Chapter 129: Late-night Search
?
The matter between the Guo family and Wang Mazi had caused an uproar in Lotus Flower Village, but the Yu family was in no mood to care about it. The reason was simple. The sun was about to set, but Yu Wan had yet to return home.
Yu Wan often went to the back of the mountain. It was not that she had never returned late, but that was under the accompaniment of Yu Feng and Yu Song. When she went up the mountain alone, she would return in the afternoon at the latest.
In the old residence, the Guo family was crying and making a fuss about Guo Xianyue and Wang Mazi. The Yu family’s eyes hurt when they saw this, so they came to Madam Jiang’s house.
The family sat in the central room, feeling uneasy.
“I’ll go take another look!” Little Bruiser had run to the kitchen countless times, but when he stuck his head out to take a look, Yu Wan was still nowhere to be seen.
“Did something happen?” Aunt asked worriedly.
Yu Song stood up. “I’ll go look for her!”
“Come back!” Aunt stopped him. “You still have a wound on your head. You’ll cause trouble if you go. Wait for news from your big brother.”
An hour ago, Yu Feng had already set off to find Yu Wan.
Uncle did not say anything.
Little Zhenzhen obediently sat on the stool. She looked at the adults and then at Brother Bruiser. She was sensible and didn’t make a fuss.
Madam Jiang looked in the direction of the kitchen. She held her chin with one hand and scratched the table with the other.
Creak—
The back door of the kitchen was pushed open.
“Sis!” Little Bruiser jumped off the stool excitedly and rushed out.

Soon, Little Bruiser’s disappointed voice came from the kitchen. “Big Brother…”
Yu Feng entered the house and shook his head. “I didn’t see Ah Wan. She said that she was going to dig for chives. It’s near the bamboo forest but not in the bamboo forest. I’ve searched that area carefully. The chives have been picked by someone. I think… Ah Wan must have been there.”
“Did she say that she would pick something else after picking the vegetables?” Aunt asked.
“Did you go to the stream to take a look? Did she go fishing again?” Yu Song asked anxiously.
Yu Feng shook his head again. “I’ve searched by the stream.” More importantly, the fishing rod and bucket at home had not been touched. Ah Wan clearly had no intention of fishing.
“I’ll go look for her again,” Yu Feng said.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Before long, the back of the mountain would be pitch-black. He had come back to get a torch.
“I’ll go too!” Yu Song slapped the table and said.
This time, Aunt did not stop him.
The two brothers lit torches, carried the kerosene on their backs, and left.
“I’ll go find the village headman.” Uncle stood up with his walking stick, but just as he reached the door, he bumped into the village headman.
It turned out that not only was Uncle looking for the village headman, the village headman was also looking for Uncle.
The village headman had just come from the old residence because of Wang Mazi and Guo Xianyue.
“Ah Wan is missing.” Uncle spoke first.
The village headman was stunned and swallowed his words. “Why is she missing? Did she go to town or…”
“She went to the back of the mountain,” Uncle said.
The village headman glared. “She’s just a little girl… and she still dares to go up the back mountain?”

Uncle had also just found out that this girl actually had the habit of going up the back mountain alone. He had always thought that she went with Yu Feng.
Uncle said regretfully, “Little Feng and his brother went to look for him. I want the village headman to…” At this point, Uncle paused.
The village headman raised his hand. “There’s no need to say anything. I understand. I’ll call for help now!”
The back of the mountain was such a dangerous place that even men did not dare to go alone. A young lady was really bold!
The village headman did not dare to delay and left in a hurry. He called up the able-bodied men in the village and asked for the direction where Ah Wan left. Then, he went with everyone in groups.
Meanwhile, in the Ding Family’s new residence, the little munchkins, who were waiting for their kisses, were sitting anxiously on the threshold of the back door of the central room. They would ask Yu Wan for a little kiss every morning. They were so sad that they didn’t get it today.
The three of them sat on the steps and waited for a long time. When they were afraid again, they slipped into Yan Jiuchao’s house. They grabbed Yan Jiuchao’s sleeve and looked at him pitifully.
“Shadow Six.” Yan Jiuchao spoke indifferently.
Shadow Six, who had already gone to explore the forest, flashed in. He glanced at the young master and whispered, “Miss Yu seems to have met with an accident.”
The little ones burst into tears!
… .
“Ah Wan—”
“Ah Wan—”
In the forest, the villagers held torches and searched all the way while shouting Yu Wan’s name.
“Be careful!” The hunter who was leading the way suddenly raised his hand to stop the people beside him. He held a torch in one hand and poked the grass with a wooden stick in the other. “It’s real. Pass.”
“Ah—”
Not far away, Shuanzi screamed.
The village headman quickly asked through the air, “What’s wrong, Shuanzi?!”
Shuanzi shouted, “I stepped on a bamboo shoot!”
The village headman glared at him. “What’s so surprising about a bamboo shoot?”
Shuanzi shouted, “No, this bamboo shoot didn’t grow in the ground. It was dug out by someone! Could it be Ah Wan?”
The village headman had an idea and said to the hunter, “Let’s go and take a look!”
Yu Feng and Yu Song were also attracted by the commotion.
Yu Song was about to jump down the mottled grass ditch to take a look when he was suddenly grabbed by Hunter. However, Yu Song used too much strength and still slipped. He fell into the grass in the ditch and missed his footing!
“Ahh—” Shuanzi screamed in fear!
Hunter fell to the ground from the force, but he held on tightly. Yu Feng did not expect his brother, who had always hated Ah Wan, to rush to the front. He took a step forward and pulled Yu Song up. Although Yu Song didn’t say anything, his forehead and back were drenched in cold sweat.
Those who had not stepped on it would not know that the feeling of being suspended in the air with a cold wind blowing was like walking through the gates of hell. If not for the hunter, he would have fallen down and not even his corpse would be left.
When Shuanzi thought about how he had also planned to jump down to take a look, he could not help but feel a lingering fear.
The village headman used a stick to push aside the messy grass. A cold wind blew from the cliff, and everyone shivered!
“Then… Ah Wan… could she have fallen down?” Shuanzi looked at the spring bamboo shoots in his hand and asked softly.
Yu Song looked at the thick rope on Wang Mazi’s back. He took it and tied one end to himself and handed the other end to Yu Feng. “I’ll go down and take a look.” He had never been so serious.
Yu Feng opened his mouth. In a daze, he felt like his younger brother had grown up.
Yu Feng and a few strong men held the end of the rope tightly. Yu Song resolutely descended the cliff.
Hunter brought Shuanzi, Wang Mazi, and the others to the bottom of the cliff to search, but they did not want to encounter Yu Wan at the bottom of the cliff because what they encountered at the bottom of the cliff could only be a cold corpse.
On the other side, Yu Zigui had also walked to the bottom of the cliff. After falling from such a height, there was almost no chance of survival. However, he had to see her, alive or dead. No matter what, he had to find her.
