Song Xixi was not sure. When passing through a dense jungle, she quickened her pace and rushed in.
Due to her short stature, she lowered herself down and hid herself in a thick patch of thatch, making her impossible to spot unless she got closer.
After a while, two messy footsteps came from above, and one of them said angrily: "Where are the people, the ones who were there just now, disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Another person asked anxiously: "Has this little girl discovered us?"
"We're not following closely, and she doesn't have back eyes. Can she spot us?"
"It's hard to say. This girl is very weird. With such brute strength, it's not surprising that she has clairaudience."
"Fuck, what should I do now?"
"We'll try again, but it doesn't work. Let's squat down on the way down the mountain. I don't believe we can't squat down with her."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The footsteps gradually faded away, Song Xixi's eyes flashed with deep thought, and she nestled in the grass without moving.
Soon, the footsteps came back again, mixed with the curses of the two men.
After walking around in circles for several times, they tried to find traces of Song Xixi, but found nothing. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and leave.
After the two men had completely gone away, Song Xixi walked out and looked at the direction the two men were leaving in silence.
001 whispered: [Host, you are being targeted by bad guys!]
Song Xixi asked: "Do you know their identities?"
001 Shame: [Host, your perspective is the perspective of this system, this system doesn’t know~]
Song Xixi asked casually, without much hope: "Either one is from the three nearby villages, or one with the surname Liu."
I went to town twice in a row and attracted a lot of people's attention. It was not surprising to be seen by people from these three villages.
The added accent sounded like someone from out of town, and it became clear after a little inquiry.
Money attracts people's hearts. It's no secret that she sells prey at Lai Fu Restaurant. It's even less surprising that someone is plotting against her.
As for the person named Liu, she had offended him. He did not dare to do anything openly because of the Zhao family, so it was reasonable to send people to keep an eye on her and try to do something dirty.
It's not difficult to know the identities of these two people. It will be clear to you when you go down the mountain and catch them in a while.
Song Xixi thought so, and walked forward without stopping. Unexpectedly, she missed it. There was no sign of damage to the "Big Dipper", and there was no sign of the broken ears.
After waiting in vain all night, Song Xixi felt quite disappointed, thinking about the reason why there was no prey in the trap and the wolves were not hunting.
The wolves will not do useless work, but the prey will come here regularly to look for food, because they came here yesterday and will not come again in a short time.
The wolves have obviously mastered this, so they are not guarding here today.
Unfortunately, there was a communication barrier between humans and wolves, and Song Xixi didn't know it at all, so her trip was in vain.
After thinking clearly, Song Xixi brushed aside the disappointment just now and rushed to the creek with a hoe to see if there was any harvest, and also to deal with the two guys who might be ambushing halfway.
The traps by the creek were used, but they did not trap any prey. It seems that the small animals that entered by mistake were very alert and escaped immediately after sensing something was wrong.
Song Xixi was very sorry, so she could only find branches and weeds, cover up the trap again, and then walked towards the foot of the mountain, focusing on the two men.
Unexpectedly, until she stepped into the Song family'ao area, she didn't see the shadow of the two men. She didn't know if she had something to do and left early, or if she gave up with nothing.
Song Xixi felt a little uneasy. After the beaming ceremony, she told her family about the incident and her speculations.
The Song family's expressions changed and they immediately started discussing away from the crowd.
"Whether these two people are Liu or they are here for prey, please don't go up the mountain in the next few days." Niu Hua'er held her daughter's hand tightly, fearing that she would be in danger alone.
Song Xixi shook her head: "Always hiding is not the answer, it is better to find a way to find them out."
She hoped that these two people were sent by Liu. For Song Jia'ao, Liu was a hidden danger after all. If she could take the opportunity to deal with him, Song Jia'ao would be much more peaceful in the future.
Zhang Xiaomei agreed: "There are only those who have been thieves for a thousand years, and there are no thieves who have been guarding against thieves for a thousand years. They have the courage to be thieves, why should we be afraid?"
Song Wufu also thought the same and gave a feasible solution: "Whatever you good boy should do next, let your father and uncle follow you quietly, they will show up sooner or later!"
The old couple both spoke, and the others had no objections. They just repeatedly told Song Xixi to be careful and not to go up the mountain alone before catching the person.
Just as the family was preparing to return to the construction site to lay thatch on their roof, Fang Xiaocui walked towards them carrying a bamboo basket.
Seeing Song Xixi, the smile on her face became more genuine. She greeted the Song family enthusiastically and explained her purpose in the confused look of the Song family: "Yesterday, my son injured his leg on the mountain. Thank you girl for sending him back. Otherwise,
I didn’t even know this kid was taken away by a wolf!”
With that said, he put the bamboo basket into Zhang Xiaomei's hand: "This is a little thank you gift, thank you girl for saving my son!"
The Song family quickly looked at Song Xixi, thinking that this girl was hiding something. People came to her door, and they knew what she had done.
Song Xixi was helpless. She didn't take it seriously at all, so naturally she wouldn't mention it specifically.
Zhang Xiaomei glanced at the bamboo basket from the corner of her eyes and saw a bowl of meat and no less than twenty eggs inside, and a smile appeared on her face: "It's just a matter of helping me, why did you come here to say thank you!"
Fang Xiaocui said quickly: "Yes, yes, my son's leg was seriously injured and he bled a lot. If your girl hadn't helped, the blood might have dried up. I can't thank you enough!"
"
Song Xixi took the bamboo basket, took out the bowl of meat, and returned the eggs: "It's just a casual thing, just take half of the thank you gift."
When Zhang Xiaomei saw this, a look of pain flashed across her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but thought of her granddaughter's growing ambitions and the fact that she had saved the person herself, she closed her mouth.
"No, no, it's a casual matter for you, but it's a life-saving matter for my family!"
Fang Xiaocui resolutely refused to take the basket back, and kept pushing it towards Song Xixi: "If you don't take it, Auntie will send it to the mountain every day!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to speak, Song Xixi had no choice but to accept the bamboo basket.
Fang Xiaocui became happy and held her hand affectionately: "Erhu was thinking about this as soon as he opened his eyes today and urged me to come to you quickly. When his leg is healed, I will ask him to come and play with you."
Thinking of Lu Erhu's chatter, Song Xixi's head grew bigger and bigger: "No, no, no, I'm usually very busy and don't have time to play with him."
Fang Xiaocui didn't seem to hear her tactful refusal, patting the back of her hand and saying: "It's okay, Erhu is very diligent, just let him do the work for you, and it will save him from wandering around."
