Chapter 47 Autumn Harvest
Everyone was horrified when they heard that someone had been eaten by wolves in the back mountain.
The village chief quickly organized people to go up the mountain and carry the body down.
When Wu An thought of his cousin, a strong sense of unease welled up in his mind.
"Grandpa, my eldest brother..."
Old Wu realized something was wrong when he thought about how his eldest grandson sometimes went out in the middle of the night, and he hadn't seen Wu Xing all day. He looked at Wu An with a trembling voice.
"Xiao An, you...you should go and see her right away!"
Wu An disregarded everything else and hurriedly followed everyone to the back mountain.
Meanwhile, the captain was also in a state of panic. He examined the wolf's carcass and found wounds on it from the militiamen as well as wounds from other wild animals.
Judging from the wounds, the beast was no ordinary creature. The wounds looked like they were inflicted by a bear; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for these wolves to be dealt with by just these few people.
"I've told the villagers to stay away from the back mountain for now. I'll report this matter and then make further plans!"
"Okay, I understand!"
The militia took the wolf's carcass away, and the village was once again filled with fear.
Not long after, the village chief and his group came down the mountain with the skeleton that had been gnawed beyond recognition.
When the Wu family saw the blood-stained pieces of clothing, they burst into tears. Old Man Wu nearly fainted; this was his most talented grandson, and he was gone just like that…
The villagers helped the Wu family with the funeral arrangements. Everyone sighed with sorrow and dared not go to the back mountain anymore.
Time flies, and the rice paddies are golden, indicating that the rice is ripe and the autumn harvest is just around the corner.
Because of the wolf pack incident, no one dared to go to the back mountain. The male and female protagonists had been wandering around the village recently, which gave Guo Caixia the opportunity to get close to the female protagonist.
Over the course of a few days, Guo Caixia and the female lead became best friends. The two went everywhere together. With the female lead's help, Guo Caixia's reputation improved considerably, and the villagers were more willing to talk to her.
Wen Li originally thought that Wu Xing's death would at least make the female lead sad for a while, but she came to the educated youth compound every day to talk to the male lead about love, and there was no sign of her sadness or grief.
So the female lead has been using Wu Xing all along!
This isn't some kind and beautiful female lead at all; she's practically a black-hearted scheming woman!
But none of that matters to her; what she cares about most right now is the autumn harvest.
The autumn harvest is a major event for the entire village. Everyone who is able to work, regardless of age or gender, must go to the fields to work.
Wen Li used to be able to slack off, but now the brigade leader has assigned her ten work points, while the male educated youth have to do at least twelve work points before they can leave work.
This is simply treating women like men and men like donkeys!
On the first day of the autumn harvest, the whistle blew at four o'clock in the morning. Everyone first gathered at the grain drying yard and then began to harvest the rice. They ate breakfast at eight o'clock. The villagers waited for their families to bring them food and then ate it directly in the fields.
The educated youth worked themselves to the bone, and then they still had to go back and cook!
Wen Li, Chen Yan, and Qi Jun agreed that during the autumn harvest season, the three of them would eat together temporarily, taking turns to come back and cook, so as not to waste time.
Working from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. with a one-hour break at noon, Wen Li was exhausted by the end of the day, even with the spiritual spring water. Not to mention the others, some of them had sunburned and their necks and arms peeled off because they hadn't taken proper sun protection measures.
The next day, someone collapsed from heatstroke in the field. Old Wu was in poor spirits because of Wu Xing's matter, so Wu An temporarily took over Old Wu's work.
Seeing this, Wen Li secretly added two drops of spiritual spring water to Chen Yan and Qi Jun's water. After all, they were her only two friends, and Wen Li couldn't bear to watch them collapse.
After the rice harvest, it's time to harvest the corn, and then the sorghum.
After half a month, even with the spiritual spring water, Wen Li had gotten a tan. Looking at her dark face, she almost cried, but seeing the even darker faces of others made her feel a little better.
Since everyone's criticizing each other anyway, no one should look down on anyone else!
As the autumn harvest draws to a close, everyone is finally able to get up at four in the morning to go to work.
Wen Li's task today was to cut corn stalks. She took a sickle and went to the field. Just as she was working up a sweat, a man walked towards her with a smile.
Wen Li turned her head and saw a handsome man behind her. He had a square face and was about 1.78 meters tall. To be honest, his appearance was very popular in this era.
"Wen, here, have some brown sugar water. I specially boiled an egg in it!"
Wen Li carefully examined the man's features, confirmed that she did not recognize him, and coldly refused.
"No need, thank you!"
"Oh, don't be so polite with me. Look how thin you've gotten from all that work. My mom specially cooked some brown sugar eggs to help you recover!"
"unnecessary!"
Seeing that Wen Li was unmoved by his words, the man changed the subject and softened his tone.
"Wen, you're working so hard, you still need a man's help. Go and rest over there, I'll help you!"
He Qiang believed he was very popular in the village. He thought that if other girls saw him like this, they would have fallen for him long ago, so he became increasingly smug.
Before Wen Li could refuse, several mocking voices rang out from behind.
"Oh~ Qiangzi, are you bringing Wen, the educated youth, some sweet soup?"
"Qiangzi's heart is fluttering with romantic feelings!"
He Qiang scratched his head shyly, "Go away, Wen Zhiqing is shy, don't make a fuss here!"
"Yes, yes, we wouldn't dare disturb you two young lovers' sweet talk!"
"Qiangzi, when are you planning to have your wedding banquet? You absolutely have to invite us guys over for a drink!"
He Qiang glanced at Wen Li and saw that she was pale and swaying. He thought his plan had succeeded and became even bolder.
He had long heard that this Wen Zhiqing had a powerful and wealthy family background, and she was also beautiful. Although he didn't like her, he wouldn't lose out if he married her!
"Of course, I'll definitely treat everyone then!"
"Wow! Qiangzi, you're so lucky! That Wen educated youth is from the city, you're quite fortunate!"
At this moment, Wen Li's body was trembling slightly. He Qiang, Jiang Yue'er's neighbor and Jiang Yue'er's childhood sweetheart Zhang Da, was also the scumbag who ruined the original owner's life in the original book.
Perhaps it was the original owner's emotions at play, but when Wen Li heard this name, her body trembled, and an inexplicable hatred welled up in her heart. That hatred surged up like a tidal wave, affecting Wen Li's own emotions as well.
Wen Li took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fear in her heart, and kicked He Qiang in the stomach without thinking.
He Qiang was caught off guard and was kicked away by Wen Li.
The two men who were watching the commotion were originally with He Qiang, and for a moment, they were both a little confused.
Most girls would be so frightened by this that they would cry and not know how to explain it. Then they would spread the word everywhere, and even if Wen Li was unwilling, her reputation would be ruined, and she would have no choice but to marry He Qiang.
Who told her to offend Yue'er!
Who would have thought Wen Li would be so fierce, actually hitting someone?
Wen Li looked at He Qiang lying on the ground and punched him again.
"ah--"
