Chapter 83: Decision (1st Update)

Looking at these people are ordinary people, all with solemn expressions, or firewood knives or axes in their hands, but they don't look like they came here to collect firewood at all. They were stunned when they saw Jinyu, and so did Jinyu, and both sides stopped.

"Which village are you from? I don't know if it's been peaceful lately? Although the accident is pregnant, but if you encounter it, you may also be killed, so don't go up the mountain recently. A man in his fifties reminded him.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness, I came with my aunt, she is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain, I will go down the mountain." Jin Yu said very gratefully, still guessing what these people were going to do.

However, before she could think about whether she wanted to ask tentatively, a young man who looked like a leader had already taken the lead and continued to walk up the hill first, and the others hurriedly followed. They were fast and disappeared into the bushes in a few moments.

Do you want to follow along? As soon as Jinyu's thoughts moved, she heard the sound of rustling in the direction of the mountain. After a while, I saw an old man in his eighties, panting with a firewood knife.

"Girl, have you ever seen a group of people go to which hill?" The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and gasped to inquire with Jinyu.

"They're going that way, sir, you're looking for them? I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, so let's sit down and rest. Jinyu decided to inquire with the lonely old man.

When the old man heard this, he gasped helplessly, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and beat his legs with self-blame; "Hey, my old bones are really useless, and I can't help at all."

Jin Yu stepped forward, took out the dry food Keshui hyacinth from the back basket, and handed it over. The old man took the gourd, pulled out the stopper, and drank a few sips before he remembered to follow up and say thank you, but he didn't eat the dry food given by Jinyu.

"Uncle. What are they going to do? Jin Yu sat beside the old man, rummaging through the herbs in the basket, and asked very casually.

The old man looked at the contents of Jin Yu's back basket, looked at Jin Yu again, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

It turned out that the group of people Jinyu saw just now were all family members of missing pregnant women, either men, or fathers. Father-in-law, brother, uncle. Originally, no matter how hard the days were, they were always waiting for the birth of a new life with joy.

Where did I think that such a thing would happen. The missing people are not alive or dead, and there are no corpses. There was no information about the extortion of money, and there was no news at all. One person, that's two lives! These people think that it is not a way to just rely on the government and stay at home and wait, so. They gathered together and searched everywhere.

This old man is eighty-five, surnamed Liu, and his great-granddaughter and daughter-in-law are also missing. Among the people in front. There are two of them, his son and his grandson. He was also anxious at home, so he secretly followed him up the mountain, but he didn't think that the years would be unforgiving, and his physical strength would not be able to bear it at all.

"Uncle. I can understand your feelings, but have you ever thought about it, your family is already uncomfortable and anxious. If you accidentally hurt somewhere again at this age, wouldn't you want to cause trouble for them?

You'd better listen to me, go down the mountain quickly, and wait at home, right? Jin Yu persuaded with kind words.

"The girl is right, I'll take a break, and I'll go down the mountain after a break. I can't help, but I can't make any more trouble for them. Girl, you should go down the mountain quickly. Also, I see the things in your basket, there are them on the hillside in front, you don't need to come here, that side is close to people, and it is not deserted, so go there next time. The old man said as he returned the gourd to Jinyu.

"Well, remember, thank you, uncle. Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so it's better to wait for you to go down the mountain together. Jinyu couldn't go first, so she smiled and put the gourd into the basket and said.

"The girl is really good-hearted, then let's go down the mountain, no need to rest, I can still go up the mountain for a thousand years and carry a large bundle of firewood, hey." The old man sighed and stood up, patting the dust off his buttocks with his hand.

He knew that Jin Yu was not worried about him, and Jin Yu also knew that he didn't want to delay his time. The two of them walked down the mountain together, and when they encountered a steep position, Jinyu reached out to help her, and let go of her hand when she reached a good place to walk, just to avoid making the old man feel that being old was a burden and feeling sad.

"Cheng girl, you can be regarded as coming down, if I can't see you again, I'm going to go up to find you." At the foot of the mountain, the proprietress had been waiting there anxiously for a long time.

"Auntie, why don't you go back first, I want to send the old man home." Jinyu smiled and discussed with the proprietress .

The old man didn't want to delay Jinyu's time, so he hurriedly said no, but Jinyu didn't agree, not only because she was not at ease, but because she had an idea in her heart and had to go to the old uncle's house.

The proprietress looked up at the sky, and wanted to follow Jin Yu to see off the old man, but suddenly thought of the man's advice, saying that whatever the God of Wealth said, everything depended on her. So, the proprietress nodded in response, got on the donkey, and walked back first.

Jinyu also asked the old man to get on the donkey, but the old man couldn't resist it, so he rode up, pointed the way, and walked in the direction of his house.

The two chatted on the road, and Jin Yu knew that the old man's grandson, named Liu Xiaogen, was eighteen years old this year, and his daughter-in-law who only married last year, and he was the one who took the lead in organizing the mountain to find someone this time.

After entering a village, Jin Yu found that there was a door at the door of a family, and the two men were sitting on both sides of the gate with firewood knives in their hands, and they all got up to greet him when they saw Uncle Liu.

"Hey, there is a person in this family who married in at the same time as Xiaogen's daughter-in-law, and the two of them were also pregnant around the same time. No, as soon as the incident came out, his family was scared and invited his two brothers-in-law to guard it. After walking a little further, Uncle Liu saw that Jinyu looked back at the two of them again, so he sighed and explained to her.

So that's the case? Great, Jinyu's plan became clearer and clearer. After arriving at Uncle Liu's house, the women of the Liu family, one is in his sixties, and the other is in his forties.

The two women hurriedly invited Jinyu to sit down, poured water for her, and then fiddled with a bag of baby clothes and diapers to shed tears.

"Uncle Liu, I have a way to find someone, and when your son and grandson come back, you tell them, believe me, and go to find me." After Jin Yu saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walk out, she whispered to the old man.

"What? Do you have a way? The old man blurted out in surprise, but saw Jin Yu stretching out his finger and pointing outside, shaking his head to indicate that he could not be heard by others, of course, referring to his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. Of course, the old man didn't believe it, how could the woman in front of him be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little woman?

"If you believe, remember what I have just said, and say no more to anyone but your sons and grandsons. If you believe it, you will seek me, but if you don't believe it, I can't do anything. Jinyu whispered to him where she was staying, and then got up to leave.

Originally, he wanted to wait here until his grandson returned, but he didn't know when they would come back, and if he didn't rush back before dark, the enthusiastic innkeeper would have to lead someone to find him. That's not going to work, Jinyu doesn't want to get noticed.

As for whether these grandchildren will believe in herself, she is really not sure, so she can only give it a try, and if it doesn't work, she can only find another way.

Jinyu returned to the inn before dark, and the shopkeeper asked the young man to help clean up the herbs she had picked up. Jin Yu said half-jokingly and half-seriously, a few villages have been transferred, and the rent of the fields here seems to be cheaper than elsewhere, and the labor is not expensive, maybe it is not bad to rent some fields and barren mountains to grow medicinal herbs.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he also thought it was a good idea, and wondered why he didn't think of it? Maybe there are people on the road in this woman's house, and they are not afraid of sales.

After dinner, Jin Yu lay on the bed and thought, will the master believe himself? Why don't you try it yourself?

At this time, in the small village where Jinyu went, the two women of the Liu family didn't understand what the men in the family were going to do, so how could they send them outside to guard the door?

Inside the house, four generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat together.

"Dad, the woman you are talking about, did you meet on the mountain?" One asked.

The old man nodded.

"Grandpa, that's the little daughter-in-law we saw on the mountain. How can you believe her words, what good ideas can a woman's family have, and the government has no way to solve the case. A whining one said.

The oldest did not squeak, but looked at his great-grandson. He is the youngest, and it stands to reason that he should not make the decision, but it is his daughter-in-law who loses it, believe it or not, of course, he has to make up his mind.

Liu Xiaogen'er hasn't had a good night's sleep since his daughter-in-law disappeared, her eyes are red, but her spirit is excellent. After listening to the words of a few elders, he folded the stick in his hand one paragraph after another. Then, he resolutely raised his head and looked at the old man staring at him; "Grandpa, do you think that woman is credible?"

"I'm old, and I may not be as good as you in terms of physical strength, but I can't be wrong when I look at people. That little lady shouldn't be an ordinary person. I saw the herbs in her bamboo basket, they were all for healing wounds, and there were so many on other hills, why did she go far and near?

Why did she speak for a little woman without complete certainty? People are not disgraceful, although they can't be sure of her origin, but she is definitely not the kind of person who talks about it. Believe it or not, you kid make up your own mind. Uncle Liu thought about the little lady who sent him back in the afternoon, her expression, her eyes, and said to Xiao Gen'er with more confidence than before.

"Well, there's no better way right now, no matter what way she came from, whether there really is a way or not. Let's all give it a try, it's better than waiting. Liu Xiaogen quickly made a decision...... (To be continued......)
