Chapter 26
Ending the Mission
Yu Ruo pulled Yu Miao into his arms and comforted her softly.
Yu Miao cried louder and louder in his arms.
As for this half-cooked and inedible lunch, they endured it and ate it in the end. They had no choice. If they didn’t eat, they wouldn’t last until night and would starve to death.
In the end, the four of them had diarrhea for the entire night. The next day, their mental state was even worse, as if they had fallen into a vicious cycle.
The temperature in the afternoon was even higher than in the morning. The entire land in front of the mountain was exposed to the sunlight.
Yu Su and the others were also indescribably miserable. After all, they had never done such work before. After suffering such hardships, the four of them relied on their willpower to persevere.
Every time Xiao Han pulled out a blade of grass, he would scold his manager in his heart for throwing him into this show. He had originally thought that it was a paradise, but in the end, it was hell. This was only the first day of the official start, and he could not hold on much longer.
When he looked up and saw Yu Su wiping the sweat off her foreheads and was still focused on completing the work at hand. He could not help but feel a little moved. What kind of power could make a girl have such perseverance? His hand, which was originally prepared to rest, subconsciously sped up again.
Perhaps there was an internal incentive mechanism between the four of them. If one person did not rest, the others would consciously work harder. Therefore, although they ended later than expected, they still completed the task set by the production team at around three o’clock and ended work early.
“Yes, it’s done well. Every piece of land is qualified. Thank you for your hard work.” It was still the man who taught them in the morning who came to check the results.
Looking at the neatly arranged seedlings on the ground, the man was overjoyed and his face was filled with praise.
“Alright, your mission is completed. In a while, go to the staff to exchange for ingredients. You can also exchange for other things you need to live. Then, you can go home to rest or move around freely.”
Director Lin saw that the man had completed his inspection and spoke to everyone with the symbolic loudspeaker.
After he finished speaking, Meng Xi did not even have the strength to cheer. She did not care if it was clean and directly sat on the ground.
The others were also very happy. Even Yu Su finally heaved a sigh of relief. This was really too tiring. Now, her waist did not seem to belong to her anymore.
The few of them happily went to the staff to choose ingredients together. They only exchanged enough for a few people to eat tonight and tomorrow morning. They exchanged the rest for a rather large tent and agreed to go to the mountain to look at the stars at night.
“I plan to go to the vicinity of our house to familiarize myself with the surrounding neighbors. After all, we’re new here. If so we can consult them if we ever need help. What about you guys?” When they reached the entrance of the village, Yu Su stopped and asked her companions beside her.
“I’m not going. I’m really too tired. I feel that it’s already a miracle that I can walk home.” Meng Xi was the first to answer her. After a day of hard work, she could no longer straighten her back. She only wanted to go home and rest.
“I’m not going either. I saw that there’s not much firewood left yesterday. I’ll rest for a while and chop some more.” Ding Chen refused to go with them. He had been thinking about the firewood at home for a long time.
Yu Su said, “Alright, then you can just chop up enough to make dinner today. Everyone can take turns doing it so that some people won’t develop a habit.”
Ding Chen knew who Yu Su was referring to. After spending two days together, he really did not have a good impression of the other group.
He believed that if possible, they would be very willing for him to help them chop firewood. Hence, he nodded and even blinked to show that he understood Yu Su’s words.
“What about you?”
Yu Su was amused by him. She turned to look at Xiao Han again. She did not feel that there was a connection between her and Xiao Han. She was just asking as a matter of routine.
“I’ll go with you. Coincidentally, I also want to admire the scenery of the mountain village. I don’t come often, so I want to see more.”
Yu Su clearly did not expect Xiao Han to agree, and it was for such a reason, admiring the scenery of the mountain village. Although she did not say that she had visited every place in the past two days, she really did not see anything worth looking at.
However, since he had already said so, she had no reason to stop him from going.
Hence, the four of them split up at the entrance of the village.
