama of love, hate and vengeance. I just hope it won't be related to me in the end! I just want to be a spectator." Chu Xi thought silently in his heart.
