Chapter 1213: Do Not Be Willful, Stay

lls to Liu Yuanwai's house.After entering Liu's mansion, she inevitably met an acquaintance here.When Fang Jianren saw Fang Jinshu, he was taken aback at first, then frowned in disgust, his tone laced...Chapter 1213: Don't Be Willful, Stay

Fang Jinshi had been wandering in the woods a few days ago, getting lost and narrowly escaping danger. She has a good memory and still remembers many of the paths.

The people who came from Luhe Village this time were much stronger than the first group. Many of them got lost after arriving, and Asang could only lead them back.

Before escaping, Fang Jinshu had seen a relatively open mountaintop surrounded by trees. Going down the other side of the mountain into the forest was only a few hundred meters away.

This place is perfect for sheltering the people of Lühé Village. If any wild animals appear, they can be seen clearly and won't be ambushed.

And only set traps around flat ground. Wild beasts aren't stupid, on the contrary, they are much smarter than most humans. They have an instinctual awareness of danger.

The ecological chain in the forest is complete. As long as there is no shortage of food and drink, wild animals will not risk their lives to challenge human traps.

She followed her memory, leading the people of Luhe Village along the way until they reached their destination. Everyone was dumbfounded upon arrival.

"Here, it's bare and there's nothing, could anyone really live here" someone whispered in question.

Lü, the village head, sat up and loudly rebuked the person speaking.

"How can it not be livable Didn't we all build the houses in the village ourselves We can just build new ones."

"Let's build a makeshift shelter here for a few nights first. There's such a large forest here, with plenty of meat and wild vegetables inside. From now on, we won't have to worry about food anymore, isn't that good"

Village Head Lu still commanded great respect from the people. Whenever he spoke, even those who had objections kept them to themselves.

Building a new house is tiring, but it's better than staying in the original village and being burned to death.

They had nowhere left to turn.

Many people thought this way, and their hearts felt a little better. They were also more diligent at work, because the sooner the house was built, the sooner they could escape danger.

Living in a hut with wide open fields on all sides, wild animals sneak in and steal a person while they're asleep. They probably don't even know it, or maybe a house is safer after all.

Fang Jinshi just watched from the side, with no intention of interfering.

Mayor Lu felt that his body was much better than before. He knew that the changes in his body were all because of the woman in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of good medicine she had given him. The effect was so fast.

Such a good medicine, it must be expensive, right

They had even wanted to bury her alive in sand, starve her to death, yet she showed such forgiveness.

As soon as he thought of this, Village Head Lü felt a little uncomfortable. He had someone carry him to Fang Jinshi's presence.

"Miss Fang."

Fang Jinshu raised her eyes to look at him, waiting for his next words.

"I am deeply ashamed. We owe you an apology."

"Thank you for not holding a grudge and saving the children, as well as me."

Fang Jinshu laughed coldly, her eyes a little cold.

"I'm not some saintly figure doing good deeds without expecting anything in return. I saved you because I need you to do something for me."

Village Head Lu hurriedly nodded, he even felt much better hearing the other party say that.

"Miss Fang, whatever you want us to do, just tell us. As long as it's within our power, we will definitely do our best."

Fang Jinxiu officially looked at the other party. Seeing that his eyes were still sincere, the discomfort in her heart eased slightly.

"I need you to find me someone."

The guard who was with us before, he encountered a pack of wolves in the woods. In order to protect us and make sure we survived, he...

Fang Jinshi endured, unwilling to admit in her heart that Zhao Xingzhou was dead. But as A Sheng said, she couldn't let his remains be left out there.

"I need you to help me search the forest for him. I want every piece of clothing, every scrap of flesh, brought back to me."

"Whoever I find, I won't let you work for nothing."

She pulled a heavy bag from her arms and threw it into Lu Village Chief's embrace. Lu Village Chief didn't know what was inside, he just out of curiosity opened it subconsciously, as a result, he was shocked at first glance.

Gold!

Inside, the whole bag is full of gold!

He had never seen so much money in his life.

Clutching the money bag, his hand even trembled slightly, Village Head Lü asked uncertainly.

"Miss Fang, is this gold for us"

Fang Jinxiu nodded. "As long as you help me find him, even if it's just a piece of his remains, this gold is yours."

Upon hearing this, Village Head Lu was so excited he nearly stood up.

With this money, even if their village now had nothing, the entire village could live in peace and security.

How could an ordinary person be so generous Miss Fang must have deliberately helped them.

Village Chief Lü bowed repeatedly to Fang Jinshi, expressing his gratitude with all the strength he could muster despite his limited mobility.

If he could stand up right now, he would probably kneel down and kowtow.

Mayor Lu immediately had Ah Sheng called over and tasked him with bringing a few people to handle this matter.

These people, upon hearing that they had to enter the forest, were terrified and took a step back. Fang Jinshu took out animal-repelling powder and a crossbow, and said solemnly.

"I will go in with you. If you are afraid and don't want to go, that's fine. The gold in the village head's hands won't be yours either."

Gold! What gold

Could it be that there's gold to be made by searching for people in the forest

Everyone turned to look at Mayor Lü, who just nodded.

"Miss Fang's reward was very generous, even if she didn't give us a reward, just because of her kindness to us, we should help her find her companions."

"One should never forget kindness and repay favors."

It wasn't just their lives, but also their children and their entire village that Fang Jinshu saved.

Without her, they would have been consumed by the flames and wouldn't be here speaking now.

A Sheng stepped out, "The village head is right. If it wasn't for Fang's wife, we would have been dead long ago."

He turned his head to look at Fang Jinshu's expression.

"I, A-sheng, owe my life to Miss Fang. I'm willing to go into the forest with you to find someone, no payment needed."

With Ah Sheng leading the way, many others also sheepishly stepped forward.

"I'm willing too."

"Me too."

"We are all willing to help Miss Fang find someone, no charge at all."

"Yes, the village is right. As a person, one mustn't forget kindness and repay gratitude."

Fang Jinshu didn't speak. A Sheng almost lost control and was about to rush out to scold them for being heartless, but Fang Jinshu stopped him.

He nodded.

"At least you have a conscience."

"With my sister here, those beasts won't get close to you. Don't worry."

Asheng's words had somewhat of a calming effect. He also intended to go in with them to find Zhao Gege's body, but Fang Jinshu stopped him.

"You stay out there."

Asheng was unwilling.

"No, you stay wherever I am. What if those people aren't reliable and hurt you"

If this were any other time, Fang Jinshui would have chuckled and teased him to ease the tension. But right now, she couldn't bring herself to smile; instead, she stared at A Sheng with a serious expression.

"Think carefully about your own identity. If you die, the first person you'd be letting down wouldn't be me, it would be Zhao Xingzhou."

"Don't be willful, stay."g the scene before him. It was as if he could only ease his inner tension and anxiety in this way.Until Fu Shangyuan called his name several times."Even if you stood there like a statue, you wouldn't...
