ed.Mu's expression immediately became two parts more despondent, and even her smile dimmed considerably."Yeah, no one has ever praised me like this before.""A woman usually sews to make or repair clot...Zong Yu hadn't returned, and as the sky grew darker and darker, the hearts of the few people sank, their faces etched with worry.

No one felt like eating dinner.

Zhong Bai couldn't help but want to go outside, "Maybe I should go look for my big brother."

Zong Yulian and Mu shi grabbed him, "It's already dark, you can't go into the mountains alone."

"Let's wait a while longer. If your elder brother truly doesn't return tonight, tomorrow I will go down the mountain to ask Village Head Wang for help finding him."

Zong Bai was still worried, "But, Big Brother he..."

Mu comforted the several children, "Don't you know your elder brother's abilities"

"He used to go hunting in the mountains for half a month at a time. Didn't he always come back safely"

Although she said so, in her heart, she was more anxious than anyone else.

Where would a mother not worry about her son In the past, whenever Zong Yu went hunting, Mu shi's heart would always be lifted in anxiety. No matter how many times he went out, it was always the same.

Now she is the only elder in this family. The children are young and impetuous, impatient, let alone if she loses her composure, it would only worry them more.

Fang Jinshu understood her mother-in-law's good intentions.

She finally spoke, “Mother is right, let’s wait until tomorrow.”

She had already made up her mind that if Zong Yu didn't come back all night, she would go out and find him herself.

As a result, Zongyu really didn't return all night.

The next morning, Mu went down the mountain to discuss finding people with Village Chief Wang.

Fang Jinshi followed along with a piece.

The open space in the village was already packed with people, all villagers who were going up the mountain to dig a water channel. They saw hope for water, and there were wild vegetables and insects to eat on the mountain as well. Now, no one needed to be forced by Village Head Wang; everyone willingly ran towards the mountain.

What's more, there is the protection of reputation and no danger to life.

It's just that today I waited for a long time, but I didn't see the two brothers of the Zong family appear.

If he hadn't seen the Mu family come down, Village Head Wang would have gone to visit them.

"Sister, why have you come down the mountain today Where is your family's reputation"

Everyone is eagerly awaiting.

Mu's brow furrowed with worry, "Wang Gege, my Zongyu hasn't returned home since yesterday."

"I'm really at my wit's end, that's why I came down to ask you and the villagers for help. Could you please go up the mountain to look for him"

As soon as Mu spoke, the village erupted in a cacophony of voices.

"What Let's go up the mountain to find people"

"Are you kidding me There are man-eating wild beasts in the mountains! Last time that giant python nearly scared the living daylights out of everyone."

"That's right, why are we made to go up the mountain"

These people murmured softly, taking a step back each, afraid that the village head Wang would really agree and send them up the mountain to look for someone.

“You, all of you, my family's Zongyu works tirelessly every day to protect you as you go up the mountain to dig canals. Now he's gone missing, isn't it your duty to help find him!”

Mu's words made sense, but the villagers all valued their own lives above others and avoided Mu's gaze.

She looked at the crowd before her, her heart was colder than ice.

Fan Jinshi's eyes were even colder, her fists clenched tightly.

At that moment, a resolute voice of a young boy rang out, “I'm willing to go up the mountain to find Big Brother Zong.”

Song Changhe squeezed out of the crowd, his face pale with urgency.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zong has been kind to me, and I'm willing to go up the mountain to look for him for you."

Fang Jinxiu loosened her fist slightly, looked at the thin boy in front of her, and gave a wry smile. "Your mother at home still needs you to take care of her."

"Going into the mountains is indeed dangerous."

Song Changhe's willingness to stand up made her feel a little better; at least not everyone among these people was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

“And me, I’m willing to help go up the mountain to look for my second brother.”

Zong Hu hurried forward, Zong Lao San couldn't hold him back.

"Little Tiger, come back quickly, or your grandma and father will know. They'll kill me."

Zong Hu frowned and turned back, "Third Uncle, Zong Yu is my cousin, and we share the same blood. I can't just stand by and watch him get into trouble."t for the whole family.Actually, with these two girls around, she basically didn't have to touch anything in the kitchen. Fang Jinshi only stood by and guided them on how to make breakfast.The people...
