Chapter 22 : Crown Prince Li

Suddenly, I heard a dangerous sound and instinctively knew someone was approaching. Although I am a well-bred lady from the Cui family, I have lived through turbulent times, learning horse riding and hunting. I am also proficient with a gun, which I always carry with me.

突然我听到了危险的声音，下意识我就知道有人靠近了，我虽然是名门闺秀，崔氏之女。但是我生活在乱世，骑马射猎我都学过，并且我还会枪，而且我还随身都携带了枪。

I would never dare to wander alone in remote areas without being well-prepared. Because I have a gun, I felt secure.

如果不是早有防备，我绝对不敢一个人孤身在荒郊野外上行走。因为有枪，所以我有恃无恐。

\"Don\''t move!\" I aimed my gun at the suspicious stranger.

“我有这个又有什么可怕的呢？”我用眼神瞄了瞄我手上的枪。

I later discovered that I would frequently encounter the young man at this location. He was also deeply passionate about enhancing crop yields, and I viewed him as a kindred spirit.

后来，我发现我在这里会经常碰到那个小伙子，他也很热心提高农作物产量的收成，他可以算是我的知音吧！至少我把他当作了知音。

I believe he was talented and intelligent, someone who took the initiative. Even if such a person were born into a low-income family, he would eventually forge a respectable life for himself.

在我心中的他有才华，有头脑，是个身体力行的人，这样的人即使是出身贫寒之家，也终将会混出一个有模有样的人生来的。
