When Huang Tao arrived at the Gu family's house, he saw that the Gu family members were all surrounding a strange little boy.
Xiao Hei is now lying beside Jiang Jinxiu, silently protecting her.
The little boy looked rather thin, and although everyone tried their best to make him laugh, he only managed a forced smile.
There was still an unresolved worry in her eyes.
Huang Tao's arrival was within Jiang Jinxiu's expectations.
She repeated to Huang Tao everything Xie Hongfu had told her.
Upon hearing this, Huang Tao had originally planned to leave two people to take care of Xie Hongfu, but Jiang Jinxiu said that she would take care of him herself.
They need more manpower to go into the mountains.
She also told Huang Tao that, in addition to Gu Xichen, her father had also gone up the mountain.
Huang Tao looked at Xiao Hei lying next to Jiang Jinxiu and asked, "Sister-in-law, can we borrow Xiao Hei for now?"
Jiang Jinxiu looked at Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei barked twice at her.
Although Jiang Jinxiu couldn't understand it, she sensed that it still wanted to go, so she agreed.
He also told Huang Tao that if he couldn't find Gu Xichen and her father, he could ask Xiao Hei to lead the way, and Xiao Hei would take him to them.
Finally, Huang Tao asked Jiang Jinxiu to take care of Xie Hongfu first, while he took Xiao Hei and went into the mountains without looking back.
Jiang Jinxiu watched Huang Tao and the others disappear into the distance, feeling very worried.
I wonder how Gu Xichen is doing now, and whether Chengzi is with him.
Jiang Jinxiu was constantly on edge.
Seeing this, Zhao Guoan also clamored to go along.
Gu Xilan also wanted to go, but Yang Dongmei and Grandma Luo both disagreed.
It was so cold outside, and the temperature on the mountain was even lower. They didn't know if those people could rescue anyone. They really didn't want their little grandson (daughter) to take such a risk.
Furthermore, Zhao Guoan is not familiar with the terrain here, so his presence would likely only be a burden.
Zhao Guoan couldn't persuade his grandmother, so he listlessly huddled in the corner drawing circles, occasionally glancing towards the door.
Looking at him like this, Grandma Luo understood everything.
But we can only pretend we don't see it.
As for Gu Xilan, although Yang Dongmei usually lets her train with Gu Xichen and the others, it doesn't mean that she would agree to let her take risks.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.
Jiang Jinxiu also disagreed with them going.
Having no other choice, Gu Xilan went back to her room to read.
But even with the book in his hand, he didn't turn a single page for a long time.
Zhao Guoan simply grabbed a stool and sat down by the door, looking out.
The figure in that silhouette conveyed an indescribable sense of loss.
Xie Hongfu then comforted him, saying, "Big brother, thank you for being willing to save my grandfather, but you must also listen to your grandmother. I didn't listen to my grandfather, which is why I was captured by those bad guys."
"Little brat, what do you know? I'm skilled, I'm sure I won't get caught like you!"
"But those bad guys have guns, really long guns!..."
Zhao Guoan immediately became interested and asked Xie Hongfu to tell him what he had heard and seen...
The two, one big and one small, were whispering to each other, and Jiang Jinxiu didn't disturb them.
Instead, she went inside and gave Xiao Hongfu some candy to eat.
Looking at the colorful candies in his hand, Xiao Hongfu's eyes welled up with tears, but he still politely thanked Jiang Jinxiu.
He used to have plenty of candy to eat; whatever he wanted to eat, his family would buy it for him.
But he hasn't had candy for a month since he was captured by those people.
Seeing Xie Hongfu staring blankly at the candy in his hand, Zhao Guoan tore one open and put it in his mouth. "Is it sweet?"
"sweet!"
"That's right, you have to believe they will rescue your grandfather."
The little guy nodded emphatically.
It's clear that this little guy has been well-mannered since childhood.
As times change, Jiang Jinxiu only hopes that Gu Xichen and the others can return safely and soon.
The eldest and second eldest Gu brothers left the village early and were unaware of what was happening there.
After receiving the notification, Sun Xiaomeng hid at home with Xiao Fangfang and Zhenzhu.
But I was still very uneasy.
Apart from the morning broadcast announcement, I haven't received any other notifications.
She saw it when Huang Tao led his men to the third house.
But not long after, Huang Tao and the others were seen leaving with Xiao Hei.
With a heart full of trepidation, she quickly led the three children to the new three-room house.
As soon as the children entered, they saw the unfamiliar little boy in the yard. After Zhao Guoan introduced them, the group of kids and the leader of the group started playing together.
After Jiang Jinxiu reminded them that Xie Hongfu had an injury on his foot, she ignored them. They all knew how to behave appropriately when she was on a blind date.
As soon as Sun Xiaomeng came in, she consulted Jiang Jinxiu about the situation. When she learned that Gu Xichen and the others had also gone up the mountain, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
She was also very fortunate that her husband and older brother passed away early.
Otherwise, the day's work would definitely be delayed again.
Moreover, she believed that if they were all there, they would definitely follow them up the mountain.
However, as time went by and it got dark, none of the people who went into the mountains returned.
To avoid any accidents, Sun Xiaomeng and the others ate dinner with Jiang Jinxiu and the others at the new house.
They weren't taken away until Gu Laoda and Gu Laoer returned.
That evening, Jiang Jinxiu originally planned to rest with Xie Hongfu, but the little guy somehow got along with Zhao Guoan during the day and became attached to him, saying he wanted to sleep with Brother An.
Jiang Jinxiu had no choice but to agree.
