It had been a long time since the village had such a grand celebration. Everyone came to help, including the teachers and Wen Li.

The food in the countryside is not as rich as that in the city. What we have is nothing more than cured meat, cured fish, and various pickles and pickles pickled by villagers at home. There are many kinds of food, and the variety is also very rich.

Wen Li and Teacher Zhang were responsible for going to the village head's vegetable cellar to get the vegetables stored in the spring. Teacher Zhang was a little afraid of heights, so the responsibility of going down to the vegetable cellar fell on Wen Li.

She went down with the basket, and when it was full she pulled the rope. Teacher Zhang pulled the basket up, put the vegetables in the backpack, and then put the basket down.

The two of them worked well together and soon filled up the basket. Teacher Zhang shouted downstairs, "Fill up the basket, and we'll go back."

Wen Li agreed. The light in the vegetable cellar came from the sun above her head, and the vegetables she could see around her had just been moved, so she had to change her position and move the vegetables deeper into the cellar.

Teacher Zhang was waiting for her upstairs.

While I was waiting, someone outside the yard suddenly shouted, "Ouch, it hurts so much."

The voice sounded flustered and anxious, and was not far from Teacher Zhang, just a few steps away.

Teacher Zhang called downstairs, "Wen Li, I'm going to take a look outside and will be back soon."

Wen Li didn't take it seriously and agreed.

Teacher Zhang ran out of the yard and saw An Wen. She was kneeling on one leg, which happened to be the leg that was injured before, and she tried to support her body with both hands, but failed.

Teacher Zhang hurried over to help An Wen up. She looked at the pair of small leather shoes on An Wen's feet and said with some disapproval, "The roads in the village are very difficult to walk on. It's too easy for you to fall in leather shoes. Your legs are fine, you should pay more attention to it."

An Wen admitted her mistake very embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, it's my fault. I just thought that today was a farewell party and I had to leave a good impression on the villagers, so I thought about dressing up nicely and forgot that the roads in the village were difficult to walk on."

Teacher Zhang disagreed, "You don't have to dress up nicely to leave a good impression. You need to really help the villagers and do practical things for them. That's the way to really leave a good impression."

An Wen naturally admitted her mistake again with a very sincere attitude.

Teacher Zhang saw that An Wen's new clothes were all dirty and she kept holding her knees in pain. Thinking of how An Wen had broken her leg before and caused a lot of trouble to the villagers, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen before she left, so he thought about sending An Wen back safely first.

As a female teacher, she was not as strong as the male teachers, so she could not hold An Wen. There was no signal on the mobile phone at this time, and the villagers and other teachers gathered in the square to help prepare the banquet.

She had no choice but to run back and shouted to Wen Li in the vegetable cellar, "There's a little trouble. I'll go get someone to help. I'll be back in about five minutes."

Wen Li said, "I understand."

Teacher Zhang ran to the square, wanting to call a male teacher for help.

Yu Jingchen came over with her, and the two of them carried An Wen to the square, repeatedly telling her not to run around anymore and just wait patiently for dinner.

After settling An Wen, Teacher Zhang went to look for Wen Li. When he arrived, he saw that the door of the vegetable cellar was closed and the basket of vegetables was gone.

She thought Wen Li couldn't wait for her to come back, so he went back with the vegetables on his back, so she went back to the square to look for Wen Li.

It was a very chaotic day today. Everyone was busy with a lot of things. There were a lot of people coming and going in the square. Teacher Zhang looked for Wen Li for a long time but couldn't find him.

She went to ask her mother-in-law, who was in charge of cutting vegetables and cooking, "Have the vegetables been delivered?"

Grandma pointed to a large basin of washed wild vegetables on the ground and said, "They are all here."

Only then did Teacher Zhang feel relieved and went to help with other things.

When the long table was set up and everyone was seated, Huo Yuanchen came over and asked Teacher Zhang, "Where's Wen Li?"

Teacher Zhang was stunned. "Didn't you see Wen Li either?"

Huo Yuanchen was also stunned. "Didn't she go with you to get the vegetables? The food is ready now, why can't I see her?"

Teacher Zhang panicked. "It's true that Wen Li and I went to the vegetable cellar together, but we didn't come back together. She couldn't wait for me and came back first. And I also asked my mother-in-law, and she said the vegetables have been delivered."

Huo Yuanchen's expression suddenly turned very ugly, "Take me to the vegetable cellar quickly."

He ran all the way to the vegetable cellar. Teacher Zhang also ran, but she couldn't keep up with Huo Yuanchen's speed.

When Huo Yuanchen saw the tightly fastened wooden board above the vegetable cellar, his expression became even uglier.

He immediately lifted the wooden board and jumped into the vegetable cellar. The darkness before him made him feel uncomfortable for a short time, and even his hand holding the phone was shaking.

"Wen Li." Huo Yuanchen called.

No one responded to him.

"Wen Li!"

As he shouted, he turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone. The light swept across the vegetable cellar and he saw Wen Li at a glance.

It was curled up in a ball, squatting motionless deep in the vegetable cellar. Its face was pale, its eyes were wide open, its gaze was dull and without a trace of emotion. It was like a beautiful, soulless puppet.

Huo Yuanchen's heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone and it hurt so much.

"Wen Li, don't be afraid, I'm here to pick you up."

He took two steps towards her and hugged her.

The person in his arms was indifferent and didn't respond at all.

As quiet as a sculpture.

Huo Yuanchen felt mixed emotions. He picked up Wen Li and carried her out of the vegetable cellar.

When Teacher Zhang saw Wen Li, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wen Li, why is she in the vegetable cellar? I thought she had gone upstairs a long time ago."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her with a cold gaze, like a knife, which made her shudder.

"Where are the car keys?" Huo Yuanchen asked Wen Li.

Others didn't understand Wen Li's situation, but he knew it very well. She had been in the dark and secluded vegetable cellar for so long, she must have fallen ill again.

In this case, he would definitely send her to the hospital. Although he knew that the hospital in this town could not solve Wen Li's problem, it was better than nothing.

He would never dare to just leave Wen Li in the village and do nothing, waiting for her to recover slowly.

Wen Li naturally wouldn't answer his question. At this moment, she couldn't see, hear, or feel anyone or anything. She was trapped in a closed space and couldn't get out.

Huo Yuanchen finally found the car keys in her pocket. When he carried her to the car, his movements were extremely gentle, and he even took the vegetable leaves off her hair and arranged her hair meticulously.

I kept comforting her while helping her fasten her seat belt.

"It's okay, Wen Li, it's okay."

Wen Li still had no reaction and refused to communicate with him.

Huo Yuanchen didn't say hello to anyone, started the car, and sped towards the town.

On the way, he kept speaking to Wen Li in a gentle tone, calling her name over and over again, trying to wake her up from the nightmare.

It was not until they were almost at the hospital that Wen Li, who had been sitting quietly in the passenger seat, said something.

"Huo Yuanchen, I'm so scared."
