I heard that we have to wait until dawn to send someone, but there won’t be enough time.
Xiumei immediately became anxious, "Second uncle, you know what's going on in the mountains. If we go back tomorrow, I'm afraid we'll have to collect the bodies for Dachun."
Chen Anbang sighed, "Xiumei, since you also know the situation in the mountains, tell me, who dares to go this late at night?"
Xiumei looked at Chen Anbang and said, "Second uncle, when you first fell in love with Chen Xiaobei, I helped you pull the strings."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anbang coughed quickly and said, "Xiumei, that's what you said."
"If it were anyone else, I would have decided not to go, but Dachun is just like my own grandson. How could I not save him?"
After saying that, he glanced outside and said, "Let's go, let's go find Chen Ping and ask him to lead the village protection team into the mountains."
Chen Xiaobei was already in a daze when he suddenly heard a noise outside, including voices, mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps, approaching from far away, and then heading out of the village.
Cui Hongyu was startled when he heard these movements and quickly stood up.
Chen Xiaobei coughed lightly to indicate to the other party that he was awake.
"Husband, what's going on outside? Why is it so chaotic?"
Chen Xiaobei was also confused, "I heard that the noise sounded like that of the village protection team. I'm not sure what happened outside the village."
Before she finished speaking, the second aunt Xiumei's voice came, "It's all up to you, you must find Dachun back."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei was shocked.
What, what happened to Dachun?
He quickly stood up, whispered a few words to Cui Hongyu, put on his clothes and went out.
When he went out the door, he saw two figures behind his house, who vaguely felt like his second aunt Xiumei and Dachun's daughter-in-law Cuihua.
Being far away, Chen Xiaobei coughed a few times to avoid scaring people when he was nearby.
Sure enough, the person on the other side said, "Is this Xiaobei here?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Second Aunt, I heard you shouting just now, what happened?"
Xiumei faltered for a while. She couldn't think of how to tell Chen Xiaobei about this. However, Cuihua next to her ignored it and said eagerly, "Brother Xiaobei, please help find Dachun. Dachun afternoon I went into the mountains and haven’t come back yet.”
When Chen Xiaobei heard about entering the mountain, his heart skipped a beat.
"What? Dachun went into the mountains by himself?"
Cuihua wanted to continue talking, but her second aunt Xiumei grabbed her arm, and then took over the conversation, "Who says it's not true? I ate some of your wild eggs two days ago. Cuihua said they were delicious, but Dachun thought I’m going to go into the mountains to find some more.”
Cuihua said to her heart, why am I going to eat wild eggs? Didn’t you ask him to go into the mountains to find ginseng?
But she couldn't say these words now, and she could only respond vaguely twice to express her support for her mother-in-law, "Yes, yes, Chen Ping went with the village protection team."
Chen Xiaobei looked up at Qingniu Mountain in the distance.
There were one or two lights at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Xiaobei chased after Sayazi without saying a word.
Chen Ping led the village protection team up from the foot of the mountain for more than a mile, and then he couldn't stop.
A person next to me asked cautiously, "Captain, why don't you leave?"
Chen Ping looked around, "Why go away? We'll just wait here until dawn, and then go back and tell Li Xiumei that we didn't find it."
Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
They dispersed in twos and threes and started chatting.
While we were chatting here, a man suddenly stood up and said, "Captain, listen, there is something going on!"
Chen Ping listened carefully, but there was no movement. He couldn't help but scolded, "I said three pounds, why are you so surprised at night?"
Chen Sanjin looked aggrieved and said, "Captain, you heard something really moving."
Chen Ping listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a rustling sound, which startled him.
"Quick copy guy."
At this moment, Chen Xiaobei's voice came from a distance, "Brother Chen Ping, don't be afraid, I am Xiaobei."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but frown, "Why is this kid here?"
Sanjin next to him couldn't help but say, "Captain, he is a neighbor of the Dachun family. Do you think he is here to urge us into the mountain?"
Chen Ping touched his chin and thought for a while, "Okay, just look at my eyes and act. If he wants to go into the mountain, let him go. We won't accompany him to die."
After everyone discussed it for a while, Chen Xiaobei arrived.
Chen Ping looked very enthusiastic, "Brother Xiaobei, why are you here so late at night?"
Chen Xiaobei raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I heard that spring is coming to the mountains, so I followed him in a hurry."
Without any intention of urging, Chen Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He pretended to sigh, "Oh, I don't know what Dachun was thinking. He didn't go home at night just to touch a few wild eggs."
Sanjin next to him couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't think he went to touch the pheasant eggs. He was fascinated by the pheasant essence."
His words made everyone present laugh.
"Okay, okay, Sanjin, don't talk nonsense." Chen Ping looked serious. He stood up, looked around, and sighed heavily.
"You said this huge Qingniu Mountain, where can we find it?"
Everyone naturally understood, and sighed one by one, "Yes, this is a fool, if one of our feet misses the mark, we will..."
"That's right, my grandfather told me that wild beasts in the mountains come out at night to hurt people."
Chen Xiaobei understood. They came here and didn't want to go inside.
"Well, Brother Chen Ping, if you don't go up, you can just shout a few times. At least you can let Brother Da Chun know that we are here."
Just as Chen Ping was about to speak, a middle-aged man on the side said first, "No, no, if the shouting attracts the beasts from the mountains, let's figure out what to do if we rush into the village. There are all old people and children inside."
Wow, this is the first time Chen Xiaobei has seen fear expressed in such a fresh and refined way. He also completely understood one thing, that is, don't expect these people to look for Dachun, they are just here to show off.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei became cruel and gritted his teeth, "Well, Brother Chen Ping, can you lend me a torch? I'll go look for it."
Sanjin was happy, so he passed the torch in his hand forward and said, "Brother Xiaobei, you have to be careful not to damage it. This torch belongs to our village, not to me personally."
I'll make a big dent.
Now that I know it, you still figure it out so clearly with me.
Chen Ping, on the other hand, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Sanjin is all about saving people, so don't worry about it with Brother Xiaobei."
After saying that, he called to others and brought over an unlit torch, "Brother Xiaobei, we are just waiting here. If anything happens, just shout."
Chen Xiaobei took it, thanked him, and immediately walked up the mountain.
Not far away, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
After hearing this, Sanjin and the others at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but cursed, "This bastard is really not afraid of death!"
Chen Ping laughed and said, "Okay, listen carefully. If you find something is wrong, leave quickly!"
