Yunling and her group waited for a long time, until it was almost lunchtime, but the person searching for them still hadn't returned.
Wang Xiuxiu paced anxiously in circles, constantly cursing Chen Ergou with the most vicious words she could imagine.
Qin Tiantian looked at her second sister-in-law spinning around in front of her and felt dizzy. She comforted her, "She should be alright, otherwise she would have gone down the mountain long ago. She's probably still looking for Chen Ergou. That bastard must have gone up the mountain to steal food and dragged so many people into this mess."
Qin Tiantian grew increasingly angry, feeling particularly sorry for her father, who was constantly being angered by the team members, yet still had to be the first to step forward when something happened.
She took a deep breath, moved a stool under the eaves of her house, and looked down the mountain.
Wang Xiuxiu squatted down beside her.
Time moves slowly.
Everyone was extremely anxious.
The Zhao family next door is the same; although Zhang Hongxia has separated from her son, she is usually very cold towards him.
But after all, they are a piece of flesh that fell from my body, how could I not worry?
I would occasionally come to the door to take a look.
Then, looking at the mother and her two children eating in the neighboring yard, she cursed, "What a heartless bastard! Her own husband went up the mountain in this heavy rain, and she wasn't worried at all..."
Zhang Lanhua ignored him and continued eating.
What could possibly happen? There's such a large group of people, and Zhao Wen is such a coward. If something happens, he'll definitely hide behind others.
If anything happens to anyone else, he is unlikely to get into trouble.
After finishing his meal in big mouthfuls, Zhao Long said to his mother, who was eating slowly, "...Should I go up the mountain to look for her too?"
After all, he's my own father, so I'm still a little worried.
Zhao Hu, being his brother's biggest follower, immediately chimed in, "We should look for him."
Zhang Lanhua raised her eyebrows and retorted, "Silly son, if you go and they come back, won't they come looking for you on the mountain again?"
She waved her hand and said, "Go, talk to your grandma for a while."
The reputation of being unfilial must not be spread.
Zhao Long nodded, led his younger brother to the front door, called out to his grandmother, but received no response. He rolled his eyes, grabbed his brother who was about to walk back, and squatted down next to his grandmother, looking in the direction of the mountain.
Zhang Hongxia felt much better.
The grandson is sensible and hasn't been corrupted by his daughter-in-law.
Everyone watched with bated breath.
Finally, around 1 p.m., they heard a sound and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunling quickly handed Qin Chuan a dry towel and then told him to go back to his room to change his clothes.
She ladled out a large bowl of brown sugar ginger soup and handed it to him.
Seeing that he had finished drinking, she asked curiously:
"What happened to Chen Ergou? Why is he back so late?"
Qin Chuan said, "I fell into a trap again and can't climb out. The trap is in a rather remote location, and it took me a long time to find it."
Yunling instantly recalled that she had also seen Chen Ergou fall into the trap last time, and it was they who pulled him out together.
It's truly a repeat of the same mistakes.
On the other side, Qin Hai drank a large bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, handed the empty bowl to his wife, and said, "Give me another bowl."
It's both spicy and sweet, and it's really satisfying.
Wang Xiuxiu took the empty bowl and filled it to the brim for him.
Then, noticing that Qin Shan's bowl was also empty, he asked, "Brother, do you still want some?"
Qin Shan stood up and said, "I can do it myself! It's a bit hot."
Qin Hai drank the second bowl of brown sugar ginger soup very slowly. Halfway through, he saw his daughter staring at him expectantly, so he handed it to her and said, "If you think it tastes bad, give it back to me."
Qin Yan responded and ran off with the bowl in her hand.
"We're spoiling her too much," Wang Xiuxiu said disapprovingly.
They don't care about their own father; they only care about his job.
Qin Hai said nonchalantly, "The child is still young. If she still doesn't know any better when she grows up, I'll beat her up."
As the saying goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Wang Xiuxiu was both amused and exasperated, saying, "How can you be like this? Children need to be taught from a young age."
Qin Hai: "Then you teach me! Come to me if you have any questions."
Wang Xiuxiu gave a soft "hmm" and asked about going up the mountain.
Qin Hai recounted the story, then complained, "I don't know how he set up the trap. The location is so remote; I've never been there more than a few times in my life."
"It was really exhausting. We searched all over the mountains and fields for him. We were exhausted. If it weren't for a fellow educated youth who had a good ear and heard his voice, we probably wouldn't have been able to find him for a long time."
"Whose ears are better?" Yunling asked Qin Chuan curiously.
"Jiang Fan."
Yunling asked in surprise, "Did the educated youth come up the mountain with you too?"
Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Someone went to call them, and they came. That's good."
Yunling almost laughed; there were originally five male educated youths at the educated youth settlement.
Sun An was arrested for slacking off on books.
Tian Gang was also injured, and I heard he hasn't recovered yet.
The team did not strongly urge him to work.
After all, it's a matter of lifelong importance.
What if it really breaks down and then blames the team?
So let's take a break!
Rest as long as you want!
It's okay if you don't work; if you don't have enough work points later, you can make up for it with money.
The remaining three male educated youths also avoided trouble and were used to keeping to themselves.
Apart from Ye Qingsong, the person in charge of the educated youth settlement, the other two were selectively ignored by the team members.
Yunling herself was a sent-down youth, so she knows more about it.
"So where is Chen Ergou now?" Yunling asked curiously.
Qin Chuan said, "I went to see a doctor. I was soaked in the rain for so long, and I even fell down the mountain. It was quite serious."
Yunling nodded and then reminded him, "Don't go up the mountain on rainy days in the future, it's really dangerous."
Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, then patted Yun Ling's fluffy head.
He's not alone, so why would he take such a risk?
