Chapter 428: Whereabouts Unknown
After Li Yu Ran accepted her elder brother's instructions, she turned around and went back to her room. However, she was already awake and lay on the bed with her eyes closed for a long time before falling asleep again.
The next day, the vendors drank too much and failed to get up early.
It was almost noon when the vendors came out of the room. After realizing that they had delayed the event, they couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"It's okay. You've worked hard these days. It's good to relax." Qin Xiangnuan said to them with a smile.
The vendors smiled apologetically, but when they met the gaze of the eldest brother of the Li family, their smiles froze on their faces.
The eldest brother of the Li family withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened. After he returned to his room last night, he couldn't help but think about what they said. For some reason, he always felt very depressed because he hadn't explained it clearly to them.
After seeing them, I didn't know how to start. If I took the initiative to mention it, it might cause more misunderstanding.
As a result, the eldest brother of the Li family had a dark look on his face just now.
The vendors were still a little confused after sobering up, and were puzzled for a moment, not paying too much attention to the expression of the eldest brother of the Li family.
"Third Miss, do we still want to stay here?"
They had already found satisfaction here, and they had spent a few more days here than in other places, so they asked about Qin Xiangnuan's plans.
Qin Xiangnuan originally wanted to tell them a year before leaving, but since they asked, there was nothing to hide.
"We won't go any further after we leave here." Qin Xiangnuan looked up at them, "We're going back to the border."
The vendors seemed not to understand what Qin Xiangnuan said. After she finished speaking, they were silent and blinked at her.
Li Yuran glanced at Qin Xiangnuan. It seemed that the other party was planning to say such an ending without explaining the reason.
"Nuannuan, is there something important?" Li Yuran asked on behalf of the vendors.
Qin Xiangnuan pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said softly: "There is something urgent that I have to go back. If I let you go alone, I am worried about your safety."
Li Yuran nodded. "You're right. It just so happens that we have a good harvest this time. We can come out again if we have the chance."
Only then did the vendors sort out what they had said one by one, and naturally weighed the pros and cons in their minds. They had learned a lot and made money this time, and now they would not be laughed at by others when they returned home.
"Since the Third Miss has something important to do at home, let's go home. We've been away from home for so long, and I really miss it."
After saying this, they all mentioned that they would go to the street to buy some things before going home to entertain their families.
"We'll go check out the streets in the afternoon."
They actually bought some small items along the way, but what they bought after going out today was probably more than what they had accumulated along the way.
Qin Xiangnuan planned to leave after a few days, but the vendors were understanding and said that one or two days wouldn't make a difference, as family matters were more important. So they set out on their return journey the next day.
Since they had already passed this place on the way here, the journey was much smoother. However, when passing by the place where they were in danger, Qin Xiangnuan chose to bypass it, and the vendors were obviously relieved.
They set up a tent outside to rest that night. The rest of the people went into the tent to rest, and the eldest brother of the Li family was guarding by the fire.
As a result, the eldest brother of the Li family saw Li Yu Ran coming out late at night again.
"Little sister, you don't have sleepwalking, do you? It hasn't been discovered before." The eldest brother of the Li family frowned and walked to Li Yuran.
Li Yuran blinked her confused eyes, then glared at her elder brother, "If I had sleepwalking, would you still dare to talk to me? Aren't you afraid that I won't wake up?"
The eldest brother of the Li family smiled and said that sleepwalking was just a joke, but the fact that Li Yuran always came out late at night still concerned her.
"Have you forgotten what I told you that day?" The eldest brother of the Li family tapped her forehead.
He was really ruthless. Li Yuran reached out and rubbed the area that was hit. "I came out because I knew you were outside."
The eldest brother of the Li family raised his eyebrows and said to Li Yuran, "Then you are quite smart. It's good that you know how to protect yourself."
"So are you out here to keep me company?" Seeing how lightly she was dressed, the eldest brother of the Li family stopped standing there stupidly and took her with him to stand by the fire.
"No." Li Yuran said coldly.
The eldest brother of the Li family smiled dotingly, thinking that his younger sister was just shy.
It turned out that Li Yu Ran was not looking for him.
"When I woke up, I found Nuannuan was not there, so I came out to look for her." Li Yuran said.
The eldest brother of the Li family was startled when he heard this. He raised his eyelids and turned to stare at Li Yuran, "Impossible, besides you, I didn't see anyone else leave the tent tonight."
Li Yu Ran also slowly raised his head and looked at the eldest brother of the Li family, seeing that he did not seem to be lying.
But Li Yuran did not lie, Qin Xiangnuan was really not in the tent.
"Come on, take me to see." The eldest brother of the Li family realized that Qin Xiangnuan was really missing, so he ignored the fact that he could not enter a woman's "boudoir" and stood beside Qin Xiangnuan's bed with Li Yuran.
"Brother, have you seen anything?" Li Yuran asked the eldest brother of the Li family who was staring at that place.
Her eldest brother just shook his head and said, "No."
Li Yuran was a little anxious, "Then how did Nuannuan disappear?"
"She must have left on her own." The bed was perfectly tidy, with no signs of struggle. But, "She left on her own, so why didn't I see her?"
"Nuannuan must be hiding something from us, and this matter must be very dangerous." Li Yuran confirmed.
The eldest brother of the Li family also agreed with her, but what was the use of knowing it? They just couldn't find Qin Xiangnuan at this moment.
"Brother, let's split up and look for it!" Li Yu Ran said as he was about to move.
The eldest brother of the Li family quickly stopped her and said, "Where are you going to find someone in the middle of the night? What if you are in danger?"
"But..." Li Yuran couldn't help but worry.
The eldest brother of the Li family analyzed calmly, "Since Miss Qin left on her own, she will definitely come back on her own. We just need to wait for her."
"Nuannuan may also be in danger?" Li Yuran sighed.
"Miss Qin is capable of protecting herself." The eldest brother of the Li family firmly believed.
These words could not really put the Li brothers and sisters' minds at ease, they were just comforting each other.
But what the eldest brother of the Li family said was true. They didn't know Qin Xiangnuan's whereabouts, and it would be easy to encounter danger if they went out. They could only wait in the tent with a nervous heart.
I never thought that this wait would last an entire night.
The flames at the campfire had long since gone out, and the cold air attacked the brother and sister. Despite this, they still stood firm here.
"Brother, we can't just sit and wait." The sunlight had already illuminated the area, and Li Yu Ran said against the white background.
