There is now a half bridge on the river behind the village.

Why is it called one and a half?

Because one of the old bridges was a wooden bridge built by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang to facilitate the walking of villagers when they built the school. The wood selected was strong and durable, and no corners were cut when it was built. Many aspects were taken into consideration, and now it has been more than ten years.

, the wooden bridge has experienced wind and rain, but still stands firm, like a weather-beaten man, arching his broad back to connect the two sides of the river.

The other half of the bridge is a new stone bridge built with Yang Yongxian's investment.

The bridge piers and everything have been laid. Because of Master Sanwu's incident, Yang Yongxian is now left with half a life hanging in bed every day. The craftsman Baotou saw that the situation was not good and ran away with the remaining money for bridge construction and road construction. So now the bridge

Even with this ghostly appearance, the road at the entrance of the village has only been built for less than ten miles.

The three of them crossed the river along the old wooden bridge and went their separate ways for the time being.

In the direction of Changping Village, two figures were running towards this side, shouting and waving from a distance away, "Qing'er, Tangyazi!"

Luo Fengtang followed the reputation and couldn't help but be surprised, "Uncle? Father-in-law?"

Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo were out of breath when they came to them.

"Uncle, Dad, where are you going?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Yang Huazhong was panting and sweating on his forehead, "The three girls have been missing since noon yesterday. They didn't come back all night. We searched all over the village and found no one."

"Can't you? The third sister is already a 16 or 17-year-old girl. How can she just say she doesn't want to see her? Could it be that she went to the town to find the fourth aunt and the others?"

If she really went to town to find Fourth Aunt and the others, Third Girl would definitely leave a message for Fourth Uncle. She has always been a sensible girl and thoughtful.

"Then I don't know, so your fourth uncle sent Yongzhi to look for Chen's family in the town. He took his people and went up the mountain to look for it. Your Uncle Luo and I went there and went around.

I couldn’t find it, so I was thinking of going back and looking for it again!”

Yang Ruoqing turned around and looked at the vast mountain and raised her own doubts: "This mountain is so big, trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Besides, how do you know that she came to the mountain instead of somewhere else? If you find the wrong way,

Even if we dig up the mountain, we still can’t find it!”

There were some words she didn't dare to say out loud, for fear that her father, the third uncle, wouldn't be able to handle it, and that it would be unlucky.

The third girl is in her prime, and she is as beautiful as a flower. Many men in the village near and far are openly and secretly looking after her.

Seeing her alone, I might have had some thoughts.

In the past, Yang Ruoqing would not have thought the most malicious thoughts about these villagers easily, but since Jiang Jiapo's past came to light, her understanding of human nature has been refreshed.

Angels and devils live in everyone's heart, thinking about heaven and hell.

"The third girl has come to the mountains. The girls who were playing with her in the village said it themselves. They said that they met the third girl yesterday and invited them to go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. How many of them didn't

Go, she went alone, hey, this child..."

Yang Huazhong was so anxious that he looked over the mountain several times while talking.

Blacksmith Luo behind them was not much better. To them, San Yatou, a defenseless and delicate girl, spent the night in the mountains, and she might encounter a wild beast, which was in danger...

"Qing'er, Tangyazi, when you come to the mountains, did you find anything strange on the way?"

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Father-in-law, uncle, you have been looking for it for a long time. Go back and rest first while I go into the mountains to look for you."

Luo Fengtang stood up and made arrangements, "And Qing'er, you should also go back and rest."

Yang Ruoqing said, "No, I'm not tired. I'll go with you. There are more people and more eyes."

"You haven't slept a wink all night. Be obedient and go back!" Luo Fengtang's face darkened. This was a serious move.

Yang Ruoqing frowned, "Let's do this. I'll go to the pasture and ask Xueyun and Narisong to go to the mountains to look for you..."

Luo Fengtang was about to say yes when Yang Huazhong said, "Yesterday, the third girl who was blackmailed did not come back. Your fourth uncle came to my place. When we went to search near Lijia Village, we happened to meet Shengnan. After talking about this matter, Shengnan and Xueyun

We went out to look for it last night. We came over from the pasture and Katsuo has already come back, and Xueyun is still looking for it in the mountains!"

Luo Fengtang said, "Then I'll go into the mountain by myself, and you guys can take a break in Hui Village first."

He turned around and walked quickly towards the foot of the mountain. Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo followed him as they refused to go there.

Yang Ruoqing also wanted to go, but Yang Huazhong stopped her before leaving, "You go back to the village first and wait for news about the others. If they are found elsewhere, send a message."

This message is naturally not WeChat or something like Yang Ruoqing understands, but fireworks.

The fireworks left over from the Lantern Festival haven't been set off yet. They were specially brought back from the capital. Once they are set off, they will shoot straight towards the Lantern Festival. It doesn't matter where in the mountains they are. Unless you stay in a cave that never sees the light of day, you will not be able to do anything.

Can see.

…

Yang Ruoqing returned to the village, and everyone at home, including the Sun family, fifth aunt, and several sisters-in-law, were all in a state of panic.

Everyone didn't even bother to sit down for lunch. They all gathered at Yang Huazhong's house, talking about it, speculating and praying.

Tan, who had never cried many times in his life, was sitting in the corner with his hair a little messy and his eyes red.

The surroundings were chaotic, and various sounds were mixed together. Mrs. Tan sat in the corner silently with her shoulders slumped, holding a handkerchief in her hand and wiping it at the corners of her eyes from time to time.

Everyone was worried about the third girl, and no one paid attention to Tan.

It wasn't until Yang Ruoqing entered the room that everyone focused their attention on her and anxiously told her about the incident.

When Yang Ruoqing told them that they had learned about this on the way back, everyone turned to her for help, but this time Yang Ruoqing was helpless, she could not be the backbone of everyone.

She is a human, not a god.

"They have all gone to look for them. Tang Yazi has taken Zhui Yun and Zhui Feng with him. Let's just wait patiently at home!"

I don't know who sighed, "It's been a whole day and a night, three girls and one girl..."

Ms. Tan, who had been silent until now, suddenly raised her head from the corner and said, "Ji people are blessed by God. If any of you dare to say depressing words, I will tear her mouth apart!"

The person who spoke before immediately covered his mouth and sat still.

Everyone else can only keep their worst guesses in mind.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mrs. Tan. Although the old lady did not cry or make a fuss and looked quite calm, her anxiety could still be sensed from her sitting posture and the movement of quietly wiping her tears.

The number of people in this world who can catch Tan's eyes can be counted with one slap.

The third girl, like her granddaughters, was scolded by the old lady. In Lao Yang's family, the granddaughters had no names, or they had the same name as a money loser!

The third girl could actually get into Mrs. Tan's eyes and make her shed tears for her. When the third girl comes home and tells her, she will definitely be moved.

Now, I just hope that they can find the third girl soon and return safely!
