Chapter 194 Anxious
Jiang Hua also joined in, equally clueless: "Where did you get wild fruits at this time of year? What did you do to my elder brother?"
Liang Yuanwang sneered: "Since you said there are no wild fruits, why did Sister He and her son go to pick wild fruits?"
Everyone felt something was amiss, but they hadn't reacted yet and were just confused.
Jiang Hua was choked by Liang Yuanwang and quickly changed his words: "I was just talking nonsense. I wanted to ask, where is my eldest brother's body?"
Liang Yuanwang threw the meat into Jiang Hua's arms.
"He Chi's body was bitten beyond recognition. I didn't want to scare everyone, so I buried it on the spot. We must eat this meat well. We can't let He Chi die in vain."
Having eaten so much food at someone else's expense, he subconsciously felt that the meat in his hand was also obtained by Liang Yuanwang at someone else's expense, and he almost threw the meat away.
Fortunately, I reacted in time and caught it immediately.
At this point, some villagers have slowly started to react, but no one is thinking about eating human flesh.
"Jiang Hua, where did Sister He and her son go? Tell me now!"
Facing the crowd's questioning, Jiang Hua also answered on the spot: "In fact, He Saozi and her son are already dead. The reason why I said they went out to look for wild fruits is that I couldn't bear to tell everyone."
"What?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Jiang Hua repeated Liang Yuanwang's words and looked at Liang Yuanwang again: "Brother Liang has encountered the same situation, so he should understand our feelings."
Jiang Hua almost threw the meat away. Liang Yuan watched carefully and sneered, but his face remained expressionless.
"Of course I understand, but I feel sorry for Sister He and her son." He added, "Let's eat and leave quickly. There are so many wild animals in this place. The longer we stay, the more dangerous it will be."
In just one day, three people lost their lives "at the mouth of the beast". The crowd began to feel uneasy and wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. Some even complained in a low voice and began to regret taking this path.
Liang Yuanwang heard it all clearly, but said nothing.
He Chi had been keeping an eye on them for a long time. Even if it wasn't this way, there would be other ways. He didn't blame them for not knowing people well, but only blamed He Chi and his three companions for being too good at manipulating people's hearts.
This meal was prepared by Jiang Hua and Zhang Ji together. From the beginning to the end, neither of them dared to even look at the meat, and even when it was cooked, they did not pick up their chopsticks easily.
Liang Yuanwang came over enthusiastically and tried to persuade them one by one.
"Jiang Hua, it's not too late. You are the backbone of the team. You have to eat well so that you have the strength to protect everyone."
"Zhang Ji, you should eat more. You are too thin. You can't let yourself suffer."
"You two should eat more. He Chi risked his life to buy this meat. If you don't eat it, you'll be wasting his kindness."
With every word Liang Yuanwang spoke, the two men's faces grew darker, and they wished they could kill Liang Yuanwang on the spot.
Finally, Jiang Hua suddenly rose up, and Liang Yuanwang was planning to take advantage of the situation to deal with the two of them, but who knew that at the critical moment, he was actually stopped by Zhang Ji.
"Second brother, our eldest brother is gone. We can't let his hard work go to waste." Zhang Ji took a deep breath and took the first bite of meat.
Jiang Hua's face darkened and he shook off Zhang Ji's hand without saying a word.
Zhang Ji was not angry, and turned to Liang Yuanwang: "The second brother can't accept the news of the death of the eldest brother for a while, Brother Liang, don't be angry."
Liang Yuanwang was of course not angry: "I understand if you are not angry. You should persuade Jiang Hua to be more open-minded."
Zhang Ji nodded repeatedly.
Liang Yuanwang warned Shen Yuefu, and Zhao Da also kept a close eye on the two of them, fearing that something might happen.
The weather has turned cold. It has been warm for a few days, but it is especially cold tonight.
There was no other choice but to build a bonfire and sit around it to keep warm.
Someone has to keep watch. For everyone's safety, Liang Yuanwang specially arranged Jiang Hua and Zhang Ji to keep watch.
The two men were clearly dissatisfied with Liang Yuanwang, but they did not object. They immediately asked for weapons and actually walked around.
However, Liang Yuanwang was still worried, so he found Zhao Er and asked him to keep an eye on the two of them all the time.
Shen Yuefu's heart was beating fast, as if it was pressing down on her chest: "I feel uneasy today, and I always feel like something is going to happen."
"Even if I risk my life, I will protect you and your child."
Liang Yuanwang had just finished speaking when Doctor Zhou over there hurriedly called out.
"Zhao Da, thank you for your help." Liang Yuanwang asked Zhao Da again before going over.
After finishing his work, Doctor Zhou was looking after two or three villagers who were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, with a worried look on his face.
"These people have eaten something wrong with their stomachs. They have been vomiting and having diarrhea since just now. I don't have any medicine to treat this. So late at night, I can only trouble you to come with me and find some medicine."
Liang Yuanwang did not refuse. He took the weapon for self-defense and left with Doctor Zhou.
However, when he came back, everything was messed up.
"My dear girl, where is my dear girl?" Shen Yuefu asked anxiously in the crowd.
These shouts were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves.
The villagers got up and helped to search, but in this vast forest, a child disappeared without a trace.
Liang Yuanwang's face changed suddenly. He knew that being anxious was of no use, so he quickly grabbed the anxious Shen Yuefu.
"Wife, wife, please think carefully about what happened."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll think about it carefully." Shen Yuefu forced herself to calm down.
"Just now, I felt a little dizzy, and thought about holding my daughter to sleep. I half-heartedly felt my hands were empty, and when I opened my eyes, our good girl was gone."
Zhu Lihua beside her added: "It's strange to say, Xiaoya and I got sleepy very quickly today."
Looking over there, I saw several children sleeping soundly, with no sign of waking up.
Liang Yuanwang had an idea in his mind, most likely it was Jiang Hua and Zhang Ji who were behind this.
He asked Doctor Zhou to examine everyone and found that everyone had been more or less drugged.
After all calculations, I never expected that Jiang Hua and Zhang Ji would drug everyone.
Shen Yuefu couldn't stop crying and grabbed Liang Yuanwang's hand: "My dear girl, nothing will happen to you, right?"
Jiang Hua and Zhang Jiqiong were extremely vicious. Liang Yuanwang was not sure how they would deal with Liang Huanxue, but he still comforted her: "It will be fine. Our good girl is a lucky star. She will definitely come back to us safely."
Liang Yuanwang said this so loudly that he himself did not have the confidence to do so.
My dear girl, where are you? He kept repeating to himself, anxiously.
At this moment, he seemed to hear his daughter's faint voice.
"Dad, I'm at the creek in the south."
Liang Yuanwang was shocked. Without saying anything more, he led his men and ran towards the creek.
"Jiang Hua, Zhang Ji, if you dare to touch a hair of my daughter, I will make you live a life worse than death!" Liang Yuanwang's tone was firm, like an axe breaking the ice, cold and piercing.
Liang Huanxue was actually awakened by the wind. She shivered with cold and subconsciously turned to her mother's arms, but the breath she smelled was particularly strange.
