1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!
Chapter 88 Something happened?
It was Wen Li's first time participating in such an activity, and she was infected by everyone's excitement. She followed the crowd up the mountain, with the guide leading the way. Along the way, they encountered many pheasants, rabbits, snakes, bamboo rats, and other small animals.
Some people were lucky enough to catch some pheasants and rabbits, while others found wild eggs. They also caught quite a few non-venomous snakes. Although most people were afraid of snakes, they were meat, and who would complain about having too much meat!
The joy of the harvest filled the mountains with laughter and cheerful voices.
Upon reaching a chestnut grove, the group, who had been chatting animatedly, began picking chestnuts. Wen Li also picked quite a few. After wandering around for a while, seeing that it was almost time, she slowly moved away from the crowd. When she reached the very edge, she nodded slightly to Lu Zechuan and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, quickly ran down the mountain.
She took a shortcut down the mountain, deliberately avoiding populated areas. When she returned to the educated youth compound, it was completely empty.
After making sure no one was around, she quietly opened the dormitory door and then closed it.
Without hesitation, she walked directly to Li Lingling's bed. After observing the arrangement of the items on Li Lingling's bed, she began to search.
Finding nothing on the bed, she finally went to Li Lingling's cabinet. The cabinet was locked, so she took out the master key that Lu Zechuan had given her yesterday and unlocked it.
After searching around, I found nothing in the closet except for some clothes and food.
Worried that something was amiss in the cabinet, she knocked and poked around it, but still found nothing.
After putting everything back in its place, Wen Li even searched inside her shoes, but still found nothing.
She took a deep breath and searched again, but still didn't find any documents or notes.
As time ticked by, she grew increasingly anxious. Just as she was racking her brains, she suddenly noticed a book on Li Lingling's dressing table.
She was just about to pick up the book when she noticed a strand of hair on the cover. She looked down and saw that the other end of the hair was stuck inside the book.
She opened the book along the other end of her hair, remembering which page it was on. She flipped through the book, but there was nothing special inside. Just as she was about to put the book back, her fingers suddenly noticed that the thickness of the cover was a bit off.
Carefully peeling back the book cover, she found a slip of paper inside with a poem on it and a line of numbers below. Wen Li immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote down what she read, put the slip of paper back in, and covered the book with the cover.
That hair clip goes back to page 16.
After making sure everything was back in its place, she was about to leave when she suddenly heard light footsteps approaching.
Wen Li's heart jumped instantly. Without thinking, she hid in the space. The moment she entered, the door was gently pushed open. The person at the door stood against the light, her expression hidden in the shadows, looking particularly terrifying.
Just a moment ago, Li Lingling sensed someone in the room, but when she opened the door, she found the room empty.
She walked into the house with a normal expression, but her eyes scanned the room for places where someone could hide. After confirming that no one was inside, her gaze was fixed on the book on the table. The hair on the book was still there, and there were no signs that the book had been disturbed. She pretended to look for something on the bed and noticed that the bedding on the bed had shifted slightly.
Li Lingling's eyes darkened. She went to the dressing table again, pretending to pick up the book. Her hair was still on that page. After confirming that the person hadn't found anything, the expression on her face returned a little.
From the doorway came Liu Xiu's voice, "Li Zhiqing, are you done yet?"
"Here it is!" Li Lingling took out the note and put it inside her underwear before leaving the room.
Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door close. Although she could hear the sounds from outside, she couldn't see what was happening outside.
Worried that the person hadn't left yet, I decided to rest in the space for a while. I picked some raspberries, washed them, and then leisurely ate them.
"boom--"
When Wen Li heard the sound of gunfire, she almost dropped the plate in her hand. Had something happened?
After confirming that no one was outside, she immediately left the space. She picked up the book again and found that the note inside the cover was gone.
Wen Li's heart also tightened. Li Lingling must have discovered something. She had to give the note to Lu Zechuan quickly.
After leaving the educated youth compound, she took the path up the mountain again. On the way, she deliberately made herself look a little disheveled and even took out a wild rabbit from her spatial storage and put it in her basket.
When she arrived, the villagers had all gathered together, but they didn't seem panicked, so it didn't seem to be anything serious.
Wen Li pretended to be anxious as she walked to Lu Zechuan's side and, using the bushes as cover, slipped the note into his hand.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, we just encountered a wild boar!"
Hearing that it was a wild boar, Wen Li felt much relieved.
"She must have noticed!"
Lu Zechuan remained calm and said nothing more.
With the sound of several gunshots, the howls of wild boars followed. Before long, a dozen or so young men from the village returned carrying two wild boars.
The crowd erupted in cheers and laughter, and Wen Li laughed along with them.
Just as she was about to continue picking chestnuts, Li Lingling came up behind her.
"Wen, I was just looking for you, but I couldn't find you. Where did you go?"
Wen Li pointed at the rabbit, her face beaming with a bright smile, "Haha~ I was lucky, I saw a rabbit and went to catch it!"
Upon hearing Wen Li mention the wild rabbit, the auntie passing by stopped in her tracks. "Wow~ you're really lucky. None of the other rabbits anyone else caught were as fat as yours!"
Wen Li immediately struck up a conversation with the woman, "So, it wasn't for nothing that I followed them for so long to catch them!"
Seeing that Wen Li didn't seem to be lying, Li Lingling became even more suspicious. Wen Li had never been to their dormitory before, but she suddenly came to visit yesterday and disappeared for more than an hour today, making it hard for Li Lingling not to suspect her.
However, regardless of whether Wen Li was lying or not, she would have to be more careful in the future. Since that person's goal today was not money, then it must be her!
After her aunt left, Wen Li seemed to remember Li Lingling only then. "By the way, did Li Zhiqing want to see me about something?"
"It's nothing. We found a place with a lot of chestnuts, and our baskets are all full. We were thinking of having you come over to my place to pick some, but we couldn't find you!"
"Oh, I saw a chestnut tree when I was chasing rabbits over there. Nobody goes there. Do you want to come with me to pick some?"
"Alright, let's go!"
Wen Li glanced at the crowd; there were too many people, and she couldn't see Chen Yan. So she took Li Lingling to the chestnut tree she had found last time.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two saw a chestnut tree. This place was a bit deep in the mountains, and the villagers never came here, which was perfect for Wen Li.
