re alone, for fear of being captured and sold again by those people."Qianqian, don't worry, this manor is managed by someone. Since you have already been bought by us, they won't do anything to you.""...Zong Yu Zong Bai was startled and his face immediately tightened.
"What Where's Yulian gone"
Fang Jinshi hurriedly said, "We were just gathering medicine here. After I finished collecting this patch, in a short while, I looked up and found Yulian was gone."
Zongyu has already investigated the place where they just harvested medicine.
Zong Bai was still asking, "Sister-in-law, could you think carefully again, did Yulian tell you where she's going or anything like that"
"Perhaps you didn't pay attention when you were collecting herbs"
>
"And that unusual commotion"
"If Yu Lian was taken by a wild beast, there should be some commotion."
Yes, Fang Jinshu was also puzzled. Such a good person, how could he just disappear without a word
Zong Yu carefully examined the footprints on the ground and suddenly stood up.
"Jade Lotus had not encountered any wild beasts."
"She vanished on her own."
"This patch of grass has no signs of being dragged or trampled. We just need to follow the footprints on the ground, and we should be able to find her."
"This little girl must have gotten lost by accident."
When Zong Bai heard his older brother say that, he immediately relaxed.
"Well, at least I wasn't carried off by a beast."
Fang Jinshu hurried to Zong Yu's side, her expression somewhat anxious.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go find Yulian quickly."
Zongbei, following his older brother, had learned a great deal about walking in the mountains. Tracking footprints and finding people was child's play for him.
He was the first to take the lead and start walking in the direction of the footprints.
Zongyu took his daughter-in-law's hand and gave her a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, Yulian should be fine."
Fang Jinshu frowned, "I shouldn't forget everything the moment I see medicinal herbs."
"Come on, let's hurry up and catch up. I won't feel at ease until I see Yulian."
Three people followed Zong Yulian's footprints all the way out of the woods.
This mountain forest's exact size is unknown, and all the trees are roughly the same. Outside of the trees are weeds.
If you are unfamiliar with the mountainous environment or have not placed any reference objects in advance, it is very easy to get lost.
Yu Lian was so engrossed in gathering herbs, moving east and west, that she unknowingly drifted far from Fang Jinxiu's side.
When she had almost filled her basket, she got up and looked around. There was no one there, not even Zhou Jinshu.
Only then did Yu Lian panic.
"Sister-in-law Eldest brother! Second brother!"
"Boo hoo hoo, where is everyone"
Yulian was afraid and didn't dare to stay in place. When her older brother and sister-in-law were around, she felt there wasn't much to be scared of in this area.
When she was all alone, she found everything terrifying.
It seemed like a beast could spring out from the grass at any moment.
Everything unknown and strange will infinitely magnify the fear in one's heart.
Yulian could only keep walking forward, she wasn't sure of her direction either. She walked and shouted loudly for her brother and sister-in-law along the way.
Zongyu's hearing was excellent, and he seemed to hear a slight noise.
He frowned and said, "Jade Lotus seems to be right ahead, but this girl has been shouting loudly."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jinxiu panicked immediately.
"Let's get over there quickly, we can't let her keep screaming like that, it'll attract beasts."
The three people hurried to catch up and walked towards the direction of the sound.
Unfortunately, Jade Lotus's location was always changing. The grass in the mountains obstructed the view so much that even if there was a sound, it would be difficult to find Jade Lotus quickly.
Zongyu felt this wasn't going to work.
"I'll go up the tree, Zong Bai. You stay by Jinxiu's side, remember, you must never leave her!"
Zong Bai immediately nodded, "Don't worry, Big Brother, I'll still mark the way along the way."
Fang Jinxiu admonished, "Be careful."
After finishing his explanation, Zong Yu immediately sprang onto a large tree beside him. Using the elasticity of its branches, he jumped nimbly to another tree with astonishing agility and dexterity.
Zong Bai looked at him with envy.
"I wish I had my big brother's skills."
"Although no one had ever taught Big Brother martial arts since he was a child, how could he be so skilled"
Before finding Yulian, Fang Jinshu didn't have the time to ponder these things, although she inwardly agreed with Zong Bai's words.
A person like Zongyu, staying hidden away in the mountains like this, is truly a shame.
Suddenly, a phrase Liu Qi had said before popped into her mind.
You were born to be a soldier, and you're destined for great achievements.
A thought flashed through Fang Jinshi's mind, hesitating to find Yulian immediately, she suppressed the thought for now.
"Let's go. You study better than your older brother, don't you There's no need to envy him."about this, consider it a favor to save you face. You should go back to your own courtyard and rest."Yu Lian wore a pleading expression, but Fang Jinxiu pretended not to see and turned her gaze away....
