The two stood in the dark, craning their necks toward the mountains, hoping to get some useful information.

After watching for about five minutes and not noticing anything unusual and hearing no explosions, the village chief brought his wife into the house.

When the two turned around, neither of them noticed that Lin Xi appeared in the darkness, and returned to the Youth League Home in the biting cold wind.

"Open the door...it's me..." Lin Xi knocked on the door twice and said in a low voice.

"You're finally back. You don't know how worried I was about you." Chu Ran heard the familiar voice, quickly opened the door, and pulled her back into the house.

"I'm fine. No one came to see me this afternoon, right?" Lin Xi wanted to know if anything happened after he went out so that he could deal with it!

"Gu Tingxiao did come here in the afternoon, but I told him you were dizzy and sleeping, so I sent him away. The other educated youth also knew about this." Chu Ran told Lin Xi everything that happened in the afternoon in detail, fearing that she would let the cat out of the bag in front of others.

"Okay, I get it. You can just sleep here for tonight. It's not good to disturb others if you go back." Lin Xi nodded to indicate that he understood and wanted to keep her here to sleep with him.

"Okay, I'm willing to sleep with you a thousand times." Chu Ran hugged Lin Xi's arm affectionately.

After the two of them sat down and ate some snacks, they lay down on the bed to sleep. After Chu Ran fell asleep, Lin Xi flashed into the space, fed Mo Zi, and finally washed up briefly before leaving the space.

After sleeping until dawn, Lin Xi and Chu Ran were on their way to work. What they heard most was the villagers talking about the explosion on the mountain last night. Everyone was expressing their own opinions.

Gu Tingxiao had been waiting anxiously not far away. When he saw Lin Xi, he immediately ran over and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry, I'm fine." Although Lin Xi really wanted to tell him that she was fine and had gone to do a "big thing", she thought about it and decided to give up. It is better to have less trouble than more.

"That's good! Why don't you take a day off today and have a good rest instead of going to work." Gu Tingxiao made a suggestion, not wanting her to suffer.

"No need. It's not strenuous work. I promise not to get too tired." Lin Xi didn't think of taking a leave from work. She wasn't really sick, so there was no need to take a leave.

"Then you have to be careful. If you feel even a little uncomfortable, go back and lie down to rest immediately." Gu Tingxiao was still a little worried and reminded him again.

"Got it, let's go quickly! The village chief is calling us."

The village chief was already speaking with a loudspeaker, "I have something to tell you today. I believe you all heard the noise last night, so don't go up the mountain alone in the near future. Whether you are digging wild vegetables or collecting firewood, it's best to have a companion. And don't sneak into the mountains. If you go there on your own, you will be responsible for anything that happens." The village chief had a serious face and spoke righteously, for fear that they would not take his words to heart.

Lin Xi didn't expect that his "feat" yesterday would cause such trouble. He could only say that everything was God's will. It would be better not to go, so that no one would discover the cave.

"I understand, village chief." The villagers responded enthusiastically. How could they dare to go? Are they trying to kill themselves?

"It's good to know. Remember what I said today. Whoever disobeys my advice and goes secretly will bear the consequences himself." The village chief looked carefully at the families in the village who liked to go hunting in the mountains. Don't think that he doesn't know what they are doing. It's just that these days are not easy for anyone. He just turns a blind eye.

The families mentioned by the village chief all lowered their heads, but I don’t know if they listened or not!

The village chief then talked about some things in the fields and told the villagers to do what they needed to do. Lin Xi and Chu Ran also went up the mountain with the tools for cutting grass for pigs.

In order not to appear out of place, Lin Xi did not take Chu Ran into the mountains, but started to collect grass for the pigs bit by bit just after they reached the top of the mountain.

"Xixi, are we really not going to go see the white tiger?" Chu Ran was worried that the gluttonous tiger would be waiting for them at the same place as yesterday.

"No, I won't go in the next few days." Although she knew what was going on in the mountains, the village chief had just issued a clear ban on entering the mountains, and she couldn't be the first person to break the rules.

"Okay!" To be honest, Chu Ran felt a little disappointed. Maybe it was because she felt that the white tiger was a foodie like her!

So the two of them spent the whole morning collecting grass for pigs in this place, and barely collected enough for the day.

Unlike the ease of the past, even Lin Xi, who had supernatural powers, felt a little tired, not to mention Miss Jiaojiao Chu Ran.

"Xixi, my waist is about to break. It's over. I can't get up." Chu Ran bent over, with the backpack on her back pressing down, making it impossible for her to get up.

"Then you wait here. I'll send these over first and then come back to pick you up."

Although Lin Xi really wanted to take them all at once, she seemed a little overwhelmed and had no choice but to ask her to wait.

"I'd better follow you!" Chu Ran gritted her teeth and stood up. She saw that Lin Xi's condition seemed not as good as before.

"Then go slower..." Lin Xi knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he could only let her do what she wanted.

The two were about to go back when Gu Tingxiao's voice came over, "Xiao Xi, let me help you." After saying that, without waiting for Lin Xi to answer, he put on the backpack on her back and took what was in his hand.

"How come you have time to come here? Didn't you go to work?" Lin Xi felt relaxed instantly and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I'll come over when I'm done with my work." Could he say that he was worried about her, and so he worked really hard and came over as soon as he finished?

Lin Xi also knew that in this day and age, as long as you finish your own work, no one else will interfere too much, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard, it's my duty." Gu Tingxiao was reluctant to let Lin Xi suffer, but he didn't have much ability, so he could only put in a little more effort in this regard.

"Let me do it!" Lin Xi turned her head to Chu Ran behind her, grabbed the strap of her backpack, and wanted to take the backpack and carry it herself.

"No, I can do it." Chu Ran refused to let go. She had to grow up as quickly as possible. She was no longer the rich second generation before the end of the world.

"Then be careful and don't fall." Seeing that she was so stubborn, Lin Xi didn't force her anymore. Instead, he walked side by side with her and looked at Chu Ran from time to time, fearing that she would fall.

Chu Ran: Thank you so much! You don’t wish me well.

Lin Xi: I just care about you!

Gu Tingxiao: That’s right, my wife just cares about you.

"I'll pay attention."

The three of them walked and stopped like this, and then handed in the pig feed amid Chu Ran's sighs.
