Li Tingyun and Gu Xingwu sent the two men to the mountain. Now that the road was being repaired and there were people there, they had to be more careful than before.
When the two of them came down from the mountain, they actually saw Old Chen herding ducks. Old Chen was carrying a sack and looked sneaky.
The two looked at each other and followed carefully.
Old Chen carried the sack back to his residence, lit the kerosene lamp, and poured out the contents of the sack.
There were actually women's things inside, including a big piece of meat.
Seeing that this was a pervert, Li Tingyun suddenly had an idea and pulled Gu Xingwu back first.
When they got home and closed the door, Xu Erhua had already cleaned the kitchen. There were so many things that it would last them a long time.
"Erhua, I feel like we won't lack anything for a long time. Put some of these things in the cellar of the woodshed and some in the cellar of my room. Some of them can be saved until spring." Li Tingyun looked at so many things and felt that it was all thanks to Gu Xingwu.
Gu Xingwu was a little absent-minded. On the one hand, he was thinking about the things on the mountain, and on the other hand, he was thinking about Old Chen.
Xu Erhua helped carry the things to Li Tingyun's room. Li Tingyun took out two pieces of cloth and asked Xu Erhua to choose one.
"Any piece will do, but the pattern is too flashy. Why don't we put it all in the cellar first." Xu Erhua felt that clothes made of such beautiful fabric could not be worn outside the village.
Li Tingyun looked at the style and it seemed to be true, so she nodded in agreement.
The cellar is under the bed, so it is not easy to be found. Take out some of the things you want to eat recently and put the rest in the cellar.
"Okay, go back to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow." After finishing, she urged Xu Erhua to go to bed.
Xu Erhua asked worriedly, "Tingyun, when are you going to take action?"
"No rush. We have to wait for news from Uncle Luo." Li Tingyun comforted Xu Erhua. In fact, she didn't want to wait for Uncle Luo and the others.
However, she needs to wait for an opportunity to go up the mountain alone.
Alternatively, you can bring Gu Xingwu along. Anyway, you can just knock him out and throw him into the space, which will make things more convenient.
Xu Erhua didn't think much about it and went back to rest with peace of mind.
Li Tingyun was also tired, so he closed the door and fell asleep quickly.
At midnight, Gu Xingwu came out of the house and went up the mountain alone, trying to find the whereabouts of those people.
As a result, he found nothing until almost dawn. He didn't want to make Li Tingyun too worried, so he had to hurry down the mountain and return to the room.
Gu Xingwu had just returned to the room when Li Tingyun got up.
Not long after Li Tingyun got up, Xu Erhua also got up, and the two of them prepared breakfast in the kitchen.
During breakfast, Li Tingyun noticed that Gu Xingwu was not in good condition, so he said, "We won't go up the mountain today. You should rest at home for a day."
"Okay!" Gu Xingwu nodded, suppressing his tiredness and not yawning.
But, Li Tingyun is so smart, how could he not see the trick?
While waiting for Xu Erhua to return to the room, she whispered a warning to Gu Xingwu: "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. If you dare to go up the mountain alone to find those people again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Gu Xingwu looked up at Li Tingyun and found that she seemed really angry.
Li Tingyun widened her eyes, her face full of anger. She didn't want the person she had rescued with such great difficulty to be sacrificed. How would she explain to Uncle Luo and Chen Tie then?
Gu Xingwu met Li Tingyun's gaze and lowered his head guiltily.
"Did you hear that?" Li Tingyun growled.
"Listen, I heard it." Gu Xingwu lowered his voice like a child who had done something wrong.
Xu Erhua went out and heard Li Tingyun's voice sounding strange. She quickly walked to the kitchen and found that Li Tingyun had a dark face towards Gu Xingwu.
"What, what happened?" she asked curiously.
When Li Tingyun heard Xu Erhua's voice, his expression softened and he said, "It's okay. I'll just let him stay home alone."
"I'm glad you're okay. Let's go. It's getting late." Xu Erhua responded and turned away.
Li Tingyun glared at Gu Xingwu again, walked out of the kitchen, and followed behind with the backpack on his back.
Before leaving, she looked at Heifeng again: "Heifeng, if he dares to run around, tell me when he comes back."
Woof woof woof…
Heifeng barked twice and swung its tail vigorously. After waiting for its owner to leave, it walked to Gu Xingwu and squatted down.
Gu Xingwu...
Sooner or later, one day you will be lying there unable to stand up.
Black Wind...
I'm not afraid of you. If it weren't for your status as my master, I would bite you to death!
Woof woof woof!
It bared its teeth and roared at Gu Xingwu.
Li Tingyun didn't know all this. She and Xu Erhua came to the construction site and started a busy day.
They didn't plan to go up the mountain today, so the two of them helped chop firewood, wash vegetables, and cook, allowing Aunt Daye and Xiaozhuang's mother to have a good rest for a day.
"You've worked hard climbing the mountain. Take a rest and let us do it." Xiao Zhuang's mother said as she snatched the axe from Xu Erhua's hand.
Xu Erhua chuckled and shook her head: "Didn't we take a day off yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, he's still restless even after a day's rest!" Xiao Zhuang's mother said with a smile. Her grandfather praised the bamboo rat meat he had last night.
Hehehe…
Xu Erhua was still smiling.
Li Tingyun and Aunt Daye began to busy themselves with sifting rice. They chatted and laughed, and finished the work before three o'clock in the afternoon.
After finishing all these, Li Tingyun was planning to fry the food for the evening guests, but was stopped by Aunt Daye.
"Don't be in a hurry to cook. Chen Laoqi is on duty tonight. He just told me not to cook too early. Wait until you are about to get off work. He will come to eat when it is done." Aunt Daye felt annoyed when she thought of Chen Laoqi.
"His surname is also Chen. Is he a relative of Old Chen from the duck shed?" Li Tingyun asked casually.
"Chen Laoqi is Lao Chen's cousin. They are of the same character and both love money like their life. However, Chen Laoqi is more hardworking than Lao Chen." Aunt Daye also gossiped about it.
Li Tingyun took notes after listening. She left late on purpose and saw Chen Laoqi appear.
When Xu Erhua saw Chen Laoqi, she suddenly felt that he looked familiar. She was stunned for a moment and then lowered her head.
On the way back, Aunt Daye went with them, and Li Tingyun asked about Chen Laoqi and Lao Chen again.
Once she started talking, Aunt Daye started talking a lot. She walked to where Li Tingyun and the others lived, then said goodbye to Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua and left.
As soon as Auntie Da'e left, Xu Erhua excitedly took Li Tingyun's hand and said, "I feel that Chen Laoqi's figure is a bit similar to that person that day."
"Are you sure?" Li Tingyun asked.
Xu Erhua thought about it seriously, nodded and shook her head.
