"Sister Mo, what are you looking at?"
Seeing Su Li looking at the other side of the river, A Xiu couldn't help but feel curious.
Su Li smiled and said perfunctorily: "Nothing..."
Ah Xiu suddenly stared at Su Li blankly.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Mo, you are so beautiful!"
Su Li was stunned and raised his hand to touch his face.
Two months later, the chickenpox on her face had disappeared and even the marks gradually faded.
She looked at Ying'er's mirror and saw that the original owner had fair skin and was very beautiful.
Therefore, in order to avoid being coveted by others in the mountains and causing trouble for herself, she has been deliberately covering her face with clothes and hair since the chickenpox marks began to fade.
Fortunately, many people had seen her face covered with chickenpox at the beginning. Seeing her like this, everyone thought she was embarrassed and was not surprised. No one looked at her seriously.
Especially Zhao Cai, who is obsessed with appearance, every time he comes to see Ying'er, he feels unlucky if he looks at her for even one more second.
Su Li was very happy about this. Fortunately, the weather was cold, so she wrapped herself tightly every day to keep warm.
She raised the corner of her mouth: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! She looks much better than Sister Ying'er. No, she looks even better than Sister Ying'er with makeup on, beautiful clothes, and a pretty bun!"
Su Li chuckled: "Don't let your sister Ying'er hear this."
Ah Xiu paused for a moment to react, and quickly covered her mouth and said, "I won't let her know!"
That’s right. Sister Ying’er always says that she is a mountain flower. If she knew this, she would be so angry that she would scold her.
"The clothes are done, let's go back."
"I've already washed up, let's go..."
As they talked, they walked up the mountain.
Just as the two were about to reach the kitchen, a carriage came from behind.
It was a very luxurious carriage. Su Li quickly asked, "A Xiu, whose carriage is that? Do you recognize it?"
Judging from the luxury of the carriage, the owner must be of extraordinary status, and it is impossible for a small leader like Zhao Cai in the mountains to have such a thing.
Could it be that the person she was waiting for had arrived?
"Oh, you mean the carriage? I don't know who owns it, but I do know that it comes every three months and stays for two days before leaving."
A Xiu is very sensitive to the concept of time. She remembers clearly everything related to time, especially those with regular patterns.
This is also one of Su Li's great strengths that he discovered after spending so much time with her.
Su Li seemed to be lost in thought.
Come once every three months, stay for two days each time...
She had to find out the identity of the person in the carriage.
"Look at that carriage. The people inside must be very important. They shouldn't need to be checked when entering or leaving, right?"
Ah Xiu hesitated and shook her head: "I didn't notice that..."
In other words, she usually saw this carriage on the mountain, but she had no idea whether it was checked when it came or left.
Well, it seems that Su Li has to go and check it out herself...
At night, Su Li and his friends finished their work and returned to the house. As usual, they washed up and turned off the lights and went to bed.
The cold wind was howling outside, but the house was quiet. Occasionally, I could hear the shallow breathing of A Xiu and others who were sleeping beside me.
Su Li kept his eyes open until late at night, and only got up quietly after everyone in the room fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, she heard hurried footsteps outside.
She was startled and quickly lay down and pretended to sleep.
As the footsteps got closer, a series of rapid knocks on the door rang out: "Auntie Sang! Get up! Auntie Sang! Get up! Auntie Sang!"
Aunt Sang and the others were woken up, and Su Li pretended to wake up soon after.
“Here it comes!”
Aunt Sang responded, quickly got up, put on her clothes, and went to open the door: "Isn't this Xiaoliu? It's the middle of the night, what's going on?"
Zhao Xiaoliu didn't come in, but just said outside the door: "Half an hour ago, a part of the mine collapsed, and more than twenty slaves were trapped inside. Even Manager Li was trapped inside..."
"What!" Aunt Sang was shocked. The mine collapsed, which was a fatal thing.
Zhao Xiaoliu hurriedly said, "They're rescuing people in the cave. They've already carried out several slaves, and they're seriously injured. Master Cai asked me to come and inform you to go over and help take care of the rescued people..."
Aunt Sang quickly responded, "Okay, okay! We'll go right away!"
After saying this, Zhao Xiaoliu left in a hurry.
Ah Xiu looked puzzled: "Auntie Sang, the mine was fine, how could it collapse?"
"I don't know either……"
Ying'er was terrified: "So many people are trapped, this is too scary!"
"Alright, stop talking so much. Hurry up and go up and help..."
“Okay, okay!”
Without any delay, they put on their clothes and headed towards the mine on the mountain.
When passing by the kitchen, Su Li turned into the house, took a few green vegetables, rubbed them in his hands to extract the juice, and then applied the yellow and green juice unevenly on his face.
He applied another layer on the back of his hand. Seeing the yellow and blue color on the back of his hand, which looked as if his skin color was uneven due to the sun, and it looked very ugly, he felt relieved and left the kitchen and continued walking up the mountain.
When they caught up with Aunt Sang and the others, Ah Xiu whispered to her, "Sister Mo, where did you go just now? How come you disappeared all of a sudden?"
Although she was holding a lamp on the road, it was dark at night and Su Li was covered tightly, so Ah Xiu didn't notice anything unusual on Su Li's face.
Su Li just said: "I'm thirsty, I'm going to the kitchen to drink some water."
"Oh, you should have told me earlier. I have some fruit on me."
"Fruit?" Su Li was surprised. "Why do you carry fruit with you?"
Ah Xiu scratched her head embarrassedly: "I was afraid of getting thirsty, so I put a few on my body when I went out..."
Su Li was amused, thinking she was sleeping with Guozi: "You are quite quick then."
Just now in the house, she was the first one to go out, but she didn't notice that she was putting fruit into her clothes.
"Hey, come find me when you're thirsty later."
"OK……"
