Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

The gossips no longer cared about what they had discussed the past two days.

Wei Yuchen was kissed and touched, couldn't find a good man to marry, and now her face hurts from being slapped. Compared to the fact that Wei Yuchen and Geng Changshuo are engaged, all of these are just old news.

What they want to discuss now is the news. Only news can attract people, right?

Of course, regarding the engagement of Geng Changshuo and Wei Yuchen, most people's opinions are still on the Wei family's side.

Some people say that Yang Dashu's family is not a good family. They were extremely poor at the beginning, and they pestered the Wei family and insisted on getting engaged to someone else's daughter. Now that their son is a soldier and has a promising future, they go back on their word. They are really ungrateful.

There are also people who envy Geng Zhiqing: Although Geng Zhiqing is handsome, Wei Yuchen is more beautiful and has a good family background. Not only is her father a doctor who can make money, but she also has a house with two yards in front and back. Marrying Wei Yuchen is like having everything.

Some people also felt sorry for Geng Zhiqing, thinking that Wei Yuchen had her engagement broken off, had a bad reputation, and had a bad temper, and was not worthy of Geng Changshuo.

But more people were surprised that Geng Changshuo took out one hundred yuan as a dowry.

"Geng Zhiqing was able to come up with a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, which shows that he is not poor. It would have been great for your daughter to marry him. He is much more capable than that old bachelor."

"He's capable and he can come up with a hundred yuan, which is the first in our village. The Yang family didn't take a penny at the beginning!"

"Not only did they not take anything, they also benefited a lot from the Wei family. Didn't you see the compensation that Yang Dashu's family paid when the engagement was cancelled? If they didn't take advantage of them, do you think the Yang family, who are so stingy, would be willing to pay so much money?"

"Geng Zhiqing can take out 100 yuan, which shows that he knows the value of things. As for Yu Chen, he has both people and a family. How can the Yang family find such a good one? I think the Yang family will regret it sooner or later."

… …

Wei Yuchen had no idea about the discussions in the village. At the moment, she went to the mountains to collect herbs again.

The regulations of the Red Star Brigade are very humane. Before leaving work, you can receive the tasks for the next hour. If you finish them ahead of time, you can go back to do your own private work.

The village cadres felt that although autumn harvest was important, not everyone had to work. Hadn't the harvest been going smoothly before the educated youth? Now that there were more people helping, it was already good enough, and there was no need to worry about the attendance of one or two people.

Besides, if you don’t have work points, you won’t have food. As long as you don’t want food, or you pay for food yourself, you don’t have to work. The village cadres don’t care! Anyway, there are plenty of people vying for work.

The villagers don’t care much about whether others go to work or not. Some even secretly hope that the fewer people go to work, the better. After all, there are only so many things, and the more people go to work, the less they can get.

It is for this reason that Wei Yuchen is able to go up the mountain to collect herbs during this busy autumn season.

Wei Yuchen went into the mountains to collect herbs and to find the little squirrel. After all, she wanted to know more about the plot! In addition, she had another idea, which was to collect some things from the mountains and exchange them for some necessities of this era on the black market.

Although she has a space and there are many things in it, those are necessities for the end of the world, not for this era.

Occasionally, there is something that exists in this era, but for one reason or another, it cannot be brought out for the time being.

For example, the money, tickets, cloth, etc. of this era are not in her space.

When they got to the mountain, Wei Yuchen released the little white bird. The last time she went up the mountain, Wei Yuchen discovered that as long as she released the little white bird, the little squirrel would come over soon.

Sure enough, not long after Wei Yuchen released the little white bird, the little squirrel came out.

[Xiaobai, you are here? What did your master give you to eat today? ]

The little white bird is no longer as soft as it was when it was born. It is now healthy and lively and can fly freely.

However, the little white bird was still lazy and always loved to sleep. Even if Wei Yuchen released it from the space, it would still find a place to rest.

Hearing the little squirrel greet it, it hummed lazily: "Hmm."

The little squirrel found it, originally wanting it to listen to him talk, but seeing that it didn't chat with him much, he didn't care and continued to squeak:

【I miss you so much during the days you are not here. 】

Little White Bird: [Yes.]

Little Squirrel: [Don’t you know that a lot of things have happened in the mountains these days? Can I tell you about it? ]

Little White Bird: [Yeah.] ... ...

Little Squirrel: [The most interesting thing is your master's ex-mother-in-law. She made a fool of herself.]

Little White Bird: [What's wrong? ]

Little Squirrel: [That wicked woman and two men were caught by your master's ex-father-in-law, and there were also two lazy vagrants. It's really embarrassing! ]

Little White Bird: [Hmm.]...

The little squirrel talked about a lot of things, all kinds of things, and Wei Yuchen didn't have the patience to wait and listen, but she still listened to the story of Zhang Zhaodi and others stacking human figures. She laughed in her heart:

This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine, and I don't know what will happen next.

She concentrated on listening to the little squirrel's revelations, but the little squirrel talked about other things instead:

"The wild boar cub grew up and wanted to go out and see the world like a pig, but was beaten by his father. That beating was really severe..."

When Wei Yuchen heard that it had nothing to do with Zhang Zhaodi, he stopped listening.

She is also open-minded: I can hear what I am supposed to hear even if I don’t want to, and I can’t hear what I am not supposed to hear even if I want to.

After thinking it through, Wei Yuchen went about doing what he was supposed to do.

Wei Yuchen was also lucky. Not long after entering the mountain, she saw a wild rabbit looking around furtively. She picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard on the rabbit's head, hitting it directly on the head. The rabbit struggled for a few times and then fell to the ground.

Wei Yuchen walked over, threw the hare into his own space, and continued to wander around. One hare was too little, he wanted to catch a few more hares and pheasants, so that it would be worth going to the black market.

After wandering around for half a day, Wei Yuchen harvested seven pheasants and eight wild rabbits. She was just about to go somewhere else to hunt when she suddenly heard the sound of someone walking in the forest in the distance. She was startled and turned around to hide in the space.

After a while, a man came out from the depths of the woods. He had a basket on his back, two chickens in his left hand, and a roe deer in his right hand.

Wei Yuchen has good eyesight and recognized the man as Geng Changshuo at a glance.

Geng Changshuo looked around cautiously as he walked, and soon passed by, but he was not heading towards the village.

When Wei Yuchen saw this, he started to wonder: Why isn't he at work? Where is he going?

She wanted to follow him and see what was going on, but she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up and that her whereabouts would be exposed, so she gave up. She thought it would be better for her to collect more medicinal herbs in the mountains.

Wei Yuchen herself has wood-related abilities. She travels through the mountains and forests, feeling the scent of grass and trees, feeling as comfortable as a fish entering the water or a bird flying into the sky.

The Daqing Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, with steep mountains and peaks. Thousand-year-old trees and hundred-year-old ginseng grow in the mountains, and rare treasures are buried there, but there are also many hidden dangers.

There are not only small prey such as pheasants, rabbits and wild ducks, but also large animals such as wild boars, wild wolves and wild bears, as well as invisible dangers such as swamps and poisonous miasma.

If villagers go hunting in the mountains without rifles and in groups, they can only try their luck on the outskirts of the mountains. Otherwise, they may encounter danger.

It is said that more than ten years ago, a young man did not listen to the old man's advice and went into the mountains alone. As a result, he has not come out until now. People say he is missing, but everyone believes that he has become food for wild animals.

Because of this, even though they knew there were good things in the mountains, many people would rather work hard in the fields to earn work points for the team rather than go hunting in the mountains.

Every time Wei Jingchen went into the mountains to collect herbs, Wei Yikui would always warn and remind Wei Jingchen not to go deep into the mountains.

But how can you find good things if you don't go deep into the mountains? Since Wei Jingchen traveled through time, he has been consciously improving his abilities.

How can one improve his abilities without energy? How can one have energy without food? In order to obtain sufficient energy, Wei Yuchen could not just stay in the small area outside the mountain.

Wei Yuchen felt the location of the little white bird and found it was a bit far away, so he followed his feeling to find the little white bird and put it into the space.

The little white bird has already made a contract with Wei Yuchen and can sense some of Wei Yuchen's thoughts and knows that she is going to the deep mountains.

The little squirrel also saw it and squeaked anxiously: "I want to go, too. I want to go, too."

Then he passed his thoughts to Wei Yuchen: [Squirrels also want to go to the mountains.]

Wei Yuchen naturally heard it, but she didn't want to tell the little white bird and the little squirrel this secret. After listening to the message from the little white bird, she said to the little white bird:

[If it wants to go, let it go. It has nothing to do with us! ]

Little white bird: "..." That makes sense! But it still told Wei Yuchen its thoughts: [Master, it wants to enter your space. ]

Wei Yuchen: "【Okay!】

Wei Yuchen agreed to the little white bird, picked up the little squirrel and put it into the space.

Wei Yuchen put the little white bird and the little squirrel into the space and started walking into the mountains. The further he went, the bigger and older the trees became, and the weeds and shrubs became denser and taller, but the wild vegetables and medicinal herbs also became more and more numerous and more precious.

Along the way, Wei Yuchen not only saw many wild mushrooms, such as Alpinia ternata, Morchella, Matsutake, etc., but also a lot of wolfberries, bupleurum, isatis root, and even dug up several dendrobiums and picked a ganoderma lucidum.

She put all these things into her space. It wasn't that she was keeping them to herself, but she was worried that if she took them out, it would cause trouble.

She had experienced the end of the world and knew how fierce the competition for resources was. Although it was not like the end of the world now, resources were still scarce. If she carried these things down the mountain, she would definitely make many people jealous.

What is worrying is not the scarcity of things but the inequality of their distribution. If everyone gains nothing, one will feel balanced. If one person has more than others, he will be attacked by others.

In the deep mountains, Wei Yuchen also encountered many wild fruit trees, such as wild chestnut trees, wild persimmon trees, wild kiwi trees, etc. She also put these trees into her space. In addition to the courtyard, her space also has a large area for planting.

Along the way, the little squirrel and the little white bird chattered endlessly in the space.

Wei Yuchen listened casually. Although he didn't hear any useful information, he was not disappointed.

People often say that no news is the best news, and Wei Yuchen thinks this is right. The little squirrel did not reveal any plot, which means that it should be safe and sound for a while.

As Wei Yuchen walked, he came to a dense forest and suddenly saw a bunch of bright red umbrellas. He couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Ah! Red mushrooms! So beautiful!"

It's so beautiful, no wonder many people want to eat it, but unfortunately, the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is. She thought, reaching out to pick it.

"Don't pick it, it's poisonous."

A deep and rich voice came from a nearby tree. Then a man climbed down from the tree. Who else could it be but Geng Changshuo!

"Why are you here?"

Wei Yuchen withdrew his hand and asked in surprise.

"I've taken a leave of absence. I want to hunt some game and earn some money for our wedding." Geng Changshuo said as a matter of course.

He felt that they were about to become husband and wife, so they had to be honest with each other. Of course, what couldn't be said, well, had to be kept secret.

After answering Wei Yuchen's question, he pointed to the patch of bright red mushrooms and said, "This kind of mushroom cannot be eaten, it's poisonous! Haven't you heard people say it? Red umbrella, white stem, if you eat it, you will lie flat on your back. This is the red mushroom I'm talking about."

"Have you ever eaten it? You said it can't be eaten! How do you know it can't be eaten!" Wei Yuchen asked curiously.

"I've eaten it, and it made me feel sick and vomit, and I also had hallucinations." Geng Changshuo explained with a smile, "How could I lie to you about this? There would be no good consequences if I lied to you."

"You're right. Red mushrooms, white mushrooms, and red mushrooms are not edible. But not all red mushrooms are inedible. The kind we want to pick is non-toxic. Don't believe me? We can give it a try."

As she spoke, she picked the bright red mushrooms one by one, and then pointed to one and said, "This mushroom is called red pine mushroom, also known as red mushroom. It is a precious edible mushroom. It tastes delicious, has high nutritional value, and can be used as medicine. However, this kind of red pine mushroom is rare. Only the red mushroom growing under the red pine forest is the real red pine mushroom. I didn't expect there is such a large area here."

Geng Changshuo looked around and was surprised to find that this was indeed Hong Weilin. He gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Great!"

"Of course, I know a lot of medicinal herbs and I'm very strong, how can I not be powerful?" Wei Yuchen was a little proud.

But Geng Changshuo's next words were heartbreaking: "I know you are strong, knowledgeable, and very capable, but you should not come to the mountains in the future!"

"why?"

Geng Changshuo smiled slightly and was about to answer when his face suddenly changed and he rushed towards Wei Yuchen.
