Chapter 40 Pushing Yu Wanqing Down the Mountain

Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci put their things away and were about to go into the mountains, but the captain showed up halfway and took Huo Lanci away.

Yu Wanqing could only walk towards the foot of the mountain alone, carrying the backpack on her back. Not long after she walked, she met Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou San and a few others. When they heard that she was going into the mountains, they decided to walk together.

Aunt Zhou San asked curiously, "Yu Zhiqing, who was the person who came to see you on a bicycle last time?"

There have been many speculations about that person's identity some time ago, but no one asked Yu Zhiqing.

Yu Wanqing knew that Zhou San was asking about Wei Guangji, so she smiled and said, "He is my father's old comrade-in-arms. He lives in the county town. He heard that I was working in the countryside, so he came to see me."

"That's good." Aunt Zhou San said, "He came to see you, so he must have a good relationship with your father. You are alone here and don't know anyone. If you have a relative, you won't panic when something happens."

Yu Wanqing smiled and nodded. Nowadays, people live in groups and believe that having many children means more blessings. Everyone thinks that no matter where they go, as long as they have relatives around them, they will be more confident in doing anything.

She has seen the indifference between people in the new era, and what they recognize is not blood ties, but sincerity. Therefore, she is not as enthusiastic about relatives as Aunt Zhou San and others, but she will not refute other people's well-intentioned reminders.

When we reached the outskirts of the mountain, we separated and gathered firewood. If we saw any wild vegetables, we would dig them up. Although we separated, we were within range where everyone could be heard if they shouted, so no one dared to go deep into the mountains.

Gu Xiaoru saw Huo Lanci and Yu Wanqing going out with backpacks on their backs. She guessed that they were going into the mountains, so she hurried back, pocketed some candies, and headed towards Aunt Daniu's house.

Niu Erzhuang happened to be at home. When he saw Gu Xiaoru coming to their house, his eyes lit up instantly: "Gu Zhiqing, are you here to see me?"

Gu Xiaoru shook her head and smiled softly: "No, I came to see my aunt. I went to the commune to buy some things today, and I brought some candies to sweeten my aunt's mouth."

Hearing that they were not here to see him, Niu Erzhuang felt a little lonely.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoru sneered in her heart: What a fool who is easily deceived.

She said, "Comrade Erzhuang, I just saw Yu Zhiqing carrying a backpack into the mountains. Is there anything to pick in the mountains at this time of year?"

When Niu Erzhuang heard that Yu Wanqing had gone into the mountains, he immediately thought of how she had bullied the educated youth from the valley. He had wanted to teach Yu Wanqing a lesson some time ago, but he had never found the opportunity to do so. Then, they both got robbed, and he had no time at all.

She is now going into the mountains alone, this is a good opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Niu Erzhuang said, "Hurry up and go into the house. My mother is inside."

After he finished speaking, he shouted into the house, "Mom, I have something to go out for."

Gu Xiaoru looked at Niu Erzhuang's hurried back, curled her lips into a smile, turned around and walked into the Niu family.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Auntie Daniu sewing clothes, and then she smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm here to see you."

"Because of the fight, we haven't spoken for a long time." After saying that, he took out two and gave them to Da Niu's aunt: "I bought them from the commune. I'm giving them to you to sweeten your mouth."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Daniu quickly took two candies and said, "Gu Zhiqing, you are so thoughtful. You are really a good comrade."

"My aunt is good to me, so I should be good to her too." Gu Xiaoru thought secretly in her heart: If I don't give you a little sweetness, how can you be willing to risk your life for me.

She smiled and said, "I just saw Comrade Erzhuang going out. He seemed to be going into the mountains."

She muttered, "I also saw Yu Zhiqing go into the mountains. Is there anything good in the mountains? Why do so many people want to go into the mountains?"

Auntie Daniu didn't care. She smiled and looked at Gu Xiaoru: "What can we get in the mountains at this time of year? We can only get some wild vegetables."

She pointed outside the door and said, "Did you see the vegetables that Auntie planted outside?"

"I don't have to go into the mountains to look for wild vegetables. I can eat green vegetables."

Thinking of vegetables, Gu Xiaoru recalled the vegetables that Yu Wanqing, that bitch, planted in her private plot outside the door. They were so juicy that she wanted to destroy them all.

Although both were city kids, Yu Wanqing was prettier than herself. Her parents loved her, and the team leader, the team secretary, and Captain Lu all protected her. Even the vegetables she grew were better than those of others.

Not only that, her partner is also the best-looking and most capable person in the area, and can earn ten work points every day. How can a vixen like Yu Wanqing be better than others in every way?

Gu Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, but still went to Da Niu's aunt and whispered, "I, I heard from Comrade Er Zhuang last time that he fell in love with Yu Zhiqing."

"After Yu Zhiqing and Huo Zhiqing started dating, Comrade Erzhuang has been in a bad mood. I am worried that he will do something stupid."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Da Niu recalled that her second son had been acting strangely recently. She had seen him sneaking out several nights ago. Could he be going to look for Yu Zhiqing?

Thinking of this, her eyelids suddenly twitched, as if something bad had happened.

Yu Wanqing was squatting on a slope digging a medicinal herb. She suddenly stopped and listened, and heard footsteps coming towards her.

Soon, the footsteps became lighter.

The other party took great pains to get behind her, what was he trying to do?

Looking at the slope below, if a person rolls down from here, he will not die but will be injured.

Even without turning around, one could guess that the person was Niu Erzhuang, the little fish raised by Gu Xiaoru.

Just as he stretched out his claws to push Yu Wanqing, Yu Wanqing, who had been squatting, suddenly moved aside and stood up.

The small tree behind Niu Erzhuang suddenly bent and hit Niu Erzhuang hard.

"ah."

Niu Erzhuang rolled down the slope and let out a miserable cry.

Yu Wanqing just watched the scene coldly, and when Niu Erzhuang noticed her, she gave him a sarcastic smile.

If others don't provoke her, she will never take the initiative to cause trouble.

Since you've come to my door, why don't you clean it up and leave it until tomorrow?

Niu Erzhuang rolled directly into the farmland below the slope. Before he fainted, he looked up the mountain, only to see Yu Wanqing turned away indifferently without even looking at him.

Yu Wanqing first dug out the herbs, then filled the soil back in, and used wood to moisten a vine next to it. The vine grew rapidly, and soon took root in the soil just dug, and surrounded the area on all sides. No one could tell that someone had just dug up a herb here.

When passing by a small tree, reach out your hand and use your wood ability to nourish it, which will speed up the growth of the small tree: "Thank you."

Just now, she used her wood-related ability to control a small tree to hit Niu Erzhuang from behind, causing him to roll down the slope.

She climbed up the cliff and soon came to the place where she had just picked up firewood. Aunt Zhou San saw her from a distance and asked with a smile, "Yu Zhiqing, how much did you pick up?"

"Auntie, I picked up two handfuls of firewood and want to chop a thicker piece of wood to carry back. I don't have a knife with me when I go into the mountains. Can you lend me your knife for a while?"

Auntie Zhou San smiled and held up a piece of wood as thick as a child's arm and asked, "Is this okay? I just cut two."

Yu Wanqing ran over with a smile, and nearly fell because she ran too fast, which frightened Aunt Zhou San so much that she quickly shouted, "Slow down, slow down, why are you running so fast?"

My goodness, just looking at Yu Zhiqing's face makes her happy. If she falls and hurts her face, where will she find such a beautiful girl?

Yu Wanqing walked over to Auntie Zhou San and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. You won't fall."

Aunt Zhou glared at her and said, "Who can guarantee this? You should be careful."

"The two pieces of wood are here, take them yourself, the rest are mine." Aunt Zhou San also stuffed four canes into her hands and asked, "Do you know how to tie pine branches? Do you want me to help you?"

"Is it the same as tying mulberry leaves?" Yu Wanqing asked curiously, "If it is the same, then I will tie it too."

Aunt Zhou San saw her smile and immediately felt better: "It's the same, but the pine branches need to be tied up at both ends before you can carry them home."

Yu Wanqing and several aunts were carrying a load of firewood back home. They met quite a few people on the way. She would greet anyone she knew with a smile.

She is now digging a hole to bury Niu Erzhuang.
