The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"This..." The gray-clothed man frowned, then shook his head. "To be honest, I don't know who was sent down, or where they are now. I only know that the Nie family is very busy right now."

"Brother, do you know what the Nie family is busy with?" Qiao Xi asked hurriedly.

They're not destroying evidence, are they? If the evidence is destroyed, it will be very difficult to deal with.

But she suddenly remembered what she had heard about the Nie family in the carriage on her way here today. If the Nie family really had been mining illegally, then destroying the mine would be impossible even if they wanted to.

Both of them shook their heads.

The man in gray clothes said slowly, "We really don't know about this."

Qiao Xi looked at him with confusion: "Then how do you know that the Nie family is so busy right now, big brother?"

The gray-clad man glanced at her calmly and said, "Because there have been so many people coming in and out of the Nie family recently."

Seeing that they had no more information and didn't hear what she wanted to hear, Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she didn't show it.

Just when she was unsure whether to stay for tea or say goodbye, she suddenly heard the system's voice.

[Host, the target you are locating has been fixed and you can start locating. Do you want to continue locating? ]

Hearing that the system could locate Xu Yi's position, Qiao Xi didn't care about anything else. She drank the tea in the bowl directly, then said goodbye to the two men, paid the bill and left the tea shop.

After finding a deserted place, she quietly asked the system to turn on the positioning.

[Navigation is positioning, please wait... Positioning is complete, please follow the navigation instructions. Navigation prompt: Since the journey is quite long, please be mentally prepared!]

Hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised. She didn't expect the navigation system to be so considerate and even give reminders for long distances.

After being surprised, she suddenly felt angry. If this navigation system had a warning function, why didn't it warn her about the danger of wolves when she went up the mountain? It caused her and Xu Yi to almost become wolf food that day.

Although she was angry, she still endured it, because this navigation was very useful to her now.

After adjusting her breathing, Qiao Xi did not immediately follow the navigation instructions to look for Xu Yi, but instead went into a nearby shop.

She used the money from selling ginseng to buy a water bag, then found a deserted place, quickly entered the space, filled the water bag with water from the stream in the space, and then set out to find Xu Yi.

Following the navigation instructions, she arrived at the gate of Lingxiao City and took a carriage back to Xuliu Village.

Xu Yi is back home?

Qiao Xi was about to be happy when the navigation suddenly told her to go the other way.

Looking at the direction the navigation told her, Qiao Xi's eyes twitched slightly.

This direction is completely opposite to Xu Liu Village.

What was Xu Yi doing there? Furthermore, in the original owner's memory, it seemed he had never been there before, and he didn't know where it led to.

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly saw someone coming from the other side. Judging from his attire, he looked like a hunter.

She adjusted her veil, walked over a few steps, pointed behind the man, and said politely, "Excuse me, big brother, what is that place over there?"

Hearing her speak, the man raised his head and looked at Qiao Xi in surprise, his tone a little uncertain: "Are you asking me?"

Josie smiled and nodded.

"Oh!" The hunter said suddenly, and then slowly replied to her, "That's Spring Mountain. Miss, are you going there?"

Qiao Xi was about to nod, but seeing the hunter's gloomy face, as if he had something to hide, she smiled and changed the subject.

"No, I'm just curious. What's the matter? Can't we go to Chunshan?"

Hearing that she couldn't go, the hunter's expression improved a little.

After a slight hesitation, she stammered, "It's very dangerous there. It's best not to go there as a girl."

"Dangerous? How dangerous?"

Qiao Xi looked at him with wide eyes and asked quickly.

The hunter thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say how dangerous this is. Anyway, don't go."

Seeing that he couldn't explain it, Qiao Xi could only guess: "Is it some kind of wild animal?"

Otherwise, what dangers would there be on the mountain?

The hunter shook his head. "Not only that, there are even more dangerous beasts. Seriously, young lady, take my advice. Don't go. I have something else to do, so I won't tell you."

After saying that, the hunter seemed to be in a hurry and almost ran away.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but become suspicious. Why did he seem to be afraid of something? But she was sure that he was definitely not afraid of Chunshan.

No, Xu Yi is going that way, so he would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi didn't dare to waste any more time and hurried over there.

But she walked quickly for nearly half an hour and still hadn't reached her destination.

"Cuckoo..."

She stopped by the roadside to rest, but her stomach began to protest again.

Qiao Xi then remembered that she hadn't eaten anything since morning.

When she bought the water bag, she actually forgot to buy some snacks to cushion her stomach.

Well, now I am starving and I don’t know how far I have to walk. Qiao Xi suddenly feels weak and can’t walk anymore.

No, she had to find something to eat. But what could she find in this desolate place?

Qiao Xi curled her lips and looked around. There were only trees and weeds. There was no food to eat.

Despite her thoughts, she still went into the woods obediently to see if she could find some wild fruits to eat.

Qiao Xi dug through one pile of weeds after another, and finally her hard work paid off, and she actually found some wild fruits.

There are some leftover fruit cores around, probably eaten by small animals.

Small animals have always been sensitive to these things. If they can eat them, then humans can naturally eat them too.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi rubbed the wild fruit on her body and put it into her mouth without hesitation.

After eating all the food in this pile of grass, her hunger did not ease, so she had to go to other piles of weeds to look for food.

She soon found it again.

She was eating happily when she suddenly heard some noise around her.

Having been attacked by wolves, she subconsciously thought she had encountered a wild beast again, and hurriedly hid in the weeds, trying her best to hide herself and not daring to move.

And she prayed in her heart that the wild beasts would not discover her and that they would not see her.

……

"Brother, do you think the Nie family will be alright?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? Okay, stop talking nonsense and do what the young master ordered."

"Hey, good!"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi, who was hiding in the weeds, did not wait for any wild beasts, but instead waited for human voices.

Judging from the sound, it seemed like there were only two people.

She carefully pulled aside a little grass and looked through the gap towards the source of the sound.

Soon, she saw two figures walking towards her. Judging from their figures, they should be two strong men.

Although she knew they were human, Qiao Xi still didn't dare to come out because her sixth sense told her that those two people were not good people.

As the people approached, Qiao Xi was very glad that she didn't go out.

It was because she had seen one of them before, and it was Sun Kui, who was under Nie Guizhou that day.

Why are they here?

Spring Mountain? Mountain?

mine?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Qiao Xi's mind. She looked at the mountain behind the two people in disbelief, wondering whether this was "good luck" or "bad luck" for her.
