"Yueyue, in this situation, fruits are a rare thing. I also borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and sweet fruits to beauties."
Han Yiyun handed her the fruit in his hand with a smile, his eyes full of doting, which made Zhan Qingyue feel a little weird.
She looked at the bright red fruit in Han Yiyun's hand and didn't know whether to reach out or not.
"Oh, Miss Yue, just accept it from Master Tong Sheng. If you don't accept it, other girls will come and steal it!"
Several villagers passing by laughed and joked.
"That's right, Miss Yue, please pick it up quickly, there are many little girls waiting here!"
Zhan Qingyue's face turned crimson with embarrassment. He glanced around and saw several village girls looking this way in a sly manner.
"Ahem...thank you, Brother Han. Brother Han, I...I'll help mother cook."
Han Yiyun looked at her hurriedly escaping figure, and the fruit in his hand seemed even sweeter.
The fleeing team moved forward step by step, but the situation did not improve along the way. The land was cracked and the trees were withered.
As always, everyone ran into the surrounding woods every time they had a break.
Li Zheng's son Zhang Dabao saw that there was less and less food at home, and spontaneously followed Zhan Qingyue into the mountains to find food.
Every time I followed her into the mountains, no matter how bad I was, I could still get a few birds back to stuff my teeth.
On this day, Zhang Dabao, as always, took his bamboo basket on his back when the team stopped to rest and walked in the direction of Zhan Qingyue's residence.
Near Zhan Qingyue's residence, other villagers were already waiting.
Seeing Zhang Dabao coming, everyone greeted him warmly.
"Brother Dabao, we are discussing. The forest on the left looks very sparse and withered. I'm afraid there is nothing to eat. The forest on the right is in better condition, but the road up and down the mountain is not easy to walk."
Zhan Qingyue glanced at everyone with a polite smile on her face and asked everyone the question.
"So, which way do you think we should go?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes all focused on the forest on the right.
"Let's go to the right. Everyone has little food left. Only by getting more things can we survive."
"Dabao is right, Miss Yue, we chose to go to the right because the road is not easy to walk on. We can just walk by helping each other."
Seeing that they were in agreement, Zhan Qingyue had no choice but to lead a few people up the steep hillside on the right.
"Miss Yue, be careful, or give me the bamboo basket."
Zhang Dabao gently pushed Zhan Qingyue, who almost slipped down.
"Miss Yue, there are a lot of gravels here and the road is slippery. Please go around to the side."
Along the way, Zhang Dabao was like a follower, helping Zhan Qingyue and protecting her. He was noticed by those who were interested and turned around and spread the news.
"Master, look at your good son. He may have forgotten that you are an upright father."
Li Zheng's wife, Mrs. Qian, tilted her mouth in front of Zhang Lizheng and mocked: "It's like running after Zhan Qingyue all day long. It's not like you can't get food without her. What kind of talk is that!"
Seeing that her husband-in-law had a sullen face and didn't say a word for a long time, Qian's anger was aroused by him.
"Tell me about you. After all, you are an upright person. You can't even control your son!"
Qian pouted and muttered: "In my opinion, although our eldest son has no thoughts about Zhan Qingyue's nasty hooves, our family has a grudge against Zhan Qingyue, so he must know about it!"
Zhang Lizheng originally felt that his position as a lieutenant was already in jeopardy, but now that he heard Qian complaining about his son supporting Zhan Qingyue, maybe even he wanted that bitch to be the lieutenant, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Li was angry.
"Okay, stop nagging here. If he didn't follow me, you would have gone to the northwest."
After reprimanding Mr. Qian, Zhang Lizheng flicked his sleeves and walked out of his residence with his hands behind his back.
Many young people in the village went into the woods to look for food, and those who stayed in the team were mostly old, young, women and children.
They were lighting a fire and waiting for the people who went up the mountain to come back with food.
"Hey..." Zhang Lizheng sighed, looking up at the bright sun in the sky, feeling a little flustered by the heat.
"Miss Yue is so kind. Yesterday she saw that I couldn't dig anything in that area, so she gave me the place where she dug wild vegetables. If it weren't for her, I would have been hungry yesterday."
A young daughter-in-law was picking up some yellow wild vegetables in her hand and chatting with the middle-aged woman next to her.
"No, we women can dig some wild vegetables. Men can cut some bark and dig some grass roots. If there is no Moon Girl, where will we dig wild vegetables?"
Zhang Lizheng's face turned green as he listened to their praise of Zhan Qingyue.
He clenched his fists, eager to go up and argue with them, how could she grasp Qingyue so well!
In their anger, they heard the two of them whispering again: "I saw Miss Yue and Master Tong Sheng talking together a few days ago. They are a talented man and a beautiful woman. They are such a perfect match!"
Zhang Lizheng felt that he could hardly suppress the evil fire in his heart.
Zhan Qingyue is already difficult enough to deal with, but if you add Han Yiyun, who has an official status, it will be even better!
In just a few days, the two of them have become so prestigious. If they continue like this, he will still have the right to speak here.
It is necessary to suppress Zhan Qingyue.
Zhang Lizheng had made up his mind, and with a straight face, he angrily reprimanded the two women: "You women, if you don't hurry up and cook, you men will be waiting to eat when you come back from the mountain!"
"What are you talking about here? I think you are still not tired. If not, let's set off on our way now."
The two women turned pale, not wanting to be the target of public criticism.
Although he didn't understand where Zhang Lizhenghuo came from, he didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head hurriedly and started busy with his work.
Zhang Lizheng saw that they had stopped, so he gave up, snorted coldly, and strode back to his home station. After roaring for so long, and being in the sun for so long, his throat started to smoke.
Finally, when his son Zhang Dabao came back from the mountain, Zhang Lizheng poured him a bowl of water with a smile, pretending to be a kind old father.
"Son, it's hard work going up the mountain."
Zhang Dabao was stunned for a moment, but didn't think much about it. He took the water bowl and drank heavily.
"Son, it's a good idea for you to follow Zhan Qingyue up the mountain. She is a good child. You have to learn from her. If she makes any mistakes, come back and tell me. You young people don't know how to correct your mistakes. How can this be done!"
Zhang Dabao was a little surprised that his father, who had never dealt with Zhan Qingyue, would sometimes say good things about her.
Maybe it’s really just so that I can learn a little bit from others.
Zhang Dabao did not doubt that he was there and agreed.
"Dad, I understand what you mean. I will pay attention to her mistakes and let us all make progress together."
