ponent's charging force before managing to stop.Then, the Ripple Control Mech's right leg kicked directly at the opponent's front leg knee. Holding the star beast's horn with both arms, it pressed dow...This time, Zhao Jingcheng was carrying several pieces of tanned rabbit fur in his hands. He knocked on the door of the educated youth's point and wanted to exchange the rabbit fur for some pickled cabbage.

"That's great! We can use this rabbit fur to make the lining for our cotton shoes."

Wang Xiufen touched the tanned rabbit fur and said happily.

Zheng Xin had no objections, and Lian Yi wouldn't either. She thought for a moment and then said:

“Sister Xiu Fen, Zheng Xin, this rabbit skin is only enough for the three of us to make shoes. The male educated youths definitely won’t have a share. It wouldn’t be appropriate to exchange vegetables from the big vegetable vat. I’ll trade something else with Zhao Jingcheng. What do you think”

"Ripple is right, we're not taking advantage of them. I have some dried vegetables sent from home. What do you have there, Zheng Xin"

"I have some wild mushrooms I picked in the mountains before, I dried them, they're perfect for making soup."

The two started talking and each reached for something. After exchanging their goods with Zhao Jingcheng, they each picked out a piece of leather they liked. Lian Yi directly took out a can of milk powder and a bag of snacks from the cabinet, along with a small bag of cornmeal, and traded all of the remaining rabbit fur in exchange.

While Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin had both gone back to their rooms, Zhao Jingcheng lowered his voice and said:

The bear den wasn't where I led them. Those two bears had eaten people and tasted human flesh. They smelled us entering the deeper part of the mountains and came over here.

We are many, so we can still take down the two bears. After all, we have our own companions. Uncle Zhao even brought a hunting rifle. It's Chen Zhiqing from your village who held us back. He got hurt while saving his village and injured so many people.

Now this matter has escalated to higher levels. They are going to handle Captain Zhao, who organized private hunts. Now Captain Zhao has caused another incident like this. In the future, villagers will probably dislike you educated youth even more.

And then there's Chen Jia Shu, knowing that he lost a leg, didn't cry or make a fuss. I think something is off about him, you guys should be careful."

Zhao Jingcheng knew he couldn't stay here too long, so he quickly finished explaining things and then prepared to leave.

"I understand! Don't rush off. Wait two days and come to the educated youth point to propose to me, I will have everything ready for you beforehand."

With a crack, Zhao Jingcheng fell straight to the ground. Luckily, there was snow cushioning his fall. He struggled for a while before managing to stand up, then looked at Lian Ri with a face full of surprise, wondering what she was playing at again.

Why

"Don't worry, to save some trouble! Right now, the Red Flag Commune is like this: even if we submit a marriage application, there's no guarantee it will be approved. We just set up a nice table with good food, invite respected elders from the village and the deputy captain for a meal, and that settles it."

"I refuse!"

Zhao Jingcheng gritted his teeth and refused.

"Why What have I done to make you unhappy Tell me, and I'll change."

Ripple smiled and asked.

"You...you are amazing! I'm not good enough for you!"

"Tsk, it's a lie at first listen."

Ripples smiled and said.

"Me"

"Don't bother looking for reasons, I've already thought of them all! You saved my life, and through this time we've gotten to know each other and developed feelings. So, let's become revolutionary comrades. Think of it as repaying your life-saving grace with my body. I believe everyone will accept this."

But I didn't save you!

Zhao Jingcheng was a little confused by this operation.

"Tsk tsk, you accepted my gift, and you didn't refuse the meat floss pancakes I made for you. You even bring me prey every now and then to share. This time, you even brought me this tanned rabbit pelt, afraid I'd be cold. Who wouldn't see that you have feelings for me"

"No! That's what we agreed to exchange for food!"

Zhao Jingcheng was dumbfounded, feeling like he had been tricked, yet unaware of it himself, actively jumping into the trap.

"Okay, I understand everything you said. I'll go find you tomorrow. Stay home and wait for me!"

But

"While I'm speaking civilly, just nod your head. Don't test my patience. Two people tried this before you, and you know what happened to them."

Ripple smiled gently at this point, touching her jade hand, with a thinly veiled threat.

"Cough! I got it!"

Zhao Jingcheng's face changed, he nodded in agreement, and took the obtained item and turned to run, as if being chased by wolves.

Only then, satisfied, did she turn and go back to her room.

"How come you've been talking for so long Aren't you cold"

Zheng Xinyu teased.

"Not bad! That silly boy confessed to me! He even said he'll come to propose in two days!"

Liàn Yī happily said.

"Tsk, his actions are as obvious as daylight. We all see what he's doing! Since we saved you, he hasn't stopped hovering around you."

Wang Xiufen also smiled and said.

"Oh dear! You all saw that"

The ripples generously acknowledge.

"Ripple, have you thought this through With dawn just ahead, you're with Zhao Jingcheng now. What if, I mean what if, he doesn't let you take the college entrance exam"

Zheng Xin lowered her voice and asked.

"I've thought about this, I'll take him with me then, he's not much of a burden anyway."

With a sweeping gesture, Lian Yi spoke in a grand and imposing manner.

"You've thought it through."

Zheng Xin didn't expect Lian Yi to consider things so far in advance.

"Well, remember the first time we caught a rabbit"

Of course, remember that Zhao Jingcheng deserves half the credit inside!

"After I came back, I inquired about Zhao Jingcheng's situation. Remember, you said he was the village bully back then!"

"I also heard about it from villagers. At that time, we weren't familiar with each other and barely interacted, so I didn't take it to heart."

“I saw that he was so hungry his legs were weak, and he didn't even try to grab the rabbit from our hands. I thought this man still had some bottom line. Don't look at me holding a cleaver back then, but if he really wanted to take it, I truly wouldn't have known what to do.”

Ripple said nonsense with her eyes open, but Zheng Xin believed it.

"I was also afraid he would rob me at the time. If you hadn't been so calm, I would have run away long ago. It turns out you were scared too!"

"Of course! I'm a weak woman too."

So you gave him the cookies you brought

Then we can rightfully claim that rabbit.

"Understood, so what What did you figure out"

Through this incident, I saw that he wasn't a bad person. At least he didn't bully the two of us weak women. And when he got the bread, he also knew to divide the rabbit meat. At least his values are correct.

Later on, he saved my life again. The more I got to know him, the better I thought he was. He's just used to keeping to himself and isn't very sociable.

I specially inquired about his situation. Both of his parents died in a three-year natural disaster, and he also had no siblings. He survived on his own. In order not to be bullied, he inevitably had to be more capable.

"Besides, Xiu Fen also said that he wasn't a bad person and had been very kind to me. That's why I agreed to him."

"Ripples, this is a lifelong commitment, you should consider it carefully."

"Since he already considered autumn and winter, I felt it was okay and agreed to him."

R ripples smiled and said.

"Taskmaster, are you preparing to forcefully fulfill the original's third wish"e its validity."This matter is important, you can hand over the information to us, and I will arrange for someone to investigate."Of course, the data is in my jacket that I just took off.Lance only mo...
