Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou subconsciously looked around.
Immediately after, Zhang Hu muttered, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't spout nonsense!"
Seeing how tense they were, Wang Chen suddenly chuckled and said, "I was just joking. Although the orchard is a good hiding place,
it is close to the village. Any noise would bring villagers and police over. Only an idiot of a convict would come here."
Zhang Hu nodded, "Exactly, let's not dwell on these crappy matters and get back to work. If we finish early, we can go home sooner."
Though they said they weren't scared, everyone felt a bit uneasy.
After all, it was an escaped murderer, and whoever encountered him was unlikely to fare well.
Perhaps in a hurry to get home before dark, the three of them worked and ate much faster than before.
The tasks that would usually be completed around seven or eight o'clock were finished by a little past five.
