Li Mo'er suppressed a laugh and told them the method. She saw them look at each other, but neither of them moved.

Li Mo'er was puzzled. She could have just cooked a bowl of porridge, so why was she not moving now?

Li Mo'er wanted to say, "If you don't believe me, fine," and was just about to turn around and leave when she saw a magical scene.

When she turned her head, she saw that Xi Gou and Shou Hou had started playing rock-paper-scissors. The winner would go, and the loser would stay and watch over the village.

Li Mo'er shook her head helplessly. They were so afraid that she would sneak away from the village.

In the end, Skinny Monkey won, and Greyhound resigned himself to staying. Before Skinny Monkey left, he specifically told him to come back soon.

Li Mo'er glanced at the wary greyhound, then turned and left. Although she wanted to leave, it wasn't now.

Putting aside the fact that Shen Ziche is still unconscious, Wang Cheng and the coachman are both lacking in strength, so they can only consider this matter after they have fully recovered.

On the way back, Li Mo'er carefully examined the village. The village was spacious and well-located, situated on a vital route for goods transportation.

Perhaps before, she wanted to find the leader and ask him to let them leave, but now she doesn't think that way anymore. She wants to develop Tiger Head Mountain into her salt factory.

As she was thinking, she followed her memory to the door of the chief's room, but the room was completely dark.

Li Mo'er guessed that the leader must have gone to sleep, so she could only go to find Shen Ziche.

However, after wandering around inside for so long, she seemed to be lost, and she even doubted that what she had just seen was the chief's room.

But none of that matters. She needs to go back to her room now; she can't sleep outside.

She only remembered that she didn't blow out the candles when she left the room.

She could only see which room still had light; that was the room she had to stay in.

She saw a room with a light on not far from her and excitedly walked over.

After looking closely, um~ there's a small potted plant by the door, so it must be her room.

She pushed the door open forcefully.

!!!

The door wouldn't budge; it wouldn't open.

She thought Shen Ziche had woken up and was scared, so she locked the door from the inside.

She knocked gently on the door, worried about startling Shen Ziche inside.

"Ah Che, it's me, open the door."

Her voice was too soft for the second-in-command inside to hear; he only heard the knocking.

He was just about to go to sleep when he heard someone pushing the door open. Thinking it was Xi Gou and the others, he impatiently went to open the door.

He opened the door, and before he could even see who it was, he launched into a tirade.

"Is this ever going to end? Didn't I tell you? If you have nowhere to stay, go find somewhere else to live..."

Halfway through his speech, the second-in-command realized that the person opposite him was not Xi Gou.

When he realized it was Li Mo'er, he immediately fell silent.

"Madam Li, is there anything I can help you with?"

The second-in-command's tone instantly softened, and he asked with a grin.

Li Mo'er was initially stunned, then she was given a thorough scolding by the second-in-command, and she didn't even have time to react.

She couldn't help but admire how quickly the second-in-command changed his expression; even Sichuan opera actors couldn't do it as well.

"I'm lost."

Upon hearing this, the second-in-command immediately went out to lead the way for Li Mo'er.

Li Mo'er glanced at the second-in-command, who was only wearing his undergarments, her eyes full of doubt.

Won't I be cold wearing this out?

Before she could even speak, she was interrupted by the second-in-command's scream.

"Aaaaah—you pervert!"

After saying that, he glared at Li Mo'er, turned around and went inside to put on his coat.

He had mistaken it for a greyhound, which was why he hadn't put on his coat. When he saw it was Li Mo'er, he was startled and forgot about it.

Even though it was his problem, that woman shouldn't be staring at him like that.

Before putting on his outer garment, the second-in-command made a point of going to the candle to check and make sure he couldn't see his inner garment before he felt relieved.

He was still furious when he left the room. He saw Li Mo'er sitting on the steps, but he didn't say anything and just walked ahead of her.

Seeing him like this, Li Mo'er quickly got up and followed him, afraid that if she lost him, she would never be able to find him again.

As soon as Li Mo'er caught up with the second-in-command, she saw him stop and look in the direction he was pointing to see the brightly lit room.

Just as Li Mo'er was about to thank the second-in-command, she saw that he had already turned and left.

She had no choice but to turn around and go into the room; she still wanted to thank him.

She looked at Shen Ziche on the bed, who showed no signs of waking up.

After a long day, she was exhausted. She wanted to squeeze onto the bed with Shen Ziche to rest, but she was worried that he would mind.

Later, she wanted to find a blanket to sleep on the floor, but she was worried that he would be scared if he woke up and couldn't see her.

So she sat on the floor and fell asleep by the bed.

next morning

Li Mo'er was awakened by a series of clanging sounds. When she went out, she saw that everyone in the village was busy.

Some people were hanging lanterns, and some were putting up "double happiness" characters. It seems they really were planning to hold a wedding for themselves and their boss.

Li Mo'er was worried that if the wedding actually went ahead, and she didn't like the other person, wouldn't that just cause trouble for them?

When she turned around to look for the leader, she saw Wang Cheng and the coachman in the crowd.

The two of them were happily helping them hang the lanterns.
