This infuriated the old village chief, who pointed at the speaker and cursed angrily, "Do you think you'll grow horns if you eat two taels less pork? There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. Once the higher-ups make the announcement, they'll know this is connected to our villagers. If we don't give them some pork now, they'll raise a fuss about it. You have no shame, but I still have!"

The villagers were so frightened by the old village chief's words that they dared not say a word. They lowered their heads and hurried back after receiving the food.

After receiving the food, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua went back.

After returning home, Xu Erhua, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke: "Do you think Chun Xing really did this?"

"This is roughly what I learned from Uncle Luo before. Now they are probably going to investigate the case in Li Qiang's hands." Li Tingyun guessed that Uncle Luo and his men had already handled Chun Xing's case and were now working on Li Qiang's case.

"I didn't expect Li Qiang to be so scary!" Xu Erhua muttered.

"Don't tell anyone about this. We don't know who among the educated youth is on Li Qiang's side. If he gets the chance to hear it, we will be in a lot of unnecessary trouble." Li Tingyun reminded Xu Erhua to keep her mouth shut about this matter.

After listening to this, Xu Erhua nodded seriously.

The two men put the food in the cellar, and after lunch, Li Tingyun went out with the basket on his back.

She was worried about Xu Erhua being alone at home, so she left Heifeng behind.

Now that she doesn't have to go to the construction site and the weather is good, many people go up the mountain in the afternoon. Li Tingyun originally wanted to go to the bamboo forest to take a look, but as soon as she walked in, she saw that it was full of people. She could only walk up the mountain with a backpack on her back.

Some villagers saw her walking up the mountain and followed her.

She remembered that there were several chestnut trees in the forest on the mountain. However, she had already pulled out quite a few of them before, and there would definitely not be enough for so many people. After thinking about it, she decided not to go there. She just found a mountain and planned to dig some mushrooms to make soup.

result……

In one afternoon, she picked up more than a dozen mushrooms. However, there were too many people in the large group behind her, and the mushrooms in this forest could not withstand so many people plucking them.

Forget it, she gave up.

He chopped a bundle of firewood and went down the mountain.

Li Tingyun always gets a lot of harvest every time he goes out. Xu Erhua probably knows what is going on by looking at these mushrooms?

"There are too many people. The mountain is full of people, and they are all following me. If this goes on, it will be difficult for us to get anything for the New Year." Li Tingyun said depressedly. Just as the two were about to enter the kitchen, there was a knock on the yard door.

Xu Erhua opened the door to the yard and saw He Fei standing at the door with a basket in his hand.

"I see quite a few people followed you today. Did you pick up any mountain goods? Erniu and I picked up quite a few. You can use these to make soup and divide the meat tomorrow. I'm going to town the day after tomorrow and won't be back for a few days.

When I come back, let's go for a walk in the mountains." He Fei told them his plan and poured the mushrooms into Xu Erhua's basket.

"Are you going to Sister Xiaolan's house?" Li Tingyun asked.

"Yes, his eldest brother's family is building a house, and my dad and I are going to help for a few days." He Fei replied.

Li Tingyun understood and sent He Fei out of the yard.

After He Fei left, she went to get two pumpkins and asked Xu Erhua to cook while she made some pumpkin pie.

Some were sent to He Fei, who was asked to take them to Sister Xiaolan, and some were left for Erhua.

She planned to go into the mountains for a few days and then go to Langao to take a look. The forest on the nearby mountain was dense, and maybe she could find a few ginseng plants.

While eating, she told Erhua that they were going into the mountains, and Erhua reacted strongly.

"No, it's too dangerous to go up the mountain alone." Xu Erhua still felt a tingling sensation on her scalp when she thought about what happened last time.

Li Tingyun soothed him, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. You know my abilities. The old village chief's health is getting worse day by day, and I haven't found all his medicine yet. I want to find it before the New Year. Otherwise, after the New Year, the busy farming season will begin, and I won't have time."

When Xu Erhua heard that Tingyun wanted the old village chief's medicine, she didn't know what to say.

I can only say: "You, you must pay attention to safety!"

"Don't worry, I know. Just stay at home and don't go out at night. I'll leave Heifeng to you." Li Tingyun said.

"No, you have to take Heifeng up the mountain, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Xu Erhua refused.

"Listen to me, there are too many people going up the mountain recently. I can run faster alone, but sometimes it is easy to expose my whereabouts if I take Heifeng with me." Li Tingyun found a suitable excuse so that Xu Erhua could not refuse and let Heifeng stay.

Xu Erhua knew that Tingyun was not lying, but she was still worried that it would be unsafe for her to go up the mountain alone.

"Okay, don't worry, I will be fine, I promise!" Li Tingyun raised two fingers.

Xu Erhua then stopped asking questions and turned around to cook.

Li Tingyun kneaded the dough and put it aside to ferment. After dinner, the two of them started making pumpkin pancakes together.

It was quite a lot to do, and they were busy until almost midnight.

After finishing the work, fearing that He Fei and his son would go out early the next morning, the two of them delivered the pumpkin pie to the He family overnight.

Uncle He opened the door. It was unexpected that Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua were still bringing them things at such a late hour.

"Come in quickly. Uncle will make you some midnight snacks before you go back." He hurriedly invited the two in.

"No, I have something to go out for tomorrow morning. Let's go." Li Tingyun pulled Xu Erhua and turned to run.

It takes at least two or three o'clock to finish the midnight snack, which is a waste of time.

There was nothing to do tomorrow, so after returning home, they boiled water and took a bath before resting.

After breakfast the next day, Li Tingyun went out with a backpack on his back. He told others that he had gone to the city so as not to worry the old village chief and the old branch secretary.

Li Tingyun went out before dawn to avoid someone following him up the mountain and making it difficult for him to get rid of them.

Xu Erhua sent the people down the mountain and went back. It was not too early to distribute the pork, so she went back to take a nap.

Li Tingyun trotted up the mountain, and after making sure that no one was following him, he continued to run forward. Today's goal was Tiger Mountain.

I found wild ginseng in Tiger Mountain last time, so maybe there is still some in there. Although it is a bit dangerous, there is a space for shelter, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.

They arrived at Tiger Mountain and it was almost ten o'clock before they entered the forest. At this time, the sky was bright. She ordered the stuttering dog in the space: "I will go out by myself today. You keep watch for me. Otherwise, if I get attacked by a bear or eaten by a wolf, you won't find another host and boss as good as me."

Stuttering dog...

Although this host is not very good, she is still its host after all. If she dies and finds a more stingy one, its life will be miserable.

Li Tingyun didn't wait for the stuttering dog to respond. The reason why she didn't bring Heifeng was that she bet that the stuttering dog would not dare to ignore her.

Not long after entering the forest, she heard noises coming from the forest. Afraid that something might happen like last time, she hid in the bushes and entered the space.
