Just then, Qi Danu came in from outside.

"Big Girl, it's not Sunday today, and it's morning. You have classes. Why did you come here?" He Tiantian asked in surprise. Usually, Qi Da Niu would come in the evening.

Qi Danu had something to say, but seeing Qi Zhengmin standing beside her, she hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Qi Zhengmin asked. "I'm here, Sister Daniu, is it inconvenient for you to speak?"

Qi Danu said awkwardly, "It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just a little scary, I'm afraid it will frighten you!"

Qi Zhengmin was surprised and asked, "What is it that's so scary? Now that you say that, I'm even more curious."

“Zhengmin isn’t one of us, so just say it. It’s okay. Besides, she’s so bold, you can’t scare her,” He Tiantian said with a smile. Everything is calm now, so nothing serious should happen.

Seeing He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin say this, Qi Daniu didn't hesitate and said, "Sister Tiantian, do you remember when you were an educated youth in our village, we were cutting grass on the mountain and encountered a group of vicious tomb raiders? That time was very dangerous. If we hadn't been lucky, we probably would have been beaten to death by them."

He Tiantian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I remember now, there was such a thing. Qi Ling personally led the team to make the arrests, but some still escaped. We were really lucky that time, otherwise we would have been dead."

“Yes,” Qi Danu said, “I still feel scared when I think about it now.”

"By the way, it's been so many years, why did you suddenly think of this?" He Tiantian was even more curious about this matter. As a normal person, so much time has passed, it shouldn't have affected her anymore.

Qi Daniu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Tiantian, yesterday I was on the mountain with my students on an autumn outing, and I ran into two people. One of them reminded me of those people from back then, and when that person saw me, the look in their eyes was very scary, though it only flashed by and then disappeared. But I'm sure I didn't see it wrong."

He Tiantian frowned and asked, "Is that person still in Qijia Village?"

“Yes, I heard from a student in my class that her family owns a tea shop, and next door is a shop selling stationery. This person is the owner of that shop,” Qi Daniu said. “I originally wanted to go and take a look by myself, but I didn’t dare to.”

“If you feel there’s danger, then don’t go,” He Tiantian instructed. “Whether it’s true or not, don’t show it.”

"Mmm." Qi Danu nodded. "I don't think I showed it too much at the time, but these past few days I've been thinking about that person from back then and this person now. Although more than ten years have passed and their appearance has changed, I think their eyes and their gaze haven't changed."

"Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to investigate," He Tiantian said. "As for you, try not to walk alone in the future. It's safer to have other people with you."

"I'll be careful," Qi Danu replied.

Qi Zhengmin listened carefully to Qi Daniu and He Tiantian's conversation. After they finished talking, he asked curiously, "I heard my grandmother say before that the big hot spring outlet on the mountain used to be a big cemetery. Before the experts came to excavate it, it was visited by tomb robbers."

“Yes, those tomb raiders were quite shrewd. They not only discovered one tomb, but also a second one. They took a lot of things and caused damage, destroying many valuable items,” He Tiantian explained. “I’m curious, if they really were tomb raiders, they must have found some good things here.”

“Our village is so beautiful now, I don’t want these people to ruin it. With the development of tourism, there are many people coming and going. If some people have bad intentions, they might hurt the tourists,” said Qi Daniu. She has witnessed Qijia Village transform from poverty to prosperity and beauty, and she doesn’t want anyone to destroy the current beauty of Qijia Village.

Qi Zhengmin nodded and said, "Sister Tian, ​​we should have someone investigate this thoroughly."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "I will arrange this matter. None of you should take any action on your own."

"Okay," Qi Zhengmin and Qi Daniu replied.

In the afternoon, He Tiantian took her child up the mountain. Her family had made a lot of pastries, which they delivered to Cui Ying and others at the Dragon King Temple.

Along the way, several children were happily climbing the steps, having a competition.

He Tiantian walked along, admiring the scenery around her.

When I passed the fork in the road near Taoyuan, I spotted two people.

He Tiantian glanced at him a few more times, and the person also glanced at He Tiantian a few times before turning and leaving.

Even though the person didn't show any hostility towards He Tiantian, He Tiantian felt that those eyes were very familiar.

Yes, it's familiar.

In the past, when He Tiantian encountered such situations, she would assume it was someone she had met before but couldn't remember now, and wouldn't take it seriously. That's why she missed the opportunity to find out who Liu Lingli was in Nanshi.

This time, that feeling came again, and she couldn't miss it.

However, now that she has a child with her, even though she has the Xiyuhua hairpin, she can't create too fantastical a scene in front of tourists.

Once we get to the mountain, we'll find Cui Ying and the others and discuss everything.

Sigh, Huo Yingjie didn't come. If Brother Yingjie were here, we could have just let him handle it.

Meanwhile, Little Whirlwind Turtle, who was walking not far away, saw his mother looking thoughtful and ran over to ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"It's alright," He Tiantian said. There were many people around now, so she could talk to Xiao Xuangui later and let him investigate privately.

"Mommy must have something on her mind, but she's not telling Xuanxuan," the little turtle said. "Has Xuanxuan shrunk and become useless?"

"No," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Don't worry, Mom will talk to Xuanxuan tonight."

"Mmm," said the little tortoise, finishing its meal with the others and staying by He Tiantian's side.

When they arrived at the mountain, Cui Ying was teaching the children martial arts.

The child looked somewhat like Cui Ying. He Tiantian took out some pastries and placed them on the stone table, saying, "Hua Feng, have some snacks."

Hua Feng laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tian, ​​but I didn't finish my horse stance."

"Alright, the child is so young, he'll be so tempted to eat when he sees others eating," He Tiantian said. "Give him some face and let him have some snacks."

Seeing that He Tiantian didn't say that, and seeing her son swallowing hard, Cui Ying scolded, "You've spoiled my child ever since you came."

"No way!" He Tiantian retorted, "Your Huafeng is so obedient, it's not because I spoiled him."

"Alright then, let's go have some snacks," Cui Ying said. "Don't forget to thank Aunt Tian, ​​and thank your older brothers and sisters."

"Mmm, thank you, Auntie Tian, ​​brother and sister." Hua Feng is a chubby five-year-old boy. He is very strong, cheerful, and loves to laugh.

He always had a smile on his face, no matter who he met.

The children also like Huafeng and share snacks with him.
