……

In the office hall of Shiliu Village, Tian Lin and Jiang Li talked about the plight of the two villages, while Jiang Dafu sat aside and remained silent.

Liu Qingcao, on the other hand, listened quietly. When the two of them finished, she just remained silent.

Tian Lin and Jiang Li looked at each other awkwardly and stopped talking. The hall fell into silence.

After a long time, Liu Qingcao raised her head, looked at the figure wandering outside the door, and said slowly:
"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Jiang Li, this villager's tax is almost nine taels of silver. The two villages combined have at least eighty households. This is a huge sum of money. I can help, but it cannot be in vain."

"Of course, of course."

Tian Lin and Jiang Li answered simultaneously.

Liu Qingcao nodded, took out the neatly folded paper in his sleeve, unfolded it and placed it on the table.

“I got this money after a lot of hard work, and I’m very happy to be able to help the villagers, but you all know that I have so many people to feed, and it’s very difficult for me.

I can only lend this money to the villagers. After they have passed this test and have some extra money in their hands, they can return it to me and I will not charge any interest. "Liu Qingcao said softly, with sincere and powerful eyes.

Hearing this, Tian Lin and Jiang Li felt extremely excited and grateful. Of course, they also felt proud and extremely guilty.

Liu Qingcao had a clear view of their complicated feelings, but she had no intention of speaking out to comfort them.

Between people, in addition to sincerity, necessary gratitude and self-esteem are still necessary.

"Qingcao, after this incident, I will definitely urge the villagers to return the money to you. I believe the villagers, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so I still have to write this note." Tian Lin said seriously.

Jiang Dafu also nodded in agreement, "Lin Zi is right, this is about money, it's better to write a document."

"I think it's right, this is, this is the process." Jiang Li scratched his head and looked at Liu Qingcao with a smile.

Liu Qingcao did not doubt that he was there and nodded in agreement.

This matter is big or small. She is actually not familiar with the villagers of Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village. Even if she is familiar with them, she cannot use money to challenge human nature.

"Okay, Jiang Dafu, you can handle this."

"By the way, when will Wan Li arrive at the village?" Liu Qingcao asked, not knowing clearly.

Jiang Dafu looked at Tian Lin and motioned for him to speak.

"Green grass will arrive in about half an hour." Tian Lin looked at the sky and estimated.

"Brother Tian and Brother Jiang Li, while you still have time, take Brother Jiang with you to write the documents, and I will go wander around the village."

Liu Qingcao took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table.

Although Jiang Dafu had seen a lot of money, he was still struck by this stack of banknotes.

He cleared his throat, regained his composure, carefully put the banknotes into his arms, and went outside to notify the villagers with Jiang Dafu.

Liu Qingcao followed them out, separated not far away, and walked towards the mountains of Shiliu Village.

Along the way, Liu Qingcao turned left and right, stopping from time to time to look at the rice seedlings in the fields.

"The grain crops are growing well, and this year's harvest should be good."

Liu Qingcao stood on the ridge of the field, said this with a smile, and then walked up the mountain without stopping.

Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village do not have as much land as Shihe Village. If they only rely on these thin fields, it will be difficult for those two villages to get rid of poverty. She has to find another way and prepare for a rainy day.

Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village are surrounded by mountains on three sides. The only side is open land. The two villages are three miles apart and connected to Shihe Village.

The mountain Liu Qingcao wanted to go to was the mountain that lay between Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village, called Qingliu Mountain.

Qingliu Mountain is 500 meters high. There are many bluestones and wild willows at the foot of the mountain. The higher you go up, the more types of trees there are.

Liu Qingcao has been working his way up since he was young, and occasionally encountered some edible mushrooms that were not available in the space, so he transplanted them into the space.

The outskirts of Qingliu Mountain are densely covered with bluestones, and it is rare for plants with short rhizomes to survive. However, deep in the mountains, wild beasts are everywhere, and the villagers dare not go in at all.

It is precisely because of this that the people in the two villages never have enough to eat.

Shihe Village will become the poorest village not because the last few villages are much richer than them, but because of the poverty caused by Shihe Village's self-isolation.

In the deep mountains, the trees are tall and leafy, blocking the sun and making the forest dark and humid.Liu Qingcao stepped on the soft dead branches and leaves, as if she had sunk into wet mud. It felt extremely uncomfortable.

……

"Huh? That is?"

Liu Qingcao quickly hid behind a big tree, carefully stretched out her head and squinted at the black shadow disappearing in the distance.

How could there be anyone in this deep mountain and old forest?
And there are quite a few!
to see?

Still not going?

Liu Qingcao kept making choices in his mind.

If she followed and was discovered, it might bring trouble to the villagers in the two villages. If she didn't follow, it seemed that the potential danger could not be ignored...

After Liu Qingcao was entangled in her heart, she finally walked out from behind the tree.

Trouble is uncertain, but danger is a given.

This trip, no matter what, she was going to take a walk.

Liu Qingcao stood at the place where the group of people disappeared, looking at a strange-colored road on the ground, his eyes flashed, and he started to move.

The surroundings were dark, damp, and cold. Liu Qingcao changed into a set of thick and convenient clothes, and felt the coldness lingering on his skin.

"It's so cold." Liu Qingcao shuddered, gritted his teeth and walked deeper.

About half an hour later, Liu Qingcao stopped in front of a deep pool.

"There is no way." Liu Qingcao frowned and muttered as he looked at the traces disappearing in front of the deep pool.

Maybe it's a blindfold.

Liu Qingcao didn't intend to actually go into the water to find out. She turned around and walked towards the mountain wall. The mountain wall was covered with moss and vines, and there was nothing unusual at all.

On the other side, there is a bottomless cliff. The forest is too dark. At first glance, the cliff looks like a puddle of ink. At a second glance, it feels like looking into the eighteenth level of hell, which is frightening.

Finally, Liu Qingcao, who was puzzled, turned her gaze to the deep pool and stayed on it for a long time before she walked down the mountain in confusion.

……

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Qingcao returned to Shiqing Village from another direction. She looked up at the top of the mountain, pondered for a quarter of an hour, and then turned around to find Jiang Dafu and the others.

At this time, the three of them were walking in the office lobby, with worried looks on their faces.

"Dafu, why don't we go to the mountains to look for him?" Jiang Li looked at Jiang Dafu anxiously and asked him to make a decision quickly.

Jiang Dafu stopped and stood at the door, looking around.

"Qingcao said when she left, let us wait for her here instead of looking for her." Jiang Dafu was embarrassed and entangled. Liu Qingcao said this, and he said it twice.

At that time, he thought Liu Qingcao was just wandering around, but he didn't expect to wait another hour for dinner. She didn't show up yet. They went to inquire around and found out that she had gone up the mountain.

If it weren't for Liu Qingcao's special instructions, Jiang Dafu would have gone to find someone long ago.

"But if Qingcao encounters any danger, we can't wait." Jiang Li spoke again.

Jiang Dafu gritted his teeth and felt that Jiang Li was right and they should go look for it.

"Let's go, take the guy with you, let's go up the mountain and have a look."

"Okay, I'll borrow the guy right now." After saying that, Jiang Li rushed out without looking back.

As soon as they reached the door, they stopped again. Jiang Dafu and Tian Lin didn't know why Jiang Li stopped, so they quickly stepped forward to check.

"Dafu, Linzi, Qingcao is back." Jiang Li shouted excitedly.

Jiang Dafu arrived in front of the door in two steps. He raised his eyes and looked outside, and indeed saw a familiar figure walking this way.

The moment the three of them saw Liu Qingcao, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I came back safely." Tian Lin exhaled, looked at the people getting closer and closer, and now said.
