Chapter 66 Search
The people in the room came out calmly, leaning on crutches, and said, "Are you back?" He approached Jiu Li, intending to take the basket behind her.

Jiu Li just looked at his legs, slowly put down the back basket behind him, and said, "Are your legs struggling?"

He smiled, warm and comfortable like the wind passing through the crack of the door at night.

"You go in and out and look at the foot of the mountain, miss me?" Jiu Li exposed his little thought just now without hesitation.

Sankui scratched his head and said awkwardly, "The food you cook is quite delicious."

Jiuli went to wash her hands, the water in the basin was clear, someone had just changed it, or had been waiting for her to come back.

"Qilang, your sister is back." Sankui yelled into the kitchen. He and Qilang got acquainted with Qilang in the past few days, and he could order him to work at home.

Qilang ran out of the kitchen in disgrace, rubbing his eyes as he ran, tears streaming down from the smoke.

"Sister, are you back?" Qilang touched his face and couldn't help sneezing.

Jiuli smiled, and looked at the kitchen next to him with pursed lips. Black smoke billowed out from the roof.

"What kind of firewood are you using? Why is there so much smoke?" Jiuli said as he ran towards the kitchen, and the two of them followed.

"It's all firewood from the backyard. I thought it was for firewood, so I used it to light the fire." Sankui followed closely behind Jiuli, looking like a young apprentice eager to learn.

Jiuli hurriedly took them out from the bottom of the pot, soaked them in a basin of water, and made a "stinging" sound. The smoke was really much smaller than before.

Jiuli turned to look at them and said, "This is fresh wood, it's good enough to burn, the moisture in it needs to be dried before it can be lit, otherwise there will be a lot of smoke."

"Oh." Sankui nodded like a child.

"Why did you come back so late today?" He turned his head and glanced at Jiuli, she usually came back at this time.

"Oh..." Jiuli wanted to say that he picked up a seriously ill old lady in the mountains, but she didn't know if she could be saved, and she didn't know how to express it.

Hearing the rapid and uncluttered footsteps coming from outside the door, he looked well-trained.

"Officers and soldiers." Sankui blurted out.While talking, the two came out at the same time, looking at the door at the same time.

Jiu Li was a little startled, and said, "Officers and soldiers? This place is remote, how could there be officers and soldiers here?"

Qilang hid in the kitchen to cook after hearing what the officers and soldiers said, and refused to come out.

"Dong dong dong" several knocks on the door passed, and a few people in official uniforms really broke in.They looked up and saw Jiuli and Sankui standing in the yard, and shouted angrily, "Is there anyone else in the family?"

"Qilang?" Jiuli called out to the kitchen.

Shichiro came out of the kitchen covering his eyes.

Later, a few more officers and soldiers came in. They quickly glanced at the three people standing in the yard, and couldn't help asking, "Why are there so many houses in this house?"

"Search it." There was a head, and he greeted the people behind him.People from behind swarmed in like bees, searching from room to room.

Even the firewood pile in the backyard was not spared.

In the end, they all came out disappointed, shook their heads and said, "I found nothing."

When they walked out, the leader didn't forget to turn his face to look at them and said, "If you see a strange old lady entering the village, remember to report to the government."

Jiuli and Sankui nodded repeatedly, agreeing happily.
