Lin Chuxia followed a few steps inside.
Village Chief Ma kept babbling on the side; Zhao Juncai didn't want to speak, so Village Chief Ma helped by introducing things for him.
When Lin Chuxia asked questions, Zhao Juncai was reluctant to reply, so Village Chief Ma stepped in to answer for him.
After a brief understanding since Lin Chuxia wasn't there to learn about herbal cultivation, she said to Village Chief Ma, "Let's go have a look at other households."
With Zhao Juncai acting this way, Village Chief Ma felt a bit embarrassed, so upon hearing Lin Chuxia's suggestion, he promptly agreed.
There were herbal fields nearby, and Village Chief Ma led them to a few other households.
By the second or third household, Lin Chuxia gradually sensed something was off.
If Zhao Juncai's aloofness was due to his personality, the owners of the next two houses were equally indifferent, with one even unwilling to let them enter the herbal fields, showing clear vigilance.
