No one could respond to him, and the others were also stunned, feeling that they themselves had made a mistake, but dared not speak up.

Just then, the leader saw the translator, grabbed him, and beat him up. "It must be you. Bringing you along is bad luck, that's why we couldn't find the treasure."

The translator was furious. He didn't know who he had offended. He had just been arrested and threatened a few days ago, and now even this Japanese dared to lay a hand on him. Thinking about this, the translator was enraged and thought to himself, "I'm not putting up with this anymore, I don't care who it is!"

He shoved the leader aside, shouting, "You're a barbarian! You hit people! I'm not providing you with any more service!" The translator then turned and left without looking back.

The Japanese were dumbfounded, but there was nothing they could do but wait until they got out.

The leader was dumbfounded. He had only hit him a few times to vent his anger, since he might still need the translator.

The leader was still not giving up, so he knocked and tapped every corner of the secret room, trying to see if it was buried underneath.

In the end, there was nothing there, so they had to leave unwillingly.

This time, Zhuang Zhiwu did not say goodbye to Zhuang Zhimeng again, and went directly with the troops.

The next day, the team leader announced that the mountain closure had been lifted and people could go up the mountain. The villagers all breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the mountain would remain closed indefinitely, which would have been a real problem!

Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai went over to take a look and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everything had been moved away.

Otherwise, if those Japanese find it first, I'll be furious, and that would really make me feel terrible.

The two were about to start cutting pig feed when the children who had been learning to read at Zhuang Zhimeng's place yesterday brought her the pig feed, saying they would help her cut it in the future as a way of thanking her.

Zhuang Zhimeng raised an eyebrow at An Qingbai with a smug look, thanked the children, and gladly accepted the proposal.

She sat on a rock nearby, watching the children busy themselves.

Of course, she didn't really do nothing. Every half hour, she would send a few children to her to learn to read, so that everyone could have a turn, and the children were very happy about it.

Ever since Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai saved him, An Baojin has frequently brought pig feed to Zhuang Zhimeng.

Now that he sees that he can learn to read, he wants to learn too. Zhuang Zhimeng has no prejudice against him and will teach him if he wants to learn. However, he is still young, so she will only teach him the simplest things.

And he doesn't bully other kids anymore, I guess he's grown up!

Zhuang Zhimeng spent her days occasionally gathering pig feed, but otherwise teaching the children to read.

An Qingbai would also teach the children for a while, and the children found that he didn't seem so scary.

In just a short while, he blended in with the children, who all started calling him Brother Qingbai. An Qingbai even proudly raised his chin at Zhuang Zhimeng.

Zhuang Zhimeng…

Zhuang Zhimeng finished work early today and wanted to sit under the big banyan tree; she hadn't been there for several days. An Qingbai didn't go with her; the villagers were still reluctant to interact with him.

When they arrived at the big banyan tree, Aunt Wang was indeed there.

He greeted Zhuang Zhimeng warmly and gestured for her to come over and chat.

"Let me tell you, I heard there have been some thefts in the next village recently. You live in a remote area, so you have to be careful, but having a dog there should make things a little easier..."

Zhuang Zhimeng was chatting with Aunt Wang with her back to the village entrance.

Hao Caiyun and Zhuang Xingzhou arrived at the village entrance and saw some people talking in the distance. Suddenly, Hao Caiyun looked closely and exclaimed, "Hey! Baby's here too!"

"Xingzhou, look! Our daughter! She made this outfit herself, and I even complimented her on how good it looked when I was home!"

Zhuang Xingzhou took a look and it was true; his daughter had such an elegant air about her from behind.

The two walked over quickly.

Zhuang Zhimeng sensed someone approaching and turned around to look. The next second, she suddenly threw herself into the person's arms.

"Mom, I miss you so much!"

"Yaya, Mommy's baby, I miss you too!"

"Cough! Cough!" Zhuang Zhimeng looked up and saw her father.

She rushed over and hugged him, saying, "Dad, I missed you the most!"

"Cough! That's more like it!"

Zhuang Zhimeng greeted Aunt Wang and then took her parents home.

Seeing them carrying large and small bags, I quickly took a few and carried them myself.

The villagers only started discussing it after the family of three had walked away.

"What does this educated youth's family do? Why are they carrying so much stuff just to see their daughter?"

"How can you spoil your daughter like that? In the end, she'll always belong to someone else!"

"What are you all so envious of? If you're so capable, why don't you spoil your daughters too! You don't love your own daughters, so you won't let others love them either? I just think Zhuang Zhiqing is pretty. If she were my daughter, I would love her to death!"

Seeing Wang Zhaodi's posture, everyone knew she would get angry if they continued talking, so they quickly changed the subject.
