Chapter 183 Panic (Additional chapter for Yunqi's 150,000 recommended votes)
The three brothers quickly put out the fire, picked up the bamboo rat and ran back. When they ran back to the big tree, they saw that it was empty and there was no one there.
The three Zhou brothers looked at each other and shuddered at the same time. They were in the mountains!
Zhou Silang's face turned pale as he stuffed the bamboo rat into Zhou Liulang's hands and said, "Run home immediately. If you meet Manbao on the way, bring her back. If you don't meet her, go home and call my brother and the others to look for her."
Zhou Silang and Zhou Wulang said, "Let's split up and look for her. She has short legs and can't run fast. Once we find her, bring her back here."
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang both agreed and ran away.
Zhou Silang first looked around and saw the extinguished fire in the bamboo bushes. His eyes widened immediately because there was no such thing here before.
So someone has been here?
That treasure...
Zhou Silang's legs went weak and the first thing he thought of was to beat Huazi.
He was startled and didn't bother to look for someone in the mountains. He ran down the mountain, trying to find someone along the main road.
Zhou Silang kept calling Manbao while searching along the mountain path, while Zhou Wulang had already started roaring in the mountains.
He searched for a long time but didn't see anyone. He was anxious and angry. He simply stood still, and after taking deep breath, he roared to the sky: "Manbao——"
Tired from walking, Manbao was squatting on the ground feeling sad. He faintly heard the call and immediately jumped up from the ground. After listening for a while, he asked, "Koko, do you hear someone calling me?"
After a moment of silence, Koko said, "Yes, it's just west of the host."
Manbao just turned around in circles and asked, "Where is the West?"
Koko pointed her in a direction.
Manbao ran over there, and the bamboo rat tied with a rope could only roll on the ground and be dragged forward.
Manbao ran for a while, and when he was too tired to walk anymore, he looked up to the sky and shouted, "I'm here——"
"Manbao——"
"I'm here—"
When Zhou Wulang jumped over following the sound, Manbao's body and face were already covered with mud. She had no choice but to dig a lot of mud for Koko. When she looked up and found that her brothers were gone, she didn't even bother to wipe her hands clean. As a result, some mud was smeared on her face and clothes.
This look looked extremely pitiful in Zhou Wulang's eyes.
Zhou Wulang ran up to her and hugged her, crying and laughing, "Where have you been? We've been looking for you for so long."
Manbao burst into tears and said angrily, "I was always under the tree. You disappeared."
Zhou Wulang felt a little guilty. At that time, a bamboo rat was running through the bamboo bushes. All they could see in their minds and eyes was the bamboo rat. They subconsciously chased after it. How could they remember their sister who was playing in the mud under the tree?
Zhou Wulang quickly apologized, hugged her and said, "It's all our fault. Don't cry anymore. You can beat us up later."
Manbao sobbed and handed him the bamboo rat tied in his hand, and asked, "Where are the fourth and sixth brothers?"
Zhou Wulang was a little surprised to see the bamboo rat, "Where are you from?"
Hearing her question again, he shuddered and said with wide eyes, "It's over. Lao Liu will definitely tell Mom and Dad when he gets home."
Zhou Wulang didn't bother to ask in detail. He just squatted down, put Manbao on his back, and ran down the mountain with the bamboo rat in his hand, calling "Fourth Brother" as he ran.
Unfortunately, when he ran back to the big tree, they didn't hear any response from Zhou Silang.
Zhou Wulang felt that he could not just sit there and wait for death, so he paced around anxiously. After a while, he said, "Let's leave a letter for Fourth Brother and then go home first."
He rummaged through the bamboo bushes, found a half-burned stick, and found a broad leaf to write on.
Manbao looked at them with his mouth wide open. Oh, right, why was she so stupid? She could have left a letter for them earlier. She could write, and the Zhou brothers were also literate.
Manbao wiped away his tears and blamed himself, "Koko, I am so stupid."
Koko remained silent.
Zhou Wulang was anxious and had already written the letter with sweat on his forehead. He pressed the big leaf under the tree. Afraid that his fourth brother couldn't see it, he also piled a few stones next to it.
After doing all this, he carried Manbao on his back and ran home.
We must stop Lao Liu before he returns home, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Zhou Wulang spread his legs and ran as fast as he could.
At the same time, Zhou Liulang was also running home very fast, but he still remembered what his fourth brother said and wanted to see if there were any treasures on both sides of the road.
So he ran all the way while calling Manbao's name. Occasionally, when he saw a place with lush flowers and plants, he would stop and look for it, for fear of missing Manbao.
This pause wasted a lot of time, and Zhou Wulang actually caught up with them.
Zhou Liulang ran out of breath, his throat was smoking, and he had no strength to speak. From a distance, Manbao saw Zhou Liulang running forward on his back and immediately shouted: "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother——"
Zhou Liulang was running forward with his head down. When he heard the sound, he stopped and turned around subconsciously. He saw Manbao lying behind his fifth brother and waving at him.
Zhou Liulang's eyes lit up, he turned around and ran back. When the three brothers and sisters finally met up, Zhou Liulang suddenly sat down on the ground, gasping for breath and unable to speak at all.
Zhou Liulang quickly supported him and checked if Manbao was injured. He asked anxiously, "Where did you go? We thought you were lost. I was so scared."
While Manbao was helping Zhou Wulang calm down, he took out a mint candy and gave it to him.
Zhou Wulang's mouth was dry, and after he put some sugar in his mouth, his saliva secretion increased, and he felt a little better. He waved his hand and said, "We found it in the mountains. She came to find us."
Both brothers felt like they had survived a disaster and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
Zhou Liulang was also running very fast, his face a little pale. He stretched out his hand to Manbao and said, "I want some candy too."
Manbao felt a little guilty, thinking that it was all because he was not smart enough and couldn't think of leaving a letter, which made everyone so anxious.
So whatever her brothers said was what she did, and she quickly took out another piece of candy from her pocket and gave it to him.
Holding the candy in their mouths, the brothers' complexions gradually improved. Zhou Wulang finally caught his breath and finally had time to complain to Zhou Liulang, "You ran too fast. Didn't I tell you to look both ways? What if Manbao was on either side of the road?"
"I've seen it all. The mountains are so dangerous. If I don't run away quickly and tell my family, what if Manbao is really taken away by a wolf?"
The two brothers sat and sighed. Zhou Liulang asked, "Where's the fourth brother?"
Zhou Wulang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I'm still looking for him in the mountains. I didn't find him, but I left him a letter."
He said, "I'm afraid you'll go back and tell Mom and Dad. Then we'll definitely be beaten."
Zhou Liulang was also very glad that they were now at the entrance of the village. Wasn’t it just a little bit away?
Zhou Liulang then realized that his fifth brother was holding a rope with a fat bamboo rat tied to it. His eyes widened and he asked, "Where did this bamboo rat come from?"
Zhou Wulang looked at Manbao and asked, "Yes, where did this bamboo rat come from?"
