The poor girl from the 1970s was forced to kiss by the damp educated youth.

Xi Lang scooped out a bowl of flour, cracked four poached eggs into it, added some salt and pepper, and stirred it into a batter. Beside him were chopped chives and scallions. He asked Chen Zhi, "Would you like a chive and egg pancake, or a scallion and egg pancake?"

Chen Zhi: "I want to eat both."

Xi Lang: "Then let's do both."

He took out a thick, black frying pan that looked quite old.

Once the pan was hot, she poured in some lard, then poured in the batter and spread it out. Soon, the pan emitted a fragrant aroma. Chen Zhi's mouth watered uncontrollably; it was overflowing. She dared not speak, afraid her saliva would spill out.

In less than five minutes, the first pancake was ready.

"Bring me a plate," Xi Lang ordered.

Chen Zhi quickly picked up a plate from the side and placed it in front of Xi Lang. Xi Lang didn't take it, but shoveled the pancake into the plate instead, saying, "You eat first, I'll make the second one."

Chen Zhi didn't stand on ceremony with him. She picked up a corner of the pancake with her chopsticks and took a bite.

It's very hot!

Chen Zhi breathed on it, feeling like her tongue was about to burn, but she couldn't bear to spit out the pancake.

It's so delicious!

Not far away, Li Zhou'an and several other educated youths watched this scene.

Yang Wenyu said enviously, "Xi Lang's meals are really good."

Zhao Jinbao swallowed hard. "He probably doesn't earn many work points himself; his family must have mailed him money and ration coupons, right?"

Zhou Zhengping: "His family must be well-off."

At this moment, everyone regretted that if they had known Xi Lang was such a good catch, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to drive him away.

Zhu Yuan: "Is the woman next to Xi Lang that unlucky Chen Zhi?"

As Zhu Yuan said this, she turned to look at Li Zhou'an. Wasn't Li Zhou'an quite protective of Chen Zhi? Now that he saw Chen Zhi with Xi Lang, would he be disappointed in Chen Zhi?

Zhu Yuan was very curious about what Li Zhou'an would say.

However, Li Zhou'an's expression was a little cold, and he didn't reply.

Zhao Yiqing chuckled, "This country girl is indeed cheap; one meal is enough to swindle her away."

"......"

That's a rather harsh remark.

The male educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Zhou'an turned around first and walked away without looking back.

Chen Zhi plans to take a day off today and not do any housework; she's going to the mountains to find wild eggs.

She borrowed a basket, salt, and matches from Xilang.

If she could catch prey, she would roast it and eat it in the mountains.

Xi Lang listened to her plan, said nothing, and put a few potatoes into her basket, "If you can't hunt, roast potatoes."

Chen Zhi looked at the few potatoes, and her nose tingled with emotion.

Her family didn't care whether she would go hungry, but Xi Lang, an outsider, had considered the worst-case scenario for her and made thorough preparations for her.

"I'm sure I can catch some prey, and I'll bring it back for you tonight as an extra treat," Chen Zhi said with a smile.

Xi Lang nodded. "I believe you. But safety comes first."

Chen Zhi waved her hand, "I'm not a child, I know what's important. See you tonight."

As Chen Zhi turned around, tears streamed down her face.

No one had ever told her this before.

Xi Lang is so nice. I wish he were her brother.

Today Chen Zhi went to another mountain range, where there were more trees and it was more difficult to walk.

Chen Zhi didn't encounter many people along the way, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the chirping of insects and birds.

Chen Zhi used to be afraid of the dark and afraid to go up the mountain alone, but now, for some reason, she is no longer afraid and instead feels a sense of familiarity with the mountains.

She picked up a lot of pebbles along the way, filling both pockets of her pants, and then put them into her basket.

As soon as Chen Zhi went up the mountain, she encountered a large bird. She didn't know its name, but it was very common in their area. Chen Zhi chased after the bird with her slingshot, but when she reached halfway up the mountain, the bird disappeared.

She drew her bow more than ten times, but missed once.

Chen Zhi leaned against a tree to rest for a while, and was about to continue when she turned her head and saw a small mulberry grove not far away. Chen Zhi suddenly remembered that Li Zhou'an had said yesterday that he was going to pick mulberries, and wondered if he had picked any.

Chen Zhi walked towards the mulberry grove.

It's now early April, and mulberries are starting to bear fruit, but most are still green, with only a very small portion ripe.

Chen Zhi hung the slingshot back on his waist and began climbing the tree to pick the ripe mulberries.

An hour later, Chen Zhi swept through the mulberry grove and picked about two pounds of mulberries. Chen Zhi only ate a few before she couldn't bear to eat them all. She planned to divide the mulberries in two, giving one part to Li Zhou'an and the other part to Xi Lang.

Chen Zhi swallowed hard, picked up the basket, took out a slingshot, and began practicing shooting.

After crossing the mountain, Chen Zhi finally found a nest of wild eggs. The eggs were small and delicate, with a faint bluish tinge in the whites. There were sixteen eggs in total.

Chen Zhi picked them up one by one, not in a hurry to leave, and looked around. Logically, if there were eggs, the hen should not be far away. She waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, she heard a sound.

The hen is back!

Chen Zhi tightened the rubber band, aimed at the approaching hen, and held her breath. As the hen drew closer, she noticed that there was a wild rooster behind it.

Wild roosters are larger and have more beautiful, brighter plumage.

Chen Zhi changed her target to a wild rooster almost without hesitation.

However, before she could act, a dark shadow suddenly descended from the sky with incredible speed, its sharp claws reaching for the hen. The hen reacted quickly and dodged.

It was an eagle!

The eagle had stolen many chickens from their village, but they never expected that the eagle would even steal wild pheasants from the mountains.

Two pheasants fought an eagle, and the eagle gained the upper hand.

Chen Zhi pulled back her slingshot again, stretching the rubber band to its maximum, but this time she aimed it at the eagle.

As the eagle swooped down again, Chen Zhi decisively shot the pebble.

puff!

The pebble struck the eagle's body and embedded itself deeply. The eagle seemed to have been hit by a tremendous force, flying backward for two meters before crashing to the ground.

Chen Zhi got up from the grass and ran towards the direction of the eagle. The eagle flapped its wings a few times and then stopped moving.

died?

Chen Zhi picked up the eagle's carcass, which weighed about seven or eight pounds.

What a huge eagle!

Its wingspan alone is one meter wide.

Chen Zhi touched the eagle's sharp feathers and then its beak, feeling incredibly excited and proud.

She actually shot down an eagle; no one would believe it if I told them.

Chen Zhi put the eagle into his basket and continued walking. He thought the two pheasants had gone far away, but he found the hen lying on the ground a dozen meters away, while the rooster was nowhere to be seen.

The hen had several deep gashes on its body, and its feathers were stained red with blood, which also stained the grass on the ground.

Chen Zhi picked up the dead hen and put it in her basket.

The sun was high in the sky when Chen Zhi's stomach rumbled, signaling that it was time for lunch.

Chen Zhi walked towards the low-lying area. She remembered there was a cave here that ran through the entire mountain. Water dripped from the cave walls, forming a small puddle on the ground. The water from that puddle flowed from the mountain all the way out, reaching the vegetation.

The vegetation on that side is more lush than in other places, but because people often come here to fetch water, a path has been worn into it, and the path is not difficult to walk.

Following her memory, Chen Zhi walked towards the cave and saw the entrance from a great distance.

Just as she was about to continue forward, she heard someone shout, "Help!"

The cries for help grew more urgent and closer.

Chen Zhi quickened her pace; she heard hurried footsteps, as if there was more than one person.

There are four people.

And they were all acquaintances from the same village.

The four men were Chen Peng, Chen Ergou, Chen Xiaoshuai, and Chen Da. They looked panicked and ran forward desperately, with a large black bear behind them.

The next second, the black bear raised its paw and slapped Chen Da, who was running at the back, knocking him to the ground with one blow.

Chen Da collapsed to the ground, seeing stars from the pain. Watching his three companions run away without looking back, he felt utterly hopeless. It was over; his life was about to end here.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder; he had been grabbed by a black bear.

Heavy breathing sprayed onto the back of his head, and a foul stench lingered in his nostrils. Chen Da closed his eyes in pain.

Just when he thought he was going to die, a slight whooshing sound passed by his ear and entered the black bear's nostril. The next second, another whooshing sound hit the black bear's small eye!

With a "poof," one of the black bear's eyeballs exploded!

Chen Zhi herself was stunned; the bullet had actually hit her in the eye!

Is she that amazing?

After being struck repeatedly, Xiong Hei let out a painful and angry howl. It threw Chen Da aside and charged towards Chen Zhi.

As Chen Zhi ran, she fired her slingshot backwards. She was so fast that the black bear couldn't catch her. What troubled the black bear even more were the stones. One by one, they all landed precisely on its body. Despite its thick hide and seemingly no weaknesses except for its eyes and nose, the impact of these stones was too strong, each one causing it immense pain.

While the black bear was chasing Chen Zhi, Chen Peng, Chen Xiaoshuai, and Chen Ergou turned back, helped Chen Da up from the ground, and Chen Peng carried Chen Da on his back as they ran.

Chen Da: "What about the black bear?"

Chen Xiaoshuai: "He went after someone else."

Chen Da asked, puzzled, "Who else is here?"

The other three remained silent, gesturing for him to look behind him. Chen Da turned his head and saw the large body of a black bear weaving through the grass and trees, while a slender figure carrying a basket on its back appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Chen Da: "Who is she?"

Chen Xiaoshuai and Chen Ergou didn't recognize her, but Chen Peng did. "It's Chen Zhi."

"It's a woman!"

Not to mention Chen Da, Chen Xiaoshuai and Chen Ergou were both stunned.

Chen Peng remained silent.

The black bear was still chasing Chen Zhi, and the three of them slowed down.

Chen Da: "Is it really okay for us to just leave like this, leaving her behind?"

Although Chen Zhi had a bad reputation and he disliked her, she had just saved his life.

The other three people remained silent, but all stopped talking.

Chen Zhi also stopped running. It wasn't that she didn't want to run, but she had stepped on a thorn, and it had pierced the sole of her foot. If she continued running, the thorn would only go deeper, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to remove it in the end.

Chen Zhi kept pulling the rubber band, aiming specifically at the black bear's face; her target was the black bear's other eye.

The black bear turned its head back and forth to avoid the flying stones.

The distance between the man and the bear kept closing, closing...

It's now!

Chen Zhi leaned to the side, simultaneously aiming at the black bear's eyes, pulling the rubber band to its limit, and then releasing it.

puff!

Roar!

The other eye was also hit, and the black bear became a true blind bear.
