Chapter 182 Villagers Going Up the Mountain to Look for Someone (2/2)



Xinghua Village, at the gate of the Li family.

Li An and his sixty men were ready, each holding a weapon in their hands.

"No matter what, we must find a way to bring him back." Village chief Li and several elders said solemnly.

"Don't worry!" Li An nodded. No matter what he said, he would do his best to bring the person back.

So Li An and his group followed the footsteps of Li Mengyue and others and chased them into the mountains at a very fast speed.

About sixty people were marching through the woods. Since they were trying to rescue someone, everyone had a serious expression and didn't dare to delay for even a moment, moving forward all the time.

But for this group of people, except for Li An, it was the first time for everyone else to go into the mountains. They had no idea what the mountains were like inside.

Because Li Mengyue and others had entered the mountains yesterday and had cleared the path, Li An and his group were able to move forward very quickly.

"Uncle Li An, look here and see if it's marked."

Li An stopped and Qian went forward to take a look. He found that it was his daughter's handwriting and immediately said with certainty, "That's right, keep going."

Li An looked solemn. The last time he went into the mountains, he hadn't gone this far when he encountered a big beast and injured his legs.

It now seemed that Yueyue and the others had walked for an unknown distance, and there was nothing else to be seen nearby except some traces of human footsteps. There was not even a bit of animal feces. It was obvious that there was a problem.

But sometimes no news actually means a good thing. Maybe Yueyue is waiting for them to rescue her not far away.

Another hour passed, and Li An felt very depressed. He didn't dare to think about what he and Wan Niang would do if something happened to his daughter.

We also have two younger sons. Since our daughter came back, they have been eating well, dressing well, and their personalities have become much more cheerful.

Especially Yu, who was always gloomy before, but now that he goes to school, he smiles a lot more.

Thinking of this, Li An's pace became faster and faster, and soon, some people could not keep up with him.

"Li An, are we going too fast? Do you want to take a break?" Li Mu saw that everyone had been rushing since they went up the mountain, and they were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Why are you taking a break? Don't you know that someone is waiting for us to rescue them?" Li An shouted angrily in a cold voice.

The person who spoke did not expect that just a casual remark from him would make the usually good-tempered Li An so angry.

However, he somewhat understood Li An. If he had a daughter who was very troublesome, who led people up the mountain to find water and returned home after a night without knowing whether she was alive or dead, she would not be much better off than Li Ang.

So facing Li An's bad temper, Li Mu did not get angry, nor did he refute Li An's words. Instead, he said smoothly: "Okay, if you don't want to rest, then don't rest. Let's hurry up."

In fact, Li An felt a little regretful after he finished speaking. He saw that everyone was panting and struggling to move forward, and he knew that Li Mu's suggestion was right. It would be better to let everyone take a short rest before continuing on their journey.

But he really didn't want to stop, because as long as he stopped, his mind would start to wander.

When he saw that his daughter did not come back at night, he did not sleep all night and just waited for dawn to go up the mountain to look for her. He was not willing to stop and rest.

"Li Mu, you and your men rest here first. I'll continue searching."

Li An didn't want to stop, but he didn't want to disturb everyone's rest, so he had to follow the traces and search by himself.

Li Mu patted Li An on the shoulder and said loudly: "Li An, what are you talking about? I, Li Mu, am this kind of person. Let's fight together."

Then he looked at the others and said encouragingly, "Everyone, keep going and look forward. Maybe someone is waiting for us up there."

So the group dragged their tired bodies and continued to move forward.
