"Go away, in these two villages, who can bully me? I won't tolerate it even with my fist. I took the initiative to abdicate. I am old now, and it is not bad for me to be the clan leader. As for the village chief, I have to give way to him. Sang Jin is a very good person." Zhou Fugui quickly said that this was a misunderstanding.
"Your village still has so many people, and it's clean. Unlike our village, when the plague hit, we were lucky to run away quickly, but even if we ran faster, half the people would have died," Zhou Dahe asked. Zhou Da Village had a doctor, Dr. Zhou. But in this disaster year, without enough medicinal herbs, he couldn't save the people. So, as soon as the signs turned bad, they had to abandon the infected and flee with the healthy.
"Village Chief Zhou, I'm sorry to ask you a question. Have you seen my youngest daughter, Sang Shui, on the road? She is twenty years old this year. She married into your Zhou Da Village a few years ago." Sang Jin didn't care that Zhou Dahe had just ignored him. He just wanted to find out the whereabouts of his daughter.
"Sang Shui... I remember her. She was very distinctive in appearance. Unfortunately, she contracted the plague, and her husband stayed behind to take care of her. They also had a two-year-old son." Because she was good-looking, Zhou Dahe quickly found information about Sang Shui in his mind.
"You didn't save her!" Sang Jin grabbed Zhou Dahe's collar and said fiercely. His daughter's life or death was unknown.
"We don't have medicine, and we can't protect ourselves either." Zhou Dahe was startled by his sudden action. He had forgotten that he was still a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
When he came to his senses, he used his spiritual energy to break free from Sang Jin's hand.
"Old Sang, calm down. This is not a situation we want to see." Zhou Fugui persuaded.
"I'm sorry, that's my daughter. I was too excited just now. I just want to ask where was the last place you saw her?" Sang Jin remained polite on the surface.
I apologized to Zhou Dahe. He didn't have any medicine, so he couldn't save her even if he wanted to. Zhou Dahe had no relationship with his daughter, so he had no obligation to save her.
Zhou Dahe described to Sang Jin the final location of the Sangshui. According to the timeline, it should be near the small lake where their entire village had been rehabilitated after the plague. There was a water source there. The Sangshui must have gone there.
After Sang Jin learned the news about his daughter, he immediately found Sang Jin, and Sang Huo told Old Lady Zhuang about it.
He knew he didn't have the ability to look for his daughter, but he still wanted to let his granddaughter try. She was familiar with the boy from the Li family, so he could ask Master Lu to take her there.
Although he knew it was not right to let his five-year-old granddaughter take such a risk, he had no other choice. This was the only hope he could think of to save his daughter.
"I don't agree with this!" Sang Huo was the first to stand up and object.
Although he knew that his niece's abilities were extraordinary, such people were often the most dangerous.
She is still in her infancy. What if she meets someone with higher cultivation than them and captures him along the way?
Mrs. Zhuang remained silent. She was in a dilemma. On one side was her daughter, and on the other was her granddaughter. Although she usually disliked girls.
Her daughter was angry with her and refused to accept the betrothal gift. She did not give her daughter any dowry at the time, so she was hastily married off.
This had always been a knot in Mrs. Zhuang's heart. She didn't know how to choose. They were all her closest family members.
"Oh my god!" Sang Jin looked at her troubled grandfather and grandmother. They must still be thinking about her aunt.
"Little Sang Jin, you can't be impulsive. You are still young and don't know the danger of this matter. It is not certain whether we can find the person. What if he gets lost from us again when we come back?" Sang Huo said.
Sang Jin could see that her second uncle, who usually looked unreliable, was actually very reliable and very protective of her.
"We just waited here. How could she get lost? Sang Shui is also your sister. How could you be so cruel?" After Father Sang said this, Sang Huo also lowered his head.
What's going on? It's great to have the whole family together, but... my little sister's fate is uncertain. It's all his fault.
"Uncle, Grandpa, stop arguing. I'll go. Trust me, it'll be fine. Don't tell Mom yet." Sang Jin gave them a reassuring look. Zi Shufen was about to give birth again. She was worried that Mom would get excited and something might happen, which would be bad for the baby.
"Okay, no problem. Child, it's grandpa who is sorry for you." Old Man Sang said, holding Sang Jin's hand.
Sang Jin called Li Jingyu along, told him the location, and the two set off. With Li Jingyu around, Sang Jin's safety was not a concern.
Li Jingyu held Sang Jin in his arms and walked with ease under the jade-bone umbrella. It was only a little over a hundred miles, and they arrived in a few breaths.
"Xiao Jin, is this the place?" Li Jingyu confirmed with Sang Jin.
"Grandpa said we should look around where we camped before. My aunt and her family won't be far away." Sang Jin, wearing a veil, began to look around.
Since they were only in this area, she didn't waste her mental energy. Li Jingyu also started to look for someone.
Sang Jin slowly walked towards the small lake. It was the only place with water nearby. Human survival depends on water. So Sang Jin wanted to see if there were any traces of the lake.
"Let's look along the lake."
"good."
The two of them, each in a different direction, began to check the situation along the lake. This would save some time.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Jingyue discovered that the grass along the edge of the lake seemed to have been pressed by something.
"Xiao Jin, come here quickly." Li Jingyu called out to Sang Jin. He sent a voice message to Sang Jin.
"Did you find anything?" Sang Jin ran towards Li Jingyu as fast as he could. He was right across from where they had camped before.
"Look, there are traces of something crushing it here," said Li Jingyu.
"It's most likely a wooden cart pushed by someone." Sang Jin recognized the traces. Almost every household in the countryside had one. It was a great helper for the villagers during the autumn season.
The two of them exchanged another glance and followed the path the wooden cart had left. They were sure to find the person this way. It was most likely my aunt's family.
"Mother... wuwu... I can't reach my nest. Wuwu..." A child whimpered. The two-year-old's speech was not clear, but the pronunciation of the word "mother" was the most accurate.
Sang Jin pushed aside the half-man-high reeds. This place was not far from the lake, so the grass here was a little deeper.
It was indeed a wooden cart, and on it lay a young woman, her face pale and covered in red rashes on her exposed skin.
