Chapter 48: Old Lady Luo is missing, Lin Xiuzhi's guess

No matter whether others are happy, congratulating, or saying sarcastic things, Lin Xiuzhi and Pan Wenlan walked home with the dead rabbit after work.

When they got home, they shouted: "Sang Ning, let's have a feast, let's eat rabbit meat today."

Lin Xiuzhi was smiling and was thinking about what to eat, but now she didn't have to worry.

The Jiang family's braised rabbit meat was stewed, and the aroma was so good that most of the village could smell it. Old Lady Luo was still angry on the way, and her shrewd little eyes kept looking.

"Mom, what are you looking for?" Luo Yiping was anxious to go home. He was sweaty after working all day, so he went back to boil some water to wash clothes.

Old Mrs. Luo waved her hands and said vaguely: "Son, you go back first, I'll go over there and take a look."

As she said this, she walked towards the back mountain, and Luo Yiping couldn't stop.

There was no other way, Luo Yiping went home by himself, and was embarrassed to bother Zhao Jiayun, so he boiled some water to wash himself and knocked on Zhao Jiayun's door.

"Are you home? What do you want to eat tonight?"

Zhao Jiayun opened the door, holding a handkerchief in her hand, which contained the money she had saved recently. She glanced into the yard casually, "Where's Mom?"

"She went out."

Now there were only the two of them at home, Zhao Jiayun tentatively said: "Yiping, what are your plans for the future?"

Luo Yiping looked at her in surprise. Looking at Zhao Jiayun, he didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question, and said lightly: "Work, build a house."

That's not right, Zhao Jiayun stamped her feet anxiously, and asked directly: "Have you ever thought about going out to play?"

"No." Luo Yiping's decisive answer made Zhao Jiayun even angrier. He sulked for a while and walked into the house with a sullen face.

Luo Yiping pretended not to see it. The weather outside was getting darker. He had been cooking at home for a while, but his mother hadn't come back yet. He was about to go out to look for her, but Zhao Jiayun held him back indifferently.

"The village is so small, maybe she went to visit someone. Have you ever thought about going out to make money? You can't make much money by farming at home."

Zhao Jiayun couldn't stop urging him. As long as Luo Yiping had this idea, she would give him money to do business, and he would soon become rich.

Luo Yiping broke away from her hand and put down his bowl and chopsticks coldly: "Eat by yourself, I'll go out to look for her."

Luo Yiping walked around Changxing Village and didn't see anyone. He was afraid that he would see her wrong again in the dark. He shouted while looking for her, and his voice became hoarse, but he still didn't see her.

More than an hour had passed since he realized something was wrong. Luo Yiping ran to the captain's house, bent over and panted, "Captain, it's bad, my mother is missing."

"What, how could a living person disappear?" Jiang Zongzheng had just finished his meal and felt uneasy for a moment. He even suspected that Changxing Village had encountered some bad luck recently. Why did something happen every other day?

"After we got off work, my mother said she would go to the back mountain to check, but she hasn't come home yet. I went to the back mountain to check, but there was no one there."

What could Jiang Zongzheng do? He cursed in his heart and greeted the eight generations of Luo's ancestors, but he still had to organize people to go to the village to look for her.

Pan Wenlan was holding her son in the yard and learning to read. Lin Xiuzhi and Jiang's father went to rest in the house. Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan were also in the yard. They didn't talk, but they were very harmonious when they sat together.

Chu Sangning was about to go back to the house. She saw a light outside through the crack of the door. She stood up and walked slowly closer. She found that several men were holding torches and shouting everywhere.

"Auntie Luo, Auntie Luo--"

"Auntie, Auntie Luo, where are you, Auntie Luo."

The voices were louder and louder. Chu Sangning opened the door and blinked curiously, "Hey, brother, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Auntie Luo hasn't returned home since work. Her son said that she disappeared in the back mountain. The team leader asked us to help find her."

Back mountain? Chu Sangning nodded in thanks and closed the door again, then turned around and threw herself into Jiang Xingyan's arms.

Her head hit his hard muscles directly, and she was so scared that she covered her head and whispered, "What are you doing? You're so close, you scared me."

"Sorry, let me see." Jiang Xingyan really thought Chu Sangning was hurt, and nervously pulled her hand to move forward.

Fortunately, Pan Wenlan covered her son's curious eyes in time and coughed twice as a reminder: "Hey, Sang Ning, what's going on outside?"

"It is said that Luo Yiping's mother disappeared in the back mountain, and the villagers are looking for her all over the village."

Hearing this good news, Lin Xiuzhi couldn't sleep. She came out with her clothes on and smiled, pointing her finger at Chu Sang Ning and said: "With Luo's temper, I know what shit she is going to do as soon as she sticks her butt out."

"She must be greedy. I caught a rabbit in the afternoon and ran to the back mountain by herself."

Pan Wenlan looked worried: "Nothing will happen, right? Didn't the elders say that the back mountain is dangerous? How dare Luo's wife go there? "

Lin Xiuzhi sighed and shook her head, "It's different. There's no danger at the foot of the mountain. Telling the children is just to scare them not to play there."

"There are all kinds of things in the depths of the mountain. Just two years ago, there was a hunter in our village who went there and never came back. It's been two years now, and all the bones and meat have been eaten by those big things."

Lin Xiuzhi said with a smirk, looking in the direction of the back mountain, and sighed: "It depends on how smart the Luo family is. After all, you can go into the deep mountains but you can't come back alive."

The search for people in Changxing Village was quite large. A dozen strong young men held torches and searched everywhere in groups of three or five.

It was so noisy that no one could sleep. Lin Xiuzhi simply put on her clothes, sat in the yard with the door open, and watched them search.

The Jiang family was quite close to the back mountain, basically only four or five hundred meters away. There was no need to go up to see the excitement. You could hear some of it in your own home.

After searching for two rounds, no one was found. Seeing that everyone was tired, Jiang Zongzheng waved his hand and told them to go home and rest.

Luo Yiping was tired and stood in front of Jiang Zongzheng, saying anxiously: "Captain, we can't stop. My mother hasn't been found yet."

"Your mother hasn't been found, but don't you see how hard everyone has helped you search?" Everyone was so tired that they yawned all the time and couldn't even walk steadily. What was there to search for?

Besides, everyone has to work tomorrow. If they don't get enough rest, who will be held responsible for the deduction of work points?

Knowing that Luo Yiping was anxious, Jiang Zongzheng softened his tone and comforted him: "Your mother may have returned home. She is such a big person, how can she get lost like a child?"

"Captain, please, let's look for her again, please." Luo Yiping bowed to everyone, making everyone feel embarrassed to go back first.

Moreover, Luo Yiping was quite popular in the village. He was honest and simple. At this time, everyone bowed to him. After discussing, several men suggested: "Captain, let's look for her again."
