Chapter 152: Chapter 149: Accompanied Up the Mountain When the Moon Sets

After offering congratulations, Jiang Mingyue casually encouraged the other two people as well. After all, words are free and flow easily.

Until the person in bed stirred.

Jiang Mingyue disregarded the multiple pairs of eyes on her, took out the prepared medicine from the basket, and was grateful that she had removed the labels in advance; the knowledge point had too many people and wandering eyes, so she was cautious.

Seeing her about to feed the medicine to Shu Wenquan, Qin Ruofeng quickly went to find water. There was no hot water kettle in Shu Wenquan’s area, but her and Chang Yu’s room had one. Soon, a bowl of warm water was brought over.

"Boiled last night, not too hot, just the right temperature."

Jiang Mingyue smiled at her, and seeing Qiao Rang volunteering to help, she simply gave up her spot.

She didn’t know why these three people suddenly cared about Shu Wenquan, but this was good news; more interaction among them was beneficial.

"Okay."

The medicine was handed over to Qiao Rang, and Jiang Mingyue pulled a chair to sit at the foot of the bed, unwrapping Shu Wenquan’s injured leg. She attempted to use her spiritual power to look at the bone inside, surprisingly succeeding. It must have been fractured before, and Old Liu had already treated it; apart from the wound being inflamed, there was not much other problem.

Jiang Mingyue applied an anti-inflammatory ointment and fixed it with new gauze and wooden splints.

She thought to herself that with internal and topical treatment, he should be bouncing back in no time.

After some fussing, Shu Wenquan only moved uncomfortably and did not wake up from beginning to end, so Jiang Mingyue let him be but left two fever-reducing pills.

Thinking that Shu Wenquan needed someone to look after him in this state, Jiang Mingyue was about to discuss it with the others when she saw Qiao Rang volunteering.

"Ming Yue, you don’t need to worry. I will come to keep him company at night; I won’t let anything happen to him."

Chang Yu chimed in, "Right, senior sister, speaking of which, we should call him senior brother too; he was once Mr. Yang’s student."

Qin Ruofeng pondered for a moment: "I think we should just call by names in the future; calling senior brother and sister is unimportant as long as we know in our hearts we are closer."

With her words, the other two fell silent, and Jiang Mingyue intuitively felt something had happened, she thought for a moment, and frowned.

"What’s happened to Mr. Yang?"

All three, who had been looking down, were now looking at her.

Jiang Mingyue boldly speculated, "Has something happened to Mr. Yang?"

The faces of the group showed some discomfort, Qin Ruofeng thought and revealed the truth: "A few days ago, I returned to my home in Nanxi City, and before leaving, I went to see Mr. Yang. I heard from his neighbor that he was taken away because of a foreign book. However, someone might have spoken for him; he was initially meant to be sent to Jing County Farm but ended up in nearby Liu Village. Shu Wenquan said he had friends in Liu Village, so he sent word for them to gather news. Mr. Yang is indeed in Liu Village, tasked with picking cow dung and living with cattle in their shed. I..."

No need to say more; everyone understood things wouldn’t be so simple.

Jiang Mingyue also frowned; Uncle Zhu had clearly promised, or was he just involved with that matter? Who spoke for Mr. Yang? Jiang Mingyue thought, it seemed she needed to see Uncle Zhu.

Before leaving, Jiang Mingyue took out the matsutake chicken soup she had brought in an earthenware pot and let them share it, not daring to bring out anything else.

She was invited to visit Chang Yu’s dormitory for a brief sit down, but within a few minutes, Jiang Mingyue claimed it was too late and decided to leave early.

Leaving the knowledge point, Jiang Mingyue found a small secluded forest, stored the bicycle in the space, and carried the basket into the mountain.

A soothing voice resonated in her ear.

"Heading into the mountain?"

Jiang Mingyue was startled: "...Yan Jinzhi, I am scared! When you do this, I feel like you are watching me with a pair of eyes."

Yan Jinzhi: "..." Feeling like if he didn’t explain this matter clearly, he might be excluded.

"But if I tell you, you won’t believe it."

"How do you know I won’t believe without telling me?"

Yan Jinzhi: "Maybe we have a connection from a past life, and I can sense a bit of whatever you do."

Jiang Mingyue: "...Such a perfunctory explanation, saying it is like not saying anything."

Yan Jinzhi sighed: "See, I told you, and you still don’t believe me."

"Does what you are saying sound believable?"

"In a bad mood?" In memory, this girl would only be irritable when in a bad mood; normally, she was a little fairy.

Jiang Mingyue did not speak; she was a bit dazed, and the road up the mountain was difficult. She had to focus half her attention on the road and did not notice what was being said from the other side.

Just knowing the next second, a person emerged from behind a tree nearby.

Oh! Forgot that he could move with her, as long as he wished. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"What’s in your hand?"

"A flashlight, I thought you might need it."

"I have never seen such an odd flashlight." Not even seen in the future, after the crisis, where the base frequently had power outages, making flashlights essential, but even then, she hadn’t seen such a flashlight.

Yan Jinzhi, seeing her attention caught by the flashlight, felt complex but still smiled warmly to entice her: "Would you like to try it?"

By this time, the last ray of sunset had disappeared, and the land was like draped in a black curtain, soon possibly turning pitch dark.

Although with her spiritual power upgrade, she gradually was not afraid of the night, having a flame always felt pleasant, warm to look at.

She stretched out her hand without a word, and he cooperatively placed it in her palm.

"Turn on here, it can adjust the brightness. Here’s an invisible dagger; when needed, press this switch to eject."

It reminded her of the off-road tricycle that Mrs. Jiang bragged about every day and Xiao Ran’s little bee.

Jiang Mingyue: "...Did you make it?"

"Yes."

"You truly are all-around talented."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"This battery must be hard to come by, right!"

"Not difficult, it’s a rechargeable battery, the base has electricity."

Jiang Mingyue thought of the village where it would take more than a dozen years to expect electricity, and her renewed hope sank again.

"I am making solar panels, planning to place solar street lamps in your courtyard and at the center of the brick factory square.

Jiang Mingyue recalled the mysterious materials added again to Bamboo Garden... so that was it!

"Can it be popularized?"

"The cost is too high, difficult! But some special places need them. I have already organized and submitted the principles and drawings."

"Did you sign your name?"

"Half of it consists of countless people’s diligent results from the future; I just comprehensively improved it to appear early for the benefit of society, not counting as mine. Therefore, signature is naturally unnecessary."

She knew it would be like this.

"Does it require a lot of money? You surely don’t have money, but I have; my stash of money can be used freely by you."

Yan Jinzhi: "..." The complex feeling... quite strong. "No need for now."

"Then when you need it, don’t stand on ceremony with me." I am really wealthy!

Already aware of her goodness, but always warmed anew.

"Yan Jinzhi, you really are like me, from another world. Did we really know each other in a past life? Don’t tell me things to ponder about anymore; I truly can’t remember."

Yan Jinzhi: "...What are you heading into the mountain for?"

Okay, one sentence pulled her back to reality.

"Catching snakes..."
