"Grandpa, why are you still being partial? After all, you raised me under your care."
Grandpa Su snorted, "It's because he grew up next to me that he's so annoying. Haven't you heard that things smell better when they're far away than when they're close? That's exactly what it means."
The annoying Su Qingcheng: "...Okay, okay, whatever you say is right."
Grandpa Su listened to his perfunctory words and looked over sharply, "Why? Are you unhappy?"
Su Qingcheng smiled and said, "With pleasure, with pleasure."
Su Mianmian found the conversation between the grandfather and grandson interesting and chuckled for a while, then patted Su Qingcheng's arm to comfort him.
"It's okay, big brother. Grandpa doesn't favor you. Qingqing and I favor you. You can live in peace. Let Ayuan and Huaichuan do the dirty work. You will definitely gain a few pounds when you go back for the New Year."
Su Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, "That's more like it."
"Speaking of which, brother, aren't you busy with work?"
"I'm busy. I'm going to the county tomorrow. I'll be working here until the New Year."
Grandpa Su nodded and said, "Yes, it's true. Xiao Cheng said he would work here for a while, so your grandma and I thought of coming here to celebrate the New Year with you guys. Firstly, it's fun, and secondly, we want to meet Jiubao."
Su Mianmian was a little worried after hearing this, "Grandpa, how is grandma?"
Grandpa Su gave her a reassuring smile, "Now that your family is back, your grandma's worries are gone, and her health will naturally improve. Don't worry."
Su Mianmian chuckled when she heard this, "You and grandma have been staying here since you came, so you can help me take care of the child."
Grandpa Su joked, "Okay! You have to pay us two old men our wages."
Su Mianmian waved her hand, "I'll pay! I'll definitely pay! Not only will I pay your wages, but I'll also give you and grandma good meals every day. It won't be a problem for you to gain a few pounds when you return to Beijing."
Grandpa Su was amused, "Hahaha, then I'll be waiting!"

The other side
Shen Yuandao and his group sat on the rocks to rest.
Junwazi looked worried and said, "Brother Chen, we've been looking for two hours and there's still no sign of him."
Eryuan was drinking water. He tightened the lid of the kettle and looked at him. "Even if we can't find him, we have to look for him. You said Comrade Cheng has been missing for four or five days. He has nothing to eat or drink in this mountain. It will be troublesome if we can't find him."
Shen Yuandao nodded, "Yes, we have to find him as soon as possible, otherwise Comrade Cheng's life will be in danger.
Putting aside the question of whether there was food, if she encountered an animal like a wolf or a tiger in the mountains, she, a weak woman, would definitely die.”
"That's right. By the way, Dongzi, is there any cave on your mountain where we can stay?" Qin Huaichuan looked at Dongzi who was listening to them silently.
Dongzi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, we have been to the outer areas just now, and there are four or five more places closer to the inside that I know of.
I don’t know if it’s available elsewhere.”
Shen Yuan said: "Then let's take a break and then go to the places you mentioned."
Dongzi: "Okay."
"Would you like some water?" Eryuan handed his water bottle towards him.
Dongzi shook his head, "No need, Public Security Comrade, I'll bring my own water."
As he said this, he patted the kettle on his back.
Binary nodded upon seeing this.
After the five people had rested, Dongzi led the way in front and the others followed him deeper into the cave.
Dongzi quickly led a few people to find the first cave. The cave was quiet. After a careful search, they found no signs of life anywhere.
The five of them had no choice but to continue following Dongzi to the next cave. When they were halfway there, Junwazi suddenly stopped and said, "Look, there's blood here."
He pointed to a lump of earth on the ground.
The faces of several people changed, and they immediately squatted down and looked in the direction that Junwazi pointed.
Shen Yuandao reached out and pinched the bloody lump of earth and looked at it carefully.
Qin Huaichuan took a look and looked around in this direction. He found a small piece of black cloth in the grass on the left. He handed the thing to Shen Yuandao.
"Ayuan, look at this."
Shen Yuandao took the cloth, looked at it carefully, and touched it.
"There's blood on it too. Where did you find it?" It's just black and the bloodstains are not obvious.
Qin Huaichuan pointed in the direction of the small grass.
A few people walked over, and Shen Yuandao glanced in the direction of the clod of earth, then glanced at the small grass.
"Huaichuan, Eryuan, and Dongzi, the three of you search around this bush to see if there's any blood."
After saying that, he took the soldier to the place where the bloodstains were first found and started looking for it.
“Brother Chen, look, there’s a small slope here, and the grass here is all flattened.”
The soldier suddenly spoke.
Shen Yuandao walked over and took a look, "Something rolled down from here, let's go down and take a look."
As they were talking, the two of them walked carefully to the bottom of the slope and found a fallen tree at the bottom of the slope. A strand of hair was hanging on the branch, and there was a small amount of blood on the tip of the small branch.
Shen Yuandao frowned slightly, "Junwazi, go up and call the three of them over."
After a while, Qin Huaichuan and others came over.
"Ayuan, what did you find?"
Shen Yuandao said nothing, pointing to the hair and bloodstains on the tree branch.
Qin Huaichuan took a look and concluded, "Hair this long can only belong to a lesbian. And there's blood."
Er Yuan: "Do you think this could be Comrade Cheng? Has she been here before?"
Shen Yuandao nodded, “It’s very likely.”
He looked at Dongzi and asked, "Dongzi, is there a cave nearby?"
Dongzi shook his head. "It seems there isn't one around here. I've never been here."
Junwazi: "Then what should we do?"
Qin Huaichuan: "How about we follow this road first? If we can't find it, we can go back the same way and let Dongzi take us to the caves he is familiar with."
"Okay, let's do it." Shen Yuandao also had the same idea.
They acted immediately and followed the traces to find the whereabouts.
However, when they reached the end of the road, there were four forks in the road.
At this time, the five of them were in trouble again. Qin Huaichuan looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Ayuan, how do we get out?"
Eryuan suggested, "How about we split up and look for them?"
Shen Yuandao shook his head, "This won't work. It's getting dark, and it will be dangerous if we separate and encounter wild wolves and wild boars."
"What should we do? Why don't we act together?" Qin Huaichuan asked.
Qin Huaichuan asked again: "Which way should we go?"
Shen Yuandao glanced at Dongzi, "Dongzi, are you familiar with this place?"
Dongzi shook his head and said, "I haven't been here."
Shen Yuandao nodded, walked forward and looked at all four roads, then pointed to the road on the left, "Look at this road, there are bloodstains here. How about taking this road and try your luck?"
"become!"
Anyway, they don’t know how to choose.

Yun Family
Little Ayan was led back home by Su Qingqing and Liu Xu. After washing his hands, he went straight into the house.
"Grandpa and grandma, why are you here?"
A Yan was very surprised to see the three people in the room.
Su Qingcheng picked him up and said, "Just because grandpa and grandma can't see me?"
