"Hey, why is there something hidden here?"

Aunt Zhou was surprised.

Su Ying opened the bag, and inside were two black clothes and a scarf.

"This... this, are two clothes? Who would bury two clothes here?"

These two clothes would be fine if they were ordinary coarse linen clothes, but they were in black clothes. No ordinary person would wear all black and wear a turban and face scarf.

Su Ying put away the bundle and went around the forest again, and after finding nothing else, she went out with Aunt Zhou.

"Don't grab my sweet potatoes, then I am."

As soon as they walked out, the two heard a dispute not far ahead.

The two exchanged a look and walked towards the source of the sound.

The sound of the quarrel came from a small road on the edge of the three-way intersection, which happened to be sandwiched between the two houses.

Li Cuihua was pushing and shoving Goudan, and the two were fighting for a bag of sweet potatoes.

"You little bastard, hurry up and let me go. The damn thing has the face to come here to waste food again. Hurry up and give me the sweet potato, or I'll beat you to death!"

"This is mine, let it go, or I will tell you everything your son has done, and you will be in trouble!"

"Bah! Who can believe what you say, a little bastard, you can say it, you can yell, and see if anyone will believe you!"

"Your son wants to flirt with Erni and claims that those men in black did it. If the men in black find out, don't think about it!"

Aunt Zhou and Su Ying shrank their pupils, but Aunt Zhou wanted to go forward but was stopped by Su Ying.

"Don't worry, he won't necessarily lose."

Sure enough, when Li Cuihua was in a daze, Gouwa kicked her ankle. Li Cuihua screamed in pain and let go. Gouwa immediately grabbed the sweet potato, turned around and ran into the room behind him.

"You bastard, if you dare to hit me, I'll take your skin off!"

Unconvinced, Li Cuihua went up and slapped the courtyard door vigorously, but the courtyard door was so strong that she could not open it, and her hands turned red. Li Cuihua was so angry that she couldn't get in, so she could only leave cursing.

After she left, Su Ying and Aunt Zhou came out from the dark.

"City Master, there is indeed something strange about that matter."

"Auntie is going to eat there, and I will meet that child."

Aunt Zhou nodded, and went back to get some coarse grain steamed buns and a few boiled eggs and put them in the basket.

Su Ying came to Gou Wa's house with a basket and knocked on the courtyard door.

It's just that she knocked for a while, but there was no movement in the yard.

"I'm here to deliver something, open the door."

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and after a while, the courtyard door was vigilantly opened a crack, and a pair of vigilant eyes appeared behind the crack.

"Who are you and what are you giving? Now is not the time to give out sweet potatoes."

Su Ying shook the bamboo basket in her hand, "Lizheng asked me to bring it over. He said he was worried about your child living alone, so he asked me to bring you some food for your health."

Gouwa was a little puzzled, but couldn't bear the temptation of the food in the basket, and obediently opened the courtyard door.

Su Ying carried the basket into the house.

Needless to say, this child is not very old, but the yard has been tidied up in a good way.

"Don't you need to open up wasteland and farm today?"

Su Ying put the basket on the table and asked casually, "I've already taken care of my land, so I don't need to go every day."

Su Ying took out a boiled egg from the basket and knocked it on the table. The moment the eggshell shattered, the aroma of the egg permeated.

Gouwa stared straight at him, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't tasted eggs.

The shelled eggs are smooth and tender, just looking at them is very attractive.

"Eat, you are still growing, you should eat something good."

Gou Wa glanced at Su Ying suspiciously, but in the end he couldn't stand the temptation of the egg, so he grabbed the egg and ate it in two bites.

"There are a few more here, you can eat slowly."

"Li, Li is right, it's so kind to me."

"Your Li Zhengshu is so kind to you, shouldn't you help him solve his problems?"

Gouwa blinked suspiciously, "I can work for Uncle Lizheng. I'll cut firewood and farm for him."

Su Ying slowly shook her head, "These are small things, you can do them for him at any time, but recently he encountered a headache, that is, sister Erni, you know? She was almost given to the man in black. It's so frivolous, and now everyone in the village is very angry, including your Uncle Li, they are thinking about getting involved with those men in black."

"War with the men in black?"

"Yes, if we fight, we will suffer."

"We have a lot of people." Su Ying smiled, and she said that a child who can survive the disaster all the way cannot be a simple character.

"Do you think you can beat the man in black?"

Gouwa was silent, as if he was seriously thinking about this question.

"I don't know, they seem to be a bit powerful."

"They killed a lot of people before. If you really fight, none of you will survive."

Gouwa's expression changed, perhaps he never thought of such a possibility.

"Then, what should we do?"

"Lizheng said that the men in black won't do things for no reason, but we can't just let it go that they are belittling Erni, lest they really think that we are soft persimmons in the future and let them handle it!"

"But they are not the ones who underestimate Sister Erni."

After Gouwa finished speaking, as if he realized that he had said something wrong, he quickly covered his mouth and stared at Su Ying with his eyes wide open.

Su Ying peeled another egg calmly, "Why not, so many people saw it at that time, could it be that they all got it wrong?"

"They didn't see it! I saw it!" Gou Wa stared straight at the egg and said eagerly.

"What did you see? Didn't you just see the man in black bullying Erni?"

"No, they are not the men in black, but Li Hai and the others, who want to bully Sister Erni!"

Su Ying heard the words and sent the eggs to him, "No one will believe what you said, do you have evidence?"

"I have! That night I saw them sneaking away and then ran into the woods, where they buried things."

Su Ying raised her eyebrows calmly, "Then you saw it, why didn't you tell Li Zheng?"

Gouwa quickly stuffed the egg into his mouth and mumbled: "I dare not say, they will beat me to death."

Su Ying chuckled, "But if you don't say it, if the two sides really fight, you will be killed too, Gouwa, are you afraid of death?"

Gouwa was stunned, "I'm afraid of death, I don't want to die."

"Then go and talk to Li Zheng, tell Li Zheng, it's not the man in black who hurt Er Ni, it's Li Hai and the others."

Gouwa hesitated.

"If you tell the truth, Lizheng will trust you more, and you will get more delicious food, don't you want it?"
