Chapter 119 You better be mentally prepared
Li Zhi saw Zhou Liming's hesitation and said quickly, "It's okay. There's a Datong shop. They can just squeeze in."

"My fiancé is still waiting for the medicinal herbs to save his life. I can only bring more people here and search separately. The probability of finding it is higher, right?"

Zhou Liming saw Li Zhi's sad look, which didn't look fake. He muttered a few unintelligible words to a man beside him, then turned to Li Zhi and said, "Follow him, our village has limited conditions." , you’d better be mentally prepared.”

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

yard.

The shabby walls, the drafty roof, and the wooden door that has not been repaired for a long time. The moment the door is opened, dust falls from all sides.

There was a wooden bed inside. He looked older than Li Zhi's grandfather. There was a square table with two long wooden benches.

Two female bodyguards lived with Li Zhi, and the remaining ten or so bodyguards crowded in the yard next door, so they were settled.

In the next few days, the bodyguards would go into the mountains to search for medicinal herbs, while she would stay in the yard and occasionally walk, but it was not far away and nothing seemed strange.

The villagers would report the situation in Li Zhi to the village chief every day. Seeing that they were really looking for medicinal materials, Zhou Liming gradually felt relieved.

Li Zhi was looking around. The village was not big, and there were very few people who survived the flash flood. A dozen or so families lived in the middle of the two mountains. The surrounding mountains stood tall and looked particularly scary after dark. It's like two giant beasts staring at you in the dark.

The bodyguards took advantage of the time they entered the mountain to search the surrounding mountains. There was no signal left by Tan Jiuzhou, and there was no trace of their visit, which put Li Zhi in trouble for the rest of the time.

Her people outside are also continuing to investigate the secrets of "Zhoujiacun", as well as the situation of Zhou Zhou's mother and Hong Rui here.

As time became increasingly tight, Zhou Liming often came over to greet them and tell them which mountains had a higher probability of finding the herbs Li Zhi needed. Li Zhi would thank him for his kindness every time.

"Miss, that woman is here again."

The female bodyguard turned sideways, and Li Zhi immediately saw a woman hiding behind a tree outside. She would come over to peek at her in the past few days.

Li Zhi thought it was Zhou Liming who sent her here to monitor her, so he ignored her. However, looking at the woman's hair that was obviously different from the previous few days, Li Zhi frowned. He didn't know how this woman did it. Her hair was originally boring. It was like it exploded, which was a bit strange.

And the clothes she was wearing, a pink top and white pants, were the same color as what Li Zhi wore yesterday.

She has found it.

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

Is she imitating her?Li Zhi guessed.

one night.

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

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

In the darkness, their lowered voices could be heard talking.

"Sister, are we really going to steal something?"

"Erya, are you stupid? How can you say you stole something? We are just here to buy things. Don't talk nonsense."

The woman took her sister's hand and walked cautiously towards the square table in the room, where Li Zhi's backpack with clothes was placed. "After a while, we keep the money and take away the clothes, just like we bought these clothes, and we will wear them after they leave."

"When will they leave?" Erya also secretly met Li Zhi several times and thought her clothes were very beautiful. "I like that pink dress. It looks so good, just like the little princess in the fairy tale."

"Shh, goodbye princess, take the clothes away quickly and pick them out slowly when you go back." The woman covered her sister's mouth, turned to look at Li Zhi and others on the bed, and made sure they didn't wake up before continuing to walk.

When her hand touched the strap of the backpack on the table, the woman's eyes lit up and she wanted to grab the contents, but found that it was empty.

Just at this time, Li Zhi "deliberately" moved, which frightened the two of them and hid under the square table.

"Sister, are they awake?"

"Shh! Suppress your words!"

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

She took away the clothes and left a pile of money. Afraid of being discovered by Li Zhi and the others, she took her sister and ran away in a hurry.

When the door to the yard was closed, Li Zhi sat up. She turned on the flashlight she brought and looked at the things in the house. Except for the two pieces of clothing, the two people really didn't take anything else.

Are you really just here to steal clothes?
Li Zhi picked up a stack of money at the foot of the bed and saw that the thickness should be several thousand. Where did the village in Shangougou get such new money?
Didn’t it mean that people in the village haven’t left the village for a long time?So where did the money come from?

Li Zhi took a look and saw that they were all money with consecutive numbers.

Early the next morning.

Li Zhi took the stack of money to find Zhou Liming. She was worried that she had no reason to wander around the village. The woman last night just gave her an opportunity, and she wanted to thank her properly.

Zhou Liming came out of the yard and looked at Li Zhi doubtfully, "Girl, what's the matter with coming to see me so early?"

"It's something."

Li Zhi told Zhou Liming what happened last night. She lowered her head sadly and explained, "Village Chief Zhou, if it were just ordinary clothes, I wouldn't look for it like this. That dress was made for me by my fiancé. I cherish it very much and hope that Village Chief Zhou can help."

Zhou Liming frowned. She knew who these two people were almost as soon as Li Zhi told the story.

"Maybe they were 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 the flash flood, so they were left alone."

"My sister's name is Daya, and my sister's name is Erya. They don't have any ill intentions. They probably just want the clothes you wear to look good." Zhou Liming folded his coat and said, "I'll go get your clothes back for you. You wait here."

Li Zhi nodded and handed the money they left to Zhou Liming, "Please ask Village Chief Zhou to help return this money."

The man waved his hand and said, "You can keep this money as an apology. I will go over and get your clothes back right now."

Zhou Liming went to knock on the door opposite. The person who opened the door was Zhou Ya. She pulled out her head and saw that it was Zhou Liming. She smiled and said hello, "Grandpa Zhou."

Zhou Liming and Zhou Yaya said something. Fear flashed in the other's eyes, and they looked over secretly. After meeting Li Zhi's eyes, they hurriedly avoided it, with some sad emotions in their eyes.

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