After walking for a while, Zhao Qian couldn’t help but lament. “Sister Jinyu, that was so cool.”
Chu Xiaohuan nodded in agreement. “I think so too. She’s really amazing.”
“Also, Jinyu, how dare you use your hands to hold the snake? I’m not as bold as you. My legs go limp when I see the snake.”
“Although my legs aren’t weak, I’m also very afraid to see a snake,” Qin Xuan said with a smile.
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly and didn’t reply.
However, the three of them kept chattering.
Occasionally, when they met some plant that looked like an herb, they would ask Yan Jinyu if it really was one. Yan Jinyu would then judge. Yan Jinyu would also explain the related knowledge about herbs to them when she saw the herbs that they were interested in.
After all, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In comparison, the other group didn’t get along so well.
After walking for about an hour, Mo Qian, who had just settled down, started to play tricks again.
“Schoolmate Zhao Linlin, look over there. Is that an herb?” Jiang Xianyou, who was walking behind Zhao Linlin, asked as he pointed at an herb not far away.
Jiang Xianyou didn’t know about herbs. He asked Zhao Linlin because he felt that it looked like one.
Zhao Linlin would then go over and dig it out with the sickle.
Sometimes, Jiang Xianyou would take her sickle and help her dig.
The two of them interacted very naturally. It was not like they had just met.
This made Mo Qian jealous.
Jiang Xianyou had never been so nice to her!
He even consulted Zhao Linlin about herbs!
He wasn’t studying Chinese medicine, so why was he asking for herbal knowledge?
Jiang Xianyou must be interested in Zhao Linlin!
At the thought of this, Mo Qian felt even more indignant.
“Yes. It’s a little steep over there, so don’t follow me. I’ll go alone.”
Jiang Xianyou didn’t insist after Zhao Linlin said that.
To be honest, this was his first time entering such a remote mountain. In terms of experience, he was far inferior to Zhao Linlin. It was not necessarily better for him to go over than Zhao Linlin.
Jiang Xianyou still had this understanding.
“Alright, be careful then.”
Actually, the medicinal herb’s location was not far either. It was on the slope in front of them, less than 10 meters away.
However, the slope was a little steep and slightly rocky. There were not many plants. There were only a few trees and some weeds.
The one that Jiang Xianyou saw was the only medicinal herb in this small patch.
“It’s fine. I come here often. I’ll be fine. Don’t follow me. Wait for me here.”
She held the sickle and walked forward.
“Aiya!”
Zhao Linlin had just taken two steps when she heard a shout from behind.
She was so shocked that she quickly turned back. She saw that Mo Qian had slipped and almost slid down the hill from the small path. Fortunately, Yang Jun was quick to hold onto her.
“Are you alright?” Yang Jun asked.
“I-I’m fine. I’m just a little frightened.” Mo Qian trembled and her face turned pale. She grabbed Yang Jun’s arm as if that was the only way she could feel safe.
“Can you walk properly? Schoolmate Mo Qian, I just said that you can’t follow us. You should have waited for us over there, but you insisted on following us.”
“It’s hard for you to move around in a dress. You can’t help us even if you follow us. What are you trying to do?”
“Don’t blame me for being harsh. As we came with you, if you really fell down just now, how are we going to answer to your family?”
Zhao Linlin walked in front, followed by Jiang Xianyou, then Mo Qian, and lastly Yang Jun.
Hence, Mo Qian wanted Jiang Xianyou to pull her up when she slipped. Unfortunately, Jiang Xianyou didn’t notice her at all because he was worried about Zhao Linlin and kept staring at her.
It was only when Zhao Linlin suddenly stopped and turned back that Jiang Xianyou realized that Mo Qian had slipped.
He frowned but did not say anything.
He didn’t have any good impression of the girl Yang Jun liked at all.
Mo Qian’s expression was already sullen when it wasn’t Jiang Xianyou who was helping her up, and after being scolded by Yang Jun in public, her expression became even worse.
Her face froze. “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I accidentally slipped just now.”
“S-since you think I’m a burden, I won’t follow you anymore. I’ll wait for you here. I think it’s about time. You guys should go back for lunch in half an hour. You guys definitely won’t go far.”
Yang Jun wanted to say that he didn’t think that she was a burden, but he felt that he couldn’t say such untrue words.
Along the way, they had indeed wasted a lot of time because of Mo Qian.
Mo Qian’s dress was either hooked by the bushes or her hands and feet were cut by the grass in the mountains every few steps. Perhaps she was afraid that she would really be left behind, so she did not shout loudly. However, the commotion she caused every time was not small either, and she did delay a lot of time.
“Alright, wait here then.”
Mo Qian didn’t expect Yang Jun to agree so readily, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

Especially when she saw that Jiang Xianyou didn’t even say a word of concern for her and was staring at Zhao Linlin, who was continuing to walk towards the herbs. As if he was afraid that he wouldn’t have the time to react if something would happen to Zhao Linlin, he even put down the basket.
His serious look made Mo Qian’s eyes look venomous when her gaze landed on Zhao Linlin.
“Schoolmate Zhao Linlin, be careful,” Jiang Xianyou reminded her.
“I’m fine.” Zhao Linlin had already reached her destination and started to dig for herbs with her sickle.
“I’m done!”
She waved at them with the herbs. Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun were about to remind her to be careful when she came back when Mo Qian beat them to it. “Linlin, there’s a snake under your feet! You stepped on a snake!”
Zhao Linlin jumped up instinctively and slipped…
“Zhao Linlin!”
“Watch out!”
Unfortunately, it was too late. She had already rolled down.
Fortunately, Zhao Linlin’s reaction was fast enough. She immediately threw the sickle in her hand upwards with all her might and didn’t let the sickle roll down with her. This way, she wouldn’t be injured by the sickle when she rolled down.
A second later, Jiang Xianyou rushed forward the moment he called Zhao Linlin’s name.
He had also trained before and had some skills.
In a moment of desperation, he had unlimited explosive power. In just a few seconds, he rushed to Zhao Linlin’s side. He did not slip at all. Just as Zhao Linlin rolled down, he grabbed her hand and rolled down with her too.
Even a 100-meter dash’s speed was not as fast as his.
After the two of them rolled down till they couldn’t be seen, Yang Jun finally reacted in a daze. “You!” He was about to rush forward when Mo Qian pulled him back.
“Don’t…”
Yang Jun suddenly reacted and turned to slap Mo Qian.
The slap was crisp.
Mo Qian was also frightened. She wasn’t frightened because Zhao Linlin rolled down, but because Jiang Xianyou actually rushed out without caring for his life for Zhao Linlin and rolled down the hill with her!
Mo Qian was in disbelief when she was suddenly slapped by Yang Jun. “Y-you hit me? Yang Jun, you actually dared to hit me!”
In school, Mo Qian was considered beautiful and outstanding. Otherwise, Yang Jun wouldn’t have pursued her.
Hence, other than Yang Jun, Mo Qian actually had many suitors. She had never been treated like this in school, especially by Yang Jun.
Yang Jun was pursuing her, so he treated her very well. Not to mention hitting her, he had never even said anything harsh to her. Now, he suddenly slapped her because of Zhao Linlin. This psychological difference made Mo Qian so angry that she forgot that it was still unknown if the person she liked was dead or alive.
“Hitting you is still a light punishment! Let me tell you, Mo Qian. It’s best if You is fine. If anything happens to him, you won’t even be able to compensate his family with 10 of your lives! I’m sure you don’t need me to say anything about the Jiang Family’s status in Water City. You has a brother who is going to inherit the family business. You’s family never forced him to do anything he didn’t want to do. It can be said that they dote on him to the core. If anything happens to him, the Jiang Family will tear you apart!”
They would also tear him apart!
It was because of his suggestion that Jiang Xianyou appeared here.
However, at this moment, Yang Jun wasn’t thinking about that. He was thinking about Jiang Xianyou and Zhao Linlin’s safety.
Mo Qian had never seen such a fierce Yang Jun before. She was so frightened that she stood rooted to the ground.
“You clearly know that Schoolmate Zhao has to have a good foodhold when she went to pick the herb there. Why are you so shouting? Snake? Where is the snake? Are you blind?”
“I-I didn’t do it on purpose. I saw that the vine under her feet looked like a snake. I thought it was…”
“You thought? What do you know! I’ll go find someone now. I’ll settle the score with you after I get them back!”
“I really don’t know what kind of taste I had in the past to actually like a ruthless and evil person like you!” Yang Jun said and couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. As he carefully moved to the position where the two of them rolled down, he took out his phone and called Zhao Qian.
He only saved Zhao Qian’s phone number.
On the other side, Zhao Qian’s phone rang.
“Brother Yang, what’s the matter? Are you guys going back?” At that moment, Zhao Qian was still squatting on the ground and digging for herbs. Yan Jinyu was explaining the medicinal properties of the herbs to Chu Xiaohuan.
They were all smiling.
Zhao Qian’s expression suddenly changed. “W-What did you say? What happened to my sister?”
Yan Jinyu was the sharpest and sensed that something was wrong first. “What’s wrong?”
Zhao Qian looked panicked and his mind was blank. He only came back to his senses when he saw Yan Jinyu. It was as if he had found his savior. “S-Sister Jinyu, what should we do? My sister and Brother Jiang lost their balance when they were picking herbs and fell down the hill.”
Yan Jinyu immediately stood up. “Get Yang Jun to send you a GPS location.”
“Yes, yes. Send me the GPS location.”
The location was quickly sent over. Yan Jinyu forwarded it to her phone and handed the basket to Chu Xiaohuan, “I’ll go over first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she dashed out like a ghost. Her speed was as fast as a ferocious beast that had lived in the mountains all year round.
The dense forest could not stop her at all. She swung from one tree to another with the help of some tool and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
The three of them were stunned.
After a long while, Qin Xuan was the first to recover. “No, it’s not that there’s something wrong with my eyes, right? J-Jinyu’s speed and skills…”
“No, because we saw it too.” The basket in Chu Xiaohuan’s hand almost fell to the ground in shock. Fortunately, she reacted in time and caught it.
“S-Sister Jinyu. W-why would Sister Jinyu…”
“To be honest, we didn’t know that Jinyu was so formidable either. I thought it was an exaggeration when my parents said that Jinyu’s marksmanship and her martial arts skills were very good and she could jump from the first floor to the second floor at the Min Family’s banquet. I didn’t expect it to be true!” Qin Xuan was stunned.
Chu Xiaohuan wasn’t much better either, but she was still rational.
“Let’s not talk about this first. Let’s go over and take a look. Zhao Qian, call home first and then turn on the GPS. I hope nothing happened to Linlin and Schoolmate Jiang.”
“Yes, yes. I’ll call my father and get someone to help!”
