Jiang Yimian simply smiled and said, "It's already been resolved, don't worry."
Lin Zhaozhao was relieved, but still held onto the other woman, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Sister Jiang, how about I transfer a few guards from the Lin residence to you? It's really not safe for you in the village. If it weren't for your vigilance, something terrible would have happened."
She had heard that Qing Shi Village was on fire. If the fire was too intense, the whole village might be in danger. Those people were really arrogant.
Hearing this, Lin Yan'an quickly chimed in, "That's right, Yi Mian, I'll find you a few guards. If this happens again, the village definitely won't catch fire."
After saying that, she glanced at Lu Cijian, her face full of dissatisfaction.
That pretty boy is really unreliable; he even burned down the village house. If Yi Mian hadn't dealt with it in time, things would have gotten even worse.
Pretty boys just don't work; unlike him, he's so thoughtful.
Lu Cijian glanced at Lin Yan'an briefly and said indifferently, "There won't be a next time."
Lin Yan'an choked, somewhat dissatisfied. He waved his fan, about to find fault, when he heard Jiang Yimian say with amusement, "The village is fine. With me here, how could anything happen? You can rest assured."
Instead of worrying about village affairs, you should give me your share of the profits from the soap business first.
This guy doesn't care about important matters; instead, he's worried about things in the village.
Lin Yan'an was taken aback, and immediately scratched his head somewhat embarrassed. "This was my oversight. I will bring you the account book and dividends tomorrow. I have already calculated the dividends. You can take a look at the account book tomorrow."
It's all his father's fault. He insisted that he go to the hot spring resort to meet someone. He'd been busy for days, and today he finally had the chance, but the Song family ruined it. He didn't even have a chance to say a few words to that important person.
Not only did they fail to see the important person, but they also forgot about giving Jiang Yimian a share of the profits.
The Song family is really a troublemaker; nothing good ever comes out of their presence.
He made a note of this debt.
Jiang Yimian was finally satisfied.
Seeing that it was getting late, past noon, she simply said, "Let's go have lunch together."
She hadn't eaten much all morning and was starving; if they kept chatting, she was afraid she would starve to death.
Lin Yan'an glanced at Lu Cijian and was about to agree when Lin Zhaozhao pulled him back.
Suddenly remembering that he still had some things to do, he said helplessly, "Next time, I have other things to do."
After saying that, he snorted at Lu Cijian before leaving with Lin Zhaozhao.
Finally, Jiang Yimian, Lu Cijian, and Zhao Da ate together.
At this moment, in the small depression.
Zhao Dashu was still feeling uneasy because of what happened in the village last night.
If it weren't for Sister Mian's high vigilance, the workshop and the house would have been burned down, and they would probably have died in their sleep.
Even now, he still feels a bit annoyed. Although he sees that the small depression is fine, he doesn't know why he still feels something is off.
Seeing this, Old Liu comforted him, "Big Tree, you haven't slept all night, why don't you go to sleep with Erhei and the others?"
"Da Yong will handle the deliveries; you all should go and get some rest. You can't stay up all night."
Zhao Xing'er quickly added, "That's right, go to sleep quickly. Your Aunt Xiaoyun and I usually clean the room where you guys sleep, so go to sleep quickly."
This small depression is secluded; people who don't often go up the mountain definitely won't find their way in, so don't worry.
But you, you must be terrified.
Although they all spoke casually, they could clearly sense the danger of the previous night.
In the dead of night, when everyone was fast asleep, a group of people sneaked in to kill and set fires. If they weren't careful, the whole village would die, let alone the Jiang family.
Fortunately, Yi Mian was alert and managed to control the bad guys with Ci Jian; otherwise, things could have really gotten out of hand.
Zhao Dashu just shook his head. "I'm fine, I just can't sleep. I'll go for a walk in the woods with Uncle Zhen."
Although a whole morning had passed and there were no signs of outsiders intruding into the small depression, he still felt uneasy and was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep even lying in bed.
Instead of sitting here lost in thought, why not go look around? Maybe we can even dig up some medicinal herbs.
He learned a lot about medicinal herbs from Sister Mian, and while he was at it, he decided to take a look and also show Li Zhen around the surrounding area.
Li Zhen quickly agreed, and he and Zhao Dashu took a basket and a sickle and went out together.
As they walked, Zhao Dashu told Li Zhen where the surrounding paths led.
Seeing that the other person was very nervous, he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, this forest looks deep, but with Mimi around, there are basically no large wild animals coming. We often travel these paths, so they are very safe. Don't worry."
Li Zhen nodded and silently memorized the route.
The two walked in the woods for a while longer and found several Bupleurum chinense plants that were growing well. Just as they were about to dig them up, they heard a rustling sound.
Zhao Dashu and Li Zhen exchanged a glance, then quickly withdrew their hands and hid behind the bushes.
The rustling sound grew louder as it approached, quickly reaching the two of them.
Three men emerged in a panic, scrambling through the tall weeds. Their steps were unsteady, and their exposed skin bore small cuts, presumably from branches and vines.
The three men were covered in grass, and one of them had lost a shoe and was limping, looking rather disheveled.
The tall, thin man in the lead looked around with some dissatisfaction, then felt a headache coming on. "Damn it, we've been tricked. Who lives in this desolate wilderness? We might as well go to a village and set it on fire."
The two people next to him also had wry smiles on their faces.
"That's right, this mountain doesn't look like anyone lives here. We must have been fooled. That new boss is unreliable, he takes on any job he can get."
"Why don't we go back? We've already wasted so much time. We went up the mountain in the middle of the night and haven't found the way yet. We even ran into a wild beast and were chased by it all night. We finally managed to shake it off."
"It's been several hours already. If we don't leave now, it'll get dark again, and we can forget about ever getting down the mountain."
When he went up the mountain in the middle of the night, he vaguely heard the cries of wild animals several times. He wanted to turn back, but he remembered the silver that the boss had mentioned, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go up the mountain.
Who would have thought that they would encounter something terrifying soon after they went up the mountain? With a roar, the three of them were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
He didn't know what it was, but it was terrifying, and he didn't want to stay any longer.
If they were to encounter it again, they would either die from exhaustion or be bitten to death by that ferocious beast.
Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man immediately became somewhat displeased and retorted irritably, "Does that mean I don't want to leave? If I knew which way to go, wouldn't I have left already?"
Everything in these mountains looks exactly the same. They've been wandering around here for hours, unable to find their way out.
Fearing they might encounter some unknown ferocious beast, they dared not wander off.
