"Is anyone there? Could you give me some food?"

A deep, resonant voice came from outside the wooden house.

"Who?"

Chen Jianming was puzzled, but he still opened the door and saw a man who looked to be in his thirties standing outside. He was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, his hair was styled in a fashionable way, he had a well-proportioned figure, and he looked very capable.

"Hello, young man."

The man, all smiles, hurried over to greet him.

"Come in!"

After looking around and not finding anyone suspicious, and seeing that the other person was not carrying any weapons, Chen Jianming let him into the house.

"Young man, do you usually live alone here?"

The man in black looked around the room, appearing quite enthusiastic.

Chen Jianming nodded: "I'm the only one guarding this mountain. What are you doing in the mountains? Are you a hunter?"

That being said, judging from the other person's attire, they shouldn't have any connection with hunters.

The man in black chuckled, sat down by the fire, and said, "Just call me Brother Zhao. I'm not some hunter; I do some fur business in the city. It's winter now, so I came to the countryside to see the scenery, and maybe do some hunting and try some wild game."

"See this chain? How about it, little brother? Want to come to the city and work for me? What future is there guarding this mountain?"

The man in black also showed off a large gold chain hanging around his neck, which looked heavy and substantial.

That's it?

Chen Jianming remained noncommittal; he didn't really care about this chain right now, as there was still a golden bed in the space.

If you took this out, it would definitely dazzle a lot of people!

Not to mention the many antiques and paintings!

Enter the city? Let whoever wants to go in, he hasn't even gotten rid of those Japanese devils yet!

Seeing that Chen Jianming didn't answer, the man in black didn't mind and asked with a smile, "Brother, do you have any rations or a hunting rifle here? I accidentally lost my gun on the mountain. If you have any, I can buy them for a high price."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wad of banknotes from his pocket.

"I don't have a gun. I'm guarding this mountain, and the village only issued one hunting rifle. But I can give you some rations, no money required."

Chen Jianming remained calm. Although the person in front of him was somewhat suspicious, he did not seem to have any malicious intent.

Moreover, upon observation, even though this person looks like a nouveau riche, he has a righteous air in his eyes and has nothing to do with the Japanese!

"Alright."

The man in black abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Hey, I heard there was a fire on the mountain last night. It's all over the village. Young man, you've been guarding the mountain, do you know what's going on?"

Chen Jianming felt a chill run down his spine, but remained outwardly calm: "I don't know. I went to bed early yesterday. The weather in the mountains is awful, freezing cold. If you go to bed any later, you can forget about falling asleep."

"That's true."

The man in black had a smile on his face, but he was secretly observing Chen Jianming's expression.

"You're here guarding the mountain all by yourself! It must be tough for you, young man. I'll be going now, so I won't bother you any longer."

After chatting for a few more minutes and asking Chen Jianming where he came from, the man in black patted Chen Jianming on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"Brother Zhao, you haven't taken your rations yet!" Chen Jianming reminded him.

"Haha, look at my memory, I forgot about our food supplies. Well then, thank you very much, young man. When you come to town again, just come find me, and I'll treat you to a meal!"

The man in black patted his head, took a few pancakes, and left the wooden house.

"Forget it, whoever he is, he's not a threat to me right now!"

Chen Jianming watched the other person leave. Although he didn't know the other person's identity, he felt that the other person's demeanor was not that of a nouveau riche.

Outside the wooden house, the man in black walked a few hundred meters before disappearing into a grove of trees.

There were actually more than ten people hiding in the woods. When they saw the man in black, they all surrounded him.

"Captain Zhao, what's going on?"

"Did you find out anything?"

"As it stands, there's no suspicion. The young man is a recent adult, a former educated youth from Huai Shu Village. He was sent here as a mountain guard because he wasn't well-liked," the man in black said, shaking his head.

It was obvious that they were from the town's police station, and they had come up the mountain to investigate yesterday's fire.

"Huh? It looks like someone's coming. They seem to be coming from the direction of the forest farm," a security guard said.

Looking in that direction, Yang Yu, with her two long braids, was walking towards the wooden house with a melancholy expression.

"They must be a couple. Let's go, don't disturb their sweet time together."

"That kid's got some good luck! Never mind, let's go look somewhere else!"

The security guards did not linger and left quietly.

Inside the wooden house, the fire crackled in the stove, and a deer leg sizzled and emitted a fragrant aroma as it roasted.

Chen Jianming went outside to relieve himself, and just as he was about to go back inside, he saw Yang Yu.

"You've finally arrived. I thought you'd forgotten about me." He quickly went to greet you.

Yang Yu remained silent, standing with her head down.

Seeing Yang Yu's appearance, Chen Jianming asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yang Yu's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying, and her voice was low: "Let's go inside and talk."

As soon as she entered the room, she threw herself into Chen Jianming's arms and started crying.

Chen Jianming wiped away her tears and asked, "What happened? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

"No, I'm leaving!"

Yang Yu raised her head, her hazy eyes filled with reluctance.

"Leaving? Are you going back to the city?" Chen Jianming was somewhat surprised.

Yang Yu wiped away her tears, said nothing, and nodded while sobbing.

"This is a good thing. It's so tough in the mountains, it's really not suitable for a girl like you to be here," Chen Jianming comforted her.

He was telling the truth; Heiyu Mountain was too harsh, even men couldn't endure it, let alone a girl like Yang Yu.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to stay here.

Of course, he now had something more important to do: to wipe out those little devils!

"But I won't see you again after I leave..."

As Yang Yu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

After these few interactions, Chen Jianming had already occupied a very important place in her heart.

Chen Jianming pulled Yang Yu into his arms: "How could we not see each other? I will definitely return to the city when I have the chance. You go back first, and I will come to Shanghai to see you after I return to the city."

"Really?"

Yang Yu finally stopped crying: "You can't lie to me! You must come to see me after you get back to the city! The forest farm is going to hold a farewell party for me tonight. I just took some time to come and say goodbye. I'm going back now."

"Go back? Go back where? It's time to leave, aren't you going to stay with me a little longer? Let's go crazy one last time!"

Before Yang Yu could break free, Chen Jianming picked her up in his arms.

Yang Yu didn't struggle much, but blushed and punched Chen Jianming a few times: "You scoundrel, all you think about is this!"

"You don't want to? Then why did you come to me?"

"asshole..."
