Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The Fairy in the Storybook

It didn’t rain these two days, and the weather was hot, so fewer people went up the mountain. But in fact, once you enter the forest, you’re covered by the shade of the trees, and occasionally there’s a cool breeze blowing from nowhere, which is much cooler than outside. Not

long after entering the mountain, Zheng Jiamin sneaked up to Fu Mingze and whispered, “Yang Qingqing is behind you, why is she following you again?” During

this period of time, even Zheng Jiamin, who is a big-headed person, could see that Yang Qingqing used to only pay attention to Fu Mingze, but recently she would come to Fu Mingze whenever she had something to do, asking about his well-being, and she would follow Fu Mingze wherever he went, but she didn’t say anything, and Fu Mingze couldn’t chase her away.

Now many people in the educated youth camp think that Yang Qingqing and Fu Mingze have some ambiguous relationship.

For example, Zhang Zhiqiang, the sour chicken, said that if Fu Mingze had not given Yang Qingqing some hints, why would a grown-up girl like her be so eager to stick to a poor man like Fu Mingze?

Fu Mingze did not look back at Yang Qingqing, but subconsciously glanced at Shen Moer.

Shen Moer looked back curiously, and indeed saw a figure falling behind her in the distance. Recalling the time when she went to the commune, Yang Qingqing had intentionally or unintentionally asked Fu Mingze what he was doing there, and she had secretly followed Fu Mingze. She couldn't help but ask, "She's still following you?"

Before Fu Mingze could say anything, Zheng Jiamin suddenly rushed to Shen Moer's side and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, she follows you all day long, and it's getting worse!"

Fu Mingze glanced at Zheng Jiamin coldly, but Zheng Jiamin didn't notice at all. She was still dancing and saying, "People at the educated youth camp are saying behind their backs that they are dating. Hahaha, it makes me laugh to death. They don't even realize that recently, under the pressure of Yang Qingqing, our Fu Zhiqing has been walking much faster!"

Fu Mingze couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over and dragged him aside, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't go up the mountain."

Shen Moer couldn't help laughing when she thought about how Fu Mingze was forced to walk around Yang Qingqing every day and even walked faster.

Fu Mingze frowned and watched them swaying with laughter. Shen Moer's fair face, which had become red because she hadn't been to work for a while, was flushed. Her eyes were crooked with laughter, like a half moon in the night sky, bright and clear. Fu Mingze couldn't help but blush at the roots of his ears, and couldn't help but curl his lips secretly.

Fearing that Fu Zhiqing would feel uncomfortable, Shen Moer smiled for a while and said, "Then let's walk faster."

She didn't want to be followed by such a person.

The original owner had often gone up the mountain before, and after following the old ladies for a few times, Shen Moer was quite familiar with the terrain of the back mountain. The three of them quickened their pace, and after Shen Moer deliberately turned left and right, they soon left Yang Qingqing behind.

Shen Moer took Fu Mingze and Zheng Jiamin and headed straight for Songshu Bay.

She went up the mountain for meat this time, and she didn't know if there was meat in other places. At least several of those rabbits ran away last time, so maybe she would run into them again?

Yes, Shen Moer silently wanted to continue plucking the wool of that nest of rabbits.

Perhaps because the vegetation in this area was more lush and the soil was more moist, they had not seen many mushrooms along the way. Once they arrived here, they soon found a bunch of mushrooms under the dead leaves. Nearby, there was also a patch of fresh wild vegetables.

Shen Moer handed the short hoe in her hand to Zheng Jiamin: "I'll go take a look around."

Zheng Jiamin was disappointed: "Are you really here to dig mushrooms?"

Fu Mingze wanted to remind Shen Moer to pay attention to safety. Seeing her pick up a wooden stick that was at least 1.5 meters long from the ground and walked towards the place where firewood was lush, he realized that the girl was more familiar with the mountains and forests than he was.

So he took out a short hoe from the bamboo basket and said to Zheng Jiamin, "Hurry up and work."

Zheng Jiamin was picking mushrooms boredly, and from time to time he looked back at Shen Moer and asked curiously, "What is Comrade Moer doing?" He used to call Shen Moer Comrade or Comrade Shen, but now that he felt that he and Shen Moer had the experience of going up the mountain together, their relationship was closer, so he called her Comrade Moer.

Fu Mingze looked at him and suddenly regretted bringing this funny guy along.

He said calmly: "Comrade Shen Moer is Comrade Shen Moer, Comrade Shen is Comrade Shen, don't call her randomly."

Zheng Jiamin said carelessly: "Calling her Comrade Shen Moer or Comrade Shen sounds too polite."

Fu Mingze stared at him coldly. Zheng Jiamin's scalp was numb because of his stare. Suddenly, he made a zipper-like gesture and said: "I won't shout. Is it okay if I don't shout?"

He buried his head in picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables. Not long after, he began to look around and asked Fu Mingze, " What's the matter with you?" Ze: "Comrade Shen Moli is walking further and further away. Aren't there a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables here? Let's go there together after we pick them here, otherwise it will be dangerous for her to go there alone."

Fu Mingze had actually been paying attention to that side. Hearing this, he said, "I guess she is looking for traces of wild rabbits."

He paused, looked at Zheng Jiamin with disdain and said, "Let's move faster. We'll go there after we finish picking them here."

After that, he ignored Zheng Jiamin and moved his hands a little faster.

"What, she's looking for traces of hares?!" Zheng Jiamin raised his voice, "Could it be that Comrade Shen Moer can also catch rabbits?! Impossible, she looks like a little rabbit..."

This time, no matter what Zheng Jiamin muttered, Fu Mingze kept silent. Zheng Jiamin kept mumbling for a while, and suddenly became excited: "Yes, yes, let's finish this piece quickly and go over to take a look!" After saying that, he finally shut up and started to work.

Fu Mingze glanced at him and sighed secretly.

Zheng Jiamin is a good person in other aspects, simple, generous, cheerful, especially this simplicity which is very rare, basically he believes whatever Fu Mingze says... The only thing is that sometimes he is a bit noisy.

Ten minutes later, the two of them had plucked all the mushrooms and wild vegetables in the field.

Without Fu Mingze's call, Zheng Jiamin carried the bamboo basket on his back and walked quickly in the direction of Shen Moer. Fu Mingze was slow because he was tidying up the bamboo basket. When he looked up, he saw that he had already gone far away. When Fu Mingze was halfway there, he heard Zheng Jiamin's excited cry.

Fu Mingze curled his lips, it seemed that he really caught a wild rabbit, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When Fu Mingze walked over, he saw Zheng Jiamin holding a pair of rabbit ears in one hand, laughing triumphantly: "Mingze, look, big fat rabbits!"

He held up the two dying rabbits kicking their short legs, without any sympathy, and said: "Comrade Moer said that we should go to her house to help in the next few days. She will roast meat for us every day!" He was so excited that he mentioned Comrade Moer again.

In addition to the two rabbits in Zheng Jiamin's hand, there was another rabbit at Shen Moer's feet.

Fu Mingze glanced at the rabbit, and his eyes fell on the small bow in Shen Moli's hand. The bow looked very simple and new, and the wood of the bow arm seemed to have not been polished properly, so it looked a bit rough. In addition to the bow, she also had a few arrows made of bamboo. The arrow heads looked like they had been finely polished and were very sharp.

Fu Mingze guessed that she had hunted the hare today with this inconspicuous bow and arrow that looked like a child's toy.

Even though her method of catching the rabbit last time was rougher and more incredible, and looked more like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, Fu Mingze suddenly had a thought: "What kind of girl is this?"

Shen Moer rubbed the bamboo arrow in the soil for a few times, and then pulled some grass leaves to wipe it clean. Just as she was about to put it back into the bamboo basket with the bow, Zheng Jiamin suddenly shouted: "Comrade Shen Moer, can you lend me this bow to try?" It was obvious that he was itching to see Shen Moer catch the rabbit.

"Of course."

Shen Moer handed over the bow and arrow.

Zheng Jiamin immediately put down the rabbit and took the bow and arrow, and went to try it happily.

As the saying goes, knowing is easier than doing. Seeing Shen Moer catch three rabbits so easily, Zheng Jiamin immediately felt that this task might not be as difficult as he imagined. Shen Moer, a little girl, could do it, and he, a grown man, could do it even better.

But in reality, he walked around with the bow and arrow for a long time, but he didn't even see the shadow of the rabbit. Later, he was so impatient that he tried it on the leaves, but he missed the leaves by two miles.

In the end, he could only face the reality that he didn't have this skill, and turned on the mumbling mode again, praising Shen Moer from all angles.

Even Shen Moer couldn't help but sigh secretly, if this educated youth Zheng was born in Daliang Kyoto, he would probably be a celebrity in front of the dignitaries in Chengdu just by relying on his flattery skills.

Fu Mingze picked up a few rabbits from the ground and put them into Shen Moer's bamboo basket, covered them with mushrooms and wild vegetables he had picked, then exchanged his bamboo basket with Shen Moer's, carried the filled one on his back, and handed the empty one to Shen Moer: "It's almost done, let's go."

He kicked Zheng Jiamin: "Let's go."

Zheng Jiamin rubbed his trousers and muttered, "Why did you offend him again?" He didn't know why, but put on the bamboo basket and followed.

The weather is hot and things can't be kept. Three wild rabbits are enough for the next few days. Similarly, mushrooms and wild vegetables don't need to be picked too much, just enough for two or three days.

However, they still went to the bamboo forest again and dug some whip bamboo, which is very delicious whether it is stewed or fried with meat.

When they walked down the mountain, they actually met Yang Qingqing again.

Probably because she didn't dare to go deep into the forest after being thrown off by them, Yang Qingqing was sitting on a stone beside the mountain path. When she saw them coming, she immediately called Fu Mingze in a soft voice: "Fu Zhiqing--"

Fu Mingze didn't even stop and was about to walk past her. Yang Qingqing hurriedly said: "Fu Zhiqing, I accidentally sprained my foot and can't walk. We are from the same Zhiqing point, can you help me?"

Shen Moer looked at her and inexplicably thought of the goblins she had read in the old storybooks. It seemed that they were like this, appearing in some inexplicable places, and then either lost something, or got separated from their relatives, or got injured. In the end, they always made all kinds of excuses to seek help from those young and handsome scholars, and then after all kinds of twists and turns, they achieved a wonderful marriage.

At that time, she thought, these fairies are very smart, otherwise, why don't they ask old ugly scholars for help?

Now looking at Yang Qingqing's appearance, she is really similar to the fairies in the storybook.

But Fu Mingze is not a scholar who is sympathetic to women. He glanced at Yang Qingqing indifferently, paused for a moment, and then walked forward again.

Yang Qingqing was anxious: "I'm really injured and can't go down the mountain. It will be dangerous for a person in this mountain. You can't just stand by and watch me die, right?"

Zheng Jiamin asked out of curiosity: "Then how do you want us to help you?"

Yang Qingqing said righteously: "Just let Fu Zhiqing carry me down the mountain." Fu Mingze

ignored her and quickly walked away. Zheng Jiamin looked at Fu Mingze's back, then at Yang Qingqing. He felt that they were all educated youths, and it would be useless to just ignore them if they were really injured. So he said: "Fu Mingze will definitely not carry you. If it really doesn't work, I will carry you down the mountain?"

In fact, when he said this, he glanced at the mountain road and he was not very sure. He was not very strong, and it was a bit difficult for him to carry Yang Qingqing down the mountain.

As a result, Yang Qingqing immediately declined politely: "Zheng Zhiqing, thank you for your kindness, but I am quite heavy, and I am afraid you can't carry me. It will be even more troublesome if we fall on the mountain road again. Besides, you are a gay, and it may not be appropriate for you to carry me down the mountain." So

it would be appropriate for Fu Zhiqing to carry you down the mountain?

Shen Moer narrowed her eyes, thinking that Zheng Zhiqing was really pitiful. He had good intentions, but people thought he was an old and ugly scholar. So she said, "Comrade Yang, I have been climbing mountains since I was a child, and I am quite strong. Can I carry you down?"

Yang Qingqing paused, forced a smile, and said, "Comrade Shen Moer, thank you too. No matter how strong a female comrade is, she can't compare with a male comrade. If you carry me, I'm afraid I will fall again later."

Well, male comrades are not suitable, and female comrades are not strong enough. After all, the only suitable one is Fu Zhiqing.

Shen Moer raised her eyebrows and said to Zheng Jiamin, "Since I can't help, let's go." Then she left neatly.

Zheng Jiamin looked at this and that, and followed without saying anything.

Yang Qingqing couldn't believe that they really left like this, and immediately shouted: "How can you just leave like this? There are wild animals and maybe bad guys in the mountains. If you just leave like this, won't you feel guilty if something happens to me? Why are you so cold-hearted, you..."

Shen Moli's voice came slowly from the mountain path: "Yang Zhiqing, don't worry, this place is not far from the foot of the mountain, there won't be any wild animals. If there are pheasants or rabbits jumping out, you can just find a way to catch them and take them back to replenish your body. By the way, I advise you not to shout. If you don't shout, no bad guys will target you in broad daylight. If you keep shouting like this, you can't say for sure..."

Yang Qingqing fell silent immediately.

When they turned a corner, Zheng Jiamin looked back, but Yang Qingqing was gone.

He couldn't help asking, "Are we really just going to leave like this and leave her alone?" Shen Moer smiled and said, "Didn't you see how fast Fu Zhiqing walked? He must have gone back to the team to call for help."

Regardless of whether Yang Qingqing really fell or just pretended to fall, just pretend that she really fell. Why not go to the village and tell the team leader and ask him to arrange two women with stronger bodies and more strength to carry her up the mountain?

Shen Moer guessed correctly. Fu Mingze went down the mountain to find the captain, and then the captain arranged two aunts to go up the mountain to help. As a result, the two aunts met Yang Qingqing who was limping down the mountain halfway.

Yang Qingqing did twist her foot, but it was not serious enough to make her unable to walk. After Shen Moer and the others left, she waited for a while, but no one came back, so she went down the mountain by herself, cursing. When

the two aunts saw this, they immediately frowned and spat, "Aren't you making fun of me?!"

Then they turned around and left.
