Wen Li went back and told Chen Yan about having to write a self-criticism. Chen Yan had been looking forward to having meat tonight, but her hard-won mood instantly collapsed.

"Ugh, the captain's too ruthless!"

Seeing Chen Yan's outburst, Wen Li's mood suddenly improved!

Sure enough, the pain doesn't disappear, it just shifts!

"Wen, what are you going to do with all this meat?" Qi Jun looked at the meat with a troubled expression. In this hot weather, it would spoil in less than two days.

"I plan to make it into meat sauce and send it home. If you want to keep it for yourselves, you can salt it so it won't spoil so easily!"

Neither of them intended to send the meat home, so they asked Wen Li for advice and marinated it with salt.

Seeing that it was still early, Wen Li closed the door and started chopping minced meat and chili peppers.

Chopping ten pounds of meat is no easy task; luckily, she's strong, otherwise her hands would have been ruined.

She still misses modern life, where you can just put this little bit of meat into a meat grinder and it's done in minutes. Instead, she spent over an hour chopping it.

After mincing the meat and chili peppers, Wenli started stir-frying the meat sauce, adding a lot of spiritual spring water along the way.

The whole village smelled of meat tonight, and the educated youth compound was no exception. The aroma of Wenli stir-fried with chili sauce wasn't as overpowering.

The meat sauce she cooked was so delicious that Qi Jun and Su Hao all came over after their meal, intending to observe and learn from her.

Wen Li was generous and told them all the steps.

Deng Wei swallowed hard. "Wen, can I buy some of this meat sauce? It smells so good!"

"I'm not selling, but I can give you some!"

"Really?" Deng Wei's eyes lit up several degrees. "Thank you, Wen Zhiqing!"

"Go get some bowls, I'll share some with you!"

"Little Pear~" Chen Yan said, hooking her arm around Wen Li's and acting coquettishly towards her.

"We can forget everyone but our Chen educated youth!"

"Hehe! I knew Little Pear was the best!"

Once the meat sauce was ready, Wen Li shared some with Su Hao and Qi Jun, and also gave some to Chen Yan and Qi Jun. She put the rest in a wooden basin to cool.

She kept some for herself. This meat sauce was absolutely delicious with rice or noodles, and it was also great with steamed buns. This time, the portion was generous, and Wen Li also sent some to the original owner's second uncle and aunt. In the original owner's memory, these relatives had been very kind to her. Since she had taken over the original owner's body, she could consider it as fulfilling her filial duty on behalf of the original owner.

The next day after work, Wen Li rode her bicycle to the post office. Once everything was mailed, Wen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the village, Su Hao and Deng Wei gathered in Qi Jun's room. Wen Li could tell from their somber expressions that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with you all?"

"Today, Deng Wei and I went to the back mountain again, and we could definitely smell pine resin in the grass along that path!"

The main reason is that there are pine trees on the back hill, and they subconsciously ignored the smell, completely unaware that there were no pine trees in that area at all.

"Although there are pine trees on the back mountain, ordinary people don't go out of their way to collect pine resin. Not many people know that wild boars like pine resin, but pine resin has medicinal value. I asked around, and Dr. Wu's grandson, Wu Xing, once collected pine resin because Dr. Wu suffers from joint pain. He went to the back mountain specifically to collect some. It's not a secret; you can find out by asking around!"

Qi Jun then revealed the results of his inquiries.

"Why would he do this? We don't think we've offended him, have we?" Chen Yan asked, puzzled.

"That doesn't prove he did it, does it?"

Su Hao and Wu Xing knew each other, and Su Hao thought Wu Xing was a decent person and wouldn't do something so heinous, so he subconsciously wanted to defend him.

Wen Li had long suspected that it was Wu Xing. Wu Xing was arrogant and didn't care about human life. In his eyes, Jiang Yue'er was the one who understood him the most. The two often confided in each other, and Jiang Yue'er also regarded him as a confidante.

He had a crush on Jiang Yue'er for many years, and he would clear away all obstacles for her if anyone dared to bully her.

In the original book, he used his medical skills to help Jiang Yue'er solve many problems. Of course, the innocent and kind-hearted heroine was unaware of these things. All of these things were done by Wu Xing on his own. Later, when the heroine found out, she was very sad for a while.

She even almost broke off her friendship with him at one point.

Of course, in the end, Wu Xing was moved by the female lead, realized his mistakes, reformed, and saved many people with his superb medical skills, becoming a world-renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine.

Wen Li raised the corners of her mouth in a mocking smile. Did the female lead really not know what Wu Xing had done?

not necessarily!

As a beneficiary of the system, Jiang Yue'er couldn't possibly be completely oblivious, no matter how slow she was to notice. One or two times might be a coincidence, but so many times, how could she not have noticed at all? She was just pretending not to know!

Wen Li tricked Jiang Yue'er twice, and Jiang Yue'er might have confided in him again, which is why Wu Xing attacked her. As for the others, they were probably implicated by her.

"But why would he do that?" Su Hao still couldn't believe Wu Xing would do such a thing.

Qi Jun was also completely baffled. "I don't know either, but someone saw Wu Xing follow us up the mountain after we did!"

"Who told you that?" Deng Wei looked at Qi Jun with suspicion.

"Villagers!"

Seeing that Qi Jun was unwilling to reveal the person's name, Deng Wei did not ask any further questions. However, he still found it hard to believe that Wu Xing, who seemed cheerful and generous and friendly to everyone, would do such a thing!

Wen Li sighed, "Perhaps he came for me!"

"Huh? You two know each other? How come I don't know you?" Chen Yan spends almost every day with Wen Li, and she doesn't even know Wu Xing. How did Wen Li offend him?

"Wu Xing likes Jiang Yue'er, and I tricked her, so he probably wants to avenge her!"

"Impossible! This is outrageous!"

Su Hao found this reason somewhat absurd. Just because of a small conflict between the girls, he was going to kill so many people. He still couldn't quite believe it!

"This is ridiculous!"

Deng Wei snapped out of his daze and thought of the wild boar. If Wen Li had reacted even a little slower, the five of them might have died on the mountain. And yet, he was told that it was such a ridiculous reason.

Qi Jun's face turned ugly. Although they were implicated, that person was targeting the five of them.

"Whether that's the reason or not, why don't you just go and ask them yourself?"

"Huh? He definitely won't admit it?" Su Hao stammered.

Chen Yan rolled her eyes at Su Hao's silly look. "Who told you to interrogate him openly and honestly? Just grab him, beat him up, and then interrogate him!"

"This...this isn't right!" Su Hao was taught from a young age to act with integrity and honesty, and he never expected it to be like this.

Chen Yan couldn't stand Su Hao's hesitation. "Just tell me, are you going to do it or not?"
