Xie Kang and Xie Tai's residence was arranged near the back mountain. Some trees were cut down when clearing the back mountain two days ago. Xie Dachun led people to build a simple wooden house. As the weather gradually became warmer, it was no problem to build a wooden house here to live in.

They just slept in the wooden house, and had to go back to the Xie family's yard for meals. Mrs. Li would prepare meals for them. Because the fruit tree seedlings had not been delivered yet, the two of them still followed the people from Xie's village to go up the mountain to clean up things.

Xie Songlin also specifically instructed that if anyone found any unfamiliar plants, they could bring them back for him to take a look first.

As the days passed, Xie Kang and Xie Tai gradually adapted to life in the Xie family, and under the careful care of Xie Wanxing and others, the wounds on Afei's back had healed a lot, and most of them had begun to scab over.

Because he was well enough to get up, Xie Wanxing didn't dare to use medical tape to save trouble when changing his dressing. Instead, she used ancient bandages to wrap him up. This bandage was not as convenient as medical tape. It was not only time-consuming, but also difficult to control the tightness of the bandage if one was not careful. This made changing the dressing even more troublesome. Once, he suddenly moved and almost scared her and Cheng Hui to death. Fortunately, he did not wake up in the end.

However, Xie Lan almost entered the house in the backyard once, but was discovered and stopped in time by Xie Wanxing, who pestered him and coaxed and deceived him into taking Xie Lan away.

Xie Wanxing was tired, she felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to defend herself.

"Dad, Mom, please think of a way to give Ah Fei a better life. It would be nice if he could get out and bask in the sun. You can't keep him locked up in that room every day." Xie Wanxing propped up his chin in distress. "Besides, I always feel that my eldest brother will go there in the future."

Cheng Hui asked, "Can he get out of bed now?"

"It's OK, and it won't be a problem if I get up and move around a little."

"Okay, I have an idea." Cheng Hui raised her eyebrows and said, "I just don't know how good his acting skills are."

"What are you going to act out?" The father and daughter looked at Cheng Hui at the same time, their eyes full of confusion.

Cheng Hui said, "Tomorrow, find a time to have him sneak to the village entrance, and then have him pretend to be a stranger who has come to the village to look for relatives. Our villagers are always enthusiastic. If they see him wandering around the village entrance, they will definitely go up to ask questions. Then have the villagers bring him to my house. Tell others that he is my distant nephew and push his identity onto your grandmother's side. Anyway, no one on your grandmother's side can be contacted, and the villagers will have no way to verify it."

Xie Wanxing fully supported this plan: "Mom, you are so smart."

Xie Songlin also nodded and agreed with the plan: "Well, this plan is indeed good."

Xie Songlin thought for a moment and felt that the plan had to be implemented as soon as possible, so he immediately walked towards the backyard. He explained the general situation to Afei, from how he was asked to sneak into the village entrance and pretend to be a person looking for relatives, to how he was taken home by the villagers and said to be Cheng Hui's distant nephew, etc.

Afei listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and was looking forward to this plan. Although he could not leave for the time being due to his serious injury, he felt extremely happy to be able to walk freely in the yard and bask in the sun.

Because he was about to expose Afei to the public, the risks involved had to be carefully considered. Xie Song paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally stopped to look at Afei and asked, "Afei, you really are not a fugitive or something like that, right?"

"Uncle Xie, I really wasn't." Ah Fei was stunned at first, with a look of confusion on his face. Then he assured Xie Songlin, "Don't worry, you and Aunt Cheng saved my life. I will never repay kindness with hatred and put you in danger."

A Fei paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he continued, "Although I can't tell you my identity yet, I swear to you that I have no hidden identity. We're being hunted because my friend and I discovered a big secret. But my friend should have already run back for help. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll definitely come back to look for me in a while."

Xie Songlin listened quietly, and finally said, "Okay, I believe you."

The dawn was just breaking, and the sky was turning pale. Xiejia Village was still shrouded in a light morning mist, but many diligent young wives had already gotten up to prepare breakfast. Smoke from the cooking stove rose up, intertwining with the morning mist, and gradually the aroma of food filled the air.

As planned, Ah Fei carefully infiltrated the village entrance. His steps were a little unsteady, his injuries still unhealed. He changed into a worn-out set of clothes that Xie Songlin had found for him. He stood under the old tree at the village entrance, his expression dazed and a little anxious, constantly looking towards the road leading into the village.

If Xie Wanxing were here, he would definitely sigh: Young man, your acting skills are amazing!

Soon, villagers who had gotten up early to work passed by one after another. Ah Fei saw someone approaching and hurried forward to greet them. He asked cautiously, "Uncle, I'd like to ask, is this Xiejia Village?"

Coincidentally, the person he stopped was Xie Dachun. He looked Afei up and down and replied, "Yes, it's you?" Although the young man looked a little dusty, his aura was extraordinary. His eyes were clear and bright, and his posture was upright. He really didn't look like a farmer. Xie Dachun was secretly puzzled, but he still had a kind smile on his face.

Ah Fei's face suddenly showed excitement. He stepped forward and tightly grasped Xie Dachun's arm. "Uncle, do you know if there is an aunt surnamed Cheng who married into this village?"

Xie Dachun went through the names of all the villagers in his mind. Xiejia Village was not big, but not small either. Since his father was the village chief, he could remember most of the villagers' names. However, there were not many people with the surname Cheng. After thinking about it, there was only one, and that was Cheng, the wife of his good brother Xie Songlin.

He looked up at Ah Fei and said slowly, "As for someone with the surname Cheng, I can think of one. Are you here looking for relatives?"

"Yes, I'm here to look for my aunt, Cheng Hui." Ah Fei quickly replied, his voice filled with excitement, his eyes instantly lighting up. "Uncle, do you know her?"

Xie Dachun: "I actually know him..."

Ah Fei was overjoyed when he heard this. His already bright eyes sparkled even brighter. "Really? Is my aunt home? Is she doing well? Could you please take me there?"

Although Xie Dachun was a little skeptical, after all, the young man looked unfamiliar and he had never heard Cheng Hui mention having such a nephew before, but the boy said Cheng Hui's name accurately, and looking at the child's eager and sincere eyes, it didn't seem like he was lying.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to bring him over to let Cheng Hui take a look.
