Chapter 507 Fish Caught in the Net
Old Yang has only one son, Yang Dazhu. Yang Dazhu accidentally injured his reproductive organs a few years ago, so he only has one daughter, Hehua, in this life. Therefore, Hehua is the lifeblood of the Yang family. Old Yang is very indulgent towards her, and has raised her to have a spoiled temper.
If he dealt with the person by force, who knows what this little girl would do.
Lu Yanxiu suggested, "Why don't you let Grandpa Yang take my sister and me to the mountains? We can come back after this storm has passed."
He was very sweet-talking and always called Old Yang "Grandpa Yang". He also helped with housework inside and outside the Yang family on weekdays, as if he was raising a husband.
Old Yang gradually relaxed his vigilance towards him and became more and more satisfied with his grandson-in-law.
He is handsome, and his great-grandson may inherit his good looks in the future.
Lu Yanxiu's proposal made him waver. If there was really no other way, this was the only option.
Lu Yanxiu began to secretly calculate the chances of him and his sister getting rid of Old Yang on the mountain and then escaping.
This is very risky. If he fails, all the trust and goodwill he has accumulated over this period of time will be wiped out. He and his sister will be kept under strict supervision, and his sister may be sold immediately.
So he gave up the plan for the time being.
But he still wanted to go up the mountain.
By going up the mountain a few more times, he will be able to better understand the route of the mountain and make full preparations for escaping with his sister in the future.
But unexpectedly, before they could get up the mountain, the wind direction in the city changed.
The authorities withdrew the search, saying that the traffickers had been caught and the child had been found.
The Yang family was delighted, but also a little bit unbelievable.
After some discussion, Yang Dazhu was allowed to go into the city to take a look.
Another guess arose in Lu Yanxiu's mind, but he didn't dare to hold too much hope.
It is never as good to rely on yourself as on others.
He still had to find a way to leave here on his own.
The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker and darker. Yang Dazhu finally came back.
The sugar figures in his hands melted and his face was covered in sweat.
Liao rushed over and asked, "How is it? What's the situation in the city?"
Yang Dazhu wiped his face with his hand before saying, "Martial law has been lifted. The notice says the traffickers have been apprehended and the child has been found. We're safe now."
As for what the vendor said at the back, Yang Dazhu did not mention it.
Along the way, he has gradually adjusted from his initial nervousness.
The government has already posted a notice, so what the vendor said doesn't mean anything.
After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved instantly.
Hehua snatched the candy figure from his hand and began to eat it happily.
"I told you it would be fine, you're making such a fuss."
She almost killed her brother Yan Xiu. If she had really killed him, where would they find someone to compensate her?
Yang Dazhu and Liao relaxed, but Old Yang continued to smoke his pipe, with doubts still lingering in his cloudy eyes.
Lu Xingchen's eyes, originally full of expectation, dimmed little by little.
Lu Yanxiu lowered his eyelids slightly, hiding all the emotions in his heart.
That night, a few dog barks broke the tranquility of the mountain village.
The barking of the dogs woke up the villagers, but before they could get up to check, the barking stopped and the whole village fell asleep again.
Old Yang suddenly sat up from the bed. He tilted his ear to listen to the noise outside, but only heard the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Is he overthinking it?
But for some reason, he felt an unprecedented sense of uneasiness and crisis in his heart at this moment.
He couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up immediately and woke up his son and daughter-in-law.
"Go get those two brats and get up the mountain now!"
Yang Dazhu and Liao were still sleepy and had no idea what was happening.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Are you sleepwalking?"
Old Yang raised his hand and knocked Yang Dazhu on the head, "Stop talking nonsense, get up quickly, it will be too late if you are late."
Yang Dazhu became a little more sober, but still felt that Old Yang was making a big deal out of nothing.
"Dad, what are you afraid of? I've seen it with my own eyes. The wanted warrants issued by the government have been torn up, and martial law has been lifted. No one can find us here."
Old Yang refused to question it. "If you're really alright, just come back. We'll go up the mountain first to avoid the spotlight. You should come with us, too. You and I look alike, and if soldiers come here, they'll probably get suspicious. Leave Hehua and your wife at home. If they come, tell them we went hunting in the mountains."
Yang Dazhu was sleepy and very reluctant, but he had to obey because of his father's tyranny.
Lu Yanxiu had woken up long ago.
He carefully woke Lu Xingchen up and told her not to cry and to follow him. Although Lu Xingchen didn't understand why, she nodded obediently.
The village was very dark at night, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The only light was the dim moonlight in the sky.
Yang Dazhu wanted to light a torch, but Old Yang wouldn't let him. They didn't take the main road, but the small road at the back.
The sound of dogs barking could be heard again in the village.
Lu Xingchen was held by Lu Yanxiu, with his head buried in his arms, not daring to look up.
Finally they left the village and reached the foot of the mountain, where Old Yang lit the torch.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on. Even though they were from the same village, they couldn't find their way without torches.
Yang Dazhu yawned loudly, still complaining, "Dad, it's wet and cold up there, and there are mosquitoes and snakes. How can we live here? I told you it's okay, you're making a fuss."
Old Yang cursed angrily, "Better safe than sorry. If it weren't for that caution, your father would have been in trouble years ago. Stop talking nonsense, kid."
Yang Dazhu didn't dare to make any more comments.
He unbuckled his belt and said, "I'm going to pee."
Old Yang ignored him and continued walking forward.
Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen, brother and sister, walked in front, both to clear the way and to keep an eye on them to prevent them from running away.
But he guessed that they would not dare to run. It was so desolate and dark in this remote place. If they dared to run, they would be seeking their own death.
The three of them walked for a short distance, but still saw no sign of Yang Dazhu catching up.
Old Yang was immediately annoyed. "It's true that lazy people poop a lot. Dazhu, are you ready? Come on, hurry up."
There was no response from behind, only the caws of a few crows.
Old Yang frowned and couldn't help looking back, only to see darkness behind him and the shadows of the trees moving slightly.
Old Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he shouted twice in succession, but still no one answered. His hair stood on end.
He immediately drew his knife, put it on Lu Yanxiu's neck, and shouted angrily.
"You, go ahead."
With a knife against his neck, Lu Yanxiu walked back in the direction he came from, looking for Yang Dazhui.
I walked around the corner and finally saw a familiar figure.
When Old Yang saw Yang Dazhu standing there with his back to him, he immediately became angry.
"Are you deaf? You didn't even respond when I called you. Go away, don't waste time!"
Old Yang reached out to pull him, and with this pull, the figure fell down limply. Ge Xubai's face appeared and he gave Old Yang a sinister smile.
"Get it!"
