Yu Huiru had already learned of He Yuhan's disappearance. After crying for a while, she took her two children to the Han family to meet up and wait for news of her daughter.
She and Wen Jinyu didn't sleep a wink all night, practically weeping their eyes out. No amount of comforting from the men could change their minds.
Fortunately, I knew the children needed to sleep and I shouldn't disturb them, so I didn't cry loudly.
Now that they had the news that He Yuhan was most likely still alive, Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru were almost moved to tears. The two women held each other's hands, tears streaming down their faces.
Yu Huiru said, "God help us, let Yi find Yuhan quickly, please don't let anything happen to Yuhan."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yuhan is a lucky person, she will be alright, Yixian will definitely find her."
Yu Huiru said, "Why has my daughter suffered so much? She was in danger right after she was born and we had to send her to live with a fellow villager. Later, we lost track of her and she suffered terribly in the Du family."
"We finally left the Du family, but the journey has been fraught with hardship and near-death experiences. This time, she's encountered such danger again. Just thinking about it breaks my heart. Why is my daughter so unlucky?"
He Chenglin said, "This time, someone is specifically targeting Yuhan, and it has been planned for a long time. Even if nothing happens this time, something will happen sooner or later."
Han Xiao sighed and said, "This group of people is very likely targeting the Han family. Yu Han was just implicated."
He Chenglin waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about implicating us? Since Yuhan has already married into the Han family, of course she should stand with the Han family through thick and thin."
Thankfully, the child and my in-laws were unharmed; otherwise, it would have been much more complicated. We must be extremely careful until the danger is over. We were negligent this time; we'll learn from this experience.
Han Xiao said with a gloomy face, "This time we must find out who is behind this. The Han family is not a weakling to be slaughtered. Since they dared to take action, we will chop off their hands."
I've already sent people to investigate out-of-town vehicles and individuals that have come to City C and the surrounding areas recently. We need to find out more details. I believe we'll have leads soon.
He Chenglin shook his head and said, "It probably won't be easy to find out. The fact that they were able to settle in an abandoned village in the mountains means they were trying their best to avoid people's sight, so that they could leave as few clues as possible or none at all. If their cars never enter towns or villages, how can we find clues if no one sees them?"
This group must have made thorough preparations, which shows that the power behind them should not be underestimated.
Let's wait for Yuhan and the others to come back and ask them properly. Maybe Yuhan will get some clues.
Han Xiao nodded and said, "I hope Yi Xian can find Yu Han and the others as soon as possible."
When He Yuhan woke up at daybreak, she saw that Huo Xicheng had already sat up.
She quickly got up and asked, "Brother Huo, why are you up?"
Huo Xicheng said, "I felt really uncomfortable lying down all night, so I sat up. Don't worry, I was very careful and didn't aggravate the wound."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "That's good, let me check you out."
As she spoke, she took Huo Xicheng's pulse and then said happily, "You're recovering well. You should feel less weak now, right?"
Huo Xicheng said, "Yes, I feel much better now. It's thanks to your excellent medical skills that I recovered so quickly."
He Yuhan said, "You lost a lot of blood this time, so you must eat more foods that replenish blood and qi. I'll cook some red date porridge for you to drink more of."
He Yuhan used the gas stove to cook some red date porridge and reheated the leftover chicken soup from yesterday.
Huo Xicheng drank a bowl of chicken soup and some porridge.
After the two finished breakfast, He Yuhan put Huo Xicheng's medicine into the IV drip again.
Yesterday, Huo Xicheng sweated profusely while escaping with He Yuhan, and also suffered a lot of blood loss due to injuries, resulting in a sharp decrease in body fluids. Today, he has almost fully recovered.
He Yuhan said, "Brother Huo, I'll go out and check the surroundings. Although we can't go out yet, we can at least scout out the area."
Huo Xicheng said, "Go ahead. I'll remove the needle myself after the IV is finished. Your shoulder is injured too, so be careful when you go out. If you encounter any wild animals, don't panic. Take your pistol with you."
He Yuhan said, "My shoulder is fine. I searched for this cave all day yesterday and didn't encounter any large animals. I guess there shouldn't be any ferocious beasts here, so don't worry."
Han Yixian and He Zhenhua discovered more traces; Han Yixian even found the marks He Yuhan had made on the road.
Han Yixian said excitedly, "These must be the marks made by Yuhan. We will definitely be able to find Yuhan and the others by following these marks."
He Zhenhua was also very excited. The increasing evidence indicated that his younger sister and the others were in the valley and still alive. This was the best news imaginable.
He looked at the red ribbon tied to the tree branch and said, "I guess Yuhan is also trying to find her way out. She made these marks because she was afraid of getting lost."
Han Yi nodded and said, "With these marks, it proves that we've already walked these paths and won't repeat them. Let's hurry up and try to find Yuhan and the others as soon as possible."
The two of them were much more motivated and walked much faster.
He Yuhan didn't dare go too far. Huo Xicheng had only just recovered a little, and she was still worried about him.
After searching around the cave and finding no exit, she returned to the cave.
When she returned, Huo Xicheng's IV drip was almost finished. After the IV drip ran out, He Yuhan pulled out the needle.
Huo Xicheng had chicken soup and red date porridge this morning, and he also received a lot of medicine and fluids. Now he feels bloated and in pain in his bladder and urgently needs to relieve himself.
Huo Xicheng blushed and said, "Yuhan, I want to get up and walk around. I'm too tired to lie here."
He Yuhan said, "If you're tired, you can get up and sit down for a bit."
Huo Xicheng gritted his teeth and said, "I need to go out to relieve myself."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan slapped her forehead and said, "It's all my fault, I forgot about this. Can you get up? If not, I'll get something and you can take care of it in the cave. You're a patient now, you don't need to be so fussy."
Huo Xicheng blushed and insisted, "I feel fine. I'll just relieve myself near the cave; I won't go far."
He Yuhan was also a little embarrassed and said, "Okay then, I'll help you up."
Huo Xicheng said, "Don't just worry about me, you also need to be careful with your shoulders."
He Yuhan helped Huo Xicheng, whose face was flushed, to his feet, and then helped him walk out of the cave.
They had just stepped out of the cave when Han Yixian and He Zhenhua, who had followed the markings, spotted them.
Upon seeing He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng standing at the entrance of the cave, Han Yixian was overjoyed and called out, "Yuhan, Yuhan, I've finally found you!"
Then he ran quickly towards He Yuhan.
