Xu Qiaoqiao simply cleaned up and walked out from a place with few people. She didn't know when Mu Ci would come back.

The other party repeatedly told her that she was allowed to go to the place alone. Xu Qiaoqiao subconsciously excluded Mu Ci and completely forgot that everything Mu Ci said before was just to trick him into believing him.

"Where has the newly developed project been carried out recently?" Mu Ci asked in front of him with a big stride.

Xu Qiaoqiao vaguely heard Mu Ci's voice, and hurriedly hid in the crowd, waiting for the sound to get farther and farther before running to the hospital door and stopped the taxi and left.

"Pineapple Valley, Yutan County." Xu Qiaoqiao said directly about the destination. After realizing the driver's strange eyes, he said that he could pay the money, so the driver drove away gradually.

"How could a girl go to such a remote place alone?" the driver asked in confusion.

"Me." Xu Qiaoqiao realized that she could not tell the truth, but she had to say that someone she knew in the village. She thought about it and said, "My best friend is in this village. Something happened to her. I want to go and see her."

"That's it." The taxi driver was obviously relaxed a lot: "I was still wondering how you, a girl, why did you go back to such a remote place? However, this Fengli Village is a remote village, and the girl has to be more careful when she arrives."

"I understand, thank you uncle." Xu Qiaoqiao said thank you, and he also took a scruple in his heart.

The driver may have seen Xu Qiaoqiao feel indifferent, but he is not talking and is concentrating on driving his own car.

The taxi was getting worse and worse, and Xu Qiaoqiao kept navigating with her mobile phone, knowing that she was about to reach her destination.

"Uncle, this place is quite remote and it's not easy to take a taxi. I may have to come back later. Can you park near the village and wait for me? I'll give you double the fare."

The driver laughed and said, "Okay, girl, just don't lie to me. If I go back so far, I will definitely not make much money."

The two quickly made an agreement, afraid that they would be discovered by each other. Xu Qiaoqiao made an excuse to ask the driver to park the car a little far from the entrance of the village and walked alone to the entrance of the village.

It was almost noon in the village, and many villagers came home with hoes on their backs, looking natural and peaceful.

Xu Qiaoqiao stood at the entrance of the village, and was very anxious. There seemed to be no strange place in the village, which made her feel a little confused about where to find the person and children who sent her text messages.

"Where are you? How do I find you?" Xu Qiaoqiao lowered her head and sent a message, not noticing that at the corner of a house at the entrance of the village, a man was arching his body and paying attention to his movements.

"The village shop, look for Old Man Li."

When he walked into the village, Xu Qiaoqiao noticed the desolation and barrenness inside Fengli Village. Most of the pedestrians in the village were also hunched over, and Xu Qiaoqiao shivered unconsciously.

"Hello, I want to ask, where are the shops in the village?" Xu Qiaoqiao found an old man to ask for directions.

"Shop?" The old man glanced at Xu Qiaoqiao beside him. Although his face was strange, he answered Xu Qiaoqiao's question.

"What about Old Man Li? Do you know?"

The old man glanced at Xu Qiaoqiao strangely, shook his head as if he was regretful, "Are you looking for Old Man Li? It's such a sin!"

Xu Qiaoqiao wanted to ask something, but when she saw the old man leaving on his own, she had no intention of continuing to answer his question.

Although he was confused, Xu Qiaoqiao was in a hurry to find the child now, and still walked towards the direction the old man pointed without thinking.

Xu Qiaoqiao found the shop in the text message almost seven or eight minutes. For the sake of the child, she had almost no hesitation and opened the curtain and entered the shop.

The shop looks neatly arranged, and it is incompatible with the poor in the village.

"Hello, I want to find Old Man Li."

"What did you say?" The store owner seemed to be unable to hear what Xu Qiaoqiao said clearly, and while stuttering his ears casually, he asked, "Who did you think you were looking for?"

"I'll look for Old Man Li." Xu Qiaoqiao repeated to the boss again.

The shop owner looked at Xu Qiaoqiao and smiled strangely. The small eyes as big as mung beans were rolling, and the eyes that were flashing with unknown light were staring straight at Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Are you looking for Old Man Li?"

"Yes." Xu Qiaoqiao replied immediately, with a sense of urgency in his voice.

"He, an old drunkard, drunk." At the end, the boss smiled: "What's the matter with you when you look for that old man Li?"

The shop owner's tone made Xu Qiaoqiao instinctively repel it. Xu Qiaoqiao did not answer and then asked, "When will he wake up?"

The store owner seemed to have suddenly become a different person, smiled nervously and said maliciously: "How can I know? Just wait here alone!"

Xu Qiaoqiao had no choice but to stand aside and wait, but she was anxious but had no choice but to do anything.

"Master, I'm having a meal!" A convincing person in the inner room shouted, and the shop owner went straight into the inner room without caring about the fact that there were still people in the store.

Xu Qiaoqiao vaguely heard the conversation between the couple inside. Just as he wanted to stay away, he heard the words "Old Man Li" mentioned in the words of the boss's wife. She was determined to stay in place and listen to what was being said.

"Is that person outside here to look for Old Man Li?" The boss's wife's voice came from inside.

"What do you care about so much?" The store owner's voice sounded obviously anxious.

"What do I care about so much?" The boss lady sounded a little angry: "You touched your conscience and said, do you know what Old Man Li does? You dare to keep the girl in the store waiting for Old Man Liu to wake up."

"What are you doing?" The boss sneered: "Of course I know what Old Man Liu does? He just gave me money in the store every day!"

"That money..."

Before the boss's wife could finish her words, the man directly stopped her: "What's wrong with that money? Did you not spend a penny of the money I made with my own ability?"

"Ha! Why didn't you say no to do it when you agreed to do these things? Now you are here to be the Virgin Mary, why? Is your conscience condemned and unable to get over it?"

The quarrel between the boss and the boss's wife was getting more and more intense. Xu Qiaoqiao realized that something was wrong, but she still bit the bullet and continued to listen to it in the afternoon. She needed to know what they were doing. She was afraid of missing out on anything about the child.

"You know!" The boss's voice inside was obviously a little out of control: "Do you still remember Chunfang last time? He was deceived by Old Man Li to the northwest mountains to be a wife for a poor family! Such a beautiful girl, who is still so young, was treated like a livestock by that family, and even died of dying from labor!"
