Although Gu'er had left the house, she had no idea where to go.
'Finding a way to make money isn't that easy. If it were, everyone would be rich by now.' Now that she couldn't sell wild vegetables anymore, she really couldn't think of any other way to earn money.
Gu'er headed toward the back mountain. She still wanted to go up and take a look.
Just as she left the village and reached the path leading to the back mountain, she was startled to hear someone call her name.
Gu'er jumped, quickly looking to the side. There was a ditch beside the road, and beyond it lay a forest filled with many trees—pines and cypresses, all of them thick and tall.
The person had come from the woods. It had never occurred to her that someone would be here. Of course, it would be impossible to spot someone hiding in such a dense forest if they didn't make a sound.
Watching the young man climb out of the ditch, Gu'er was stunned. She never would have expected Liu Yuan to show up here.
