Smiling faintly as she set down the basket, she, the village's delicate beauty, was also a woman with ideas. She had travelled far to attend Zhang Qing's training class in the vegetable garden, and upon returning, she began planting fruits and vegetables.
Determined to get rich, she had been growing vegetables in the outskirts for three years, unaware of what was happening in the city. She took fresh vegetables from the basket to cook for a few people who had escaped the city. Diao Chan in Daiyu's arms held her injured wrist, her body limp. Xiao Qiao helped Da Qiao wash the vegetables while Qingwen lit the fire under the pot.
Daiyu always felt a wind carrying a fishy smell blowing in from the fields, but it was awkward to ask about it. Baochai wiped the machine gun, suddenly stood up, and fired into the field; a rabbit lay in its own blood. Baochai picked it up by the ears and said, 'We will eat this today.' After the meal, Daiyu pulled out a book that had been stuffed into her arms when escaping from Ximen Qing's house.
She thought it was Ximen Qing's diary, revealing many secrets about him and Jinlian, but unexpectedly, it was a manual written by Ximen Qing himself on guarding the house. In the book, Ximen Qing used numerous tripwires to prevent others from entering his home without permission. Daiyu felt somewhat annoyed, recalling how Qingwen had upset her before, and she also wanted to trip Qingwen with a rope, feeling even more irritated, so she went with Xiao Qiao to pick wildflowers.
Xiao Qiao discovered a type of wildflower that, if the stem was pinched and twisted by hand, the flower would spin and fly into the sky like fireworks. Daiyu twisted several of them by hand as well.
