In the next few days, Shi Qingqian was taken care of carefully by her family every day.

On Wang Zhiyong's side, after bringing the items moved out of the cellar back to the police station, he organized experts to conduct a detailed study of these items.

However, the discussion in the village about the supplies left behind by the Japanese army has not diminished at all.

We always get together to chat after work.

However, while everyone was chatting casually, Xu Xiaohua and Fang Yi were very panicked.

Others might simply be curious about the police's sudden discovery of the cellar in the back mountain, but Xu Xiaohua heard her father say that the cellar was discovered by Shi Qingqian when she accidentally fell down the mountain that night.

This news was like a huge rock hitting her and Fang Yi's heads, leaving them stunned.

If Shi Qingqian was also in the back mountain that night, wouldn’t she have seen everything they did there?

How can that work.

If this matter gets out, their reputation will be ruined, and they may even be accused of having an affair.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaohua bit her lip and looked at Fang Yi anxiously from time to time.

At this time, Fang Yi also had a frown on his face, his heart a mess.

In addition to worrying about his reputation, Fang Yi didn't really want to marry Xu Xiaohua.

Although Xu Xiaohua is pretty, she is still inferior to Su Feifei, a city girl, and she is also a country girl. In Fang Yi's heart, country girls are not worthy of him, an educated youth from the city.

He just wanted to use her life in the village to make it easier for him, and maybe he could get a chance to return to the city with the help of Xu Xiaohua's father in the future.

All kinds of terrible thoughts kept flashing through their minds. If Shi Qingqian really saw them rolling on the grass together, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Su Feifei noticed that Fang Yi looked unwell and asked with concern, "Why is your head sweating so much? Did you get heatstroke?"

Fang Yi was brought back to reality by Su Feifei's voice. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Maybe the sun is a little too strong today, and it's a little hot."

Su Feifei frowned and said in disbelief, "Is it really just like that? Don't hide it from me."

Fang Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "Really Feifei, don't worry, I'm going to drink some water and will be back soon."

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Su Feifei nodded in agreement.

Fang Yi walked under the big tree and saw that Su Feifei didn't notice him, so he walked past Xu Xiaohua.

As soon as he walked away, Xu Xiaohua immediately found an excuse to follow him.

When they reached a deserted place, Xu Xiaohua glared at Fang Yi fiercely and said in a low voice, "It's all your fault. You insisted on pestering me to go to the back mountain. Now look what's going on. If Shi Qingqian tells others about this, we'll all be doomed."

Fang Yi was a little impatient: "It was consensual at that time. How can you blame me now? Now is not the time to talk about this."

"Brother Fang Yi, what should we do? If Shi Qingqian tells others about our affairs, then we..."

Xu Xiaohua's voice was tearful, and her hands were twisting the corners of her clothes anxiously.

Fang Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He looked at Xu Xiaohua and said in a low voice, "We can't be sure whether she has seen us or not, but we can't just sit there and wait. We have to think of a way."

"What can you do?" Xu Xiaohua asked helplessly.

Fang Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "Shi Qingqian is your cousin's wife. I heard she fell down the mountain and was seriously injured. You should go see her and test her to see if she saw what happened to us that night."

"But...but...I don't dare," Xu Xiaohua retreated a little.

Fang Yi said angrily, "Don't dare, don't dare, what's there to be afraid of? Are you just waiting for her to spread our affairs?"

Xu Xiaohua didn't expect Fang Yi to yell at her so suddenly. Tears welled up in her eyes and she sobbed, "I'm just scared. What if she really saw it? If I ask her, wouldn't that be like admitting it?"

"Besides, what if she tells others? The worst that can happen is that my father will scold her. Maybe for the sake of reputation, my father will agree to let me marry you."

When Fang Yi heard what Xu Xiaohua said, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. He didn't want to be pestered by Xu Xiaohua, but now he had to keep her hanging.

He quickly put on a gentle expression and gently held Xu Xiaohua's hand.

"Xiaohua, don't say that," Fang Yi's voice was so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out of it. "It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's just that the conditions don't allow it right now."

"You know, I'm an educated youth, penniless, unfamiliar with the place, and have no way back to the city. How can I be qualified to marry a girl like you? If I ask your father to marry you now, wouldn't that make you suffer with me?"

Xu Xiaohua looked at Fang Yi with tears in her eyes. After hearing what he said, the grievance in her heart was slightly relieved.

Seeing that Xu Xiaohua's mood had eased, Fang Yi continued, "I have you in my heart. When I return to the city and arrange everything, I will definitely marry you in a grand ceremony."

"We have to solve the current trouble first. If Shi Qingqian really saw what we did and she accidentally told others, I don't want to marry you just like that."

"Just think of it as a test for our future, okay?"

Xu Xiaohua bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, Brother Fang Yi, I'll listen to you."

Fang Yi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but his face still showed deep affection. "Xiaohua, you're so kind. When this is over, I will definitely make it up to you."

The two of them hugged each other for a while before returning to the field.

……

Ever since Shi Qingqian was injured, she has been doing nothing but lying in bed or lying on the sofa.

Zhang Lanxiang didn't want her to do anything else.

Miss Shi, who had always thought that food and clothes would be provided for her, began to feel guilty.
