As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing this sound, both Meng Yi and the man's eyes showed a hint of panic and unease. After exchanging a glance, the farmer asked in a questioning tone, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Li, it's me," came the reply.

After a moment of silence, the person outside spoke again in a low voice.

Hearing this voice, the farmer, known as Uncle Li, sighed in relief, but Meng Yi's eyes still showed a hint of caution.

When the farmer went to open the door, Meng Yi quickly hid behind a nearby tree.

Meng Yi only walked out when he saw that the man was not followed by anyone.

"Li San, why are you here at this time?" he asked.

Li San was the nephew of the farmer. Both of them were Xiao Junhao's men, but they had been arranged to stay here by the Qing Mansion a long time ago.
