Chapter 17 Go Back
After searching for a long time but still not finding anyone, old man Xu ordered them to go back and talk tomorrow.

Because everyone has to go to the fields tomorrow, if we can't rest in time, we may not have the energy to do farm work tomorrow.

Besides, it's really late now.

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly stopped the men of Xu's family, with red eyes, she yelled angrily: "No, I can't go back. What if my youngest son is in danger?"

As a father, Xu Hongfu was also feeling uncomfortable at this time. He looked at old man Xu with pleading eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Father, can you..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Wu.

Wu frowned and said: "Boss, go back first according to your father's instructions, otherwise who will do the work in the field tomorrow?"

Obviously, after hearing what Wu said, Xu Hongfu began to hesitate.

Seeing this, Zhu yelled angrily with tears: "Xu Hongfu, you are still not a man, the missing one is your son."

Xu Hongfu's eyes were mixed with panic, his face turned blue and pale, looking at Zhu Shi, he wanted to speak to comfort her.

He was naturally worried about Xiao Yao, but what mother said was right.

Isn't the most important thing for their farmers is food? Right now is the busy time of farming, and they can't delay for a moment.

He persuaded in a good voice: "Sanniang, go back first, everyone is tired all day."

Mrs. Zhu stared at him coldly: "I won't go back, if you don't look for me, look for it yourself."

The villagers next to him couldn't persuade them to say anything, after all, this was the Xu family's housework.

But the women still sympathize with Mrs. Zhu, only they know how important children are to them. If this happened to them, they would be even more unreasonable than Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu insisted on looking for it by herself, but Xu Hongfu didn't know what to do with her, so he looked at his mother for help.

It would be impossible for Mrs. Zhu to search aimlessly here alone. After all, it's so late, who knows if there will be wild animals coming down the mountain to look for food.

Knowing that she misses her child very much, Mrs. Wu didn't scold Mrs. Zhu this time.

She picked up a wooden stick on the ground and hit Zhu's back fiercely.

Xu Hongfu suddenly turned pale with shock, and asked in disbelief: "Mother, what are you doing?"

When the stick fell, Mrs. Zhu fainted directly. Fortunately, Xu Hongfu stepped forward to catch her in time, so that Mrs. Zhu would not fall to the ground.

Mrs. Wu glanced at the silly son, and said angrily: "What else can I do, of course I should knock him out and take him back."

The other villagers watching the play were indeed frightened by Wu's move, but after listening to her explanation, they also understood that Zhu's current state can't be brought back without being knocked out.

But this Wu's attack was too ruthless, and I felt a pain in my back just thinking about it.

At this moment, a wolf howled: "Wow~"

"No, it's a wolf."

"You have to get out of here quickly."

The villagers panicked for a moment, and the timid ones were already crying in fright.

Seeing the flustered faces of his sons, old man Xu glanced at them sharply, and said calmly, "Calm down, it's just that the voice is far away from us, why panic?"

The third child always felt the cold behind him, looked around from time to time, and said to his father with a trembling voice: "Father, let's go back, maybe the wolf came out from somewhere."

One of the villagers, who was about the same age as Mr. Xu, said with a serious face: "Brother Xu, we will go back first, so don't stay any longer, go back quickly."

As soon as the words fell, a large group of people ran away baredly.

Wu said with some fear: "Old man, let's go."
