After greeting each other, the five elders led the villagers back to the village with the old patriarch in their arms. The remaining Zhou stood in place and reached out to them in a gesture of 'please': "You two are newcomers, let me come Let me lead the way for you."

Bai Zhi glanced at the villagers who left, smiled silently, and thought to herself that she was like an army of grass and trees. At that moment, she always felt that these villagers were not here to welcome the old patriarch, but to welcome her.

Now that I think about it, there is really no reason, maybe I think too much.

She looked at Zhou □, who was neither humble nor overbearing. When meeting for the first time, this neither cold nor warm way made people feel comfortable.

"Miss Lao Zhou is here."

Zhou □ glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "Young Master Bai, you don't need to thank me, this is my job, is this Mrs. Bai?"

The sound of 'Bai Gongzi' made Bai Zhi feel a little astonished, and what happened next was even more astonishing.

"Exactly. I don't know Miss Zhou's age. We are destined to meet each other. You and I can be called sisters." Wei Ziwan smiled gracefully, as if meeting someone who hit it off, very happy.

Zhou □ raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a modest tone, "Twenty-two this year."

"My family is celebrating Double Ten this year, and I've seen Sister Zhou."

"Sister Ziwan is too polite."

The two smiled unabated, as if they hit it off, but in the blink of an eye, they talked about sister Zhou and sister Ziwan, and they seemed to be getting closer.

Zhou □ walked in front of the side, occasionally explaining a few words, introducing some situations in the village.

Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan walked side by side, while listening to Zhou □'s words, they looked around attentively.

This village is very small, it seems that there are only dozens of families, and the houses are also very dilapidated. It looks like a remote village.

Even though it is so close to the capital city, it still hides at the foot of Qingshi Mountain, far away from the official road. The mountain road to the village is narrow and muddy, and even the fields are not fertile. It seems that life is not easy.

But after meeting some villagers in the village one after another, Bai Zhi dispelled the thoughts in her heart. The villagers here are all rosy, well-dressed, and look like they are not short of food and clothing. successful people.

Although there was such a strange sense of disobedience in her heart, she felt much more at ease when she saw no one with a similar face to her along the way, and there should be no such coincidences.

Lingjue Villa is an exception. As for the Song Family Village, they come here and settle down.

She is just an outsider who pretends to be a fake. She works in a low-key manner and behaves in a low-key manner. She should be able to live in peace. Let's see the situation first.

Wei Ziwan at the side was not as engrossed as Matsushita. Like Bai Zhi, she was also carefully observing everything in the village.

After seeing another middle-aged man smiling and saying hello and leaving, she looked back at the man's back, couldn't help frowning, and then quickly relaxed it.

After Zhou □ led them through the village, they stopped outside a yard: "This is the yard prepared for you. The current situation in the village is almost like this. If you want to know the people in the village, you only need to go to five people. The elders are good, they are the real powers in this village, the old patriarch has long been the shopkeeper, and now he only cares about the Buddha and ignores the affairs."

She seemed to have no scruples, and she seemed to have ulterior motives, so she left after speaking.

"Is she demonstrating against us?" Bai Zhi was a little confused, so, thinking of the two people's current competitive relationship, and thinking about the attitude of the old patriarch, she couldn't help but think too much.

Maybe this Zhou □ is just easy to get along with on the surface, otherwise why did he say the specious words just now, as if warning them that it is useless to be loved by the old patriarch.

Wei Ziwan looked deeply at Zhou □'s back, and said lightly: "Perhaps it can also be understood as a reminder to us."

"Remind us?" Bai Zhi was puzzled.

Wei Ziwan reached out and grabbed Bai Zhi's sleeve, and said as she entered the yard: "Remind us that if we want to stand firm, the most important thing is to get the approval of the five elders, not just relying on the love of the old patriarch alone. gone."

She didn't know what to say, maybe she was too sensitive, but those similarities made people unable to ignore them.

So do you want to tell the person in front of you what you discovered?

After hearing Wei Ziwan's words, Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "You mean she has good intentions? Wan Wan, people are not judged by appearances. Some people seem easy to get along with, but in fact..."

"Actually, he might be a villain with evil intentions, right?" Wei Ziwan answered half of the sentence with a smile.

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, that's what she wanted to say.

It's just the first meeting, Wan Wan seems to have gotten acquainted with this Miss Zhou too quickly, and within a few words, she is called a sister, and she thinks that the other party's words are a kind reminder.

Although Bai Zhi knew that she shouldn't use maliciousness to speculate on others for no reason, Wei Ziwan had never treated others like this before, and had never shown her kindness before.

This feeling was very strange. When she saw Wei Ziwan and Zhou □ looking at each other and smiling, she felt very depressed.

He even didn't like Zhou □, so he preconceived that those words were a warning to them.

But Wanwan felt that Miss Zhou was a kind reminder.

This recognition made Bai Zhi even more depressed.

Guarding against others is indispensable, how can this woman let go of her guard against others so easily.

They just escaped from Lingjue Villa, so they should be more careful.

Mingming reminded her to be careful last night, but what happened now.

Isn’t it that Zhou□ looks okay?It is only the good-looking women who should be on guard.

There are not many people who are as reliable as myself. In the previous life, Wei Ziwan was implicated, but in this life, she can ignore the past, and even be tempted ------.

Bai Zhi's face froze, her lips pursed even tighter, and her expression was in a trance for a moment.

Seeing her silence, Wei Ziwan knew that she was right, and immediately explained: "I didn't let my guard down, I just wanted to numb them. Don't you think this place is strange?" It was as strange as Lingjue Villa.

She felt that it would be better to tell the person in front of her guess about her guess. Although it was a bit shocking to say it, it was better than what she was worried about coming true. That would be a real shock.

"What's so strange?" Bai Zhi came back to her senses, tried to keep a calm face, and forcibly suppressed her chaotic thoughts.

In fact, she also felt a strange sense of disobedience, which was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange.

Wei Ziwan said softly: "Before at Lingjue Villa, I found that some servants are not like ordinary people. When they walk, their steps are very steady, their backs are straight, and their overall movements are coordinated. If one person is like this, that's all. Most of the boys here are like this, just like the few middle-aged men we met just now."

Regardless of those old people, women and children, she can be sure that at least those middle-aged men are not villagers, or ordinary villagers.

She has seen people with this walking posture before. Those soldiers who escorted her from the West Island all the way to Baiyue to get married all walked in this way. Yes, they were well-trained soldiers.

Bai Zhi's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say anything: "You mean they are soldiers—then let's—"

Wei Ziwan nodded slowly, although the words were not complete, both of them knew it well.

They just escaped from the wolf's den, and they may have entered the tiger's mouth again.

The two looked at each other in silence, speechless for a long time.

"Maybe we're thinking too much. Maybe Manager Xi... Maybe it's just a coincidence." Bai Zhi glanced at the thatched courtyard wall that was only half a person tall, and people outside could see them standing in the courtyard without having to come in.

Maybe I didn't think much about it.

Wei Ziwan followed her gaze, and then silently retracted her gaze: "Go into the room, and you'll know soon after you think about it."

Just like in Lingjue Mountain Villa, they survived the disaster at first, and because of Baishu's uncle's status, they were careless.

Perhaps from the very beginning, from the first time he left the gate of Lingjue Villa, someone was watching from behind.

And if this so-called Song Family Village has some ulterior purpose like Lingjue Villa, it would be very easy to test the depth of it, and you will know if you find an opportunity to go out in a few days.

Bai Zhi nodded slightly and followed into the room.

The furniture in the room is very new, it can be said that everything is available, and there are even two stoves, so as soon as you enter the door, you can feel an obvious warmth.

Bai Zhi's face looked better: "No matter how deep or shallow the water is, they seem to value me very much."

Just like in Lingjue Mountain Villa, in terms of food and clothing, they are not treated harshly, and it can even be said to be treated favorably.

Wei Ziwan glanced at her: "Husband thinks this is a good thing?"

Why are you so proud.

Bai Zhi coughed lightly, and said in a calm manner: "If we don't go against our wishes, we can negotiate with each other and treat each other honestly, we may not be unable to participate in what they are seeking."

Her words were a bit bold, maybe the closed door gave people a sense of security, maybe it was the newly understood intention that made people panic, she suddenly felt that she should do something.

Is it just a life of wandering like this?

It's fine if I'm alone, but now...

He seems to be alone now, but...but the woman in front of him doesn't seem to reject living with her.

Thinking of all the things that happened between the two of them, Bai Zhi looked eagerly at Wei Ziwan in her eyes.

As if you only need to lift a thin layer of gauze to get some treasure in the world, just lift a layer of gauze---

"If what they're after is outrageous, it's okay to discuss it with you, we..." Wei Ziwan's voice paused, and she couldn't help but silence Bai Zhi's overly hot gaze.

The heat in those eyes seemed to be scalding, and her heart tightened, and her breathing slowed down.

"Husband—why do you look at me like that?" The voice was ethereal, expectant.

Bai Zhi looked at Wei Ziwan's bright eyebrows, the corners of her lips twitched, and she suddenly turned her head away: "It's nothing, you're right, if they do something bad, we naturally can't help them, so it's better to clarify the matter before we talk about it."
