"A trap?" Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang's expressions immediately turned solemn as they came over to inspect it together.
Chiang Songhai hesitated for a moment, not quite daring to be certain as he said, "Could that really be the case?"
In the village, he had always been kind to everyone—he really hadn't offended anyone, let alone Old Li. Old Li had even gotten medicine from him before, though he couldn't remember how many times, but Chiang Songhai had never charged him.
And when buying things at the grocery store, he had never run a tab.
But as soon as his words finished, the experienced Ge Dejun was the first to find the tightly stretched vine.
Vines were common in the area, and maybe that was why, even if they had seen it, they wouldn't have paid it any mind. But this vine was taut, and when pulled, it didn't budge.
Chiang Xiao pushed a rock down the slope, and immediately several sharp branches were pressed down.
Ge Dejun's face darkened.
