"Alright, everyone quiet down!" Seeing that the village chief and his wife were swaying precariously, the team leader stepped forward to take charge. "It's getting late, and none of you have had lunch yet. Let's go home and eat! We can talk about it tomorrow!"

The team leader made the final decision. Everyone had been running around in the mountains all afternoon and was quite exhausted. Seeing that they didn't have to go up the mountain that night, most of them dispersed.

Nobody wanted to go into the inner enclosure at night. Those wild boars, weighing four or five hundred pounds, were not something they could handle, not to mention there were wolves inside!

At the foot of the mountain, only the Jiang family and a few of Jiang Yue'er's loyal sycophants remained.

When the family members of some of the sycophants saw that they still hadn't left, they immediately twisted their ears and left.

In the end, only the Jiang family members and four or five young men remained on the spot.

Of course, Qi Jun, as the head of the educated youth compound, couldn't leave either, because there was still Jiang Chen, another educated youth, in the mountains!

Qi Jun approached the frowning battalion commander, offered him a cigarette, and said, "Commander, once they've entered the inner perimeter, they'll probably need the militia's help!"

The captain lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "You're right, I'll contact the militia tomorrow morning!"

"You guys should go back now, it's getting late, you'll be busy tomorrow!"

The captain's words implied that Jiang Chen and his group had likely been eaten by wild animals.

Including tonight, they have been missing for two days and two nights. Nobody knows how many wild beasts are in the inner area. There is no way Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen can escape.

Wen Li thought that the male and female protagonists would die so easily, either because they got lost inside or because they encountered some kind of opportunity.

The next day, after Wen Li got the prepared ginseng from Gu Huai, she went to the post office and put the letter she had written into the package as well.

With this ginseng and the food, Wen Xu should recover soon.

After sending the items, she called Wen's mother to tell her that she had sent the items and asked her about Wen Xu's situation in detail.

Wen Xu's situation was indeed very critical at the time. He knew how miraculous the effects of the spiritual spring water were. He was injured in front of everyone, and he was worried that if he took out the spiritual spring water, Wen Li would face endless trouble.

So he used a little while he was still conscious, just enough to save his life, which is why his condition was so serious.

Back at the military region, Wen Xu was taken into the operating room and survived. After leaving the operating room, he remained unconscious.

It wasn't until Wen's mother secretly dissolved the honey that Wen Li had sent into water and fed it to Wen Xu that Wen Xu slowly woke up after two days of this.

Wen's mother and father knew how effective the things their daughter sent back were, but they didn't tell anyone, worried that it would bring trouble to Wen Li.

However, Wen Xu was so badly injured that Wen's mother had no choice but to use the things that Wen Li had sent over.

Fortunately, as a military doctor, no one suspected anything; they simply assumed that Wen's mother had taken good care of her.

After Wen Xu woke up, his mother stopped giving him honey water, worried that he was recovering too quickly and that it would arouse suspicion.

Wen Li hadn't expected Wen Xu's serious injury to be due to this reason, and her heart ached even more. "Mom, don't skimp on the supplements I sent this time; make sure Big Brother uses them all!"

Song Yu on the other end of the phone opened her mouth, wanting to ask her daughter what she had gone through, why her personality had changed so drastically, and where those things came from.

But since the hospital's phone was being tapped, she swallowed her doubts.

"Okay, don't worry about your older brother. He's recovering very well, but he can't get out of bed yet. I'll have him write to you again when he's feeling better!"

"Okay, I understand. Please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself!"

"My dear girl, with the comrades in the army here for you, Mom isn't tired!"

"There are other comrades waiting to answer the phone, so Mom won't talk to you anymore. I'll write to you later!"

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Wen Li's eyes reddened again. Wen Xu had risked his life to protect her, and she felt terrified just thinking about it.

He was so badly injured at the time; if the dosage hadn't been carefully controlled, he might have died.

While I was touched, I was also filled with deep worry.

She quickly rallied. The biggest crisis in the family had been resolved, and with her father now in good health, she believed that as long as he was energetic, he wouldn't fall into anyone else's trap.

Now is not the time to worry about these things. She still needs to go to the back mountain to find Jiang Yue'er. Putting those matters aside for the time being, she rode her bicycle back to the village.

It was still early, so the brigade leader asked the militia to go into the mountains to look for people. The men went with them, and soon everyone in the village gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch the excitement.

"Do you think Yue'er is still alive?"

"That's hard to say, there are wolves and bears in the mountains!"

"That's true, those beasts aren't easy to deal with!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Ren Yue'er is a lucky star, she'll definitely come back safely!"

"Tch~"

Wen Li ignored everyone's discussion, quietly told Chen Yan, and then went up the mountain via the path near the cowshed.

The path to the poplar grove was covered with fresh footprints, and Wen Li followed them toward the depths of the mountain.

When we got to the poplar grove, there was no one left in the woods. Judging from the footsteps, everyone must have gone into the inner area.

Wen Li looked around and then walked towards the depths of the mountains.

Perhaps the people ahead of her had startled the animals in the bushes, because she didn't encounter any animals along the way.

However, she still felt a little uneasy walking alone in such a remote and uninhabited mountain forest.

The trees inside were so dense that they blocked out the sunlight, and the thick grass reached almost to her chest.

Someone passing by has trodden a path through it; otherwise, she would have easily gotten lost in the bushes on her own.

Wen Li couldn't understand why Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen hadn't gone down the mountain but instead entered this dense forest. Had they discovered something?

She walked cautiously forward, glancing at her watch every now and then to make sure she didn't forget the time.

She was walking fast on her own, and soon she saw a figure ahead.

When she got there, she found that the others were on another hilltop, and it would take her at least another half hour to catch up with them.

Wen Li was speechless; the male and female leads were just too good at running!

Fortunately, the area was densely vegetated, so we could find people by following the footprints. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to find them even after ten days and ten nights.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen, who were on everyone's mind, were excitedly holding the box full of gold and jewels, their eyes almost dazzled by the jewelry.

"Moon, let's go out first, and we'll come back and move everything when we find a chance!"

Jiang Yue'er picked up a jade bracelet and put it on her wrist. "Achen, does it look good?"

A hint of disgust flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. What a shallow woman!

His face remained expressionless, still bearing that affectionate look. "It's beautiful, but Yue'er, this is a burial item after all. It's unlucky for you to wear it like this. I'll find you a prettier bracelet next time!"
