Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Danger on the Road

At this moment, Liu Sisi is standing in the courtyard, looking up at the full moon in the sky.

It has been a full year since Macheng County had seen any significant rainfall. The surrounding air is filled with an indescribable sense of irritability, making people feel increasingly restless.

“Princess, it’s getting late; you should rest too.”

Behind her, Ms. Gao lightly walks over with a thin cloak.

It’s already deep autumn, and the weather at night is gradually becoming cooler. Liu Sisi doesn’t notice this until now.

“No need. Even if I go back to my room, I won’t be able to sleep. I’d rather wait a bit longer,” she said. Maybe he’ll be back.

Liu Sisi casually accepts the cloak and looks back at Ms. Gao, “By the way, have the children gone to bed? And the people from the main Family, are they all taken care of?”

People from the Di Family also came, but three men came, and Elderly Mr. Di was the one who greeted them.

“They’re all resting. Madam, please don’t worry.”

Ms. Gao hesitates, “I wonder if the Old Master has returned home yet? Seeing his drunk state, he really should have stayed in the manor.”

Da Niu went to send the Old Master back home and hasn’t returned since, leaving her worried and unable to sleep properly.

“People get older and have their own thoughts; just let them be!”

Liu Sisi understands that the main reason Elderly Mr. Di refused to stay in the mansion was because of Ms. Wang.

When Di Yelei ordered people to throw Ms. Wang out of the mansion, he didn’t avoid doing so in front of everyone. All the guests in the courtyard saw it, which naturally made Elderly Mr. Di lose face. Coupled with the worry in his heart, he stubbornly wanted to leave.

Understanding all this, Liu Sisi naturally didn’t insist on him staying.

“You don’t have to worry about Da Niu. He has been in and out with Ye Lei so many times and nothing will happen to him. You go rest first. You still have to take care of the two children during the day.”

Ms. Gao’s youngest son is only a few months old, and she also needs to take care of Little Little. She indeed has her hands full.

Ms. Gao didn’t refuse Liu Sisi’s kindness and had to excuse herself and leave.

Liu Sisi looks at the numerous stars in the sky, and the unknown uneasiness in her heart just won’t go away.

Hopefully, Ye Lei will be safe this time.

Di Yelei is not busy guiding at the moment; instead, he starts making hemp rope from the kudzu vines on the steep slope. This treacherous path is indeed dangerous, and it is not easy to climb with an injured Zhao Yuanlang. If one accidentally slips off the cliff, it won’t be a laughing matter.

Zhao Yuanlang repeatedly urged him, but Di Yelei calmly prepared the ropes. It wasn’t until he felt that there were enough ropes that he finally stood up.

“Everyone, crush the sap of this tree and apply it to your body. There are many wild animals in the mountains on both sides. Applying the sap of this plant can remove the human scent, which is better than nothing.”

As he spoke, he showed everyone the plant.

“Everyone, apply it! Although the smell of the sap is unpleasant, it’s good to avoid the wild animals’ attacks.”

Everyone applied the sap one by one.

Zhao Yuanlang leaned in: “Prince Consort Di, can this sap really avoid wild animals?”

“The sap is originally effective, but there are too many people here, and the sap can only cover a little bit of the bloody smell on us.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanlang understood.

The sap was actually effective, but there were too many people here making too much noise, and almost everyone had wounds on them, so the effectiveness of masking the smells was quite limited.

“Everyone, be careful where you step on. It’s best to walk in my footsteps. It’s a mountain stream ahead, don’t blame me, Ye Lei, for not warning you all in advance.”
