After Old Man Yang left, the village chief asked someone to notify the villagers of Taohua Village to go to Hetang for a meeting.
"Village chief, is there anything we need to hold a village meeting about?" the villagers asked the village chief.
"Yang Haosen bought wasteland in Taohua Village and wants to hire people to reclaim it. The salary is 25 cents a day. As long as the workers are diligent and willing to work, and do not try to be cunning or dishonest, the qualified villagers who want to work can register with me and go to the east of the village to reclaim the wasteland tomorrow." The village chief explained the reason for calling a meeting for the villagers, asking them to consider whether they want to go to work.
"Really? It's 25 cents a day. I want to sign up." Some villagers in Taohua Village began to sign up.
"I want to sign up too."
"And me, I want to sign up too."
————
The villagers of Taohua Village all wanted to sign up to reclaim the wasteland.
"Everyone come one by one, don't be impatient." The village chief almost couldn't control the situation when he saw the villagers signing up enthusiastically.
The village chief's second and third sons went home to get a table, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone to register.
The villagers lined up in an orderly manner to register, and the registration was not completed until the sun set.
After dinner, Yang Youxue and her family went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, after breakfast, Yang Zhongyi and Yang Zhongcheng took people to the county town to see how the business of Malatang and hot and sour noodles was going. Yang Qingman took Zhutong and Bai Yu to the puppet shop.
The village chief brought the villagers to see Old Man Yang. After seeing the villagers, Old Man Yang knew that these people had good character and were hardworking, and he knew that they must have been selected by the village chief.
He took Bai Ping, Bai Xiang, Bai Xin, Bai He, Bai Hao, Bai Xin, Bai Long and other villagers to the wasteland in the east of the village to reclaim land.
Yang Youxue told her family that she was going to take Bai Chen to Taohualing. Yang Qingpei and Yang Qingyou wanted to follow them up the mountain, but Yang Youxue refused.
Taking Bai Chen to Taohualing, the foot of the mountain was bare with only a few hawthorn trees. There were many hawthorns on the trees, but they were all sour and bitter. Her father picked some and brought them home. Everyone ate one and didn't want to eat anymore.
She thought of the candied haws in her previous life, so she tried it once. This time, her family all ate it and wanted more.
She also thought about making candied haws, but the profit was too little, and she had to go through the streets and alleys, which was a waste of manpower. So she taught the candied haws business to the village chief, and later taught him how to make tofu and bean sprouts.
In addition to paying the public grain tax, the villagers of Taohua Village have little food left each year, which is not enough for their families to eat. They often have to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits and dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
For unknown reasons, there were only hawthorn trees at the foot of Taohualing Mountain, with no other fruit trees. The villagers didn't know if there were any fruit trees deep in the mountains, and they didn't dare go up there because there were many wild animals.
Following Bai Chen, we walked into the deep mountains, where we found a lush green area with many wild vegetables and weeds.
"Miss Fifth, you must follow me closely and don't leave my sight to avoid getting lost. There are many ferocious wild beasts in the mountains. It will be very dangerous if Miss Fifth is left alone." Bai Chen walked side by side with Yang Youxue and told her to follow him.
"Don't worry, Bai Chen, I will follow you and will not leave your sight." Yang Youxue said to Bai Chen.
If it were her in her previous life, she would not take the beasts seriously at all.
In their killer camp, she had the best skills and she had advanced thermal weapons. She looked down upon no army at all. If the situation had not changed at that time and she had only been focused on saving Liang Junhao, she would not have been caught and blown to pieces.
Suddenly, Yang Youxue saw a small medicinal field in front of her, with many herbs in it.
Seeing the herbs, Yang Youxue was overjoyed and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
"Bai Chen, let's go and dig some herbs." Yang Youxue pulled Bai Chen towards the medicine field. The herbs in it were of many years old, of good quality, and had good effects.
"Miss Fifth, do you know these herbs?" Bai Chen was puzzled. How could a three-year-old child know herbs?
"I saw it in a medicine book." Yang Youxue had no choice but to lie to Bai Chen.
"So that's how it is. Miss Fifth is so smart. She can recognize it just by reading it in a book." Bai Chen thought that Miss Fifth was amazing. She could recognize it like this.
"Hehe, it's just somewhat similar. I don't know if it's true. We'll know only when we dig it back. Bai Chen, let's dig the herbs quickly." Yang Youxue didn't know how to answer. She couldn't tell Bai Chen that those were what she learned in her previous life.
Every killer must learn to identify herbs and how to bandage, because you don’t know whether you will be injured while performing a mission.
Yang Youxue was an almighty killer in her previous life. Because she was a top killer, her status was the highest except for some high-ranking officials in the killer camp. Liang Junhao was her subordinate, and she was equivalent to the captain of the "Death Squad". As long as there was a difficult task, she would lead the team to complete it.
The two of them quickly finished digging the herbs. Yang Youxue made a backpack with vines, put the herbs in the basket, and asked Bai Chen to carry it.
Continuing forward, I saw a small forest with many fruits from my past life, such as apples, pears, star fruits, and even grapes. This was great! With grapes, I could make wine.
Yang Youxue asked Bai Chen to pick some fruits from the fruit trees so that she could take them back for her family.
She picked the grapes herself, walked to the grape vine, and started picking grapes. Suddenly, she saw a tree not far from the grapes that looked familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
