Xiao Yichen felt a little melancholy.

Their location is extremely far from Haishi.

This route passes through many places.

If He Laoxi gets off the bus halfway, none of them can say for sure.

Another point is that, in order to avoid alerting the people involved, these surveillance agents usually work alone for a stretch of road.

It definitely won't be the same one.

But now, the journey is so far?

There aren't enough to go around even with so many people!

If He Laoxi really went to Shanghai.

So how should I follow him along the way without arousing his suspicion?

What are the reasons?

Xiao Yichen rubbed his fingers together.

My mind is racing.

But his eyes were looking outside.

Pedestrians came and went, their steps hurried, but their spirits were high.

Everyone should greet this happy life with their best self.

Suddenly, Xiao Yichen's hand paused.

Life?!

A glint of light flashed quickly in his eyes.

Yes, life!!

Life is good!

The more natural and relatable something is, the less likely it is to arouse suspicion!

His wife's hometown is Haishi.

They've been married for so long, and they even have a child.

It's time to take my wife back to visit!

Even an ugly son-in-law has to meet his father-in-law, right?!

To the outside world, they said that his wife was homesick after getting pregnant.

I want to go back and take a look.

Bringing your wife along to keep watch, I don't think anyone would do that!

That's a great idea.

When I got home in the evening.

Xiao Yichen had a roast chicken in a basket in front of the handlebars of his bicycle. He pushed the bicycle over the threshold and entered the yard.

At this moment, Su Ruobai was sitting by the low wall.

Holding a small hammer, he cracked pine nuts and ate them.

There are many species of trees in the mountains.

There are many pine trees, but only the pine nuts produced by Korean pine trees are large and delicious.

This stuff is very oily, but she loves to eat it.

These trees were already decades old when they started producing pine nuts.

He's really tall.

Climbing trees to collect pine cones is not only arduous but also dangerous.

And this isn't something you absolutely have to eat.

So nobody likes to go.

But there will always be someone to buy it.

I heard the price is not low on the black market.

Every year, Shangwan Village has a few skilled tree climbers who form teams to harvest pine nuts.

Then we sold it—no, we traded it—and split the money equally.

Su Ruobai was unaware of this matter.

She finds whatever she wants to eat herself by going into the mountains.

These pine nuts too.

The danger posed by tall trees was nothing to her.

A vine sprouted and climbed up the tree trunk.

Then the pine cones started falling like rain, pattering down.

Judging by their posture, it's not over until they knock down the last pine cone.

Su Ruobai thought that there were many small creatures living in these mountains.

They also need food to survive the winter.

Stop right away.

Let the vines continue on a different tree.

Upon receiving the command, the vines drooped down listlessly.

Why don't they give them a chance to shine?

Su Ruobai found it amusing. Ever since he took Su Jiaqi's half of the broken jade, not only had a sea appeared in his space, but these vine seeds also seemed to have evolved.

It seems to be developing some self-awareness.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Let's wait and see.

Anyway, after she's finished using them, she'll turn them back into seeds.

Easy to carry.

Later, while he was cracking pine nuts in the yard, Zhou Aihui happened to come and borrow a hoe.

The two chatted about how delicious pine nuts were.

That's when she learned it from Zhou Aihui.

In their village, there are actually people who make these things. Not only pine nuts, but also hazelnuts, dried blueberries, dried mushrooms, and so on.

It's anything that can be found in the mountains.

They can get them.

There are even various kinds of dried meat.

Su Ruobai's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Then, Zhou Aihui took him to exchange some items.

Those people, without someone they know to guide them, would never trade with others.

After they were switched back, they were simply thrown into the warehouse and hung up.

This will clarify the origin of these things.

Otherwise, how could she explain it clearly?

She's pregnant? Climbing up a tree dozens of meters high to collect pine cones?

Does she dare say it, or would anyone believe her?!

Even if we believe it, shouldn't we consider the well-being of these people?

However, on the other hand...

Ai Hui has only been here for a few days this week, and she already knows about these kinds of secret things in the village.

What a talent!

When Xiao Yichen entered the room, he saw his wife holding a small hammer, cracking pine nuts.

With each clang, Xiao Yichen felt a headache coming on.

Can't this woman have any awareness of being pregnant?

They actually climbed a tree to knock down pine cones.

Those trees are so tall!

The veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Xiao Yichen suppressed his anger.

Adjust your facial expression.

A serious face can transform into a cheerful one; that's what makes a person human.

"Wife, where are these pine nuts from?" I have to find out before I can think about what to say.

Moreover, his voice was deep and gentle, filled with concern.

As soon as those words were spoken...

The car over there is also secured.

I went to the well to wash my hands and face before coming back.

He's been out running around all day.

He's covered in dust, so please don't let the smell bother his precious wife and daughter.

Su Ruobai already knew he was back.

It's quiet here; you can hear even the slightest sound.

She could still distinguish the sounds of their bicycles.

She ignored him because she sensed that Xiao Yichen's emotions were fluctuating a bit too much.
