Su Jinyue gradually went deeper into the mountain. The surrounding trees became denser and towered into the clouds. Many trees bore unknown wild fruits, some looking very attractive and delicious.
“Cape gooseberry!” Seeing a tree full of golden yellow wild fruits, Su Jinyue ran forward in surprise. In her previous life, cape gooseberries were one of her favorites. The fruit was not only edible but also had medicinal value. Cape Gooseberry Jam contained a lot of vitamin C. It could treat anemia, reduce heat and detoxify, relieve cough, and resolve phlegm.
Not only that, cape gooseberries also contained a variety of other vitamins humans needed, especially the high content of vitamin B. However, the fruit was bitter and cold-natured. People who are weak and pregnant women are prohibited from eating it.
Su Jinyue put down her back basket and climbed up the tree. When she was a child, she often climbed up trees with her friends to gather willow branches for making straw hats. The height of this tree was naturally not a problem for her.
Su Jinyue plucked a cape Gooseberry, peeled off the dry skin, and put it in her mouth. “It's so sweet! Let's take some back for Master to taste.”
While eating, she plucked the fruits and threw them down. There was a thick layer of dead branches and rotten leaves under the tree. The fruits thrown down were not damaged.
After picking fruits for a while, Su Jinyue slowly crawled down the tree. She had not forgotten her main purpose for going up the mountain today. Gathering the scattered cape gooseberries into the bamboo basket, Su Jinyue put the basket on her back and continued walking to the depths of the forest.

People came and went from the platform. The eagerly awaiting people looked into the distance from time to time with anxious and expectant eyes.
Wooo! A high-pitched whistle sounded, and a train approached from a distance.
Zhan Yihan stood up and picked up his luggage. He followed the flow of people getting off here. It had been three years since he left home. He really missed his family and Jinyue. I wonder if her injury has healed yet?
The train came to a stop slowly. As soon as the doors opened, a rush of people hurried off. Zhan Yihan was almost squeezed off the train.
Last time, he had informed his family he was going back but failed to return due to an urgent task. This time, he did not notify anyone again. He didn’t want to disappoint his family again.

Su Jinyue looked at the sky and sighed. She kept walking according to the marks she had left behind. After searching for a day, she didn’t find anything. She could only go up another mountain tomorrow.
Suddenly, there was movement from the bush in front. Su Jinyue stopped and looked nervous. Did she run into a beast?
She clenched the small shovel in her hand. Calm down. Maybe it’s a bunny. Don’t scare yourself.
A black figure emerged from the bushes.
“Wild boar!” Seeing the wild boar, Su Jinyue quickly turned and ran. She would not be able to deal with a wild boar by herself.
The Wild boar didn’t plan on letting Su Jinyue go. It was on Su Jinyue’s tail in hot pursuit.
Su Jinyue ran in a panic, but now she couldn’t tell what direction she was going. It will soon be dark. Even if she managed to get rid of the wild boar, there will be other dangers this deep in the mountain forest.
“Ahh!” Su Jinyue stumbled on a raised rock and staggered forward. It was over! Would she rebirth if she died again?
Su Jinyue felt emptiness under her when she fell. Her body kept falling before finally she felt a sharp pain and blacked out.

Zhan Yihan opened the courtyard door and walked into his long-missed home.
In the yard, four or five chickens walked around leisurely, occasionally bowing their heads to peck at the chaff on the ground. The little black dog squatting at the door of the hall noticed Zhan Yihan and immediately became alert. It would have usually been barking long ago, but it felt an aura that scared it.
“Father! Mother! I’m back!” Zhan Yihan walked towards the hall. Although he often contacted his family, he hadn’t seen them for more than three years.
A mess of footsteps were heard in the room. It was not long before Wang Meizhen and Zhan Dafeng came running out with excitement.
Seeing it was really Zhan Yihan, Wang Meizhen’s eyes immediately reddened. She went to hold Zhan Yihan’s hand and spoke with a trembling voice, “My son, you are finally back.”
After receiving his previous letter, she was happy for several days. She told everyone in the village he was coming back. However, she was disappointed in the end.
“Mother, don’t cry. I’m back.” Zhan Yihan’s nose felt a bit sore.
Wang Meizhen carefully looked over Zhan Yihan. Her face was full of relief, “You grew taller and became stronger. You look like a man now.”
Compared to when he left, Yihan had changed a lot. He had an air of imposing power that gave others a sense of oppression. The army was really a good place for people to grow.
“How many days are you back for this time?” Zhan Dafeng asked.
“Ten days.” His vacation time was half a month, but it took five days to travel back and forth.
“Let’s go in and talk.” Wang Meizhen took Zhan Yihan’s hand and walked toward the house. She was really happy to have her son home.
The three of them walked into the room and took a seat.
“Where are Yifeng and the others?” Zhan Yihan asked. It was already evening. They should be home even if they were working in the fields.
“Yifeng went to his partner’s house to help with farm work. Both Yilin and Yiping live in school and won’t be home until Saturday.” Wang Meizhen explained. Due to Yihan being a soldier, the village took special care of their family and granted them a subsidy every year. Therefore, the conditions of their family was better than most others in the area.
“Yifeng has a partner?” Zhan Yihan was a little surprised. When he left, Yifeng had just graduated from high school. He didn’t expect him to have a partner in the blink of an eye.
“He is 21 already. He is not young anymore. In another year, it will almost be time to get married. You are young either. When do you plan to find a wife? You are the eldest in the family.” Wang Meizhen was most worried about Yihan. Since he came back, she might as well find him a partner this time.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Su Jinyue’s figure flashed past his mind. He will visit her later. Would she be happy to see him?
Wang Meizhen gave Zhan Yihan an annoyed look, “You are 23 and you are still not in a hurry! It’s settled then. I am sure I can find you a wife you will be satisfied with.”
If Yihan found a wife, she could rest assured.
“Mother, I have my plans. Don’t worry.” Zhan Yihan opened his luggage and took out a few bags of sweets and a pack of shredded tobacco. “Mother, this is the sweets I brought for you. Dad, this pack of shredded tobacco is for you.”
His marriage was for him to decide. He didn't want to find any random person just to have a wife.
