Chapter 273: Blocking Entry into the Mountain

In order to prevent sudden heavy snowfall and rapid drop in temperature, Old Man Yu, Yu Daniu and Yu Erhu all brought straw raincoats and hats.

Yu Siyang was responsible for staying at home and looking after the whole family.

He stood at the door with a worried look on his face, watching his father and two brothers walk into the snow-covered mountains.

Just in case, Xing Xing fed Su Rouer another calming pill.

Xing Xing said to Su Rou'er worriedly, "Auntie, you have to take care of yourself. You have a baby in your belly."

Su Rouer's eyes were red and swollen, and she reluctantly curled her lips to Xingxing: "...Xingxing, don't worry, with the pills you gave me, Third Aunt feels much better."

Xing Xing patted Su Rouer's arm like a little adult and said soothingly, "Don't worry, little auntie. Third Uncle will be fine."

Xingxing's tone was quite serious.

Su Rouer was stunned, thinking of the blessings that Xingxing had brought to the family in the past two years.

When Huai'er got into trouble, everyone in the family was extremely worried. But didn't Xingxing say with certainty that Huai'er would be fine?

Su Rouer's heart, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed a little, and the fatigue from not getting enough rest came over her body. She looked a little tired.

Although Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng were also worried about whether their men would encounter any danger when going into the mountains at this time, they could not care about anything else at the moment and hurriedly helped Su Rouer back to the house to rest.

The whole family left in a hurry, and no one noticed. Shuanglian quietly went out through the gate and quickly followed the direction in which the men of the Yu family left.

In the third room, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng helped Su Rouer sit down. Mrs. Wei also sat beside them. Seeing that Su Rouer had been leaning on the couch for a while and looked much better, she felt relieved: "... I'll ask Shuangyun to make you some chicken soup later to help you recover."

Su Rouer recovered from her fatigue and felt much better. She smiled and said, "...Mom, our Xingxing said that Third Brother is definitely fine. I just let go of the tension. I'm fine."

When they heard Xingxing say this, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng also smiled a little, and said firmly: "Since Xingxing said so, then the third brother must be fine!"

"Yes, yes, yes. When I gave birth to Bangger, the situation was also terrible. It was Xingxing who said that Bangger and I would be fine... Look, Bangger is so heavy now that he can eat three eggs and a bowl of porridge for one meal!"

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng were talking in amusement, and although Ah Wu had never experienced such things, he still listened to them with great interest.

The smile on Su Rouer's face became more and more genuine.

Mrs. Wei was very satisfied with the harmonious and beautiful scene between her daughter-in-law and her husband. She smiled and called the maid from the third room, "...Shuanglian, pour some hot water."

After the words were spoken, no one responded for a long time.

"Shuanglian?" Mrs. Wei was a little surprised, and called out in a slightly higher voice.

Still no response.

Shuangyun was passing by and heard the voice of Wei Pozi. Seeing Shuanglian didn't move, she frowned slightly and came to the third room. She said to Wei Pozi: "...Madam, Shuanglian seems to be away for the time being. If you have anything, tell me the same thing."

Mrs. Wei didn't really want Shuanglian to do the job of pouring hot water, and she didn't take it seriously. She just frowned and said, "The masters are not in the room, and the pregnant lady is here. Where did Shuanglian go?"

Mrs. Wei just complained casually and told Shuangyun to pour some hot water.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Bai Xiaofeng had just given birth to Bangger less than a year ago, so she was naturally very sensitive to some things.

There was a pregnant woman in the house who needed care, so why did the maid disappear without a trace?

Bai Xiaofeng frowned, but couldn't say anything in front of Su Rouer. After coming out of the third room, she asked Shuang Qing, the maid from the second room, to find Shuang Lian, the maid from the third room, to see where Shuang Lian had gone.

As a result, Shuangqing searched the whole house and even went to the village to look for Shuanglian, but still couldn't find her.

Shuang Qing came back and told Bai Xiaofeng about the matter. Bai Xiaofeng immediately realized that this matter was not simple. She picked up Bangger and went to Wei Po's room to tell her about it.

Mrs. Wei's brows wrinkled.

How could such a good person suddenly disappear?

"...It's so cold, where can a little girl like her go?" Mrs. Wei frowned.

Rather than worrying about the fact that Shuanglian, a maid, ran away without the master's consent, Mrs. Wei was more worried about Shuanglian's own safety.

Bai Xiaofeng thought more about it, but she didn't say anything else to spoil the fun. She just agreed, "Yes, this girl is really worrying. Everyone in the family has gone to look for my third brother. We can't spare some people to look for her, right?"

Mrs. Wei was a little angry. She said that she didn't need to worry about her, but she had to teach her a lesson even if she got frozen outside.

But in reality, Mrs. Wei was still very uneasy. She gritted her teeth and went to get her straw raincoat and hat: "…I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go out for a walk."

Bai Xiaofeng was hesitant to speak, not knowing how to persuade her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wei insisted on going out.

"grandmother!"

But before Mrs. Wei had taken a few steps out of the door, she heard Xingxing calling her from behind.

When Mrs. Wei looked back, she saw Xingxing's short legs had already crossed the threshold of the Yu family's gate and was running towards her.

"Grandma, where are you going? I'll go with you." Xingxing spoke quickly.

Mrs. Wei wanted to look for someone in the area near the foot of the mountain, and she might even have to walk deeper into the mountain, so she wouldn't be able to take Xingxing with her.

She firmly rejected Xing Xing: "No, my dear, you stay at home and play with Bang Ge'er. I'll just walk around the neighborhood."

Xing Xing refused to let Grandma Wei go into the mountain no matter what, and even grabbed Grandma Wei's clothes, her face turning pale: "... Grandma, I'm not feeling well, you don't have to go."

No matter how worried you are about Shuanglian, she is no match for Xingxing.

Mrs. Wei immediately turned around and picked up Xing Xing: "My dear grandson, what's wrong with you?"

Xing Xing put her arms around Grandma Wei's neck. Her face turned pale. She shook her head gently and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I don't know what happened. I just felt very upset and didn't want you to leave."

Mrs. Wei's expression changed slightly. She turned around and went back to Yu's house with Xingxing in her arms, and no longer mentioned going to the mountains.

After a while, someone suddenly ran in the village: "Something happened, something happened!"

It turned out that a small-scale avalanche had occurred at the foot of the mountain, burying people inside. The villagers who witnessed the scene were now calling for people to dig the people out!

When Mrs. Wei heard the news, her face changed.

Bai Xiaofeng was so frightened that she almost knocked over the cup beside her.
