Finally someone understood what he meant. Goudan nodded madly with joy and kept wagging his tail at Shen Changan.

"Okay, let's go now."

"Teacher Shen, I'm going too."

Jiang Yi carried a sickle, which he could use in case his sister got entangled by vines.

If you encounter a wild beast in the mountains, it is always better to have a weapon than to be empty-handed.

"You're too young to help, so you should stay home and take care of the children."

Shen Changan was worried that Jiang Li also cared about the child.

Zhang Guocai came over with a machete in hand. "It's not safe for you to go up the mountain alone after dark. I'd better go with you."

In Zhang Guocai's opinion, Shen Changan has delicate skin and tender flesh, and his face is so white. What kind of heavy work can such a creamy boy do?

You can tell at a glance that he grew up in the city and has definitely never lived in the mountains.

Finding his niece is such a big thing, he must do it personally to feel at ease.

"Jiang Yi, is it okay for you to take care of two children by yourself?"

Zhang Guocai still gave a warning with concern, and Jiang Yi shook his head with a wry smile. Could he say there was a problem?

"Then I'll hand my two nephews over to you. Take good care of them and wait for your uncle to find your sister."

Zhang Guocai gently kicked Goudan's butt. Goudan, who had been squatting waiting for them to finish talking, quickly stood up and led the way.

Goudan was very familiar with Jiang Li's smell, so he took the two of them and started from the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Li followed a group of people along this small path at around 2 p.m.

At present, Goudan did not smell any other scent except the smell left by 2 o'clock.

Zhang Guocai walked in front carrying a sickle, while Shen Changan walked slowly behind him, but he was actually observing the surrounding environment.

Goudan had just led them for two miles when they suddenly heard the barking of dogs.

Few people in the village keep dogs. This dog's barking is very loud, and it is obvious that it is a big dog that is well fed and watered.

In this day and age, many people in the village can’t even get enough food or warm clothes, so where would they get so much food for the dogs?

The dog's voice was full of strong provocation. It must have discovered Goudan and was barking to warn it.

Goudan stopped in his tracks, his hair standing on end with fear.

Even if it came from space, it was just a puppy, and puppies are naturally afraid of big dogs.

Goudan didn't dare to move forward, and Zhang Guocai kept urging him.

"Just go forward bravely. Don't be afraid. Your uncle is here. How can you let other dogs bite you?"

Zhang Guocai patted his chest and said domineeringly. Goudan turned his head and looked at him distrustfully.

It thought to itself, others have four people, a dog and a gun, what do you have?

Just because you carry a broken sickle on your shoulder, does that mean you can be invincible?

Zhang Guocai didn't understand Goudan's contemptuous look and kept urging it to leave quickly.

Goudan had no choice but to move forward.

Shen Changan, who had been following Zhang Guocai, suddenly took a detour to the side path.

Zhang Guocai walked towards the direction of the barking dog, cursing under his breath.

"Today I want to see who is so bold as to stop me from going up the mountain to look for my niece!"

Zhang Guocai walked faster and faster. He went around a tree and was about to take a big stride forward when suddenly a hunting rifle was stretched out towards him, with the black muzzle pointing at his forehead.

The cold touch gave Zhang Guocai goosebumps all over his body.

He has been in society for many years and has seen shameless people and bullies. He even has to resort to violence when he can't convince some people.

But he was definitely the only one who didn't say anything and just pointed a shotgun at his head.

Zhang Guocai was completely frightened. He stood there with his eyes wide open for a long time, not daring to speak. After a long time, he mustered up the courage to speak in a stammering voice.

"Brother, brothers, we are all civilized people. If we have something to say, we should talk it out nicely. Let's talk it out nicely!"

Zhang Guocai stretched out his hand to take the hunting rifle away, but the other party exerted so much force on his hand that a mark was left on Zhang Guocai's forehead.

"There's been an accident on the mountain, and we're dealing with it now. Please leave immediately!"

The other party scolded him mercilessly with a cold face. Only then did Zhang Guocai, the fearless man, realize that he had stirred up a hornet's nest.

These people are not ordinary villagers, otherwise they would not be holding hunting rifles in their hands.

The captain also has a hunting rifle, but he never takes it out and points it at anyone's head.

Zhang Guocai's eyes widened, realizing that these people were not normal.

His niece went up the mountain and hasn't come back yet. He wanted to go look for her, but was persuaded to give up halfway.

On the surface, they seem to have good intentions, but in reality, aren't they restricting them?

The mountain is public property and there is no place where they cannot walk.

Now these people are blocking them here and not letting them leave, which shows that these people have big problems!

Zhang Guocai thought it was simple when he first went up the mountain to look for it, but now he feels terrified when he thinks about it carefully.

Will Jiang Li, a weak woman, be in danger alone on the mountain? Can she get down the mountain safely?

What if I get captured and sold or tortured by these people?

The more Zhang Guocai thought about it, the more frightened he became. He silently clenched his fists. If the other party didn't have a gun, he would definitely fight them to the death.

Now we can only leave first, so that we can at least report the case and let the public security comrades handle these problems.

Zhang Guocai made up his mind and immediately put on a smiling face.

"What are you doing? I went up the mountain to chop wood. I was just about to cook when I realized we're out of firewood. You're not going to block me from going this way, are you?"

"You refused to leave just now, so it's not that easy to leave now. Come on, tie him up and take him to the mountain!"

Zhang Guocai didn't expect that even though he had already given in and took the initiative to explain the reasons to them, he was still tied up and taken away!

Zhang Guocai realized the crisis of the situation and became more and more worried about the safety of his niece.

Zhang Guocai was anxious for a while and suddenly remembered, where is Shen Changan, who had been clamoring to find Jiang Li?

He had a gun pointed at his head, so how come Shen Changan was fine?

Logically speaking, shouldn't he be dealt with along with him?

Could it be that he saw danger and just ran away?

When Zhang Guocai thought of this possibility, he became so angry that his teeth itched.

I thought to myself that good-looking men are really unreliable. They run faster than rabbits when there is any danger.

An unreliable man like Shen Changan wants to pursue his niece, dream on!

Zhang Guocai was feeling indignant when he heard a whooshing sound. The hunting rifle against his forehead suddenly loosened and fell to the ground with a thud.

A dark shadow rushed up to him and before anyone could react, he bent down and picked up the hunting rifle.

"Don't move! Put your hands up! If anyone dares to move, I'll blow their head off!"
