Girls outside never came to the village. Although Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask, her picturesque eyes and beautiful clothes were enough to shock the villagers on the way.

Xia Wanyuan walked slowly. As she messaged Jun Shiling, she checked her surroundings.

“Is that Miss Xia?” Someone suddenly called out to her from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around. It was the aunt who had sold melons back then.

“Auntie.”

“It’s really Miss Xia!! Why are you here?! Come, come, come, come and sit at my house for a while,” the auntie said and enthusiastically invited Xia Wanyuan over.

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. The aunt hurriedly walked to Xia Wanyuan’s side, as if to protect her. She brought her home and closed the door the moment she entered.

“Miss Xia, why did you come to our small mountain village? Thank you for spending so much money to buy our fruits last time.” Knowing that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat watermelons, the auntie specially took out an ice-cold watermelon from the well water and cut it open. The green-red melon pulp was very alluring.

“I came to shop around.” Xia Wanyuan took the watermelon and bit it.

“Aiyo, Miss Xia, I have to remind you that our poor mountain is not like a big city. Go out quickly while the sky is still bright.” The aunt had a good impression of this good-looking and kind celebrity.

“Auntie, do you mean that there’s trafficking in the village?” Xia Wanyuan had originally only wanted to probe. In her previous life, when she was in power, she had handled many similar incidents. The more isolated and backward a place was, the easier it was to breed such conflicts.

In the end, the melon seller’s expression changed immediately. She lowered her voice. “Miss Xia, everyone here belongs to the same family. Even the local police can’t do anything to them. You have to be careful. I’ll send you out later. It’s not good to stay here for long.”

“It’s nothing, Auntie. I’ll have someone pick me up later.” Xia Wanyuan smiled comfortingly. “Is this your child?”

A head poked out from the corner of the wall. He looked strong and buff, but his eyes were very bright. Although the woman selling melon seeds was from the mountains, it was obvious that she loved cleanliness. The child looked like he had been taken good care of.

“Yes, this is my youngest son. Come here and call sister.”

“Sister,” the little boy called out crisply.

“Hello, this is for you to eat.” Xia Wanyuan took out a bag of chocolate from her bag and handed it to the little boy. The boy reached out to take it. His hands were covered in fine wounds, as if they were cut by grass.

“What grade are you in?” Xia Wanyuan asked casually.

“He didn’t go to school. Sigh.” At this point, the middle-aged woman sighed. “We only have one school here and only one teacher in the school. He died of illness last year and no one was willing to come to our side. This child is about to reach school age, but without a teacher, what can we do?”

Xia Wanyuan looked up at the little boy’s bright eyes. “Do you want to go to school?”

“Yes.” The little boy nodded obediently. Although the child was still young, he had always heard his parents talk about it. Only school could change their fate.

Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and did not speak further. “Auntie, it’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”

“Okay, okay. Do you want to bring a few watermelons back? I don’t have anything good here.”

“No need. I’ll come and visit you again tomorrow. Bye,” Xia Wanyuan said and walked out, calling Shen Qian.

Before the call connected, several people had already walked over. Their gazes kept sweeping over Xia Wanyuan, and the turbidness in their eyes made one feel uncomfortable.

A few men who spoke in local dialect surrounded a relatively small middle-aged woman in the middle and pointed at Xia Wanyuan.

“Young lady, where are you going?” The middle-aged woman actually spoke authentic Mandarin. Her eyes shone as she looked at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan ignored them and picked up Shen Qian’s call. “Hello, Shen Qian. Come and pick me up now. I’m at the door of the fifth house at the village entrance.”

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had someone with her, hesitation flashed across the middle-aged woman’s eyes. However, the man standing beside her gestured with his hand. The middle-aged woman steeled her heart and gestured for them to calm down.

“Wild wolves will appear in this village at night. Little girl, don’t walk around alone. Why don’t you follow us to the village chief’s house?”

Xia Wanyuan had eliminated so many mountain bandits before and had a deep understanding of the saying that wicked people appeared in poor mountains and rivers. She estimated that Shen Qian would arrive soon and immediately said coldly, “Get lost.”

“Hey, little girl, why are you refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?” The middle-aged woman gave her a look, and the men standing on both sides walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan dodged for a while, and the two of them missed. They were embarrassed. Xia Wanyuan took a fire stick that someone had thrown and swung it a few times. The person in front had blood on his head. The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the other residents in the village.

Some people opened the door to take a look and closed it again.

Xia Wanyuan’s movements were nimble. Not only were these people unable to catch her, but they were also beaten up by her. At this moment, Shen Qian drove the SUV and roared over. Xia Wanyuan got into the car directly. Shen Qian stepped on the accelerator and raised a cloud of dust.

“How unlucky. It’s not easy for me to meet a good person, but she’s actually a tough one.” The middle-aged woman spat in the direction Xia Wanyuan had left. “Forget it, forget it. Go and take a look at the new goods I brought. This time, she’s a superior good.. She can definitely give birth to a son.”
