Chapter 92 Strange People

It was Grandma Huo who said, "Okay, don't worry. Since Xiao Ye is here, there must be more than one person. We have to trust them. For the rest, just take care of ourselves and don't hold them back."

Grandpa Huo also nodded, "Yes, our soldiers are still very reliable. If they know about this, they will have countermeasures."

Father Zhao and Mother Zhao had no choice but to put aside their worries, as they were still afraid of harming their children.

The next few days were uneventful.

Wen Xin and the others were at school peacefully, preparing for the final exam.

Huo Xunye also went to work normally, and few villagers even came to talk to him.

This time Tian Wenxin, Zhao Wanqing, and Li Qian went to the mountain to collect firewood after school as usual.

Just after cutting for a while, I met Qi Yu from the Educated Youth Academy.

What's even stranger is that Qi Yu actually took the initiative to come over and talk to them.

"What a coincidence. Are you here to collect firewood too?" Qi Yu came over with a gentle tone and a smile.

Li Qian was the first to react, "Yes, did you come here on your own?"

Qi Yu said a little aggrievedly, "Yes. Apart from you, I am the only female educated youth left. I can only do it by myself."

Hearing this, Wen Xin felt a little uncomfortable. Is it because they didn't take her with them when they were collecting firewood?

Before Wen Xin could think about it, Qi Yu continued, "Sister Qian, can you take me with you when you come to collect firewood in the future? I'm a little scared to come to the mountain by myself, and I'm embarrassed to call them male educated youths."

After saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment, his hand still unconsciously clasping the small branch he was holding.

Li Qian glanced at Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing, both of whom nodded before replying, "Okay. Anyway, we come here at a fixed time every day. You can just wait for us at the foot of the mountain."

Qi Yu's face was a little stiff, and then he said, "Can I go to the school and wait for you? I haven't been there since the school was built. I want to go in and have a look, okay?"

Wen Xin raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. Why did she have to enter the school?

Zhao Wanqing explained, "Qi Educated Youth, you can usually go there and watch by yourself. You don't have to wait for us. It's just that the school does not allow outsiders to come in and out during school hours. This is also for the safety of the students."

Qi Yu stood there, feeling annoyed in her heart. They were really a bunch of stupid people who didn't know how to adapt. She had said so. These people had no mercy at all.

Qi Yu calmed down, his face softened, and he reluctantly said, "Okay, I understand, then I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

Before anyone could speak, he hurriedly explained, "I actually didn't mean anything else. I just felt it was a pity that I didn't pass the teacher's examination at that time. I wanted to go in and have a look, so as to improve my abilities. I thought I'd have a chance next time." Take the test again.”

Li Qian consoled her, "We understand. I hope you can pass the exam successfully next time, then we can be colleagues."

Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing also echoed.

Qi Yu nodded shyly, said nothing, and carried out his introversion to the end.

Wen Xin said, "Let's collect firewood quickly. It's getting late and we have to go back to eat."

After that, several people separated in several directions and started working.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Qi Yu always bumped into Zhao Wanqing.

When they met for the third time, Zhao Wanqing was a little helpless, "Qi Zhiqing, the place here is quite big. We can spread out a little more so that we can find more."

Qi Yu acted as if he didn't understand, and smiled shyly and said, "I think maybe Zhao Zhiqing and I are destined to be together today. We bumped into each other several times when we walked together. Where is Zhao Zhiqing from?"

Zhao Wanqing was busy collecting firewood and said nonchalantly, "I'm from Shanghai."

Qi Yu looked at the people in front of him without raising their heads, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he said gently, "That's such a big city. Are your parents willing to let you go to the countryside?"

Zhao Wanqing made a movement with her hands, her eyes flashed, and she said casually, "What's the point of not giving up? My parents are very happy to build the countryside."

Qi Yu smiled awkwardly, "Really? That's pretty good."

After Zhao Wanqing finished speaking, she asked nonchalantly, "What about Qi Zhiqing? Where are you from?"

Qi Yu said, "I am from Xiangcheng."

Zhao Wanqing nodded clearly, "Oh, Xiangcheng. I heard that this place is quite good. Is it customary for educated youths to stay here?"

Qi Yu smiled and replied, "I'm quite used to it. I've been here for such a long time, what else can I not get used to?"

"Then do your parents usually send you letters?"

Qi Yu's voice paused, his face became stiff, and the branches in his hands broke with a click, "My family rarely sends letters, and they feel very relieved about me."

"Oh, that's it." Seeing Qi Yu's appearance, Zhao Wanqing silently changed direction to collect firewood and stopped talking to her.

Qi Yu squatted on the spot, face lowered, holding the branch tightly in his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Wen Xin called out, "Wanqing, Sister Qian, it's almost done, let's go back."

When he came over and saw Qi Yu squatting, he quickly asked, "Qi Zhiqing, we are going back, shall we together?"

Qi Yu then raised his head and said in a gentle voice, "You guys go back first. I plan to pick it up for a while. I don't have much today."

Wen Xin glanced at her backpack and nodded, "Okay, then please pay attention to safety and go back early. Let's leave first."

After that, Wen Xin and the others left directly.

Watching them leave, Qi Yu could hardly control the anger and jealousy in her heart.

Suddenly a male voice came from behind, "How's it going? Did you get any information out of Zhao Wanqing?"

Qi Yu's voice was cold, "No, she is very vigilant and didn't say anything useful."

Instead, she stabbed him indirectly.

The man said in a contemptuous tone, "Then I hope you will do it as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to help you."

Qi Yu turned around and said angrily, "I have never spoken to her before. Now you just ask me to approach her and trick her. How can it be so easy? I need time."

The man in black said forcefully, "We don't have that much time. We made an agreement before, you help me find out the news about her parents, and I will help you return to the city."

His voice changed and he said coldly, "But if you never gain anything, then you have no value, and our deal will be voided. You can stay in this country for the rest of your life."

Qi Yu was a little afraid of him, and also afraid that he would be in the countryside for the rest of his life. He quickly promised, "I will definitely ask for information as soon as possible."

Only then did the man in black smile, "That's right, I will never forget our agreement. After getting the news about her parents, you quietly go to the cowshed at night and get close to the people there."

Hearing this, Qi Yu recoiled in courage, "Our deal was just to get the news about her parents, we didn't go to the bullpen."
