"What's wrong, Joe?"
The man who looked up shook his head: "It's nothing. Maybe I was just imagining things. I felt like something was watching us just now, but I don't feel that way anymore."
“Dear Joe, don’t be too nervous. No one is coming from here. We are safe.”
The man called Joe nodded but did not reply.
"Hey buddy, do we want to stop and take a break?" The same man who had struck up the conversation earlier asked the person leading the way.
The man leading the way nodded. He was just someone who did things for money. All he had to do was lead the way. He would do whatever they told him to do. The group of five stopped at the pear tree where Qian Xiao had been standing before.
"Hey, what's that on the ground? Is it a pear? Can we eat it?"
The man leading the way nodded: "It's alright, the taste is not bad." It's not unusual for pears to fall from the trees at this time of year, so he had no suspicions.
Upon hearing that they could eat them, the group unceremoniously picked up the pears from the ground, wiped them on their clothes, and began to eat them.
Not only did they eat it, but they also commented: "The taste is pretty good, and it's very thirst-quenching."
Qian Xiao in the space was heartbroken: "Damn it, I worked so hard to get that number, and now someone else got it for free."
Shuangdan quickly comforted its host: "It's okay, it's okay, there are still many on the other tree. If necessary, we can go deep into the mountains and see if there are any more."
Even if it hurts, she can't go out and snatch it back now: "Alright, we'll talk about it later. By the way, why do I feel like this person is talking a little strange?" She felt that the tone of voice was somewhat familiar.
"By the way, these aren't Chinese, are they? They speak with an accent, like foreigners speaking Chinese. And look at these four people, they're tall and strong, especially their features, which are very different from those of Chinese people."
She touched her chin and carefully looked at the four tall men outside: "It really is true. Look closely, especially at the person who is speaking. His hair is not pure black, but dark brown. And his eyes are also different from the eyes of people from China."
"These foreigners are quite cautious. If you've never seen a foreigner before, you'd think these people just look a little different, but you'd never suspect that there's anything wrong with their identities."
"Double Egg, what do you think these foreigners are doing in the deep mountains and forests of Northeast China? Could it be that, just like I suspect, there's some kind of treasure hidden in these mountains?"
Shuangdan stared wide-eyed at a spot where she could see outside: "I don't know. Didn't you say that when you're a little older, you'll go deep into the mountains to find treasure?"
"I was just saying it casually, I didn't really think there would be any treasure. It's only because the Wang family is so rich and they're still in the village that I thought that way. But where are there so many treasures for people to find?"
She was just saying it casually; it was all from reading novels before, things like how deep in the mountains and forests there are usually treasures or something. She didn't really believe that there would definitely be any.
"Hey Joe, do you think those things are still in the same place?"
Joe looked up towards the direction of the deep mountains: "I don't know, but I hope it's still there, otherwise our mission will fail. I don't like to work for nothing."
The dark brown-haired man shrugged: "Well, just as I thought. I don't like this backward and dirty country either. If it weren't for the mission, I don't think I would ever set foot on this barren land in my life."
"Damn it, Shuangdan, this guy actually dares to look down on our country. This is absolutely intolerable. I was originally thinking of waiting for these guys to leave, then going down to the village chief to report it to the police station, and we would just leave it alone."
After all, every time she gets into trouble, it makes a big fuss, and she doesn't want her family to worry about her all the time.
"I have such a bad temper, now I can't even be told not to do anything. Damn it, what kind of disgusting things are these, causing trouble in other people's countries and then complaining about them? These bastards."
"Where's my paper and pen? I need to write a letter to the villagers to leave a message so my family won't worry about me. After they leave, you can follow them. I think there are some villagers not far away. I'll deliver the letter and then catch up with you."
"Okay, but you can't go too far, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with these people."
"Yes, I will do it as soon as possible," Qian Xiao's subordinate said quickly, writing down the reasons and telling the villagers not to go up the mountain to look for her immediately, as she would take care of her own safety.
"Host, host, are you done yet? Those bad guys are leaving."
"Alright, alright, let me seal the envelope. Hopefully, none of these people have any accomplices in the village."
"Hurry, if you go out now, these people won't notice you. You have to catch up as quickly as possible, otherwise I won't be able to follow them if they get too far away."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Feeling the distance was right, Qian Xiao left the space and climbed down the tree as fast as he could. He took off running towards the village, all the while recalling the locations of everyone he had met on the way up the mountain and who he thought was the most trustworthy.
Found it: "Uncle Zhuzi, Uncle Zhuzi."
The man chopping wood in front turned around and saw the child looking flustered, gripping his axe tightly as if ready to fight: "Erdan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Qian Xiao didn't have time to say much. She didn't see Shuangdan urging her to hurry up in her mind. If it went any further, it wouldn't be able to follow those people. The forest in these mountains is very dense, and it wouldn't be easy to find four or five people.
"It's alright, it's alright, Uncle Zhuzi. Take this letter to the village chief right now. Remember to take it right away, and whatever you do, don't let anyone see it. Also, have the village chief come to my house and tell him. Remember to go right away and don't let anyone find out."
"Hey, Erdan, what are you doing?"
Before Erdan could even speak, he could only wave his hand and quickly run towards the place where those people had disappeared.
Zhu Zi glanced at the machete and letter in his hand, then at the firewood he had chopped on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ignore the firewood and focus on the letter. Er Dan was a mischievous boy, but he never joked. What if something really important happened?
Zhu Zi took off running towards the village: "Zhu Zi, what are you doing? Did a wild boar come down from the mountain?"
Pillar……
"No, I just have an upset stomach. I thought I shouldn't let someone else benefit from this, so I had to go home and use the outhouse."
Before Zhu Zi could finish speaking, he had already disappeared.
"When did this guy become so extravagant? He even has to poop in his own outhouse. Is it really necessary?"
"Pah, as if you don't do it that way. Who would be willing to waste manure? Everyone holds their poop and goes home to poop."
