The person was found around 5 p.m. The children huddled behind a big tree, too scared to move. They only dared to speak when they heard adults calling them, and were then taken into the arms of their family members who rushed over.
Lu Yang only felt real when he pulled her into his arms, feeling like he had been dreaming all day. An An was clutching his clothes and crying miserably.
"dad……"
Sui Sui and Zhuang Zhuang also rushed into their father's arms, hugging his neck and crying loudly. The adults' hands were still trembling, but they silently hugged them even tighter.
As soon as He Zhangcheng found his daughter, he immediately pulled her into his arms. Xiaoting initially pouted and tried to hold back her tears, but when she heard her friend crying next to her, she couldn't hold back anymore and tightly grabbed her father's clothes on his shoulder.
"Woo woo woo"
He Zhangcheng felt as if a small knife was cutting into his heart, a fine, dense pain spreading through him. He pressed her pale hand, took a deep breath, and said, "It's alright now."
The little one cried in his arms, and he felt as if the knife in his heart was cutting even deeper.
An'an sobbed uncontrollably, her lips trembling. Lu Yang picked her up and carried her to the side, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."
The three fathers breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and the others also sighed. Fortunately, the person had finally been found, and they quickly notified everyone.
Song Qing and the others lagged behind. When they caught up, the children's crying subsided. Lu Yang hugged them tightly, exchanged a glance with his wife, and their eyes were filled with the joy of finding what they had lost.
Zhao Qin's two children clung to their father's neck, burrowing into his arms in fright. If she hadn't been steady, she would have been knocked over by the two children. When they realized their mother was coming, the four children's cries, which had finally subsided, started up again.
"Mother"
One after another, they rushed into their mother's arms. An'an buried her face in Song Qing's neck, covering it with snot and tears.
Song Qing took a deep breath, her eyes red-rimmed, and gently patted her back, saying, "It's alright now."
After searching for several hours, the parents were barely hanging on, not daring to imagine what the children might encounter in the mountains, only thinking about finding them as soon as possible.
As she continued searching, Song Qing grew increasingly anxious, especially as darkness approached and her head began to throb with pain.
Upon hearing that the person had been found, Ye Man's energy, which she had been holding up after walking so many mountain paths, suddenly collapsed. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Song Qing, who was next to her, quickly caught her, and the two hugged each other and cried for a while before rushing over.
The men stood up and watched their wives and children hugging and crying, then turned their heads slightly to look at Lin Zi.
"We finally found them before dark."
Director Zhang sighed and waved for the others to go down the mountain. Fortunately, they had found the person.
Lu Yang quickly came over to thank Director Zhang. With so many people coming out to help today, Director Zhang waved his hand and said, "They're probably all terrified. Let's take them home first."
Aunt Tian also arrived with her people. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the children were safe. Lu Yang apologized to the villagers who had come to help. After finally getting everyone to leave, An'an and the other children were still hugging their mothers and sobbing.
Lu Yang and He Zhangcheng exchanged a glance. After the initial joy of surviving the ordeal, the next thing that came to mind was settling scores. This time, they were determined to teach them a lesson.
Everyone was terrified. Lu Yang didn't even dare to think about what these parents would do if something really happened to them.
The children were already tired and sleepy, and after crying so much, they had no energy left. He Zhangcheng reached out to his daughter, "Daddy will carry you downstairs."
Xiaoting lifted her head from her mother's arms, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly reached out her hand. He Zhangcheng immediately pulled her into his arms, and the group went down the mountain.
