Traveling through ancient times and marrying a ruffian

Chapter 81

As soon as they saw the two people coming out, several people standing in the yard walked over quickly.Lady Hu couldn't even wait to get closer, so she rushed to Xie Yu and said, "Manager Xie, we are in charge, we have been away for several days and haven't come back yet. You, can you help us go into the mountain to look for it?"

Mrs. Hu, who used to talk like a cannonball, now seemed a little incoherent because of her anxiety.

The general meaning, Shen Mumu understood: Brother Hu went to the mountain and hasn't returned yet.

They knew about Hu Tuhu's entry into the mountain.Last winter, Xie Yu went into the mountains with him.This year because the family had a child, Shen Mumu couldn't handle it alone at night, so Xie Yu refused to go.Could it be that something happened?
Shen Mu's heart sank.

What Lady Hu said was aimed at Xie Yu, Xie Yu probably understood, but didn't reply immediately, and turned to look at Shen Mumu standing beside him.He is not good at dealing with women, especially this kind of woman who is in a state of anxiety.

Shen Mumu didn't need him to say anything, and stepped forward to hold Madam Hu's hand, "Sister-in-law, please speak slowly, if you can help, we will definitely help."

Lady Hu calmed down and said, "I am the head of the house. The head of the house has been in the mountain for a few days. Before entering the mountain, he promised to come back yesterday, but it was noon today, and there was no sign of anyone. I was very worried, so I wanted to find someone Go into the mountains and have a look."

This time, Lady Hu explained the matter clearly, but the uneasiness in Shen Mumu's heart did not decrease at all.

The people of Chashu Town are tough, and most of the men don't want to spend the long winter in bed.I will find a good day, invite a few friends, and go hunting in the mountains together.In the case of heavy fog or sudden snowfall, some people were trapped for ten and a half months before coming out.

Although Mrs. Hu is not a native of Chashu Town, but she has been married for more than ten years, so she should know about the customs of Chashu Town.If she came back a few days later than usual, Mrs. Hu wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Shen Mumu glanced at the women standing next to Mrs. Hu, all of them had met once or twice, but they didn't speak.It may be that I am not familiar with it, so I am embarrassed to bother others.It could also be that Xie Yuzai made them uncomfortable.

In short, several people had anxious faces, but no one came forward to say what happened.

Shen Mumu had no choice but to continue to ask Mrs. Hu, "Sister-in-law, did Brother Hu enter the mountain alone?"

"I didn't go alone, there were two brothers Zhao Jian and Li Daxiong..." Mrs. Hu said the names of several people, and then said as if she couldn't remember, "Anyway, several people went together .”

Several people went together.

Shen Mumu looked at Xie Yu, and really didn't understand why Mrs. Hu was in a hurry, there is usually no fixed number of people who go hunting in the mountains, so there is no need to worry about returning a day or two late.

Besides, Big Brother Hu didn't go alone. It may take some time for several big men to be together because there are many prey.It is also possible that for the sake of stimulation, a few people went deeper into the mountain.In short, it's not the first time that Brother Hu has gone out hunting with several people, so the possibility of accidents is very small.

She thought so, and she didn't show any disapproval in front of Mrs. Hu.

Fortunately, at this time, a woman standing behind Mrs. Hu added, "It's not uncommon for men to go into the mountains and have fun, and have no idea of ​​going home. Originally, none of us were in a hurry. But, This morning, Orion from the west of the town came back injured and said that he encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains, we..."

The following words were spoken in a lower and lower voice, and gradually faded away.Mrs. Hu took the conversation, "Since last night, my right eyelid has been twitching, and I'm really worried."

When Shen Mumu heard it, this winter, the wolves eat and drink less, if it happened to them, the situation might not be optimistic.

Thinking of this, I heard Xie Yu say, "Shall we go now?"

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Hu intended to agree, so she hurriedly replied, "Yeah, there are a few other people who are going too, and they all went to clean up. We agreed to get married on the dam in the west of the town."

Xie Yu readily agreed, "Okay, I'll pack up and come out right away."

Shen Mumu watched him turn back to the house, did not follow, and continued to appease Mrs. Hu, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, nothing big will happen if a few big men are together. There is no news yet, so don't scare yourself .”

Mrs. Hu said, "Yes, I know. Manager Xie is going, you help him clean up, and I will go back and clean up too."

Shen Mumu held her back, "Sister-in-law, you, are you going too?"

It snowed a few days ago, and the snow in the town has almost melted, but there is still a lot of snow on the mountains.I don't know if I will meet wolves when I go there, she went alone as a woman...

"Well, I'm staying at home, I'm not at ease, I have to go and see." Mrs. Hu saw her worry, "It's okay, my sister-in-law has been used to running in the mountains since she was a child, so it's okay."

"But what if..." Shen Mumu frowned, took her hand, and refused to let it go.

"Don't worry, the people looking for people this time are all young and strong young men. I'm afraid they won't be able to protect me." Sister-in-law Hu went out with a few women as she said.

Shen Mumu opened his mouth, but didn't say words of dissuasion.

Just as I was about to go back to the house, I saw a man coming out, "You stay at home and look after the child, I'll be back soon."

Shen Mumu sized him up, he cleaned up by taking a kerosene lamp and putting on a coat.

He thought it was a simple search for someone!
The general shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a few more things."

When Xie Yu went out again, he carried a moderate burden on his shoulders, and those who didn't know thought he was going on a long journey.

Shen Mumu stood at the gate of the courtyard to see him off, "Be more careful, if..." If you really meet a pack of wolves, "Think about your sons."

The man readily agreed and went out.

When we arrived at the open space in the west of the town, many people were waiting there, some with arrows on their backs, some with wooden sticks, and some with sickles and hoes, but only one person was unarmed.

When the twins had full moon wine, most of the people in the town came. Men, whoever drank at the table is considered to have friendship.Seeing him coming, the people who arrived first nodded slightly.Thinking of what the little daughter-in-law told her before leaving the house, Xie Yu also responded one by one.

Wu Qiang also came, and as soon as he saw him coming, he squeezed over and said, "Third brother, are you going too?"

"Well, let's go together."

Wu Qiang was not surprised to hear that, after all, Xie Yu had a good relationship with Hu Tuhu's family.Seeing that he didn't bring a weapon, Wu Qiang asked, "Third brother, our trip to the mountain is not just to find people, we may encounter wild beasts. You, why don't you bring any weapons?"

What Wu Qiang said, Xie Yu only heard the woman at home say it before going out.His silly daughter-in-law said that she had to go into the mountains without a weapon, so she searched for one inside and outside the house for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable one.Finally, she ran to the kitchen and brought him the kitchen knife with which he chopped the bone.

Of course Xie Yu didn't want it!

Hearing Wu Qiang say the same thing as her now, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

After Wu Qiang said something, he handed him a wooden stick, "No, third brother, this is for you, use it for self-defense." Wu Qiang was also very helpless, before he went out, his mother forcefully gave him two sticks.The winter clothes are thick, and it is inconvenient for him to carry two more sticks, so he simply gave one to Xie Yu, which can also reduce weight.

Xie Yu didn't know what he was thinking, so he took it and looked at it. The stick was much more pleasing to the eye than a kitchen knife, so he didn't refuse, and accepted it after thanking him.

The sun came out today, and the snow was melting at the foot of the mountain near the town. As soon as we entered the mountain, the temperature dropped a lot.Fortunately, a group of people were well prepared and dressed thickly.Shouting all the way into the mountain, it is not very cold.

The mountain is too big and the snow is thick, so it is not realistic to search all over the mountain.So, under the leadership of Orion, a group of people searched for one trap after another.

At the beginning, no one was found, so everyone was not in a hurry.Apart from seeing the footprints of wolves, I didn't see any blood, so people should be fine.

When the sun was westward, no one was found, and there were no animal footprints on the snow, only the last trap remained.

If they couldn't find anyone, they had to go back the same way. There were wolves in the mountains, so it was naturally not suitable for them to spend the night.

Lady Hu didn't drag everyone down at all, she walked in the middle and was able to follow the team all the time.Up to now, her voice is hoarse, and she tried not to shed tears.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Xie Yu followed his wife's instructions and stayed with Mrs. Hu.At this time, seeing her suffering, it was rare for her to comfort her, "I didn't see any blood, she must be fine, I guess she fell into a trap."

Mrs. Hu nodded indiscriminately, and continued to shout, "The head of the family ~ the head of the house~"

Xie Yu was just casually comforting people, but he did not expect to find someone in the last trap.Everyone was there, and I didn't know how to do it. Several people fell into this trap in one nest.

Everyone cheered, and hurriedly pulled people up.He was fine, but he was very cold, his lips were black and purple from the cold, and he was still trembling.Lady Hu threw herself on Butcher Hu and cried.

"Okay, the person has been found, let's go back now." It was getting late, and the team began to feel a little uneasy, and someone suggested to go back quickly.

"No, people are freezing, so just carry them back like this, I'm afraid they will get sick from the cold." The experienced Orion stopped him, "We have to warm them up first."

"But we don't have anything to eat or drink on us. Where can we get it? In my opinion, we should go back quickly and ask the doctor to have a look."

In the middle of a stalemate, Xie Yu untied his bag, and took out the medicine for sores, meat pies, and hot soup.

Wu Qiang smeared the sore medicine on the scratches, crushed the meatloaf, fed it with hot soup, and the complexions of several people improved a lot.

"Third brother, how did you make this hot soup? We've been out for so long, why is it still hot?" Wu Qiang asked Xie Yu in surprise.

Xie Yudan said, "The ladies at home are idle and messing around."

No matter what the reason was, he didn't want to talk about his wife with outsiders, so he changed the subject lightly, "Is your mother feeling better?"
