Yu Nuan stayed for a while longer and saw that everyone had skillfully mended the holes in their clothes. You couldn't tell they were mended unless you looked closely.

Yu Nuan watched in amazement, realizing how lacking she was in sewing.

"By the way, do you know how to knit sweaters? I want to knit a sweater for my parents."

"Xiao Ni is quite good at knitting sweaters; she can even knit several different patterns," Wu Xianya said.

"Really? Xiao Ni, could you teach me?"

"No problem." Li Xiaoni agreed without hesitation. Yu Nuan was usually very kind to them, so this little thing was no big deal to Li Xiaoni; she could easily help with the knitting.

"By the way, Yu Nuan, are you free tomorrow? We're planning to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, and some wild fruits are ripe too. Would you like to come along?"

"Go, when are you leaving? I'll come find you."

"Come to the educated youth compound at seven o'clock in the morning, and we'll set off together."

In previous years, villagers would go out together to pick wild mushrooms and wild fruits at this time of year to earn some extra income for their families. They would also dry the wild fruits to make some winter snacks for their children.

After agreeing on a time, Yu Nuan stayed a little longer before going home; she didn't dare go back alone any later.

After returning home, Yu Nuan selected several different colors of yarn from her spatial storage, thinking of knitting a red one for her mother, a blue one for her father, and a navy blue one for her younger brother.

After learning how to knit, she would knit one for herself. All the ones she collected were machine-knitted ready-made ones, and Yu Nuan dared not wear them out.

For dinner, Yu Nuan cooked herself two dishes and a soup. Her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds; while her dishes may not be as good as a professional chef's, they have a more homely flavor. Yu Nuan is very satisfied with her current cooking skills. She is at a crucial stage of growth and doesn't want to develop a malnourished body.

After choosing an outfit to wear tomorrow, Yu Nuan set an alarm for herself to wake up early.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling, jingle-a-ling-a-ling..."

Yu Nuan was awakened by a ringing alarm. Still half asleep, she turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. Suddenly, she remembered that she was going up the mountain with Wu Xianya and the others today, so she forced herself to get up.

With her eyes closed, she picked up the clothes from the bedside and changed. She went to the kitchen to wash her face before she was fully awake. After washing up, Yu Nuan made herself a simple breakfast.

A cup of hot milk, two fried egg pancakes, and a freshly picked apple.

After dinner, Yu Nuan checked the time and realized it was almost time. She slung her carefully chosen backpack over her shoulder; its style and color weren't too out of place for this era. The backpack was stuffed full of snacks and dry food; they planned to go into the mountains today and not return until dinnertime.

When Yu Nuan arrived at the educated youth compound, everyone was already ready to leave.

"Sister Xianya, Xiao Nina is here!"

"We've been waiting for you, let's go!" Zhang Nana stepped forward and hugged Yu Nuan's arm.

"Yu Nuan, you look really good in this outfit, and you even look quite capable," Wu Xianya praised after seeing Yu Nuan's attire.

Yu Nuan was dressed in a dark green work uniform. The clothes didn't have any markings, but they looked a bit more refined than the clothes of this era, though that wouldn't arouse much suspicion. She wore mid-length rubber boots, taking into account the various insects that might be found in the mountains.

"My mom mailed it to me, specifically for me to wear while working. Hello Brother Li, are you also going up the mountain?"

When she reached the door, Yu Nuan saw the male educated youths coming over and greeted them.

"Yes, we boys will go and chop some firewood for winter. You guys be careful when you get to the mountain, and don't go too deep into the mountains."

Li Yu was the oldest, and he took care of all the educated youth like an older brother.

"I know, Brother Li. You always say it, and I've memorized it. Besides, it's not our first time going up the mountain," Zhang Nana said jokingly after hearing this.

"Okay, let's go! It's getting late."

A large group of people set off up the mountain. Wu Xianya led Yu Nuan and the others to a familiar hillside, while Li Yu led the men to another area with more trees.

Looking at the mushrooms, Yu Nuan was initially interested in picking them, but after a while, she got bored. Seeing the three of them picking them enthusiastically, she didn't want to disturb them.

Anyway, she didn't lack food, so she went somewhere else by herself. There was an unnamed sea of ​​flowers there, not far from everyone.

Yu Nuan picked a bunch of flowers, wove them into a wreath and wore it on her head. She also wove a bracelet for herself, humming a little tune and having a great time.

Suddenly, Yu Nuan heard a noise beside her and was startled, so she quickly stood up. Having taken the elixir, Yu Nuan was more perceptive than the average person.

"Who's over there?" Yu Nuan looked warily toward the source of the noise.

She was about to go forward to check when she suddenly remembered there were snakes on the mountain, and snakes were the creatures Yu Nuan was most afraid of. Her scalp tingled instantly, and she wanted to run away, but in her nervousness, she didn't see the tree branch that tripped her up. In a panic, she shouted "Help!" She thought to herself that this was it, because there was a steep slope next to her, and if she fell down the slope, she would be done for. Even if she didn't die, she would definitely be injured.

Wu Xianya and the others heard Yu Nuan's voice and rushed over.

She didn't feel the pain she had imagined; instead, she felt an extra arm around her waist. Yu Nuan turned her head and saw a pair of cold eyes staring at her. The man had sharp features and his whole demeanor was icy and unapproachable.

"Yu Nuan, what's wrong?"

When Wu Xianya and the others arrived, they saw Yu Nuan being supported by a soldier and asked her with concern.

Yu Nuan snapped out of her daze and quickly stood up straight, saying, "I almost fell just now, but he caught me and prevented me from falling." Yu Nuan didn't know how to address the soldier in front of her.

As soon as Yu Nuan finished speaking, five or six people, all dressed in military uniforms, stood up beside her.

Yu Nuan and the others were startled. One of them introduced Yu Nuan, "This is our captain, Shen Chenyi. By the way, young lady, do you have a boyfriend? What do you think of our captain? He's handsome, loyal, and family-oriented."

The speaker was Zhang Xi, who had grown up with Shen Chenyi. She watched her best friend, with his cold demeanor, extinguish all her potential suitors. As a friend, how could she bear to see him end up alone? She had finally witnessed him heroically rescuing her; how could she let him go?

Actually, they saw it as soon as Yu Nuan arrived. Today they were training in stealth, and they came to this place to have a more realistic experience.

Watching Yu Nuan walk among the flowers, like a flower fairy described in a book, they had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and were so attracted by her beauty that they immediately revealed their true colors.

"Hello, my name is Li Yunuan. Thank you for helping me earlier."

"Be more careful next time." Even though Shen Chenyi was speaking with concern, it sounded like a reprimand.

Seeing his friend's cold face, Zhang Xi knew he couldn't possibly get a wife, so he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands again.

"Your name is Yu Nuan, right? That's a beautiful name, and you're pretty too. My name is Zhang Xi. Our captain is really wonderful; you'll never regret marrying him..."

Zhang Xi went on and on about all the good qualities of their captain, which made Yu Nuan extremely embarrassed. Since they were not familiar with each other, Yu Nuan had the illusion that she was on a blind date.

Yu Nuan realized that they had seen everything she did, and all she wanted to do was get away as quickly as possible. She had never been so embarrassed before.

Fortunately, Shen Chenyi interrupted Zhang Xi's long speech.

"Zhang Xi, return to the team."

"Yes, Captain."

Shen Chenyi turned to Yu Nuan and said, "Don't come to the mountain alone in the future."

"I know, I'm with them." Yu Nuan answered subconsciously when she heard Shen Chenyi's reprimand, which sounded like that of a headmaster.
