Chapter 34 Found it!

Su Rouer fell ill.

She developed a high fever and was unconscious. The fever did not subside for two or three hours. Yu Sanbao went to see a doctor overnight.

After a night of torment like this, Yu Sanbao only rested for an hour and closed his eyes a little before rushing back to the county.

He used to know a lot of people from all walks of life, and although he was cheated by others in the end, he still had some friendship with them.

If Brother Ju was really kidnapped, maybe we could find some clues.

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng were originally planning to discuss returning to her parents' home, but that was put on hold for now.

A child was lost at home. Even though the child was not their biological child, they were elders after all. How could they have the mood to go back to their parents' home to visit their relatives?

In addition, before Yu Sanbao went to the county, he specifically asked them to look after Su Rouer who had a high fever and was unconscious, so Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng could not leave.

All the adult male members of the Yu family went to other villages to look for him, for fear that Ju Ge'er might get lost and wander into another village.

Only Huai Ge'er and his friends are left at home.

Huai'er couldn't sit still, so he discussed with his three younger brothers and decided to go to Langshen Mountain again today.

Even though the villagers helped to search for most of the night, it was a dark night after all, and relying solely on the light of torches, they might have missed some clues.

The three younger brothers responded in unison. A little head with two chirping ears popped out from the side, with hope written all over his face: "Take Xingxing with you. Xingxing also wants to go find Ju Ge'er!"

Gui Ge'er immediately said, "No, no, if grandma finds out, she'll beat me up again!"

Earlier, at the Beimanggou Sun-drying Ground, because Gui Ge'er brought Xing Xing in front of people, Mrs. Wei spanked Gui Ge'er on the butt!

Gui Ge'er cried for a long time.

As soon as Xingxing said that they wanted to go into the mountains, Guiger's first reaction was that for the sake of protecting his butt, he must not take Xingxing to a dangerous place!

Xingxing looked at Guiger pitifully.

How could Gui Ge'er bear it!

Huai rubbed Gui'er's hair fiercely and said, "It's okay. Grandma didn't say anything when we took Xingxing into the mountains last time. Let's take good care of our sister. Grandma won't say anything."

When Gui Geer heard his elder brother say this, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay!"

The worst that can happen is that I’ll be beaten by grandma again!

Xingxing cheered and promised loudly: "Xingxing won't cause any trouble for the brothers!"

Before setting off, Huai Ge'er took another straw hat and covered Xingxing's head with it.

Huai and Bai each took a sickle and told Liu and Gui to take Xingxing and follow behind them.

The group of five entered Langshen Mountain again.

Huai Ge'er was very strong and had a loud voice, and he kept calling Ju Ge'er all the way.

The other little ones also called out Orange Brother's name from time to time.

Xing Xing tensed her whole body and shouted Ju Ge'er's name loudly.

However, apart from the startled birds, there was no other movement.

The five of them kept searching until almost noon. The sun was shining directly and scorchingly. Fortunately, there were shrubs and big trees in the forest that provided some shade, so it was not too hot.

But climbing a mountain is not an easy job. Xingxing was so tired that she was panting. She didn't want to cause trouble to her brothers at this time, so she insisted on walking by herself. Liu Ge'er found a branch for her to use as a crutch.

Even so, Xingxing was very tired. She stuck out her little tongue and panted like a puppy.

Huai Ge'er took a look and said, "Let's go to the stream and rest for a while."

This proposal received unanimous support from everyone.

The five brothers and sisters supported each other and walked for a while until they reached the stream.

This is the upper reaches of the stream at the foot of the mountain. The water is clear, sparkling in the sunlight, which is very beautiful.

Children from the mountains never had too many taboos, and several of them just scooped water with their hands and drank it.

The cool stream water flows all the way from the throat to the stomach, it is so refreshing!

After drinking the water, everyone found some rocks to sit on by the stream to rest and enjoy the cool air.

Xingxing saw some very beautiful wild fruits growing in the bushes by the forest not far away. She told Huai'er about it and wanted to go pick the wild fruits.

However, just as she was about to pick the wild fruits, Xingxing suddenly found something very familiar in the bushes.

She struggled to get in and picked out something from the bushes.

"Xingxing!"

The brothers of the Yu family had been watching this side. When they saw Xingxing suddenly hide in the bushes, they could no longer sit still and all ran over here.

Just as he ran over, he saw the little girl coming out from the bushes again, holding something in her hand!

Before Huai could react, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xingxing was safe and sound.

Seven-year-old Gui Ge'er couldn't help but grumble, "Sister! If I scare my brothers like this, they will definitely spank me!"

Liu Ge'er glanced at his brother and said, "Xingxing is not as naughty as you!"

Xing Xing waved the thing in her hand anxiously: "Brother, look at this."

The boys from the Yu family took a closer look and recognized the craftsmanship: "Hey, why does this look like the grasshopper that Fourth Uncle made?"

Xing Xing nodded her head busily: "It was made by Fourth Uncle!... Xing Xing remembers that a few days ago, Fourth Uncle made a grasshopper and asked Third Uncle to give it to Ju Ge'er!"

After Xing Xing said this, the expressions of several young men from the Yu family changed!

Huai Ge'er took Xing Xing out of the bushes and assigned tasks to his brothers: "...Ju Ge'er's grasshopper fell here, and he may be nearby. You guys should quickly look for him!"

When the eldest brother gave the order, the younger brothers all started looking for him separately. Even the youngest Xing Xing called out Ju Ge'er's name in a childish and hoarse voice while searching everywhere.

Soon, they found Ju Ge'er, whose clothes were torn, his face was pale, and he was unconscious, under a small slope with traces of rolling.

"Orange brother!"

Several people were startled. Huai Ge'er quickly tried Ju Ge'er's breath, fortunately there was still a very faint breath!

"Orange brother!"

Huai Ge'er pushed Ju Ge'er anxiously.

Orange brother didn't wake up.

Huai Ge'er picked up Ju Ge'er and said anxiously, "We have to go back and see a doctor!"

Liu Ge'er immediately said, "Big Brother, you take Ju Ge'er back first. Gui Ge'er and Xing Xing walk slowly, so the rest of us will stay behind and walk slowly. I know the way! We can just go back the way we came!"

Huai Ge'er glanced at his younger brother and knew that his younger brother was always smart and it should not be a problem for him to return from Langshen Mountain.

"Okay, second brother, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters." Huai Ge'er instructed Bai Ge'er. Knowing that Ju Ge'er's condition was critical and there was no time to waste, he picked up Ju Ge'er and ran.
