"There's another exit here. ”

"Divide into three teams and search along the exit. ”

"It looks like there's a way out there to another mountain. ”

"It's too big. ”

"We've never been to this place. ”

That being said, everyone went out along the other exit of the cave to find someone.

However, Chen Le felt that the probability of finding it was basically 0.

At this time, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, and the sky was dark, and the view in the forest was very limited.

And that's just secondary.

Even if it was daytime, Chen Le didn't think that these people could catch a person who could walk like a fly even if he dragged a strong man in such a big mountain.

Therefore, Chen Le simply studied this cave.

Lin Yuqiong came to Chen Le's side and asked, "Have you found anything?"

"Something. ”

He found broken lines, handcuffs, and chains on the walls in the corners.

"There are people here, and there is more than one person, there are broken ropes on the ground, someone must have been tied on the ground, and there are also people on the wall over there, and there are people who have been chained, and if you look carefully at the dust on this part of the ground, it is not difficult to see that there was something here, and there should be someone lying here, and there are people here who have eaten leftover fruit skins. ”

Chen Le squatted down, took a strange fruit peel from the side, leaned between his nose and asked, confirming that it was indeed a fruit.

Lin Yuqiong asked with some expectation, "Is it Manzhen?"

Chen Le pointed to the ground and deliberately lowered his voice, "Judging from the distance on the ground, there should be enough for two or three people to lie or sit here, all of them are tied by ropes, and there are more than ten people missing in the village, I'm afraid that the last two or 3 people who are alive here, I prefer 2, so that he can carry them one by one." ”

"Manzhen was 10 traces 10 days ago, and then there was another person missing four days ago, Manzhen was the penultimate missing, and there is a good chance that she is alive, all the way to ...... The next time someone goes missing, they should be alive. ”

"Is that so......"

These words made Lin Yuqiong's heart that had been hanging a little relieved, but she still couldn't rest assured, after all, she hadn't been able to save her yet.

"Of course, all this is my speculation, and I have no evidence, the other party simply dealt with this place a few hours before we came, and took people away. ”

Lin Yuqiong paused and whispered, "Manzhen, it's good that she's still alive, we must save her." ”

"I want to, too, but now there's a serious problem......"

"What's the serious problem?"

While speaking, Ding Li also walked over and looked at Chen Le suspiciously.

Chen Le glanced at him and said, "There is a traitor! Someone is helping this person who is plundering and killing the people in the village, and he is reporting the news." ”

Because Chen Le went to the village chief at 5 o'clock, and then decided to come to this area to inspect.

After dinner, everyone basically set off at 6 o'clock, arrived here at 7 o'clock, and then immediately closed the mountain and began to search.

However, the other party safely dealt with the scene a few hours ago and ran away with the hostages.

In other words, basically after Chen Le reported to the village chief, when everyone decided to come here to inspect and search the mountain, the other party immediately knew, and then made preparations.

This shows that there are spies in the village who report the news.

Chen Le said a little lost, "It's me who is careless, I thought there was no phone in the village, and there was no signal here, so there was no way to notify, even if the other party found out that we came to the foot of the mountain, and then wanted to run, it should not be able to take away the hostages, we can at least save people back, after all, the mountain will be closed immediately, who thinks, when I reported to the village chief, before we came, he was ready immediately, otherwise the scene would not have been dealt with so cleanly." ”

"What, there are moles!"

This surprised Ding Li as well.

Then he was a little puzzled, "But in the living room at the time, the people who listened to you were all the high-level cadres of our village, and I have been with you all the time, and I didn't find anyone who had the behavior of ventilating and reporting the news." ”

Chen Le didn't know, "Either when we were eating and asking everyone to prepare, we reported the news, or we only reported the news after we set off." ”

Lin Yuqiong thought for a while and said, "From the time we notify the village chief, and then ask someone to get ready to go, it will only be half an hour, that time, no matter how much you run, it is not enough to run to this mountain to notify, and then run back, so, only after we set off, we will be notified?"

For example, someone ran over to inform the group before they arrived.

"I don't know. ”

Chen Le regretted it now, he felt that he should be more cautious.

Originally, if I had come alone, I would probably have found someone.

Now, it feels like it's going to start from 0 again, and I don't know where the other party took the hostages.

The group searched in the mountains for more than an hour, but found nothing.

Although Ding Li also wants to find another meeting.

But Ding Weitian spoke, "Okay, that's all for today, go back." ”

"Wait, let's look for it again, maybe we came early, the other party hasn't completely dealt with it, and we can still find some clues, once we go back, we won't find anything tomorrow." ”

Chen Le wanted to hold on a little longer.

Danting Weitian's attitude is very resolute.

"No, you don't understand how dangerous the mountains and forests are at midnight, unpredictable accidents can happen at any time, and I can't ignore the comfort of the villagers. ”

It was useless to let Chen Le say anything, and the group just went home.

Only Chen Le, who stayed alone, walked around the mountains for an hour before going back.

Still nothing.

When Chen Le went back, it was already the middle of the night, and at more than 1 o'clock in the morning, he found that Lin Yuqiong was still sitting waiting for him, which made him quite ashamed.

Lin Yuqiong smiled at Chen Le, then silently closed the door and motioned for Chen Le to go to bed early.

Chen Le also went to lie down on the mat.

He didn't know why, Lin Yuqiong's smile made him sound An Youyue, a faint smile that always carried a little sadness.

It wasn't until the next day that Chen Le understood why.

He was so tired that he slept until 9 a.m. the next day.

was still woken up by the sound of Lin Yuqiong and Lin Yuqing's learning.

"Do you have a good understanding of the multiplication table?"

"It's all back. ”

"Then why not. ”

"This problem is not in the multiplication table. ”

"How could it not be, I ask you, what is seven times eight. ”

"Seven, eight, fifty, six. ”

"What is that eight times seven?"

"Eight times seven is...... Sixty-five?"

"How can eight times seven be sixty-five?"

“......”

As soon as Chen Le opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yuqiong sitting at the desk, teaching Lin Yuqing homework.

However, Lin Yuqing is obviously not very smart.

"What's that seven plus eight?"

"Fifteen. ”

"What about eight plus seven?"

“...... It's still fifteen. Lin Yuqing's words already revealed uncertainty.

"Isn't that the same? What is seven times eight?"

"Fifty-six. ”

"What about eight times seven?"

“...... Sixty-five?"

“......”

Chen Ledu wiped his sweat for Lin Yuqing, how could this kid's brain not turn.

However, Lin Yuqiong was still very patient, sitting there and teaching softly.

"Think about it again?"

Chen Le just lay down like this for a while, let himself recover his strength a little, sorted out his thoughts, and then jumped up directly and said, "I'll go over and take a look." ”

"Eh, you're awake, wait, there's still porridge in the pot, you can eat something......"

"It's okay, no need, I've found a little bit of a finding, I'll go over and have a look first. ”

"Eh, what can you do without eating, I'll go with you. ”

"No, you can teach your brother to read. ”

It's not that Chen Le doesn't want to eat, but he feels shameless to eat.

Tomorrow is the deadline, the day when Lin Yuqiong will be the bride of the river god, how can she have time to rest.

Until now, I haven't found anyone, and where do I still have the face to eat other people's food.

Chen Le's sense of responsibility is very heavy.

When he left, he didn't even come back to eat lunch.

Chen Le had been looking in the mountains for a day, trying to find any clues, but as the sky got darker and darker, the chances of finding it became more and more slim.

When it gets completely dark, he'll have to go back and get some lighting.

It is futile to look for it with the naked eye.

Chen Le returned home a little dazed, he was a little thoughtful, but there was no evidence, and there was no way to prove anything.

And yesterday although the cave was discovered, nothing was found.

Chen Le was even a little skeptical that his ability was not enough to be qualified for tasks above level four.

Maybe I'm not as useful as I think I am......

obviously swore that he would definitely find someone......

When he came to the door of Lin Yuqiong's house, Chen Le was surprised to find that there were a few people waiting at the door.

Ding Weitian had already sent someone to bring Lin Yuqiong over.

Because tomorrow is going to be a ceremony, you have to prepare early, you have to dress up, take a shower and clean yourself.

So, I'm going to send someone to pick them up tonight.

Lin Yuqing's loud crying could be heard in the distance.

"Sister, don't go, don't go, I don't want my sister to go...... Wow~~~ I don't want my sister to go!"

The way he howled and cried, how miserable and miserable it was.

And Lin Yuqiong just half-knelt on the ground, gently touched his little head with one hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, Yuqing doesn't cry, be good, you have to be a man yourself in the future and take on the responsibility of the family." ”

"Sister, I don't, I don't want you to go~~~"

"Well, you have to study hard, don't live up to your parents' expectations, the village chief said, it will be for you to study until college, and there will be a mother-in-law at home to cook and cook, it will be fine, don't worry. ”

"Woo, but I'm worried about my sister~~"

"Sister...... It's just a long trip, and when you are admitted to university, I will come back, and I will study hard in the future, remember?"

"Hmm, if I get admitted to college, will my sister really come back?"

"Yes. ”

Lin Yuqiong chuckled, touched Lin Yuqing's head again, and said softly, "Be good, go do your homework." ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Yuqing was quite obedient, wiping his tears while going into the room to do his homework.

It's just that before leaving, he didn't forget to explain in a childish voice, "I want to come back." ”

"Hmm. ”

After Lin Yuqing entered, Lin Yuqiong came to the door of her grandmother's room on the left side, and explained softly, "Grandma, I'll go out, and in the future, other grandmothers will take care of you." ”

"Hmmm......"

Her grandmother was obviously a little delirious, and replied as if she should not have done so, without even looking at her.

Then, Lin Yuqiong was surrounded by a group of people and prepared to leave.

It's just that when he passed by Chen Le's side, he nodded at Chen Le, smiled faintly, and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

is still the rustic plain cotton clothes, a pair of braids, and a big framed glasses, she looks like a very rustic rural girl, but the pure and flawless smile makes Chen Le dare not look at her at all.

Chen Le wanted to say something, but in the end, he blurted out only one sentence, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, you're doing well, I'm sorry for you. ”

Lin Yuqiong said and left with everyone.

She has a beautiful and calm, calm and unfazed temperament, and also has a pure and noble temperament like an orchid.

Chen Le felt that Lin Yuqiong was far more dazzling than she looked from the outside.

After watching Lin Yuqiong and the group leave for a while, Lin Yuqing's immature and innocent voice sounded in Chen Le's ears again, "Brother, will my sister really come back?" I heard from others that if you become the bride of the river god, you can't come back. ”

Chen Le was silent, and paused for a long time before gently replying, "I...... I don't know. ”

Lin Yuqing looked tearful, looked at the direction Lin Yuqiong left, and asked in a choked voice, "Why does it have to be a sister? Why, they have to choose a sister?"

“......”

Chen Le knows this problem.

"Probably, because I'm a piece of shit. ”

Chen Le remembered what Xia Jiabing said.

All the disadvantages in this world are caused by your own waste and your own lack of ability, and you can't blame anyone!
