Chapter 11196

The women gathered together to gossip and had no intention of doing the housework in the tent.

The men they met on the road had no time to chatter, because they all went to help Huansheng's family find the old man.

The villagers of this era were still very simple and honest. For generations, they all grew up in the same fields and villages.

Many of the men are childhood friends who grew up together, jumping into the pond shirtless to bathe and catch fish.

Many of them are even relatives. When something like this happened to Huansheng's family, not to mention that it is the slack season and every household does not have much farm work to do in the fields, even if it is really the busy farming season, everyone will make time to help Huansheng's family find his father.

Even if it wasn't Huansheng's family, but any other family in the village, once it involved matters of this level, the villagers would not be able to ignore it and would spontaneously help look for it.

So, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo encountered a group of men who were rushing to the gate of the pasture, and these men were holding kitchen knives, shovels, hoes and other objects that could be used as self-defense.

It's spring, the snow in the mountains is gradually melting, and the wild animals that have been sleeping all winter are waking up.

It is dangerous to go into the mountains at this time. Three years ago, Wang Shuanzi from the Wang family was killed by a leopard when he went into the mountains in early spring. The leopard ate most of his body and dug out his internal organs...

When these men saw Yang Ruoqing, some of them were more familiar with Yang Ruoqing than others, so they came over and greeted her proactively.

Even if he didn't come to say hello, Yang Ruoqing would call them out to ask.

"Zhang San, are you going to the mountains to help Brother Huansheng find the old man?" Yang Ruoqing asked proactively.

The man named Zhang San nodded, glanced at the dozen men behind him, and said to Yang Ruoqing, "That's right. Huansheng and his wife have been running around since late last night until this morning. Huansheng's wife was so anxious that she fell ill. Now it's Huansheng's daughter-in-law who is taking care of them. Huansheng and his son are constantly outside looking for their old man. We are from the same village, and it's not good to see them working so hard, so I came to help!"

When the other people with Zhang San heard what Zhang San said, they all nodded to show their agreement with what Zhang San said.

Yang Ruoqing also nodded, and then asked Zhang San: "The mountain is so big, so which side of the mountain do you plan to look for? Which places have the others searched thoroughly? Don't you have to meet up to exchange your directions and routes? Otherwise, the people ahead have already searched the forest ahead, and it would be a waste of manpower for you to go there again."

When Zhang San and his group heard what Yang Ruoqing said, they looked at each other in confusion.

"It seems to be true!" Zhang San scratched his head and said.

The others also nodded, "We should definitely go and ask the other people who are looking for us, otherwise, we're just like flies flying around in the house."

I put in the effort, but I'm exhausted and probably won't be of any use.

"The old man has been ill for so long, he must not have much strength. It's been no more than three hours since the end of the night." One of them said, "At worst we can just search the woods and hillsides near the pasture carefully. He can't run far."

"Yes, unless he was taken away by a wild beast, then it's hard to say..."

After hearing their analysis, Yang Ruoqing shook her head secretly.

At this time, Xiaoduo, who had been standing behind her without saying a word, couldn't help it anymore, and stood up and said: "I dare to bet with my head on my neck that the old man will never, ever leave the grassland!" Everyone was shocked to hear that Xiaoduo, the owner of the grassland, was so sure that she was willing to bet with her head.

It seemed like Xiaoduo wasn't joking. Everyone was shocked, but also curious about her powerful words.

Zhang San asked Xiao Duo: "Brother-in-law of the Xiang family, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Duo said, "This pasture is owned by my family. I know exactly how big it is, what is in each corner, how many doors there are, and whether there are any dog ​​holes around!"

Xiaoduo pointed to the direction of the pasture gate in the distance and said, "There is only one big iron gate for entering and exiting the whole pasture. Every evening before dark, my child's father and I have to go and lock the iron gate ourselves. The iron gate is so high, and there are gaps in the iron bars in the middle, so even a child can't get through. Do you think that sick old man in Brother Huansheng's family can get out?"

"What if he climbed over the wall?" someone asked again.

Xiaoduo almost spat in the man's face.

But she didn't spit because Zhang San had already spit.

"Now that you're out, is your brain still in the tent?" Zhang San asked. "Look at the walls around the pasture. Even if we, who are healthy, want to climb over them, we need help. Do you think an old man who is terminally ill can climb over them? Why don't you say he grew wings and flew away?"

Others also agreed with Xiaoduo and Zhang San's analysis, and cast teasing looks at the person who had said "climb over the wall" earlier.

The man himself was so embarrassed that his face was hot. He hung his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's a bit ridiculous. Hehe, then tell me, where did the person go?"

Xiao Duo's tone remained firm as she said, "It must still be in the grassland. It's impossible for it to have escaped!"

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaoduo, signaling her not to say anything more. She walked up to Zhang San and the others and said, "I suggest that you don't rush out to look blindly. Let's go to Huansheng's tent first and meet up with the other villagers who are looking for him. Let's discuss a plan and then go out to look for him with a purpose. Maybe the effect will be better!"

Zhang San and the others looked at each other and nodded. "Okay, then we'll listen to Qing'er."

Just like that, Yang Ruoqing led Zhang San and the others back and went straight to Huansheng's tent.

Along the way, we met another searching team. After exchanging ideas, we found out that they were all wandering around in the same woods on the hilltop.

"I've been searching all morning, but I can't even find Shadow Hair. It makes me so tired!"

"Then don't look for it yet. Qing'er is right. We are just running around like a headless fly. Let's go gather some people and discuss how to look for it."

But we can't be so spontaneous. When we hear about this, we immediately call a few people to rush out and search nearby. If everyone does this, it will be a pure waste of manpower.

In this way, the team behind Yang Ruoqing became larger and larger, and followed her towards Huansheng's tent in a mighty manner.

And the women who were discussing the bizarre things happening in Huansheng's family along the way saw that the team that was supposed to go out to look for them had turned back with Yang Ruoqing. Out of curiosity and malice, they joined the team one by one, chattering and heading towards Huansheng's tent, making a huge noise!
