In the past, he thought that Su Miaomiao went to so much trouble to help the village dig medicinal herbs and establish a medicinal herb planting base just because she wanted her family to live a better life.
But today she learned from Su Miaomiao's words that she might want more than that.
If that's the case, then he should prepare early.
…
As soon as Su Miaomiao and Huo Xinyuan arrived at the village entrance, they saw Wang Hongjie coming out of the village.
He changed into a navy blue suit and even trimmed his hair and beard. He looked a lot younger than before.
"Village chief, you look so handsome in this outfit. You're almost catching up with me." Huo Xinyuan exclaimed as Wang Hongjie approached.
"Hehe, this is the headdress I bought when I got married. After so many years, I didn't expect that I can still wear it." Wang Hongjie's face showed a rare embarrassed expression.
"This is so handsome, I'll wear it like this from now on!" Huo Xinyuan said firmly.
"How can that be possible? I work in the fields all the time. Such nice clothes will get dirty if I wear them." Wang Hongjie touched his clothes with heartache.
"Okay, let's hurry up, otherwise we might miss it." Su Miaomiao urged.
"I asked Shan Yazi to drive us there. He should be here soon." Wang Hongjie said and looked back. Sure enough, Shan Yazi was running towards them.
"Sorry, I'm late." Shan Yazi ran out of breath.
"It's okay, there's still time, get in the car." Su Miaomiao comforted.
"Okay." Shan Yazi immediately untied the donkey cart.
After getting on the car, they headed towards the county town.
Wang Hongjie really felt sorry for the clothes he was wearing. For the first time, he put clean straw on the donkey cart and sat very straight, for fear that they would get dirty.
Su Miaomiao could imagine how many critical moments in his life this set of clothes had accompanied him through.
Su Miaomiao moved her lips and wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed something was wrong next to her, and looked up at the woods on both sides of the small room.
This is the only way to get to the county town. There is a mountain road in the middle and forests on both sides.
"What's wrong?" Huo Xinyuan noticed Su Miaomiao's actions and asked.
"Someone." Su Miaomiao said in a deep voice.
"People? Where are they?" Huo Xinyuan looked around.
The next moment, seven or eight big men rushed out from the woods on both sides and blocked their way.
Each of them had a black cloth bag covering their head, with only slits cut for the eyes and nose.
"You... who are you?" Shan Yazi never expected to be robbed in broad daylight, and he was so scared that his voice was a little incoherent.
"We occupy this road today. If you don't want to die, go back here!" Those people were holding sticks in their hands and their voices were fierce.
"We..." Shan Yazi was about to say that they should leave now, but Su Miaomiao's voice came from behind.
"What if I don't go back?"
Shan Yazi looked back at Su Miaomiao in surprise, and the big men in the middle of the road also stiffened.
It seemed that she didn't expect that a little girl like her would be the first to resist.
"Miaomiao, there are a lot of them, let's hide away first." Wang Hongjie couldn't help but speak.
"Miao Miao, let's go first." Huo Xinyuan also advised.
It’s not that he was afraid of these people, but Su Miaomiao was here, and he was afraid that if a fight really broke out, she would get hurt.
"Don't be afraid." Su Miaomiao smiled at them faintly, then looked at the men opposite, "No need to cover up, I can recognize your voices, you are from the captain's village, right?"
