Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Seeing this, Kong Qingci patted her on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

Luo Yunshu blinked, seemingly still somewhat puzzled.

"Qingci, do you know?"

Kong Qingci shook her head. "I don't know. You should study your medical books."

Luo Yunshu shook her head. "You're all speaking in riddles, but I think I've figured it out."

Xia An smiled but didn't reply.

Following Xie Laosi's arrival, more and more people came to see him for treatment.

Even the rain couldn't stop these people from arriving.

Or perhaps, it was precisely because of the rain that these people took the opportunity to come over.

For a time,

Xia An, on the other hand, got busy.

Fortunately, Luo Yunshu helped him get the medicine, so he wasn't too busy.

Time flew by and it was past nine in the morning. The rain gradually stopped and the dark clouds quickly dispersed.

Sunlight scattered across the earth, signaling the end of the rain he had orchestrated.

As the gong signaling the start of work rang out, the team members and educated youth quickly assembled.

Xia An sat for half an hour, and seeing that no one came over, he stood up and said:

"I'm going to the commune to take care of some business. Is there anything you need me to bring?"

The two shook their heads.

Kong Qingci hesitated for a moment, "Xia Zhiqing, are you sure we don't need to buy the medicine now?"

"Need not!"

Xia An shook his head. "Let's observe the team's situation for a few more days and determine their need for medicinal herbs."

"To avoid buying medicines that are unnecessary and wasting money."

Kong Qingci nodded and said no more.

Xia An returned to the courtyard, then left Anping Village carrying a basket on his back.

Given his pace, he was much faster without anyone accompanying him.

It's much faster than an oxcart.

Xia An had two main things to do during his trip to the commune.

First, they used the excuse of going to the commune to bring back some fine grains and meat;

Secondly, he remembered that the commune seemed to have a place for hatching and selling chicks and ducklings.

We should develop livestock farming in more spacious areas to increase the variety of meat available.

More than half an hour passed.

Xia An stood on a slightly elevated earthen slope and could already see the commune in the distance.

"Five or six li to go, almost there."

He chuckled softly, intending to continue his journey.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

But in the distance, near a cornfield, someone seemed to be behaving strangely.

Xia An immediately took out the binoculars he had been using and looked in that direction.

As soon as you look out, a man carrying a narrow, woven rattan basket places it on the outskirts of the cornfield.

He glanced around cautiously and strode into the cornfield.

"He doesn't seem like a good person!"

Xia An muttered to herself, unconsciously thinking of Yelena and the other person she had encountered yesterday.

He hesitated for a moment, then activated the "Snow-Treading Without a Trace" skill and quickly approached.

Two or three minutes later,

He went to the wicker basket, glanced at its contents,

The two wicker baskets contained chicks and ducklings, each with more than twenty chicks.

Xia An grinned and put the items into his spiritual spring space, not even leaving behind the carrying pole and basket.

"If you're a good person, we'll find a way to give you some money; if you're a bad guy..."

Xia An sneered and chased after the man in the direction he had left.

Without leaving a trace in the snow, even as he walked quickly through the cornfield, he made no noise and left no mark.

He deliberately changed his appearance to Xia Ming's and secretly followed behind the man.

Soon,

The man glanced furtively behind him every now and then, and soon arrived at a patch of reeds.

Little did he know, Xia An had already taken the lead and hidden herself in the reeds.

not only that,

Xia An also discovered another suspicious person in the reeds.

This person was wearing a baseball cap and squatting in the reeds; he didn't look like a good person.

If it weren't for his extraordinary senses, which allowed him to hear his breathing, he wouldn't have noticed.

"Bugu~ Bugu..."

As the man emitted a strange cuckoo call, the man in the baseball cap slowly rose to his feet.

"It doesn't have a tail, does it?"

"No!"

The man shook his head. "I was very careful and didn't notice anyone following me."

The man in the baseball cap nodded, keeping his head down, and said in a low voice,

"Did you bring the things?"

The man nodded and took out something that looked like a blueprint from the inside of the lining.

The man in the baseball cap took the gold bars, glanced at them, nodded, and handed them over.

The man took a bite of the gold bar, smiled with satisfaction, and turned to leave.

But at that moment, the man in the baseball cap suddenly turned ruthless, and a dagger appeared in his hand.

The dagger gleamed coldly as it was aimed directly at the man's neck.

The man seemed surprised by his actions, clutching his neck and staring at him in disbelief.

"Hehe~ Why...?"

The man in the baseball cap sneered, "This matter is too important; only the dead can keep it a secret. I'd like to ask you to die."

Upon hearing this, the man seemed to understand, his eyes filled with resentment. "I... curse..."

But before he could finish speaking, the man in the baseball cap pushed him to the ground.

This seemed to extinguish his last hope, leaving only his wide-open eyes.

Don't rest your eyes!

The man in the baseball cap took two gold bars, sneered, and was about to leave.

But then a cold, eerie voice suddenly came from behind.

"Don't move, or the gun might go off accidentally."

The man in the baseball cap froze, slowly turning his head to see Xia Ming (An) holding a pistol, looking at him with a half-smile.

His face was grim. "Who are you? When did you get hiding here?"

Xia An chuckled and shook his head. "You don't need to worry about that. My boss is interested in this deal and sent me over to take a look."

"But I never expected to witness a double-cross, which surprised me."

The man in the baseball cap looked grim. "Your boss? What gang are you from, bro?"

Xia An was too lazy to waste words with him. "Give me the stuff, and I'll spare your life."

Upon hearing this, the man in the baseball cap's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with doubt.

He had just killed his collaborator; how could he dare to believe Xia An's one-sided story?

Moreover, if he can't bring this back, his mission will be considered a failure.

Seeing his hesitation, Xia An sneered, "I have no patience, hurry up!"

The man in the baseball cap gave him a deep look, then laughed.

"This place is very close to the commune, do you dare to fire?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Xia An sneered, his eyes flashing with a crazed killing intent.

"Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish and send you down to join him!"

The man in the baseball cap felt a chill run down his spine and shivered involuntarily. He quickly spoke up:

"No, don't kill me, I'll give it to you!"

"Too late!"

Xia An sneered and threw a dagger with his backhand, hitting him squarely in the throat.

"You...you cheated?!"

The man in the baseball cap clutched his neck, his face ashen, as if he could already sense death approaching.

He quickly pulled a pistol from his waist and was about to fire.

Even if he couldn't get revenge, he still fired a warning shot, not wanting Xia An to have an easy time.

But as soon as he made a move, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the pistol slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a ghostly figure rapidly approached.

The man in the baseball cap felt the dagger on his neck vanish in an instant, and darkness swept in.

Xia An sneered, "At this close range, if I let you cause trouble, what's the point of me playing this game?"

As he spoke, he pulled out the blueprint and three gold bars from his person.

Besides that, all that's left is an identity document.

That's all.

Immediately, he turned to look at the man next to him, but only found a little over one dollar.

There was also an identity document and a letter of introduction issued by Yingyuan Production Team.

"You poor wretch!"

Xia An muttered under his breath, threw the two corpses into the spatial forest, and then prepared to leave.
