Xie also heard Gao Zhi's crying, and her heart was broken. She ran over crying and hugged Gao Zhi. Looking at the wounds on Gao Zhi's face, she felt so distressed.

"Mom knows Jiaojiao is in pain. Let's go home and I'll help you apply medicine."

Gao Zhi pointed at the wolf cub on the ground and said, "Mom, take it home."

Xie looked down and without asking any questions, she simply picked up the little wolf cub and put it in her arms.

"Let's go! Go down the mountain and go home first."

Gao Zhi hugged Xie's neck and cried on her shoulder.

The villagers watched as the person was found, but when they heard Gao Zhi crying, they also thought that the child was so young that they probably wouldn't be able to explain why if they asked her.

So, everyone went down the mountain together.

The ancestor had been waiting at the door of the Xie family.

Over the past year or so, we have been able to drink the spiritual spring water from Gaozhi from time to time, and our ancestor has become more sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.

Gao Zhi's crying could be heard from afar.

Found the person!

He breathed a sigh of relief.

But hearing the crying, my heart ached again.

It hurts!

The old man walked towards the path with his crutches and saw Xie holding Gaozhi from afar.

Old Ancestor: "How is Jiaojiao?"

As Xie walked, she answered, "We found him in the back hills. He fell and got scared. He kept crying and couldn't be comforted.

My dear ancestors, it is impossible for such a young child to walk there alone. We need you to seek justice and find out what happened.

I don’t know who is so wicked and hates the people in our village so much that he actually wants to kill Jiaojiao.

By doing this, he clearly wants to kill our entire village.

My dear, if a child as young as Jiaojiao is thrown on the mountain, she will be taken away by wild beasts when it gets dark. I, I, I..."

As Xie spoke, tears fell like rain and she could not continue.

In fact, this is enough.

It's not good for her to talk too much.

Now the meaning has been expressed.

The old man stamped his cane, glared with his tiger eyes, and said angrily: "Investigate! We will definitely find out the truth!"

The villagers were so angry that they kept cursing the person who took Gao Zhi away.

Gao Acai's family was still confused. They had no idea that it was Gao Laoer who could no longer hold back and acted on his own.

Gao Laosan came to the side of Gao Laotai and said, "Mom, we didn't see our second brother."

Old Mrs. Gao was shocked.

Yes! The second child went out this morning, saying he was going up the mountain to collect firewood, and he hasn't come back since.

Old Mrs. Gao soon calmed down.

"Your second brother went up the mountain to collect firewood. Didn't he tell the family this morning? He even brought a hatchet with him."

That being said, I still felt a little panicked.

Gao Zhi was also found on the mountain.

Gao Laoer hasn't shown up yet, could this be related?

Now that Gao Zhi has been found, what about her second child? Where is he?

The Xie family's yard was crowded with people.

After hearing the news, Li Mei ran in crying and helped Xie apply medicine to Gao Zhi, change clothes, and wash hands and face.

Looking at the wounds on Gao Zhi's face and forehead, Li Mei kept wiping away tears.

"Jiaojiao, it's all my fault for not taking good care of you, Jiaojiao must be in pain.

sorry!

Auntie..."

With a snap.

Li Mei slapped herself and looked at Xie and Gao Zhi with an apologetic look on her face.

She was about to slap herself again, but Xie quickly grabbed her wrist.

"Sister, don't be like this! This is not your fault. Let's take Jiaojiao out first, the old ancestor is still waiting outside."

Li Mei cried and wiped her tears.

She kept blaming herself, saying that Gao Zhi was missing because she didn't take good care of him.

Even if others don't blame her, she blames herself.

Gao Zhi looked at Li Mei and soothed her in a baby voice, "Don't blame Auntie! Bad guy, really bad! Jiaojiao can't shout!"

Xie quickly carried Gao Zhi out.

"Grandfather, Jiaojiao said that some bad guys carried her up the mountain."

The old ancestor waved his hand and looked at Gao Zhi distressedly, "Let me hug Jiaojiao."

Xie carried Gao Zhi over.

Gao Zhi threw herself into the old ancestor's arms and sobbed pitifully.

"Grandfather, Jiaojiao is so scared! Bad guy, so bad! Cover me, I can't see or shout!"

There weren't many words, but Gao Zhi had made it clear how she felt and what the bad guys had done.

The villagers started talking.

"Sure enough, someone took Jiaojiao away."

"That person secretly hugged Jiaojiao, what was he trying to do?"

"He carried Jiaojiao to the mountain and left her there. It was almost dark. What do you think he wanted to do?"

After hearing this, the villagers shuddered all over. A chill ran up from the soles of their feet, and their whole bodies instantly became cold.

This is going to kill Gao Zhi!

At the same time, he also wanted to harm their Lao Zhuang Village.

The old man took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped Jiaojiao's tears, and asked softly:

"Jiaojiao, do you recognize who the bad guy is?"

Jiaojiao shook her head, "Jiaojiao was covered and her eyes were closed. When she woke up, she was at the edge of the cliff."

When the villagers heard that Gao Zhi had woken up on the edge of the cliff, they broke out in cold sweats again.

Are you trying to throw Gaozhi off the cliff?

The old ancestor was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Gao Zhi comforted him in return, stroking his beard, his face, and then his head.

"Grandfather, Jiaojiao is fine, don't be angry, don't be afraid!"

After listening to Jiaojiao's words, the old ancestor felt even more distressed and hated the villain even more!

But judging from the information we have now, the man is missing. He probably threw Gao Zhi on the edge of the cliff and ran away.

I guess he was thinking that it was getting dark and wild beasts were lurking around, so Gao Zhi would not survive either.

But that person didn't expect that Gao Zhi was so lucky and could return home alive.

The ancestor handed Gao Zhi over to Xie and arranged for Li Mei to stay here with Xie.

The others went back to their homes.

He called several capable people in the village to his home and sat down to discuss the matter together.

“It was a close call this time, but something like this must not happen again.

We, the young and old in Lao Zhuang Village, cannot bear the punishment from heaven!

We must find out who took Jiaojiao away?

Please tell me your opinions first. Do you have any doubts in your mind?"

After that, several people expressed their opinions.

Everyone suspected the same thing.

From Gao Acai’s family!

It’s just that Gao Acai’s family also helped to look for someone today. Although they have suspicions, they really have no evidence.

At this time, the atmosphere in Gao Acai's home was a little weird.

It was dark outside, and the kitchen was still empty with no one cooking.

Gao Acai was babbling something and gesticulating with his hands.

Old Lady Gao looked at him and said, "Your father asked where the second son had gone. Why hasn't he come back yet? It's already dark outside."

Gao Laoer's wife was also anxious, "He said he was going up the mountain to collect firewood this morning, but he hasn't come back since."

Gao Laosan asked: "Second sister-in-law, did second brother tell you anything?"

Gao Laoer's wife: "What do you mean? Do you suspect that your second brother did it?"

Gao Laosan: "That's not what I meant, but my second brother hasn't come back yet.

Second sister-in-law, think about it carefully, did Second Brother really not say anything, or have any strange reactions?"

Several people looked at Gao Laoer's wife.

Not to mention the villagers' suspicions, now they themselves suspect that it was Gao Laoer who did it.
