Zhang Yi said, “Yes, definitely! Can’t you tell? They’re not ordinary rich children. I have a feeling that the people from Shatai Village are screwed this time!”
Hiking in such hot weather was really torturous!
At this moment, everyone was carrying something, so it felt even hotter than before.
Even Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue carried their luggage.
As Li Xiaoran climbed, she suddenly thought of something.
“Husband, don’t we need to inform the authorities?”
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “We can’t inform them. Who knows if there are people who are colluding with Shatai Village? Do you think the people of Shatai Village are really that lucky? Every time the authorities come to eliminate them, they can escape into the mountains in time? Someone among the authorities must have informed the people of Shatai Village!” When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately fell silent.
“I thought the people from Shatai Village were very impressive! It turns out that they were also colluding with the officials!”
Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Li Xiaoran, you’re very smart, but you’re ignorant about official matters. Why don’t you understand?! For Shatai Village to develop like this, there might be officials who caused this on purpose. There are many things in this world that are not black or white. Some officials seem to be upright officials on the surface, but they’ve done all kinds of evil things behind people’s backs.” Luo Cheng’s words enlightened Li Xiaoran.
That’s right, Li Xiaoran was still very unfamiliar with officialdom.
After all, she had never been in the government, so she didn’t understand many things.
Li Xiaoran said, “It’s fine. Husband, tell me more about the government when you’re free in the future. Over time, I can learn a lot!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Didn’t you hate these sorts of drama in the past? Why do you want to learn them now?
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she rolled her eyes at him.
“Isn’t it because of you? With your status, husband, it’s destined that you won’t be able to live a peaceful life. Since I’m married to you and became your wife, I naturally have to share the burden with you! Besides, just because I hate drama doesn’t mean that I’m unwilling to learn! It’s precisely because I hate these
that I have to learn these things. Only by understanding these things can I
avoid these schemes and not drag you down. At the critical moment, I can even help you!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he felt touched.
It felt so good to have someone who could think for his sake.
Just as Luo Cheng was about to say something, Li Xiaoran’s expression changed and she said in a low voice, “Someone’s here! There are seven people!” These words stunned everyone around him.
Luo Cheng smiled and said, “There’s no need to be nervous. Let’s continue the original plan!”
Shu Ruyue also came to Li Xiaoran’s side. Then, the two of them handed their luggage to someone else.
After Li Xiaoran took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face, she said, “Husband, I don’t know who you heard from that the scenery in Shatai Village is good and we can even buy good herbs. Do you think the scenery is good? It’s so hot, but we can’t even sit in a carriage. I don’t want to walk any longer!”
With that, Li Xiaoran stopped in place, pouted, and fanned herself with a handkerchief.
Shu Ruyue also said, “That’s right. I don’t think there’s anything to see here! Let’s not go up the mountain. Let’s go down the mountain!”
Seeing this, Luo Cheng hesitated.
“But we’ve already come this far. If we go down the mountain again, we’ll have to climb back up. Why don’t I send two people to send you down?”
When the people hiding in the dark heard Luo Cheng’s words, they immediately panicked.
They didn’t know what was going on with the buddies who had been lying in ambush previously. They didn’t capture them and had lost contact with them.
As the man with the scar on his face stared at the people not far away, he pondered over it.
According to the time, they should have rushed back with these people and things. Then, they would come out to meet them.
Why were there eight people here when the others were nowhere to be seen?
However, after seeing Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue, the scar-faced man put these doubts aside.
Perhaps the others had been delayed by other things, so they didn’t stop them.
Or could it be that this group of people was another group of people? The others happened to encounter a group of people, and these two groups of people weren’t together?
At the thought of this, greed appeared on the scar-faced man’s face.
In the past, when there were women in the village, he would let Big Brother and Third Brother try them first. Today, he had to get a taste of these two women first before giving them to Big Brother and Third Brother!
Thinking of this, the scar-faced man had an idea. He lowered his voice and said to his buddies, “Let’s bring them to the pheasant valley later! We’ll bring them back after we get a taste of them!”
When the few people following the scar-faced man heard this, they immediately revealed wretched gazes.
“Second Brother, you’re right. Why can they have all the good things, but we can only have leftovers?! This time, the heavens are helping us and let us have a taste first!” A person called Uge rubbed his hands impatiently.
The scar-faced man said, “Uge, put away your malicious smile. Don’t scare them away! Hurry up and follow me to welcome the guests!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scar-faced man stood up and walked towards Luo Cheng and the others.
“Are you guys here to buy herbs in Shatai Village?” Just as Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue were about to get up and go down the mountain, the scar-faced man’s voice sounded.
As soon as Luo Cheng heard this, he knew that the fish had taken the bait.
Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue also stopped because of this sudden voice.
Luo Cheng asked happily when he saw someone coming, “Are you guys from
Shatai Village?”
The scar-faced man pretended to be kind and invited, “That’s right. We’re villagers from Shatai Village. When we saw the guests coming up, we guessed that you guys were here to buy herbs! Coincidentally, we’re going to the herb valley. If you want to buy herbs, why don’t you come with us?! It’s not far.. It’s in that valley not far ahead!”
