Gu Qinghuan also sat down on the big rock, his heart beating loudly.

Fortunately, Jiang Xue did not die, otherwise she would probably have nightmares for a long time because the scene just now was too scary.

Imagine a woman who died tragically hanging under a crooked tree in a mountain village forest, swaying in the wind...

Jiang Xue took a long time to catch her breath before she recovered.

She sat up with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice like a broken gong pot: "Thank you, how did you come here?"

"When I was going home, I saw you walking into the mountains alone. You went into the mountains after dark. I thought something was wrong, so I followed you to check it out." Gu Qinghuan explained in shock.

"Luckily you came, thank you!" This thank you was extremely sincere. If it weren't for Gu Qinghuan today, she would have really died and turned into a lonely ghost, without even anyone to pay tribute to her.

All the hatred between the two seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only calmness and relief.

"Why did you do this for no reason? You scared me to death. I thought you..." Gu Qinghuan patted his chest.

"Do you think I'm dead?" Jiang Xue let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh from her throat, as if she was mocking herself.

"Gu Qinghuan, you know what? I really envy you!

I used to envy you for being able to win Chen Jianghe's favor without any effort.

I envy you for having fallen into the quagmire, yet still living like a lotus that is untainted by the mud, so proud.

I always want to break your pride.

Now I envy you even more. I envy you for having the courage to face everything, I envy you for always being able to survive, turn defeat into victory, and overcome danger. Why can't I?

I am the same as you! My parents were beaten into the lowest class and sent to the northwest. Now I am the only one left.

I wish I could wake up one day and realize that all this was fake and never happened!" A tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Gu Qinghuan immediately understood. It turned out that such a big change had happened in her family. No wonder she was in such a bad mental state recently and couldn't accept it and wanted to commit suicide.

"You...you won't go..." die again?

Gu Qinghuan was afraid that she would become unhappy again if she left.

Jiang Xue knew what she wanted to say.

"No! Don't worry! Just now when I was hanging there and about to suffocate, I had already figured it out. It's better to live a miserable life than to die.

If you can live like a human being, why can't I?"

Gu Qinghuan's heart dropped again. This guy was so talkative, just like an indestructible cockroach. He would definitely not die.

"Okay, if you're okay, get up and go back to the educated youth point. You don't need me to help you, do you?" Gu Qinghuan deliberately provoked her.

Jiang Xue slowly got up from the ground, and took the rope away with her.

With the light of Gu Qinghuan's flashlight, the two of them walked down the mountain, one step deep and one step shallow.

The two of them didn't speak any more along the way.

Gu Qinghuan didn't want to pay attention to her, for fear of making herself angry.

Jiang Xue was embarrassed and ashamed. She had not been very nice to Gu Qinghuan in the past. She often mocked her, made sarcastic remarks and bullied her.

But if it weren't for her today, her life would be in danger. The person she felt sorry for saved her without holding a grudge. You can imagine how she feels.

Gu Qinghuan always took her to the vicinity of the educated youth site.

"It's almost there, so I won't take you there. Go back and don't do stupid things again. Life has ups and downs, and no one can predict it!" Gu Qinghuan rarely said a word of comfort.

"Thank you so much this time, Gu Qinghuan. I owe you my life. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know."

Jiang Xue's face was flushed, and it was hard to see clearly because of the darkness.

"No, we don't owe each other anything. I hope you don't cause me trouble." Gu Qinghuan declined and waved his hand, ready to leave.

"That..." Jiang Xue hesitated to speak.

"What else?"

"Can you please not tell anyone about what just happened..." Jiang Xue said in a low voice awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I'm very busy and don't have time for gossip." The implication was that he would keep it a secret for her.

It's not just about the hanging, but also about the changes in her family.

The person who knows you best is often your enemy. Jiang Xue believed that she knew Gu Qinghuan very well. Since she had promised, she would not go back on her word.

Gu Qinghuan is a person with a sense of pride, or perhaps aloofness, in his bones.

Jiang Xue finally felt relieved and limped towards the educated youth center. Gu Qinghuan watched her enter the center before leaving.

All this trouble in the middle of the night made her break out in a cold sweat. She had to go back and take a hot bath.

Only after putting the two children to bed did Gu Qinghuan have time to enter the space.

First, the animals on the ranch were fed with food, and then artificial rainfall was brought to the plants in the planting area.

By the time she was soaking in the bathtub with her face mask on, it was already half past ten in the evening.

I don’t know what happened to Xu Huaian. Apart from the letter reporting that he was safe, there has been no news since then.

To Gu Lanting, Ming Ruxue and Zhong Luoning, in addition to the letter reporting safety, a second letter also arrived.

Gu Lanting and Ming Ruxue went to school as usual and wrote about their daily lives, which Gu Qinghuan read with great interest.

With the help of Xiao Zhuo, Zhong Luoning has found a relatively free and easy job as a piano tutor for two children from wealthy families.

It is equivalent to one-on-one private tutoring in later generations. The fee is charged by class hours, five yuan per class, two classes per week, and a total of four classes for two children.

That’s twenty dollars a week, eighty dollars a month, which is a very good income.

After all, it is so easy and you only need to work sixteen hours a month to get the salary of a senior technician.

The tone in Zhong Luo Ning's letter was obviously much more relaxed. It seems that no matter what time, being able to support herself is a woman's greatest confidence.

In this way, Gu Qinghuan can rest assured.
