Ruan Qingling slowly walked towards the car that was in disarray.
The cockpit has been pried open.
Perhaps it was to rescue the people inside.
She searched the vicinity carefully but found nothing.
Ruan Qingling asked, "Did their search and rescue report mention finding any of Song Shiting's belongings?"
Ruan Huaizhu thought for a moment and said, "Second sister, yes, they said they found one of your husband's shoes."
Ruan Qingling's eyes darkened, and she asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Ruan Huaizhu said, "After you received the news of your second brother-in-law's accident, you looked so dejected that we didn't dare to talk to you too much, for fear that if we talked too much, you would become even more agitated."
Ruan Qingling said, "These things must be told to me. If you don't tell me, I really won't know anything."
She was just a family member, not an investigator, so she didn't know many things.
Ruan Huaizhu quickly said, "Second sister, don't be angry. I'll tell you everything in the future, but right now... what should we do?"
Ruan Qingling said, "Let's take a look first."
Ruan Huaizhu could only do her best to cooperate from the side.
However, Ruan Qingling searched for a long time but found no clues.
Her brows furrowed. If someone wasn't deliberately covering it up, then Song Shiting hadn't fallen off the car!
If Song Shiting didn't come down, why didn't he let his family know he was safe?
So, did he jump out of the car while it was rolling downhill?
So, is it possible that something happened to him somewhere else?
Everyone focused on the car, forgetting that there were other possibilities along the way.
It's just that this is such a big mountain.
How do I find it?
Seeing Ruan Qingling's searching gaze, Ruan Huaizhu had no choice but to silently follow along.
Fortunately, my second sister remained strong and didn't cry when she saw the car.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do.
Ruan Qingling looked to the left and noticed.
There were marks on the tree branches indicating that they had been cut.
Ruan Qingling suddenly said, "This place has been cut off."
Someone is cutting down trees here!
Ruan Huaizhu looked at it carefully, and it was indeed so.
She asked, "Who's cutting down trees here?"
Ruan Qingling: "This means someone has been here."
Ruan Huaizhu nodded and said, "Then if we find this person, we might have news about my brother-in-law."
Ruan Qingling nodded; she couldn't believe that Song Shiting could die like this.
But if Song Shiting is safe, why didn't he send a message home?
Ruan Huaizhu said, "Second sister, don't think too much about it now. As long as your husband is not in any danger, we will find him eventually."
Ruan Qingling felt much calmer and nodded, "Mm."
As long as Song Shiting is alive, she will definitely be able to find him.
"Second sister, are you hungry? Why don't you eat something first?" Ruan Huaizhu asked.
Ruan Qingling shook her head and said, "Let's see if there are any villages nearby, and then ask around for information."
Ruan Huaizhu nodded and said, "Okay."
Now, whatever Ruan Qingling says, I will naturally support her wholeheartedly.
The two rested for a while.
Ruan Qingling searched the vicinity again.
In addition to the tree branch that was just discovered, she also found several other places.
This discovery rekindled hope in Ruan Qingling's heart.
"Let's look again."
Worried about Ruan Qingling's health, Ruan Huaizhu said, "Second sister, aren't we going up?"
Ruan Qingling said, "Let me see if there are any other discoveries. No one is making a fire here, so why would this person cut down the tree?"
What is the purpose of cutting down trees?
Ruan Huaizhu frowned and said, "Second sister, you've been here too long. Why don't you have the driver accompany you upstairs? I'll look for it here some more."
Ruan Qingling said, "I don't want to give up on this clue; I want to keep searching."
She insisted on walking forward and didn't want to go up, so Ruan Huaizhu had no choice but to follow her.
However, there was truly no way to go down there.
Ruan Huaizhu asked, "Second sister, did you say that the tree was cut down because your husband left it behind?"
Ruan Qingling shook her head and said, "I don't think so."
Ruan Huaizhu looked puzzled and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
Ruan Qingling said, "Because it wasn't cut with a military knife!"
No matter how powerful Song Shiting is, he can't just conjure up a wood-chopping knife at will.
That makes sense!
Ruan Huaizhu nodded and said, "Then someone must have passed by. As for whether that person saw my second brother-in-law, that's another question."
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "That's what I think, so we need to see who did it."
The driver who followed them out asked, "What are your plans now, ladies?"
Ruan Qingling said, "I want to take another look."
It's better to rely on yourself than on others.
She also wanted to search for it again herself.
Ruan Huaizhu said, "Second sister, you are pregnant now, so you should take care of yourself. Let's leave here first."
Ruan Qingling shook her head and said, "No rush, let's take another look."
Ruan Huaizhu asked the driver to search the other side to see if there were any clues, while she stayed with Ruan Qingling.
However, strangely enough, apart from discovering the unusual tree-cutting, nothing else was found.
Ruan Huaizhu looked at the sky and said, "Second sister, we have to go up. If we don't go up now, it will get dark."
“We also need to go up and see if Song Jie has found any useful information. Since we found traces of people walking here, it must be related to the nearby villages.”
She wondered, if it weren't for people from nearby villages, who would come to this place to cut down trees?
So if you can't find anyone down there, you should look around the neighborhood.
There might be news.
In the end, Ruan Qingling had no choice but to come up.
Going down is easy, coming back up is hard.
Ruan Huaizhu was worried about Ruan Qingling, but she made it up safely.
After we got up there, Song Jie told us that she saw villagers from nearby villages, but they lived in places deeper in the mountains.
Ruan Huaizhu immediately asked, "Did you ask them if any strangers have been there recently?"
Song Jie said, "I asked, and they said no."
Before Ruan Qingling could even catch her breath, she asked, "Where is the village located? Let's go take a look."
Song Jie pointed to the winding mountain road and said, "They said it's behind this mountain."
Ruan Qingling said, "Let's go take a look tomorrow."
Ruan Huaizhu: "Second sister, let's get some rest before we go."
Unable to find a place to rest that night, we had to find a spot nearby to camp.
Ruan Huaizhu collected a lot of timber.
For dinner, I could only eat biscuits and drink water.
Ruan Qingling leaned against a tree. She had been walking all day and only now did she realize how tired she was.
However, there was still no news about Song Shiting's whereabouts.
Ruan Huaizhu sat down next to her and asked, "Second sister, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
Ruan Qingling said, "Let's go check if there's any news about your second brother-in-law in the nearby villages before we make any plans."
After a quick night's rest, the car was started early the next morning.
However, after searching around the nearby villages twice, no matter how they looked or asked, no one noticed that a stranger had entered or that anything was amiss.
Song Jie asked dejectedly, "How could this happen?"
How can a person disappear in an instant, without leaving a trace?
