The next day, after breakfast, the villagers packed their bags and were eager to go out.
Worried that business might be booming today, we brought two more aunts along to help!
Li Yan also went to the town today. She calculated the time and thought that her uncle and his companions should have come here by water. She wanted to follow them to the town dock to see if she could get any news from her uncle.
Today, when Chen Dalang and others arrived at the town dock, those who didn't buy anything yesterday came to inquire, thinking that they couldn't go home empty-handed today!
After waiting for about half an hour, the sweet potato stall was already surrounded by people coming to buy.
Li Yan stood aside and watched the busy figures quietly. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it turned out that the ancients also liked to follow the trend and hang out in groups like modern people!
Over there, Lin Feng led a group of people and headed south along the river. They walked very slowly along the way, and stopped from time to time to ask local residents if there were any children rescued from the river.
The journey was supposed to take five or six days, but it took them ten days to reach Songshu County!
Lin Feng has been in a very low mood these days. He is worried about Li Yan's situation all the time and often can't sleep at night!
These days, Monkey watched Lin Feng anxiously searching for someone. He often just ate some dry food with cold water all day long. He ran around every day, and once he met a villager, he would stop to ask about Li Yan's whereabouts!
Seeing Lin Feng becoming increasingly thin and haggard, Monkey became very anxious.
We have arrived in Songshu County today, and no matter what, I have to persuade Brother Feng to stop and rest for a day!
Monkey looked at the crowd gathered at the dock and said to Lin Feng, "Brother Feng, there are so many people over there, we can go and ask if there's any news of Miss Li!"
Lin Feng nodded when he heard that. These past few days, everyone had been following him everywhere, often sleeping outdoors. Today, they arrived in Songshu County. Lin Feng had planned to let everyone rest in the county town while he prepared to ask the surrounding villagers about Li Yan's whereabouts.
Lin Feng and his group headed towards the crowd. As they approached, Li Yan, who was standing nearby, saw the group coming towards them and, without caring about anything else, shouted, "Uncle!" and ran towards Lin Feng!
When Lin Feng heard the voice, he was wondering if he was hallucinating. He looked up and saw a small figure running towards him quickly!
When he looked closely, he found that this person was the one he had been looking for these days!
Lin Feng rushed forward in ecstasy, picked up Li Yan and sobbed, "Bad girl, you made your uncle worry to death!"
Li Yan couldn't help shedding tears while hugging Lin Feng. From the helplessness when she was caught, to her life hanging by a thread after jumping into the river, to the confusion when she was recuperating in Chenjia Village, the moment she saw her uncle, Li Yan's heart finally settled down!
Lin Feng put Li Yan down, looked the little girl over carefully and asked, "Are you injured? Where have you been living these days?"
Li Yan looked at the haggard faces of her uncle and others, and thought that they must have had a very hard time these days trying to find her!
Li Yan pulled her uncle towards the sweet potato stall while answering, "Uncle, I'm fine. Thanks to Granny Zhang from Chenjia Village who picked me up from the riverbank. I've been staying at Granny Zhang's house these days!"
After hearing this, Lin Feng finally felt relieved.
Li Yan pointed at the people busy at the stall and introduced them to Lin Feng, "Those are all villagers from Chenjia Village. I thought my uncle would follow the river to find me, so I followed them here to wait for you!"
Lin Feng pinched Li Yan's nose and praised: "Our Yan'er is such a clever little ghost!"
