Neither she nor Zhizhi noticed anything strange last night; it seems they were hiding it too well.
However, Lin Yuxin couldn't care less about that for the time being; she just wanted to survive until Li Xiaochen came to pick her up.
Lin Yuxin was living a comfortable life, but the entire village was in great pain because the croton oil she used was taking effect too quickly. At first, everyone thought they had just eaten something bad.
Later, the diarrhea became so severe that the village chief became exhausted. He went to see the village doctor, who said they had accidentally ingested croton seeds. Enraged, the village chief gritted his teeth and vowed to find the mastermind behind it all and tear her to pieces.
The entire village became even more heavily guarded in an instant.
However, after Qiu Qiyi was scratched all over his back until it bled, he still guessed that it was Lin Yuxin.
This is so typical of that bitch Lin Yuxin!! She must be here.
Qiu Qiyi was also furious and smashed things in his wooden house, but luckily they were all made of wood, so they wouldn't break!
This made Qiu Qiyi even angrier. He, the emperor, had fallen to such a state that even the furniture was bullying him.
Qiu Qiyi was so angry he wanted to kill everyone! After venting his anger, Qiu Qiyi calmed down a lot.
He slowly sat down on the wooden chair, lowered his eyes and pondered. Lin Yuxin, that bitch, was hiding in the shadows. He had to think of a way to lure her out.
That afternoon, Lin Yuxin heard the villagers spreading rumors one after another:
"Have you heard? A few men came to the village this morning, one of them claiming to be the regent of the Xia Kingdom. He demanded that the chief release his queen! How ridiculous! Where would a bandit's den like ours get a queen?"
"Who knows? Maybe they're here to cause trouble. It's happened before, and the boss always kills them."
"But the leader is still suffering from diarrhea. It was the second-in-command who went. I wonder if those guys have been killed by now!"
Lin Yuxin, sitting in the kitchen, was in a state of utter confusion upon hearing the news. Li Xiaochen had arrived? Just a few people?
She knew in her heart that the news was probably false, and Li Xiaochen wasn't the kind of person who would venture in alone without a plan.
But she was very worried, perhaps because she was too concerned! She couldn't take Li Xiaochen's safety lightly.
So after careful consideration, Lin Yuxin decided to go see Qiu Qiyi. Even if it was a trap, she had no choice but to jump in.
Lin Yuxin composed herself and, when delivering dinner, smiled and told the chef that she would be delivering the food today.
The chef thought it would be good to give the kid some experience, so he agreed.
However, before Lin Yuxin left, he repeatedly warned him not to look around, talk about anything, or run around recklessly, lest he not even know how he died.
Lin Yuxin listened obediently, and then followed a young man pushing a cart of food out.
"Brother Xiaoshan, isn't Uncle Lai being a bit too cautious? What danger could there be in these mountains?"
Lin Yuxin followed this young man, her eyes darting around, and asked in a low voice.
"There's no real danger, but there are a lot of secrets. Just remember one thing here: don't look, don't listen, and don't speak. Got it?"
Xiao Shan looked at the fair-skinned boy and kindly whispered some words of advice.
This kid has only been with Uncle Lai for two days. He's fair-skinned and clean-cut, and Uncle Lai likes him quite a bit. He always praises this kid behind his back.
Uncle Lai has been kind to him, so he should help him out a bit.
"Oh! Is that so? I'll remember that!"
Lin Yuxin nodded, looking very serious.
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin asked about other things, but Xiaoshan didn't say much and focused on serving the food.
Eating in Jipu Village is done at fixed locations, and there are three such locations throughout the village.
What Lin Yuxin and the others are delivering now is food for the underlings in the village. It's in an empty wooden hut with only one large table inside, which is 20 meters long and 1 meter wide. It looks like it was specially made.
Nie Yuan and the others would come here to eat. It can seat many people. After Lin Yuxin and Xiao Shan put the food buckets on the table, they could take as much as they wanted to eat, which was a bit like a modern cafeteria.
Lin Yuxin and Xiaoshan headed towards the next place.
Next is the place where the women and children in the village eat. Just like before, it's a large table, but the men and women are separated.
The last meal delivered was for the top two leaders, and what they ate was not the same as what the underlings ate.
So they have to go back and get it.
Lin Yuxin and Xiaoshan each carried a tray and walked towards the two large wooden houses.
Xiao Shan went to the room of the eldest boss, Kui Si Hu, while Lin Yu Xin also made her way to the second boss's wooden house.
Since Qiu Qiyi is looking for her, he must have been the one who released this news. That's why she has to come to him to find out if the news is true or false.
Lin Yuxin stood in front of the wooden house, looked at her clothes, and saw nothing different before knocking.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Enter!"
Qiu Qiyi's voice came from inside.
Lin Yuxin, carrying a tray, pushed open the door and calmly walked in.
"Second Master, your servant has brought you your meal!"
Lin Yuxin respectfully addressed Qiu Qiyi, who was sitting to the side, and then quickly placed the food on the table while her eyes carefully scanned the surroundings.
Lin Yuxin was still pondering Li Xiaochen's situation when she met Qiu Qiyi's eyes! Lin Yuxin was startled and slowly lowered her head.
"Second Master, please enjoy your meal. I'll be right out now."
Lin Yuxin didn't see Li Xiaochen here and was about to look for him elsewhere when she heard the man speak:
"Your Highness, what a refined taste! Your cross-dressing is truly convincing!"
