"There's no trace of her by the river. I've asked the villagers, but no one has seen her."

Han Qingyun's voice was tired.

"Will it fall into the river?"

Ever since Han Huaixi was thrown into the river, Han Huaian no longer likes to play by the river.

When he heard that Han Mingzhu disappeared by the river, his first reaction was that she might have fallen into the water.

Han Qingyun shook his head.

"This morning, there were people washing clothes by the river all the time, and no one saw anything fall into the water."

"Call Han Dongchen and the others and ask them about their situation these past few days."

Lu Yanyan had no idea either, so he could only see if he could find any different clues from them.

Han Qingyun also thought of it, but he was physically and mentally exhausted and really didn't want to see those idiots.

But now it’s not a question of whether he wants to or not.

"Mom, take the kids to my mother-in-law's house and hang out. I'll have my eldest brother and the others come over to ask some questions."

"Xiaoxi, put those away."

Han Qingyun rubbed his brows and pointed at the desk lamp, toothbrush and razor.

After Han Huaixi put the things away, he took out a piece of bread and milk.

"Dad, you must be hungry, eat something first."

Han Qingyun felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and his irritable mood eased a little.

He rubbed Han Huaixi's little head.

"Don't disturb grandma and grandma at night, and go to bed early."

After Chen took the children away, Han Qingyun finished the bread in a few bites, drank the milk, and went out.

Lu Yanyan hid the box and went to find Lu Liang.

After Han Qingyun brought Han Qingshan and others into the backyard, Lu Liang stood guard by their side, preventing anyone else from approaching.

There are five rooms in the backyard, where the three families of Han, Lu, and Qin, as well as Yan Dahu, Lu Liang and other eight people live.

It was specially reserved for them by the villagers.

After Han Qingyun brought Han Qingshan and his son into the room, Han Xigu looked reluctant.

He didn't understand why his second uncle called them over when he didn't want to find Mingzhu at this time.

Inside the room, Lu Yanyan lit an extra lamp, so it wasn't too dark.

Han Qingyun shouted to Lu Liang, "Watch out, don't let anyone hear our conversation."

Lu Liang responded and Han Qingyun closed the door.

Han Xigu thought Han Qingyun was going to do something to them.

He was furious and shouted, "What is Second Uncle going to do?"

"If you have the strength, shout as loud as you can until everyone knows where you got what you got from the mountain."

Not only Han Xigu, but the other four also had panic expressions on their faces.

Han Beiwang was about to retort loudly, but was worried that someone might hear him, so he had to lower his voice.

"Uncle, of course we found these things in the mountains."

"Who are you taking for a fool? Without Mingzhu's system, you'd be no better than the Zhao family. Where would you get so much ginseng, ganoderma, and Polygonum multiflorum?"

"How do you know Mingzhu..."

Han Dongchen couldn't help but shout out, but Han Nanxing covered his mouth in time and prevented him from saying the word "system".

Han Qingshan was also stunned.

"Second brother, how did you know?"

"How should I know? Do you think you could have kept it a secret from everyone if I hadn't been covering for you on the way to escape?"

Han Qingyun looked at Han Qingshan's confused expression and felt the anger in his heart surging again.

“You are my eldest brother, don’t I know what kind of person you are?

On the way to escape, everyone was just busy getting on with their journey and didn't have much time to think about your affairs.

But here, we all live in the same yard, how dare you do that?"

Although Han Qingyun's voice was low, his tone became increasingly severe.

"We've been here for five days, except for the first day when we finally settled down at night. From the second day until now, it's been four days, haha...

First it was Ganoderma lucidum, then Polygonum multiflorum, then a nest of rabbits, and today a musk deer. Don't you think you're not exposing yourself fast enough?"

Han Qingshan and his companions looked pale. They had indeed been careless recently.

Han Xigu forced himself to calm down.

He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Second Uncle is truly a master of the art of seeing things clearly. But now Mingzhu is gone, and instead of thinking about how to find her, Second Uncle is only concerned with accusing us of something. What's the point?"

Besides, all of this is just Second Uncle's speculation. Whether Mingzhu's disappearance is related to our recent behavior is still unknown, but Second Uncle has already convicted us."

Lu Yanyan rolled his eyes in his heart.

The rebellious teenager has a harder mouth than a duck. He is obviously extremely guilty but still tries to make excuses.

"It remains to be seen?" Han Qingyun sneered.

"Han Xigu, do you think everyone else is stupid except you? What changes have taken place in your family since Mingzhu woke up in Fengye Village? Do you think everyone else is blind?"

Han Qingshan listened to his brother's accusations, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and sobbed softly.

My second brother knows about it, but do other people in the village know about it too?

Han Qingyun looked at this elder brother and felt annoyed again.

"What's the point of crying now? I called you here to ask about the situation and see if I can find any clues, not to see you crying like a woman. Stand up right there."

Han Qingshan stood up nervously.

"Have you ever felt like you were being spied on or watched these past few days? Have you let anything slip to anyone?"

Han Qingyun didn't waste any words and asked Han Dongchen four questions directly.

His elder brother is just a blockhead, it's useless to ask him.

Although Han Dongchen and the other three were somewhat dissatisfied with their second uncle scolding their father, they still tried their best to recall it in order to find Mingzhu as soon as possible.

Han Dongchen spoke first.

"On July 10th, the second day after we arrived here, I went up the mountain with my uncle's family, Yan Dahu and others.

There were people from Baiyun Village on the mountain at that time, but they didn't say anything when they saw us.

My uncle and his friends saw a rabbit and chased it, and Yan Dahu also chased a pheasant. I took the opportunity to look for Lingzhi, and I was sure no one saw me.

After picking all the Ganoderma lucidum, I put it in a basket, covered it with a cloth, and went back to look for them.

When we went down the mountain at noon, Tan Mu cut a lot of wood, and my cousin Xingye and I stayed behind to look after the wood.

The others first sent back the rabbits, pheasants, and some wood. When the people of Baiyun Village saw the wood, they said we had cut too much.

Another person wanted to see what was in my basket, but I kicked him out. Then my cousin Xingye and I started fighting with him.

At this time, my uncle and his men also returned. How could they be our opponents? They were furious and wanted to ask the village chief to seek justice.

When I was leaving, someone kicked over my basket, and the other person's eyes changed at that moment.

My uncle was afraid of any further trouble, so he asked me to go back and hide the Lingzhi. But when I got home, Yun Ergou's mother was crying outside the yard.

When the people who were on the mountain saw me coming back, they said the Ganoderma lucidum belonged to the village and asked me to hand it over.

At that time, more and more people gathered and made a lot of noise for a long time, until you came back, Second Uncle."

Han Qingyun knew everything that happened afterwards.

He signaled Han Dongchen to stop first, and he began to recall what happened that day.

Unfortunately, there are no clues.

After searching this afternoon, he was basically certain that Han Mingzhu was taken away by people from Baiyun Village.

But who is it?

Did these people discover the secret of Mingzhu, or were they jealous of the good fortune of the eldest brother's family and wanted to use Mingzhu to gain benefits?
