Pastoral little master

Difficult to save
The homes of the other three classmates of Tan Deyou are not too far from Tanjiazhuang.

The two are in Xiaowuzhuang, a neighboring village of Tanjiazhuang. One is Han Chao and the other is Wu Hongchun. They are two years older than Tan Deyou.

Another classmate is Li Daqing, who lives in Luochong Village, which is adjacent to Xiaowu Village.

First went to Xiaowuzhuang, which is relatively close, and Han Chao and Wu Hongchun were indeed not at home.

Han Chao and Wu Hongchun's family, like Mr. and Mrs. Tan, thought their son was in school. How could they know that their son hadn't gone to school for a few days.

Hearing the news, the mothers of Han Chao and Wu Hongchun burst into tears, worried that something might happen to their son.

Then Shen Huairen and the others asked the family members of Han Chao and Wu Hongchun, where they usually like to go, what hobbies they have, whether there have been any abnormalities recently, and so on.

Both the Wu family and the Han family shook their heads, saying that the children are quite honest, and they stay at home peacefully when they come home on weekdays, and they don't go wandering anywhere.

Shen Huairen shook his head, alas, this is a good son in the eyes of his family, but in the end...

He became very worried. It has been three days, and it may be more or less ominous.

Finding nothing useful, everyone pinned their last hopes on Li Daqing's family.

The fathers of Han Chao and Wu Hongchun also went to Luochong Village together.

It was already Xu time, and Li Daqing's family members had already fallen asleep, and were startled by the hasty knock on the door.

"Who?" Li Daqing's father sounded panicked.

"It's me, Mr. Gao from Guangming Academy." Mr. Gao answered the door outside.

Hearing Mr. Gao's voice, Father Li let go of his heart, opened the door, and asked strangely, "Mr. Gao, it's so late, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing a group of people standing beside Mr. Gao, Father Li was a little at a loss again, wondering if his son had made some mistakes.

"Is Li Daqing at home?" Old Mr. Gao asked directly without having time to greet him.

Mr. Tan and his sons, as well as Shen Huairen, looked at Father Li very nervously, and nodded in liking him.

Maybe it was because the heavens were merciful to them, Father Li really nodded, "Yes, Daqing is at home, Mr. Gao, did he make any mistakes?"

"No, call him out first, we have something important to ask him." Mr. Gao shook his head.

Father Li hurriedly let Mr. Gao and his party into the house.

A dozen or so people entered the house, making the not-so-spacious room of the Li family look even narrower.

Before Li's father went to call Li Daqing, he put on his own clothes, wiped his eyes, and walked out timidly.

Li Daqing looked at Mr. Gao, and shouted guiltyly, "Mr. Gao."

"Li Daqing, come here, let me ask you, do you know where Tan Deyou and Han Chao have gone?" Mr. Gao waved to Li Daqing and asked with a calm face.

Li Daqing's lips were tightly pursed, a look of panic flashed across his face, his lowered eyes rolled around, and he stood in the middle of the room, not knowing how to answer.

He is one year younger than Tan Deyou and is fourteen this year.

"Li Daqing, do you know?" Seeing that Li Daqing remained silent for a long time, Shen Huairen saw something, slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Ah, I know." Li Daqing who was in a daze was startled by Shen Huairen's shout, his body trembled, his legs went limp, and he knelt down by Shen Huairen suddenly.

Shen Huairen has been an official for many years, and his official authority cannot be underestimated.

Under this anger, evil spirits radiated from his whole body, making those who approached him uncontrollably move aside.

Mr. Gao took a few extra glances at Shen Huairen, feeling inexplicably a little timid, and took two steps back, feeling a little vain.

Hearing Li Daqing's words, the Tan family and the Wu family heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and finally found some clues.

But no one dared to speak, Qi Qi looked at Shen Huairen, waiting for him to ask.

"Say it quickly." Shen Huairen glared at Li Daqing.

Li Daqing said tremblingly, "They...they might be on Dalong Mountain."

"What, Dalong Mountain? What are they doing there?" Mr. Tan and his group of ten or so people turned pale and asked in unison.

Dalongshan Road is not far away, just next to Guangming Village, but it is higher and farther than Jigong Mountain. It is a famous high mountain in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns. It is said that there are many wild animals on the mountain, and there are often incidents of wild beasts hurting people. .

Now that they heard that Tan Deyou and the others were in Dalongshan and hadn't returned home for three days, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.

After everyone's questioning, Li Daqing told the truth. It turned out that Tan Deyou and the others heard a rumor from somewhere that there was a treasure in a certain cave on Dalong Mountain.

Hearing that there was a treasure, everyone was eager to move, so they gathered together to discuss, saying that if the treasure was found, then there would be no need to study so hard, and then they would be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy food and become landlords directly.

So, Tan Deyou, Han Chao, Wu Hongchun and Li Daqing made an appointment to go up the mountain together to find the treasure. After finding the treasure, the four of them shared it equally, but they were not allowed to tell others, including family members, until the treasure was found.

Driven by curiosity, a few young teenagers are excitedly preparing to find the treasure.

The four of them left the school three days ago. When they were about to go up to Dalong Mountain, the timid Li Daqing looked at the towering Dalong Mountain and regretted it, and didn't want to go up.

Tan Deyou and others were not reluctant, but warned him that he could not go up the mountain, but he was not allowed to disclose this matter.

So Li Daqing went home and didn't go to school, afraid that when Mr. Shi asked about the whereabouts of Tan Deyou and others, he would not be able to help but tell.

"Ah, silly son, why are you so confused, you should have told us about this long ago." After hearing what his son said, Father Li was so angry that he punched his son hard.

The atmosphere in the room became more solemn. I only knew that Tan Deyou and the others might be on Dalong Mountain, but it had been three days, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead.

Even if he is still alive, if he has nothing to eat or drink for three days, then...

Everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore, Shen Huairen asked Tan Deyou which cave they might go to, and then took everyone to Dalong Mountain.

Li Daqing's father felt a little guilty because his son had concealed the incident, so he hurriedly followed the front to find someone.

When they arrived at Guangming Village, Mr. Gao called two villagers who were more familiar with the terrain of Dalong Mountain to lead the way. A group of people carried lanterns and tools and went up the mountain to look for people in case they encountered wild animals.

"Deyou..."

"Super..."

"Red Spring..."

Everyone's shouts came and went one after another on the mountain, disturbing the night birds that were resting among the treetops, and fluttered away in fright.

Only the anxious shouts of the crowd, but no reply from Tan Deyou and others, everyone's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, thinking that the possibility of the death of the three people was extremely high.

Led by two villagers from Guangming Village, they finally arrived in front of the cave that Li Daqing mentioned.

The cave was so dark that it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

Tan Dejin, Tan Decai, Father Han and Father Wu carried lanterns and boldly entered the cave, while the others waited outside the cave.

Mr. Tan's body was trembling non-stop. He didn't know what to do if something happened to his son.
After a quarter of an hour or so, a voice finally came from the cave, "Come in, I found it."

It was Tan Dejin's voice.

Hearing this, everyone rushed in regardless of other things.

The cave is not really small, and it doesn't feel crowded after entering together at home. Tan Dejin and others stood in the innermost.

By the light of the lantern, everyone saw three people lying on the ground of the cave, they were Tan Deyou and others who had been missing for three days.

Seeing his son lying on the ground, Mr. Tan couldn't resist anymore, and ran over crying, "Fifth..."

Tan Dejin and Tan Decai hurriedly stepped forward to help their father, and comforted him, "Father, don't worry, the fifth one is still breathing."

This is an indirect way to tell everyone that Tan Deyou and others are not dead yet.

Li Daqing's father breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, as long as nothing happened, if something happened to these people, his conscience would never let it go for the rest of his life.

Mr. Gao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead even out of breath, oh my god, he finally found it.

After I go back, the first thing I do is to send these people back to school. If something like this happens again next time, my old life will not be worth it.

Although the person was found, the three of them were pale, their lips were black and purple, and their breath was weak. The situation was not good.

Everyone hurriedly went to find the doctor behind their backs.

There is a local doctor in Guangming Village. After seeing the situation of the three of them, he shook his head repeatedly, "The three of them even have black nails, which means that they ate something poisonous. Too many, otherwise, they would have... well, my medical skills are shallow and I can't cure this poison, so you should hire another expert."

The doctor's words made everyone's hearts rise to their throats.

"What can we do?" Han Chao's father asked helplessly as he looked at everyone with red eyes.

"Then let's go to the county seat to find Mr. Wen. He has superb medical skills and will definitely find a solution." Tan Dejin thought for a while and suggested, as if he was the only one who could save Tan Deyou and the others.

Shen Huairen nodded in agreement, "Well, Mr. Wen should do it, it's not too late, you guys go there quickly."

Tan Dejin nodded, and rushed to the county with Tan Deyou and the others.

Shen Huairen didn't go with him, he had to go back to the academy to teach tomorrow, so he had to go back to rest earlier, he had already been found, and his mind finally settled down.

But before leaving Guangming Village, he still said a few words to Mr. Gao, "Mr. Gao, it is not advisable for your school to manage students like this. I hope you will improve in the future. Otherwise, your school wants to continue to operate. I'm afraid it's impossible."

Then he drove away in a carriage.

Mr. Gao watched Shen Huairen's carriage disappear into the night, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Qiduo and the others didn't go home, they all gathered in the front yard waiting for the news.

When Shen Huairen returned to Tanjiazhuang, knowing that the Tan family was anxiously waiting for news, he deliberately went down to tell the Zhao family the situation in person, so that they should not worry.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that Tan Deyou had been poisoned, tears flowed out again.

Oh, how could this be?If he had known that something like this would happen to Uncle Fifth, he would have helped him transfer to Huairen Academy in the first place. Fortunately, what happened today would not have happened.

Qiduo felt a little regretful.

But the ever-changing world is beyond her expectation.

Just like Wen Xiuyi, where did she think that he would die without saving him?

This scene is happening in the county right now.
