Luo Jingyan immediately raised her eyebrows. She thought the "big brother" that Black Tiger mentioned was a mountain king, but now he should be the leader of bandits on the mountain. She didn't expect there to be bandits here.

She hadn't even noticed before.

I don't know if it was here before or if it was recently moved here.

Because these bandits were involved in robbery, theft, and kidnapping, after committing crimes in a certain place, they would face the depletion of local resources and the attention of the local police, so they basically did not have a fixed stronghold.

Since arriving at the Victory Brigade, she felt that the area was generally peaceful, with no shocking incidents of theft or robbery, and human trafficking was rare.

So, this group must be new.

That's her guess; the truth still needs further investigation.

Those two wanted to abduct her up the mountain. No matter how bold the bandits were, they wouldn't dare to openly abduct someone in broad daylight, so they should have acted at night.

“Black Tiger, since they have such wicked ambitions, we can’t just sit here and wait to die. After I go out in a bit, you and Fatty Tiger will follow them to their lair, then come back and tell me. By tonight…” She curled her lips into a smile, “it’s not certain who will steal from whom.”

Black Tiger knew it could cause trouble again tonight, and its two bright green cat eyes immediately shone with excitement as it quickly nodded its head.

"Yes, Master."

After dinner, Luo Changtian went to school as usual, while Luo Jingyan went to the winery.

As Luo Jingyan went out, Zhang Xiaolong and Leopard, who were hiding in the cornfield, happened to see her.

The two guys had never seen a pretty girl before, and they couldn't help but stare at her, wishing their eyes could fly over and stick to Luo Jingyan.

Luo Jingyan looked in the direction Black Tiger had indicated and could see two blurry heads in the cornfield.

Once Luo Jingyan was out of their sight, the leopard scratched his palm and chuckled.

"Beautiful! She's so damn beautiful! I've never seen anyone so pretty before. She's like a fairy who descended from heaven."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaolong was also stunned and had not yet come to his senses.

After a while, he sighed softly, "Such a beauty is enough for us to admire with our eyes; we shouldn't have too much of a desire for her."

When Luo Jingyan arrived at the winery, she worked with Uncle Li for a while. After a short break, Uncle Li started chatting with Luo Jingyan.

"I don't know if you've heard, but the patriotic wife who came to our distillery last time went mushroom picking in the mountains and disappeared. Her mother-in-law went up the mountain to look for her and was bitten on the leg by a wild boar and had to be hospitalized."

"Uncle Jiu, I haven't heard of it."

“I heard it from my wife. A lot has happened to her these days. Some say she was eaten by wild animals in the mountains, others say she went too far into the mountains and got lost. They are all guesses, but most likely she was eaten by wild animals in the mountains, otherwise how could she not come back?”

Luo Jingyan was secretly annoyed at herself for being so out of touch with the world.

Since she left the educated youth settlement and later, after opening a winery and no longer having to work in the fields, she heard less and less news.

Normally, only Uncle Li would chat with her, or Jiang Manyue would come over and broadcast something to her.

Jiang Manyue hasn't come to see her yet. It's probably because Li Hongying has only been missing for a short time and she hasn't received the news yet, or perhaps she has already received the news but just hasn't had time to come and tell her.

Before Luo Jingyan could speak, Uncle Li Jiu continued, "I heard that she's been going to the mountains a lot these days, supposedly to pick mushrooms, but I haven't seen her bring back many. Besides, who can go up the mountain to pick mushrooms every day? I don't know what she's doing there. Plus, that time Liu Aiguo was bitten by a wild boar, and he said he went up the mountain to catch wild animals. Catching wild animals requires going deep into the mountains. They're really brave."

Master, I feel their purpose is more than just catching wild animals and picking mushrooms. Do you think they might have some ulterior motive?

Luo Jingyan always knew what Li Hongying was doing in the mountains, but she couldn't tell anyone.

"Uncle Jiu, you might be right. As for what they're actually doing, only they know."

"Could the disappearance of this patriotic wife also be related to that ulterior motive?"

Luo Jingyan lowered her eyes. Could Li Hongying have encountered danger while searching for the bloodstone necklace?

She thought that a grown woman like Li Hongying shouldn't easily get lost, so was it really because she was looking for the bloodstone necklace that she encountered danger?

"Uncle Jiu, we don't know the truth of the matter right now, but perhaps we will find out in a while."

Luo Jingyan went to the other side to check the temperature of the fermentation tank.

The news of Li Hongying's disappearance kept swirling in her mind.

Suddenly, she remembered the two people she had seen in the field that morning. Why were those two people staring at her house for no reason? It was as if they knew about her all along and came to find out on purpose.

How did those people know about her?

They must be secretly connected with someone here.

By the way, Black Tiger said those two people were plotting to kidnap two girls, one of whom was her. What about the other one?

For some reason, it reminded her of Zhuang Feifei.

As the female protagonist of this book, Zhuang Feifei is naturally very beautiful. In addition, she lives next door to me, so the people the two bandits were talking about are probably her and Zhuang Feifei.

She hadn't seen Zhuang Feifei for two or three days, and during this time she hadn't heard any noise from next door while she was at home, as if no one lived there.

What did Zhuang Feifei go about?
