Hearing Qi Qingchu say this, in fact, the village chief himself also agreed very much, and the people in their Chagouzi Village were indeed very familiar with the mountains around them.

In fact, it is not a particularly big mountain, but the forest is luxuriant, after entering the mountain, it is found that it covers the sky and the sun, and it is easy to find the way out, if it is familiar, it is good, if it is not familiar, you can only get lost.

They are in the mountains, except for one or two acres of thin fields that can be cultivated, the rest have to do some side jobs, such as weaving, fishing, hunting, etc., etc., all of which are means of making a living, and the matter of hunting is extremely important in the village now.

Many of the children in the village are taught from an early age how to find all kinds of edible and medicinal things in the mountains.

Therefore, they are very familiar with the surrounding mountains and often walk around and climb.

There are also many caves in the mountain, some of which are naturally formed and some that have been dug by hand.

All in all, if someone sneaks into the mountain secretly, it is really difficult to find it for a while, and Wu Mian has not done anything wrong, why should he propose to go up the mountain?

And if you go up the mountain, will you catch that mysterious woman?

These are all unknowns, the village chief didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, and he didn't want to chew the root of the tongue of any family outside, but he just felt that the Wu family did have some ability.

Not only often think like this, but Qi Qingchu also thinks like this.

"Will the village chief help persuade you? After all, is it a bit inappropriate to stay in the mountains in the middle of winter? Qi Qingchu questioned the suggestion.

The other party hurriedly wanted to go up the mountain, I don't know when it happened, but what they said, Qi Qingchu felt that the man named Wu Mian should not have gone up the mountain for the time being, but it was too soon.

"If the other party has made up his mind, then he can't be persuaded either." The village chief's face was a little ugly, but there was no doubt that he was right.

Wu Mian has been by his side since he was a child, and the village chief knows exactly what his personality is.

So when Hu Min and his wife came to talk about this matter today, the village chief's first reaction was to shake his head.

If Wu Mian is determined to do something, then others can't be persuaded by others, even if it is eight horses, they can't pull it back, and there is no need to persuade at all.

It's just that Wu Mian and his wife didn't explain to the village chief why Wu Mian went up the mountain and what the reason for going up the mountain was, which is the key and focus of the problem.

If Wu Mian's mother didn't believe him, then he had no choice, if Wu Mian and his mother told the village chief what happened as it was and the deep-seated reasons that couldn't be said, maybe the village chief would know what was going on.

But the village chief knew in his heart that if something big really happened, the other party would not tell him.

After going around and around, he returned to the origin of the problem, but today Wu Mian and his wife came to him with questions, and the village chief also sensed something.

Qi Qingchu really wanted to ask the village chief when he would like to take him with him to the Wu family to have a look.

Just go to Wu's house and see if the mysterious woman who was imprisoned at home is Li Jicai.

If the imprisoned woman was not Li Jicai, it is estimated that Qi Qingchu would turn around and leave on the spot.

He also thought about sneaking into someone's house, but the other party is likely to be a master of thieves, can he be a novice in the den of thieves?

It must have been recognized immediately, and the Wu family lived alone on the hillside, with no neighbors next to them, and there were other villagers, so it was obvious that they were isolated from the village chief.

"Why don't I take you with me another day, and let's go to that Wu family to see what is going on."

The village chief took a piece of chopsticks and put a vegetable in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and after he finished chewing, he put down the chopsticks and looked at Qi Qingchu and said very seriously.

If he had waited for the village chief to take him with him, it would have been estimated that the people had already gone up the mountain, and where could they still see him?

But the face is still passable, Qi Qingchu nodded nonchalantly to indicate that he was not interested in this matter at all, and was just cooperating with the village chief.

The village chief was also very pleased to see him behaving like this, and his attitude towards Qi Qingchu was even better.

Qi Qingchu picked up the rice bowl, and then ate it slowly, adding one or two dishes into his bowl from time to time, and his face was full of wind and clouds.

It seems that this matter of the Wu family has nothing to do with him at all, and he doesn't care at all.

It was precisely this attitude that made the village chief feel that Qi Qingchu was not a nosy person, and his children could be taught.

And when the old lady of the Wu family walked back, it was very different from when she came, when she came, she walked slowly and stopped three steps and stopped two steps, hesitating, and when she walked back, she was neat.

Although Wu Mian and his wife were worried, he didn't want the villagers to see her like this, and then guess something that had nothing to do, causing a lot of trouble.

After all, before, because he lost his words and said that his son brought back a daughter-in-law, it caused a lot of turmoil, so that Wu Mian was very angry with her when the news came out, and even did not admit that the woman she brought back was her daughter-in-law, which made Wu Mian and his wife very sad.

After all, Wu Mian and his wife have always felt that what Wu Mian did was for Wu Mian to be good for Wu Mian, so she should act as she said, in all aspects.

It's not as weird as it is now, making people speculate about right and wrong for no reason.

After a while, Wu Mian and his wife walked to the house, Wu Mian's home also has a fence, Wu Mian is not in the vegetable field in the house, but stands in the courtyard, looking at Wu Mian and his wife through a fence.

I don't know why Wu Mian and his wife trembled unconsciously when they saw Wu Mian's eyes, why did she feel that Wu Mian's eyes were so terrifying.

"Mother, where the hell have you been? Why did you come back so late? Lunch was cold. Wu Mian stared at his mother with burning eyes, as if she was testing him.

"I didn't go anywhere else, I just picked up some eggs and brought a bacon to the village chief, and every year at this time, I almost have to send him something." slandered his old lady tried her best to stabilize the tone of her words, so that Wu Mian could not hear it, she trembled a little.

"Is the basket heavy? If I had known that this was the case, I would have gone in place of my mother, after all, it would be better for me to do the errands. Wu Mian said very naturally, but his eyes betrayed him.

Because he suspected that his wife was reporting himself to others, exposing himself to bringing back a woman, and then imprisoning and abusing him.

"Didn't the village chief say anything?"

"I didn't say anything, I went there and just handed him the basket through the fence, and then I came back and didn't say anything, just like I had in previous years."

Wu Mian, his wife, didn't say too much about Wu Mian, but he mentioned it earlier, he knew that the village chief might be at a loss for the second monk at this moment.

So she wasn't in a hurry, she just said something casually, after all, she couldn't find it in this village, other people could talk to and ask for help, she felt that her son was getting more and more terrifying.

"Oh!" Wu Mian nodded in convincing, with a very convincing look on his face. "It's windy outside, so let's go into the house quickly."

"Hey!" Not daring to look at his son's eyes, Wu Mian and his wife chose to avoid it.

But this kind of evasion in Wu Mian's eyes is tantamount to betrayal, his wife is probably not like what she said today, she didn't say anything, Wu Mian on the contrary, he felt that his mother must have revealed something to the village chief, otherwise why did he feel so empty-hearted.

Wu Mian and his mother moved over slowly, and then opened the crack in the fence around it, and did not dare to go into the courtyard, and walked into her son's side, but only a fierce son plunged into the house.

The atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Once upon a time, she became so cautious and careful in front of her own son. is even a little humble, that is her own son, she is afraid of her own son to this extent.

It's just ridiculous.

But just looking at Wu Mian's treatment of that woman, the cruelty made Wu Mian and her mother feel frightened, she didn't dare to enter Li Jicai's room, and she didn't dare to watch her slowly and slowly die.

Even if she knows that it is wrong to do this, but she is Wu Mian's mother, she can't stand in the position of outsiders to help outsiders deal with her son, which is the contradiction in his own heart to slander his wife.

She wanted to love her son, she wanted to favor her son, even if it was against her conscience, but Wu Mian and his wife decided to do so.

Even if Wu Mian and his wife went to the village chief for help, their starting point was also for Wu Mian, so they were worried that Wu Mian would go astray and never return, and finally get into trouble and cause fire**.

That's the worst thing that can happen.

Wu Mian and his wife felt that they were watching her son gradually sink into the abyss step by step, and she seemed to have no choice but to endure and help conceal it.

Wu Mian and his wife all thought in their hearts, if this woman was gone, if she died, maybe this kind of thing would come to an end.

Her son would no longer lose his temper with her or do something unbelievable because of this woman.

Because since Li Jicai's arrival, they have been living a restless life. Sooner or later, it's time to get rid of these problems.

The end of the year is coming, and every household is basically ready for things to use in winter.

In fact, most of the food prepared in the village is grain, but now there are all kinds of stalls and shops in the capital, selling all kinds of things.

Every year, when Wu Mian returns, he will bring many of these things home, and then give them to his own family and villagers.

It's just that there is no more this year, because none of the people in Chagouzi Village outside are better than Wu Mian, and there is no Wu Mian, who makes more money, just a bastard and waits for death.

Wu Mian's status in the hearts of the people of Chagouzi Village is rising every year, but unfortunately there is no more this year, and many children are looking forward to something for a year.

The smell of winter is everywhere, and if you expose your skin a little, you can feel the cold of winter.

Well, everything that can be harvested in the field is put away, and after it is put away, it is put in the cellar and warehouse, and then kept for the winter.

The fish caught before, the pigs killed have been made into dry goods, and then there is no need to do anything, just hang it on the wall of your own house every day, and then wait until the New Year, whether it is cut off a piece, cooking or stewing, the taste is very sweet.

This is the necessary food for the people of Chagouzi Village in winter, this year Wu Mian and his wife sent a string of the largest and fattest bacon to the village chief's house, and he left sausages, Chinese cabbage, and some vegetables at home.

If you can spend the winter at your sister's house, it is naturally the best, because there is also a stove.

But if you go out of your house and go to the mountains, you can't say anything.

In addition to the cold being one of the reasons, the beasts on the mountain are also very ferocious, and when they encounter foraging beasts, they will inevitably have a fight with him.

Wu Mian's wife was worried that Wu Mian would be attacked by wild beasts when she was in the mountains, and then it would be difficult to resist.

Usually, when the villagers go up the mountain to hunt, most of them are in groups of threes and threes, or in groups, once upon a time, Wu Mian could do these things alone in the mountains?

Wu Mian and his wife are really worried about Wu Mian's safety, so they will strictly prohibit Wu Mian from putting forward the idea of going up the mountain, in the final analysis, it is also for Wu Mian's actual consideration, but it is a pity that Wu Mian is disobedient and does not accept her affection.

Every time I think of this, Wu Mian and his wife always have an urge to cry secretly, in the past, when he was a child, Wu Mian always listened to her very much, and even when he grew up, he also listened to her.

But I don't know when Wu Mian has had his own ideas, and even did some things that make people feel incredible, and even unconsciously has so much anger on his body.

It feels a little overwhelming.

Wu Mian and his wife are such a son, naturally they cherish it very much, and they raised her all the way with hard work, but they didn't think that when they grew up, they would become so self-disciplined and not listen to persuasion.

Wu Mian and his wife couldn't help but feel too disappointed, but in addition to being disappointed, she still couldn't help but plan for him everywhere.

No matter what the only seedling of the Wu family, she is such a son, if the sky falls, she, the mother, must protect him, no matter what Wu Mian has committed, what sins he has done, or it hurts the heavens and reason, or the things that people and gods are angry about, it is the same, she is his mother, no matter how difficult it is, she does not allow anyone to hurt him.
