After Ye Weiwei finished giving Huo Xiao acupuncture, Huo Xiao gave her a document.

Ye Weiwei took it and looked at it, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

How did you get this?

This is the list of wanted criminals with bounties that she asked Fang Ming for when she went to town before.

Fang Ming didn't give her the list that day; he made up an excuse to get rid of her.

Huo Xiao coughed lightly: "Fang Ming and Li Hao were my former comrades-in-arms. He's the one who told me you wanted this."

Ye Weiwei pouted, "It's not a big deal, and this guy even snitched!"

Huo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the look of amusement on Fang Ming's face when he mentioned this to him. He said, "Don't worry, once my leg heals, I'll go out and earn money to support the family. I definitely won't let you suffer."

He thought Ye Weiwei was worried about money.

“I know you’re skilled, but these thugs are vicious and have murdered people. Don’t take the risk.”

It must have been the hundred-yuan reward she received for catching Hu Jinpeng that gave the little girl such an idea.

Huo Xiao was quite helpless.

These thugs are not so easy to catch.

Ye Weiwei blinked. Although she had indeed considered doing bounty missions as a side job to make money, she just wanted to learn more in case she encountered one, and do a good deed to earn a little extra money.

Putting aside the fact that she's very busy right now, even if she weren't busy, she wouldn't go to the trouble of traveling all over the country to catch criminals!

These days, you need a letter of introduction to go out, and transportation is incredibly slow. She carries around a huge space and has superpowers and cheat codes. How stupid would she be to seek out that kind of suffering?

So when she went to the police station to get this list, it wasn't really to become a bounty hunter!

Ye Weiwei took out the portrait she had drawn based on Ye Wanwan's description from her basket and showed it to Huo Xiao.

"I only want this list to try my luck and see if I can find this person."

Based on Ye Wanwan's description, she felt that this person was very likely to have committed a crime.

If he were just a contact person, he should be as ordinary, inconspicuous, and natural as possible. He wouldn't be so well-covered up when meeting Ye Wanwan, yet still look wary and defensive, as if he were ready to escape at any moment.

In this era without surveillance, finding someone whose appearance is completely unknown is like finding a needle in a haystack; she was just trying her luck.

Huo Xiao looked at the portrait and asked, "Did you draw this?"

"Yes. After Ye Wanwan described the person's features, I drew a sketch. She said this was the person she was in contact with."

Huo Xiao's expression turned grave. "So, the evidence Li Jing had that day was switched by you? Someone wanted to harm you and your uncle?"

"Yes." Ye Weiwei knew she couldn't hide it from Huo Xiao. Just because he didn't ask before didn't mean he didn't suspect anything.

"I'll help you." Huo Xiao squeezed Ye Weiwei's hand. "Have you told your uncle about this?"

Ye Weiwei shook her head, "Not yet, I want to check first."

Huo Xiao looked at Ye Weiwei approvingly, "You did the right thing. The military's communications are monitored, and it's easy to alert the enemy if they're hiding in the shadows. But you don't need to worry too much. Since they chose to target you, it means they can't touch your uncle right now. Your uncle is still safe."

Ye Weiwei nodded. She had anticipated this, which was why she decided to investigate secretly first.

"How long will it take for my leg to heal?" Huo Xiao looked at Ye Weiwei with anxious eyes.

Before Ye Weiwei could answer, Huo Xiao continued, "I feel like my bones have healed these past few days, so I should be able to start rehabilitation training now, right?"

He was stuck at home while his little girl did so much hard work all by herself, which made him feel useless.

Ye Weiwei glared at Huo Xiao, annoyed. "If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll cripple you right now!"

Huo Xiao awkwardly touched his nose.

Seeing that Huo Xiao had become obedient, Ye Weiwei said, "You should have realized that my treatment method is different from others. Normally, it would be impossible to cure your leg. Even if it were cured, it would take a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. You would need to rest for at least three to five months. Now, if you behave yourself for more than a month, you won't be able to stay still. I think we don't need to treat you anymore. It would be better if you didn't listen and all my efforts were wasted."

"No. I'll be good." Huo Xiao gently stroked Ye Weiwei's hand with his thumb. "Don't be angry, I'll be good."

Seeing the guy staring at her like an obedient big wolfhound, Ye Weiwei gave him a playful glare, then packed her things into her basket. "I won't be coming to give you acupuncture tomorrow. I'm going out for a bit, so don't wait for me!"

When I was at work today, the village chief said that the autumn harvest would start the day after tomorrow, and since the educated youth settlement would be closed tomorrow, she would take this opportunity to go to the county's black market.

Huo Xiao looked at Ye Weiwei expectantly, and finally said somewhat dejectedly, "Okay, then be careful on the road. If anything happens, go find Fang Ming and Li Hao. They are trustworthy."

"good."

After leaving the Huo family, Ye Weiwei went straight up the mountain to the cave.

This place is now her secret base.

Upon entering the space, Ye Weiwei first carefully examined the wanted list. She actually found three suspicious individuals on the list who resembled the people in the portraits, but none of these three individuals had traveled this way.

Something is better than nothing. Ye Weiwei carefully read through the files of these three people and made notes.

Then, Ye Weiwei spent the entire afternoon and evening in her space organizing supplies and preparing things to bring when she went to visit her family in the Northwest.

During this time, she has used her supernatural abilities to create several large warehouses of grains, vegetables, and fruits. Some of them are rich in wood-elemental energy and are kept for her own use, while others are ordinary crops without wood-elemental energy and are intended for sale.

She plans to use these to test the waters when she goes to the county town tomorrow.

Considering the harsh conditions in the Northwest, Ye Weiwei prepared ingredients that contained a small amount of wood-elemental energy.

It wasn't that she was unwilling to give the best to her family, but rather that she didn't know what kind of monsters or demons might be lurking over there, and if the items were too eye-catching, they might bring them disaster.

To avoid suspicion, she ground all the rice into powder and even cultivated some black rice, mixing it into flour, rice flour, and corn flour. She deliberately didn't make the corn flour too fine, leaving some grains, so it wouldn't look appealing and wouldn't attract attention.

As for vegetables, she used her supernatural abilities to drain the moisture inside and make dried vegetables. A large cabbage weighed less than one-tenth of its original weight after being dried, and it was easy to preserve and didn't take up much space.

The most troublesome thing is the meat.

Fortunately, while gathering supplies in the apocalypse, she acquired a machine for making jerky.

Simply put the raw meat and seasonings in separately, turn on the power, and wait a few hours to turn the fresh meat into jerky.

She turned the wild boar, roe deer, and wild venison she caught in the mountains a few days ago into jerky. Thinking it wasn't safe, she simply turned them into small pieces, each about the size of a thumbnail, like candy, so that no one would notice if she secretly put them in her mouth.

Ye Weiwei tried it, and it actually tasted pretty good.
