NOVPUBShen Roujia immediately grabbed Zhang San and ran in the opposite direction, heading straight back to their courtyard.
Before they could explain what had happened, there was a knock at the door.
Liu Ruyi waved to Wei Rui, and Shen Roujia quickly had Zhang San hide before pulling Liu Ruyi into the room.
“Sister-in-law, we went up the mountain and accidentally saw them killing someone. What should we do now? Should we leave the Divine Doctor’s Valley?”
Just as Shen Roujia finished speaking, the knocking at the door grew louder.
Liu Ruyi held her breath, while Wei Rui, still unaware of what had happened, opened the door with a click.
“Xi Lan, why did you suddenly come over?”
Hearing Xi Lan’s voice, Shen Roujia also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi Lan, looking a bit weary, shook his arm, “I’ve been exhausted these past few days. Even when I try to hide in my room, people keep coming to find me. I figured I might as well come here.”
Wei Rui frowned slightly, but with a resigned tone, said, “Come in, come in.”
Shen Roujia, feeling more at ease, slowly stepped out.
Xi Lan noticed the fresh mud on Shen Roujia’s shoes and socks, “Did you go to the back mountain?”
Shen Roujia was startled, “Huh? How did you know?”
Xi Lan smiled and shook his head, “It’s nothing.”
