Transmigrated into the original heroine of the period novel who was cannon fodder

Chapter 403 Uncle Pei is missing (2)

Lingxi stayed at home with the three little ones. When she saw them come back, she said she was packing up to go into the mountains.

Lingxi was surprised: "The stones were cleared so quickly?"

Gu Si and Pei Yanning didn’t say anything about not finding Uncle Pei, so the specific situation is still unknown. But not being able to contact him at this moment doesn’t mean anything.

"We haven't moved yet, but there are more and more people over there. Dad is worried about Second Uncle, so we think we should go into the mountain first. After all, there's not much difference between us in the mountain and outside." They have a flying vehicle, so it will only take a few minutes to go in and out.

Lingxi suddenly realized.

This means that on the surface, we are entering the mountain, but in reality...

Who knows what they do!

Lingxi really didn’t think much about it. How does the tribe live?
Is there any year when hunting in the mountains is not a "regular activity" during the slack season?
For Uncle Pei, the mountain was not only his own backyard, but it could also be considered a very bad place. Therefore, Lingxi never thought about the possibility of something going wrong.

and--

Her biological father and fourth brother are both here. In Lingxi's mind, they are omnipotent and can let her do whatever she wants and take everything into consideration. Lingxi will not think about anything else at all.

Gu Si and Pei Yanning looked at each other, and their eyes were particularly gentle when they looked at Lingxi.

But it is precisely because of Lingxi's 'innocence and gullibility' that Lingxi's wholehearted trust is just right for Gu Si and Pei Yanning, who are both deep-minded and intelligent.
-
Because it was decided in advance that Lingxi would go into the mountains, the three little ones had already made mental preparations for them in advance. They had been taken to the steel plant by Pei Yu in the past few days. After the research institute moved in some time ago, Gu Qingnan and Zhao Jianan were also there. With Minghui's company, they all adapted well.

Moreover, Gu Si gave them the laptops that he had originally planned to give them on their birthdays.

I promised to chat with them every day.

The three little ones decided not to worry about their dad, mom, and grandpa going out to "play" without them.
-
Gu Si, Pei Yanning, Lingxi, and Pei Jin, who had taken a leave, went into the mountain together. On the way, they met villagers working in the fields at the foot of the slope and children digging wild vegetables on the slope.

Only after they entered the mountains and made sure there was no one around did Lingxi and Gu Si get on the aircraft directly.

Pei Yanning and Pei Jin stayed below and continued on their journey.

It was because Pei Jin was the slowest walker. How long it would take them to reach the camp would depend on his speed. Pei Yanning didn't feel sorry for his nephew, but...

He stayed outside to check out the surrounding situation and use his mental power to investigate. Who knows, there might be some unexpected gains!

Pei Jin, who had no idea that his uncle had other plans, was very touched. His uncle was just a good guy. It was obvious that he didn't need to suffer on the journey with him.

Pei Yanning noticed Pei Jin's thoughts: "..."

Forget it, just be happy.

Gu Si’s aircraft was not idle either.

Although their aircraft was not with Pei Jin, they slowed down and turned on the scanning mode at the same time, analyzing the situation in the mountain all the way until they hovered above the rocky mountain. They scanned more and more carefully, not even letting go of a mountain cat or a wild grass. But even with such an intensive search, they still didn't see any trace of Uncle Pei.

Although they arrived early, they did not show up and stayed in the aircraft.

The following situation is clear at a glance.

Judging from the traces of their distribution, there were seven or eight groups of people stationed there. They were all independent groups, and there were also small groups of people moving around in places further away.

Lingxi and Gu Si stayed on the aircraft until sunset, and Pei Jin and Pei Yanning entered the aircraft's monitoring range.

The young couple packed a few rice balls, found a place away from people's sight, got off the aircraft and met Pei Yanning and Gu Si.

The father-in-law and son-in-law exchanged glances as soon as they met. It was obvious that they did not notice anything unusual along the way. Similarly, no matter whether it was positioning, communication, or anything else, there was still no trace of Uncle Pei.

Pei Yanning's face was a little pale, which was obviously a reaction to the excessive consumption of mental energy along the way, but he quickly adjusted himself as if nothing had happened.

Lingxi didn't know what was going on with her father. But she still handed Pei Yanning the kettle, which contained the spring water from her companion space. After seeing that he and Pei Jin had both drunk it, she handed over the rice ball she had prepared.

"Just made it, Dad, you and big brother should eat it while it's hot."

Pei Jin nodded.

He was not tired at all, as he often went into the mountains.

But as they were hurrying on the road, he was thinking that Lingxi should be with them as they went up the mountain, and her pace would be even slower, so he deliberately slowed down a little.

I just arrived now.

Pei Yanning and Pei Jin ate while walking inside with them.

Lingxi looked around and saw scattered groups of people walking around. She looked in the direction of the camp and asked curiously, "Where are Second Uncle and the others now?"

They hovered there for quite some time, but still didn't see Uncle Pei.

Pei Yanning shook his head and looked at the rocky mountains in the distance with a distant gaze.

"I don't know. I'll ask Lao Hei later."

"What are you asking me? You are finally here."

Lao Hei has been really depressed these days.

We held several small meetings in the past few days, and finally we discussed and divided the responsibility areas. We decided who would be responsible for each side, and everyone worked together to move the stone.

Just as Lao Hei had speculated before, there are so many people!
No one wants to suffer a loss, but where do they get so much time to waste?

But when we really start working on it, a lot of trouble occurs.

This group of people are not the kind of people who obey orders and work together. Everyone is a competitor to each other. While working, they have to keep half an eye on the people around them, for fear that their hard work will make things difficult for others.

Lao Hei chatted with Pei Yanning for a few words, and when he turned his head inadvertently, he saw Lingxi, who was previously blocked by Pei Yanning and now appeared.

His eyes widened instantly.

Pei Yanning raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "I heard that the mountain is quite lively, so I brought my daughter here to see the world. This kind of opportunity doesn't come often."

Lao Hei: "..."

He thought of Lin Feiyin and her group of unlucky kids and instantly fell silent.

Ha!
People like Lin Feiyin can come, so there's nothing wrong with my eldest niece coming.

Isn’t Pei Yanning more capable than those brats?
Lao Hei stopped worrying and led his men towards the camp. Suddenly he thought of something and said, "Hey, by the way, where is the second brother? I don't think I saw him today."

Pei Yanning's eyes paused slightly.

"Didn't you see it today?"

Lao Hei nodded.

No!
"Second brother doesn't live with us..." He pointed to an old tree near the edge of the mountain wall and said, "Second brother and a few people from your village live over there. There is a small cave there.

It's just right that there aren't many of them living there.

In the evening when we finish work, we will call him over for dinner.

I saw him last night, but I don’t know if he appeared today.”
