Inside the package was a green robe embroidered with simple patterns.
The stitches on the clothes are almost invisible, but enough to show that the embroidery work of the person who made the clothes is very outstanding.
Shen Qiwen glanced at Jiang Li.
"This is……"
Jiang Li blinked.
"Brother Shen, this is the cloth my sister bought in town specifically to thank you for saving my life."
"Brother Shen has received the things, so I will leave first."
Jiang Li blinked and turned away before Shen Qiwen could react.
After he left, Shen Qiwen looked down at the clothes in his hand, thought for a moment, and put the things away.
"Zexing, is Jiang Wan home?"
Jiang Zexing was doing carpentry work in the yard when he heard a noise outside the gate.
He looked up.
"village head?"
Why did Cheng Renming come here suddenly? He quickly stood up and wiped himself clean.
"Are you looking for Wanwan? Wanwan is out and hasn't come back yet..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Wan walking in from the door with a backpack.
Seeing Cheng Renming, Jiang Wan paused what she was doing.
"Village Chief Uncle?"
When he saw Jiang Wan, Cheng Renming's eyes flashed and his expression became solemn.
Jiang Wan put down what was in her hand and walked over.
Cheng Renming's expression was different from usual. He came to her house today, probably for some important matter.
"Dad, please help me pack the herbs in the basket. I'll be right back."
"Village Chief, you came to my house today, but do you have something to talk to me about?"
The two of them went outside and to the path at the foot of the mountain, and Jiang Wan then began to ask.
"Jiang Wan, do you recognize this thing?"
Cheng Renming took out a purse from his hand, which was embroidered with lotus-pink lotus flowers. The design was simple, but the embroidery looked very delicate.
"Where did the village chief find this purse?"
Of course she recognized this purse, but she lost it a long time ago and didn't know where it was.
Unexpectedly, I saw this purse in Cheng Renming's hand today.
"This was found in the granary."
Jiang Wan pursed her lips slightly, looked up at Cheng Renming, and found that he was also looking at her at the moment.
Scrutinizing eyes.
"Does the village chief have anything to ask me?"
"Jiang Wan, what do you want to say? The village granary was robbed, and your purse happened to appear there. You need to give me an explanation for this."
"Village Chief, have you ever seen someone steal something and then leave their belongings at the scene?"
"Besides, this purse was lost half a month ago. I have been searching for it for a long time but haven't found it yet."
Jiang Wan looked calm and didn't show any panic when she heard Cheng Renming's words.
"If the village chief didn't believe me, he wouldn't have come here today, right?"
If you don't believe her, I'm afraid the person coming today is not him, but someone from the government.
"Jiang girl, then tell me, why am I here today? Aren't you afraid that I will send you to see the official?"
"Village Chief, even if you're going to see an official, evidence is required in court. What can a long-lost purse really prove?"
What's more, there were witnesses around her who proved that she was not present on the day the granary was stolen.
"I knew you were a smart girl."
Cheng Renming sighed, "The village granary is the food supply for the villagers this year. If we can't find it, the villagers will starve. Your wallet appeared at the wrong time."
"If the villagers knew about this, they would inevitably make other assumptions. I came to your house today because of this matter."
Jiang Wan frowned. This matter was indeed a bit troublesome, but it would not be difficult to find the person behind the scenes.
"We initially suspected it was bandits, but we found no trace of them. Moreover, if it was them, there were villagers within a mile of the granary, yet those bandits didn't harm them at all."
“Besides, few people know where the village’s food is hidden.”
The village chief stopped at that point.
She didn't know where the food was hidden, but there was someone who definitely knew.
——Jiang Yue.
"Village Chief, you have another guess in your mind, right?"
"That's right, but I have no evidence."
Cheng Renming smiled bitterly. It was not surprising that he could guess, but he simply had no evidence.
"Jiang girl, I came to you today because of this matter. Do you have any solution?"
He no longer concealed the truth and directly told Jiang Wan the purpose of his visit today.
"There is indeed a way, but it's a bit risky."
But if it succeeds, perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone and the village can return to its previous stability.
"you say……"
*
Deep in the mountains
Jiang Yue followed the trail in the mountains and found her destination.
"Who?"
Before she could get close, she was startled by a long knife that suddenly flew towards her.
A dark shadow flashed by and landed in front of her.
"Is it you?"
The man obviously recognized her, but he just frowned with a look of disdain.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Yue frowned. How dare this person speak to her like that?
On second thought, she really had not yet entered Huo Jiuyu's heart.
"I came here to tell you that you can't go to Huaishan today. There has been an ambush there. If you go there, you will be in danger of death."
"Who are you?"
When the man in black heard her words, his expression became serious, and a murderous aura appeared on his body, with a long sword across his face in front of her.
