Beisitian grabbed some medicine beneficial for lungs and left, leaving Luo Xudong to sit alone at the window, playing with the small jar in his hands.
Looking at the small jar, Luo Xudong's gaze was softer than ever before.
Beisitian didn't directly return to the village but went to the courtyard instead, as she had been busy for over a week and hadn't visited.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, Beisitian sensed an unprecedented tension in the atmosphere, making her heart skip a beat.
Entering the courtyard, the security seemed even stricter, with twice as many soldiers on guard as usual.
"Comrade Xiao Li!" Beisitian saw Li Xuejun rushing about and hurriedly intercepted him.
"What's happened?" Beisitian asked.
Seeing it was Beisitian, Li Xuejun's eyebrows didn't relax; the usually cheerful young man was unusually downcast today.
"Comrade Xiao Bei, you'd better go; the old chief likely won't see you." Li Xuejun said.
"What's actually going on?" Beisitian pressed on relentlessly.
