Chapter 124 Confusion and Fear

Hongyu didn't stop, but got some dead branches nearby and continued working.

There were many footprints around him, and traces of being dragged back and forth by the firewood used to tie him up were enough to cover up the footprints of both men.

Qin Siyu just slipped and fell down, it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Time passed minute by minute, and the area around here was covered with traces of his work. Of course, he really was collecting firewood for the winter.

Seeing that the firewood had piled up into a small hill, he smiled with satisfaction.

It was getting dark and it was almost time.

Only then did Hongyu look for someone nearby in a panic.

"Mr. Hongyu, where is Qin Siyu? Why are you here alone?" Wang Yan didn't see anyone behind Mr. Hongyu, so he came here alone.

"No, Siyu...she fell off the cliff!" After saying this, his eyes were slightly red.

"What!"

"this……"

"How could this happen?" Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that just going up the mountain to get some firewood would lead to such a big thing.

"Oh, hurry up and call someone!"

"Zhang Qiang, hurry back to find the captain and tell him that Qin Siyu fell off the cliff. Let's go over there with Hongyu to take a look." Zhao Gang was also confused when he heard this.

But a decision was made quickly. This matter was not something they could handle alone.

"I...I'll be there right away!" Zhang Qiang hurried down the mountain to look for someone. It was getting dark, so he had to hurry.

This winter the days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark in an instant.

"Tell us, what happened?" Wang Yan felt cold sweat all over her body. This person disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This is a human life.

"We thought we'd go somewhere farther away, where there would be more dead branches, but we didn't expect it to be so far away."

"I wasn't paying attention at the time. We were both working on our own. She might have slipped and accidentally fell down. I didn't have time to catch her." Hong Yu's eyes were red. No one would have thought of what this man had done.

"Oh, this..." Wang Yan didn't know what to say.

"Hmph, I think this is the case that evildoers will be punished by God." Zhao Meili felt a little relieved.

You deserve it!

Let her threaten her, now she is old, and something bad can happen when she goes up the mountain to pick up firewood.

Maybe God is helping her.

"Meili, don't talk nonsense. It's a human life after all. We have been together for so long, so we are roommates at least." Wang Yan felt that it was not easy for them to be educated youth, so how could they add insult to injury at this time.

"Come on, you are a fool, I won't say anything." Zhao Meili followed behind everyone embarrassedly.

Zhang Qiang ran down the mountain and hurried to find the team leader.

"Captain, it's over! Qin Siyu fell off a cliff!"

"What?" The captain was so scared that he dropped the pipe in his hand.

"I...a few of us thought that since the New Year was approaching, we should go up the mountain to get some firewood, but we didn't expect that Qin Siyu would get into trouble." Zhang Qiang's legs were numb from running, and he rolled and crawled all the way down the mountain.

"Boss, hurry up, people from Xihe Village, go up the mountain to look for him!" When the team leader heard this, he was shocked and quickly took people to search the mountain.

The team leader and Zhang Qiang led a group of strong men up the mountain.

After searching all the way, we finally found the place where Hongyu and the others were. It was already dark at this time.

"Did you find the person?" The captain's face was heavy.

"I...we...this place is too high and too steep. We don't dare to get down." Hongyu deliberately found a very steep cliff. How could they dare to go down to look for someone? They were afraid that they would get killed before finding Qin Siyu.

Who doesn't cherish his own life.

The captain also looked down and saw a cold wind blowing towards him, and the water was bottomless.

"Captain...this...I guess no one would dare to go down the cave. Isn't this sending their lives in?" The villagers who came together trembled when they saw it. Who would dare to go down the cave to look for someone?

"Woo-ah..." The wolf's howl echoed throughout the mountain.

"Captain, let's go back quickly. The beasts are all hungry now." Who wouldn't be afraid? There are many large wild animals in these mountains, such as tigers, wolves, black bears, etc.

"Let's report it to the police tomorrow." As the captain, he must report it since someone is missing for no reason.

The captain turned around and looked at Hongyu, his eyes filled with unclear emotions.

This is too strange.

Although Hongyu knew that the captain had glanced at him, he remained calm. A stable psychological quality is a compulsory course for their family.

The next day, the team leader reported the incident to his superiors and also reported the case to the public security bureau.

But even though so many people searched the mountain, they couldn't find any trace of Qin Siyu.

Based on the above, it is most likely that Qin Siyu was eaten by a wild beast.

The matter was thus hastily concluded.

An's father mentioned this matter in the letter to An Li. Knowing that An Li could not return home for the New Year, he sent some dried game to An Li, An Jianjun, and Feng Jiaojiao.

These are the recipes left behind by An Qiqi, and several of his daughters-in-law have learned them.

"Hey, this person is gone just like that." An Li sighed, after all, it was a young life.

Feng Jiaojiao also found it unbelievable. The original heroine was gone just like that?

Why did she feel that it was a little mysterious? She always felt that things would not be that simple.

Although she didn't know what happened, she knew that Qin Siyu was not such a careless person.

"What's wrong?" When An Jianjun came back, he saw that his wife was uneasy, so he went forward and hugged her in his arms.

"I received a letter from my father-in-law today, saying that... Qin Siyu... fell off a cliff and her body was nowhere to be found." Feng Jiaojiao looked up at An Jianjun. Isn't it said that evil will last for thousands of years? How could the heroine just disappear like that?

Looking at his wife's eyes, which showed a hint of fragility amidst fear, An Jianjun hugged her tightly and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid. Everyone will grow old, get sick, and die one day, or pass away suddenly in an accident. These are all unpredictable. As long as we seize the present and live every day of our lives, we will be happy."

An Jianjun thought his wife was frightened by Qin Siyu's affairs, after all, they used to have a good relationship.

But in fact, Feng Jiaojiao felt that she was transported from a book, and she was also confused and afraid about her future.

Even the heroine of the original book has such a big deviation, so what about her?

What will be her ending?
