No one caused trouble, and the educated youth got along quite well, chatting and laughing as they went up the mountain.
It's been a few days since the snow fell, and the wind has blown the snow off the mountain, revealing paths, so it's not too difficult to walk.
The gentle slope where we previously worked is now covered in a blanket of white, though not as thick as the slope at the foot of the mountain. You can still see the bare ground and withered yellow weeds.
The closer they got, the more obvious the joy on their faces became.
"Huh? Is that the sound of water?"
"It seems so!"
The boys quickened their pace, cautiously approaching the familiar riverbank. Although it was winter, the dampness was quite noticeable.
"Running water! This river has running water; it's not frozen!"
Qian Cheng excitedly jumped around by the river, his shoes covered in snow. He stepped on the weeds beneath the snow, then slipped and screamed in fright.
"ah!"
Ling Weidong, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and pulled him back.
Do you want to go winter swimming?
Qian Cheng, still shaken, patted his chest.
"Oh my god, I almost died young here!"
This commotion immediately lightened the atmosphere again.
Ling Weidong took out a burlap sack and used a net, while Qian Cheng, Yuan Ye, and Lin Dongfang skillfully emptied their baskets and found suitable positions to secure them.
Chen Heping, Lin Dali, and the other female educated youth who were visiting for the first time were all somewhat bewildered.

The fish in the flowing water here are much more agile than those under the ice.
While waiting, the few idle people wandered around, taking whatever they could find that could be used, such as firewood.
Tang Hongying also asked Tan Yajun,
"Isn't this considered a deep mountain area? I've been up here so many times, and I think I've only ever reached the halfway point. There are so many more plants here than down below,"
She just found a few red groundcherries, probably some that slipped through the net in autumn. But there can't be any on the hillside, they've all been plucked bare there.
Tanya Chung denied it.
"You can't look at me like that. If I were alone, I wouldn't dare come here either. I always come with Jian Dan, that's all thanks to her skills."
We can't afford to take any chances. There are deep mountains ahead. If something comes out, I'm telling you, we'll be delivering meat to them.
However, Tanya Jun's mouth must have been blessed; as soon as she finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the woods above. Tanya Jun immediately covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed in horror.
