It was not until they had walked for a while and found the rope and hoe that Xiao Li had taken away on the ground that they realized that Xiao Li might have been in trouble.

Liu Cui couldn't hold on and fainted immediately. He Hua was shocked and scared. She was worried that something would suddenly jump out and drag her away. She was also worried about Xiao Li's situation. In the end, she still managed to drag Liu Cui back home.

After that, Old Zhao could hear clearly the quarrels and crying that happened in the yard.

However, because Xiao Li's body was never found, and Xiao Li originally wanted to kill Jiang Chuyue, He Hua and Liu Cui remained silent until they knew that Jiang Chuyue had returned.

Only then did they completely give up hope and realized that something must have happened to Xiao Li.

She cried all night at home yesterday, which is why Old Zhao knew that it was Xiao Li who was in trouble. Liu Cui blamed all the responsibility on He Hua and got very angry.

She even wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Chuyue, but was suppressed by He Hua. Now that the family has lost its pillar, the family's only source of food depends on Jiang Chuyue. Even the herbs that He Hua picked in the mountains and planted in the fields have to pass through Jiang Chuyue's hands.

If they offended Jiang Chuyue at this time, life would become even more difficult for them as an orphan and a widow.

More importantly, Xiao Li originally went there with the intention of killing Jiang Chuyue. If they really asked about it, they would be in the wrong after all.

Jiang Chuyue was not curious about He Hua and Liu Cui's little tricks. She glanced at Lao Zhao and said, "Uncle Zhao, are you serious?"

"Really? Uncle Zhao, could he really lie to you?" Old Zhao said this with great confidence. Most of the people present believed it, but they just didn't understand why He Hua and Liu Cui had been covering up this matter.

"But I also find it strange why they don't say anything." After Lao Zhao said this, the people present began to wonder.

"In two days, it will be clear whether or not to hold a funeral." Jiang Chuyue was too lazy to spend too much time and energy on this matter, so she asked everyone to get the herbs.

But suddenly someone was dragged away by a pack of wolves, and now there is still no trace of the body. The second branch of the Xiao family is still holding back on the case. All these things are really strange, and naturally aroused more people's curiosity and discussion.

"Sister Jiang, aren't you curious?" Aunt Wang couldn't help but ask while picking up the herbs.

"I'm a little curious, but you also know the relationship between us and the second house. If we ask too much, we don't know what the second house will think." Jiang Chuyue gave a seemingly plausible answer, leading everyone to think about the conflict between the first and second houses.

In this case, it is normal for Jiang Chuyue not to interfere too much in the affairs of the second house.

"But there are wolves on the mountain, so we still have to be careful. The weather is cold, and the wolves may have run out of food, so they come down the mountain to find food." The topic gradually shifted. If there really were a pack of wolves lingering around Wanshan Village, it would be scary to think about it.

If the wolves are extremely hungry and enter the village, it will be a disaster.

"We have to be careful recently. Don't let the wolves take away our chickens, ducks, etc."

The people in Wanshan Village already live a tight life. They usually don't want to eat the chickens and ducks they raise, not to mention that the chickens and ducks they raise now are bought with the money they earn from selling medicinal herbs.

If they were taken away and eaten by wolves before they even grow up, I'm afraid everyone would be heartbroken.

Jiang Chuyue also chimed in, "Yes, everyone should keep an eye on the children and the chickens and ducks at home recently. The wolves have come down the mountain, so we have to be careful."

But I thought to myself: With the existence of wolves, if Shen Rong asked every household to keep a dog, no one would refuse.

After finally finishing the task of distributing the herbs, Jiang Chuyue hurriedly opened the note that Aunt Zhang had stuffed into her hand. Looking at the contents on the note that looked like a diary, she knew that the man in black must be trying to test whether Xiao Yihao was there.

He directly shook Xiao Yihao in the space over. Xiao Yihao read the note for a long time before speaking, "His master wants to meet me. The appointment is on the second day after the New Year, at Zui Xiang Ju in the county."

Zui Xiang Ju is the largest restaurant in the county. Jiang Chuyue held the note in her hand and asked, "Do you want to see me?"

If they meet, it is unknown what the situation will be. The people from Wenling Pavilion clearly want to kill Xiao Yihao, but after failing repeatedly, they asked to meet Xiao Yihao. No one can figure out what their purpose is.

"Yes, why not?" Xiao Yihao replied quickly. His identity has not been figured out yet. Even though he knew that this trip was very risky, Xiao Yihao was willing to take the risk in order to find out his identity.

"In that case, I'll go with you then." Jiang Chuyue threw the note into Xiao Yihao's hand in the space. Xiao Yihao did not reject Jiang Chuyue's proposal.

"Tell me, why did they make the appointment after the New Year is over?"

It is now the fourth day of the New Year and there are only ten days left until the New Year.

"Of course their master hasn't arrived yet." Xiao Yihao's answer made Jiang Chuyue silent for a long time. Since she came to this world, she had never set foot outside the county and almost forgot that this was a world with slow transportation.

"You should make preparations in advance in the next few days. It is still unclear whether the person coming is a friend or an enemy. Although there is space, it would not be appropriate if it is exposed so early." Space is Jiang Chuyue's trump card, and now it is also Xiao Yihao's trump card.

Revealing the trump card so soon was really not what Jiang Chuyue wanted to see.

"Of course." Xiao Yihao thought so too. After the two hit it off, in order to prepare for the upcoming meeting ten days later, Jiang Chuyue pulled Xiao Yihao to intensify the rehabilitation of his leg muscles.

Although Xiao Yihao can now walk almost like a normal person, he still can't do it when it comes to physical exercise. For this reason, Jiang Chuyue reluctantly used a lot of special medicines to speed up Xiao Yihao's leg recovery.

For this reason, Xiao Yihao undergoes intensive rehabilitation every day. Although they know that high-intensity rehabilitation may make the subsequent recovery of their legs worse, the two of them cannot care less.

While busy with Xiao Yihao's rehabilitation, Jiang Chuyue also did not forget to pay attention to the movements in the village.

Because of the existence of the wolf pack, when Shen Rong discussed raising dogs with everyone, it went very smoothly. There were dozens of dogs in Wanshan Village, and almost every household raised one.

Jiang Chuyue made a special trip to Shen Rong's home and gave him some money.

"How can I take your money!" Shen Rong quickly refused.

"Just accept it. Consider this money as my gift to everyone. I think you, the village chief, have put a lot of thought into getting so many dogs. Just accept this money."

After Jiang Chuyue said so, Shen Rong reluctantly accepted it.
