Chapter 83: Find someone

Da Zhuang’s father, mother, and master followed him up the mountain to fetch water.

The three of them were extremely anxious when they heard that their precious son/grandson was missing.

“Why are they missing?”

“People are staying here well, why are they gone?”

The three of them were extremely anxious.

“Where is that dead girl?” The strong mother roared without seeing the dead girl.

“After discovering that they were missing, she went out to look for them.”

“Li Zheng, you must help us.”

The strong woman knelt down and begged.

Yang Lizheng frowned, “You have this time, you might as well go out and look for her.”

The strong woman immediately stopped crying when Li Zheng was angry.

Su Yin stood up and said, “It’s okay to search for people, but you have to have time. If you can’t find them after half an hour, everyone must come back. We must go down the mountain.”

These words directly angered the Dazhuang family.

The big strong woman jumped out first, “What do you mean? You want to leave us alone? We are from the same village.

Li Zheng said that the whole village must help each other.”

“Now that my son is missing, let Please help me find it, you actually dare to set a time. Do you think you are Li Zheng?”

Yang Lizheng was about to speak, but Su Yin asked the question first.

“When we came here, the third grandfather had already told everyone not to leave here.

But if you don’t abide by the rules and leave without permission, you must bear the losses and injuries yourself.”

“If everyone is like you, If you don’t follow the rules and act haphazardly, you’ll have to let everyone wipe your ass.”

“None of us owe you a family, and we have no obligation to pay for your willful behavior.”

“The third grandfather said that people from the same village and clan should help each other, but the prerequisite is that you must abide by the rules.”

“For the sake of the same clan, giving half an hour is the best explanation.”

Su Yin looked at everyone in Xinghua Village. “I wonder if you all agree?”

She observed the expressions of everyone in the village.

If most of them couldn’t think clearly, then she didn’t want to stay in this team any longer.

If there is a black sheep, sooner or later, the entire team will be dragged down.

If they were all rational, she could take the second step and cut out this cancer.

Mr. Wan Sanye had already figured out Su Yin’s intention and was curiously observing the villagers of Xinghua Village.

Butcher Yang said, “Girl Su is right. If you do something wrong, you should bear the consequences.”

Yang Dashu snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction, “You are dragging us all down now and delaying our journey. We’ve wasted so much time because of this.”

“At this moment, we’re all thinking about the well-being of the clan.”

Aunt Wang added, “Don’t only think about your own family. We are fleeing, not playing, and we don’t have time to accompany you.”

As the voices of condemnation grew louder and louder, the faces of Da Zhuang’s family became particularly grim.

Da Zhuang said, “Alright, half an hour it is. If we can’t find it, our family will stay behind and continue searching. We will definitely not drag everyone down.”

“Please,” Da Zhuang bowed to the whole village in supplication.

Yang Lizheng sighed, “Alright, don’t waste any more time. Each family will send two people out to search separately. Pay attention to safety while searching.”

At the same time, Si Wensheng and his party were descending the mountain, passing by the place where Da Zhuang’s grandmother and Da Zhuang had been tied up. The area was being guarded by someone from Qianshan Village.

Mr. Siwen glanced at the three of them.

A burly man asked in a low voice, “Young Master, do you want to save them?”

The scholar, Siwen, thought of the girl and the old man, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at the disheveled figures. His lips curved into an intriguing smile.

“Suddenly, I thought of a fun game,” he said.

The burly man didn’t understand but refrained from asking further.

“Have someone release the old woman and her grandson,” Siwen instructed.

“Understood.”

The burly man stepped forward, brandishing his knife. The villager from Qianshan Village dared not disobey and quickly untied Da Zhuang and his grandmother.

Da Zhuang’s grandmother couldn’t help but bow deeply to the burly man, expressing her gratitude. “Thank you, thank you, my benefactor.”

The burly man pointed toward the young master descending the mountain. “He’s the one you should thank.”

“Yes, yes,” the grandmother nodded repeatedly, bowing in the direction of the young master.

Da Zhuang, who had been taught a harsh lesson, nestled fearfully in his grandmother’s arms, not daring to make a sound. It was clear that the incident had scared him greatly.

His grandmother picked him up and hurried away as if fleeing the scene.

Meanwhile, Yang Fu, Yang Dashan, and their group of five were heading south when they noticed a figure moving ahead of them.

“Is there someone there?” one of them asked.

Yang Fu squinted and quickly recognized Da Zhuang, running toward them as if his life depended on it.

“It’s them,” someone in the group remarked.

Relieved, the group let out a collective sigh of relief.

They didn’t fall into the dark hole, which was the best news. Falling in would have been a major problem, as rescuing someone from there is no simple task.

When the big, heavyset girl saw Yang Fu and the others, her face lit up with joy.

“I’ve finally found you!”

Yang Dashan looked at the two of them and frowned. “What happened to you?”

“It’s nothing, I just fell,” Da Zhuang’s grandmother quickly replied, changing the subject. “Did you get the water?”

At the mention of water, everyone’s faces lit up with smiles.

“We got it. Once we’re back, we can continue on our journey.”

“That’s great. God bless,” Da Zhuang’s grandmother sighed in relief.

After thinking for a moment, she couldn’t help but ask again, “No one got hurt, right?”

“No,” someone replied.

Only then did she fully relax, her back straightening unconsciously.

Yang Dashan and his group of four went off to inform the others that they didn’t need to search anymore.

Yang Fu stayed and brought Da Zhuang and his grandmother back to the gathering point.

“They’re back!” Yang Fu called out to the people waiting at the gathering spot.

Everyone turned to look at the three of them, their gazes falling on the disheveled grandmother and grandson.

Surprised, someone asked, “What happened to you two?”

Su Yin noticed the scars on Da Zhuang’s face, which were clearly slap marks.

Who was Da Zhuang? A mischievous child spoiled by his family.

For someone like him to be treated this way, it could only mean they had encountered a malicious person.

Mr. Wan San spoke in a low voice, “The ghost has appeared.”

“Yes, it has appeared,” Su Yin replied.

As soon as Da Zhuang returned to a familiar place and saw familiar people, he couldn’t hold back his feelings of grievance any longer and burst into tears.

“Waaaah! Dad, Mom, I thought I’d never see you again!”

Da Zhuang’s parents looked at the slap marks on his face and then at his grandmother. “Mom, what happened? Where did you two go?”

Da Zhuang’s grandmother tried to cover his mouth, but it was too late. Faced with her daughter-in-law’s sharp questioning, she grew visibly angrier.

She subconsciously glanced at Li Zheng and the surrounding villagers, her voice faltering as she said, “I we just went out to look for some food and accidentally fell.”

Su Baozhu sneered. “You don’t look like you fell. You look more like you were beaten.”
