Chapter 181 Lin Dongyang Disappears
The village chief's words plunged everyone into deep thought...
During this period of time away from home, everyone was indeed a bit lost and tired, and every time we went out, something would happen, which made everyone feel safer in the mountains.
This has led many people to consider settling down in the mountains.
The villagers of Shanglin Village didn't stop all afternoon. Although the mountain road was difficult to walk on, everyone's pace was not slow at all.
After a long day of running around, everyone was exhausted. They ate some simple dry food and went to bed early.
…………
On the other side, Bai Ming and his servant searched the pipes for an entire afternoon but still couldn't find Ning Bao.
Bai Dong looked at the displaced people slumped over on the official road, preparing to sleep.
"Master, could it be that Miss Ningbao didn't take this route?"
Bai Ming looked around.
“Under normal circumstances, Ningbao and the others would definitely move forward. This is the only road to the south. We are moving very fast, so it is impossible for them to be ahead of us. They might still be behind us.”
Bai Ming thought for a moment.
"Bai Dong, let's go back."
…………
In the middle of the night, Ningbao, who was snoring softly, was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Shen Yuzhen, who had already gotten up.
"Mother, why are you up before dawn?"
Ning Bao, belatedly realizing this, turned around and found that Mu Chunping was also not in bed.
Ning Bao then realized something was wrong and sat up abruptly.
Shen Yuzhen, who had been standing up, quickly came over when she saw Ningbao wake up.
"Ningbao, I'm sorry, Mom woke you up. Something happened at your Uncle Jianfei's house. Your father has already gone there, and I was thinking of going to see him too."
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.
"Mother, what happened to Uncle Jianfei's family?"
Shen Yuzhen hesitated for a moment but still told the truth.
"Ningbao, Dongyang is nowhere to be found!"
"What?" Ning Bao's drowsiness vanished instantly. She nimbly scrambled up from her cot and grabbed her outer garment.
Shen Yuzhen quickly picked up her outer garment and helped her put it on. As she helped Ningbao put on her shoes and socks, Shen Yuzhen said...
"Your Uncle Jianfei just came over to call your father, saying that Dongyang got up to use the outhouse in the middle of the night. The child is not very big, so it's not a big deal for him to pee nearby."
But for some reason, Dongyang said his stomach hurt while he was sleeping. He felt that he was defecating too close to the camp, which would not only smell bad but also cause the villagers to step on him.
So Dongyang went to the outhouse at a place that wasn't too far away. Because it was dark and they were in the mountains, Uncle Jianfei was worried and went with him.
Dongyang, that kid, is thin-skinned and insists that your Uncle Jianfei can't help him, so your Uncle Jianfei just stands at a distance and waits for him.
But Uncle Jianfei waited and waited, but no one came. He called out a few times but didn't hear Dongyang respond. So he went up to check and found that he couldn't find Dongyang anywhere.
Your Uncle Jianfei just came over to call your dad to go find someone. Originally, your dad wanted to wake you up to help with the divination, but your Uncle Jianfei saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he didn't let your dad wake you.
I thought that with such a big incident, your Aunt Xiulan must be very worried, so I was going to go over and see if I could help. I didn't expect to wake you up.
"Come on, Mommy will carry you over to have a look."
As Shen Yuzhen spoke, she bent down and picked up Ningbao, who was dressed neatly. However, the chubby Ningbao was quite heavy, and Shen Yuzhen almost dropped Ningbao from her arms.
"Yuzhen, how are you? Did you hurt your back?"
Shen Junshan, who had just gotten up and was about to go help look for someone, happened to walk over. He took Ning Bao from her and helped Shen Yuzhen steady.
"Don't you know how much your chubby little girl weighs? Aren't you careful enough?"
"Uncle, are you saying Ningbao is fat?" Ningbao looked at Shen Junshan seriously.
When questioned, Shen Junshan paused for a moment and then said something against his will.
"Hehe, our Ningbao is the most well-behaved and adorable."
Ning Bao: "…………"
When Ning Bao and the others arrived, the entire village chief's family got up, even the youngest, Lin Jiayu, sat up.
The village chief saw Ning Bao and quickly came over to greet her.
"Child, why are you up? You're still young and should be sleeping. Let your father and Uncle Jianfei handle the search."
