Chapter 245: Stubborn He Xun.
He was well aware of Gu Yanchen's skills, and he also knew exactly what Ran Qingxuan was capable of.
Now that things have developed to this point, as the eldest son of the Gu family, he should shoulder the heavy burden. Once he panics, the Gu family will definitely become leaderless.
"Mom, you must not collapse. If my sixth brother and his wife come back and see you grieving over such a small matter, how can they feel at ease?"
Gu Yanzong knew how to comfort people. Madam Gu was originally angry and the weather was cold, but after he comforted her, she didn't look so depressed anymore.
Seeing this, Bu Wei walked up to the Gu family and said to Gu Yanzong, "The cave here is too small. It's not practical to rest here at night. If your mother can walk, let's walk to the next big cave and stay there at night."
Gu Yanzong looked back at his mother. Madam Gu stood up and said firmly, "My old bones can still hold on. There is no reason to worry the young ones."
"It's just that I'm worried that the two children won't be able to find us when they come back..."
After hearing this, Bu Wei took a piece of charcoal and wrote something on the stone wall, which roughly meant that they would rest in the next big cave.
No one dares to say that keeping these things is useless, they can only be considered as comforting the living!
When the team set off, Shang Bin's family was arranged at the very end and was personally looked after by Bu Fei and Qian Zheng.
The whole family was put in handcuffs and shackles because of their recent behavior, and Bu Wei even gave an order that if they dared to do anything rash, they would be beheaded on the spot!
Li Si was beaten beyond recognition by her parents and was almost beaten to death. But after all, she was the only one left with her son and grandson gone, so Li Xinyuan couldn't bring himself to kill her.
The older concubine was named Qiuyu. She originally served Zhao Chunxiu. Now she was carrying Li Si, who had fainted from the pain, on her back. She had no idea how many times she had cursed him along the way.
Zhao Chunxiu followed behind and kept cursing, saying that she had evil intentions and that she would marry her off at a high price when they got to the place...
The Xiao family members who were walking in front of their house sneered at this, and hoped in their hearts that Ran Qingxuan and the others could return safely.
The Gu family members were walking in the front, feeling very sad, but in order not to upset Old Madam Gu, they could only lower their heads and hurry on their way as if nothing had happened.
After walking for nearly two hours, we finally arrived at the resting place before dark.
The tents were set up, fires were lit and meals were cooked in an orderly manner, but with two people missing, everyone's mood was a little low.
Bu Wei sighed inwardly and gave the order.
"It's too late. You should have dinner and rest early. In case the two of them come back tomorrow, don't be too tired to travel."
Upon hearing this, several families ate some noodles without any appetite and then went back to their tents to rest. Several sisters-in-law went into a tent at the same time, but they all started wiping away tears at the same time.
Several people spoke words of comfort to each other but did not dare to speak too loudly, silently praying that the two would return safely.
The officials' tents were placed on both sides of the cave entrance. In order to prevent the Shang family from attacking the Gu family at night, Bu Wei arranged people to guard them personally.
The Gu family slept at the innermost side of the cave, with the Chen family and the Xiao family next to them. Because of this matter, the two families spontaneously arranged people to keep watch at night.
He Xun looked at the Shang family members who fell asleep on the ground, snorted coldly, and threw some firewood into the fire beside the tent.
Seeing Bu Wei sitting outside the tent in a daze, he walked over and sat down before speaking.
"Boss, Shang Bin used to be the most obedient member of the team. I didn't expect that he would do such a big thing when we weren't paying attention."
"Boss, you left a message!"
Bu Wei glanced in the direction of the Gu family with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"We have benefited a lot from the Ran family. We should do this to comfort her family. In the future, please keep some things in your heart and don't say them out loud, so as not to make others feel uncomfortable."
He Xun didn't shut up, and even a trace of worry flashed across his face.
"The 300-meter rope hasn't even reached the bottom yet. The Gu couple must be in great danger if they fall down. How could Ran, such a good person, just..."
When Bu Wei heard that He Xun's tone was actually tearful, he immediately became furious and slapped him in the face with a feeling of disappointment.
"Ran jumped with her husband. If they both died, it would be considered a love suicide. It is not your turn as an outsider to mourn for them!"
Fortunately, there were no other officials around except the two of them at the moment. After calming down, He Xun continued.
"Boss, whether they are alive or dead, things have come to this point. Are we just going to leave tomorrow and not wait any longer?"
Bu Wei lowered his head helplessly: "No matter what, we have to get there at least a month before. If we delay too long, we will have trouble explaining it."
Hearing that they had to leave tomorrow, He Xun became visibly sad. Once he left, it would mean that the two of them would really...
Through the firelight in front of him, Bu Wei could see the expression on his face clearly.
You don't have to guess, this guy still has some fantasies about the Ran family...
"He Xun, I know that Ran had some misunderstandings in order to save you, but you also saw that she was not afraid of death and wanted to be a pair of star-crossed lovers with Gu Yanchen. What do you have to think about it!"
"Listen to my elder brother's advice and recognize your own identity, otherwise you will be the only one who suffers."
Bu Wei wanted to break the truth into pieces and stuff it into his mouth. He Xun himself was not so stupid that he could not understand it, but he was stubborn and believed that if Ran Qingxuan had not saved him, he would have died long ago.
If he were to leave now and abandon the two people whose lives and deaths were unknown, how would he live with his conscience?
"Boss, no matter whether they are dead or alive, I will go down and look for any traces of them. What if?"
Bu Wei has worked with He Xun for many years and knows his character very well. In one word, stubborn!
He sighed and said, "It's not realistic to go down with a rope. You can only try to find them from the bottom of the cliff to see if you can find them..." When he said this, Bu Wei turned his face away unnaturally.
"You'll be given three days to search. Whether you find it or not, you must return immediately."
"Don't worry, boss. I'll be back on time in three days!"
He Xun had already made up his mind. No matter whether the person was dead or alive, he would bring the person back even if he only found a corpse.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. All the female members of the family, including Old Madam Gu, could not fall asleep, especially Old Madam Gu.
Gu Yanzong’s words kept lingering in her ears. As the backbone of the Gu family, what would these younger generations do if she fell?
Gu Yanzong's tent was right next to him, and the sound of him tossing and turning in sleep was endless. He could only pray silently that Ran Qingxuan was capable enough to return safely!
Xuan'er, who was held in Fang Jin's arms, sensibly pulled the quilt for her mother.
"Mom, Aunt Six is a fairy. She and Uncle Six will definitely come back!"
Fang Jin held back her tears and patted Xuan'er on the back, thinking it was just a careless remark from a child.
