They even carried baskets to the mountains behind to pick wild fruits. The season in this mission world was the same as the world where Wenxi lived; it was still autumn, and many leaves on the mountain had turned yellow. There must have been plenty of wild fruits on the mountain at this time.
Upon arriving at the mountain, Wenxi found a chestnut tree. She took out a bamboo stick and started tapping the tree, knocking all the chestnuts off.
She came all this way to help everyone, so she should at least try to get something in return for herself, right?
The chestnut tree is so close to the village, but no one comes to pick them, which means no one wants them. So why would she waste the chestnuts?
She wouldn't waste anything that was edible.
After all the chestnut balls were knocked down, Wenxi used the pliers she used to pick up crayfish to put the chestnut balls into a basket. Once the basket was full, she stored it in the system's warehouse.
More than an hour later, they finally finished picking up all the chestnuts. Then Wenxi continued walking and saw a persimmon tree laden with fruit.
Persimmons can't be knocked down like chestnuts, otherwise they'll rot before they're ripe and become inedible. So Wenxi had to climb up a ladder and pick them one by one.
This persimmon tree must be of a good variety, because the persimmons are really big. Two of them weigh about half a pound. Wenxi picked the ones she could, and left the rest for the birds.
Another hour or so passed, but Wenxi had a very fruitful day.
By noon, Wenxi was about to go down the mountain, but she didn't go to find Zhai Xueyan and Gao Jingwen. She figured they would be terrified if they saw what her 'aunt' looked like now.
After all, Gao Jingwen was almost beaten to death by her aunt's family last night.
No one entered the village until the afternoon. It seemed her guess was right; the world here was completely dark. It looked like she would have to report it to the county or provincial capital.
So Wenxi simply left the village openly, using the face of her 'aunt'. There were about ten people guarding the exit, both men and women, which explains why those who were abducted couldn't escape.
There are probably other exits, but people don't have the chance to wander around the village. Usually, once they are brought in, they are sent directly to someone's house, while some are sent to people in need. Where are they supposed to find an exit?
Before leaving the village, Wenxi used the sign-in system to scan the documents. She found the registration book and account book at a household in the village. She asked the sign-in system to make a copy, put it back, and then took the originals.
She also discovered a pile of treasure, and noted its location. If the human traffickers weren't dealt with, then someone would definitely come and take care of the treasure, which would bring the village into the light of day.
Having successfully left the village, Wenxi found the world before her to be desolate and uninhabited. No wonder no one had discovered what this village was doing; it was so remote and far away!
It was almost evening, which meant it would soon be dark. Wenxi didn't want to use the identity of 'Hao Liangliang' here, fearing it would damage 'Hao Liangliang's' reputation. Moreover, others could easily trace the Qin family through this connection, and she didn't want to bring any danger to the Qin family. Therefore, Wenxi used the identity of 'Auntie' as proof, so that even if the truth came out in the end, it would be 'Auntie' who would be retaliated against.
Moreover, she herself is guilty of numerous and heinous crimes, and she deserves to be punished.
So Wenxi rode her electric bicycle toward the city, where the houses were nicer and it was obvious that it was in the city.
When they were almost in the city, Wenxi put away her electric bicycle, then went to a state-run restaurant for dinner. After asking the staff for directions to the train station, she had dinner and then went to the train station.
She definitely couldn't leave at night, but Wenxi didn't go to the black market to sell anything. This was just a mission world, and if she couldn't stockpile goods, there was no point in exchanging so much money from the mission world, because she couldn't use it outside.
At that time, supplies were insufficient and she had no way to stockpile goods, so Wenxi found a guesthouse near the train station to rest. The next day, she went directly to the train station to buy a ticket and headed straight to the provincial capital.
At noon, Wenxi came out of the provincial capital's train station. Not knowing how to get there, she went to a newsstand to buy a newspaper. While buying the newspaper, she asked for directions. In this way, she found out the routes to several places and then went straight there.
Instead of going out himself, Wenxi went to the vicinity of those units and used candy to ask children to help deliver the messages. Now that it was broad daylight, the messages could be delivered directly to the staff, which meant that everyone would soon know what was happening in that village.
She sent letters to several organizations, mentioning both the village's situation and the hidden treasure. Fearing they might not act, Wenxi waited until nightfall and then went to the gate of the largest department and covered the entire courtyard wall with her letters.
Even if they don't care, the masses won't. Just for those treasures, countless people will go to search for them, and then everything that happened in the village will be announced to the world.
When Wenxi left the village, she had the sign-in system drug all the people guarding the village entrance, making them sleep for several hours. This way, even if outsiders came, they could enter the village smoothly, instead of being stopped at the gate as before.
The next morning, Wenxi hurried to the train station to buy a ticket to go back. She arrived at her destination at noon, but she was hesitant to go back to the village because she was afraid that she would be seen as an 'aunt' and have to go to her door. However, there were still a few people in her warehouse, and she had to take them back.
In order to send the people back and make them receive the punishment they deserved, Wenxi went back. Fortunately, there was no one at the village entrance, so she entered the village smoothly and rushed back to Gao Jingwen's house as quickly as possible.
She placed them all in Gao Jingwen's yard, then found a corner and slipped into the system's kitchen to hide. When she came out, she would be in the same corner, so no one would notice her immediately.
The group of people woke up shortly after being released by Wen Xi. When they opened their eyes, they were shocked to find that the two families were in the same courtyard. A sense of foreboding washed over them.
Gao Jingwen's family rushed home and found that the kitchen had been smashed open, the food inside was gone, and Gao Jingwen had disappeared. They screamed and ran outside.
Zhai Xueyan's family rushed back to the neighboring house and found that Zhai Xueyan was also missing. They also went out to search for her, and then the two families came to her door.
Wenxi was unaware of what happened next, because she was constantly wandering around the system kitchen and system warehouse to pass the time. In the system kitchen, she kept cooking to kill time, or doing other things.
Back in the 21st century, she wholesaled a lot of packaging boxes and canning jars, including the plastic kind!
Wenxi felt like each day was an eternity in the system kitchen, completely unaware of how many days had passed outside.
