Liu Jie followed Lu Jing cautiously. She held her breath and stared closely at Lu Jing's every word and action.
These days, the Lu family's life is visibly good. The two children were originally thin and small, but in just one month, their faces actually gained weight and their complexions became better.
Everyone in the brigade said it was because Xia Zhiqing was rich, but if others didn't know, how could Liu Jie not know?
She had a good relationship with Su Linlin before and knew all about the little money in Xia Yao's hands. What kind of money could Xia Yao have in his hands? Weren't they all deceived by Su Linlin?
Although she didn't know if Xia Yao had gone crazy and suddenly became nice to the Lu family, she knew that Xia Yao had no money!
In this case, where does the Lu family's money come from? Who gave those two brats the money to eat meat? Who else could it be besides Lu Jing?
Liu Jie was sure that Lu Jing went up to the mountains to hunt and speculate on the black market to get the money, but she never dared to move because Lu Jing was not that easy to deal with and she had to have someone investigate first.
As the Tian family failed one after another, she became more certain of her suspicions.
So today, she couldn't hold back and secretly followed Lu Jing.
Seeing Lu Jing walking deeper and deeper, and the surrounding trees getting taller and taller, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, but Liu Jie's heart would beat loudly as soon as she thought of her future rewards.
Yes!
As long as she can catch Lu Jing and get the stolen goods, then she can marry him and go to the city!
With this idea in mind, Liu Jie followed Lu Jing step by step, her eyes full of excitement.
But before she could get excited, Lu Jing disappeared after turning a corner.
For a moment, Liu Jie's whole body froze.
Her eyes kept flickering, and she tried her best to calm herself down.
From the time she followed Lu Jing, she had been careful every step she took, so she would not be discovered by Lu Jing! It must have been because she wasn't paying attention that Lu Jing left her sight!
Liu Jie comforted herself in her heart for a while, and then she managed to cheer up.
She was now deep in the mountains, and everywhere she saw towering trees and fallen leaves full of rotten smells made her feel uneasy, as if a wild beast would appear the next moment.
Once she thought of this, Liu Jie became uneasy.
There are actually a lot of rumors about the back mountain, and it is said that there are giant insects eating people there!
Liu Jie's scalp was numb and she shouted quickly.
"Lu Jing! Lu Jing!"
"I know you're here!"
Her inner fear was vented through loud shouting, but the entire back mountain was silent and no one responded to her.
Liu Jie's face turned pale and she tried to return along the same path. However, she stared at Lu Jing all the way and didn't have time to leave a mark. Looking around, every direction was exactly the same. How could she know which side was the way down the mountain?
As a result, Liu Jie trembled all over.
She took a deep breath and tried to find a way out.
However, at this moment, a faint and familiar call attracted her attention.
"Help……"
"Help!"
Meanwhile, others were shouting for help.
Each sound was fainter than the last, but when Liu Jie listened carefully, her eyes immediately widened.
"Brother Lin Jin!"
Liu Jie screamed and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
In the huge pit, Lin Jin was lying in a miserable state. Although there was no injury on his body, his face was so pale that it reflected light.
Beside him, there were several familiar faces to Liu Jie.
Lin Jin was trapped in this trap for a full day. He tried to ask for help, but this was a deep mountain forest, and the person he shouted might not be someone.
Several companions wanted to shout loudly, but he stopped them. There are wild boars here!
So he suppressed his fear and watched as day turned into night, and night turned into day.
During this period, he didn't dare to say a word, for fear of provoking something he shouldn't.
Since his father became the director of the Revolutionary Committee, when had he suffered such a serious crime?
Until just now, he heard Liu Jie's voice.
Liu Jie had just gotten engaged to him, and it was very simple for him to agree to be with Liu Jie. The first was because Liu Jie was pretty good-looking, and the second was because Liu Jie was from the Qingshui Brigade.
He has always wanted to make a career and show his father that he is not inferior to his elder brother in everything.
Hearing Liu Jie's voice, Lin Jin finally dared to speak out, but this night passed, he didn't drink a drop of water, and his voice was hoarse.
Fortunately, Liu Jie heard his voice.
"Brother Lin Jin!"
Liu Jie's eyes were filled with tears.
"Why are you here?"
When mentioning this matter, Lin Jin's eyes were full of evil.
But now is not the time to talk, he said hoarsely: "Hurry up and pull me up!"
Liu Jie nodded immediately and was about to start taking action.
But when she tried to pull Lin Jin up, she realized how difficult it was.
The pit was three people high. Even if she went down, she might not be able to pull Lin Jin up.
For a moment, Liu Jie froze on the spot.
"Look for the rope! Find the vine!"
"Are you stupid? You don't know this? Do you still want to drag us up alone?"
Lin Jin's voice was almost on fire, but seeing Liu Jie's helpless look, he couldn't help but curse.
Liu Jie felt aggrieved, but she still lowered her head.
"Okay." Liu Jie nodded quickly and looked around.
Now she doesn't dare to leave here, so she can only use local materials.
In the dense woods, Xia Yao crouched behind a thick tree trunk. Seeing Liu Jie's embarrassed look, he let out a light sigh: "You are so powerful."
"I originally thought there was only one Liu Jie, but I didn't expect there were so many people in the pit."
"What did you do yesterday?"
Xia Yao stared at Liu Jie, but what he said was to Lu Jing beside him.
Just when Lin Jin was calling for help, Lu Jing came to her side.
As expected of a golden thigh, not only could he discover Liu Jie's whereabouts, but he could not even hide her whereabouts.
"They brought it upon themselves." Lu Jing said coldly, his eyes filled with coldness.
Whether it was Liu Jie, Lin Jin or others, if they hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him, he would never have wasted his time on them.
"I know." Xia Yao waved his hand, "But you have to think clearly. Their group is following you, and Liu Jie is also following you."
"When they communicate with each other, your existence will no longer be hidden."
"So what?" Lu Jing replied coldly, "I never thought about hiding myself."
In the eyes of these people, no matter what he does, he is guilty. It is better to be bold so that these guys who bully the weak and fear the strong can have some scruples.
Xia Yao finished watching the excitement and lost interest.
"Let's go, we have to go to Shangyang Brigade today."
"Shangyang Brigade?"
Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard Xia Yao's words.
