Seeing that Liu Pan'er had cheered up, Wen Li returned to the educated youth compound with Chen Yan.

With Jiang Yue'er around, Liu Pan'er can finally recover properly these next few days!

In the afternoon, Wen Li continued the work she hadn't finished in the morning, but Aunt Liu, who usually liked to chat with Wen Li, turned her head away as soon as she saw her.

Wen Li touched her nose. Well, it seems she has completely offended the village chief's family.

However, since she has already received the banner and the letter of commendation, she doesn't need to worry too much.

Nothing much happened in the village for the next two days. Wen Li was still waiting for Zhang Yaozong to come and cause her trouble, but later she heard from Aunt Wang that Zhang Yaozong had not returned yet.

After Liu Pan'er returned home, whenever Wang Youlan dared to make a move, she would run towards the Jiang family. Jiang Yue'er tried to stop her several times, but Wang Youlan continued to do as she pleased, chasing after Liu Pan'er and beating her. Each time, Liu Pan'er would deliberately make herself look very disheveled, causing the villagers to watch several commotions.

Jiang Yue'er was also exhausted by this family. In the end, it was Jiang Laosan who stepped in and threatened Wang Youlan for some reason before Wang Youlan finally calmed down.

Wen Li heard the news from Li Xiangxiang, the scorekeeper. Li Xiangxiang was the daughter of the brigade leader and was elected as the scorekeeper because she had attended high school.

Wen Li interacted with her every day, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. Mainly, Li Xiangxiang was more fond of gossip than the village aunties and grandmas. In addition, she always thought Jiang Yue'er was hypocritical. A few days ago, she saw Wen Li trick Jiang Yue'er, so the two quickly got along well.

"You need to be careful these next few days. That scoundrel Zhang Yaozong is coming back. Be careful he doesn't cause you trouble!"

Looking at Wen Li's exquisite little face, Li Xiangxiang became even more worried.

Recently, those hooligans in the village have disappeared, which is why Wen Li has been living such a peaceful life. Once they return, with Wen Li's face that attracts everyone's attention, she probably won't have a peaceful day anymore.

"Don't worry, I've been strong since I was a kid. Those weaklings are no match for me!"

Wen Li learned Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) in modern times, and now with her body modified by the spiritual spring water, dealing with a few thugs would be a piece of cake.

Li Xiangxiang knew that Wen Li was capable at work, but she was still worried about her.

"If they dare to cause you trouble, come to me. They won't dare touch me!"

Wen Li smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, I got it. You go ahead and get busy! I need to go gather firewood too!"

After saying goodbye to Li Xiangxiang, Wen Li went straight to the back mountain. She had been staying in the village for the past few days, worried that Liu Pan'er would suffer, and hadn't been up the mountain for several days.

Once on the mountain, Wen Li headed straight into the depths. After exploring for some time, she had figured out where there were plenty of branches and no wild animals.

Along the way, she collected a lot of firewood and also shot two pheasants.

The hare ran too fast, and Wen Li's aim when throwing stones was terrible. Every time she made a move, the hare had already run several meters away.

She has been practicing her aim during this time. Her body has been transformed by the spiritual spring water, making her incomparable to ordinary people. She believes that with a little more practice, she will be able to hit the bullseye every time.

As she ventured deeper into the mountains, the trees grew denser and the temperature gradually cooled down.

"Jiang, be careful!"

A familiar voice came from behind a tree, and Wen Li instinctively hid behind it.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have seen a figure flash by not far away, but the figure dodged too quickly, and Jiang Chen was not sure if he had imagined it.

He gestured to Jiang Yue'er and said in a normal tone, "I'm fine. I just saw a pheasant run by!"

Jiang Yue'er immediately understood Jiang Chen's meaning and continued chatting with him as if nothing had happened.

Hearing the two people quietly approaching, Wen Li, who was standing behind the tree, immediately slipped into her spatial dimension.

She had only been inside for a short while when she heard two people talking outside.

"Looks like you're seeing things!"

Jiang Chen looked at the trampled weeds under the tree roots and glanced around in confusion.

He circled the area again to make sure no one was around before speaking, "Someone went deep into the mountains today!"

"Huh? Then... what should we do?" Jiang Yue'er looked flustered.

"It's nothing, it's probably just a coincidence!"

After the two left, Wen Li began to recall the plot of the original book. She remembered that Jiang Chen returned to the Qianjin Brigade to go to the countryside, partly to avoid being implicated by his family.

One of the most important reasons is that the Jiang family patriarch knew a friend who hid a treasure in the back mountains during the war.

Now that the Jiang family has been betrayed, all their possessions have been handed over, and even the items hidden in the secret room have been looted. So the Jiang family has set their sights on this treasure.

However, decades have passed, times have changed, and the old master of the Jiang family only heard about the general location from his friend, so Jiang Chen did not know the location of the treasure.

In the original book, the male and female protagonists eventually found the treasure together, and the female protagonist eventually stored it all in her spatial dimension.

The male and female protagonists used this treasure to buy up real estate and land in Beijing. The male protagonist even took advantage of the reform and opening up policy to vigorously develop real estate, and in the end, the two became the richest people in the country.

Wen Li's eyes lit up. The original book said that her friend had died during the war, which meant that the treasure was unclaimed. Although Wen Li did not know where the treasure was hidden, she knew its general characteristics!

Instead of using it as seed money for the male and female leads, why can't Wen Li keep it for herself?

Wen Li instantly had a goal in mind. It seemed that she couldn't just focus on collecting firewood anymore; she also needed to find the location of the treasure.

Now that she has space, she can move her things away without anyone noticing. Thinking about her future life of leisure, Wen Li suddenly felt full of energy.

She stayed in the space for more than half an hour before leaving. It was already late, and Wen Li carried a basket of firewood down the mountain.

They hadn't gone far when they saw Li Lingling talking to a man in the distance.

Wen Li wondered if she had gotten incredibly lucky. She hadn't been up the mountain for a few days, and the first time she did, she encountered so many people plotting something.

The man was short, dark-skinned, and dressed in faded clothes. He looked like an ordinary farmer. He was very humble when facing Li Lingling, and even bowed slightly when he spoke.

The distance was a bit far, and Wen Li couldn't hear what the two were saying, but judging from Li Lingling's serious expression, she was probably instructing the man to do something.

Wen Li wanted to get closer, but as soon as she lifted her foot, the bushes made a slight rustling sound. Fearing that she might alert them, she could only hide in the shadows and observe.

The man's face was unfamiliar. She had seen most of the people from the Qianjin Brigade before. Judging from his clothes, he must have worked in the fields all year round, so he wasn't from the Qianjin Brigade. Perhaps he was from one of the surrounding villages.
