When Grandpa Hua said this, Jiang Li also breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want Grandpa Hua to take risks. Du Nan was an extremely dangerous person. How could Grandpa Hua, an ordinary farmer, be Du Nan's opponent.
At this time, Grandpa Hua spoke again.
"Miss, you haven't said why you're here yet. This is Maika's territory. He and Du Nan have always had business relationships. If they discover your identity, they will definitely hand you over to Du Nan."
Grandpa Hua suddenly said nervously.
Jiang Li shook his head and pointed at his face and asked.
"Grandpa Hua, if I didn't identify myself just now, can you recognize me?"
Grandpa Hua was stunned, and then he looked closer. The lights in the room were too dim. Grandpa Hua looked closer for a while before speaking.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? How did it become like this?"
Grandpa Hua couldn't see Jiang Li's disguise at all. Of course, if Grandpa Hua could see the flaw, Feng Xiao wouldn't be proud of it.
Jiang Li thought for a while, but instead of telling the truth, he made an excuse.
"There was an accident, but it's okay, no one will find out my true identity."
Grandpa Hua nodded. Indeed, the Jiang Li in front of him was not the same as the little girl in his impression.
"Miss, you haven't said yet, what exactly are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for someone."
Jiang Li thought for a while and said, Grandpa Hua looked confused.
"Find someone?"
Jiang Li nodded.
"Well, I am a man, Grandpa Hua. I may need to stay with you for a few days."
Grandpa Hua thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, I usually don't have people coming here, so it's okay to stay here. But Miss, is the person you're looking for related to Maika? Do you need my help to find out."
Grandpa Hua could feel that Jiang Li didn't want to talk more about this matter, but if the other party was here with Maika, he might be able to inquire about it secretly.
However, Jiang Li shook her head and refused. She didn't want to involve this kind old man.
"No, I almost have a clue. Oh, by the way, Grandpa Hua, if you really want to help me, you can help me find out what big actions Mika has taken recently. I have to wait for their people to leave.
Only then can we take action.”
When Jiang Li said this, Grandpa Hua nodded without any hesitation.
"Okay, I will help you find out. Maika has been receiving goods during this period. I guess there should be some transactions recently. I will tell you as soon as I find out the specific time."
"Thank you Grandpa Hua."
"Silly girl, you don't have to say thank you to me. Come on, girl, you can sleep in that room tonight."
Grandpa Hua pointed to a room next to him, which should be his bedroom.
Jiang Li refused directly. She had already disturbed Grandpa Hua and could not occupy his bedroom anymore.
"Grandpa Hua, no need, I can just sleep on the sofa over there."
"How can that be done? You are a young lady with a rich body. How can you sleep on the sofa?"
"Miss, Grandpa Hua, I am no longer the girl I was back then. I have just decided that I will sleep here. If you insist, then I will leave."
When Jiang Li said this, Grandpa Hua did not dare to persuade him anymore. He took out a blanket from the inner room and handed it to Jiang Li, and then returned to the house.
In fact, the temperature here in Mailai City is around 27 or 8 degrees Celsius all year round, and it is not too cold at night. Compared with sleeping in a tent in that broken building two days ago, it is obviously much better here.
Jiang Li was lying on the sofa, feeling uneasy. Maybe he saw someone he was familiar with, and some memories slowly emerged.
Anger, hatred, blood, and the indifferent faces of those people all flashed before Jiang Li's eyes.
Just when Jiang Li was about to fall asleep, suddenly, she opened her eyes.
These years of brutal training have long since allowed Jiang Li to develop skills. Any disturbance dozens of meters away can arouse her vigilance.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. In remote villages like Mailai City, people here had been busy all day and almost all went to bed very early at night.
What's more, when entering the village, Jiang Li discovered that there were some hidden sentries in the village, so the movement outside at this time was not surprising.
Jiang Li was lying on the sofa without making any movement. She was waiting for the next move of those outside.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes, the wooden door ten meters away from the room was still not pushed open.
After a few more minutes, the strange smell gradually dissipated, and Jiang Li raised his lips slightly. Since they were not planning to come tonight, they would take the opportunity to have a good sleep. After tomorrow, they might never have a good night's sleep again.
"Boss, there is a stranger in the village."
A few minutes later, in a two-story building about three hundred meters away from the village, the man who had just been wandering outside Grandpa Hua's yard was now standing in front of a man with a scar on his face.
This person is a close associate of Maika, and he is watching the farmers harvesting here during this time.
After hearing this, the man raised his half-closed eyes slightly and asked lazily.
"Oh? How long has it been since a stranger came here? Are our people watching?"
The man nodded and said.
"I'm staring at it. It's a woman. She seems to know that old man. She went in and didn't come out again."
"Old Man Hua?"
The man frowned after hearing this.
Old Man Hua's planting skills are very good. His boss spent a lot of effort to buy them from Dunan. No wonder his men didn't break in.
"Okay, let's send someone to keep an eye on him. He might be some relative of the old man. He is still useful now. Don't ruin the boss's good deeds."
The subordinate nodded after hearing this.
"I know, I will send someone to keep an eye on it. By the way, we have almost collected the goods. The last bit will be collected tomorrow, which will be enough for 500 kilograms."
The scarred man nodded.
"Okay, the boss will come over tomorrow to inspect the goods. If there is no problem, we can leave this shabby place. The city is still moist. Damn, there is not even a decent woman here."
The man with the scar cursed and said, and several of the boys on the side also showed obscene expressions. They are all desperadoes, with their heads tied to their waistbands, and they like to play with women whenever they have money.
However, there are only plantations here, and those who stay in the village are basically older people. Even women are in their forties or fifties. Farmers who spend all day in the fields are not interested at all.
"Boss, after this transaction, I'll give my brothers a holiday."
The scarred man didn't know what his younger brothers were thinking, so he laughed wildly.
"Okay, don't you just want to play with women? After this time with the boss, I will buy those women back and you can play with them as you like."
"Thank you, boss, for being so generous."
After hearing this, a group of younger brothers below started flattering him again and again. As for the fact that there was a strange face in the village, they had long forgotten about it.
Jiang Li had a good sleep and woke up before six o'clock the next day.
As soon as she woke up, she smelled the aroma of food. Jiang Li sat up from the sofa and saw Grandpa Hua cooking something on the open-air stove in the yard. She simply washed up and walked over.
"Miss, wake up. Breakfast will be ready in a moment."
Jiang Li didn't say anything, nodded, sat down on the steps beside him, and looked at the small courtyard again.
It's not big, only about 20 square meters. In addition to the open-air stove, there is a vegetable garden on the other side, and there are even a few chickens raised in the corner.
Jiang Li sat for a while, and Grandpa Hua made breakfast.
It was very simple, a pot of white porridge, two vegetarian dishes, and two fried eggs. Jiang Li didn't mind it, so he picked it up and started eating.
"Miss, I'm going to work soon. Just stay at home and don't run around. There are people watching here recently."
Grandpa Hua warned, but Jiang Li said.
"It's okay, I'll just walk around and don't run around. Also, Grandpa Hua, you can't keep calling me that. I guess when you go to work today, someone will ask about me. Then you can say that I am your distant
Niece, my name is Huali."
Jiang Li gave herself an interesting name, the surname of Grandpa Hua, which is a homophony of her name.
Grandpa Hua listened, nodded, and read aloud.
"Huali, okay, I understand, then you should pay attention to yourself, and I will inform you immediately when I get the news."
Jiang Li nodded and ate breakfast quietly.
The farmers here get more for their hard work, so they basically go to work at dawn and don't come back until dark. The same goes for Grandpa Hua.
As expected, not long after Grandpa Hua left, he was taken in for questioning. Grandpa Hua answered as promised before. Although those people were a little skeptical, because they needed Grandpa Hua’s planting skills, they did not
Dare to be in trouble.
On the other side, not long after Jiang Li waited for Grandpa Hua to leave, he checked his clothes and left the small courtyard.
As soon as she went out, Jiang Li felt two tails behind her, but she didn't care and wandered around the village leisurely.
Although there are not many people living in this village, there are many houses, which are usually used as warehouses to store things.
To the north of the village, near the fields, there is a very empty square.
Jiang Li jumped directly onto a haystack, then took a bottle of beer that he bought from the canteen just now, opened it, and looked at the group of people in the square.
One look at the attire of these people showed that they were not from this village. Moreover, there were a pile of weapons on the edge of the square, and some of them also carried weapons on their backs.
Looking at the large field, there are also people patrolling back and forth. They are not worried that these farmers are lazy, but are worried that they hide the harvested things.
