The big black horse and the big white horse were equally angry. They stood at the entrance of the village, with their heads down, breathing out hot air, paddling their hooves, and neighing from time to time.
The two boys treat them very well on weekdays and brush their fur almost every day.
If they can’t find the two boys, who will they ask for work in the future?
Soon, everyone set off.
Blocking the intersection was relatively simple, but searching the mountain was a large-scale operation, and the nearby Liujia Village and Zhangjia Village soon received the news.
When they heard that the boy from the Tai family was missing and might have been captured by criminals, everyone became anxious.
It is not easy for a small farming family to have enough food to eat and then save money to marry a wife and have children and grandchildren to carry on the family line!
Now the two half-grown boys were about to start their own families and support the family, but they were lost. Isn’t this a threat to the family’s life?
What’s more, he is from the Tai family!
This year, the Tai family has helped everyone a lot. It can be said that the good life we have today is all thanks to the Tai family!
Look for it, you must look for it! You must find it even if you have to dig your head in the dirt!
Everyone was excited. Almost only one person was left at home to guard the door, and the rest of the younger women followed out.
In an instant, the Tai family had more than a hundred helpers.
From Taijia to the mountains and hills near the county town, a careful search was carried out like a net.
The old man left some men from the Wu family in the city to help search for the two boys, in case they were hiding in the city. Then he rushed outside the city and heard that people had been sent to intercept them at every intersection, so he felt a little relieved.
What surprised him even more was that Zhimaqiu had already discovered the clue and started running wildly into the mountains along a small hillside...
Besides, Yonglu and Yongyue were thinking about going to the city to play, and were afraid that their father would not take them with him, so after leaving the village, they ran quickly towards the township.
When He Shan and others saw them, they shouted to them, asking them to be careful and wait for their families to leave together.
They responded nonchalantly, and immediately the family carriage came out.
They never expected that after they ran three or four miles and were about to see Liujia Village, they would see an old man lying on the side of the road.
The two brothers were both kind-hearted, literate and well-mannered. They were used to respecting and taking care of their grandfather at home, so they hurried over to support him.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Did you fall and hurt your leg?" Tai Yonglu was quick and nimble and helped the old man up.
Tai Yongyue helped brush off the remaining snow on the old man's body. Seeing that he didn't seem to be injured anywhere, he felt relieved.
The old man must have been freezing, and after a while he said, "Oh my! My old bones have suffered so much! I came out thinking I'd find some old friends to drink some tea and chat, but I didn't expect to fall down right after I got here. I'm really causing you trouble!"
Tai Yonglu quickly responded, "It's okay, grandpa, we're just helping you. Wherever you live, or wherever you want to go, we'll take you there!"
"Oh, that's great!" The old man pointed to Liujia Village ahead and said with a smile, "My daughter's home is right there. Can you take me to the village entrance?"
"Liujia Village?" Tai Yonglu asked casually, "We often see people from this village, but why haven't we seen you before, Grandpa? Are you from another place?"
The old man's face froze for a moment, then he continued with a smile, "You're quite clever, you guessed it right. My daughter is getting married here, and I'm just here to visit. I'll be leaving in a few days."
As he was speaking, he seemed to have some difficulty walking, twisted his ankle, and started to cry out in pain again.
Tai Yongyue was anxious to get into the city, so he said, "Grandpa, let me carry you."
The old man didn't hesitate and came right up behind him, putting his hands on his shoulders. Tai Yongyue bent down and was about to exert force when a handkerchief was placed over his nose. The pungent smell made him subconsciously shake his head violently, but he still couldn't escape and gradually lost his strength...
Tai Yonglu was bending down to pick up the old man's walking stick when a handful of snow suddenly flew out of the trench in front of him. He raised his hand to block it, but someone came out from the bushes and chopped him on the back of the neck with a knife.
So, Tai Yonglu didn't even have time to shout out before he rolled his eyes and went to accompany his brothers!
The old man raised his hand and pushed Yonglu towards the big man who had emerged, cursing softly, "Hurry up and carry these two away. I don't know what they feed at home. These brats are so heavy that they weigh me down!"
If Yonglu were awake, he would definitely praise Second Aunt's cooking skills.
Unfortunately, now he is the fish and others are the knife!
There were not many big men around, so they carried the two boys into the woods. The old man then covered up his tracks to ensure that ordinary people could not see them, and then followed them!
It was unknown how long it had been, but Tai Yonglu was shivering from the cold. When he woke up, he was lying in a pile of rotten grass, with Tai Yongyue who was still in a coma next to him.
He looked around quickly. It was a dilapidated wooden house. Snow particles were blowing in from the broken windows, and there was a faint sound of wind blowing through the treetops. This must be deep in the mountains, because there were some red pine needles on the broken windowsill.
This thing does not exist at all in the outer mountains. If it does exist, it will be killed by greedy and naughty boys. There are only a few in the deep mountains, and they feed countless squirrels.
"Where is this place?" After a while, Tai Yongyue also woke up.
Tai Yonglu wanted to cover his brother's mouth, but his hands and feet were tied tightly.
He could only lower his voice and scold, "You are stupid, we have been tricked by the bad guys. Don't talk, or we might be heard."
Tai Yongyue's legs were numb from the cold, and he couldn't help but retort despite feeling so uncomfortable, "You didn't let me talk, but you said a lot."
Tai Yonglu glared, "It's already this time, and you're still competing with me. I'm afraid we're both screwed this time. That old man is not a good person. We were trying to help him, but he actually cheated us! Think of a way to escape quickly, otherwise my family will be worried sick."
Tai Yongyue thought of his mother being timid. If she knew that he was in trouble, she would probably faint. He also looked miserable.
He struggled desperately with the rope on his hands, but his wrists were rubbed red and the rope didn't loosen at all.
The same thing happened to Tai Yonglu. While he was still searching for handy tools, there was movement outside the wooden house.
The two brothers closed their eyes tacitly and pretended to be still unconscious.
The old man and the big man who had tied them up earlier came in from outside and stomped off the snow. The old man couldn't help cursing, "This damn place is freezing to death. Let's finish this job quickly and go back to the south."
The big man nodded, squatted down, tossed the dead branches, and lit a bonfire.
The room soon grew warmer, and the large man asked, "When are we leaving? These two boys' families have some influence nearby, and they're known for being spoiled children. If they bring people after them, it might be difficult for us to leave."
The old man was also a little worried and couldn't help complaining, "The employer wants us alive, which is really troublesome. Otherwise, if we kill him with a knife and take his head back, no one will be able to catch up with us."
