"Why are you here? And why are there so many of you? Did something happen at home?"
Li Ergou and Lao Liu were sitting on the lawn at the foot of the mountain. When they saw Xiao Yunfei, they immediately stood up and asked.
"Nothing happened at home. We're just worried something might happen to the six of you. You haven't told me where the four of them went yet?"
"Oh, we're fine too. My eldest brother and the other four haven't come down the mountain yet. They were walking too fast and we couldn't keep up, so we came down first. Mainly because we were too tired and didn't want to go any further."
Meng Xiangyu and the other three are still on the mountain and haven’t come down yet?
Xiao Yunfei's heart had just been relieved, but when he heard these words, his heart was instantly in suspense again. He frowned and asked.
"Aren't you guys here for a stroll? Why are you walking so far? It's almost dark now. Do you know how dangerous it is in the mountains?"
He looked a little serious.
His tone wasn't as kind as usual.
Seeing that they were really anxious, Li Ergou and Lao Liu also became serious.
Lao Liu said, "I know. We didn't intend to go far. We just wanted to stroll around the foot of the mountain and then go home for dinner. But we ended up walking a long way without realizing it. It wasn't intentional."
Li Ergou continued to comfort Lao Liu.
"Don't worry too much. With people from your village leading the way, my brother and the others will definitely be fine."
Seeing that Xiao Yunfei and the others had come here in large numbers because of them, he paused and spoke a little embarrassedly.
"We are the ones who have caused trouble for everyone this time. We will be more careful next time."
Xiao Yunfei interrupted him.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. You just said that someone from our village would lead the way. What's going on?"
"Not long after we left the house, we met a young woman. She was very welcoming and offered to take us for a walk in the mountains. She also said it would be safe with her leading the way, so we could rest assured."
Even now, Lao Liu still looked grateful when he mentioned his young wife.
Li Ergou came to his senses a little and felt that his elder brother and the others had stayed in the mountains for a little too long. He asked with some concern.
"With people from your village taking care of them, my brother and the others shouldn't be in any danger, right? Don't people from your village go up the mountain every day? I haven't seen anyone mention any danger on the mountain in all this time. Besides, if the girls can go up the mountain without any problem, then these four grown men should be even safer. And since they have people from your village taking care of them, they should be even safer. Am I right?"
Xiao Yunfei didn't listen to Li Ergou's chatter, but asked directly.
"What little wife? Whose is it? Do you know her name?"
Lao Liu thought for a moment and said.
"She didn't tell us her name, but she asked us to call her Little Flower Sister."
"Xiaohua?"
Xiao Yunfei subconsciously asked the question.
At the same time, the shadow of a person flashed through his mind.
"Could that young wife be Yang Xiaohua?" Hu Dazhuang asked in surprise.
"Besides Yang Xiaohua, is there any other young wife in this village whose name contains the character 'Hua'?"
Xiao Yunfei had a hint of anticipation in his heart when he asked.
He glanced at everyone and saw Wu Feng and the others frowning and shaking their heads.
So that person is most likely Yang Xiaohua.
Yang Xiaohua has a grudge against his family, and this is something everyone in the village knows.
Would that woman be so kind as to help Meng Xiangyu and the others since she knew that they were guests in her house?
This is very strange no matter how you think about it.
For a moment, everyone's faces looked ugly.
Li Ergou asked in confusion when he saw Xiao Yunfei and the others' reactions.
"What happened to Yang Xiaohua? Why do you react like this when you mention her? Do you have a grudge against her?"
This is a long story, Xiao Yunfei doesn’t have time to answer him, so he just keeps it simple.
"Yes, and it's the kind of hatred that makes you want to fight to the death."
When Li Ergou and Lao Liu heard this, they were stunned.
Yang Xiaohua and Xiao Yunfei have a grudge, so Yang Xiaohua's initiative to help them is probably out of bad intentions.
There are dangers everywhere in the deep mountains and forests. What if something happens to my brother and the others?
Xiao Yunfei made the decision directly and told Wu Feng and the others.
"Let's go up the mountain and look for it now. Don't wait any longer."
Wu Feng and the others knew what Xiao Yunfei was worried about and agreed immediately.
Xiao Yunfei looked at Li Ergou and Lao Liu and asked.
"Where did you come from to climb the mountain? Which direction did you go after entering the mountain? Do you still remember these?"
Li Ergou quickly pointed to a place not far away and said.
"We should have gone up the mountain from there. After we entered the mountain, the woman led us up first. The road became increasingly difficult to walk on. Many trees were fallen, so we had to go around. The woman said she would take us on a relatively easy road, but she led us around in many twists and turns until we lost track of the direction."
Lao Liu also said with a serious expression, "It was mainly because that woman was walking too fast. We used all our energy to chase her and had no time to remember the way. But my second brother and I came down the mountain from that side just now. It's at least three or four hundred meters away from here."
Lao Liu pointed down the mountain and suddenly remembered something and continued.
"By the way, we've been waiting at the foot of the mountain for quite some time. When we saw people coming down the mountain, we asked them if they had seen my brother and the others, but they all said no."
Xiao Yunfei glanced in the direction Lao Liu pointed, and combined with what he heard, he couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Xiaohua obviously took them around in circles on the mountain on purpose, possibly to make them lose their bearings and to lead them to a place with fewer people.
"Let's split into two groups. Brother Feng, you take Xiaowei and the fourth brother and search up the mountain from where they just came down. Xiaogang, you and the others will follow me up the mountain from where they came up."
