When Brother Yu arrived at the brigade leader's house, he was stunned.
"Osmanthus! Big Pillar!"
His wife and son are at the brigade leader's house!
Isn't Jiang Ci right next to his wife?
"You...you didn't go up the mountain? Were you brought back? How are you? Are you injured?"
Brother Yu rushed to Sister-in-law Yu's side and asked anxiously.
Sister-in-law Yu waved her hand, "It's alright, didn't you see my clothes aren't even very wet?"
Brother Yu: "You...you didn't go up the mountain?"
Dazhu blurted out, "We hadn't even gone up the mountain when Aunt Lian called us to work. We hadn't been working for long when it started raining, so we had to go to Aunt Lian's house to take shelter from the rain."
When Brother Yu heard that they hadn't gone up the mountain, he breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at Jiang Ci, and slapped his head hard. "Oh no! Second Brother thought you went up the mountain, so he rushed out and headed up the mountain right away."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ci's previously relaxed expression changed drastically. She quickly walked up to Brother Yu and asked nervously, "What did you say?"
"The second son went up the mountain!"
Jiang Ci's mind went blank for a moment, then anxiety flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said in an unfriendly tone, "Why did he run up the mountain if he wasn't coming with you?"
His heavy gaze fell outside the door. The rain was pouring down, and the thunder roared like a ferocious beast incessantly across the sky, gradually closing the distance between heaven and earth. The rain curtain connected heaven and earth, making it hard to breathe.
With such heavy rain, has Zhou Mingli gone mad? Head up the mountain!
Brother Yu added, "He heard you were going up the mountain... so he just ran out... Hey, Jiang Ci! What are you doing!"
Jiang Ci: "Go home!"
Fuck you.
Jiang Ci ran towards the mountain.
...
Jiang Ci felt that her understanding with Zhou Mingli had not yet reached the point where they were of one mind and could guess each other's whereabouts.
With such heavy rain, it's extremely difficult to find out where Zhou Mingli entered the mountains from.
Jiang Ci should have asked the brigade leader for help, just like Brother Yu did, so that he could gather the men in the production team and go into the mountains with her to search for the person.
E-Ceramic has always been able to calmly analyze the pros and cons and then make the best solution.
She should have done that.
But she didn't know why she rushed out.
Perhaps Jiang Ci's usually calm and collected demeanor crumbled after hearing that Zhou Mingli had gone up the mountain alone. Her nerves were taut, and she couldn't tell whether it was anger or some other emotion that filled her chest, making it feel like it was about to explode and preventing her from thinking effectively.
This was even more unsettling for Jiang Ci than when she first heard that woman asking Zhou Mingli when they were getting a divorce. Jiang Ci's steps quickened, faster and faster. The rain was so heavy that her vision blurred, and raindrops stung her eyes, making her wish she could find Zhou Mingli right now and have a huge fight with him.
Jiang Ci, her emotions churning, walked to the Yu family's door and saw her bicycle lying overturned inside.
Then I returned to my front door.
The door was locked.
Following the path from her house toward the mountains, the deep and shallow footprints stretched forward, only to be obscured by the rain.
Jiang Ci wiped the rain off her face and quickly saw the footprints, which were then mercilessly obscured by the rain.
Zhou Mingli really went up the mountain.
Too many conflicting thoughts flashed through Jiang Ci's mind in an instant, and confusion and helplessness disappeared without a trace before she could even catch them.
Jiang Ci gritted her teeth, and rain streamed from the corners of her eyes.
She looks like she's crying.
Jiangci's heart is like a field scorched by fire and soaked by heavy rain, so desolate that when you walk on it, you are stepping on ashes that have been burned away. Everywhere you look is incredibly desolate.
Zhou Mingli, that idiot dared to go up the mountain alone!
Jiang Ci followed the footprints that had been almost washed away by the torrential rain and rushed out without looking up.
...
Thunder roared.
The raindrops pattered down, and every step on the muddy road filled my shoes with mud and water.
Zhou Mingli was soaked to the bone, his shoes filled with mud and water. His feet left deep marks in the mud, and his soles were covered with mud mixed with rainwater, making every step he took extremely difficult.
No fewer than ten different scenarios of Jiang Ci being trapped in the mountains had repeatedly flashed through his mind. Any one of them would have been enough to drive Zhou Mingli crazy, making it impossible for him to endure even a second on the road.
At this moment, Zhou Mingli was filled with regret. He regretted that he had deliberately distanced himself from Jiang Ci because of his pitiful unrequited love and that he had not talked to her enough. He didn't even know why Jiang Ci had gone up the mountain.
He was not good enough as a partner or as a husband.
Zhou Mingli's mind was a jumble of thoughts. One moment Jiang Ci's bright and flamboyant smile flashed through his mind, the next his cold and arrogant demeanor, and then his bright, cheerful, and pure smile.
Jiangci Jiangci Jiangci.
Jiang Ci was on his mind the whole time.
Where could she go? Where did she go?
To Zhou Mingli's despair, he realized that he had no way of knowing where she had gone.
Find her quickly, discover her even faster.
Every second wasted on the road could mean the worst that could happen to Jiang Ci himself on the mountain.
The mountain before Zhou Mingli resembled the entrance to an abyss, exuding a menacing, deathly stillness. No one who stepped inside would meet a good end.
Looking at the merciless mountains and forests, Zhou Mingli was so desperate that he was almost going crazy.
His eyes were bloodshot, and without pausing, his muddy feet strode heavily and hurriedly into the forest.
