This was the first time Liu Pan'er had fought back today. She was still excited and when she saw that Zhang Cuicui wanted to hit her again, she picked up the wood-chopping knife on the ground and, like a madwoman, swung the broom at Zhang Cuicui.

Before Zhang Cuicui could even strike with her broom, she saw the gleaming wood-chopping knife and, terrified, dropped the broom and ran away.

"Ahhh~ Mother, save me!"

Wang Youlan wanted to step forward to stop him, but when she saw the gleaming wood-chopping knife, she was so frightened that she turned and ran away.

Liu Pan'er seemed to have found some amusement, a strange smile appearing on her face. Coupled with her disheveled hair, she looked like a demon from hell, scaring the mother and daughter so much that they quickly hid in the house and locked the door from the inside, afraid that Liu Pan'er would come after them.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Seeing the mother and daughter terrified, Liu Pan'er dropped the knife in her hand and laughed through her tears. It turned out that even the demon who had been pressing down on her for three years was afraid of death!

It's just a pity that she realized it too late. Her daughter left this world forever before she even had a chance to see it!

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, telling herself it was okay. She would keep this family living in fear all the time; she had plenty of time to wear them down!

After crying her fill, she went to the kitchen, grabbed an egg, and ate it. She needed to take care of her health; otherwise, how could she possibly spend her whole life with them?

Over here, Wen Li and Chen Yan were pushing their bicycles back to the educated youth compound.

"You didn't see it, Liu Zhiqing was incredibly fierce when she beat people. She acted like she had no regard for her life; even the mother and daughter combined couldn't subdue her!"

"She's been holding it in for too long, and now she's finally gotten her revenge!"

Chen Yan felt quite sorry for Liu Pan'er. "Indeed, sigh... such a good girl, her life ruined like this!"

Wen Li shook her head. Liu Pan'er was only in her early twenties. She could choose to get a divorce, but she had to figure it out herself.

She has done all she can to help; the future is up to her.

Back at the educated youth compound, Wen Li took out green beans and cucumbers from her spatial storage. She planned to stir-fry some green beans and smash some cucumbers for dinner.

Wen Li pondered that she needed to go to the county town again. She ate vegetables every day, and even though the vegetables in her space were delicious, she was craving meat.

It's just that it's not easy for her to take time off now. By the time she gets off work and goes there, the pork will have already been sold out.

After cooking the dishes, Chen Yan and Qi Jun also finished preparing the meal. Since it gets dark late in the summer, and Qi Jun saw that it was still early, the two went to the back mountain to store firewood.

Wen Li tidied up her private plot by the back door, then returned to her room, locked the door, and entered her spatial dimension.

The crops planted a few days ago will be ripe in the next couple of days, and the fruit trees have grown quite a bit taller. Wen Li picked up a machete and started building a fence. The original fence was about three meters wide, but Wen Li widened it to almost five meters this time.

The thick wooden sticks in her space were instantly used up. Well, all her hard work these past few days had been for nothing. Next, she would have to work hard to store firewood.

She worked in the space until almost eleven o'clock before finally finishing the fence. After finishing, she drank a sip of spiritual spring water, and her fatigue gradually dissipated.

He took a shower in the room, went back to the kang (heated brick bed), and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, if Chen Yan hadn't come and knocked on her door when she noticed there was no movement in her room, she would have almost overslept.

Getting up too late meant no breakfast, so she made herself a cup of malted milk powder, ate two steamed egg custards to fill her stomach, and then hurriedly followed them to the threshing ground.

Wen Li continued to receive four work points. The autumn harvest was just a few days away, and the work during this period was relatively easy. The work with the highest work points was fertilizing and watering the sweet potato fields. After a few days, most of the land had been watered, so Qi Jun no longer needed to water the fields.

The three of them went to the soybean field to weed. It was an easy job, and they finished it in half a day.

In the afternoon, the three rested for a while and then went to the back mountain to collect firewood.

Su Hao and Deng Wei finished their work in the morning, so the two of them joined the firewood-gathering team.

Upon arriving at the back of the mountain, Su Hao suggested that they go inside and explore.

Wen Li didn't care. She had been to the deep mountains several times already. Although she hadn't been to the inner area, she was quite familiar with the outer area.

"What if we encounter wild animals?" Qi Jun was still somewhat hesitant.

Su Hao glanced around, then said mysteriously, "Don't worry, we've been to that place several times already. There are no wild animals there, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a pheasant!"

Upon hearing that there were pheasants, Chen Yan immediately became interested. "Really? Let's go take a look!"

Qi Jun was still somewhat worried. "Wen Zhiqing, what do you think?"

Su Hao and Deng Wei clearly frequented the deep mountains. With so many of them, they should be fine. She didn't want to waste time at the foot of the mountain, mainly because the villagers were all gathering firewood there, and the firewood at the foot of the mountain had long been gone.

"I have no objection!"

Seeing that all four of them agreed, Qi Jun could only nod in agreement.

So the group of five entered the deep mountains in a grand procession, completely unaware that a dark gaze was watching their backs.

Su Hao and Deng Wei led the way, and once they entered the deep mountains, gathering firewood became much easier. The group chatted and laughed as they filled their baskets, with a large bundle even lying horizontally on top of them.

At first, it was fine; there were rustling sounds in the surrounding grass. But by the time the group came to their senses, the noise had stopped.

"Strange, why haven't I seen a single pheasant today?" Su Hao tapped the grass with a stick, but there was no response.

Deng Wei also noticed something was wrong. "Yes, there are usually quite a few wild rabbits darting around in the bushes, but today there's no movement at all!"

Su Hao and Deng Wei were skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The food at the educated youth compound was bland and oily, so the two often came to this area to catch pheasants. They were already very familiar with the place and were certain that there were no wild beasts around, which is why they brought Wen Li and the others with them.

Originally, they wanted to befriend them, thinking that by hunting some pheasants and rabbits, their relationship would become closer!

Who knew we'd be so unlucky? We didn't find a single wild animal today.

Wen Li listened carefully and found that there was indeed no movement in the grass. She immediately became alert. Generally, there are mostly small animals in the deep mountains. Unless there are wild beasts, those small animals will hide.

"Something's not right around here. There might be wild animals. Let's head down the mountain!"

"Oh? Is it really that unlucky? This is my first time here and I haven't even seen a pheasant!"

Although Chen Yan complained, she still honestly followed along.

The group retraced their steps, and Wen Li, with her keen sense of smell, detected a faint, strange odor in the air.

The taste was very faint, and she couldn't immediately recall what it was, but it certainly wasn't something good. Her temples throbbed, and she had a bad feeling about it.

"Let's take another route down the mountain!"

The others were puzzled, but Deng Wei, who was leading the way, changed direction.

"Little Pear, why did you choose to take this different path?"

"I smelled a strange odor on that road we just came from; we didn't smell it when we came here!"

"Huh? I can't smell it!"

Chen Yan looked at the others, and they all shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't smelled it either.
