On the way up the mountain, Shen Changan held Jiang Li's hand tightly.
Shen Changan was very strong, so Jiang Li had almost no effort to follow him.
This man must have known that she was too tired yesterday, so he was so considerate to her today.
Jiang Li just felt warm in his heart, and his strength was restored a lot.
They set out at around seven in the morning and walked until one in the afternoon before arriving at the new village.
This was all thanks to the guidance of the village chief and his wife, otherwise they would have been running around in the mountains like headless flies, not knowing when they would ever find the place.
Lijia Village is more remote than Xiangjia Village and the village is much smaller.
At the entrance of the village is a small wooden sign with a few blurry large characters on it. Only when you get closer can you see clearly that it is Lijia Village.
"This is Lijia Village. It is very likely the place we are looking for."
Jiang Li was so excited that even his voice was trembling.
Shen Changan smiled and nodded, “I hope I can find a place smoothly this time.”
Both of them were secretly excited, and this time they still pretended to be husband and wife.
After entering the village, many people immediately surrounded him. Shen Changan noticed that their faces were not friendly and they did not look like people who were easy to provoke.
Jiang Li's heart was beating fast, but Shen Changan's expression was calm.
"Hello, we are here to look for someone."
Shen Changan stood in front of Jiang Li and said politely and courteously.
Several villagers stood up with farm tools and glared at them fiercely.
"Who are you looking for? There have never been outsiders in our village, and there is no one you are looking for!"
"Get out of our village right now, or we'll be rude to you!"
"Get out! Outsiders are not welcome in our village! Get out of here right now!"
The other party's attitude was very arrogant and they didn't give them any chance to explain.
Someone pressed Shen Changan’s shoulders and started pushing.
Shen Changan did not fight back, but stared at the other person with cold eyes.
The person holding his shoulder felt a murderous intent and immediately let go.
Shen Changan took Jiang Li's hand and left without looking back.
Even after they had walked a long way away, the group of people were still standing at the entrance of the village, and no one left.
They went into the woods, blocking all sight.
"Chang'an, don't you think this village is a little weird?"
"I feel like there's something wrong with the people here, and they're too xenophobic."
Shen Changan nodded gently, his face looking a little solemn.
I originally thought that the matter would be settled soon, but I didn't expect this weird thing to happen in the middle.
Jiang Li's face also looked a little unhappy. He had originally thought that things would go smoothly, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big difficulty.
"What do you have in mind next?"
Jiang Li took the initiative to ask Shen Changan about his opinion, and Shen Changan said after a slight pause.
"The more xenophobic and abnormal they are, the more it proves that there is something fishy going on in their village."
"Since we can't enter the village openly, let's go in at night in the dark. I don't believe we can't find useful information."
Shen Changan made up his mind, Jiang Li nodded, Shen Changan's idea coincided with hers.
Now that we have come here through so much hardship, we naturally cannot give up halfway.
After all, it’s unknown when he will be able to come again, and Jiang Li doesn’t want to have any regrets before getting married.
She is not the original owner and does not miss her mother much.
I just thought that she was alone and was trafficked to a remote mountain village. As her daughter, I have the ability to rescue her. If I don't do anything, it would be a very unkind person.
According to the plot she had read, the original owner's mother was gentle and affectionate, and had a very docile personality.
The person she cared about most in her life was her husband, and she took good care of their children.
Given her personality, going to the mountains to look for her father must be the bravest thing she has ever done in her life.
I didn't expect that I would be dead after being brave just this once. I still don't know what happened.
She certainly couldn't accept her father's death, but since she loved her children so much, she shouldn't want them to be taken away.
No matter what, Jiang Li had to find her in person and ask her what was in her heart.
Jiang Li wanted to know whether she wanted to leave or stay.
No matter what decision she makes, Jiang Li, as her daughter, must meet her before getting married.
"Okay, it's already noon and I'm a little hungry. Let's go to the mountain to find something to eat."
It has been decided that it is not convenient to act during the day, so they have to wait until night.
It will still be a few hours before it gets dark, so the most urgent thing is to fill my stomach so that I will have the energy to work at night.
Jiang Li originally wanted to get Shen Changan out of the way so that she could get some food out of the space.
However, because of what happened before, Shen Changan was afraid that he would lose Jiang Li.
Now he has to take her with him wherever he goes. Jiang Li has no choice but to accept her fate and follow him.
Shen Changan investigated the situation in the woods, waiting for an opportunity to find prey, while Jiang Li followed him silently collecting firewood.
The two wandered around in the woods for more than an hour, but still didn't see any gains.
At this time, Jiang Li had already picked up a pile of firewood. She piled the wood under a big tree. Now she just wanted to lie down and rest for a while. She really didn't want to bother with anything else.
Jiang Li just sat down under the tree when Shen Changan suddenly stopped.
He saw two colorful pheasants in the grass.
Jiang Li was about to speak when Shen Changan put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence.
Jiang Li shut her mouth obediently, her eyes followed Shen Changan's figure, and soon she saw the two beautiful little guys.
Shen Changan brought a small hunting rifle with him this time, which he could use for hunting and self-defense.
He aimed at the pheasant and fired two shots.
Shen Changan's aim was excellent. The pheasant, which was still leisurely grazing, had just sensed the danger and was about to flap its wings to escape when he hit it repeatedly in the body.
Shen Changan quickly walked forward and picked up two pheasants.
Jiang Li stood aside and watched in amazement. You know, pheasants are very agile and react very quickly, so it is not easy to catch them.
The whole process from Shen Changan discovering the pheasant to catching it took less than three minutes.
When he came back carrying two pheasants with brightly colored feathers, there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Shen Changan plucked the pheasant neatly, then found two large leaves to wrap it. He dug two deep holes and was about to bury the wrapped pheasants when Jiang Li quickly took out the seasoning from his pocket.
"Wait, are you going to cook the pheasant now? You should add some seasoning first, it will taste better later."
