As darkness fell, Wen Li closed the door early and entered her space. She first harvested the ripe rice and wheat, and then harvested a batch of vegetables.
The fruit saplings have grown into large trees, the grapevines are laden with bunches of fruit, and the watermelons are already the size of a fist. At this rate, the grapes and watermelons will be ripe in another two or three days.
As for the fruit trees, their growth rate is slower, but they should flower and bear fruit in about ten days.
Wen Li went to the chicken coop to collect the eggs and put them away. She then planted the water spinach by the riverbank before clapping her hands, picking up a tomato, and eating it as she returned to the yard.
She tidied up the room in the courtyard, but something was still missing. She planned to buy a rattan chair to put in the space next time she went to the commune. It would be very comfortable to sit in the rattan chair and sleep when she had nothing to do.
Especially during the winter, when she can't go out and there's not much to do, she'll read books and drink tea in her study to pass the time. Since there are so many books in the study, it's not bad to learn more skills.
The next day, Chen Yan and Qi Jun rode their bicycles into the city early in the morning, while Wen Li and the other educated youth went to work together.
After receiving the farm tools, Wenli followed Aunt Wang to the fields.
As soon as they arrived at the field, Aunt Wang told Wen Li mysteriously, "The He family is splitting up today!"
"Huh? Wasn't Grandpa He vehemently opposed to it, even to the point of wanting to die?"
Aunt Wang gasped, "We had no choice but to agree! He Li's wedding was ruined, the eldest and second sons' families almost came to blows, and Old Man He nearly fainted from anger. In the end, we had no choice but to agree!"
"I have something to tell you, but don't tell anyone else!"
Wen Li's eyes lit up when she heard there was juicy gossip to be had, and she confidently assured everyone, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone!"
"That rascal He Qiang is dishonest. When I got up in the middle of the night, I saw him climb over the wall and go to Widow Chen's house!"
Although Wen Li was shocked, she was not surprised at all. He Qiang pretended to be a good person on the surface, but he was a real scumbag in private. He had Jiang Yue'er, his white moonlight, in his heart, but his body was not honest at all. No wonder Jiang Yue'er didn't like him!
"Oh? Doesn't Widow Chen still have her father-in-law at home?"
"Are you stupid!" Aunt Wang glanced around furtively. "She and her father-in-law have been having an affair for a long time!"
Wen Li was shocked. Wasn't hooliganism a serious crime in this era?
"Aren't they afraid of being arrested and paraded through the streets?"
"Sigh~ It's just her and her father-in-law in her family, and they only have an eight-year-old son. Does anyone have any proof?"
"How did you know that?"
"I once passed by her house late at night and heard some noise coming from there. And you know what? That widow Chen's voice was really something! Tsk tsk..."
Wen Li was speechless for a moment. Wasn't Aunt Wang being a little too blunt?
"Let me tell you, even He Qiang's father is having an affair with Widow Chen. Many men in our village, young and old, have been to her house in the middle of the night. That woman is no good. Stay away from her if you run into her."
Wen Li: Thank you so much!
"Hehe! I understand!"
Aunt Wang also felt that something was amiss, since Wen Li was, after all, just a young girl.
"Hey, look at me, why am I telling this to a little girl like you! But that kid He Qiang has bad intentions towards you, so be careful when you go out alone in the future. Don't be fooled by his respectable appearance, he's no good!"
"Thanks for reminding me, Auntie. I'm strong, I'm not afraid of him!"
Aunt Wang had known Wen Li Re for so long and genuinely liked the girl, but she still kindly reminded her, "You are a girl after all, you should always be more careful!"
Wen Li sensed Aunt Wang's kindness, and her smile became especially sincere. "Yes, I understand!"
After finishing their work, chatting and laughing, Wen Li went straight to the back mountain. Chen Yan and the others weren't there today, so she didn't have to work in the afternoon and could go deep into the mountains to look for the location of the treasure.
After the autumn harvest, everyone is busy storing firewood for the winter, and they can also look for chestnuts and pine nuts, so there are a lot of people on the mountain today.
After the incident with the wolf pack, everyone traveled in groups, not daring to be alone. Wen Li quietly went to the deep mountains via another path.
She didn't go back to the place she had looked for before, but instead went to an unfamiliar place.
Upon seeing some rare medicinal herbs, Wen Li dug them out and threw them into her spatial storage. Along the way, she also caught two pheasants and a nest of wild eggs.
She also caught three hares. Her hunting skills have become increasingly proficient recently, and she caught nearly ten pheasants and hares in just two hours.
Along the way, we also saw a chestnut tree. The chestnuts were ripe, but the outer shells were still green. Chestnut trees are quite tall, and climbing trees isn't Wenli's forte, so she planned to wait until the chestnuts were fully ripe before picking them.
Remembering the location of the chestnut tree, she continued searching for the locust tree in the area. Perhaps she really didn't have the protagonist's halo, because she didn't find a trace of it until the sun was about to set.
Finally, having no other choice, she had to descend the mountain temporarily. Just as she turned around, she saw that thing in the distance, which almost scared her out of her wits!
A black bear stood not far from her, staring intently at her. When Wen Li turned around, it even waved its paw.
Wen Li recalled a short video she had seen before, in which some bears would disguise themselves as humans, lure people over, and then eat them. That video had become a nightmare for Wen Li. And now, reality proved to be far more terrifying!
Without thinking, she hid in the space. After entering the space, she felt her heart pounding!
It's her fault for being too focused; she didn't even notice such a big guy approaching!
She drank two sips of the spiritual spring water to calm herself down, and after a while her legs were still weak.
After eating something in the space to replenish her energy, half an hour passed, and Wen Li, not hearing any noise outside, quietly left the space.
The moment she stepped out of the space, she looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no sign of the black bear.
Without thinking, she took off running down the mountain.
They hadn't run far when they spotted the black bear. Opposite it were the male and female protagonists, who were facing off against it. Both sides were observing each other, not daring to make any rash moves.
Wen Li immediately stopped and hid behind a tree, secretly observing what was ahead.
The male and female protagonists are favored by heaven, so they are sure to be safe. Their relationship deepens gradually through one hardship after another, and in the end, they can't live without each other. The black bear is just a catalyst for their deepening relationship.
When Wen Li saw what the female lead was holding, she was speechless. Damn it, you stole someone's cub! No wonder they were chased by the black bear. Luckily, she didn't take the bear cub down the mountain, otherwise the whole village wouldn't be enough for it to wreak havoc.
The black bear was clearly wary of the cub in Jiang Yue'er's hand, and Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen didn't dare to move, worried that the black bear would attack them if they returned the cub.
