At a glance, Li Jiaojiao immediately put on a cute and cuddly look, her voice soft and coy: "Morning, Mr. Si."

Si Chengxu didn't even bother to look at her. The pungent smell made him annoyed, and he slammed the door shut again.

Li Jiaojiao was obviously stunned. What happened to Mr. Si? She remembered that when she came for the first time, he looked at her for a long time. Could it be that Mr. Si was angry because she came too little?

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed possible, but the door was closed and she couldn't just knock on a man's door.

She stomped her feet in anger and went to find Sun. Sun was a kind person. Although she didn't like Li Jiaojiao very much, she still talked to her in a casual manner.

After that, Li Jiaojiao suddenly came very frequently, either in the morning or in the afternoon. Li Xiaoxiao was simply annoyed by it, and every time it was Sun and Li Ruolan who opened the door for her.

She came and sat for a while and then left without doing anything. Li Xiaoxiao became alert. If someone was being too attentive for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief. She wanted to see what was going on.

The breeze was blowing gently as Si Chengxu stood in the forest. He had a slender and well-proportioned figure, and his long black hair was tied up with a black headband. He was always calm and composed, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Master." A handsome man in black clothes knelt on one knee with a respectful tone behind him.

After a long while, Si Chengxu's cold voice came from above his head: "Go and find out Li Jiaojiao's purpose, and protect Li Xiaoxiao from a distance. Remember, don't get too close to her."

"Yes, I obey your command." The man in black took the order and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

About a quarter of an hour later, the man in black came back.

"Master, it was Zhang Wenbin and Li Chengcai who conspired to ruin the little girl's innocence, so they sent Li Jiaojiao to check on the little girl's whereabouts every day." The man in black told all the information he had received, and when he said the last word, he clearly sensed the oppression coming from Si Chengxu.

"Send a few more people to ensure Xiaoxiao's safety. As for Li Chengcai, don't worry about him. Let Xiaoxiao take them in himself." Si Chengxu narrowed his black eyes and spoke in a low and hoarse voice, different from his usual calm tone.

The man in black knew that the master was angry, so he didn't dare to say anything and left quickly. The consequences of the master's anger were very serious.

After being idle at home for several days, Li Xiaoxiao decided to go up the mountain.

She had originally thought of going to the mountains, but Li Jiaojiao came to her house every day. If she didn't come back for a few days in the mountains, she was afraid that something might happen to her.

Si Chengxu seems to be very busy recently. He appears and disappears mysteriously, sometimes not being seen for half a day.

I don’t know if it’s because she is a time traveler and has the aura of a protagonist, but Li Xiaoxiao feels that she is quite lucky and can gain a lot every time she goes up the mountain.

This time, he actually hunted a female goat that was about to give birth. It had blue-gray fur, was tall, and looked very strong. Because it was about to give birth, the ewe moved clumsily, so it didn't take much effort to catch it. Li Xiaoxiao was in a very happy mood.

After putting the goat into the space, Li Xiaoxiao strolled around casually and picked some herbs. He would send them to Renhetang when he had time. Pheasants and rabbits were the most common in this area and he could catch them every time he came.

When they got down the mountain, Li Xiaoxiao had two chickens in his left hand, two rabbits in his right hand, and a wild goat on his back. When he got home, he found Li Jiaojiao was there too.

Li Jiaojiao was surprised. She knew that Li Xiaoxiao would go up the mountain to hunt, but she didn't expect that she was so strong and could catch so many prey.

"Xiao Xiao, did you hunt all these by yourself?"

Li Xiaoxiao gave her an idiotic look: "If it's not me, how could it be you?"

"No, of course it's not me, it's just that you are so awesome." When Li Jiaojiao saw these preys, what she thought in her heart was that if the family had not split up, these things would have eventually fallen into their family. What a pity, what a pity.

"Do you feel regretful? If the family hadn't split up, these things would all belong to you." Li Xiaoxiao looked at her with amusement, as if she had guessed what she was thinking.

Li Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide in shock. How could Li Xiaoxiao know what she was thinking just now? Then she realized that Li Xiaoxiao might be deceiving her, so she smiled awkwardly: "Look at what you said. Although we have separated, we are still a family. Now your family is living a good life, I am happy for you."

What a white lotus! She speaks so righteously and her acting skills are first-rate. If the original owner were still alive, maybe people would really believe her, but she is not the original owner, so naturally she won't believe it.

After handing the rabbit and pheasant over to Sun, Li Xiaoxiao carefully checked the injury of the goat. She had shot an arrow in the goat's hind leg, but the wound was not too deep. As the goat was about to give birth to a lamb, she did not plan to sell it. There was room at home, so she kept it.

As for the collected herbs, Li Xiaoxiao decided to take them to the county town to sell them in the afternoon.

"Xiaoxiao, are there herbs in this backpack?" Li Jiaojiao looked at the things in Li Xiaoxiao's backpack curiously.

"Yeah." Li Xiaoxiao really didn't want to pay attention to her, but she hadn't figured out her purpose yet, so she could only endure it.

Li Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it disappeared in an instant. After saying a few more words, Li Jiaojiao stood up and left.

Not long after Li Jiaojiao returned home, Li Chengcai quickly left Li's house and went to the county town.

After lunch, Li Xiaoxiao came to the county town on a ox cart, carrying a backpack with two wild rabbits at the bottom and herbs on top. Si Chengxu was nowhere to be found, as he had not been seen since he came down the mountain.

She sold the rabbit first and then went to the medicine shop. Li Xiaoxiao had been there several times and was already very familiar with the place. The waiter enthusiastically weighed the herbs for her. As the herbs she collected were of relatively good quality, the shopkeeper said that he would accept any herbs she brought to the store.

After leaving the pharmacy, Li Xiaoxiao always felt that someone was following her. She looked back from time to time, but didn't see anyone. Could it be that she was having an illusion?

Having just sold a few hundred coins at the pharmacy, Li Xiaoxiao was thinking about what else her family needed, so she went into the grocery store again. When she came out, she was holding two boxes of snacks in her hands.

Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go back first. She had been to the county town many times and was familiar with the nearby roads. Zhang San's ox cart was some distance away, so Li Xiaoxiao thought of taking a shortcut.

Holding something in his hand, he turned a corner and entered an empty alley. Suddenly, two people appeared from behind, holding wooden sticks and smashed them on Li Xiaoxiao's head.

***

In a simple inn, Li Chengcai was walking in front, the dim light blocking the joy on his face that he could not hide at the moment. Zhang Wenbin followed behind him and walked straight to the door of a room.

"Young master, Xiaoxiao is waiting for you in the room. A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. Please come in quickly." Li Chengcai looked flattering.

"Well, after the matter is done, you will definitely get some benefits. Let's do the next thing." Zhang Wenbin patted his shoulder with an obscene look on his face, and pushed open the door. Instantly, the strong smell of cassia bark filled his nose.
