When she went back and told Li Nanshan about this, Tao Xiaoxi originally thought that this guy would definitely act like a good husband from the 1980s and scold her for being too careless, too careless, and too presumptuous.
Unexpectedly, this guy's focus was not on the penalty for breach of contract, but on where the goods were lost.
"Do you still want to go back and look for her?" Tao Xiaoxi asked casually.
Li Nanshan stood with his hands behind his back. This scene reminded Tao Xiaoxi of his father. Tao Xiaoxi couldn't bear to watch it, but his next words revived her.
"Look, it hasn't rained much lately. Your herbs might have rolled into the bushes and been mistaken for dead wood by those idiots, so they didn't get picked up in the truck. Maybe they're still there?"
"Is this possible?" Tao Xiaoxi's eyes lit up.
"But there is another possibility." Li Nanshan paced a few more steps, thinking.
"Just speak, don't ventriloquize." Tao Xiaoxi urged.
"It's also possible that some common people found it, picked it up, and burned it as firewood."
"Ah, this," Tao Xiaoxi's heart was gripped tightly. If that was the case, she would rather throw it away.
"But let's go back and look for it, just in case it's still there."
"But Shang Qingyan doesn't give us much time." Tao Xiaoxi is in a mess now, especially when she is in front of Li Nanshan, her emotions take over and her IQ automatically reduces by half.
"Then we'll split up into two groups. Let Zhao Bin go first to stabilize Shang Qingyan, and we'll go find the goods."
"We?" Tao Xiaoxi questioned.
"Who else? Who else do you want to be with?" Li Nanshan looked at her and smiled, feeling a bit sour and spicy.
"No, no, we are fine." Tao Xiaoxi finally smiled.
Li Nanshan got to work right away. He found a map on the spot and drew a route with a pencil and drawing paper.
Tao Xiaoxi didn't dare to disturb him at all. Li Nanshan was so charming with his lips pursed and brows furrowed. He drew a car and a mountain with a pencil in his hand. His whole body exuded a temperament full of masculine hormones. If it wasn't for the fact that the matter was too serious and grave, Tao Xiaoxi really wanted to pounce on him on the spot. This was the dopamine that fascinated her.
The next day, they and Zhao Bin set off on their own journeys. Beibei was entrusted to the eldest sister-in-law, but actually to the mother-in-law, because the eldest sister-in-law's belly was really too big.
Zhao Bin was most nervous along the way. When they split into two groups at Si'an, Zhao Bin said that if they couldn't find the problem, they should return the same way and not go to Shang Qingyan's place in Bozhou. It would not be a good thing to get scolded by more people. He showed a heroic spirit of self-sacrifice and taking the responsibility alone.
Tao Xiaoxi immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, whether we find you or not, we will come to meet you. We are a team and we will face difficulties together."
Li Nanshan and Zhao Bin were both a little confused about the new word "team", but they thought it should be a good word, so they didn't care much about it.
After separating from Zhao Bin, Li Nanshan took his wife to the place where the truck overturned according to the pre-arranged plan, while Zhao Bin continued to go south to discuss Qingyan.
However, because the area was sparsely populated and there was no direct bus, Li Nanshan set his sights on the old cow in a farmer's house on the roadside.
"Let's hire an ox cart. If the goods are still there, we can use the cart to pull some of them back." Li Nanshan suggested.
"I'll listen to you." Tao Xiaoxi had completely given up using her brain on this trip. Li Nanshan's plan was too detailed, and she didn't need to use her brain at all.
So the couple got off the train and changed to an ox cart. It was Tao Xiaoxi's first time riding on this thing, and she felt both curious and excited.
Li Nanshan was a skilled herder, leaving the old farmer alone. Tao Xiaoxi and he had little in common, so the two of them sat awkwardly on the cart. The roadside scenery was beautiful, with rolling green hills and swaying rice paddies. The less crowded the area, the more numerous the unknown wildflowers. From time to time, a few Anhui-style tiled houses appeared on the roadside, representing scattered villages, and the air of ancient simplicity washed over them.
If it weren't for the important mission on this trip, Tao Xiaoxi really wanted to lie on the ox cart, under the blue sky, with a piece of grass in his mouth, watching the clouds run, the wind chase, and the flowers smile.
She didn't know how much time had passed, or how far she had walked. The beautiful scenery continued, frame after frame, the clouds shifting again and again. Tao Xiaoxi fell asleep, rocking back and forth on the oxcart. She was startled awake by the dull mooing of the cows. She opened her eyes to a vast expanse of bushes stretching as far as the eye could see.
He jumped up and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Aren't you awake?" Li Nanshan said with a doting look, "Look, it should be here."
The bushes stretched for hundreds of miles, so it was not easy to find the car. The main reason was that the location of the overturned car was not very specific and could not be located.
Seeing how hard the couple was searching and feeling bored waiting on the side, the old farmer took the initiative to join the search team.
After learning that they were looking for medicinal herbs, the old farmer said, "Not many people usually come here, but many scavengers come here. It depends on whether they have picked up the herbs."
Tao Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Li Nanshan held her hand tightly and continued walking forward.
On the other side, Zhao Bin arrived in Bozhou and went to see Shang Qingyan. Shang Qingyan didn't see Tao Xiaoxi, and his face became even darker.
"She originally came with me, but she got off the bus at Si'an," Zhao Bin explained.
"What are you going to Si'an for?" Shang Qingyan crossed his hands, leaned back in his chair, half-drooped his eyelids, and a gleam in his eyes.
Zhao Bin sat up straight for no apparent reason and replied, "Go find the medicine. She wants to get that batch of goods back."
"Oh, what an overconfident woman." Shang Qingyan disagreed, "Then wait and talk to her when she comes back."
