The sky was still overcast, but the work bell had already rung all over the entire Gaotang village.
The group of educated youths had just left when they ran into two unmarried young men from the production team.
"Good morning, fellow educated youth."
Shen Chuntao said coldly, "We're about to start work, what are you doing here?"
"Don't tell us you were just passing by."
Tang Liping jokingly defused the situation, saying, "Sister Chuntao, they didn't come for you, why are you getting so worked up?"
“In our educated youth settlement, there is only one hot commodity right now.”
"Everyone has a love for beauty."
"If we don't bump into each other on our way to work, then we'll have no chance to meet all day, hahaha~"
The two young men lowered their heads and blushed as they were laughed at.
Su Qingci, who was just about to leave, overheard Tang Liping's remarks.
A shadowy glint flashed in his eyes.
Upon seeing Su Qingci leave, the two young men quickly greeted her.
Good morning, Su Zhiqing.
"Su, the educated youth, are you ready to go to work?"
Su Qingci rolled her eyes, pretended not to hear, and walked past the two towards the stone platform.
This kind of person is inherently driven by ulterior motives.
The nicer you are to someone, the more enthusiastic they become.
The two ignored youths lowered their heads awkwardly, looking quite embarrassed.
Seeing that Su Qingci had left, Shen Chuntao quickly chased after her.
Tang Liping looked at the two people who were standing there in a daze.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, then he said in a joking tone.
"Useless."
"The two men were as shy as young girls."
"How can you possibly win a girl's heart like this?"
"I advise you to give up. Su, the educated youth, has very high standards."
"With your kind of people, unless she just happens to fall into the river by accident and you manage to pull her out."
"I have no choice but to marry you, otherwise you would never have a chance in this lifetime."
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get to work. Don't let the golden eggs go to waste and delay the work in the fields."
"Everything depends on fate. With your kind of courage, you're destined to dig in the ground your whole lives."
The two young men's faces were flushed, and one of them looked thoughtfully at Su Qingci's back.
Not far ahead, Shen Chuntao paused for a moment before quickly catching up with Su Qingci.
"Qingci, when you go to and from work, take the main road and go around the deep pool."
"If someone were to do something malicious and suddenly throw you off, then it would be hard to explain."
Su Qingci turned her head and glanced thoughtfully at Tang Liping behind her.
She wasn't walking fast, and she could hear some of what the other person was saying.
What seemed like a few playful jokes were actually brimming with malice.
If she still wasn't sure what the other party was up to, she might as well just kill herself.
"Sister Chuntao, don't worry, I will be careful."
Shen Chuntao is like a mother facing her child's upcoming long trip.
We didn't stop the whole way, as if everyone around us was a bad person, afraid that our child would be bullied.
When we reached the fork in the road, I gave him several more instructions before heading into the fields, still feeling uneasy.
Su Qingci sighed, turned around in frustration, and followed the path along the pool toward the stone platform.
Gaotang Village is built against the mountain.
To the east is a large river, and to the west is a tall forest.
Below the forest farm are terraced fields, and to the north and south are mountains.
The drying yard stone platform was placed next to the forest farm because it is not only flat but also close to the mountains and rice fields.
It's easy for oxcarts to get in and out, and the sun shines on you from morning till afternoon.
But to get from the village, you have to go around a deep pool and a small stone tower.
A cluster of lush osmanthus trees surrounds the stone pagoda.
As soon as she entered the woods, Su Qingci saw Yu Zhengbao walking towards her.
Looking at the other person's lewd smile, Su Qingci felt extremely disgusted.
"Good morning, Su Zhiqing."
"Hey, hey, it's not even dawn yet. Aren't you afraid to walk alone on the back path?"
"I heard you live alone in a room. Aren't you scared to sleep at night?"
"Are you facing any difficulties in your life that you need help with?"
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely help you."
Yu Zhengbao was holding a handkerchief in his hand behind his back.
He spoke words of concern as he slowly walked towards Su Qingci.
When they were less than three meters apart, the other party suddenly increased their speed.
He raised the handkerchief in his hand to cover her mouth and nose.
Su Qingci instantly became alert, lowered her head, quickly darted forward, and instantly appeared behind Yu Zhengbao.
Then he kicked him hard in the groin from behind.
Yu Zhengbao let out a muffled groan, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
He covered his groin with both hands, his face flushed red as he knelt on the ground, trembling.
Su Qingci picked up the handkerchief from the ground and covered his mouth and nose with it.
Sure enough, in less than three seconds, the other person fell to the ground.
Looking at the handkerchief in her hand, Su Qingci's face turned ashen.
"You beast, how could you resort to such dirty tricks?"
Luckily, she had seen similar scenes on TV before; otherwise, she wouldn't have known what was happening.
Who is it? Who's up ahead?
A questioning voice came from the fork in the road ahead.
A flash of anger crossed Su Qingci's eyes.
The other party must have heard Yu Zhengbao's cry of pain.
"Hmph, you delivered this to my doorstep yourself."
Tang Liping stood curiously at the intersection, peering into the osmanthus grove.
This road leads to Shiping.
