Chapter 881 Help
Although Yang Heshu and Tang He were in constant correspondence, the letters were not very detailed. When they met this time, he took the opportunity to tell the two children everything that had happened during this period.
It was determined that the most important task at present was to find the evidence left in the mountains and save their lives.
County Magistrate Yang said he would find help for them, and indeed he found a lot of people for them. The next day, a strong man came with twelve people.
Suddenly so many people appeared in the village, and the villagers of Qili Village became nervous.
Mr. Bai could only come forward to explain: "These are temporary workers hired by our family. We have no choice. It's the busy spring season now, and it's difficult to find helpers, so we have to recruit people from outside. I will control them and won't let them wander around the village."
The villagers were still puzzled, "Are the day laborers so strong now?"
"That's right, how can you raise such a strong child and still do odd jobs?"
Old Zhou knew why they came. He smoked his pipe and said, "Why do you care so much? We live in a farm outside the village and rarely come to the village. We just need to do our own thing."
As soon as Old Zhou started talking, everyone finally noticed him and asked, "Uncle Jin, we were just about to ask you, why is your Manbao back? Didn't he say he was studying with a teacher in Yizhou City and learning medicine?"
"Yes, the two young masters of the Bai family are back too. Could it be that Yizhou City is also on farming holiday?"
"How long will you be back this time?"
Old Zhou said calmly, "I won't leave for the time being after I come back this time."
"Not leaving? Why?"
"Why else? The teachers in Yizhou City are not good," Old Zhou said directly and shamelessly, "They are not as good as Mr. Zhuang's teaching. It's expensive to live and eat there. Mr. Zhuang can teach me at home anyway, so I might as well study at home. I will provide food and accommodation at home and won't have to spend a penny."
Everyone thought so and stopped asking.
When the people arrived, Manbao went out early the next morning carrying his small backpack with a small hoe in it.
Old Zhou called her and said, "Don't go alone. Ask your fourth brother to accompany you."
Although Manbao only mentioned that he had offended someone in Yizhou City and could no longer live there, and did not mention who it was, Old Zhoutou still guessed it.
He vaguely knew that this matter could no longer be resolved peacefully, and it was no longer the time for him to let it go.
Even if the Bai family is willing to distance themselves from the matter, the big bad guy in Yizhou City may not believe it, so whether they are willing or not, they have to get involved.
In fact, ever since Zhou Yin met Bai Qi on the road twelve years ago, their family has been inseparable from this matter.
Old Zhou said, "Let your fourth brother lead the way. Although he hasn't been into the mountains for many years, he's still better than you. Don't go to Zhou Hu's place. He has a family with him. Don't drag him down."
Manbao agreed.
Zhou Silang also followed with a backpack on his back as usual. When the brother and sister arrived at Bai's house, Bai Shan was already waiting. Just as the three of them were about to leave, Bai Erlang sneaked out from the side and slipped between Bai Shan and Manbao, whispering, "Hurry up, hurry up..."
Bai Shan and Man Bao then ran with him, asking as they ran, "Did you sneak out?"
Bai Erlang nodded. "You have no idea how horrible my father is. He actually dug out my brother's homework and made me rewrite it all. Then I had to do the homework assigned by the teacher. Oh my God, my brother is so much older than me and has studied for so many more years than me. It's just terrifying."
The three of them ran to the foot of the mountain. Liu Gui and Pan Ling from the county government office were already waiting there. They stepped forward and saluted them.
Liu Gui reported: "Master, we've searched several places lately but haven't found it. Oh, this is the map Zhou Hu drew for us, but this map..."
Zhou Hu couldn't draw a map, so he simply drew circles on a piece of white paper and told them that when he and Zhou Yin were little, they had been here, here, and here too...
Zhou Silang was there when Zhou Hu was talking about this. He pulled over the map, took a look at it, and said, "Let me lead the way for you. I have a rough idea of where these places are. The mountain is so big anyway, you'll have to search for them anyway. It's ok to be rough, but just be careful when searching."
Liu Gui: ...
Manbao thought it made sense. Koko's scanning range was now one thousand meters, which was already very large. She felt that walking all over Dahu Mountain should not be a problem. Anyway, she didn't have to go back to Yizhou City now, so she had plenty of time.
So she waved her hand ambitiously and shouted, "Let's go!"
So a group of people went into the mountains in a mighty procession.
Seeing her directly calling everyone to go into the mountains, Liu Gui hurriedly said, "Miss Man, there are so many people. Should we split up into several teams and search in different directions? This will speed up the process."
Pan Ling also felt that what he said made sense. The main reason was that the two young men and one young woman leading their group did not look very reliable at first glance, so he said, "Mr. Bai, please assign us two guides. We can split into two groups."
Manbao felt that with Koko around, it wouldn't be much use for them to follow him, so he nodded to Bai Shan and whispered in his ear, "Why don't we just let them split into four teams, and then we'll have our own team. With my fourth brother leading us, we won't get lost, and Daji can also protect our safety."
Bai Shan asked, "Just the five of us? Isn't that too few?"
"That's quite a few. Aren't there six or seven people in their team?"
Bai Shan thought the same and divided it according to Manbao's share.
Liu Gui was stunned and asked, "Master, shouldn't I follow you?"
"No need," Bai Shan shook his head and said, "Send four of you, two people each to lead the way. Brother Pan, please also send four people to join their two teams. Don't search the places you've already searched, and search the places you haven't searched before. We'll specifically look for the place where Zhou Hubiao came out."
Manbao said, "Everywhere we search, we'll carve a cross on the tree trunk. If you see that cross, it means we've searched the entire area within a kilometer of that tree."
Liu Gui's eyebrows jumped. "A thousand meters?"
Manbao nodded seriously, "Yes, of course. You don't need to mark your side. You two sides have exchanged people. You both know where you have searched and where you haven't. The directions are different, so there will be no overlap."
Pan Ling felt that it was right to separate, because Miss Man seemed a little abnormal. The area was a thousand meters in radius, and in such a dense forest, how long would it take?
You could at least shrink it a little, say ten meters or twenty meters in radius.
Pan Ling shook his head, but agreed.
So everyone divided into groups, each chose a direction and set off. Seeing that they had all left, Manbao asked Zhou Silang to take out the blueprint and look at it. The four of them put their heads together to discuss.
The next update will be around 9pm
