The Xie family had already come up to greet them now, and Gu Yundong looked at the family of four.

Xie Xi still had tools for digging wells at his feet, apparently planning to send Wei Shi to work in a neighboring village after he left.

Standing beside him was a teenage boy, who should be Xie Zhi's younger brother. This was the first time Gu Yundong saw him.

Mrs. Wei came over with two sacks, her face still a little embarrassed, "Mrs. Shao, I have a lot of things. No, it's rare to go back to her mother's house once, and I have prepared so much without knowing it."

"It doesn't matter, after all, it is a piece of filial piety from my aunt." Gu Yundong said, greeting Tong Shuitao, "You can help aunt carry the burden."

Wei Shi was stunned, and quickly made the back retreat, "No, no, I can do it myself. I also picked it when I went back to the mountains before. Don't worry, I will definitely not delay your time."

But then, she frowned again. Strange, even if she asked the servants to help her, she should find a strong man. Why did Mrs. Shao let the maid come instead?

Seeing Wei's rejection, Gu Yundong didn't force it, "That's fine, if Auntie feels tired, just tell me. We have a lot of people, so we can help instead."

Wei Shi just smiled and didn't answer.

The Xie family who bid farewell to the group, as well as the village chief Xie and the third uncle who followed, then began to advance into the mountain.

As soon as he entered the mountain and there was no one else around, Duan Qian asked Wei Shi while walking, "Aunt Xie, do you know if there is a family in Gaotan Mountain that moved here two years ago?"

"Is this the family you are looking for?"

Duan Qian nodded, but Wei Shi frowned and shook his head, "Then I don't know. I went back to my mother's house three years ago. In the past three years, there are not many families in the mountains. I really don't know."

After Duan Qian heard this, he felt a little regretful.

Wei Shi said, "But it doesn't matter. Let's go inside and look for it all the way. When we get to my parents' house, I will ask the two brothers. If there are more people in the nearby mountains, they will definitely know."

"Then trouble auntie."

Wei Shi smiled, "Young Master, don't be so polite."

The crowd didn't say more and continued to walk forward.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, but fortunately, they are all people with a foundation in martial arts, and their balance, agility, and physical fitness are not bad.

Wei Shi carried the burden and led the way, and looked back from time to time, for fear that they would not be able to keep up, or that their hands and feet were tired.

Who knew that looking at the delicate Mrs. Shao, and Mr. Duan, who looked like a noble son, they all walked steadily and didn't even speak in a chaotic manner, which surprised her for a while.

Are the young masters and young ladies in the city already so powerful? Walking on the mountain road is like walking on a bluestone slab, not only at a steady speed but also not slow at all.

On the contrary, she almost got into a fight because she was carrying two sacks to get in the way, and her mind was on the people behind her.

"Pause."

Wei Shi was sighing in his heart, but there was a sudden stop sound in his ears.

Wei Shi quickly stood up, turned her head and asked, "What's the matter? Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?" Although he had only walked for a quarter of an hour.

It was Duan Qian's guard who stopped him. The guard walked at the back, but now he looked back vigilantly.

With a wary expression on his face, he whispered, "There are people behind us."

"Is someone following?" Duan Qian frowned, and the others immediately stopped all movements and listened to the voice behind.
