Chapter 28: Collect some interest first

Hearing the reason that was almost exactly what she had guessed, He Wanqing glanced at He Cao, took her hand, and walked towards the mountain path. They were very close to the mountain from their current position, they just had to follow this path all the way, there was no need to go back to the village. The two sisters walked ahead, deliberately leaving He Cao behind, making He Cao, who was behind them, full of anger but unable to get between them. Watching the two of them discussing this and that all the way, if it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t kill, He Cao would have wanted to silence them both to vent her anger.

 The three of them walked one after the other, until they reached the foot of the mountain and met up with the two intellectuals, then they quickened their pace and walked up the mountain. When they reached the mountain, He Cao, who had prepared herself, watched the four of them wandering around like headless flies, and smirked, “Alright, stop wandering around, follow me, I know where there are fresh and tender wild vegetables.”

 Under the questioning gazes of the four, she turned her butt and walked straight towards the place she had been before. He Wanqing, who had been to this mountain countless times in her previous life, naturally knew that there were abundant wild vegetables there, but she didn’t want to speak. Because she didn’t know why He Cao came to find her today, if she said it rashly, it would be bad. The four of them looked at each other, then looked around, and found that the nearby area had been dug up, then they took their own vegetable baskets and followed He Cao into the mountain. Feeling the footsteps of the four following her, He Cao glanced at the four with disdain, and quickened her pace into the mountain. The four of them followed her, winding and turning for a long time, just when they were about to protest, “We’re here, it’s right here, the soil here is moist and full of water, the wild vegetables are abundant and delicious.”

 He Cao’s sudden happy voice made the four of them retract their protests that were about to come out. Then, the four of them lowered their heads and found that there were indeed many wild vegetables on the ground, and no one had picked them yet, so they felt a little better. After seeing the types of wild vegetables on the ground, He Wanqing glanced at He Cao who had already squatted down and started digging, then looked around, finally found that there was no danger, and then nodded to Shen Ping.

Receiving the signal, Shen Ping took her vegetable basket and happily ran to the side to start picking. There were tender monkey legs and noodles everywhere, pick them home, wash them, wrap them in dumplings, or stir-fry them, they were delicious. Hu Yue and Liu Qing, who were standing there, found that they didn’t recognize the wild vegetables they were picking, so they looked at each other and went to He Wanqing to ask.

Seeing this, knowing that the two of them had come down to the countryside after the autumn harvest last year, so they were unfamiliar with these, she took the two of them to identify the various edible wild vegetables on the ground. Until the two of them nodded, confirming that they were familiar, she started picking. Looking at the monkey legs, Huai cuisine… she remembered the scene of going up the mountain in her previous life. In her previous life, when she was the only one left in her family, she worked during the day and went up the mountain at night with the flashlight her brother sent her to pick wild vegetables to sell. Fortunately, there were many of these on the mountain, and she was diligent, so she earned a lot. It was just that when she got older, her waist and legs were not good.

Thinking about how the two white-eyed wolves and Zhu Sanni’s family looked down on her every time her waist and legs ached, her eyes turned red again. She looked at He Cao who was walking down the slope, and Hu Yue and Liu Qing who were walking to both sides, thinking about the white-eyed wolf in her stomach, her hand clenched into a fist again. She changed the position of her basket, picking as she walked towards He Cao.

Shen Ping, who was not far from her, saw this and was about to pick up her vegetable basket and follow her, but she was stopped by her eyes. She signaled her to keep an eye on Hu Yue and Liu Qing, and then she continued picking and walking down. There was a gully not far away, people on top couldn’t see anyone there unless they stuck their heads out, it was perfect for beating someone up. Perhaps He Wanqing’s resentment towards beating people was too deep, even the heavens were helping her.

When she had filled her basket with wild vegetables and looked up, she found that Shen Ping had already taken Hu Yue and Liu Qing to the other side, and they were facing away from her. She turned her head and looked at He Cao who was already in the gully, deliberately took half of the wild vegetables out of her basket and put them in the space, then placed the basket not far from the three of them. Then she flashed into the space, took out a pitch-black thick cloth. Then she quietly went down to the gully from the other side, and when He Cao was busy picking vegetables and didn’t notice, she covered her head with the black cloth.

She used both hands, one to cover her mouth and the other to start hitting her left and right. She hit her twenty times in a row, and when she whimpered and begged for mercy, she gave her two more headshots, jammed her vegetable basket on her head, and then returned the way she came. On the way, she sent the blood-stained cloth back to the space, then washed her hands with water until there was no trace of blood left, and then returned to where she had left the basket. She took a look at the three people in front of her, deliberately made a rustling sound to show that she hadn’t left, and then continued picking wild vegetables.

When she filled her basket again in no time, she pretended to get up casually, “Little sister, my basket is full, is yours full? If it is, let’s go home.” Her gaze slowly moved to the bottom, and when she saw He Cao still lying there, she continued, “Did you see my cousin Cao? She just disappeared for a while, I don’t know where she went to pick, don’t let her meet a wild boar or a wolf or something.”

 She said worriedly, her eyes looked at the gully, but her face was full of joy, she didn’t know why He Cao wanted to call her today? She was careless, she should have waited for her to finish speaking before beating her, now it’s good, she doesn’t know anything. The three of them heard her say this and also got up and looked around, but no one looked down the slope. He Cao was forced to lie there for a while, until she heard an unusual sound from a distance, then she took off the vegetable basket on her head, packed the scattered wild vegetables into the basket, and ran up.

 The four of them were on top, about to go down to look for her: “……..” What did she do to her face, it was swollen and covered in blood? Should they ask or not?

“Cousin, she… like this~?” She wanted to ask if she was the one who did it, but then she remembered her bad health, and immediately denied it in her heart. Her cousin had been in poor health since she was a child, it couldn’t be her? Then who was it? Shen Ping glanced at the two beside her and continued to shake her head, the three of them were together! Just then, she saw the movement at the bottom of the slope, found that there was a wild boar, and immediately pointed to the bottom, “Sister, there’s a wild boar, no wonder He Cao ran so fast.”

 She said with a hint of meaning, picked up the vegetable basket on the ground, and pulled her to run, “Hu Zhiqing, Liu Zhiqing, run, don’t stand there like fools.” Seeing that the two of them didn’t move, Shen Ping, who was possessed by her old mother, immediately shouted to them loudly.
