But he only had one thought in his mind: were those two people behind him not here to cause him trouble?

Or were they here to cause trouble for the person in front?

Should I go out and check the situation?

Or should we just pretend we know nothing?

Finally, Yunxi decided not to walk out directly, but to quietly follow behind them to see what they were planning to do and who was behind it.

It's no wonder she was so curious; it was the first time she'd encountered something like this, so it's normal to be a little curious.

Yun Shanfu and Yun Shanping quietly followed Liu Dabao until they reached a spot not far from the gate of Yunxi's courtyard. Once they confirmed that he was indeed after Yunxi, they decided to stop being so patient.

They struck him hard on the shoulder and neck with a stick, so hard that he didn't even have a chance to turn around and see who hit him before collapsing to the ground.

"Brother, Uncle should be waiting at the brigade headquarters office. Why don't we just drag him there and see if we can pry his mouth open? Once we find out who that kid is, we can take care of him as soon as possible."

"Okay, while he's unconscious now, quickly carry him over there. Once we get there, don't forget to cover his eyes. Under no circumstances can he see who did it."

Yunxi was listening quietly behind the courtyard gate. She was surprised to find that it was her eldest uncle and fourth uncle who were fighting outside. After thinking about why they had fought, she was actually quite moved.

Even though she was a demon herself, she felt very warm and comforted, let alone the original Xiao Yunxi.

At this moment, Yunxi thought that since she arrived, she had not had much contact with others. Since sensing that a great disaster was coming, she had been busy and restless.

I originally thought we would each go our own way and that other people had nothing to do with me.

But she never expected that just because someone had designs on her, her uncle and several other uncles would treat her so well, directly nipping all the external dangers in the bud.

Suddenly, she lost that sense of peace and composure. This damned sense of guilt was something she never expected to feel, even as a peach tree spirit.

Although she was very touched, she didn't plan to get too close to them. After all, they were very familiar with the original Xiao Yunxi, and although she had been imitating Yunxi's every move, there were still some differences.

To avoid arousing suspicion, I must maintain a proper distance, but I am not the kind of ingrate who would not repay a favor.

I'm thinking of reminding them after a while so they can prepare in advance to prevent major disasters.

From now on, I'll play the role of an honest little orphan girl, pretending I know nothing. It's already quite good that I was able to remind them.

They must have lived for so long and seen far more than I, a peach tree spirit who has lived in the deep mountains and forests for thousands of years. It's best not to interfere.

Yunxi decided that after starting school, she would say that a classmate's family had a superstitious elder who had calculated it in advance, and that they wouldn't suspect her.

After deciding on how to repay the debt, Yunxi finally felt a sense of indebtedness disappear.

However, Yunxi was quite curious about how they would deal with that scoundrel next.

He had never seen how the villagers punished others before, so he wanted to go and see for himself.

Don't blame him for being ignorant; even in his memory, Yunxi had never seen such people. Yunxi only knew that if there were bandits or similar people in the village, they were mostly dealt with by the former village chief, who was also Yunxi's great-grandfather and Yun Deguang's father.

It was all handled by men; the women in the village didn't get involved and simply pretended not to know anything.

So, apart from the young people, most of the older people in the village have blood on their hands to some extent.

It wasn't just Yunjia Village that was like this; several other villages were in the same situation. In such chaotic times, if you wanted to lead the people in a village to survive, sometimes you had to be tough, and you couldn't do it without shedding blood.

After they had gone far away, Yunxi quietly opened the door and sneaked out of the courtyard.

Since I already know that my great-grandfather Yun Deguang is in the brigade headquarters office, I can just head straight there. I don't need to worry about losing them.

Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters, Yunxi did not approach the front but instead stood at a considerable distance. Because she could see very clearly, she was not worried about not being able to see what was happening inside, even from a great distance.

However, the office door was already closed, and even with her sharp eyesight, Yunxi couldn't see inside the room. She had no way to penetrate the walls and see what was happening inside.

But less than a minute after they brought the person into the brigade headquarters, Uncle Si came out of the house and hurriedly ran away.

Less than five minutes later, I saw Uncle Seven and Uncle Nine again. They went into the house and didn't stay long before I saw them carrying that person away.

They headed straight up the mountain. Yunxi thought they were so decisive, and she wanted to learn from them.

Feeling there was no more useful information to be found, Yunxi decided it was best to forget about following them up the mountain.

For hunters who frequently venture deep into the mountains and forests, it's an easy thing to be followed and discovered.

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I didn't follow them.

Anyway, I think it won't be long before I find out how to deal with it. Once that scoundrel is out of sight, I'll know his fate.

I wonder if that scoundrel revealed who the girl was.

I kept having something on my mind, and I felt like I couldn't sleep when I got home.

As for whether I would panic or have nightmares, it's obviously impossible.

After returning home, Yunxi washed up and lay down directly on the kang (a heated brick bed).

She felt she hadn't had enough of what she was watching and couldn't sleep because she hadn't seen the sequel.

Since she couldn't sleep for the time being, Yunxi could only let her mental energy enter her physical space and look at the pile of firewood that looked like a small mountain inside.

Since he had nothing else to do, he simply used his mind to control the firewood in the space, turning it into pieces.

This way, it looks a little neater. Tomorrow at dawn, we can simply pile all those bundles of firewood into the woodshed over there.
