Chapter 7 Are We in the Wrong Place?
Kong Yizhang knew that this girl often went to the mountains since she was a child, and he also understood that what she said made sense. After all, Fu Yancheng's whereabouts could not be discovered: "Comrade Liu, you must pay attention to your own safety. Thank you."
I reached for my pocket and then I realized that I had lent the money to a colleague early in the morning, and there were only a few coins left in my pocket.
An awkward look flashed across his face, but he still stuffed a few coins into Liu Chuxue's pocket and said, "I'm sorry, this is all I have in my pocket. Please call me later to let me know you're safe, so I can rest assured."
The girl not only helped them pass the message, but also led them into the mountains. Now he felt really bad about leaving the girl here alone, but Fu Yancheng's injury could not be delayed any longer, so he had to agree.
After watching them leave, Liu Chuxue broke off some brambles and entered the cave from a secluded place a little further away from the cave.
Quickly clear all traces in the hole. After all, the aunt and nephew are not good people.
When she was about to leave, she saw a flash of light in the corner out of the corner of her eye. She didn't take it seriously at first, but the moment she turned around, the light flashed in the corner again.
Out of curiosity, I plucked up the courage to go forward to check, but the light in the cave was too dim and I didn't find anything unusual after checking.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her middle finger was accidentally scratched by the edge of the cave wall, leaving a bloody wound. As she withdrew her hand, a few drops of blood quickly merged into the ground.
She withdrew her hand with a hiss and cursed in her heart: What a damn bad luck.
After using pressure to stop the bleeding, he took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and bandaged the wound. He glanced at the corner and picked up the bramble he had used before and bandaged it a few more times before leaving the cave.
What she didn't know was that not long after she left the cave, two people came here and asked, "Are you sure it's here?"
"According to the information that person gave, this should be the right place."
The two searched the cave but found nothing: "Did we look in the wrong place?"
"Impossible. This is the only cave nearby that meets all the characteristics she described. It can't be wrong."
"So what should we do next?"
"What can we do? We have tried our best. It is not our fault that we didn't find it."
"But if that person doesn't pay us for the rest, won't all our efforts be in vain?"

When Liu Chuxue arrived at her sister's in-laws' house, it was dinner time, which made the pregnant second granddaughter-in-law of the Qiu family very unhappy: "How can you come to visit relatives at dinner time?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Shaofeng, who had stood up and was about to let his sister-in-law sit down to eat together, looked embarrassed: "Chuxue, why are you here?"
Liu Chuxue glanced at the Qiu family's second grandson's wife who was still acting weird and said, "Brother-in-law, where is my sister?"
Liu Xiaqiu, who was preparing to serve soup in the kitchen, heard her sister's voice and hurried out: "Chuxue, did something happen at home?"
She knew that if there was nothing going on, her second sister would definitely not come over in the middle of the day.
Liu Chuxue didn't want to stay and get in the way, so she didn't mention the loan. She didn't want to embarrass her brother-in-law, and she didn't want her sister to be mocked and bullied by her in-laws. "Sister, Dad got hit by a falling rock at the reservoir yesterday and injured his leg. I came here to tell you."
Just as she finished speaking, the second granddaughter-in-law of the Qiu family, who was listening attentively, said with a gloating look on her face: "Hey, where are you hurt? Seeing you come here in the middle of the day, you must be seriously injured, right?"
This statement directly aroused the anger of the crowd, and several voices came out at the same time: "Shut up."
In an instant, the yard was silent.
