I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 806 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (37)
After speaking, Ye Xu'an raised his hand and patted his rather thin chest.

Because I used too much force and lost control, I accidentally slapped myself so hard that I started coughing repeatedly.

Ye Xu'an's face turned bright red, and he couldn't even bear to look at himself.

Upon seeing this, Yu Muhuai couldn't help but smile.

Luo Ji simply gave a faint "hmm".

Seeing Ye Xu'an's fawning and obsequious manner, Tong Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Jian Ruibing was slightly behind, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhukun Village is neither too big nor too small. After walking for more than ten minutes, the group arrived at the village chief's courtyard once again.

The five people stopped in their tracks.

Without wasting any time, Yu Muhuai stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.

This time they didn't have to wait long; the courtyard gate opened quickly.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman they didn't recognize; she must be Sister-in-law Zhu, whom they had never seen before.

The eldest sister-in-law is shrewd, the second sister-in-law is timid and submissive, while the third sister-in-law looks very gloomy, making people feel very uncomfortable just by looking at her.

Yu Muhuai instantly understood why he hadn't seen Sister-in-law Zhu yesterday.

Seeing villagers like this only made the students more suspicious.

Upon seeing Yu Muhuai outside the door, Zhu Sansao's expression remained unchanged.

When she saw the other four students, her eyes widened in surprise.

It was as if I had seen four people who had died and come back to life.

Sister-in-law Zhu stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

She only snapped out of her daze when Yu Muhuai waved his hand in front of her.

"You...you all...why are you all back?"

Before the people behind him could speak, Yu Muhuai spoke up.

"Third Sister-in-law Zhu, can we come inside to talk? It's so hot outside, it's too hot to talk here."

As he spoke, Yu Muhuai fanned himself with his hand, seemingly feeling unbearably hot.

Who's outside?

Just then, Sister-in-law Zhu's voice suddenly rang out from inside the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhu turned around in alarm.

"Yes, it's Ahua."

"Ahua? What's she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be seeing off those students? Why is she back so soon?"

Not knowing how to phrase it, Third Sister-in-law Zhu simply said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, please come and take a look."

"What's wrong? Can't you even speak clearly?"

As she complained, Sister-in-law Zhu walked to the door.

At the same time, she opened the iron gate completely, exposing all five people outside to her view.

She spotted everyone at a glance.

Her reaction was even stronger than that of Sister-in-law Zhu; she instinctively jumped back a step.

"You...you guys...are those students?"

The other three remained silent, while Ye Xu'an nodded with a smile: "Yes, hello Sister-in-law Zhu, didn't we just meet this morning?"

Ye Xu'an's smile was very bright, but Sister-in-law Zhu seemed to have seen some kind of monster and involuntarily took a step back.

At this moment, the village chief inside the house also noticed the commotion at the gate.

Zhu Hongguang, thin and spirited, walked out with his hands behind his back and stood in front of the crowd.

He didn't react much, but instead looked at the four students behind Yu Muhuai with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

After a short while, Zhu Hongguang said in a gloomy voice, "Since you're back, come in and sit down." With that, he turned and walked into the house.

Yu Muhuai had already put herself in the shoes of the village girl, and made the same expression and demeanor as before.

Luo Ji stepped forward and walked to her side. The two looked at each other and then walked into the courtyard together.

The other three followed.

After Zhu Hongguang went inside, he whispered a few words to his sister-in-law.

Then Sister-in-law Zhu hurriedly left home.

Zhu Hongguang thought his voice was very faint, but Yu Muhuai still heard it.

"Go and call the second, third, and fourth brothers over quickly."

Fourth brother?

In my memory, Zhu Hongguang only had three sons, didn't he?
Who is the fourth brother?

After all five of them entered the courtyard, the village chief turned around and asked, "Didn't you say you went out to find the rescue team? Why are you back so soon? Where are the other students?"

Yu Muhuai frowned, pouted, and looked somewhat troubled.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I was planning to come back after I saw them off, but not long after, I saw the four of them at the foot of the mountain."

They said they got separated from the other students, but they were too tired and it was too sunny to walk, so they simply came back to our village.

I felt sorry for them, so I brought them back.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongguang's expression softened slightly.

He nodded and said, "Yes, the mountain roads near the village are a bit rugged and difficult to travel, so it's normal for a large group of people to get separated by accident."

Since we've made it back, it must be fate. Let's rest here for now.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xu'an said with a grin, "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. We figured since we'd already gotten separated, wandering around in the woods would be dangerous, so we might as well come back and wait for news from our classmates."

Luckily, we met little Ahua, otherwise we don't know how long we would have remained lost. We also want to thank Grandpa Village Chief for taking us in; I believe the students will be able to find the rescue team today.”

The village chief gave Ye Xu'an a deep look, then nodded and asked, "It's sunny outside. If you want to come in and rest, just come in."

Before Ye Xu'an could answer, Luo Ji spoke first.

"Village chief, how is our classmate Fang Wenjing doing?"

Zhu Hongguang's eyes flickered.

He quickly calmed down and said, "The situation has stabilized. I'm resting indoors now, and I should be feeling better in the next couple of days."

Luo Ji nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Is it convenient for us to go check on her now? We're worried about our classmate."

Zhu Hongguang frowned: "She just fell asleep and shouldn't be awake yet. Do you want to go see her now?"

Although it's a question, the meaning is quite clear.

She's a young woman sleeping, why are you going to disturb her?
Seeing this, Jian Ruibing stepped forward and said, "Village Chief, Fang Wenjing and I are close. I'd like to go and look after her, is that alright?"

Zhu Hongguang looked up and sized up the other person, and after a moment he snorted.

"Go ahead and go see it if you want. But if it delays your classmates' recovery, don't blame this old man for not telling you in advance."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the house, without caring whether the students wanted to come in or not.

Seeing this, Jian Ruibing followed directly.

When she reached the door, she realized that no one had followed her.

Jian Ruibing turned her head and looked over, asking with some confusion, "Aren't you going to go see Fang Wenjing together?"

She suggested going to see it because Luo Ji had asked, so she thought that Fang Wenjing might be hiding some clues.

Unexpectedly, Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji stood still in the same spot.

Luo Ji glanced at her and said indifferently, "It's inconvenient for boys, so I won't go."
