Chapter 96 Go up the mountain and save people
Baoya was confused by her nonsensical words: "Uncle Yang? What's wrong with Uncle Yang?"
Wu Dongmei wiped her tears, forced herself to calm down, and said, "It's like this. Just before noon, when the sky was getting dark, Liu Lizheng came to our house and said that your uncle Yang was a hunter and had been going into the mountains for years and was an experienced hunter. He wanted to ask your uncle Yang to go into the mountains with him and find those troublesome people before the rain came!"
"I figured the rain wouldn't just start, and Li Zheng Liu is so old, it wouldn't be a good idea to let him go into the mountains alone, so I asked your Uncle Yang to go. But as it turns out, they haven't returned yet, even now!"
"Aunt Wu, don't worry, let's find a solution together." Baoya squatted on the ground and stretched out her little hand to pat Wu Dongmei's back.
"Let's sit on the bench and talk." She said, and was about to help Wu Dongmei up.
Zhao Zhilan and her three daughters-in-law also came out of the east room at this time.
Seeing this, he quickly walked over, helped Wu Dongmei up, and let her sit down next to the low table.
"Aunt Zhao..." Wu Dongmei's eyes were red.
Zhao Zhilan reached out and patted the back of her hand, sighing, "Ah..."
Of course, she heard what was said just now, and naturally knew why Wu Dongmei came to her house at this time.
But the rain outside was coming fast and heavily, and it would be very dangerous to go up the mountain to look for people at this time.
Seeing her hesitation and silence, Wu Dongmei's eyes turned red again and tears flowed down her face.
"I know no one wants to go up the mountain at a time like this. But... I have no choice!"
Her shoulders trembled as she cried: "Hu Zi is still so young, I really can't bear to think about it..."
"If I had known it would be like this, when Liu Lizheng came to look for Big Brother Yang, I would have risked my life to be the bad guy and never let Big Brother Yang go!"
"That's not necessary," Zhao Zhilan patted her back. "Liu Lizheng is a good and responsible person. Those who signed the documents are still from Feishui Village. Li Zheng said he would let them fend for themselves, but he can't just leave them alone."
"Don't cry anymore. I think the rain won't stop anytime soon. I'll let my son go with you to look for it..."
Before she could finish her words, Wu Dongmei excitedly shook Zhao Zhilan's hand, which was so brimming with veins: "Thank you so much, Auntie! Thank you so much, Auntie! It's just me and Hu Zi at home, I... I don't know what to do..."
"We're from the same village, so we should help if we can," Zhao Zhilan said. "But first, let me be clear. Even if we go up the mountain to look for him, we can't go too deep, or we might run into trouble."
"I saved it, I saved it!" Wu Dongmei nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of gratitude and hope.
"Mom, why don't I go with Sister Wu?" Yun Sanlang poked his head out from the west room and said, "My eldest and second brothers have been working in the fields and making tofu all morning. I didn't go to town today, so I'm still free."
"You..." Zhao Zhilan glanced at Yun Sanlang and fell into deep thought.
Secretly, she didn't want her three sons to go together, but who should she let go and who shouldn't? She didn't know how to choose.
"What are you talking about, Third Brother? As brothers, how can we let you go alone?"
"That is to say, if we have to go, we should go together. It will be faster to find it."
Yun Dalang and Yun Erlang also poked their heads out from the west room.
The three daughters-in-law standing nearby also had worried expressions on their faces. At this time, no one wanted their husbands to go up the mountain.
Zhao Zhilan was just thinking about what to do when Xiao Baoya, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said, "Grandma, I want to go too."
"What?" Zhao Zhilan was stunned by her sudden cry. "It's raining so hard outside, what are you doing?"
Baoya sat next to her and pointed at her fingers: "I think... I should be able to find them."
"Really...really?!" Wu Dongmei's eyes suddenly lit up, but Zhao Zhilan glanced at her.
"Baoya, what can you look for? It's raining heavily, just let your dad and the others go, and you stay home and play with your brothers and sisters."
Zhao Zhilan said.
Going up the mountain in the rain to look for someone was not a good thing, and she didn't want Baoya, a little baby, to go forward.
"Grandma, it's okay," Baoya looked at her with a firm gaze, "I can really find them. Aunt Wu and I will go to the mountain to find them and come back quickly so that you won't worry."
The little baby in front of her with a calm expression and a cute tone seemed to be Wu Dongmei's light. She tightly grasped the sleeves of her clothes that were dripping with water, and stared at Baoya with expectant eyes.
He Chunxiu was also very worried, but for some reason, Baoya was particularly persistent this time.
In the end, Zhao Zhilan and He Chunxiu were out of options and couldn't stay in the stalemate any longer, so they had to let her three sons take Baoya and go with Wu Dongmei.
It was raining so hard that umbrellas were no longer useful. Zhao Zhilan rummaged through boxes and cupboards, found some oilcloth, and wrapped the heads and foreheads of several people in it.
Baoya was wrapped very tightly, revealing only her small face, the size of a palm.
This was not enough, Zhao Zhilan wrapped her in two layers, and He Chunxiu found another umbrella and insisted that Yun Sanlang take it and hold it for Baoya.
After a while, several people followed Wu Dongmei out.
Zhao Zhilan, along with the three remaining daughters-in-law and three children in the family, stood at the door for a long time.
It was raining heavily outside, and raindrops as big as beans hit the ground. The splashing water fell on my face and it was cold and a little painful.
"Oh..." Zhao Zhilan sighed worriedly.
This was the first time that her three sons had Baoya with them, and she was actually very worried.
On the other side, Baoya was covered tightly, lying on Yun Sanlang's shoulder, with an umbrella held over her head to keep out the rain.
The five people walked on the muddy dirt road and headed straight for Tiger Tooth Mountain.
The Tiger Tooth Mountain, which was sunny and bright in the past, has now become particularly terrifying.
The heavy rain, accompanied by strong winds, made several people stagger and fall here and there. The umbrella that Yun Sanlang held over his head was also blown over by the wind, and it was barely covering Bao Ya's head.
"Brother Yang! Li Zheng Liu!"
"If you heard me, reply! Big Brother Yang!"
Wu Dongmei clutched the oilcloth on her body tightly with both hands and shouted at the top of her lungs.
The three sons of the Yun family also shouted: "Liu Lizheng! Brother Yang! Where are you?"
They walked into the mountains for a while, and Baoya, who had been lying quietly on Yun Sanlang's shoulder, suddenly spoke.
"Dad, don't go in, let's go this way."
Yun Sanlang, whose voice was hoarse from shouting, looked in the direction that Baoya's little hand pointed.
What appeared before him was a small side road covered with gravel, and the forest on the other side seemed to be even denser.
Yun Erlang, who was walking in front, felt the footsteps behind him stop. He quickly turned around to see what happened and saw Yun Sanlang holding Bao Ya and stopped.
"Third brother, what's wrong?" he asked.
Yun Sanlang shook his head: "Second brother, eldest brother, Sister Wu, let's go this way!"
