Chapter 118: You'd better be mentally prepared

Li Zhi saw Zhou Liming's hesitation, and hurriedly spoke, "It's okay, it's okay to have a chase shop, just squeeze it." ”

"My fiancΓ© is still waiting for the herb to save his life, so he can only bring more people to find it, and the probability of finding it is greater, isn't it?"

Zhou Liming saw that Li Zhi had a sad look, not like a fake, and muttered a few unintelligible words to a man beside him, and then turned to Li Zhi and said, "You go with him, the conditions in our village are limited, you had better be mentally prepared." ”

Li Zhi nodded and thanked, "It's okay, we're not afraid of hardship." ”

In the yard.

The tattered walls, the ventilated roof, and the wooden doors that have not been repaired for a long time, the moment the door is opened, dust falls from all sides.

There was a wooden bed inside, which looked older than Li Zhi's grandfather, and a boxy table with two long wooden benches.

The two female bodyguards lived with Li Zhi, and the remaining dozen or so bodyguards were crowded in the courtyard next door, which was settled in this way.

In the next few days, the bodyguards would go into the mountains to search for herbs, and she also stayed in the yard, occasionally walking, but it was not far, and it didn't seem anything strange.

The villagers would report the situation on Li Zhi's side to the village chief every day, and seeing that they were really here to find medicinal herbs, Zhou Liming gradually felt relieved.

Li Zhi is looking around here, the village is not big, there are very few people who survived the flash flood, scattered about a dozen households live in the middle of the two mountains, the surrounding mountains are towering, and they look particularly terrifying after nightfall, like two giant beasts staring at you in the dark.

The bodyguards took advantage of the effort to enter the mountain and searched the surrounding mountains, without any signal left by Tan Jiuzhou, and there was no trace of their coming, which made Li Zhi fall into a predicament for the rest of the time.

The people outside her are also continuing to investigate the secrets of "Zhoujia Village", as well as the situation of Zhou Congee's mother and Hong Rui here.

Time is getting tighter and tighter, and Zhou Liming often comes to greet them, telling them where the mountain has a high probability of finding the herbs that Li Zhi needs, and Li Zhi will thank him for his kindness every time.

"Miss, that woman is here again."

The female bodyguard turned sideways, and Li Zhi saw a woman hiding behind a tree outside at a glance, and she would come over to peek at her for the next few days.

Li Zhi thought that Zhou Liming had sent her to spy on her, so she ignored it, but at this moment, looking at the woman's hair that was obviously different from the previous few days, she wrinkled her brows, I don't know how this woman did it, the originally boring hair was like exploding, which was a little strange.

And the clothes on her body, a pink top with white pants, the same color as the one Li Zhi wore yesterday.

She's kind of found out.

When this woman came to see her the next day, she was wearing the same clothes as Li Zhi had done the day before.

Is she learning from her? Li Zhi guessed.

One night.

Li Zhi heard that the old wooden door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and greeted the female bodyguard in advance, and in the dark, the three of them squinted at the two women who sneaked in.

One was hiding behind a tree during the day to peek at them, the other looked thin, and the two of them touched Li Zhi's backpack like thieves.

In the darkness, their voices were whispered.

"Sister, are we really here to steal?"

"Erya, are you stupid, how can you say stealing, we are just here to buy something, don't talk nonsense."

The woman took her sister's hand and cautiously walked towards the square table in the room, where Li Zhi's backpack for his clothes was placed.

"After a while we leave the money and take the clothes away, and then we buy the clothes and we'll wear them when they're gone."

"When are they leaving?" Erya also secretly met Li Zhi a few times, and thought her clothes were very good-looking, "I like that pink dress, it looks good, like a little princess in a fairy tale." ”

"Shhh, don't princess, hurry up and take the clothes away, go back and pick them slowly." The woman covered her sister's mouth, turned her head to look at Li Zhi and the others on the bed, and made sure that they had not woken up before continuing to walk.

Her hand touched the strap of the backpack on the table, and the woman's eyes lit up, and she tried to get the contents inside, but found that it was empty.

At this time, Li Zhi moved "deliberately", and the two of them hid under the table of the square table in fright.

"Sister, are they awake?"

"Shhhh Hold your breath! ”

When the room was quiet again, the woman and her sister climbed out from under the table, and finally saw the two clothes that Li Zhi had placed at the foot of the bed through the light outside the window, and her face was happy.

She took her clothes away, leaving a stack of money, afraid that Li Zhi and the others would find out, so she pulled her sister and ran away in a hurry.

When the door of the courtyard was closed, Li Zhicai sat up, she turned on the flashlight she brought, looked at the things in the house, except for the two clothes, the other two people really didn't take it.

Really just here to steal clothes?

Li Zhi picked up a stack of money at the foot of the bed, looking at the thickness, it should be several thousand, where did the village in the ravine get such new money?

Doesn't it mean that the people in the village haven't been out of the village for a long time? So where did the money come from?

Li Zhi glanced at it, and it was all serial money.

Early the next morning.

Li Zhi went to Zhou Liming with this stack of money, she was worried that there was no reason to wander around the village, the woman last night just sent her a chance, and she had to thank her well.

Zhou Liming came out of the courtyard and looked at Li Zhi suspiciously, "Girl, is there something wrong with coming to me so early?" ”

"It's something."

Li Zhi told Zhou Liming about last night's incident, she bowed her head sadly, and explained, "Village Chief Zhou, if it was just ordinary clothes, I wouldn't look for it like this, that dress was made for me by my fiancΓ© himself, I cherish it, and I hope that Village Chief Zhou can help." ”

Zhou Liming frowned, she knew who these two people were almost as soon as Li Zhi said something.

"It may be the two girls from the Zhou family next door." Speaking of these two people, Zhou Liming sighed before continuing, "All their relatives were lost in that flash flood, so they were left behind." ”

"My sister is called Daya, my sister is called Erya, they are not malicious, I guess they just look good in the clothes you are wearing." Zhou Liming gathered his coat, "I'll help you get your clothes back, you wait here." ”

Li Zhi nodded and handed the money they left behind to Zhou Liming, "These money, please ask Village Chief Zhou to help return it." ”

The man waved his hand, "You can keep this money, it will be regarded as making amends for your sins, and I will go over and help you get your clothes back." ”

Zhou Liming went to knock on the door opposite, and the person who opened the door was Tuesday Ya, she took out her head and saw that it was Zhou Liming, and greeted her with a smile, "Grandpa Zhou." ”

Zhou Liming and Zhou Ya said something, the other party's eyes flashed with fear, and they secretly looked over, and hurriedly avoided after looking at Shang Lizhi's eyes, with some sad emotions in their eyes.

"Grandpa Zhou, you wait, I'll call my sister."
