Fortunately, there were big trees providing shade along the way, so the two of them didn't feel very hot while walking and chatting.

"Zhihuan, the mountains here are so beautiful. Unlike our hometown, there are only small hills that you can see the top of at a glance." Liu Chunhua pointed to the rolling peaks not far away, and was very excited.

Shen Zhihuan actually likes this place very much.

There are lush trees everywhere. Even in winter, when the fields have lost their vitality, the mountains are still green.

"Zhihuan, do you know? Old man Ren praised you a lot when he returned to school, and even asked my stingy cousin to apply for more subsidies for you." Liu Chunhua suddenly said.

"Teacher Ren is a very honest person." Shen Zhihuan smiled.

If those translations had not been requested by the 82nd Army of her commander, Captain Su, she would really not have been willing to do that hard job.

Not to mention a hundred yuan, even a thousand yuan is not negotiable.

After all, she didn't lack those thousand or eight hundred.

"Compared to my stingy cousin, Old Man Ren is indeed much more honest." Liu Chunhua grinned.

The two of them chatted and laughed until they arrived at the gate of the Shen family's courtyard. Looking at the big lock on the door that was almost rusted, Shen Zhihuan sighed softly.

When she first came here, she thought this would be her whole life.

As a result, in less than half a year, everything had changed.

It's true that plans can't keep up with changes.

"Zhihuan, is this your home?" Liu Chunhua stroked the rusty lock on the door and looked inside through the gap in the wooden door.

Shen Zhihuan hummed softly.

This yard carried the laughter when she came, and also witnessed the loneliness when she left.

"Zhihuan, your grape tree is dead." Liu Chunhua said with some regret when she saw the grape vines on the grape rack that looked like dry firewood.

"With no one to take care of it, death is only a matter of time." Shen Zhihuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

The relationship she thought was the most solid was not as strong as a few provocative words from others.

Changeable...

Humans have to admit that they are second, and no animal dares to claim to be first, including chameleons.

After seeing enough of the Shen family through the crack in the door, Liu Chunhua shifted her attention to the educated youth site not far away.

The educated youth went to school or returned to the city, and the educated youth centers were already deserted.

"That is..."

"The educated youth point has all returned to the city, so there's no one there now," Shen Zhihuan explained.

"Did Tian Xiaorou live there before?" Liu Chunhua asked.

Shen Zhihuan nodded slightly.

"Let's go take a look." Liu Chunhua pulled Shen Zhihuan and went over there.

Shen Zhihuan quickly pulled her back and said, "What's so good about these shabby houses? Let's go back quickly. We've been out for too long. My mother-in-law will be worried."

"Zhihuan, just take a look. I've grown up and never seen what the educated youth point looks like." Liu Chunhua started to act coquettishly and cutely again.

Shen Zhihuan could handle the cold stares and the sniping, but couldn't handle the coquetry, cuteness, and pitifulness...

She sighed and reminded, "After visiting the educated youth site, you have to go back."

Liu Chunhua nodded hurriedly and pulled Shen Zhihuan over there.

I don’t know if it’s because no one has walked on it for a long time, but the path leading to the educated youth site is now covered with lush green grass.

Shen Zhihuan frowned and looked at the big lock, feeling something was wrong. She was about to pull Liu Chunhua away, but Liu Chunhua had already pushed open the door.

"Zhihuan, let's go in and take a look..." Liu Chunhua rushed in excitedly.

The gate of the educated youth settlement faced the well. Shen Zhihuan noticed something was wrong at first sight. How could there be wet marks by the well in a place that hadn't been inhabited for several months? Her heart beat faster with every second.

"Chunhua, it's time for us to go back. Captain Su is still waiting for us over there." Fearing of alerting the enemy, Shen Zhihuan had to speak calmly.

She just hoped that Liu Chunhua would come out obediently and not force those people in the room to do something desperate.

"Zhihuan, why are you in such a hurry? Now that you're here, just let me look around for a while." Liu Chunhua looked around, just like Granny Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden.

Shen Zhihuan's heart was already in his throat.

Seeing that Liu Chunhua was still looking around leisurely and had no intention of coming out, Shen Zhihuan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Chunhua, if you don't leave now, Captain Su will be waiting anxiously." Shen Zhihuan swallowed, his throat was a little tight due to nervousness, and spoke again calmly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Zhihuan, don't worry, I'll go take a look..." Liu Chunhua said as she pushed open the door.

Before she could see what was going on in the room, she felt a pain in her shoulder and neck and lost consciousness.

Seeing Liu Chunhua fall, Shen Zhihuan turned around and wanted to run, but before she could take a step, a sharp dagger flashing with cold light was placed at her neck.

"Little girl, should I carry you in, or do you want to go in by yourself?" the man asked viciously.

"Brother, please let us go. We really have no money." Shen Zhihuan pursed his lips, his voice trembling, and he looked like he was about to cry.

"I'll ask again, should I carry you in, or do you want to go in by yourself?" The blade of the man's dagger moved a little closer to Shen Zhihuan's neck. Shen Zhihuan could even feel the coolness of the blade.

"I'll go in by myself." Shen Zhihuan said with red eyes and pitiful look.

"Fu Lao Er, why are you still wasting time arguing with her? Just knock her out first." A big black man shouted angrily in the yard.

This place is far away from the village, and they are not worried about being heard.

The man standing next to Shen Zhihuan grabbed Shen Zhihuan by the collar and carried her into the house like a chicken.

Shen Zhihuan shrank his neck, looking frightened.

After the gate was closed, two men with fierce faces walked out from the house next door.

The three men started commenting on Shen Zhihuan, but the man who pointed the dagger at Shen Zhihuan remained silent.

"This girl looks good, I think she can be sold for a good price."

"Yes, it's good, better than the goods from a few days ago." The big black man nodded.

"Why don't you keep her for Lao Wang? Lao Wang offers a high price."

"I've promised Heiwa that I'll get him a nice one."

"The old man offered a high price."

"I don't care. I must leave this to Heiwa."

"There's another one over there. Give that to Heiwa." The man named Shi Laosan nodded at the unconscious Liu Chunhua.

"Then why don't you give her to Lao Wang?" Bao Laosi snorted coldly.

"Bao Laosi, has your brain been clouded by Heiwa's shit? Lao Wang gave 500, but Heiwa only gave 300, so there's a difference of 200! You gave 300, but you want to get goods worth 500, what are you dreaming of?"
