Chapter 203 He'll be alright.
"They're all those greedy bastards!"
The village head stomped his feet in anger and anxiety.
"Xiao Zhang already said that there are some places we can't go to. Those guys think they're dragons just because they've been hunting for a few days. They actually dared to sneak off to dangerous places!"
Two people ran back and said they had encountered that blind giant python!
Xiao Zhang and Er Zhu went to rescue them, leaving the rest to wait where they were.
Those damned guys only came back today saying they didn't see anyone and have already spent the night in the mountains!
Xu Rui's eyes turned cold, revealing undisguised anxiety and worry, and he exuded a natural sharpness.
Those who had been digging and turning over stones all stopped their lazy laughter and, almost instinctively, put down their hoes and gathered together in an orderly fashion.
All eyes were on Xu Rui, displaying an air of readiness and anticipation.
It completely changed its momentum.
Mu Daye was slightly startled.
These people didn't look like ordinary government officials at all; they looked more like... well-trained soldiers.
"Follow me, all of you, to find it!"
"Young Master, we'll go, you stay here." Gu Chengzhou quickly waved to the others.
The group immediately split into two lines, their eyes fearless and sharp.
"Together." Xu Rui's voice was firm and left no room for argument.
During those nights he slept with Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang told him many ways to avoid danger when encountering wild beasts in the jungle, methods that he had figured out himself over the years.
Based on his usual methods, Xu Rui felt that he should be able to find the person more quickly.
"yes."
Gu Chengzhou lowered his head and said nothing more.
"Make sure to reassure the families of those people," Xu Rui ordered the village head.
Then he nodded to Lu Qingqing and said softly, "I'll be back soon."
"Wait, you're going like this? At least bring some weapons!"
Lu Qingqing saw that they were all there to work, dressed in peasant clothes, carrying nothing, were they going into the mountains empty-handed to get themselves killed?
"I'll take it with me. They all have knives on their waists, and I'll carry a dagger too. Don't worry."
The word "rest assured" seems exceptionally light and slow, like floating cotton wool.
"Oh, that's good."
Lu Qingqing opened her handbag, inside which were her sleeve needles, which she usually kept in her bag when she didn't need them.
"You gave me a hidden blade, and I'll lend you a hidden needle. This is an improvement by my elder brother; it's very convenient."
Lu Qingqing gave him the exquisite sleeve needles and pointed them out to him: "There are fifty needles inside. These twenty are non-poisonous, these ten are sedatives, these ten are ordinary poisons with antidotes, and these ten are highly poisonous, which will kill instantly upon contact with blood, and there is no antidote."
If you encounter a giant beast, just shoot a few; you can kill them!
This pair of sleeve pins is truly exquisite, with all the little mechanisms hidden inside. If you look closely, you might mistake it for an ordinary wrist guard.
Xu Rui exclaimed in surprise, "You mean this is... oh, it's an improvement made by the Lu Feng brothers?"
"Yes, my older brother is really good. He even modified a hidden dart for my younger brother, which has a range five meters longer than the one you gave me!"
Lu Feng, who looks honest and doesn't talk much, is actually so amazing!
Xu Rui was truly impressed.
The hidden sword he gave him was forged by the most skilled general in the army, yet Lu Feng, a carpenter who had never learned any strange techniques, immediately deciphered it and improved upon it.
What else could this be but a prodigy!
Xu Rui was truly excited.
But now is not a good time to ask. He must discuss this properly with Lu Feng when he returns.
"I'm leaving now."
“Young Master Xu, I would also like to go.” Mu Daye stepped forward and volunteered.
"I've been down a cliff dozens of meters high to save people, so I have some experience that might be of help."
"Okay, thank you!"
Mu Daye glanced at Gu Chengzhou, his eyes darkening.
This guy just went to see Liu'er again!
After they left, Lu Qingqing also took Qiaoxiu and Liu'er down the mountain.
She was going to see Li Meng.
Many people came to Xiao Zhang's house, and two of them knelt in the yard.
It was the two of them who escaped from the jaws of the snake and delivered the message.
Three people have not returned. Including Xiao Zhang and Liu Erzhu who went to rescue people, a total of five people are still missing in the mountains.
The two had been beaten up by the family members of the missing members, leaving them bruised, swollen, crying, and full of regret.
The family members cried and cursed, telling them to get out.
Li Meng was also sitting in the courtyard, her face deathly pale.
She seemed to have a headache from the noise, her eyes full of annoyance, and she said a few words to tell the two of them to get lost.
But the two of them just remained kneeling and wouldn't get up.
Old Crow Li and his two sons went up the mountain to look for someone, but the eldest son and his wife, whom he hadn't spoken to in a long time, came back.
The two seemed close and worried as they stayed by Li Meng's side, comforting her.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhang will be fine."
“If Xiao Zhang can’t come back today, your sister-in-law will move in with you.”
"Don't be afraid, eat well, otherwise Xiao Zhang will be heartbroken when he comes back."
The two people were talking, but their eyes kept glancing into the house.
Everything in Xiao Zhang's house is of the best quality.
The quilt was an expensive cotton quilt.
The table is made of thick, carved wood.
Li Meng's clothes were all brand new, one outfit after another.
There was also jewelry; Xiao Zhang gave Li Meng quite a lot, all of it silver.
The two sisters-in-law's eyes gleamed with greed; even a fool would know what they were plotting.
Li Meng said, "Get lost."
"Xiaomeng, don't be like this. You need someone by your side now. We're still family."
"Actually, you don't need to be afraid."
The second sister-in-law half-covered her mouth, thinking she was doing everything for her: "Xiao Zhang has no parents, but you have this house and money, so you won't have to worry about making a living in the future."
Li Meng suddenly stood up and slapped the second son's wife across the face.
"Lu, get out of here! Get out!"
The second son's wife was stunned by the slap.
My sister-in-law, who used to be so downcast, actually hit her, and with such force!
"Li Meng! Are you crazy?!"
"Yes! You cursed my man, so I'll fight you all! I'll beat you to death!"
Li Meng picked up a carrying pole from the yard and started whipping the two people kneeling on the ground.
"Get out! All of you get out! If you feel really guilty, go find someone. If you can't, then die!"
Is kneeling here insincerely and shedding a few drops of cat pee really an apology?
You're all wicked people, your hearts are black! Don't dirty my floor, get out!
The two sisters-in-law jumped up and down and ran out, forcing the two kneeling men to leave as well.
Lu Qingqing came in, stopped the crazed Li Meng, and made the others leave.
Li Meng swayed, her lips were cracked, and her face was deathly pale.
Holding Lu Qingqing's hand, tears finally fell.
“Qingqing, yesterday was the last day. He said he would hunt for one last day and then go to work in the workshop.”
"He has already earned them some food. Why are people so greedy? They want more even though they are incompetent!"
“He will come back,” Lu Qingqing said confidently.
"Yes, he will come back, of course he will come back."
I was just worried he would get hurt, and he only had one day's worth of food with him, so he must be very hungry.
"Yes, I need to make him something warm beforehand, like scallion pancakes, his favorite..."
