Chapter 32 The clue is close at hand
Su Mi, who was alone, was meditating cross-legged in the house. Widow Chai saw it from outside the door, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she quietly left the house.

Su Mi didn't care about Widow Chai's actions and continued to practice.

An hour later, Su Mi felt a little thirsty and came out to find some water to drink.

But there is no hot water in the house, so Su Mi walked around the kitchen and only found some well water.

It was getting dark, and Widow Chai hadn't come back so far, so Su Mi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

The area of ​​Tomato Village is small, and Widow Chai may have chatted with someone somewhere, so Su Mi comforted herself.

Since Su Mi broke through the golden core stage, she felt that her body's need for whole grains has decreased, and most of the time, she only needs to eat one meal a day.

So even if Widow Chai didn't cook, it didn't matter to her.

But the strange thing is that Su Mi has been waiting at Widow Chai's house for another hour, but there is still no one, which is really strange.

All households in the small village should have already rested. It is really against the common sense that Widow Chai has not come back at this time.

Su Mi couldn't wait any longer and went out to search.

With the bright moon in the sky, the entire small mountain village was silent, and Qi Hui and others who had gone up the mountain to look for clues before did not appear.

Su Mi went back to Widow Chai's house, found a torch, and searched from house to house in the village.

But after walking around, Su Mi didn't even see the shadow of Widow Chai, and Su Mi gradually had a bad feeling in his heart.

Su Mi held a torch and walked towards the back mountain. Others might have a way to find Widow Chai.

Before reaching the back mountain, Su Mi saw a few people coming down from the mountain head-on. Their faces were solemn, and none of them said a word.

"What's wrong?" The behavior of these people was too abnormal, Su Mi couldn't help asking.

Facing the question from the younger junior sister, Qi Hui still wanted to hide it, "Today is too late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

However, Su Mi couldn't hear Qi Hui's perfunctory words, and said, "Brother, we are in the same team, I have the right to know."

Qi Hui was taken aback for a moment, the little junior sister's body hadn't recovered yet, so she knew what to do.

"Actually, it's nothing," Nie Jiaojiao said, "I just found some herbs. There must be magic cultivators in Tomato Village."

Su Mi was taken aback for a long time, this was the first time she had heard of the Su family's accidental magic cultivator.

In fact, there are many cultivation methods of magic cultivators, but most of them are insidious. Improving cultivation in a short period of time may not be able to withstand the practitioner's body, so a lot of auxiliary pills are needed.

The reason why Qi Hui and others were so sure was because they found the waste residue of refining medicine on the mountain.

"Junior Sister, why did you run out alone at night?" Qi Hui asked concerned.

Su Mi had no choice but to tell about Widow Chai's failure to return home.

After listening, Qi Hui also frowned, "The village is not big, where can she go?"

With doubts, several people sent Su Mi back to Widow Chai's house.

But from far away, Wei Lun saw the lights on in Widow Chai's house, which was completely different from what Su Mi said.

Nie Jiaojiao sarcastically said, "Isn't you at home?"

She felt that Su Mi was just looking for an excuse to meet Qi Hui. Widow Chai was a woman, so how could she be running around outside.

However, Qi Hui and the others didn't think that Su Mi was deceiving on purpose. Now that Widow Chai is at home, they don't have to worry about it.

As soon as Su Mi stepped into the door, she asked about Widow Chai's absence just now. Widow Chai smiled, "I'm sorry, girl, I chatted with my sister for a while."

Nie Jiaojiao snorted coldly, and she knew that Su Mi was looking for reasons indiscriminately. Widow Chai had left her relatives, making it seem like everyone was missing.

Although it was a false alarm, Su Mi always felt uneasy.

Nie Jiaojiao said, "I'm exhausted from running all day today, Auntie, can you boil some water for us, I want to take a bath."

Widow Chai was very talkative, she nodded quickly and said, "Girl, wait, I'll go and burn it for you."

Su Mi felt uncomfortable when Widow Chai called Miss Nie Jiaojiao. Nie Jiaojiao just looked young on the surface, but she was ten years older than Widow Chai. She really thought of herself as a little girl.

The bath water was boiled quickly, Nie Jiaojiao went back to the room to take a bath first, Su Mi could only wait outside temporarily.

"Girl, if you are sleepy, you can sleep in my room." Widow Chai suggested.

Su Mi smiled and shook her head. She was actually not sleepy at all. After practicing Jinghuashuiyue, her body's resilience became stronger and stronger. Even if she didn't sleep for a few days and nights, she would be fine.

The two chatted casually, and when Widow Chai was falling asleep, Nie Jiaojiao finally finished washing.

Now, Su Mi was able to go back to her room to rest.

Although Nie Jiaojiao is arrogant, she is not hopeless. She said, "I put the basin in the yard for you. Where is the kitchen? I want to boil hot water for drinking."

Widow Chai hurriedly led Nie Jiaojiao to the kitchen, where Su Mi was already sleeping.

The next day.

Several people got together, Qi Hui thought that the occurrence of demonic cultivators in the village was an extremely serious matter, and they could not leave unless this disaster was eliminated.

Wei Lun and Chao Yushu also had the same opinion, but Nie Jiaojiao's reaction was a bit wrong.

"Junior Sister Nie, do you know something?" Chao Yushu asked curiously.

Nie Jiaojiao seemed a little hesitant, but she still said after Chao Yushu's questioning, "I smelled acacia in Widow Chai's kitchen yesterday."

The Qianmacao that Nie Jiaojiao was talking about was one of the herbs commonly used by demon cultivators, but with this meager evidence, it couldn't really prove anything.

"Junior Sister, did you find anything?" Chao Yushu turned his gaze to Su Mi.

Su Mi doesn't know much about all kinds of plants, not to mention the smell and shape. She has devoted herself to swordsmanship all these years, and she doesn't know anything about alchemy, drawing symbols, beast control, etc.

"Go and have a look first." Qi Hui said.

Everyone came to Widow Chai's house, but it was strange that Widow Chai was not at home.

She was too elusive by herself, and everyone felt that there was something wrong in their hearts.

In the kitchen, Qi Hui smelled it intently, "It really smells like a thousand hemp grass."

Wei Lun walked around the kitchen several times, and suddenly stopped in one place, then moved away to push away the straw and soil on the ground.

At first, everyone didn't understand his intention, but soon, under Weilun's cleaning, a small cover appeared on the ground.

Wei Lun opened the lid, and the smell of Qianmacao rushed to his face, quite strong.

If it was just doubts just now, it can be said to be true now, it is impossible for ordinary people to recognize Qian Macao, let alone hoard Qian Macao.

Widow Chai is an ordinary person who accumulates these things for no reason. There must be some ulterior purpose. Maybe the magic cultivator that appeared in the village has something to do with Widow Chai.

Just as everyone gathered in the kitchen, a voice suddenly sounded——

"You guys are..." Widow Chai's expression changed drastically when she saw the hemp grass in Chao Yushu's hand, and hurried forward to grab it.

But she, an ordinary person who has not received any training, is no match for an immortal cultivator, and she was completely in vain.
