The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"Uncle, did you hear anyone talking?"

Qiao Xi asked Xu Yi for confirmation with a look of surprise.

Xu Yi nodded and continued what he was doing: "Yeah, it sounds like it, but it's a bit far away."

As long as there is someone, Qiao Xi doesn't care how far it is.

"Hey! Can the people up there hear me?"

Xu Yi had just tied a loose knot with the strip of cloth in his hand when he heard Qiao Xi shouting loudly above.

"Hey……"

Not hearing a response from the person above, Qiao Xi continued to shout.

Xu Yi felt that her voice was loud enough, so he stood beside her and watched her shout.

……

"Brother Chong, I seem to hear someone shouting."

The back mountain was so big, and Xu Chong was thinking about where to look for someone when he was suddenly pulled by Xu Nan next to him.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Yi was almost pulled down by him, and his tone was a bit fierce.

I should have known this kid wouldn't have been called. He only has brute force, but you can't rely on him for anything else.

Xu Nan only wanted to find Xu Yi and didn't care whether he was angry or not.

He pointed to his ear and said, "Brother Chong, listen carefully, is there someone shouting?"

Hearing this, Xu Chong frowned, afraid of being pulled again, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully as he wished.

"Yes, but it sounds like it's far away. Could it be someone shouting down the mountain?"

Xu Nan shook his head: "No, it's the sound from the mountains."

Xu Chong glared at him: "Are you so sure?"

"Well, Brother Chong, haven't you noticed that since we entered the mountain until now, we haven't heard any sound from down there?"

After hearing him mention this, Xu Chong thought about it carefully and realized that he indeed did not hear any sound from the bottom of the mountain.

He had a look of joy on his face and patted Xu Nan on the shoulder: "That's great, Brother Nan, you finally used your brain."

As he said this, he pricked up his ears again to listen to the shouting, trying to figure out where the sound came from.

Xu Nan, who was being praised, grinned for a while before realizing that Xu Chong was not praising him at all, but was clearly saying that he was stupid.

He immediately became unhappy and caught up with Xu Chong, wanting to argue with him.

"Brother Chong, what do you mean? Were you scolding me just now?"

Xu Chong was busy looking for someone and had no time to pay attention to him.

Xu Nan stopped him and insisted that he explain himself clearly.

Xu Chong was annoyed by him. With a stern face, he threatened: "Why, don't you want to look for your brother Yi anymore?"

After hearing this, Xu Nan was instantly defeated and obediently gave way to Xu Chong.

Humph, it’s too early to fight him.

Xu Chong continued to walk forward complacently.

Not to mention him, I guess the entire Xuliu Village knows where this kid's weakness is.

I don't know why he likes Xu Yi so much. He has been following Xu Yi since he was a child, but Xu Yi is only concerned with studying and doesn't pay much attention to him.

As a result, when he saw Xu Yi reading, he followed even more closely.

When the villagers see him, they usually joke and call him Xu Xiaoweiba.

He didn't care at all when being called that and continued to do as he pleased.

Just this morning, he found out that Xu Yi was not at home. He asked his neighbor Liu Lan, and she said that she didn't see any light in his house yesterday. He immediately felt that something was wrong.

I saw him going up the mountain yesterday evening, and there was no light at home at night, so it was very likely that he was trapped in the mountains.

It’s so dangerous in that mountain.

Thinking of this, Xu Chong hurried home with his weapons to look for Xu Yi, but he ran into this guy as soon as he left the house.

He knew that they were going to the mountains to find Xu Yi, so he insisted on following them.

I didn't want him to go, but Ayun said that more people would mean more help, so I had no choice but to let him go.

As a result, when they entered the mountain, he only knew to ask which way to go and was of no help at all. Xu Chong regretted bringing him along.

"Brother Chong, it seems we have found the right direction."

Xu Nan followed behind Xu Chong. The further he walked, the louder the voice became. He could even vaguely hear the man shouting "Here".

But the voice was a woman's, and he didn't hear Brother Yi's voice.

"Why would you talk nonsense? Otherwise, why would I walk this way?" Xu Chong glanced at him and said unhappily.

Xu Nan got another cold look for no reason. He touched his nose innocently and learned his lesson. He just followed him without saying anything.

After they had walked for about an incense stick's time, they could finally hear what the man was shouting.

Xu Chong also recognized that the voice was Qiao Xi's.

"It's your sister-in-law's voice. Let's walk faster. She's shouting so urgently and loudly. She must have encountered something."

As he spoke, Xu Chong quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Xu Nan also quickened his pace.

……

"Ouch!" Xu Nan wailed, covering his sore nose with one hand while complaining, "Brother Chong, why didn't you stop before you said anything?"

"Shh!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Chong did not answer him. Instead, he quickly turned around and covered his mouth, signaling him not to make a sound.

Helpless, Xu Nan could only look at him and ask him why?

Xu Chong blinked, then turned his head and motioned him to look forward.

Xu Nan followed his gaze and was startled. If Xu Chong hadn't covered his mouth, he would have screamed again.

Seeing that he didn't scream again, Xu Chong opened his mouth and gave him a few silent instructions. Seeing that he nodded, he let go of his hand.

The two men hid behind a big tree very carefully, and held the weapons in their hands tightly in case of emergency.

Xu Nan swallowed his saliva, staring straight ahead, and lowered his voice to the lowest point: "Brother Chong, why are there so many wolves?"

Xu Chong shook his head. "You ask me, who should I ask? But why are those wolves circling around there?"

"Hey, is anyone up there?"

Just as the two were wondering, Qiao Xi's voice came again.

Well, now both of them understood why those wolves kept circling here and wouldn't leave.

It turned out that they were looking for food, but unfortunately the food happened to be the person they were looking for.

"Brother Chong, listen to my sister-in-law's voice, it comes from down there. But there are so many wolves here, how can we get through? I don't know if Brother Yi is with my sister-in-law, if he is injured, if he is..."

"Shut up now."

Xu Chong couldn't stand his nagging anymore and interrupted him.

The noise was so loud that he couldn't think straight.

Seeing his impatient look, Xu Nan was afraid that the noise here would attract wolves, so he had to shut his mouth.

Xu Chong frowned, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a solution.

Before I knew it, another stick of incense had passed.

Qiao Xi's screams continued until her voice became hoarse.

"Brother Chong, have you thought of a solution? Brother Yi won't be injured, right? Otherwise, why would my sister-in-law be shouting so desperately?"

And for such a long time, he only heard his sister-in-law's voice, and didn't hear any voice from Brother Yi.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Xu Chong, and Xu Nan became anxious.

"Yes, but you could be in danger."

Xu Chong looked at him with some embarrassment.

Hearing there was a way, Xu Nan didn't care about anything else. Without waiting for him to say anything about the danger, he nodded and agreed: "As long as there is a way. Brother Chong, tell me what you want me to do?"

Not to mention the danger, even if he was asked to go out and deal with those wolves, he would never refuse.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Nan rubbed his hands nervously.
