"Li Qian, where have all the people in the village gone?"
It was Mrs. Zhang who appeared in a panic.
It turned out that she got herself drunk last night, and she was very drunk. The big noise before did not wake her up. As for Hou San's explanation of telling her to keep an eye on Li Qian, she had already forgotten it.
When she woke up, she found that everyone in the village was gone.
She vaguely remembered that she had heard the sound of gongs, so she came to the grain drying field to have a look.
But he only saw Li Qian.
But she didn't care where the others went. As long as Li Qi'an didn't disappear, she was relieved.
"I remember you said yesterday that you wanted to leave Beiba Village. Why, you couldn't bear to leave?" Li Qian just said lightly.
Mrs. Zhang squeezed a smile and said, "It's still early today, Li Qian, what are you doing sitting here?"
"Waiting for someone!" Li Qian said.
"Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?" Zhang was stunned for a moment.
Why is it so strange today? Everyone in the village has disappeared, and why is Li Qi'an the only one left?
"Who do you think I'm waiting for?" Li Qian said lazily, stretching.
Zhang's expression suddenly changed, "Li Qian, do you know everything?"
"What do I know?" Li Qian asked.
"No, it's nothing." Zhang turned around and left.
She was a little scared. Maybe Li Qian overheard her conversation with Hou San last night.
There is no one in the village now. Even if Li Qian kills her, no one will see her.
That bastard Hou San is really a jerk. He won't come back all night. Do you want to leave me alone?
Although she didn't know why there was no one in the village, something was obviously wrong.
"Where are you going?"
Li Qian's voice floated over, causing Zhang's footsteps to freeze.
She turned back stiffly and forced a smile, "Li Qian, I am just a woman, so please don't embarrass me."
"Is this embarrassing for you?" Li Qian stood up, "I think I warned you yesterday. If I see you again, I don't need to tell you the consequences!"
Seeing Li Qian walking towards her step by step, Zhang was so frightened that her legs went weak.
With a plop, he knelt on the ground.
"Li Qian, please spare me!"
"Have you told Hou San everything I said yesterday?" Li Qian asked lightly.
Zhang shook her head at first, but when she met Li Qian's eyes, she had no choice but to nod again.
"Didn't you promise not to mention it to anyone?" Li Qian still said calmly.
"I, I..." Ms. Zhang shrank and was speechless.
"Hey!" Li Qian sighed deliberately, "Is human integrity so worthless? I still trust you so much."
"Li Qian, it was Hou San who forced me to say it. I didn't want to say it. Just let me go."
The more mediocre Li Qian's performance became, the more frightened Mrs. Zhang became, and she even kowtowed to Li Qian.
"Then what did you do three times?"
"He, he, he..." Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a long time, not daring to say it.
"He went to find the bandits, right?" Li Qian said on behalf of Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to answer, so she just nodded.
"Hey, you really didn't disappoint me!" Li Qian sighed again.
Zhang was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Li Qian's words.
But soon, she seemed to understand something.
"Li Qian, did you tell me that on purpose yesterday?" Her voice became sharp, "Are you lying to me?"
"Lie to you? Why should I lie to you?" Li Qian just said.
Zhang was speechless for a moment. If Li Qi'an lied to her, he could have just left. Why would he stay in the village and wait for the bandits from the three belts to come?
If he wasn't lying to her, then why would he do it.
She just felt like her head was in chaos.
"I will tell you clearly now, there is really a salt mine in Blind Man Mountain!" Li Qian squatted down and whispered in Zhang's ear, "It depends on whether you are lucky enough to find it!"
Zhang's eyes widened, "In other words, you haven't found the salt mine yet?"
Li Qian nodded, "It seems you are not too stupid."
"Then how did you know that there is a salt mine in Xiazi Mountain?"
A gray-white crystal-like pebble was thrown at Zhang's feet, and Li Qian asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Zhang shook his head. If this was an ordinary stone, Li Qi'an would not be able to show it to her. Indeed, she had never seen such a stone.
"This is gypsum stone! I picked it up in Blind Man Mountain." Li Qian said.
"Gypsum stone?" Ms. Zhang was surprised because she had never heard of such a thing. "What is gypsum?"
"You don't need to understand what it is, you just need to understand that the symbiosis with gypsum is salt!" Li Qian picked up the pebbles and said.
"So there really is a salt mine in Blind Man Mountain!"
