The people who entered the mountain suddenly felt a lot of pressure and had no mood to tease Jiang Yimu anymore.
Two hours later, everyone arrived at the foot of Wanfeng Mountain.
Jiang Mingwen climbed onto a large rock and shouted into a loud speaker, "From here, three mountains to the left and two mountains to the right are our brigade's range of activities. Remember this, don't cross the line. To the left is the Huahe Brigade's territory, and to the right is the Huaxing Brigade's territory. I don't want to see the captains of the other two brigades come to me to discuss territory issues. Do you understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "Understood."
"I understand. I wish you great success and may all your wishes come true. Meet here tomorrow afternoon at 2:00. Keep track of the time. When the sun is high in the sky, turn back. No one is allowed to be late. Comrades, head up the mountain."
Then some energetic young men rushed up the mountain, especially Zhong Er, who said, "My dear Rourou, your brother is here."
Jiang Shushu had discussed with Jiang He last night that he would not travel with him for the next two days and one night, so not long after going up the mountain, Jiang He followed a group of young men from Jiangjia Village.
Jiang Shushu did not do as Jiang He said and chose to walk with the aunts in the team, but walked towards the group of people in the Youth League Institute.
Jiang Shushu asked openly. "Hello, my name is Jiang Shushu. Can I team up with you?" He was quite famous in the Hualing Brigade, and the educated youth would definitely know him. He had a job in the city and was considered a successful person. His eldest cousin was the brigade leader, so he could barely be considered a relative. As long as these educated youth had no mental problems, they probably wouldn't refuse him.
Several educated youth were a little surprised that Jiang Shushu suddenly wanted to join them. After all, both new and old educated youth knew that an educated youth had once hired someone to rob her. Deep down, they believed that Jiang Shushu should be a little afraid of them.
The educated youth looked at each other, and no one spoke first. After all, they couldn't afford to refuse, but accepting would also feel a bit awkward.
Yang Xiaobei: Jiang Shushu came here for Zhang Xiaomei?
Jiang Shushu looked at Yang Xiaobei and smiled gently, "Is it inconvenient? I was thinking that we are of similar age and have topics to talk about." Brother, be sensible!
Yang Xiaobei understood instantly: "Welcome to talk about Comrade Jiang."
He Aiguo: "Welcome Comrade Jiang!"
…
Zhao Guihua didn't want to agree, but everyone else agreed, so she could only reluctantly say welcome.
Then Jiang Shushu followed the six educated youths and they got along well with each other, except for Zhao Guihua who had no vision.
Yang Xiaobei walked towards Jiang Shushu with a handful of wild vegetables in his hand. "Is this wild vegetable edible?"
Jiang Shushu took a look and said, "It's a longevity vegetable. It's edible."
"Are you coming with us because of Zhang Meihua? What do you want to do?"
How could Jiang Shushu possibly admit this? "Don't be nervous. I'm a law-abiding person. You're just overthinking it. The people who come up here are either uncles or aunties, and there's nothing to talk about. You're about my age, so isn't it normal for me to invite you guys along? Didn't I have a pleasant chat with you just now? But I really want to get along with Zhang Meihua. I suddenly think she's a nice person."
Yang Xiaobei: "..." Why don't I believe it? Never mind, I'd better keep an eye on it privately.
Yang Xiaobei said perfunctorily: "It's pretty good."
"Yeah, I misunderstood her before. I have to get along with her better in the future." So, don't keep staring at me. Just do what you need to do.
Yang Xiaobei changed the subject, "This longevity vegetable is edible. I'll go dig some more."
After much effort, the group finally managed to catch a pheasant.
Until 5 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Shushu had not found a suitable time to separate the group of educated youth so that she and Zhang Meihua could have some alone time together.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, when they were about to reach a cave, Jiang Shushu was planning to find an opportunity to hurt Zhang Meihua. However, before Jiang Shushu took action, Zhang Meihua, who was tired from walking, suddenly stepped on an unbalanced stone and twisted her foot.
"ah……"
Jiang Shushu, who was about to take action, said: "..." God help me, no, thank you for the judge's blessing, let Zhang Meihua's foot injury be a little more serious, at least she should rest for 10 hours.
He Aiguo was very worried, "How is it? Can he walk?" Hopefully nothing happened. If he really couldn't walk, we male educated youth would have to carry him. Just walking would be tiring, and carrying a living person would make us die of exhaustion.
Yang Xiaobei and Zhao Cheng instantly thought the same thing as He Aiguo, and looked at Zhang Meihua with great concern.
Zhao Guihua curled her lips in her heart, humph, they are really good at pretending, look how nervous these three people are, if you didn’t live under the same roof, I would really think that you three all like Zhang Meihua?
Jiang Shushu stepped forward to support Zhang Meihua, his face full of concern. "Zhang Zhiqing, let me help you. Why don't you stand up and try to see if you can walk? If you can't walk, there's a cave up ahead. You can go there and rest first."
Sun Yun immediately ran over and held Zhang Meihua's other arm.
Zhang Meihua was very touched to see how concerned they were about her. "Thank you. I'll try and see if I can leave."
Zhang Meihua tried to take two steps, but felt a dull pain in her ankle. "No, it hurts when I walk. I don't dare to walk. I'm afraid of making the injury worse."
Suddenly, several male comrades looked bitter and lamented their bad luck.
Jiang Shushu said, "Zhang Zhiqing, I see your foot isn't swollen, so it must be a strain. If that's the case, it'll heal after a few hours of rest. Let's go to the cave to rest and see what's going on. After all, it's almost dark now, and it wouldn't be convenient to go back down the mountain."
Zhang Meihua nodded in agreement, but she was troubled by how to get to the cave. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhang Meihua didn't want to let the male comrade carry her.
Jiang Shushu: "Zhang Zhiqing, I'm quite strong. I can carry you over."
"I'm quite heavy, Comrade Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Shushu squatted down and said, "You're less than 100 pounds, how could you be heavy? Besides, it's such a short distance, wouldn't it be easy for me to carry you there?"
"Thank you." Zhang Meihua lay on Jiang Shushu's back.
"You're welcome." Just answer a few more questions for me later.
The group arrived at the cave. Jiang Shushu asked Zhang Meihua to sit at the entrance of the cave. He Aiguo led the male comrades to quickly check the cave and clean it. Jiang Shushu and several female comrades went to the nearby area to pick up some dry firewood and bring it back to make a fire.
By the time the fire was lit, it was completely dark outside.
Everyone was roasting by the fire and eating the dry food they brought with them.
After eating, He Aiguo looked at Zhang Meihua and asked, "How's your foot? Is it feeling better? Can you walk?"
