"What's under the village? What's there?" Master Qin Guan no longer covered his butt at this time, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"We have to dig it up to find out!" Qin Xiao was also extremely curious.

"Now let's go back and fix up, get some tools, and come back to dig another day! We can't dig with our bare hands! Also, I have to call for more manpower from the bureau. We don't know where to dig just by ourselves!! And if we dig all over the valley, it will take forever!" Director Zhou said.

Director Zhou was now exhausted. He finally realized that ordinary people like them had no power to fight back against those creatures.

Although I have been protected all the time, there are always omissions in the middle. I can't be passive all the time, so I am very tired.

Being besieged by a flock of birds is simply unbearable to contemplate.

Mu Qingli would never say, "I can find out where those things are buried. Let them move around!"

Otherwise, if they ask me for help in everything, I won’t be able to handle it, and I, as an educated youth sent to the countryside, won’t be able to stay there.

Zhou Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I think what Director Zhou said makes sense! We are all very tired! Let's go back and prepare before trying again!" Then he touched his stomach and said, "Anyway, I'm starving!"

Everyone then remembered that they hadn't eaten since last night! They were so captivated by these mysterious creatures that they had forgotten they were hungry.

When everyone was about to leave, the mother crane stretched out her neck again and rubbed Mu Qingli gently. It was obvious that she was reluctant to leave. She liked this powerful and kind human very much.

"Take care of yourself! Be careful on the way and don't get ambushed again! Have a safe trip!" Mu Qingli touched the long neck of the big white crane and said gently.

Then he took out a small gourd-shaped porcelain bottle from his backpack, strung it with a strap, and hung it around the neck of the big white crane. "Don't get hurt again in the future!" Mu Qingli whispered in the big white crane's ear.

"Cry..." The big white crane let out a long cry, which was considered as a response.

After saying goodbye, two large white cranes spread their feathers and soared into the sky, circling above their heads and crying loudly. Finally, they slowly flew away, turning into two white dots and disappearing into the sky.

The two big white cranes flew away, and everyone returned along the same route and left the mountain.

After returning to the outside of the mountain, everyone felt like they had seen the light of day again. The thrills and excitement in the mountains for a whole day and night had kept their nerves tense. Now that they could relax, they felt like this was paradise on earth.

"Director Zhou, let's go back first! It shouldn't be dangerous to go to the mountains now!" After returning to the town, they said goodbye at the town entrance.

"Mu Zhiqing, why don't you come back with us first? We will send you back later! I'm sorry for making you walk back after all the trouble!" Director Zhou said politely, "There is no way to notify you now, otherwise I would have asked the driver to come and take you back immediately!"

"Director Zhou, you, a big boss, have to walk. Why can't we walk? Don't be polite! Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Zhou!" Fu Hongzhou said coldly.

"Goodbye, Director Zhou!" Qin Xiao also spoke.

"Goodbye!" Seeing that they were determined to leave, Director Zhou no longer insisted and waved goodbye and left.

Mu Qingli, Fu Hongzhou and Qin Xiao traveled together, and the three of them returned to the village together.

Fortunately, there are few people in the village because it is not the time to get off work. Now the weather is getting colder, and after the autumn plowing, there is less and less work in the fields, and more and more people are leisurely.

Although it was not time to get off work, the village was much more lively than before. Many young girls, young wives, and old women gathered in groups of three or four to chat in front of their own doors or at the doors of their neighbors.

Seeing this, Mu Qingli decided not to walk with them: "You guys go slowly! I'll go ahead!" After saying that, Mu Qingli walked away quickly.

Fu Hongzhou and Qin Xiao looked at each other. Fu Hongzhou continued to walk forward with an expressionless face, while Qin Xiao shrugged helplessly. It was obvious that he was afraid of gossip.

Fu Hongzhou and Qin Xiao returned to the Youth League compound. Li Jiaojiao and Li Shiyao were sitting in the yard, cracking melon seeds and talking to each other.

It turned out that they didn't get along and didn't talk much, but in the past two days, they started to become close based on the fact that they both had the surname Li.

"Jiaojiao, do you think that Zhang Zhiqing is thick-skinned? He's been pestering Bo Zhiqing all day long!" Li Shiyao spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and gossiped with saliva flying everywhere.

"You just found out? I saw it from the first day I came here!" Li Jiaojiao was proud.

"No way? It started then?" Li Shiyao widened her eyes.

"What's so strange about that? I see her deliberately picking fights every day to make her presence felt! Just to get the attention of those two!"

"Tsk tsk! You can't judge a book by its cover! I really didn't realize it! She doesn't like him, but he pesters her to make her like her! Shameless!" Li Shiyao said with a look of disgust and sarcasm.

“…” I think you are scolding me! But I have no evidence.

Li Jiaojiao was silent. Why did this sound so awkward? She couldn't respond to this, or else she would be scolding herself.

Li Shiyao could see that Li Jiaojiao was embarrassed. She reacted and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, Jiaojiao, I didn't say you were thick-skinned!" and explained hurriedly.

"..." Even more upset! Li Jiaojiao snorted coldly, picked up the melon seeds and went back to the house.

"...Jiaojiao! I really didn't mean you were shameless! I was talking about Zhang Zhiqing!" Li Shiyao blinked innocently. This was because of something.

...It's getting more and more excessive!

"Bang," she was answered by the sound of an angry door closing.

Li Shiyao was upset! Looking at the vanishing melon seeds in front of her, she felt as if the duck in her mouth had flown away. "Pah! If I hadn't seen you cheat so many people out of so many things in the past two days and you had a snack to please me, I wouldn't bother with you!" Li Shiyao secretly spitted and muttered.
