Just as Su Ruyi was hesitating, two beams of strong light from flashlights suddenly shone over.

She quickly stood close to the wall to hide herself.

At the same time, he extended his divine sense again and discovered that the person behind the flashlight was... Fourth Brother Su Tong!

And the other person was none other than her fifth brother, Su Tie!

Su Ruyi hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, what brings you here?"

Su Tong was startled by the figure that emerged from the darkness.

Su Tie, on the other hand, was more composed. He shone the flashlight on Su Ruyi's face for a moment, then immediately lowered it: "Ruyi! We've been looking for you everywhere!"

Su Tong then realized that the person who had come was none other than his sixth sister, Su Ruyi.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness, Ruyi! It's so good that you're alright!"

Su Ruyi asked in surprise, "Didn't you say I was coming alone? How did you all find me?"

Su Tong's eyes were moist, and his voice was tinged with reproach: "Two days! Ruyi, two days! What have you been doing here in the dark?"

Su Ruyi quickly said, "Keep your voice down, don't let them hear us. Let's go somewhere else to talk!"

As she spoke, she led the two men to the small ditch behind the village.

Just as they were about to continue talking, they heard a sound coming from the ditch that sounded like a fox's cry, or perhaps the wind blowing through the water—

"Ah...ha—"

Su Tong and Su Tie were both a little horrified, but Su Ruyi had already released her divine sense and saw the groaning thing lying in the middle of the ditch; it was Xia Tianyu.

Beneath her was a large pool of red liquid.

Clearly, the group heard Xia Tianyu's final, mournful cry before she died.

Su Ruyi said, "It's a dead fox, what bad luck. Let's find somewhere else to talk!"

After saying that, he pulled Su Tong and Su Tie along the ditch for several hundred meters until they could no longer hear the sound.

At this moment, the entire village was completely silent.

The autumn wind was already quite chilly, but Su Ruyi's heart was warm: "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother! It's really not easy to see both of you at the same time!"

Su Tie chuckled and patted the hair on her head: "What are you saying, silly girl! From now on, we'll live happily together for the rest of our lives!"

Su Ruyi asked, "Fifth Brother, what brings you here? How did you get leave?"

Su Tie said, "I was going to Xiao Tong's wedding, so I took all my leave this year. But when I got home that night, Xiao Tong said you were missing, so I came with him to look for you! We even hired an oxcart and waited at the village entrance. Ruyi, what are you doing all alone so late at night? Did the Su family kick you out?"

Su Ruyi shook her head and said, "I didn't go to the Su family's house, actually..."

She tilted her head and thought for a long time, not knowing how to explain this to her fourth and fifth brothers. In the end, she could only say, "Actually... I stayed in the village for a while. There were no more oxcarts, so I was thinking of finding a place to spend the night."

Su Tong said reproachfully, "Didn't I tell you to have the oxcart wait for you? Do you even remember where the oxcart came from? I'll settle accounts with the driver tomorrow! How could you leave a young girl alone like that?"

Su Ruyi quickly stopped her, saying, "I let the oxcart go first. I was planning to hire another oxcart from the village to go back, but who knew that watching such a big show would make it a bit late!"

"Oh? What big show?" Su Tong and Su Tie asked in unison.

Su Ruyi then recounted in detail the magnificent spectacle she had witnessed that day to the two of them.

Both of them sighed deeply after hearing this.

Su Tong knew that Su Yin had gone mad from a fever, but this was the first time Su Tie had found out.

Su Tie sighed, "Third Brother has always been quick-witted. He's always come up with all sorts of tricks to bully me and Xiao Tong. When he bullies Ruyi, he's utterly inhuman! Now, this is his retribution!"

Su Tong took off his coat and draped it over Su Ruyi: "Let's go, it's windy at night, let's hurry on our way, don't catch a cold. Besides, Yuanyuan is very worried about us at home!"

"Yes, and that girl Wu Lili was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She insisted on coming along, and I had to persuade her to stay!"

Sutie added.

"Fifth Brother, weren't you also under investigation? How can you take leave?" Su Ruyi finally asked.

Xia Nan knew that Su Tie worked for her. How did Su Tie manage to remain unscathed when Xia Nan was investigated?

Su Tie grinned and said, "Silly girl, how could Xia Nan be beaten to death so quickly? Have you thought about that?"

Su Ruyi rolled her eyes and suddenly realized—it turned out that Su Tie was a pawn that Shen Guoliang had planted next to Xia Nan from the very beginning!

From the very beginning, Su Tie's goal was to collect evidence against Xia Nan!

Sote has gone undercover!

Seeing Su Ruyi's surprised expression, Su Tie couldn't help but reach out and pat her head again: "Let's go, the wind is too strong, don't catch a cold!"

So the three of them returned to the village entrance, boarded an oxcart, and headed towards the town overnight.

The next day at noon, Su Ruyi and her group returned to Haicheng.

At that moment, Xia Tianyu's body was wrapped in a tattered straw mat and thrown far away on the back mountain by several militiamen under the command of the village chief.

At this moment, Su Yin, persuaded by Xia Tianxiu, ate both legs of a stewed chicken clean.

Qi Zhao felt a pang of sadness standing to the side—this niece is so outgoing! Su Yin is such a lucky guy!

In the afternoon, a sudden and heavy downpour began.

Summer Rain's corpse stared wide-eyed at the rain.

Meanwhile, Xia Dong, who was hiding in a cave on the border, had a beard that was already half a foot long.

He was tearing at the fur of a dead rat when suddenly a bone-chilling cold swept over him, and he involuntarily shivered.

Han Weiguo, standing to the side, was also swallowing snake eggs like a wild man.

He asked curiously, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Dong shook his head: "It's nothing. When are the people who're supposed to pick us up coming? Old Han, I really can't hold on any longer!"

Summer Rain was no longer aware of any of this. Her eyes were wide open in a daze, and the rain washed away her last tears.

...

A week later, Su Tong and Chen Yuanyuan's wedding was officially held.

Weddings at this time were not actually that grand.

This wedding definitely fell into the category of a grand affair.

Su Xiangjun lent out his courtyard to hold the banquet!

The newlyweds were all brand new, with big red flowers pinned to their chests.

A group of aunties bustled around, and Chen Yuanyuan received a lucky charm according to an ancient custom—she pursed her lips with red paper, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Su Xiangjun, also wearing a big red flower, read his hosting script with a big smile.

Almost all the workers from the food factory who had good relationships with Su Tong came.

The joyful atmosphere filled the courtyard, almost overflowing.
