"You'll know when you see the jade pendant. It belongs to Ye Zi. She felt the lines on it looked strange and familiar, so she copied it."
"I don't know if you've noticed, but the West Mountain behind where we live isn't a proper round mountain. It just so happens that the pattern I copied from the leaf is almost identical to that mountain."
"Ye Zi is also curious. Anyway, I often go up the mountain, so I just look for it here and there. If I can find it, that's great. If I can't, it's no loss."
"It was you who persuaded Ye Zi to hand it over?" I guess no one would be willing to give up such a huge fortune, right?
"Really not. Even though Xiaoye is usually a bit stingy and reluctant to spend money, when we asked her about this, she said she would hand it over without even stuttering."
"She said people should eat as much as their stomachs allow, and that eating too much could easily lead to death."
Gao Yuan smiled: "This little girl's metaphor is quite appropriate. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat Ye Zi unfairly."
"I think Ye Zi has graduated from high school, right? What do you think about getting her a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
"Not very good. You might as well just find a job for Ye Zi. After going to college, you still have to work, right?" The main reason is that the university environment nowadays is really not very good. How many people go there to study seriously?
It would be better for Ye Zi to go to university instead of going far away to let those teachers in the village teach her. They are all serious bigwigs, aren't they much better than the teachers in universities nowadays?
Besides, they can still protect a little girl in the village, but what if she goes to college and is bullied? They can get revenge later, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and the girl will still be bullied.
"Okay, I will definitely apply for this. Go back and find out what Ye Zi is thinking about. What kind of job do you want? Do you want to work in the city or in the county?"
That little girl seems to be quite homesick. If she goes too far away without anyone familiar around her, I don’t know if she can do it.
Ye Zi has been very well behaved in the past few years. Gao Yuan even forgot what happened when he first met Ye Zi. He forgot that the girl is not someone who can be bullied quietly, nor is she a home-loving little girl.
"Okay, I know what happened. You go back today as usual. I'll make arrangements and come find you. Don't tell anyone about this."
"But quite a few people are secretly coveting that jade pendant, but they've only heard about it, with different descriptions and no definitive information about its whereabouts, which is why they're so quiet. If anyone were to reveal anything, no one would think of stopping."
"The people of Fengshou Village are very simple and honest, but they can't stand the harm done by those people."
"Don't worry, the three of us won't tell anyone about this." He still had this confidence. The three of them were people who could hold back and wouldn't say a word that shouldn't be said.
"That's fine. Put the jade pendant away and don't let anyone else see it. Then you can take us into the mountains with you."
"I understand, big brother. Can the three of us go into the mountains with you? Because of this incident, we didn't collect the herbs we needed. We won't delay your actions. We will take you to the destination and then change direction."
"Let me apply and see."
The two brothers agreed, and Gao Fei didn't stay long. Every time he came to see his elder brother in the past, he rarely stayed here. He would just see his elder brother, say a few words, and then leave. This time, he just came to bring the same words.
Three days after Gao Fei returned to the village, he waited for his elder brother to come. Gao Yuan came with Cui Zheng. The two of them would occasionally come here to see Chen Shengli, and the villagers didn't think it was strange.
In the middle of the night, Chen Ye and two others, along with Gao Yuan and Cui Zheng, quietly went up the mountain. The people Gao Yuan brought were waiting for them in the mountains. With more people around, it would not be so unsafe to travel in the middle of the night.
After the team reunited, they made almost no sound. Led by Chen Ye, they took the shortest route towards the cliff. They were all strong people, and they found the place after traveling at full speed for more than a day.
It wasn't until the door opened that Gao Fei finally felt relieved. He was also afraid that other unexpected events might occur in the next few days.
"Brother, we've found the place. There's nothing left for us to do. The three of us will go somewhere else tomorrow morning."
"Okay, wait until tomorrow morning before you leave. It's not safe in the mountains at night." Someone had already gone in to check and could tell that these three were really honest and sensible. There were only signs of someone walking around in the middle area.
Gao Yuan was quite satisfied without touching any of the things inside. These three kids were smart and knew that as long as there were any marks on those things, someone would probably suspect that they had hidden something.
Chen Ye felt a little sad to give away the jade pendant. She really liked it, but when she thought about the trouble it would cause if someone accidentally saw it, she didn't feel so sad anymore.
The three of them did not go in to join in the fun. They found the place where they had rested before and slept peacefully. If they did not take the time to rest when there were so many people guarding them, wouldn’t they be fools?
As soon as the morning broke, the three of them said goodbye and left. It's better not to get involved in these things. They just led the way and let others know about their contributions. If you get involved too much, you will easily arouse suspicion and it will not be worth it.
You know what, the three of them were incredibly lucky this time. They found a ginseng after walking for half a day. Although it wasn't very old, it was definitely good enough for medicinal use.
Next, the three of them were like finding a ginseng nest. They could pick a ginseng every time they walked a distance. If it wasn't for the autumn harvest, none of them would have been willing to go down the mountain. Their luck was unbeatable.
Chen Ye smacked his lips, wondering if it was the good luck he gained from exchanging for those treasures?
In the past few years, Chen Ye's skin color has changed little by little. Now he finally doesn't need to apply anything on his face anymore. Among a group of people with dark and yellow skin, Chen Ye's skin is a bit eye-catching.
Fortunately, Chen Ye does not look weak, and not many boys like to get close to her. The main reason is that she is too capable. People in the village always talk about Ye when they talk about their own children.
"Look at Ye Zi, she's living a prosperous life, and she's a girl. You're a grown man, but you don't do as much work as a girl. You're pretty proud of yourself, right?"
"Look at Ye Zi. We're both girls, but she can earn 20 work points a day. How come you can only earn five or six work points a day? You can't even earn 10, and you still complain that your family treats you badly?"
"If you can earn at least ten work points a day, I'll support you. Don't you agree? Just keep it to yourself."
"Look at your sister Ye, a little girl, with no one to help out at home. She's so capable! When she was your age, she could have been a strong laborer. But look at you, all you want to do is play all day long."
