Chapter 134 Come Back to Me

The night is getting darker.

After dinner, Chen Zhanshan thought about the 5,000 kilograms of beets and felt uneasy. Although he was spending the money earned by his daughter, he would also be anxious if he lost everything.

In the past, many people in the village went to the town to sell vegetables, but they couldn’t even earn enough to cover the cost of the bus fare. This kind of beet is expensive and no one knows about it, so no one would buy it!

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He sat on the edge of the bed with a sad face and sighed.

At this time, Chen Qingqing checked the man and turned around to see Lin staring at the cabinet in a daze.

He hurriedly asked, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Lin raised her head, her eyes showing worry, "Qing girl, I tied the door with a rope when we left this morning, but when we came back, the door was open.

The cabinet where the grain was stored was also moved, and the firewood was scattered on the ground. It seemed like someone had been here?"

In fact, Chen Qingqing had already noticed something unusual, and she knew who had visited her home without even thinking about it.

Seeing that the lock on the cabinet was intact, she didn't say anything. She didn't expect Lin to be so thoughtful.

"Mom, is there anything missing at home?"

Lin shook her head. "Nothing is missing, but the house seems to have been rummaged through. I don't know what they are looking for."

Chen Qingqing guessed that the old couple next door came to loot the silver, but she didn't expect that the cabinet was locked, so they failed.

Although he thought so in his heart, in order not to make Lin worry, he said casually, "Since nothing is lost, don't think about it. Maybe there are wild cats or dogs in the house."

Lin nodded, "That's possible. There are still many wild cats in this mountain."

Glancing at Chen Zhanshan, who was sitting silently beside the bed, Chen Qingqing said, "Dad, you'll have to go to the Wu family's old house tonight to sleep. I'm worried about leaving so many beets there."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Just as Chen Zhanshan stood up to leave, Chen Qingqing hurriedly called him, "Dad, don't rush over. I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Dad, starting tomorrow, you don't have to go to the dock to work. Stay home and help me. I can't handle so many beets by myself."

"Okay, Dad, I'll listen to you, but I don't understand what you're going to do with all those beets."

Although Chen Qingqing could theoretically make sugar using the traditional beet method, she had never tried it. If she failed, wouldn't her parents be disappointed? She thought it would be better not to tell anyone about it until the brown sugar was cooked.

She shook her head and smiled, "Dad, you will know tomorrow."

"You're keeping it a secret from your father, girl." Chen Zhanshan said as he stood up. "You and your mother should go to bed early. Your father is going to the Wu family's old house."

…

Chen Qingqing was lying on the bed, feeling anxious when she thought of the unconscious man. She had to make sugar and open a clinic in the town. If the man didn't wake up, she really couldn't keep him any longer.

Suddenly, I heard a cry while I was drowsy.

Chen Qingqing suddenly woke up, hurriedly got dressed and got out of bed, and Lin also came out.

"Mom, it seems to be my second aunt."

Lin nodded and hurriedly opened the door, only to see Sun standing in the yard of the old house, beating her chest and crying bitterly.

Chen Zhanliang kept persuading her, "Don't worry, wife. What if you get sick from worrying? Maybe Dabao will be back soon."

Chen Qingqing walked over quickly and saw, in the dim light, that Sun's eyes were red. "Second Aunt, what happened?"

"Yes Cuiqin, why are you crying? What happened to Dabao?" Lin also asked hurriedly.

Sun stopped crying and said, "Qing girl, Dabao hasn't returned from the Wild Wolf Valley yet. I'm afraid he's in danger."

Chen Qingqing was shocked, "What is Dabao doing in Wild Wolf Valley?"

"I don't know either. It was Erbao who told me. My poor Dabao..."

Chen Erbao was already scared silly, and burst into tears, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't envied Xiaohan for going to school in town, my brother wouldn't have gone to Wild Wolf Valley. I killed my brother..."

Chen Qingqing was also confused. It was probably the hour of Hai, which was around nine o'clock in the evening. If Dabao really went to the Wild Wolf Valley, he would probably be in great danger.

"Erbao, don't cry first. How did you know that Dabao went to Wild Wolf Valley?"

"Sister Qingqing, this is all my fault. Ever since I found out Xiaohan was going to school in town, I told my brother I wanted to learn to read and write. He told me to wait and said he would go to Wild Wolf Valley to dig some ginseng and sell it to get me into the academy."

Erbao cried as he spoke, "Sister Qingqing, my brother must have gone to Wild Wolf Valley to dig ginseng so that I could study. Please find a way to save my brother."

Sun stamped her feet anxiously, "Qing girl, you have to help me. If something happens to my Dabao, I won't be able to live."

"This silly Dabao." Chen Qingqing was extremely anxious. She didn't expect that her careless action would cause so many misunderstandings.

You have to know that in this situation, she couldn't say that she had dug ginseng in the Wild Wolf Valley.

The Wild Wolf Valley is full of dangers, with wolves roaming around and poisonous insects everywhere. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

If something really happened to Dabao, she would feel guilty.

"Erbao, when did your brother leave home?"

"Left early in the morning."

Chen Qingqing was extremely anxious when she heard this. She knew that she could not delay any longer and quickly told Lin who was beside her,

"Mom, there's no time to lose. Go find my dad and have him go find the village head and tell him about Dabao entering the Wild Wolf Valley. Have him quickly gather all the young people in the village and bring plenty of torches to go to the Wild Wolf Valley to look for him."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lin knew something was going to happen and hurried towards the Wu family's old house.

Chen Zhanliang blamed himself a lot. Dabao was absent-minded these days, talking about separating from Old Man Chen every day and not wanting to get involved with them anymore.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that he was just joking, but he didn't expect that the child was so strong-willed and actually went to Wild Wolf Valley alone.

He was anxious and said, "Cuiqin, you stay home and take care of Erbao. I'll go to Wild Wolf Valley to find Dabao."

Although Sun was worried about her son, she still retained the last bit of rationality and hurriedly stopped him, "Zhanliang, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. You should wait for the village head!"

"No, I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, Dabao will be in more danger." After saying this, Chen Zhanliang raised his leg and was about to leave.

Old Mrs. Chen walked out of the house and leaned against the door frame, looking like she was watching something exciting. When she saw Chen Zhanliang turning around and heading to Wild Wolf Valley, she immediately became furious and said, "Stop right there, Old Man! What are you doing so late at night?"

"Mom, Dabao went to Wild Wolf Valley. I want to go find him."

"Where can we find him in the dark? Wild Wolf Valley is full of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. No one who goes in will come out alive. You should stay home with me."

Chen Zhanliang felt a little touched. He didn't expect that at the critical moment, his mother would feel sorry for him and worry about him. But now it was urgent. It was not the time for mother-son affection. It was important to save people.

"Mom, even if I have to die, I have to go to Wild Wolf Valley to save Dabao."

"Come back here!"

Old Lady Chen called back Chen Zhanliang who had turned to leave and gave him a cold look.

"Are you stupid? Dabao hasn't come back yet. He must have been killed by wolves or snakes. Wouldn't it be a waste of your life if you go now?

If you die, what will happen to our family? Who will go up the mountain to collect firewood? Who will farm the few acres of land at home? You are deliberately trying to tire me and your father to death! "

"That's right, your mother is right. You can't go. If anything happens to you, there will be no one to work at home." Old Man Chen also spoke his mind...
