Wang Jiachuan had been waiting in the room. When he saw Sheng Xiping and the others return, he came up to them and patted them on the shoulder one by one to comfort them.

"Sigh, what a mess this is for a perfectly good Mid-Autumn Festival. It's the middle of the night, everyone should go home and rest."

Wang Jiachuan was in low spirits. He waved to everyone, telling Sheng Xiping and the others to go back and rest.

Traveling back and forth for four or five hours late at night is really tiring.

Without saying anything else, everyone bid farewell to Wang Jiachuan and went home.

Sheng Xiping led the two dogs back to the Sheng family home. When he saw that there was still light in the east room, he knew that his parents were still awake and waiting for him.

Sheng Xiping led the dog into the yard, tied it up, and then pushed open the door to go inside.

Sheng Xiping had just stepped one foot inside when he saw Zhou Qinglan running out of the east room.

It turns out that Zhou Qinglan didn't return to the collective household registration; she had been waiting for news at the Sheng family's house.

"Xiping, how is it? Have you found the person? Did that black bear escape? Are you alright?"

Zhou Qinglan took two steps forward, grabbed Sheng Xiping's hand, and looked him up and down. Finding nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk." Sheng Xiping pulled Zhou Qinglan's hand, and the two went into the east room.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), craning their necks to look out into the outer room. Seeing their son return safely, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are things? Are those educated youth badly injured? Are they in danger?"

Sheng Liancheng quickly stubbed out his cigarette, coughed, and asked.

"Dad, Mom, everyone from the mountain has been brought back."

Three were seriously injured, two appeared to have injured their legs, and the others had minor injuries.

Director Zheng has already accompanied them to the Songjiang River; I don't know if the three seriously injured men can be saved.
