Chapter 214: Grow up together from now on

"I also have a younger brother who was miscarried by his father. Can my younger brother stay with us in the mountains?" my sister asked.

"Okay." The leading child nodded, "We are all children without a family, so we must help each other. Only by uniting together can we grow up."

The girl held the bowl and smiled happily, "Then we will be with you, and we will grow up together in the future!"

For the two sisters, whose family members are all dead, it is undoubtedly a very lucky thing to be able to find a shelter from the wind and rain with their brother and have many people to accompany them.

Yang Chengzhuo was really hungry. He drank three bowls of porridge before stopping and burping.

"When my grandma arrives, I will ask her to give you more food. When I go home, I will eat less and I will share my share with you." Yang Chengzhuo patted his belly, "You are willing to lend me the food. You are good people too.”

The leading child laughed when he heard this, but he wanted to repay his benefactor, his mother-in-law, and never thought of asking Yang Chengzhuo's grandma for double the food. Yang Chengzhuo was not a freeloader. Even if he would pay back the food he borrowed, before Grandma found him, Yang Chengzhuo still decided to follow these children to dig wild vegetables and herbs in the mountains.

For this reason, Yang Chengzhuo didn't even let these children see that his legs were almost unable to walk.

None of the children in this group was lazy. Except for a few children who happened to be staying in the cave to guard things today, the rest of the children had already gone to dig wild vegetables and herbs in the nearby mountains.

"Auntie, please show your condolences. With these children in such a big mountain, it's probably going to be very bad."

Yang Chengzhuo and his two sisters also went to work with the two boys they saw at the beginning.

Ke Muqing shook his head and said, "You don't know, although my grandson is only eight years old, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he has a knife hidden in his body that can cut iron as well as mud. Even if he encounters a fierce beast, it is almost impossible to kill him." He didn't even have a chance to draw his sword to resist."

In early autumn in Zhuang County, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening. The sun is high at noon, and the mountain breeze becomes cooler as soon as the sun sets.

The mountains in Zhuang County are not like the mountains in Chen County. There are ferocious beasts in the mountains in Zhuang County, and there are cliffs everywhere.

Someone spoke to persuade.

The people from Weiwu Mountain spent the whole day searching and climbed several mountains. Everyone felt that the grandson the lady was looking for might be gone. How can an eight-year-old child survive in the mountains after being missing for so many days?
Maybe it would have been swallowed by wild beasts long ago, with no bones left.

Ke Muqing and his party searched for the whole day but could not find the child in the mountains.

Ke Muqing didn't see any blood stains along the way, so he knew that the person must have run into the mountains, and Ke Muqing must have wanted to see the corpse of a living person.

"I know that all the gentlemen from Weihu Mountain have important matters. You spent all night and the whole day here with me today. I am very grateful. Everyone, please go back. I will be free in two days. , I will deliver the promised 30,000 kilograms of grain to the foot of Weihu Mountain. Don’t worry about me running away. All the friends I know are still living on Weihu Mountain.”

Ke Muqing thanked them politely and watched these people who had lost their patience leave. Ke Muqing didn't blame them.

They didn't have the obligation to spend such a long time with her in the mountains. They spent half the night and the whole day searching in the mountains, and they didn't do it halfheartedly. Ke Muqing could also see that they really wanted to help her find the child.

After searching for a day but unable to find the child, they regained their senses and began to analyze the possibility that the child was still alive.

Each of them has other tasks, and they all have Weihu Mountain in mind, so Ke Muqing doesn't force them to stay.

After the people from Weihu Mountain left, Ke Muqing and Chen Changtai continued to search in the mountain. When they were tired of shouting and couldn't shout anymore, they took turns blowing the whistle.

Everyone in the Yang family recognized the sound of Ke Muqing's iron whistle, and Ke Muqing took it out for the children to play with.

If Yang Chengzhuo is still in the mountains, if he hears the whistle, he will know that Ke Muqing is looking for him in the mountains. If he is nearby, he can give Ke Muqing a response.

It was completely dark and the road was no longer visible. Chen Changtai lit a torch and handed one to Ke Muqing. The two of them ate steamed buns and drank water without stopping.

It wasn't until they were too tired to walk that the two of them stopped to rest against a tree trunk and take a sip of water.

"Originally, I thought the mountains in Chenjun were really deadly, and it would be bad if nothing grew. But now that I look at it, the mountains in Chenjun are somewhat beneficial." Ke Muqing was joking with Chen Changtai while having fun.

"That child Chengzhuo is smart, he must be hiding somewhere." Chen Changtai comforted Ke Muqing, "There were two other children who ran away with him. We couldn't find those two children along the way, which means that the three children We’re still together now, we’re all still together, so it’s probably okay.”

Ke Muqing nodded in response. After drinking the water, he looked up at the moon in the sky, and then at the hilltop opposite.

She suddenly straightened up and called Chen Changtai, "Look at the mountains in front, the mountain in the middle. Does that mountain look like the backside of the mountain in the cave we lived in a few days ago? The look of that mountain makes me wonder. Why does it look so familiar? "

Ke Muqing pointed to the mountain opposite, which seemed to be only a few hundred meters away, but was actually far away, and asked Chen Changtai.

"It should be the mountain where we lived!" Chen Changtai responded in surprise, "The two mountains are separated by a river. If you are right, if you go up, there is a place where the river is not deep, only reaching our knees. "Mr. Zhou came here with his children to pick herbs, washed them in the river, and some of them also played in the water."

"That must be it! Cheng Zhuo must also recognize that mountain where we have been before!" Ke Muqing said, "When people are in danger, they will subconsciously look for familiar places to hide. Cheng Zhuo and the others may come back to live with us. Passed through the cave!"

Thinking of this possibility, Ke Muqing immediately felt that her legs were not sore. She quickly tied the water bag around her waist and urged Chen Changtai to find the nearest way.

The water vapor gets heavier as you get closer to the river, and the sand becomes softer. As they approached the river, Ke Muqing and Chen Changtai discovered a few small footprints.

"They are the footprints of three children. They should be Cheng Zhuo and the others!" Chen Changtai held up a torch and looked at the ground. He became excited after recognizing that they were three footprints of different sizes. "Looking at the footprints, the three children were panicked. You should still run when you pass by.”

The two took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their trouser legs, and crossed the river in the water. When they reached the other side of the river, they hurriedly picked up leaves and wiped them on the soles of their feet before putting on their shoes and socks. The two of them walked to the cave where they lived before without stopping.
