For several days in a row, Li Xingyue would occasionally strike up a conversation with Xiao Che. She was indeed capable; she had only been there a few days, but she had already made a good reputation in the village.
Xiao Che had been investigating who had escaped by climbing over the wall that day, and he was also keeping an eye on these people.
No abnormalities have been detected yet. No one has made a move against him; he's quite composed.
Life went on as usual, and before we knew it, it was the end of April.
Early that morning, my maternal grandparents, paternal grandfather, and uncle went out.
When Bai Yajing woke up, there was only breakfast warming in the pot.
Because of the recent busy period, and the fact that the whole brigade had a day off today, she stayed up late reading last night, which caused her to wake up late today.
After breakfast, since no one was home, she simply carried a basket on her back and went into the mountains to find some herbs or something.
Thinking it would be convenient to visit Liu Meiling at the educated youth settlement on the way, after spending time together openly, the two were considered friends who could talk to each other in the eyes of outsiders.
Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Wenming, Qiao Yu, and Zhao Liang were chopping firewood.
Upon seeing her approach, they all greeted her with smiles, "Comrade Bai, are you looking for Comrade Liu?"
"Yeah, I finally have a day off today, and I'd like to go for a walk in the mountains. Is she there?"
Upon hearing that she was going to the mountains, the three of them immediately dropped what they were doing.
"Oh, Comrade Liu and Comrade Xiao left home one after the other early this morning."
Comrade Bai, we were just planning to go for a walk in the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms, how about we go together?
Qiao Yu was particularly eager at this moment, afraid that Bai Yajing would not agree.
"Comrade Bai, it's more convenient to have more people together, and we can help each other out if anything happens!"
However, we're all men, so it's understandable that you're worried. How about we invite Comrade Li to come along too?
Bai Yajing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Since Liu Meiling and Xiao Che were not around, she decided to bring these people up the mountain. If she wanted to catch the enemy's tail, she would have to make more contact with them.
Li Xingyue heard the noise at the door and came out.
Hearing them mention him, he readily agreed.
"I'm fine, I'll change into something more comfortable right away. Comrade Bai, please wait for me."
After saying that, she ran back to her room in the backyard.
Since it was all agreed upon, Bai Yajing simply put down her basket and sat in the courtyard to wait.
Zhao Liang stood to the side, at a loss, wanting to talk to her but not daring to, the tall man acting like a timid little wife.
Bai Yajing suppressed a laugh. Oh my god, could this big oaf have taken a liking to her?
It's not that she's narcissistic; she inherited the best genes from her maternal grandmother, mother, and grandfather, and her face is presentable anywhere.
The reason why the brothers in the village rarely had any designs on her was all because of the bad things she did when she was a child. She had learned martial arts from her grandfather since she was a child, and she was invincible in the village...
Even though she toned down her temper and acted like a well-behaved girl as she grew up, the childhood trauma was no joke, which resulted in none of her peers daring to marry her...
Feeling the occasional glances directed at her, she touched her nose, inexplicably feeling a deep sense of guilt...
Qiao Yu, Jiang Wenming, and Li Xingyue came out after changing their clothes and saw this scene.
Qiao Yu's forehead veins twitched. This idiot!
"Hehehe, Comrade Bai, you've kept us waiting. Let's go. Liangzi, what are you standing there for? Go get your basket!"
"Okay, let's go."
Along the way, Qiao Yu and Jiang Wenming kept trying to talk to Bai Yajing, and Li Xingyue would occasionally chime in, while Zhao Liang followed in silence, which was unusual for him.
While chatting with them, Bai Yajing subtly tried to elicit information from them.
It was through these conversations along the way that she learned that Qiao Yu and Zhao Liang had lived in the same residential compound since childhood, and had even attended the same school and been in the same class.
