The steward's wife responded and followed Steward Li to look for the hunters. Jiang Tuge looked at the sky and left together.

On the way, she looked at Manager Li and said, "We will go out at dawn tomorrow. Except for the three of us and the hunters we are looking for, no one else can tell about this."

Manager Li nodded. This matter was related to the lives of all people in Zhuangzi, so he would naturally be careful.

At the fork in the road, Jiang Tuge spoke to Manager Li and walked home. But she had just taken two steps before she couldn't help but come back.

When Manager Li saw Jiang Tuge approaching, he looked puzzled, "From the Si family, haven't you already gone home?"

Jiang Tuge smiled sheepishly, "I forgot to mention something just now. I remember that there are quite a few men here marrying women from Changxing Village."

"Manager Li, we must call this out individually. If there is a tip-off, then our efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!" Steward Li waved his hand to Jiang Tuge, and took the steward's wife from house to house to find the hunter.

When these people heard this, they all hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. Starving to death and following the mountains, they would rather choose the latter.

After Steward Li and his wife came out of the hunters' house, they came to Zhao Ergou's house. Now that everyone who is reliable in Zhuangzi has been notified, Zhao Ergou is the only one missing.

This man is honest and honest, and full of strength. But he is notoriously henpecked, but his wife is from Changxing Village.

After hesitating for a long time, Manager Li decided to inform Zhao Ergou. Hearing the shouts outside the door, Zhao Ergou put on his shoes and clothes and walked out.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was Manager Li and his wife. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled naively, "Manager Li, Auntie, why are you here looking for me so late?"

"Yes!" Manager Li nodded, and then asked Zhao Ergou to close the door.

After he told Zhao Ergou about the discussion with Jiang Tuge, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "So this is what happened, I agreed."

"My father used to be a good hunter, and he has already passed on his hunting skills to me. Don't worry, I will never let you and Madam Jiang down."

Hearing this, Manager Li nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I know you are reliable. Our hundreds of lives depend on this water source."

Zhao Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment and grinned with his teeth bared. Just as they were talking, the voice of Zhao Ergou's wife came over.

"Ergou, who is it so late? What's the matter?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep first. I'll go back and talk to you later!" Zhao Ergou shouted towards the yard, and then Ergou's wife stopped talking.

Manager Li tightened his eyes. Although Ergou's wife had been married to Yunzhuang for many years, she was still from Changxing Village at heart. Besides, she still has her parents at home. If she knew about this, she would definitely go home and tell the people in Changxing Village.

"Ergou, I still have something to tell you, and you must do it!" Manager Li looked serious, making Zhao Ergou think he had made some mistake.

"Steward Li, tell me!" Zhao Ergou swallowed. Although he was usually a rich man, he was still wary of the steward.

Manager Li didn't waste any more time and lowered his voice and said, "You must never tell your wife about this matter. Even if she forces you to tell her, you can't tell her."

Hearing this, Zhao Ergou couldn't understand. It's just going into the mountains to hunt tigers and find water. Is there anything I can't tell my wife about?

Manager Li curled his lips, knowing that this fool didn't understand what he meant. Not worried about offending anyone at the moment, Manager Li pointed it out directly, "Ergou, your wife is from Changxing Village." "Why do we go into the mountains to find water sources? It's not because the people in Changxing Village changed the river course. They are We, the people in Yunzhuang, are going to starve to death."

"It's not that I can't trust your wife, but this matter concerns everyone's lives. In other words, you have hundreds of lives hanging on your lips, do you understand?"

After the words fell, Zhao Ergou was stunned. He really planned to go back and told his wife everything, but now that he heard what Manager Li said, he didn't dare.

The lady in charge was afraid that Zhao Ergou couldn't hold it in any longer, so she quickly added, "Ergou, your uncle and Madam Jiang came up with this matter."

"Ms. Jiang also took risks and went into the mountains to find it. If you let it slip, Mrs. Jiang's hard work will be in vain."

"Don't forget, if it hadn't been for Lady Jiang, your father would have died long ago."

When Zhao Ergou heard about this incident and Jiang Tuge was involved, he immediately said, "Manager Li, Auntie, don't worry, I will never tell my family."

In his heart, Jiang Tuge was the benefactor of their family. Nowadays, apart from taking charge of things in the village, he only listens to Jiang Tuge.

Since Jiang Tuge made such a request, he would definitely keep his mouth shut.

Seeing that Zhao Ergou had promised not to talk nonsense, Manager Li and his wife relieved their worries.

"Okay, Ergou, you go back to bed quickly. We will come out early tomorrow morning, and you must bring your tools with you, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand!" Zhao Ergou nodded, and after seeing off Manager Li and his wife, he turned and walked back to his home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, a scream reached Zhao Ergou's ears.

He looked down and saw that it was his wife. He stepped forward, helped his wife up, and said, "Why are you here? What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Ergou's wife said with a cold face, "I don't do anything. I just want to know what the two stewards are looking for you."

"It's a good thing for you, sneaking aside and talking. I know, you don't regard me, Qi Damei, as the wife of Yunzhuang."

Zhao Ergou was stunned for a moment, looked at Qi Damei and said, "So it's because of this incident. What are you so angry about?"

"I'm talking to two big men, Manager Li, and there's no way a woman can get involved."

Qi Damei was not happy when she heard this. She was not blind at her young age, "Don't act so careless with me here. Do you think I didn't see you?"

"It wasn't just you and Manager Li, but also the manager's wife. Okay, I've seen clearly. I'll leave now and won't stay here to hinder your eyes."

After saying that, Qi Damei angrily went into the room and packed up her clothes. The movements of her hands were not fast. She wanted to wait for Zhao Ergou to come over and compromise with her and tell her what she had just said.

But she waited for a while, but did not wait until Zhao Ergou came to comfort her. This trick of hers worked well in the past. Why is it different today?

She turned around and looked at Zhao Ergou, holding her arms and said, "I'm giving you a chance, don't tell me!"
