"That's it, I'll just listen to you!" Manager Li nodded, then glared at Zhao Ergou, "If the Si family hadn't been here to say good things for you today, I would definitely not have spared you lightly."

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is checking and getting ready to go into the mountain!"

As Manager Li gave the order, the unhappiness just now seemed to have been forgotten. Jiang Tuge followed the team, talking about the route as they walked.

As for Si Mubai, he followed Jiang Tuge every step of the way. Whenever there was a branch, he would pull it aside with quick eyes and hands.

If he was like this on weekdays, Jiang Tuge would definitely cry with gratitude. But today, because he was always around her, she tried to ask the passing animals several times but was unable to do anything.

If she scolded him out loud now, it would make people think that she was being unreasonable. After all, Si Mubai didn't let himself make any mistakes along the way.

She rolled her eyes, then tightened her eyes. No, this is getting further and further away. She must ask about the situation while she can still see some small animals here.

She looked around, and then caught a glimpse of Zhao Ergou, the last member of the team. He was dejected at this time. Jiang Tuge's eyes lit up, didn't this provide a reason?

"Husband, I have something to tell you." Jiang Tuge raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of tenderness.

Si Mubai was stunned for a moment when he heard her sweet words, "Jiang Tuge, can you speak properly?"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Jiang Tuge immediately returned to normal, "I'm fine, it's just that Zhao Ergou is not very interested."

"I'm going to ask about the situation. I'm about to go into the mountains. He can't be like this."

Si Mubai looked back and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

After receiving the response, Jiang Tuge slapped several rainbow farts at Si Mubai. Then he left Si Mubai's sight and walked towards Zhao Ergou.

"Zhao Ergou, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Ergou had his head lowered along the way, his whole body was out of sorts, and he was in a daze even when he was walking.

Jiang Tuge's sudden sound made him tremble in fright. His steps deviated and he almost fell into the pit beside him.

"Jiang...Ms. Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ergou came back to his senses with a guilty look on his face.

Jiang Tuge raised her eyebrows slightly. Zhao Ergou's reaction just now made her feel that he almost fell because she was scared.

However, she didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I saw that you came late today, so I wanted to ask what happened."

Hearing this, Zhao Ergou was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "It's nothing, I...I..."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Jiang Tuge raised his lips and smiled, "If my guess is correct, are you angry with your wife at home?"

"Ah? Madam Jiang, you...how did you know?" Zhao Ergou looked surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Tuge couldn't help but laugh at Zhao Ergou. She knew it was because of the scars on Zhao Ergou's face. There are only old man Zhao and his wife in his family. It is impossible that the injury on his face was dug by his father!

"Zhao Ergou, are you angry with your wife because of what happened today? If I remember correctly, your wife is from Changxing Village."

"Yes!" After saying that, Zhao Ergou hurriedly explained, "Ms. Jiang, although my wife is from Changxing Village, she has not been evil since she married me."

"Well, I know!" Jiang Tuge nodded, "Zhao Ergou, what's your wife's name? I saw you mention her, but there was a smile on your face!" Zhao Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment, " My wife’s name is Qi Damei, she’s very beautiful! Hey, I don’t know why you all have such nice names. It’s not like my name, which is like two dogs and two dogs.”

big beauty? Sounds good?

Jiang Tuge suppressed a smile. In her opinion, there was no difference between Da Mei and Er Gou.

"Zhao Ergou, there is one more thing I have to tell you seriously. At the moment, only we are the ones who know about finding water sources."

"Remember, no matter who asks you before this matter is settled, you can't tell. Including your wife, Qi Damei."

Zhao Ergou nodded. Although he was sincere, he was not stupid. Manager Li and Madam Jiang had warned her about this matter, so naturally he wouldn't say anything about it.

He looked at Jiang Tuge and said seriously, "Ms. Jiang, don't worry! I know this matter is very important and related to the lives of the people of Yunzhuang."

"I won't tell anyone. Even if Damei hits me or scolds me, I won't tell her!"

"Yeah!" Jiang Tuge nodded and smiled softly.

When she smiled, Zhao Ergou suddenly realized that he had told Jiang Tuge about the beating. This time he was embarrassed. He said something to Jiang Tuge and hurried forward dejectedly.

Jiang Tuge watched him gradually walk away without any further delay. After all, if Si Mubai found out that he had gone to the front, he would definitely come back to find her.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, she caught a rabbit hiding in the grass and held its ears with her hands. "Don't worry, I won't eat you."

"You...what are you going to do? Let me go, hurry up!" The rabbit kept bouncing its legs, struggling to leave.

Jiang Tuge raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you go, but you have to answer me a question."

Rabbit looked at Jiang Tuge with disgust and said, "Is this woman a fool? She actually wants to ask an animal. Even if she asks, she won't understand."

Jiang Tuge smiled and shook the rabbit, pointing at it with one hand, "I'm not a fool, I can understand what you said. Don't be surprised, don't be curious."

"As long as you can answer the questions truthfully, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will hand you over to the hunters. Do you believe it?"

Rabbit listened to Jiang Tuge's words and responded dubiously.

Jiang Tuge saw this and asked, "Do you know there is a tiger in the mountain? Is it ferocious?"

"So that's what you're asking. This kind of beast lives in the mountains. Not only does it eat rabbits and deer like us, it even kills several wolves."

"You don't know, those wolves hate it so much. No matter what you say to it, it never listens."

Jiang Tuge nodded. It seemed that hunting tigers was indeed feasible.

She asked a few more questions, then threw the rabbit into the grass and let it run away. She quickened her pace and returned to Si Mubai's side.

Thinking of what happened just now, she couldn't help but look at Si Mubai and said, "Husband, you..."

"I...? What's wrong?" Si Mubai's eyes were full of doubts. Jiang Tuge rarely had such a reaction.

"It's nothing, I just heard that the tigers in this mountain are very ferocious. If you encounter one, you must be careful." Jiang Duge hurriedly explained, for fear that Si Mubai would see something wrong with him.
