Su Hao wanted to ask Deng Wei and Wen Li for their opinions, but when he saw that the two of them were looking at him with complicated expressions, he wondered to himself, could it really be his problem?

"Dry!"

As soon as Su Hao finished speaking, the way everyone looked at him changed. Su Hao was genuinely starting to question his life.

"Alright, everyone keep an eye on that kid for the next couple of days. Once he gets up the mountain, we'll make our move!"

Chen Yan spoke domineeringly, her demeanor resembling that of a female leader of some organization, with a bandit-like air about her!

After discussing it, the group went their separate ways.

That evening, Wen Li went into the space and harvested the mature rice and wheat.

Then the rice was threshed and the wheat was ground into flour. Although these processes could be controlled with her mind, after everything was finished, Wen Li felt dizzy and warm blood flowed from the tip of her nose. Wen Li quickly drank half a bowl of spiritual spring water, and the throbbing pain in her head gradually disappeared.

It seems that there is a time limit to controlling these things with one's mind. Since she had no experience the first time, Wen Li summarized her experience and decided that she could not be so reckless in the future!

Looking at the white rice and flour, she felt much more at ease. These were the guarantee of her future wealthy life. Whether she could sell a courtyard house in the capital depended on these things.

For the next two days, the group kept an eye on Wu Xing's movements while they were at work, but he stayed at Old Man Wu's place helping to dry the medicinal herbs and showed no intention of going to the back mountain.

"Qi, the autumn harvest is just around the corner, then there won't be time to keep an eye on that kid!"

"Since he won't go up the mountain, let's find a way to get him out!"

"Oh? What if someone sees us?"

Su Hao was shocked. Were they all this brazen in their actions?

Chen Yan rolled her eyes, speechless. "Of course it's done secretly! Are you stupid?"

Qi Jun didn't explain what to do, just said, "Meet at the foot of the mountain at 10 PM tonight!"

As night fell, Su Hao grew increasingly nervous. Although he had been mischievous as a child, this was the first time he had done something like this, and he felt a little excited.

As it approached ten o'clock, the group quietly went to the back mountain through the back door. Wen Li arrived at the foot of the mountain first and waited there for a while before Chen Yan and Su Hao arrived.

"Where is Qi, the educated youth?"

"He told us to wait here!"

The moon hung high in the sky. The group found a relatively secluded spot and waited quietly. After a while, Wen Li saw a huge figure walking towards them from afar.

Unsure whether they were Qi soldiers, none of the men dared to speak.

"Waaaaah~"

Wu Xing was bound with ropes and his mouth was gagged. He was carried on Qi Jun's shoulder. His fear reached its peak. No one could have imagined that someone would be so bold as to kidnap him from his house in the middle of the night.

Moreover, it seems that this person wants to take him to the back mountain. The back mountain at night is extremely dangerous, and one wrong move could cost you your life.

Qi Jun carried the man to the agreed location without saying a word.

Is anyone there?

Upon hearing Qi Jun's voice, the group emerged from the back.

"Let's go up the mountain!"

After Qi Jun finished speaking, the group went to the back mountain. They didn't dare to go deep into the mountains in the middle of the night, and only dared to drop the person off at the place where they usually gathered firewood.

Once Qi Jun had put the man down, Deng Wei immediately removed the gag from Wu Xing's mouth.

"Cough cough cough~ Who are you people and why did you kidnap me here?" Wu Xing looked at the five dark figures and felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

The flashlight in Chen Yan's hand shone brightly, making Wu Xing's eyes sting.

Wen Li spoke slowly, "Don't you know why we kidnapped you?"

When Wu Xing saw Wen Li, he suddenly felt a chill. No, he had done that very discreetly. They couldn't possibly have found out. Moreover, even the villagers didn't know the purpose of rosin. Yes, they couldn't possibly know!

Wu Xing calmed himself down quickly and said, "I have no grudge against you. What do you want?"

"Do I need to spell it out even more?" Wen Li immediately noticed the fleeting guilt in Wu Xing's eyes. "Rosin!"

Wu Xing hadn't expected these educated youths to know the uses of rosin; it was his carelessness. "What's wrong with rosin? If you want rosin, I can give you some; I won't charge you!"

Chen Yan could easily tell that Wu Xing was feeling guilty. Thinking of the close call a few days ago, she raised her hand and gave Wu Xing a resounding slap.

"Damn it, still playing dumb? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

Wu Xing was already bound, and before he could even sit properly, Chen Yan slapped him to the ground.

This was the first time Wu Xing had ever been humiliated. His family had been doctors for generations, and everyone treated them with utmost respect, whether they were outside or back in the village. He had never suffered such an insult before.

He pressed his tongue against his cheek, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he had already figured out how to kill these people without anyone noticing after he was freed!

His gaze did not escape the eyes of Qi Jun and Wen Li. The two of them had only one thought in their minds: Wu Xing cannot be allowed to stay!

Wu Xing had just struggled to sit up when Qi Jun kicked him in the chest and then stomped on his head.

"Tell me, why did you do that?"

A sudden wave of panic washed over Wu Xing. He remembered the person he had killed before. Back then, he had looked down at her in the same way, and no matter how much she begged for mercy, he had still expressionlessly poured the medicine into her mouth!

"I...I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Since he won't admit it, cut his arm and throw him into the deep mountains!"

Wen Li had no liking for this person. He had exceptional talent, but he complained all day about the unfairness of the world, which kept him stuck in a small mountain village, unable to use his talents at all.

Relying on his medical skills, he harmed many people who had offended Jiang Yue'er. Chen Yan was eventually driven insane by his torment, and this person played a significant role in that.

This is because technology is not advanced enough now. If it were in modern times, he would have died eight hundred times over!

How could someone like that become a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine? This kind of scoundrel should just rot in this mountain village to prevent him from harming more people!

"No, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Wu Xing realized that Wen Li wasn't bluffing him. If he were thrown into the deep mountains, he would probably be nothing but a pile of bones by tomorrow.

Thinking of all the people he had harmed, Wen Li raised her hand and slapped him. Wen Li's strength was far superior to Chen Yan's. With one slap, Wu Xing instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and half of his face swelled up like a pig's head.

"explain!"

Wu Xing's eyes were fierce as he thought about how to tear Wen Li to pieces, but now that he was in their hands, he could only obediently admit defeat.

"I smeared the pine resin on your inevitable path. I just wanted to teach Wen Zhiqing a lesson, I didn't mean to kill you!"

Su Hao was also shocked and stared wide-eyed. He really didn't expect that Wu Xing would be so shameless.

Chen Yan was so angry she laughed. "Pshaw~ Using a wild boar to teach people a lesson, and you still dare to say you didn't want to kill us?"

"I don't recall ever seeing you before, so why are you lecturing me?"

Wu Xing felt a pang of heartache when he thought of how Jiang Yue'er had been bullied so badly by Wen Li and cried so bitterly.

"I just can't stand you!"

Seeing that Wu Xing was still protecting Jiang Yue'er at this time, Wen Li admired his devotion.

"Fine, since you've admitted it, we'll get rid of you and won't feel guilty anymore!"

Wu Xing's pupils dilated as he stared in disbelief at Wen Li's beautiful face. "You went back on your word! Didn't you promise to let me go?"
