Chapter 8



The back mountain is very small. It takes only a few minutes to walk uphill from the foot of the mountain to the top. The top of the mountain is relatively flat and is the private land of the villagers on the other side.

There is a bamboo forest from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. After Xu Sui went up the mountain, she deliberately made noises and waited for Zhao Bin to come down.

She hid in the space, and when she heard Zhao Bin's footsteps passing by her, she suddenly appeared from behind him and quickly electrocuted him.

After solving one, now it’s time to wait for another one.

Perhaps three or four minutes later, footsteps were heard again at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Pan'er didn't expect that she just followed a little further away, and Xu Sui's figure disappeared if she made a mistake.

She guessed that Xu Sui must have gone up the mountain, so she planned to proceed according to the plan as soon as she saw him.

Jiang Pan'er walked lightly. She knew where Zhao Bin would stand, so she was not worried about being discovered as soon as she went up the mountain.

But after taking only a few steps, everything went dark before his eyes and he lost consciousness.

Xu Sui clapped her hands. The heroine who hasn't grown up yet is easy to deal with. Her advantage is that she is scheming and ruthless.

If she doesn't have space, she will be very passive.

After making sure that the two would not wake up for the time being, Xu Sui walked to the middle of the hillside and released them both from the space.

She unbuttoned two buttons on each of their shirts, then gently pushed them four or five meters down, where there was a thicker bamboo tree that could hold their bodies.

Xu Sui did not stop, but went straight down the mountain, picked a few ripe tomatoes from the vegetable garden and went back.

She wasn't out for long, and no one else noticed anything was wrong.

The moonlight slowly enveloped the sky. The Xu family did not light any kerosene lamps, and everyone sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

The tomatoes grown in the Xu family’s vegetable garden are very small and not completely red when ripe, but they have that special tomato fragrance.

Xu Changgen and Xu Hongjun were splitting bamboo strips to make a basket to put things in for Xu Sui. Zhang Yunxiu was fanning herself leisurely with a cattail leaf fan and discussing with Xu's wife what to bring back for Xu Mian.

In the midst of peace and tranquility, there was a loud noise coming from the Jiang family's yard next door, and then there was a knock on the Xu family's gate.

Jiang Fugui walked in with a bitter face, "Captain, you have to help me."

His wife Wang Zhaodi also said: "Yes, we have looked for him for a long time, but we can't find him. I don't know what he is doing. Normally, our family should be asleep at this time..."

Xu Changgen slapped the ground with his bamboo stick, interrupting her and saying, "Please tell me clearly, who is missing? Why is he missing?"

Wang Zhaodi choked, "My Pan'er, Pan'er is missing. I don't know where this damn girl has gone to. I can't find her anywhere."

Jiang Fugui added, "He was still asleep during dinner. I don't know when he went out and he hasn't come back since."

They had dinner relatively early at home, and they started eating right after the meeting. After all, except for Jiang Fugui and Jiang Jizu who had some stir-fried vegetables with lard, everyone else had some salty dishes.

"Pan'er never went out at night before. Our family is poor, others look down on us, and she has no friends. How could she go out so late and not come back?" Wang Zhaodi started to cry as she spoke, her eyes moving around dishonestly.

The Jiang family was definitely not unpopular because they had no money, so Xu Changgen didn't argue with her and turned around and said, "Hongjun, get someone to look for it together."

Xu Hongjun responded, and Zhang Yunxiu hurried to prepare the needle.

The Jiang family's popularity in the team is not very good, but their children are another story. When they heard the news that Jiang Pan'er was missing, many people volunteered to look for her, and even those who were lying in bed got up.

Although according to what Wang Zhaodi said, Jiang Pan'er disappeared for less than two hours, but this was already very abnormal in the countryside, especially at bedtime.

In the eyes of the team members, Jiang Pan'er is a shy little girl who should not do such a thing as not coming home so late.

Xu Hongjun walked towards the educated youth site with a stick in his hand, and met several educated youths before he arrived.

Lin Jianguo, who was at the front, ran over and said, "Brother Hongjun, we were just about to look for Captain 꺶, but Zhao Bin is missing!"

Several educated youths behind also responded.

"Yeah, he ran out after dinner and hasn't come back yet."

They hadn't originally thought about looking for one. For a man, there was nothing to worry about.

But Lin Jianguo was so anxious that he could not help but persuade them that if they did not find a partner, there would be no friendship among the educated youth.

Xu Hongjun frowned, "Zhao Bin is missing? Jiang Pan'er is missing too. Go back and get it. Let's look for it nearby together."

"Jiang Paner?" The surprise on Lin Jianguo's face was not acted, shouldn't it be Xu Sui?

When a man and a woman suddenly disappear, everyone will first think of something, but they are all adults and they won't say it out loud.

Soon, calls came from all over the team.

Zhang Yunxiu also went out to look for them, but she kept Xu Sui and Xu Xiaosao at home. "Don't go out. Just wait for news. Who knows what might have happened."

A lot of people went out, but Jiang Fugui and Wang Zhaodi were still standing at the gate of the yard.

Wang Zhaodi whispered, "Dad, do you think Pan'er will not come back on his own?"

Everyone knows their own business. Although Wang Zhaodi doesn't pay much attention to her daughter, she has noticed that Jiang Pan'er has been acting strange recently. She used to be the same, except that she used to stay at home honestly except for work, but now she disappears from time to time.

Wang Zhaodi suspected that her daughter had been in a relationship with a man. In her eyes, her daughter was raised to get married and collect dowries to contribute to the family, but the dowries offered by the people in the team were not as much as those outside.

Just as she was about to keep a closer eye on her, Jiang Pan'er disappeared.

Jiang Fugui glared at her and said, "You are such a coward that you can't even keep an eye on her. When she comes back, I will beat her up severely and lock her up in the room for a few days to teach her a lesson!"

Wang Zhaodi was so upset that she didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Yunxiu came out and said unhappily, "What are you two still doing here? Why don't you go and look for it more quickly?"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Fugui immediately put on a smiling face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened. "Aren't there no more needles at home? I am a timid woman, sister-in-law, you see..."

Zhang Yunxiu sighed, too lazy to say anything to him, "Just follow me."

Xu Hongjun and several other people had asked every household in the team, and they all said that Jiang Pan'er had never been to their home.

At this time, Xu Changgen also frowned, especially after he learned that a male educated youth was also missing.

Rather than the elopement that the gossipy people were whispering about, he thought it was an accident.

After all, it's hard to get around without an introduction, so where can you elope to? Besides, Zhao Bin, a city dweller, wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"Found it! Found it!" a man ran over hurriedly.
