As soon as Shen Ruofei came up, she took Yi Xiaoqiu's arm and said, "Xiaoqiu, Gu Zhiqing and the others will go up the mountain later. Let's follow them and take a look!"
Shen Ruofei felt that she had always been lucky, so she decided to go into the mountains to try her luck and see if she could find something valuable to exchange for money.
Gu Chengfeng and his men were catching rabbits and pheasants on the mountain to have a snack. What was Chen Ruofei doing in the back mountain? Was he joining in the fun?
In order to support Mo Wanlin in building the house, Mo Hengan would run to the mountain every morning to get more game to reduce Luo Wanlin's burden.
When people come to help build a house, you can't just let them eat vegetables every day, right? There must be meat! If you don't catch rabbits or pheasants in the mountains, you have to buy pork, and buying pork costs money.
Gu Chengfeng went up the mountain to save money for Lu Rongrong.
"Okay!" Yi Xiaoqiu didn't want to go back early and be treated like a monkey by those people outside the educated youth point.
The two greeted Gu Chengfeng and followed behind them not too far away.
Shen Ruofei also thought about the situation outside the educated youth center, "Xiao Qiu, why are there always people hanging around the educated youth center recently?"
Speaking of the people hanging around the educated youth site recently, Yi Xiaoqiu also frowned, "What else can they do? Just watch the fun!"
"What's so good about building a house? Those aunties come and start gossiping, and there are also many young people wandering around like country bumpkins who have never met each other before."
Yi Xiaoqiu thought of what Old Lady Liu had asked her, and said coldly, "The old lady is just there to watch the fun, but the young man may not be so sure!"
Shen Ruofei turned her head to look at her, "You mean..."
During this period, Shen Ruofei also felt that there was something unusual about the people coming and going near the educated youth site. Whenever someone had something to say, the young men and women would be extremely enthusiastic.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded. "The educated youth at our educated youth camp are known for their good looks, especially the female ones, who are known for their wealth. Isn't it normal for them to be targeted by others?"
"What should we do then?" Shen Ruofei was anxious. She had no intention of getting married in the countryside, let alone by people with ulterior motives.
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet, but at least we have to let others know that we are not people they can bully."
Shen Ruofei twisted the braid that hung down in front of her chest and said, "I'll remind the others about this matter when I get back, and then we can think of a solution. It's not good to be stared at all the time."
Shen Ruofei and the others really didn't expect that building a house would cause so many troubles, but even if they knew in advance that there would be such troubles, they would still choose to build a house. No one would be willing to live a hard life when they clearly have the conditions to make their lives better.
Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't think of any solution for a moment, "Hmm."
Soon, they came to a forest. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on.
"This mountain road is not easy to walk on, so be careful." Gu Chengfeng glanced at the two of them and unconsciously moved a little further away from them.
Mo Hengan found where the rabbits were. "We're here. You two should be gentle or stay away."
Shen Ruofei pulled Yi Xiaoqiu away. "Let's go over there and take a look. We won't go with them."
The forest was deep and dark, with branches and weeds lying around her feet. Yi Xiaoqiu walked in fear. It was because there were many insects and ants in the forest at this time of year. If a snake suddenly jumped out of the weeds, she would be scared to death!
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't dare to say a word. She couldn't understand why Shen Ruofei wanted to drag her up the mountain with her.
She never expected to be as lucky as the heroine. Once she entered the mountains, ginseng was picked like radishes, and she was lucky enough not to be unlucky.
As the saying goes, what you fear most will come true. Just as Yi Xiaoqiu was afraid of snakes, a long snake with a red crown on its head and a green body was wrapped around the branch in front of him, spitting at Shen Ruofei who was walking in front of him.
"Ah! Snake!" Yi Xiaoqiu screamed and suddenly pulled Shen Ruofei back. This was not the end yet. She was afraid that the snake would catch up with her, so she pulled her away and ran away.
"Where's the snake?" Before Shen Ruofei could react, she was dragged away and ran wildly.
Yi Xiaoqiu was in a panic and didn't know how long he ran. He only stopped when he ran to a place with less vegetation.
She was breathing heavily, her legs felt weak and her head was dizzy. She could hear her own heartbeat, thump thump, fast and rapid!
Yi Xiaoqiu was really afraid of that thing.
Moreover, she saw it clearly just now. It had thick arms, a blood-red crown like a rooster's comb on its head, and a whole body of emerald green. The color was very bright. Yi Xiaoqiu had never seen a snake with a red crown on its head.
That must be a poisonous snake. The heroine might be fine, but she, the cannon fodder, is probably in trouble.
"Where did you see the snake just now?" Shen Ruofei was not only tired, but also a little confused.
As soon as she heard there was a snake, she was dragged all the way by Yi Xiaoqiu without even seeing it clearly.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded and looked at her with disdain. "What's that look in your eyes? Such a big snake, wrapped around the branch in front of you, and you didn't even see it?"
Shen Ruofei shook her head, "No! I seem to see a red flower."
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head. How ignorant and fearless! "That red flower grew on the head of a huge emerald green snake. Didn't you see it? The snake was as thick as your arm. The flower you're talking about is the red crown on its head. I saw it clearly!"
"Ah! There is this kind of snake!" Shen Ruofei looked incredulous.
"You haven't seen it before! That's right, it's my first time seeing it too! Let's go back home!"
Yi Xiaoqiu felt that a snake would pop out of the grass at her feet at any time, and she wanted to go down the mountain immediately.
Shen Ruofei didn't see the snake clearly and didn't feel the fear that Yi Xiaoqiu felt.
"Xiaoqiu, where are we running to?" Shen Ruofei looked around.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked around nervously, his whole body tense. If he heard any movement around him, he would run away. "I don't know. I'm just running around aimlessly."
At this moment, Shen Ruofei behind him screamed, "Ah!"
"What's the matter?" Yi Xiaoqiu turned around and looked at her.
Shen Ruofei stared at the direction not far ahead of her, "I... that snake seemed to be chasing me. I saw that red flower again and hid under the leaves."
"What!!" Yi Xiaoqiu felt his scalp tingling, goose bumps all over his body, his legs started to go weak, and his heart beat faster.
No, I have to run! The snake is chasing me! It’s so scary!
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't dare to look anymore and pulled Shen Ruofei to run away.
"Wait, it seems a little different." Shen Ruofei took two steps forward.
Yi Xiaoqiu was worried, "You, don't go up, be careful of the snake!"
Seeing how nervous she was, Shen Ruofei's heart also lifted. She picked up a long dead branch and hit the small red flower hidden under the leaves twice.
After the branches and leaves shook for a while, the true appearance of the flower was revealed.
That is...
Shen Ruofei's eyes lit up. "Xiao Qiu, there's no snake! That flower isn't a snake either!"
"Really? Did you see it clearly?" Yi Xiaoqiu felt relieved and looked at the place where Shen Ruofei pointed.
When she saw this, she was stunned.
