The work on the irrigation canals is nearing completion. Soon the canals in several villages will be connected. When spring plowing begins next year, once the reservoir gates are opened, all the canals will have a continuous flow of water, which will reduce everyone's workload in irrigating the fields by half!
When a person has free time, they tend to find things to do.
Ke Meiyu turned her head to look at Qin Yuanjiu and couldn't help but say, "Our mountain village holds hunting events every winter, with the commune as the organizing unit. I wonder what the situation is this year."
"Does our village qualify for the mission of capturing two herds of wild boar meat?"
Qin Yuanjiu reached out and grasped her hand. The little girl's body was filled with spiritual energy, but her small hand was cool and soft, the same temperature all year round.
Are you worried that your family members will be conscripted for hunting?
Ke Meiyu nodded: "Although my dad used to bring my brothers to participate, I don't know why, but this time I'm a little nervous."
"Don't worry, my brothers have improved their skills a lot. Even Dad's strength has increased two or three times compared to before. Although we can't fight the beasts head-on, we can still keep our lives."
"If you're still worried, you can provide them with some medicine to carry with them, and I'll also make some small mechanisms for them," Qin Yuanjiu said casually.
Ke Meiyu nodded, "Ninth Brother, you have to make that kind of mechanism that can deal with the giant insect!"
Qin Yuanjiu glanced at her without showing any emotion, then smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, don't worry. Have fun in Shuliang Town, I'll pick you up when I'm done with my work!"
Hearing him say that, Ke Meiyu felt a little reluctant to part with him.
After being reborn, he wandered around in a tiny place, and when he went to the town or the provincial capital, he always followed the big villain.
This was her first time visiting relatives in another place.
Thinking about how I can't farm 500 points and points every day, and how I can't achieve the freedom to buy bubble tea, my joy and excitement just now were greatly diminished.
She lowered her head slightly, revealing a hint of reluctance and sadness, and tugged at the hem of his clothes.
When she saw that the Li family's mission was completed, she dispelled the rumors and helped Li Juanmei, the great philanthropist of six generations, find someone she could entrust with her mission. She gained 1,000 peace points and also received a grateful gift from the great philanthropist, a full 10,000 peace points!
Ke Meiyu's heart immediately filled with sunshine, and a sense of pride welled up within her, giving her the exhilarating feeling of wanting to spend her newly received salary without hesitation.
No reluctance, no sadness, none of it exists.
She also instructed him, "Then, then come and pick me up quickly, in seven days, no, ten days, is that okay?"
Qin Yuanjiu's lips twitched, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that someone's mouth was almost splitting to the ears. How fast was that?
Does he have some misunderstanding about the meaning of "fast"?
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry to pick you up, but are you sure you're going to stay at your aunt's house for so long? Aren't you afraid you'll eat them out of house and home?"
Ke Meiyu glared at him, "I... I can eat less, you make it sound like I can't do anything but eat!"
Qin Yuanjiu nodded, "Alright, since you're going to your aunt's house, there's no need for me, Xue Lao, and Zhao Lao to cook. We can just go to the old courtyard for a meal. Knowing my mother's personality, she'll definitely feel sorry for me being abandoned by my wife and try her best to make me a delicious meal."
"I need to think about what to eat..."
Ke Meiyu thought about how good her mother's cooking was, and how much delicious food she must have missed out on while she was away in the neighboring town!
Just as she made a gloomy face, Ke Meiyu shook her head and walked forward angrily.
That's a bad guy, all he knows is how to tempt her with food!
But I, being so naive, fell for it.
For some reason, Ke Meiyu appeared in my dream again that night.
She opened her eyes to find herself with her hands and feet bound, her mouth taped shut, and sitting in a large truck, swaying with the bumps.
In her dream, Ke Meiyu was just an ordinary little girl, at most a little stronger and with slightly more sensitive facial features.
The car hummed as it drove on, and no one spoke in the driver's seat except for the occasional click of a lighter and a man coughing rapidly from the smoke.
After her eyes adjusted to the dim light, Ke Meiyu used the light filtering through the gaps in the car to survey her surroundings.
Beside her were several children who had been drugged and left in the carriage with their eyes closed. They were all quite young, the oldest being no more than ten years old, and the youngest only four or five years old!
Ying Yan was sitting opposite her, his eyes as black as ink, watching her calmly.
Ke Meiyu smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, and shook her head to greet him.
Ying Yan turned her head to the side, looking at the gap in the light shining through, her expression indifferent as if she didn't know her.
She was a little confused, and her body slowly crawled toward him like an insect. Finally, after five minutes of effort, Ke Meiyu comfortably leaned against the car wall, tilted her head, and cheekily rested her head on the little boy's shoulder.
Ying Yan stiffened, turned her head and met a pair of smiling, unguarded eyes.
Who could resist the warmth emanating from this little sun?
He sighed softly, a look of helplessness on the little boy's face, and the perpetual gloom between his brows disappeared.
Knowing that he was only appearing in her dream, Ying Yan struggled for a long time. Apart from unwillingly accepting it, there was nothing he could do but keep learning to become strong enough to cope with the apocalypse she spoke of and build a utopia for her!
Ultimately, it was her behavior of appearing casually and disappearing abruptly without saying hello that made Ying Yan unable to resist throwing a little tantrum when she saw her.
Within minutes, his heart was filled with a faint joy again.
Ying Yan deftly untied his ropes, tore off the tape from his mouth, and then bent down to untie Ke Meiyu.
Once her mouth was freed, she immediately leaned close to his ear and asked curiously, "Little Yingyan, you know how to escape? Then why didn't you untie it just now? This is the middle of nowhere, where would you have run to?"
