She never sat quietly in the classroom and studied hard like other students.
Speaking of self-study, thanks to Gao Fei and Cen Zixiang, most of her math, physics and chemistry problems were solved by them. She would only go to the cowshed to disturb others if they really couldn't solve them.
The main reason is that there are quite a few people staring at this place. If people really see her interacting frequently with those people, she will definitely be in big trouble.
"Okay, I'll ask around first and see if you like it. If you like it, we'll go to work. If not, we'll look for another one."
Look, this is the difference between people. She thinks it is a stroke of luck to meet a temporary worker, and she can pick anyone she wants. Where can she go to seek justice?
"I'm not picky, as long as I have a job. In fact, I'm reluctant to leave the village. It's too inconvenient to live in the county town." I have to find a place to live, and I only have to interact with strangers. Even eating meat is a hassle.
"It's not inconvenient at all. You can come back during holidays. We are here to help take care of you." Girls should dress neatly to go to work. It's not suitable for them to work in the fields all day.
Chen Ye nodded. Maybe she still had some social anxiety. She was a little scared to suddenly start her life in a completely new environment.
At daybreak, a group of three people headed straight into the West Mountain. Don't think that just because they live there safely, no villagers will have any ideas about taking possession of their residential land.
If the wolves hadn't suddenly come down two years ago, this area would have been bustling with activity. Fortunately, the young people living here are all quite skilled, and there are several hunting rifles in the village.
The wall of her home was strong and high enough, so there would have been more than just casualties that time. Now she can still occasionally recall the thrilling experience. It was also the first time she realized that wolves were truly terrifying creatures.
It was also after that incident that those villagers who were originally eager to come here to enclose residential land became quiet.
Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to live peacefully. The more people living here, the more trouble there will be. What's more, the people here also have to take care of the people in the cowshed, which will make it easy for people to find fault with them.
Not to mention that the more people there are, the more thoughts there are. This West Mountain can no longer be Chen Ye's back garden. When they see her entering the mountain, I wonder how many people will be tempted to follow her into the mountain.
It would be fine if everything went well, but if something really happened, Chen Ye might be blamed.
The three people in the group were all very skilled and fast, and by noon they had reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"Ye Zi, we haven't been here before. Let's slow down and find a place to rest tonight first." Cen Zixiang suggested after observing the surrounding environment.
Chen Ye nodded. She had never been in this direction before, and she really didn't know whether it would be safe along the way.
The three of them walked for seven days. They encountered a lot of prey on the way, but they didn't take any action. They thought they would do it when they returned. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to find ginseng with so many prey on their backs. However, they did collect a lot of herbs.
That day they came to the edge of a cliff. If they couldn't find them here, they would go back. Of course, there were other mountains inside, and the mountains here were connected to each other, but they were not here to die.
It was noon at this time, and the three of them sat down to rest and replenish their energy. The cliff was not far away.
"Let's go back after dinner. I didn't expect ginseng to be so hard to find." Cen Zixiang sighed. He didn't know if it was because of the two of them, but Ye Zi didn't find any ginseng this year.
Gao Fei had no objection and said that if they couldn't find it today, they would go back. There would not be much difference between going back at noon and going back tomorrow. After all, it was still very dangerous in the mountains, so it was better to go back a day earlier.
Chen Ye also nodded in agreement. After all, he could just go back and try another route. "Okay, let's go back after dinner. We can pick up some meat on the way. It can be kept for a while in this weather."
Cen Zixiang took a bite of the somewhat hard dry food and swallowed it with difficulty: "I miss the food Shuanzhu made."
The food they brought into the mountains was eaten up in two or three days. They had to make do with what they had for the next few days. The forest was too dense and they didn't dare to make a fire.
Chen Ye also smacked his lips. For an invisible foodie, there was no point in talking about delicious food during such difficult times.
She looked around with her little head. Going into the mountains would test one's eyesight, luck and experience. She always had a feeling that she could find something good nearby.
After eating the last bite of dry food and patting the crumbs in her hands, she stood up and walked towards the cliff.
"Ye Zi, be careful, don't fall down. I just took a look and it's quite deep down."
"Oh, I'll be careful."
This cliff must have existed for quite a long time. Looking down from above, it seems to be lush and green below. The height is estimated to be at least 20 meters above sea level. If you accidentally fall down, there is almost no chance of survival.
Walking up along the edge of the cliff, Chen Ye stopped at a place and squatted down to identify it carefully. Because the distance was still some distance, there were many climbing plants on the rock wall and they were not very clear.
"What did you find?" Cen Zixiang was a little worried about Ye Zi walking on the edge of the cliff, so he followed after eating his dry food.
"I'm not sure, but it seems to be Dendrobium. I'm not sure, after all, we hardly have this thing here."
Cen Zixiang glanced down and asked, "Want to go down and take a look?"
Chen Ye also knew that it was risky to go down for something uncertain, but deep down she wanted to go down and take a look. After all, the terrain here was somewhat similar to that on the jade pendant.
I finally came here, I would feel like I’d be missing out if I didn’t go down and explore!
"Go, help me hold the rope and I'll go down and take a look."
"No need, you're on top, just tell me which one it is and I'll go down. It's too dangerous down there."
"Does that mean it won't be dangerous for you to go down? I'm the lightest of the three of us, so I'm the most suitable person to go down. Besides, we're not sure if it's real or not, and you two can't tell the real from the fake, and you're not familiar with the picking techniques."
"Stop talking nonsense, bring the rope quickly and let me go down to take a look. If it's not there, let's go back as soon as possible," Chen Ye said while looking around, trying to find a thicker tree to tie the rope.
Gao Fei also heard what the two people said. He came over with a rope and tied it directly to the big tree behind where Chen Ye was standing. The tree was not very thick, but it was enough to bear the weight of Ye Zi.
Chen Ye tied the other end of the rope around his waist without any further ado. Cen Zixiang checked it again out of concern and took out a bag to pad the edge of the cliff to prevent the rope from being accidentally worn out.
"Be careful, there are a lot of plants down there, and there might be snakes."
Chen Ye nodded, kicked his feet and slid down.
