1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

Liu Guixiang was right. No matter what, Jiang Chen was a villager. So the next day, when Jiang Chen still hadn't returned and no one could find him, the village chief had no choice but to approach Wen Li again.

A day passed, and presumably Jiang Chen had already been sold out. Wen Li no longer needed to hide it, so she revealed her guess.

"Could it be that Chen Jie and his group held a grudge and sold Jiang, the educated youth, into the mountains?"

The village chief's lips twitched. What did he mean by Chen Jie and the others holding a grudge?

It was clearly Wen Li who harbored resentment, yet she still wanted to find someone to take the blame. Her composure impressed the village chief and others!

"Can you guess which village they sold Jiang Chen to?"

The village chief was practically admitting that Wen Li was the mastermind.

"I don't know. I've never been to the mountains. Only Chen Jie and the others know the specifics!"

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Wen Li, the village chief had no choice but to leave again and then ordered people to guard Qingli Village.

It wasn't until dark that Chen Jie and Zhou Lao Er returned from the mountains, looking travel-worn.

The people waiting in Qingli Village immediately notified the village chief, who then led his men to surround the two individuals.

Jiang Yue'er stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Lao Er, who was still trying to escape. "Chen Jie, Zhou Lao Er, where's Jiang Chen?"

The two men felt a jolt of fear, knowing they couldn't keep this a secret any longer. They had originally planned to come back, pack some things, and go out to hide for a while, but people had arrived so quickly.

Village chief: "Where did you sell Jiang Chen to?"

When the village chief asked directly, Zhou Lao Er and Chen Jie knew that their scheme had been exposed.

Chen Jie wanted to implicate Wen Li, but Zhou Lao Er stopped him with a look.

Zhou Lao Er gave Chen Jie a wink, and only then did Chen Jie see Wen Li standing at the back of the crowd, looking at them with a mocking expression.

Chen Jie instinctively shuddered; it was terrifying!

Wen Li's ambiguous smile was terrifying!

Zhou Lao Er had no doubt that if he dared to reveal Wen Li's name, she would kill him tonight.

"Jiang, the educated youth, went on a trip to the mountains with us, but he got lost. We searched for him for a long time, but couldn't find him. We were just about to go to your village to ask if he had come back."

"You're lying. You must know where Ah Chen is!"

Jiang Yue'er was going crazy. Every day that Jiang Chen was delayed increased the danger. Jiang Yue'er knew how tyrannical the people living in the mountains were. All she wanted now was to find Jiang Chen as soon as possible.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll call the police!"

When it came to reporting to the police, Zhou Lao Er was instantly unafraid. If this matter were really reported to the police, Jiang Chen and Shu Yun wouldn't be able to escape either, so he wasn't afraid at all!

"Go ahead and report it! We'll wait!"

Jiang Yue'er was furious at Zhou Lao Er's shameless behavior. Jiang Chen and Shu Yun were in the wrong first. If she reported it to the police, what would happen if Jiang Chen got arrested?

"Then tell me, where is Jiang Chen?"

Zhou Lao Er continued his shameless act: "I don't know! You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

The village chief could also see that these two people would not admit to selling Jiang Chen.

"Can you tell us where Jiang Chen got separated from you?"

Zhou Lao Er was waiting for this very sentence. He was also worried that things would escalate, so he gave up the address to save face.

Having obtained the address, the village chief immediately led his men back to the village.

It's already dark, so even if we want to look for someone, we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

"Father..." Realizing she had called him the wrong name, Jiang Yue'er quickly corrected herself, "Village Chief, you must take people to rescue A-Chen right away! He must be in great danger in the mountains!"

Before the village chief could even speak, one of the villagers retorted, "What are you saying? Isn't it dangerous for us to go into the mountains in the middle of the night?"

Nobody wanted to mess with those people in the mountains, but since we were from the same village, we were going anyway, but not in the middle of the night!

"That's right, Yue'er, it's still so cold outside. You should also think about your uncles; what if they get frostbite?"

"Who will be responsible if we encounter a pack of wolves?"

Everyone chimed in with similar opinions, all saying that they would never go into the mountains late at night.

Jiang Yue'er walked alone in the middle, with no one speaking up for her. Even Qi Yang and Xiao Liang remained silent.

A feeling of powerlessness washed over her, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

Qi Yang quickly helped her up, "Are you alright?"

"Qi Yang, please go and save A-Chen for me, okay?"

Qi Yang sighed. "Yue'er, everyone is right. It's getting late, it's very cold outside, and there are wolves in the mountains. What if we encounter them?"

"Tomorrow, I promise I'll go and save Jiang Chen for you, okay?"

Jiang Yue'er knew this was the truth, but she still felt heartbroken.

She was so good to Qi Yang, saying she loved him, but she was still unreliable.

"Um!"

Wen Li walked at the very back, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her eyes full of laughter, her gloating expression undisguised.

Su Hao: "Aren't you afraid that Zhou Lao Er and the others will expose you?"

"Don't worry, Shu Yun will take care of this for me!"

"Huh?" Su Hao was full of questions and didn't understand what it meant.

At that time, Wen Li saw the sinister look in Shu Yun's eyes and knew that Chen Jie and Zhou Lao Er must have been dealt a terrible blow by Shu Yun.

Even for her own sake, Shu Yun wouldn't let Chen Jie and Zhou Lao Er talk nonsense.

Sure enough, the next morning, everyone heard that Chen Jie had been injured by thugs the night before.

Although not fatal, Chen Jie had dozens of cuts on his body and face from a knife.

He was saved because his mother got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and found their bedroom door open.

The village chief gathered all the able-bodied men in the village early in the morning, and they all took their tools and went into the mountains together.

There were quite a few able-bodied young men in the village, totaling about seventy or eighty people. This large and imposing group looked rather intimidating.

All the educated youth from the educated youth compound went along as well.

Wen Li originally wanted to go and see what was going on, but the village chief and the brigade leader refused.

She's a beautiful young woman; if she goes with them, who knows what those people in the mountains might do?

Wen Li verbally agreed, but still secretly followed them.

At worst, she can just stay out of the way and watch the show from the shadows.

Wen Li followed behind without trying to hide, and Xie Chang'an and Su Hao, who were walking at the very back, had already spotted her.

Deng Wei warned, "Wen, you'd better hide well then, or you'll be spotted!"

Last night, Zhou Yu gave everyone a crash course on how terrifying the people in the mountains are. They've never been to school and have relied on hunting for generations.

In addition, due to their remote location, they are basically self-sufficient and rarely go outside the mountains, making them difficult to manage.

The commune generally doesn't interfere with them. Except when they get married, they basically don't interact with outsiders, but they also don't actively seek trouble.

As long as you don't provoke them, everyone can get along peacefully.
