Good luck every time

It was getting dark, but the number of people looking for someone did not decrease.

Li Dacheng's wife Chen was really anxious at this moment. She mixed into a group of people and cried and made a fuss about going up the mountain, cursing Li Quanzi.

Li Ruyi stood in the yard and watched.

Several torches lit the way up the mountain, and they didn't return until the beginning of the Xu hour.

Those who came back looked tired and disappointed.

Chen rushed forward, but was tripped by a stone under her feet and fell to the ground with her hair all messed up.

An aunt who was close to Patriarch Li's family quickly ran over and helped the man up.

"Dacheng's wife, don't worry!"

Chen pushed away the person who was supporting her and searched among the people who came back from the mountain.

I looked around but couldn't see her two sons anywhere.

"Where's my son? Where's my son? Have you seen my son?"

Among those who went up the mountain was an old hunter from the village who was very familiar with the situation in the mountains. Looking at Chen’s expectant eyes, he shook his head helplessly.

Chen looked at them in disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible...where is my son?"

Chief Li stepped out from the crowd and thanked the old hunter.

"Yanping, no matter what, Sixth Uncle thanks you! Sixth Uncle wants to ask you, did those children not go into the mountains? Or did they disappear in the mountains?"

When a wild goose passes by, it leaves traces behind. If those three children really went into the mountain, there would be no way that there would be no traces left behind.

Chief Li felt that it was impossible for the old hunter not to see the traces of the child's presence.

The old hunter frowned.

"Uncle Six, I can't say that. I didn't see any traces left by the three children, but it may be that I didn't look carefully. We have searched all the places around the entrance to the mountain, and there are really no traces left."

Patriarch Li's shoulders slumped a little when he heard this.

"Okay... okay, you guys go back! You've worked so hard, and when my family's affairs are settled, Uncle Six will treat you guys to a drink!"

Everyone who went up the mountain felt a little embarrassed.

"No, no, it's my duty!"

"Uncle Six, you are busy!"

"..."

Everyone was exhausted and went home without any greetings.

The remaining people waiting at the foot of the mountain didn't know what to do for a moment.

"This... don't worry, Uncle Six, and sister-in-law too. Li Quanzi is not without ideas. He is very familiar with the surroundings. Maybe the child just fell asleep somewhere because he was too playful!"

"That's right, go home and wait! You can't stay here forever."

Chen had been busy all day since he left home in the morning and was completely exhausted.

She was supported and walked back in a daze. A group of people passed by Li Ruyi.

Someone saw the light, glanced over here, and saw Li Ruyi standing in the yard holding a lamp.

Everyone tacitly ignored her.

Although there were reasons why Li Ruyi left the family, the Li family didn't care.

Their face is much more important than whether the three Li sisters are dead or alive.

However, after walking for a while, someone suddenly said.

"Hey, seeing the second girl from Li Dagui's family reminded me of something! Didn't her brother pass away a while ago? Could it be that there are beggars in our village?"

As the man finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone twisting his thigh hard twice.

He was startled.

But something even more terrifying happened next.

After hearing his words, Chen, who was dazed just now, couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The crowd panicked instantly.

"This is suppressed! Pinch the Ren Zhong."

"I'll come, I'll come..."

"Move aside, move aside."

A rough finger with a fishy smell scratched Chen's philtrum.

After a few breaths, Chen exhaled and slowly regained consciousness.

Patriarch Li looked unhappy.

"It can't be a beggar. There are so many people in the village, how could a beggar take away three people at once?"

When this was mentioned, someone next to me whispered in opposition.

"Then... Li Zhuzi is gone too! In just a few days, four children have died in our village. This... this..."

"You have to keep a close eye on your children from now on. They can't run around these days."

"I think we should go on patrol, otherwise we'll be disturbed even when we sleep at night!"

"What nonsense! These children were obviously not born during the day! Didn't Sanni's husband say that he heard some noise in the room this morning? They must have died during the day!"

"That's right, the two children from Dacheng's family didn't come over last night."

"Did the kids who played with them ask? How come they didn't see anyone?"

"Oh my... Li Quanzi hangs out with Li Shuanzi every day, maybe it was Li Shuanzi who did it."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that Li Zhuzi also played with them, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! When Li Zhuzi passed away, no one knew where Li Shuanzi went."

"Could it be that he knows some beggar? The two children in Dacheng's family are good-looking. If they are really sold, it will be hard to find them."

After hearing this, Chen, who had just woken up, rolled her eyes and was about to pout again.

"Hey, stop talking! Send the person back quickly."

There was another round of people falling to the ground. Chief Li stood to one side of the crowd, silent.

Someone saw him coming and asked him cautiously.

"Sixth Uncle, then, are we still looking for it?"

Patriarch Li's eyes didn't look very good.

"try to find!"

He couldn't miss any opportunity. Whether he ran to the mountains or was really sold out, this period of time was the most critical moment.

The Li family searched the village for another whole night and found quite a few wild duck eggs, but the three children seemed to have disappeared.

Li Shuanzi was also called to the Li family and was interrogated in detail in front of all the elders of the Li family.

There were many things he didn't want to talk about.

What they studied together was not only how to cheat people out of money and how to gamble, but also how to bully others.

Before, he just said that everyone was playing together, and while playing they got hungry, so they went home and came back after having lunch, but those three didn’t come back.

But now he was being threatened repeatedly by a group of people and he couldn't say it at all.

He had no choice but to grill fish for Li Er, who was targeted by them. They all went to catch Li Er, but Li Er ran away. He brought a few brothers to tell them about the beating he had given them.

Since it involves Li Er.

Someone immediately called Li Er and his brothers over.

When he arrived, the old man of the Li family also came.

He and Patriarch Li are of the same generation, but they are two different branches. However, they are also on the Li family tree.

However, because of the issues of food and clan land, he and clan leader Li had an unpleasant argument and ignored each other.

Today, Patriarch Li’s grandson is missing, so he wants to question his grandson, but he definitely won’t agree.

He had eaten enough of the gossip of the day, from Li Ruyi knocking on the door of Patriarch Li's house, to Li Daxing going to Li Ruyi to ask for someone, to the Li family's day-to-day search for the child, he did not miss a single thing.

Naturally, he also heard about what Li Ruyi said about Li Daxing turning the tables.

In his eyes, Patriarch Li has no bottom line.

What if they really turn the tables and Li Ruyi can't afford to offend him, so what if they push his grandson out to be the scapegoat?
