Wen Nuan, who had just woken up from a nap, ate the freshly baked snacks sent by her partner while listening to Fei Fei reenacting the scene of the incident in the woods. She felt very regretful, "What a pity that we can't watch it live!"
Not long after Feifei finished telling the story about the woods, the village chief's aunt and the team leader's wife sent Li Mi back.
Wen Nuan held onto the wooden stick her partner had prepared and jumped to open the gate, "Aunt is here!"
"Hey, what happened to Wen Zhiqing?" When the village chief's aunt saw Wen Nuan using a crutch and jumping on one foot, she hurriedly asked with concern.
"Oh, it's okay, auntie. I just twisted my ankle when I was climbing the mountain yesterday. I'll be fine after a rest," Wen Nuan stepped aside to let the village head's auntie and the team leader's wife in. "What happened to Li Zhiqing?"
Wen Nuan looked at the village chief's aunt and the team leader's wife helping the dazed and stupid Li Mi in, and asked pretending to be ignorant.
"Alas, something happened and it's hard to say now. Let's help Li Zhiqing in first and let her have a rest," the village chief's aunt said with pity after looking at Li Mi, who seemed to have lost her soul.
"Oh, okay, auntie, come, come this way," Wen Nuan supported Muguai and led the village chief's aunt, the team leader's wife, towards the house where the female educated youth lived.
The village chief's aunt took off Li Mi's shoes and helped her lie down in bed. Seeing that Li Mi looked lost no matter how she fiddled with her, she said worriedly, "Is this girl going crazy from being stimulated?"
"It looks like he has not spoken or cried since a while ago, as if he has lost his soul," echoed the captain's wife.
"Oh, don't say that," the village chief's aunt hurriedly stopped her when she heard what the captain's wife said.
Wen Nuan had a problem with her feet, so she didn't go into the house after pointing to the location, and therefore she didn't hear what the village chief's aunt and the team leader's wife said.
The village chief's aunt looked at Li Mi, who was still in a daze and had no reaction, sighed, covered Li Mi with a quilt, and left the house with the captain's wife.
"Wen Zhiqing, please pay more attention to Li Zhiqing. This child is also a pitiful person..."
"Oh, oh, okay, Li Zhiqing is from our Zhiqing Institute, I will definitely pay attention to her!"
The village chief's aunt and the team leader's wife were in a hurry to go home to cook. Seeing that Li Mi was lying on the kang obediently although she was dazed, they gave Wen Nuan several instructions and left in a hurry. Not long after they left, someone came and asked Wen Nuan to notify Zhang Hongliang and Xie Sufang to go to the village committee after they came back.
Wen Nuan guessed that the village chief wanted to tell the two older brothers and sisters about Li Mi's matter. After all, Li Mi had become like this, and Lei Xiao had to go to repair the canal, so he had to tell them.
Wen Nuan's feet still hurt a little when she landed on the ground, but she could still make some corn porridge. Wen Nuan looked at Li Mi who was still lying on the kang without moving, so she jumped to the kitchen to make corn porridge and make pancakes.
Just as Wen Nuan had started the fire, the old educated youth came back.
"Sister Sufang, and Brother Hongliang, the village chief just sent someone to inform you that after you come back, he wants you two to go to the village committee. He wants to talk to you about something," Wen Nuan shouted at the kitchen door when she saw Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang put down their backpacks and firewood.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Hongliang asked, brushing off the dust on his body.
"I don't know either," Wen Nuan shook her head. Even if she knew, she couldn't tell it.
"Okay, Zhang Zhiqing and I will wash our hands first, and then go to the village committee," Xie Sufang said as she scooped water to wash her hands.
"Well, Sister Yiman, I have prepared the corn paste and pancakes, you just need to make two dishes," after receiving Xie Sufang's reply, Wen Nuan turned around and said to Lin Yiman.
"Xiao Nuan, I told you when you left this morning that I would cook when you came back. Your feet are not in good condition, so it's best not to step on the ground all the time," Lin Yiman had already washed her hands and was walking towards the kitchen.
"It's okay, Sister Yiman, I can still do this. My foot is fine now. I guess I just need to apply some medicated oil tonight and it will be fine tomorrow," Wen Nuan said as she sat obediently by the kitchen stove.
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Xiao Nuan, I'll cook," Lin Yiman said softly while rubbing Nuan's head with a smile.
"Xiao Nuan, look what this is?" Liu Xiaoling came close to Nuan with a handful of things in her hands and said in a crisp voice.
"What is it, Sister Xiaoling?" Wen Nuan curiously put her head close to Liu Xiaoling's hand.
"Dangdangdang... Look, wild walnuts!" Liu Xiaoling opened her hands to show Wen Nuan, "We found a wild walnut tree today. There are still some walnuts on the top of the tree because we can't reach them. Li Qiang climbed up and knocked them down with a stick. There aren't many, just half a basket. Try some first. They're delicious!"
"Thank you Sister Xiaoling!" Wen Nuan gave Liu Xiaoling a big smile and reached out to pick the wild walnuts.
"I'll knock it open for you!" Liu Xiaoling said, and went to find a stone in a hurry.
"Xiao Nuan, Yiman, Zhang Zhiqing and I will go to the village committee first. If we come back late, you can eat first and don't have to wait for us," Xie Sufang, who had packed up, stood at the kitchen door and gave instructions before leaving with Zhang Hongliang.
The weather was getting colder, so everyone packed up and sat around the stove, eating wild walnuts while waiting for Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang to come back.
"Xiao Nuan, what happened to those two people in the room?" Liu Xiaoling asked while peeling walnuts and nudging Wen Nuan with her elbow.
Wang Qingwen came back shortly after the old educated youth returned. After entering the yard, he went straight into the house without saying anything. His face was pale, not much better than Li Mi.
"I don't know either. Li Mi was sent back by the village chief's aunt and the team leader's wife in the afternoon. After she was sent back, she has been lying on the kang and not saying a word. As for Wang Qingwen, I don't know what happened," Wen Nuan said, looking clueless.
