Chapter 212 Searching
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting shadows beneath them, and said, word by word, "Hongxing will be alright, he will definitely be safe."
She didn't know whether she was saying this to Li Hongxing's mother or to herself; all she knew was that Li Hongxing absolutely could not get into trouble.
If something happens to Li Hongxing, she and her son will have nowhere to go. She just married Li Hongxing and will become a pitiful widow again. What will she do then? Will she have to take her son and go live with Wang Dazhi again?
No, she would never want to live like that.
Even if Li Hongxing gets into trouble, she won't go looking for Wang Dazhi again. At worst, she can just raise her son alone. She's hardworking and can endure hardship, so she can find a job.
But why was she in so much pain? The thought of Li Hongxing getting into trouble made her feel terrible. This pain wasn't because she and her son had no one to rely on, but rather a physical pain.
She couldn't bear to part with Li Hongxing.
Li Hongxing's mother sighed and said, "I hope he's alright too. Why would he go to the mountains? Those mountains are so dangerous."
Zhou Fangfang's brow twitched: "How could that be? Hongxing said there are no large wild animals in the mountains, so it shouldn't be that dangerous, right?"
"Although there are no large wild animals, it's raining heavily now. What if there's a landslide? It's dark now, and if he rolls down the mountain, what should we do?"
At this point, Li Hongxing's mother seemed to realize something was wrong, and she quickly stopped herself: "No, no, no, we can't curse him, he'll be fine."
Zhou Fangfang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
If Li Hongxing is alright, why hasn't he come back yet?
Looking at the sky outside, Zhou Fangfang suddenly made a decision.
She went to find an umbrella and then quietly went out.
There was a mountain here, quite far away, and it was raining, making it difficult to walk, but Zhou Fangfang just kept walking slowly and somehow made it to the top of the mountain.
The rain was so heavy that even with an umbrella, she was soaked to the bone. Rainwater stung her eyes, and she felt like she couldn't see the road ahead clearly. But she kept walking forward.
The ground was very soft; the soil had become limp after being soaked by the rain, and her feet were covered in mud as she stepped into it. But even so, she did not give up.
She called out from inside the mountains, "Red Star, Red Star, where are you?"
The sound echoed hollowly in the mountains, utterly lonely.
In fact, Zhou Fangfang knew that the chances of finding Li Hongxing were slim, but she still wanted to try, just in case she could find him, just in case he was alright.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly heard a voice: "Fangfang?"
The sound of rain was loud, and it kept falling.
At first, Zhou Fangfang thought she had misheard, but later she realized something was wrong; there were people in front of her.
There was a cave not far away, and she saw a figure, so she quickly ran over.
It really was Li Hongxing.
Li Hongxing was completely dry and looked to be in good spirits. He had found a cave and had been sheltering from the rain inside. In contrast, she was soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat.
Zhou Fangfang: "?"
Suddenly, she felt very ashamed.
Li Hongxing clearly hadn't expected her to come here. He started a fire, invited Zhou Fangfang over to warm herself by the fire, and then took off his coat and gave it to her.
He turned his back and then had Zhou Fangfang take off her wet clothes and put them by the fire to dry.
Zhou Fangfang felt extremely embarrassed. After putting on Li Hongxing's clothes, she said, "You haven't come back. I thought something had happened to you."
Li Hongxing said, "The rain is too heavy, so I plan to wait until it stops before going back. It's getting dark now, and I'm planning to go back tomorrow."
He appeared calm: "This has happened before. I always rest in the cave. I have some dry food and water that I have put in the cave in advance, just in case. If I get trapped here again, didn't Mom tell you about this? I have gone back the next day before, so she must know about this."
There's no danger in the mountains, and this isn't his first time in the mountains; he's very familiar with the area, so nothing will happen to him.
Zhou Fangfang thought for a moment, then said, "But Mom said something must have happened to you, she's very worried about you."
Li Hongxing: "...She should have gone to sleep by now."
Zhou Fangfang remembered that after Li Hongxing's mother finished expressing her concern for Li Hongxing, she actually went back to sleep. When she passed by her room, the other woman was clearly asleep instantly, and didn't seem worried at all.
Was she scammed?
Why did Li Hongxing's mother say those things on purpose? Was it because she was worried about her?
Zhou Fangfang: "..."
I feel like I've been set up.
But Li Hongxing's mother really is like that; that's how she always spoke and acted.
well.
She really jumped into a huge pit.
Li Hongxing rubbed his head and said helplessly, "That's just my mom's personality, but she doesn't mean any harm. Don't take it to heart."
Zhou Fangfang said, "It's nothing, she didn't do anything."
Although she didn't do anything, Li Hongxing's mother clearly guided her to worry about Li Hongxing, which is why she rushed to find her.
To be honest, Zhou Fangfang was happy when she saw Li Hongxing. Fortunately, Li Hongxing was alright, so she was no longer a widow, and she and Li Hongxing could still be together.
They'll be together forever; they have a long time ahead of them.
Having lived for so long, she finally found a man who treated her well. She genuinely didn't want anything to happen to him and hoped that she and Li Hongxing could be together for a long time. So, without considering the consequences, she came directly to him.
Now, she is actually very happy.
Li Hongxing looked at her, gently took her hand, and said, "I'm glad you came to see me, but don't do this kind of thing again. Although there are no dangerous wild animals in these mountains, there are snakes. You're not familiar with this place, so don't do anything reckless."
He was actually very moved. He was stunned when he saw Zhou Fangfang. He had lived for so long, and there was actually a woman who risked her life to find him. This had a great impact on him. He already had some feelings for Zhou Fangfang, and now he felt that since this was God's arrangement, he must not let go.
Now that Wang Dazhi has brought the person to him, he will live a good life with Zhou Fangfang from now on.
The two slept in the cave overnight, and the next morning, after the weather cleared up, they went home from the cave.
Li Hongxing led Zhou Fangfang back home.
