Jiang Li slept deeply. When she opened her eyes the next morning, she found herself lying on the bed.

She stood up in confusion and saw Shen Changan wearing the clothes she helped change yesterday and busy in the kitchen.

Jiang Li smelled the fragrance of rice porridge, and the glutton in his stomach was aroused.

Jiang Li walked quietly behind Shen Changan, preparing to make a surprise attack on him.

Unexpectedly, the man turned around suddenly and held her in his arms.

"Xiao Li, are you awake?"

Jiang Li nodded gently. He slept too late yesterday and still has a headache.

"I fainted last night? Did you help me change my clothes?"

Jiang Li nodded again, with a strange blush on his face.

"I went to the toilet this morning and saw that my underwear had been changed. Did you do it yourself?"

Jiang Li didn't expect Shen Changan to ask such a straightforward question, and he was immediately at a loss.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips gently without saying a word, but her face uncontrollably turned red to the back of her ears.

When Shen Changan saw her like this, the smile on his face became brighter.

"I was just wondering why I slept so comfortably last night. It turned out to be my Xiaoli who helped me a lot. Thank you so much."

Shen Changan thanked him seriously, but Jiang Li was a little at a loss.

She nodded slightly, not knowing what to say, so she said nothing.

"Then you saw it last night, right?"

Shen Changan suddenly spoke. Jiang Li didn't react, so he asked reflexively.

"See what?"

Shen Changan looked down at his pants, and Jiang Li suddenly reacted.

She was already blushing a little, but now her whole face was even redder.

"See, see..."

Shen Changan stepped forward, hugged Jiang Li's neck, and kissed her heavily on the face.

The two joked around for a while, and then got back to the topic.

"The village was really poor, so I searched several restaurants before I found some noodles."

"Well, in such a remote mountain village, it's normal to be a little poor."

When it came to serious matters, Jiang Li's face became less red, and his voice became normal.

"I'm going down the mountain after breakfast later."

"Are you looking for someone from the Public Security Bureau? But it takes so long to go down the mountain. By the time you find someone from the Public Security Bureau, two days have passed."

Jiang Li frowned slightly, obviously worried.

What she fears most is that with so many people in the village not eating or drinking these days, the elderly and children are likely to starve to death.

She couldn't foresee the danger if they were released.

After all, she can't identify which people are good or bad, so it's easy for things to go wrong.

The most important thing is those women. They have been married to the village for many years. Although their lives may have been miserable before, some people are in love and even if they are hurt, they still speak for the perpetrators.

If she frees one of her own and bites her again in the end, the consequences will be serious.

Shen Changan left the village, which meant that she was the only one standing in the village now. If something unexpected happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't worry, there are so many cliffs in the village, there may be a shortcut. After we have breakfast, I will go find a few people to ask."

"There are always more ways than difficulties. Don't be discouraged by anything we encounter. To put it bluntly, even if those people don't eat or drink, they won't starve to death in a short time."

"The most I can do is make them suffer a little. If I delay too long, you can feed them some water midway to ensure they are still alive."

Shen Changan had already thought of a way, Jiang Li nodded and felt settled.

The two drank porridge, and Jiang Li cooked some noodles.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, they went to bring back the two chatterboxes who were imprisoned in the woods outside the village.

Those two people were pretty lucky. Although they were thrown outside like garbage, they didn't encounter wild beasts or poisonous snakes at night, so they barely survived.

When Shen Changan forcibly dragged the person back, the two of them were almost scared to death.

Jiang Li took off the cloth from their mouths, scooped a ladle of mountain spring water and placed it in front of them and asked.

"Is anyone thirsty and want a drink of water?"

The two of them didn't eat or drink all night, and they pooped and peed directly on their bodies.

Now that I see the sweet and refreshing mountain spring water, I can’t hold my breath anymore.

They nodded immodestly, and one of them kept licking the corners of his mouth, clearly telling them that he was thirsty.

Jiang Li saw that these demons naturally didn't have a good look on them, so he poured a ladle of water over them.

The two of them were caught off guard and were shocked, but they both opened their mouths in unison.

They licked the corners of their mouths desperately and struggled to eat the water flowing from their cheeks.

After drinking some water, their dry and cracked lips became somewhat hydrated.

"If you want to live, answer our questions honestly!"

Jiang Li threw the water ladle on the ground with a bang, and both of them were startled at the same time.

Now they didn't dare to have any ideas and nodded immediately.

"Is there any shortcut down the mountain in the village?"

Jiang Li asked straight to the point without any prelude.

"No, no."

One of them hesitated and replied. Jiang Li realized that he was lying, so he slapped him, then pointed at the other person and asked.

"He likes to lie. This question is not worthy of an answer. Now it's your turn."

"Miss, I just want to ask you, what is your purpose in asking this?"

"Don't worry about my purpose. I'm just going to ask you if you have one? Just answer yes or no. Do you still need me to teach you if it's so simple?"

Jiang Li said impatiently with a cold face, and the man shivered in fright.

Thinking of the two slaps my companion had received just now, I suddenly lost all thoughts.

"There is a ladder at the back of the mountain. If you go down quickly from there, it only takes two hours."

Jiang Li immediately became happy when he heard the answer. Seeing her so happy, the man couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on her.

"The ladder is made of ropes and is almost perpendicular to the entire mountain. It goes straight up and down. Most people will be frightened when they see the ladder, let alone going down the mountain."

"Take us over there!"

Shen Changan held his arm and said expressionlessly.

It was obvious that he was very happy in his heart and his whole body was filled with happiness, yet he could still keep a straight face without showing any emotion.

Shen Changan pushed him roughly from behind, and the man stumbled forward.

They came to the cliff of the back mountain, and sure enough they saw a ladder made of ropes behind several boulders.

The entire ladder is very narrow and can only be used by one person. Due to the sun and rain, the color of the rope looks a little dull.
