Chapter 50 Little Huihui

Ji Sisi rubbed the little wolf's soft head again, "A lowly life is easy to raise, especially since you've suffered such serious injuries."

The little wolf raised its head and howled, its voice tender and crisp.

"I'll call you Little Grey, the least wolf-like wolf in the pack."

Ji Sisi gently patted its little head, stood up to find a basin, poured all the caterpillar fungus she had dug up that day into the basin, took a small stool and sat in the yard, carefully brushing the caterpillar fungus with a small brush. She planned to deliver it to Zhang Qianjin when he got off work.

Little Grey drank goat milk until his belly was round and plump, a size bigger than before. The fur around his mouth was covered in milk, looking like a white beard.

After finishing the drink, he quietly lay down at Ji Sisi's feet, keeping her company as she brushed the cordyceps.

When Ji Sisi went to see it again, Little Grey had already closed its eyes and started to sleep, its nose twitching from time to time.

By the time the sun went down, all the cordyceps in the winnowing basket had dried, and Ji Sisi put them all in a bag, ready to take them to Zhang Qianjin.

Little Grey Wolf followed behind Ji Sisi, and she nearly stepped on it several times.

Ji Sisi shook her head helplessly. This little guy was really clingy. He looked like a dog, not a wolf.

The threshold at home was too high, and Little Grey was too short. Seeing that Ji Sisi had already walked out, it still hadn't jumped over the threshold. Little Grey got anxious and circled around the door, barking as if to say that it hadn't crossed over yet.

Ji Sisi walked a distance, but turned back when she heard the call.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, wouldn't it be better for you to stay home and guard the house?"

Little Grey barked twice more, seemingly refuting Ji Sisi.

Ji Sisi laughed in exasperation, picked it up and carried it out, letting Little Grey follow behind. The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two, casting them on the ground, creating a heartwarming scene.

Zhang Qianjin was startled when he saw Ji Sisi, but when he looked at the bag in her hand, he understood her purpose. Hearing a cry, his gaze fell on the little wolf at Ji Sisi's feet.

"It's been a while. Where did you get this dog? And are these medicinal herbs still delivered to the same shop as last time?"

Ji Sisi nodded, "I found this dog on the grassland. I felt sorry for it because it was injured, so I brought it back. I'm sorry to have troubled you twice, Brother Zhang. I'll take advantage of the opportunity to go to the county town at the beginning of the month to avoid troubling you again."

Zhang Qianjin took the items, hesitated, and looked at Ji Sisi with pity.

"It's no trouble at all. I'm just passing by, it's nothing. We're all family members from the same institute, so it's only natural for me to help you out. Besides, Director Qi isn't here right now, so we colleagues should help you even more."

The day before yesterday afternoon, the institute received a telegram announcing the disappearance of Qi Yan and Fang Shiming. Their whereabouts and fate remain unknown.

This news created a very somber atmosphere throughout the institute.

Ji Sisi noticed that Zhang Qianjin's eyes were strange, and his words seemed to be hinting at something. Her intuition told her that it was related to Qi Yan.

"Brother Zhang, how's Qi Yan and the others' mission going? Have they sent a telegram saying when they'll be back?"

Zhang Qianjin forced a stiff smile and guiltily looked away.

"Not yet, but don't worry, Director Qi will definitely be back."

As soon as she said that, Ji Sisi's smile vanished in an instant; she already knew the answer in her heart.

"That's good. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. It's getting late."

Ji Sisi made an excuse to leave.

Zhang Qianjin watched Ji Sisi's departing figure, shaking his head and sighing.

Sigh, if Ji Sisi knew that Qi Yan had encountered spies, his mission was interrupted, and he had disappeared, she would probably go crazy with worry.

He dared not speak carelessly about things that were not yet certain, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

What are you doing standing there like an idiot in front of your house?

When Wang Cuicui came out, Ji Sisi had already left. Seeing Zhang Qianjin shaking his head at the air, she was completely confused.

Suddenly, Wang Cuicui stared intently at the small burlap sack in Zhang Qianjin's hand. "What good stuff did the institute give out this time? Strange, why are they giving out things when it's not a holiday? Let me see what you have."

Zhang Qianjin turned around and met Wang Cuicui's suspicious expression. He felt exhausted, as if a mountain was pressing on his back, making it hard for him to breathe.

Seeing that Zhang Qianjin did not react, Wang Cuicui was about to reach out and snatch it.

"This is something someone asked me to give to a relative in the city tomorrow. It involves their privacy, so how can I just show it to you?" Zhang Qianjin walked past Wang Cuicui into the house. "Let's eat. You must be tired after a long day."

Wang Cuicui frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

Zhang Qianjin had brought things for other people before, but she had never failed to check them. This time, he didn't dare to show them to her. Could it be some little bitch?
Wang Cuicui didn't say anything, closed the door, and planned to rummage through the bag after Zhang Qianjin fell asleep that night to see what treasure it was that he wouldn't even let her take a look.
-
Ji Sisi lay in bed that night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, her mind filled with images of Zhang Qianjin's guilty conscience from the day before.

It seems that Qi Yan has indeed run into trouble.

Is he alive or dead? According to the plot of her previous life, news of Qi Yan's death should have come long ago. She had always thought that the lack of news was good news for her, at least giving her hope for survival.

But seeing Zhang Qianjin's reaction today, Ji Sisi couldn't comfort herself.

Ji Sisi returned to the living room, pulled the light cord, and the dark living room suddenly became bright. Little Grey ran out from under the table.

Ji Sisi felt the living room was a bit stuffy, so she opened the doors and windows to let in some fresh air.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its light pure and clear. The night sky is filled with twinkling stars and the croaking of frogs.

As soon as Little Grey saw the moon, it couldn't suppress its ingrained genes and looked up at the moon, letting out a howl.

"Ow~"

Ji Sisi reached out and covered Little Grey's mouth, "Shh, you can't call your parents here. Once you've recovered, I'll send you back."

Ji Sisi then thought that wolves are social animals, and mother wolves can also find their way by following the scent of their cubs.

This is a whole family coming; she can't possibly entertain them all...

So Ji Sisi silently picked up Little Grey and placed it outside the door, saying, "I'm sorry you had to go through this tonight."

After saying that, she quickly closed the doors and windows and retreated back into her room.

The body is insignificant in the face of fear, and Ji Sisi instantly felt refreshed and relaxed, with no sense of stuffiness at all.

Her will to survive was at its peak.

The following day, as agreed with Huang Qiaomei the day before, Ji Sisi rode with her on her bicycle to report for duty in the morning.

"Sisi, you're here so early. Come in and wait for me for a while."

Huang Qiaomei's small courtyard is full of vegetables, planted in different areas, all of which are seasonal vegetables.

Good morning, Aunt Sisi!

Fu Weiming came out with his rice bowl, not forgetting to greet Ji Sisi.

"You brat, hurry up and eat your food! You don't like the porridge in your bowl, so you want bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork? Where did you get your slow pace from?"

Huang Qiaomei's urging voice startled Fu Weiming, who turned back to the living room and obediently sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

Ji Sisi sat in the courtyard waiting for Huang Qiaomei.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go."

Huang Qiaomei raised her sleeve to wipe her mouth, with a small military green bag slung over her shoulder.

Huang Qiaomei's bicycle was quite large; Ji Sisi sat in the back, and there was still room to spare. It must have been used by Director Fu before.
