Su Ze quickly said, “Sister, I’ll go with you. I’m very familiar with every place in the village, so it’ll be easier to find them.”
“Alright,” Su Li said.
Hence, the three of them went out to look for Riceball.
After eating, Yao Jun was about to go to the Su family to report today’s work to Su Li. After his earnest persuasion, those people expressed their desire to join their team.
Especially Shi Haishan. Su Li saved his life last time. Although it was Yao Jun who begged Su Li to save him, without Su Li, his life would have been long gone!
Therefore, Yao Jun and Su Li were equivalent to his saviors. He had to repay this favor. Although Yao Jun said that he had a salary, it was not important.
Yao Jun had just walked to the entrance of the Su family’s house while singing a tune when he saw the three of them rushing out. He quickly walked forward and asked.
“Boss, where are you guys going?”
Su Li glanced at Yao Jun and said, “Riceball is missing. We came out to look for it.”
When Yao Jun heard this news, he was shocked. That fierce puppy was gone?
Although he didn’t like that dog very much, he would still be sad if it was made into dog meat hotpot. After all, he wasn’t the one eating dog meat!
“There’s strength in numbers. I’ll go with you to find it,” Yao Jun said.
Su Ze slapped Yao Jun. “At least you have some conscience. I definitely won’t scold you next time.”
Yao Jun chuckled: “You are a man of your word, don’t go back on your word.” Su Ze puffed out his chest. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word (impossible).”
After searching for a while, Su Li saw that it was not a good idea for everyone to gather together.
She said, “Let’s split up and search. It’s faster this way.”
He Yufeng looked at Su Li worriedly. “It’s dark. I’ll leave with you.”
It was better to go around together when it was dark. What if something happened again?!
Su Li shook her head and refused. “It’s fine. We’re just in the village. Nothing will happen. Regardless of whether we find it or not, we’ll meet at home in an hour.”
He Yufeng knew that it was hard to change things Su Li had decided on. He nodded and said, “I’ll listen to you!”
Hence, the four of them began to split up.
Su Li was in charge of searching the village while He Yufeng, Su Ze, and the others surrounded the village.
Su Li asked from door to door. Every time she entered a family, she would sniff and see if this family was eating meat. She now suspected that someone had hidden the Riceball.
Most people knew that Su Li’s dog was missing and were willing to cooperate with her. Some people even helped to look for it. Some people were very dissatisfied with Su Li’s visit and even cursed.
“What are you looking for in my house when your dog is missing? Do you think I stole your dog?”
Su Li explained patiently, “Auntie, don’t misunderstand. My dog is more playful. Maybe it came to your courtyard. Let me in to take a look.”
The woman rolled her eyes at Su Li and said, “I said I didn’t. What are you still looking at? Do you think your dog is in high demand? Do you think anyone will bring it home?”
“Go, go, go. Don’t get in the way at my house. I still have to go out and visit.”
Before Su Li could speak, the people at the side were unhappy. This woman’s attitude made them think that she was up to no good. They all said, “So what if you let her take a look? Everyone has already allowed her to check, but you’re not letting her in? Could it be that you’re really the thief who stole the dog?”
“That’s right. I think you’re the dog thief. Otherwise, why don’t you dare to let anyone in to take a look? Perhaps the dog is in your backyard.”
The woman choked. She didn’t even see a single strand of dog fur. How did she become a dog thief?
“Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t even know what that dog looks like. How can it be a dog thief? You can’t wrong a good person.”
“Then let her go in and take a look. Otherwise, you’re guilty.”
“That’s right. If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. You look guilty now. Otherwise, what are you afraid
The woman pursed her lips and stepped aside. “Who’s afraid? I’m just afraid that she’ll steal my things!”
Su Li glanced at the woman and said, “Aunt, don’t worry. You can count the number of things in your house with ten fingers. You should be able to tell even if one is missing. You’ll follow behind me later. That way, you can rest assured.”
“I think the most valuable thing in your house should be that pot. You have to keep a close eye on it later. Don’t blame me if you lose it.”
“You…” The woman almost couldn’t breathe.
Su Li went in to take a look and even called Riceball’s name, but there was no response. There was no fragrance of meat at the woman’s house, so Su Li concluded that Riceball was not at her house.
The woman rolled her eyes. “I said so. You just had to come in and check. Are you satisfied now?”
Su Li smiled and nodded at her. “Sorry to disturb you!”
The woman waved her hand impatiently. “Get out now!”
Su Li smiled apologetically and turned to leave. She had searched several houses in a row and almost searched the entire village, but she still couldn’t find Riceball. She didn’t know how the battle was going on He Yufeng’s side.
Knock, knock, knock..
“Is anyone home?”
Su Li looked at the tightly shut door and started knocking.
Li Mingyuan had been reading at home for the past few days. He was a little dizzy and wanted to go out for a walk after eating. Just as he walked out of the door, he heard a familiar voice.
Why was she here?
Was she here to pester him again?
Li Mingyuan was a little smug. He knew that she wouldn’t forget him so easily. What could her hunter husband do? He was a boor!
However, he despised Su Li a little in his heart. She was already married, but she was still so restless. It was already dark, but she still knocked on someone else’s door. She really had no manners!
Li Mingyuan decided to educate Su Li, so he quickly walked out and opened the courtyard door.
Seeing that no one responded, Su Li was about to knock on the door again when the originally closed door opened. Since the person inside was Li Mingyuan, Su Li immediately felt like she had messed up.
The moment Li Mingyuan saw Su Li, he swallowed the words of lecture he was about to say.
Su Li was wearing a purple dress and a long purple robe. Her purple clothes seemed to make the world lose its color. At this moment, Li Mingyuan was a little dazed.
Su Li frowned. She didn’t like this kind of gaze, but in order to find Riceball, she resisted the urge to slap him. She asked, “Did you see a gray dog?”
A dog?
Wasn’t she here to look for him? Why was she asking about the dog?!
“What did you just say?” Li Mingyuan asked.
When Su Li heard his words, she couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with his hearing!
Su Li was a little impatient, but she still said again, “Have you seen my dog today?”
