Ji Sisi rubbed the wolf cub’s soft head again, “It’s easy to feed a cheap life, not to mention that you’ve been injured so badly.”

The little wolf raised its head and howled, its voice crisp and childish.

"I'll just call you Little Gray, the least wolf-like wolf in the pack."

Ji Sisi patted its little head lightly, stood up and went to find a basin, poured all the Cordyceps she had dug today into the basin, took a small stool and sat in the yard, brushing the Cordyceps carefully with a small brush. She planned to wait for Zhang Qianjin to get off work before delivering it to him.

Xiao Huihui drank goat's milk and his belly became round and fatter than before. The hair around his mouth was covered with milk, like a white beard.

After drinking, he lay quietly at Ji Sisi's feet and accompanied her in brushing Cordyceps.

When Ji Sisi went to see it again, Xiao Huihui had already squinted his eyes and started to sleep, with the tip of his nose moving from time to time.

When the sun went down, all the Cordyceps in the winnowing basket was dried. Ji Sisi put them all in a bag and prepared to take it to Zhang Qianjin.

Xiao Huihui kept following Ji Sisi, and she almost stepped on it several times.

Ji Sisi shook her head helplessly. This little guy was really clingy. He looked like a dog, not a wolf.

The threshold of the house was too high and Xiao Huihui was too short. When it saw Ji Sisi had already walked out, it had not yet jumped over the threshold. Xiao Huihui was so anxious that it circled and barked at the door, as if to say that it had not yet made it over.

Ji Sisi walked for a distance, then turned back when she heard the call.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, isn't it better for you to stay at home and watch the door?"

Xiao Huihui barked twice again, as if refuting Ji Sisi.

Ji Sisi laughed angrily, carried it out and let Xiao Huihui follow behind. The setting sun stretched the shadows of the man and the wolf and reflected them on the ground, making the scene warm.

-

Zhang Qianjin was stunned when he saw Ji Sisi, then he looked at the bag in her hand and understood her intention. He heard a cry and his eyes fell on the little wolf at Ji Sisi's feet.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Where did you get a dog to raise? Did you send these herbs to the same store as last time?"

Ji Sisi nodded. "I picked up this dog on the grassland. I brought it back because it looked so injured and pitiful. I am sorry for bothering Brother Zhang twice. Next time, I will take the opportunity to go to the county town at the beginning of the month to avoid bothering Brother Zhang again."

Zhang Qianjin took the things, hesitated to speak, and looked at Ji Sisi with sympathy.

"It's no trouble. I'm just passing by, so it's just a matter of convenience. We're all family members in the same station, so it's normal for me to help you more. Moreover, Director Qi is not in the station now, so we colleagues should help you more."

The day before yesterday afternoon, the institute received a telegram reporting that Qi Yan and Fang Shiming were missing. Their whereabouts remain unknown and their lives or deaths are uncertain.

This piece of news created a very depressing atmosphere in the entire institute.

Ji Sisi noticed that there was something wrong with Zhang Qianjin's eyes, and his voice seemed to be hinting at something. Her intuition told her that it might be related to Qi Yan.

"Brother Zhang, how is Qi Yan and his team's mission going? Did they send a telegram saying when they will be back?"

Zhang Qianjin forced a stiff smile and looked away guiltily.

"Not yet, but don't worry, Director Qi will definitely come back."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Ji Sisi's face disappeared in an instant, and she already had the answer in her heart.

"That's good. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. It's getting late."

Ji Sisi found an excuse to leave.

Zhang Qianjin looked at Ji Sisi's leaving back, shook his head and sighed.

Alas, if Ji Sisi knew that Qi Yan encountered a spy, the mission was interrupted, and he disappeared, I guess she would be worried crazy.

Since nothing has been confirmed yet, he dare not say anything for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot at your doorstep?"

When Wang Cuicui came out, Ji Sisi had already left. Seeing Zhang Qianjin shaking his head at the air, she was confused.

Suddenly, Wang Cuicui looked straight at the small sack in Zhang Qianjin's hand again.

"What good stuff did the institute give out again? It's weird. Why are they giving out stuff during this holiday? Show me what you got."

Zhang Qianjin turned around and met Wang Cuicui's suspicious face. He suddenly felt tired, as if a mountain was pressing down on his back, making it hard for him to breathe.

Seeing that Zhang Qianjin didn't react, Wang Cuicui was about to grab it.

"Someone asked me to give this to a relative in the city tomorrow. How can I show it to you casually if it involves other people's privacy?" Zhang Qianjin walked past Wang Cuicui and entered the house. "Let's eat. You've been tired all day."

Wang Cuicui frowned, feeling something was wrong.

It’s not like Zhang Qianjin had brought things to other people before, but she had always checked it. This time he didn’t even dare to show her. Could it be that it belonged to some little bitch?

Wang Cuicui didn't say anything. She closed the door and planned to wait until Zhang Qianjin fell asleep at night before searching the bag to see what the treasure was. She was not even allowed to take a look.

-

Ji Sisi lay in bed at night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, her mind filled with the image of Zhang Qianjin feeling guilty during the day.

It seems that something happened to Qi Yan again.

Is he alive or dead now? According to the plot of the previous life, the news of Qi Yan's death should have come long ago. She had always thought that there was no news, which was also good news for her. At least there was hope for life.

But after seeing Zhang Qianjin's reaction today, Ji Sisi couldn't comfort herself.

Ji Sisi returned to the living room and pulled down the light cord. The dark living room suddenly became bright and Xiao Huihui ran out from under the table.

Ji Sisi felt the living room was a bit stuffy, so she opened the doors and windows to get some fresh air.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the moonlight is bright, the night sky is full of stars, and the frogs are croaking.

As soon as Xiao Huihui saw the moon, he couldn't control the genes in his bones and looked up at the moon and let out a howl.

"Ow~"

Ji Sisi reached out her hand and covered Xiao Huihui's mouth. "Shh, you can't call your parents over. I'll send you back when you recover."

Ji Sisi thought again that wolves are social animals, and the mother wolf can also find the little wolf by following the scent.

This time, there is a whole family coming, and she has no way to entertain them...

So Ji Sisi silently picked up Xiao Huihui and put him outside the door, "I'm sorry to have wronged you tonight."

After saying that, she quickly closed the doors and windows and hid back in the space.

The body is nothing in the face of fear. Ji Sisi instantly felt her body and mind unblocked, and there was no sense of stuffiness at all.

She was desperate to survive.

The next day, Ji Sisi went to report in the morning on Huang Qiaomei's bicycle as agreed with her the day before.

"Sisi, you're here so early, please come in and wait for me for a while."

Huang Qiaomei's small yard is full of vegetables, which are planted in different areas and are all seasonal vegetables.

"Aunt Sisi, good morning!"

Fu Weiming came out with a bowl of rice and did not forget to greet Ji Sisi.

"Eat your food, brat. The porridge in your bowl doesn't taste good. You want to eat bamboo shoots and fried pork, right? Who did you inherit this slow temperament from?"

Huang Qiaomei's urging voice scared Fu Weiming so much that he turned back to the living room and sat at the table obediently to eat breakfast.

Ji Sisi sat in the yard waiting for Huang Qiaomei.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go."

Huang Qiaomei raised her sleeve to wipe her mouth, with a small army green bag slung over her shoulder.

Huang Qiaomei's 28-bar bicycle was very large. Even though Ji Sisi was sitting on the back, there was still some space left. I guess it must have been used by Director Fu before.
