This is no small matter. Although it's just a small county, it has a large population and is located near the border. Every country takes its borders very seriously, and no ruler, except perhaps a foolish one, would neglect them.
Tang Baozhu was somewhat relieved that she had discovered it; otherwise, the country would have suffered another war, and who knows how many more people would have died.
I also felt that those people were so evil. They had been selling poppies here for decades, harming the people of an entire county. They were despicable.
"Brother Li, have those two elderly people been arrested?"
"They've definitely been arrested, but they're still selling wontons with poppy powder added these past few days. Once the higher-ups send troops over, they'll put the whole city through addiction treatment."
Tang Baozhu felt a little better when she heard that they had been arrested. She hoped that they could uncover the truth and bring them all to justice.
After all, these wontons have been sold for one or two decades. Surely some clever people must have discovered their secret. I wonder if they joined in or were dealt with.
After the two finished talking, Li Jun wanted to spend more time with Baozhu, so he asked her, "Baozhu, is there anything I can do? Just tell me what you need, especially the heavy or tiring work."
It wasn't that there wasn't any heavy work. Besides Li Jun, I didn't seem to know who else to call. "Brother Li, I want to plant a ring of thorny vines along the wall. I'd like you to help us dig them up the mountain. These two mountains are too dangerous without someone to guide us. Not everyone is as capable as Brother Li and can come down from the mountain safely."
Tang Baozhu wasn't joking. It was really dangerous for ordinary villagers to go up those two mountains, but Li Jun had a natural sense of direction. No matter how deep into the mountains he went, he could always find his way back, unlike others.
Sometimes she would think to herself that Li Jun's abilities must be quite impressive in military campaigns, at least he wouldn't have to worry about getting lost when chasing the enemy.
Since Baozhu was willing to help, Li Jun agreed without hesitation. However, he was worried that it would be too dangerous to take Baozhu up the mountain.
“Baozhu, you should focus on embroidering at home. You can’t come up the mountain with me. Your hands will get rough and you won’t be able to embroider. I’ll go instead. Don’t worry, I’ll bring it back and help you plant it.”
Tang Baozhu wanted to go up the mountain mainly because she wanted to see it. After hearing so many bizarre stories about these two mountains, she felt that they had been exaggerated into something mystical.
So she wanted to see for herself how many life-saving items she had that made her unafraid to go up the mountain.
But since she's unwilling, then forget it. I'll just go see her secretly when I'm alone sometime, without anyone following me.
"Alright then, I won't go. Thank you, Brother Li."
Li Jun's lips curled slightly, looking as if he were smiling. He didn't intend to sit any longer, so he grabbed a hoe from the storeroom and prepared to go up the mountain.
When passing by his own house, he would also bring his hunting tools, and then go directly up the mountain from the side of his house.
Tang Baozhu noticed that he was going up the mountain in the late afternoon and wondered if it would be dangerous. She thought it would be better to go in the morning to avoid the wild animals coming out after dark.
With Li Jun's safety on her mind, she wasn't as focused on embroidery as usual. She embroidered for about three hours in the room until her eyes ached, so she put it aside and prepared to go out for a walk.
At this moment, the sun was setting. Tang Baozhu looked at the distant mountains and thought that it was getting dark. Brother Li should be coming down soon, right?
Sitting there embroidering all day long makes my whole body ache. I'd like to move around in the yard, but I'm not alone at home anymore, and I feel it would be too unseemly to ruin my image.
I can only exercise more in the space when I rest at night. When I came to the backyard, I saw Qingliu and Chunxue sowing seeds.
Except for the location of the two peach trees, the rest of the area has been dug out. No wonder they have so many calluses on their hands. It seems they are used to farm work, which is why they were able to dig out such a large area in just two days.
She's incredibly capable; she couldn't do it herself. She would definitely bring out the robots and ask them to help with the work.
"Green Willow, Spring Snow, what kind of seeds did you plant?"
The two people who were working suddenly turned around and saw their young lady coming over, so they quickly stopped what they were doing.
"Miss, we've planted almost all the seeds we have here. We got these seeds from other families in the village. I didn't expect the villagers to be so easy to get along with."
“Yes, Miss, I thought that since there are three of us eating vegetables, we wouldn’t need that many. So I’d rather plant a variety of different kinds, and a little of each kind, so we won’t get tired of them. I’ve also planted some scallions, ginger, and garlic, so we won’t have to buy them anymore, which will save us some money.”
Although she wasn't short of money, she was still quite happy that Aoyagi and Haruyuki were trying to save her some.
“It’s already late, let’s do it tomorrow. I’m not the kind of demanding employer who will make you work day and night.”
"Yes, it's getting dark now. Qingliu, your cooking is better. Go and make dinner for Miss. Don't let her go hungry. I'll finish this and then go back."
Tang Baozhu didn't say much. Anyway, after spending more time together, the two of them would know what kind of person she was.
Qingliu glanced at the sky and nodded. If it got any later, the young lady would definitely be hungry. She quickly went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
"Qingliu, I'm still observing mourning, so I definitely can't eat meat or any other kind of animal for the next year. Just cook vegetables for me when you're cooking."
"Yes, Miss, I understand."
Qingliu was relieved that she and Chunxue had just arrived and were unfamiliar with everything, so they dared not touch the cured meat. That's why they hadn't made cured meat for their young lady, otherwise they would have been in big trouble.
It seems I need to be more careful in the future, and find out more about the host family's affairs so as not to offend them.
Tang Baozhu walked around in the yard for a while when she heard a knock on the door. She quickly opened the door and found that Li Jun had returned.
Outside the yard, there was a large bundle of vines with roots, covered in thorns. Turning around to take a closer look at Li Jun, I noticed many scratches and traces of blood on his neck and hands, clearly indicating that he had been injured by the thorns on the vines.
Since he got injured while working for me, I quickly called him in. "Brother Li, come in quickly. I have some ointment here. Let me put some on you so you can heal faster."
