Chapter 116: Your Uncle's

Sitting in front of the bamboo basket, the elders waited for Chen Che for a long time and did not return, so they sent the mansion to the back house to invite, three times, the house Ding replied that Lord Chen was not in the back house.

The dim sky in the west gradually turned dark blue, and the glow of the setting sun faded little by little, recovering the layer of gold it had smeared on the forest.

The afterglow of the setting sun still left a few traces, but the moon like a silver disk brightened up early, and became more and more conspicuous on the light cyan sky.

The elders waited left and right, and when they didn't see Chen Che turn around, they checked the votes in the basket by themselves, and the result was that Elder Hugh had the most votes, and he was honorably elected as the convener.

It was dark, and Chen Che still didn't come back, so Elder Xiu had to announce the end of the meeting first, and then came to the backyard of the mansion with Daddy Ke.

When Chen Che is there, the affairs of the back house are naturally handled by Chen Che, but during the period when Chen Che is away, Long Xiaoyu's cleverness and diligence will come into play.

"Madam, is Master Chen back?"

"Well, Uncle laughed, and... Haven't passed the door yet... No, just call me Xiaoyu!" Long Xiaoyu couldn't hear others call her that, but others always liked to call her that, so she had no choice but to blush.

"Hehe, I said madam, isn't it sooner or later? It's normal to blush, it's normal hehe... Miss Long, do you know where Master Chen is?" But Dad was already an acquaintance in the mansion, and when he said this, he meant it, and when he had nothing to do, he used the title of "Mrs." to tease Long Xiaoyu.

"Lord Chen... Lord Chen, he didn't go home all afternoon, wasn't he discussing with you?" Long Xiaoyu was a little inexplicable, a large group of you got together and discussed for an afternoon, and Mr. Xiao was not present?

"Is that strange? Could it be that Lord Chen has something urgent to do, or is there some trouble?"

"What?" When Long Xiaoyu heard this, he instantly became anxious, Mr. Xiao has always been thoughtful in doing things, how could he go out for no reason? Could it really be that he is in trouble?

The torches all over the mountains, the endless flow of people, this night, the Jade Monkey Mountain is boiling, the festival like the newly rising sun makes the adults lost, he just brought a glimmer of hope to the people of Guanwai County, how can he quietly lose it.

People from all walks of life searched separately, the shadows of people crowded among the bushes, and the shouts in the mountain fog came and went, everyone searched very seriously, and checked the land inch by inch, but there was no shadow of Lord Chen.

Chen Che's disappearance has become the most worrying event in the current Jade Monkey Mountain, almost every household has sent someone to come, and even some villages have been dispatched, such as Kejiazhai and Zhangjiazhai.

As dawn approached, there were fewer and fewer people searching on the mountain, and most of them went down the mountain to search elsewhere. The peak was snowing heavily, and Zhang Xun led several masters to carefully search the peak, but still found nothing.

Mu Ying helped Chen Che with snowfall last time, which consumed a lot of wisdom, and the green whirlpool in her Hui Sea at that time was still considered to give face, and did not delay Chen Che's affairs, but since then, the green whirlpool has been hidden in the Hui Sea, and Mu Ying can no longer use the power of Xuan Xian Hui.

Mu Ying and Long Xiaoyu, the two girls who were in a hurry, wanted to cry without tears, they ran around, broke their clothes, shouted hoarsely, and still didn't find Chen Che.

"Miss Dragon!Miss Mu!" shouted twice from the crowd on the mountain, and the two daughters, Mu Ying and Long Xiaoyu, looked forward and saw a sturdy man running towards them.

"Two girls, have you ever paid attention to the soles of the shoes that Lord Chen usually wears?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Xunhuo grabbed a young man in a hurry, stretched out his foot and kicked the crook of his leg, then took off his shoes, pointed to the soles and asked, "Lord Chen's toe is sharpened, or is the heel sharpened?"

Mu Ying and Long Xiaoyu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they couldn't guess what medicine was sold in this man's gourd?

"Two girls, please think about it?" Zhang Xun was anxious and looked at Long Xiaoyu eagerly.

"It should be... Heel it. Although Mu Ying didn't know what she meant to the master, she vaguely felt that it should be related to finding Brother Che, so she told him the secret of Chen Che wearing shoes and grinding heels since he was more than ten years old.

"Miss Xie, brothers hurry up to the top of the mountain!" Zhang Xun threw his hand away, turned his head and ran towards the top of the mountain.

"Hey, young village master, I have shoes!" The young man who had his shoes snatched away looked confused, and when he saw Zhang Xun suddenly "fleeing with his shoes", he jumped on one leg and chased a few big steps while shouting, but still did not ask for his shoes back.

Zhang Xun led a team of brothers to run wildly all the way, panting to the summit.

"Brothers, don't move!" Zhang Xun, who had never spoken much, stopped his movements, squatted down, staring at the snow, everyone did not dare to move, they stopped one after another, and raised their torches.

"Let's dig up some dead leaves, don't pay attention to the new footprints, just look for the arc-shaped shallow marks and insert the dead leaves, pay attention! Don't insert the sharp arc shape!" After Zhang Xun finished his order, he pointed to a few arcs that matched what he said, and signaled everyone to be careful.

Time passed moment by moment, the heavy snow stopped, the morning sun rose into the eastern sky, and Zhang Xun, who had been busy for a long time, marked all the arc-shaped shallow seals.

Zhang Xun squatted on a rock, holding his forehead with one hand, his eyes were red, staring closely at the intricate dead leaves below, thinking hard, his brothers were by his side, not daring to speak out.

Suddenly, Zhang Xun used his wisdom to sweep down, and after landing on the ground, he turned over two big rocks, stopped in front of one of the largest rocks, and then shouted: "Brothers, come here!"

Everyone scrambled to be the first, and in a blink of an eye, they gathered on both sides of Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun grabbed a handful of snow and shouted: "Wipe it on!"

The brothers bent down to pick up the snow and paint it on the stone wall, and after a while, the gray stone wall was covered with a layer of snow.

"Light the torch! Roast!" Zhang Xun continued to order, not to mention, his group of brothers are particularly talented as soldiers, and they obey the order without ambiguity at all!

After a while, Zhang Xun threw away the torch and stared at the wet stone wall, on which there was a faint square of water, and there seemed to be water seeping into the edge.

Zhang Xun's frowning brows finally relaxed, the corners of his mouth raised, and he actually laughed out loud. The brothers also laughed, they had never seen the young master smile so knowingly.

"Don't be happy yet, go down to the two of you, and get the tools to open the mountain!"

Soon, one after another stone doors were chiseled open, and everyone scrambled to take off their cotton clothes, and the three layers inside and three layers outside wrapped the sleeping Lord Chen.

Chen Che was startled for a while, and struggled in a panic, but he couldn't raise his eyelids, couldn't open his mouth, and heard someone shouting in a hazy way: "Lord Chen, Lord Chen..."

Chen Che was carried down the mountain, put into the mansion behind the mansion, and returned to the warm home, his face turned from sallow to pale, and his bloodstained palms were dripping with sweat, and he shook a few times with difficulty, but he couldn't lift it.

"Brother Che, don't worry... Let's not be in a hurry, okay, have a good rest. Mu Ying's tears rolled down her cheeks, and her heart was like a knife.

Long Xiaoyu and Aunt Huo couldn't wait for the water to boil, so they hurriedly scooped up a large wooden basin and brought it to Chen Che's bed.

Chen Che worked hard for a long time, and finally gathered a trace of strength to speak: "Fox... Tanuki, I... To give... Do... clothes...".

Long Xiaoyu gently held Chen Che's left hand with a pair of small hands, his eyes were wet, but he couldn't hold back his crying, and pretended to be calm and comforted softly: "Don't worry, little sir, the fox has been retrieved, you have a good rest, get some sleep, it will be fine, it will be fine!"

Chen Che's soul seemed to have gone to the ghost gate to take a turn, but fortunately, the call of his family's dearest came and the king of Hades did not accept him after all.

With his relatives by his side, like a warm current pouring into his heart, Chen Che's originally weak heartbeat and Huihai, who was about to fall, slowly showed signs of recovery.

"Ahhh

It turned out that Fang Bi was back, he put aside Uncle Lei, who was in a heavy mood, and suddenly saw Mu Ying and Long Xiaoyu, who were busy in front of the bed, both in tears, like thunder, and suddenly felt that all thoughts were lost, and he couldn't hold it anymore at the moment, and threw himself on Chen Che's quilt, ignoring the two girls' obstructions, even slapping and beating, crying and grabbing the ground, eager to die together, and relieve the pain in his heart.

"You... Uncle!" Where can Chen Che stand the slapping of these five big and three thick strong men, and he just woke up in pain as soon as he returned to his soul, and he really wanted to get up and beat this fool, go to your uncle's!

"Hey, he's not dead!" Fang Bi was set aside by everyone, staring at the little gentleman suspiciously, seeing that he could still speak, his heart was happy, and he immediately burst into tears.

The two girls, Mu and Long, drove away Fang Bi, wiped their tears, scrubbed Chen Che who had passed out, and then changed into clean and soft clothes.

During Chen Che's recuperation, the large-scale construction movement of Jade Monkey Mountain was still in full swing, and the people turned their grief and anger into strength, starting work day and night.

At Chen Che's request, the Council of Elders in Layue was held as scheduled, and Chen Che sat on the couch and discussed the affairs of Jade Monkey Mountain with the elders.

This meeting first announced the official inauguration of Xiu Yingyang, the convener of the Guanwai County Elders' Association, and then finalized the official start of the preparatory work for the lecture hall.

Next, the most important issue of the formation of the county defense force was put on the agenda.

"I propose that in addition to the two brigades and one battalion, we should think of an additional battalion to strengthen the defense of Lord Chen and the government office. Elder Hugh Yingyang suggested.

"This... No need, the defense of the inner and outer lines of Jade Monkey Mountain is very good, and there is no need to set up internal defense forces?"

"Sir, have you forgotten the lessons of the past?" But the old man pulled his beard and made it clear that he objected to Lord Chen's words.

"A battalion of troops, this... It's a bit much, and the government is so small, it can't squeeze so many people. Chen Che thought about it for a moment and decided to take a step back.
