Chapter 139 Adventure into the Mountain
The house was covered with snow and the house was brightly lit. At this time, the village chief’s house was still spacious and filled with villagers who rushed over after hearing the news.
Looking at the village chief who said nothing, the villagers who lost their son could not help but feel angry and said anxiously: "Village Chief, hurry up and take out a charter. The eighteen young people who disappeared!"
This sentence seemed to open a hole, and then a group of people responded fiercely: "Yes, village chief, the longer this matter is, the more dangerous the situation of these young people will be. While the snow is not too deep, you can go into the mountains to find people. Let's go quickly. If it's too late, it will be too late!"
"Village Chief, don't think about it anymore. My son is lost. I must go into the mountains to find him. Someone who is willing to go with me will follow me now."
""
Everyone was talking, without exception, all of which were going into the mountains to find people, with real worries and urgency on their faces.
Just now, only seven of Li Li and twenty-five young people who entered the mountains to hunt came back! All the remaining eighteen people were missing in the mountains, or in the deep mountains.
No one knows where these eighteen people went, what they encountered, and no one knows whether they were safe and whether they could come back safely after heavy snow was blocked.
As for why it disappeared, it was because a strong adult wild deer accidentally ran out of the mountains and came into the trap set by Li Li and others. This made Li Li and others who had just arrived at the mountainside very happy, and then formed a siege to take down the wild deer.
However, wild deer is hard to tame and is very clever. Those traps are targeted at pheasants and hares. For wild deer, they are simply decorations, so how can they be easily taken?
Sure enough, before Li Li and others could form an encirclement, it rushed left and right and escaped, drilling straight into the deep mountains.
The wild deer is full of treasures and is valuable. After finally squatting such a valuable wild creature, Li Li, who was already making money in the mountains, would naturally not give up easily.
Just as Li Li and others wanted to continue chasing the wild deer, the two brothers, Mangshu and Sanglin, who were not blinded by a wild deer, tried a lot to explain their great relationship, and persuaded Li Li and others who were full of their brains.
But some people listened to the advice but some people didn't. This time, the hunter's kite was unwilling to give up. Not only did they want to chase the wild deer, but they also mobilized several young people who had played with him.
Sang Shu and Sang Lin and others persuaded each other, and risked being complained to stop people, but they still did not stop Jiazi and others who were seduced by a wild deer. They watched more than a dozen of them chasing the wild deer and disappearing in front of them.
The wild deer appeared shortly after the group entered the mountain, but until dark, the Jiazi and others who were chasing the wild deer came back.
Everyone realized that it was inappropriate and felt that no matter whether the Harrier and the others caught the wild deer, the spot should be back. However, they did not come back, and none of the thirteen people who went out came back.
The people who stayed there could no longer sit still, and some people suggested going into the mountains to find them. No matter what, the thirteen people who played together since childhood must have encountered danger if they didn't come back. The remaining people should go in and bring the people back, otherwise they would not be able to explain to the relatives who had disappeared, which might not have been confirmed to the thirteen people.
Everyone knows the danger of entering the mountain in snowy days. Most of the people who entered the mountain this time have old people, some are willing to go into the mountain to find it, and some are worried and dare not go.
The remaining twelve people adopted the principle of voluntary voluntary qualities. In the end, only five people were willing to find people, and the remaining seven people stayed there and continued to wait. If no one came back the next evening, the remaining seven people would hurry back to the village to ask for help.
Among these five people who went into the mountains to search, there were two brothers, Mulberry and Mulberry, who had opposed chasing wild deer from the beginning.
At this moment, the villagers who understood the causes and consequences, especially the relatives of the more than a dozen missing people in the mountains, were extremely resentful to the Harrier who asked to chase the wild deer, believing that it was not his inspiration that his son would not enter the mountain and would not encounter unknown dangers.
The most unfair thing was that the relatives of the three other people who took the initiative to enter the mountain were even more shocked and angry, staring at Harrier's only relative, Harrier.
"Oh my God, Harrier, if you have something to do, how can you let your mother live!"
The Harrier girl, who was almost poked into a sieve by everyone's eyes, fell to the ground with her legs soft and began to cry and scream.
The only son disappeared and brought seventeen other people into danger, causing the old woman who died in her fifties and had a bad health and was both sad and scared.
She dared not refute to others that the other seventeen people had nothing to do with her son. At present, she just wanted these people to go into the mountains to find someone, find their own family, and find her only son and her life together.
"Hmph, the good son you raised has harmed more than a dozen people. Do you still have the face to cry here?" An old woman who disappeared from her son rushed out and raised her hand to go to beat the kite girl. The hatred in her eyes was unconcealed.
"Okay, okay, the most important thing now is to find someone. What's the use of hitting her?" The old woman's man stopped her husband. Although the man also hated her, he knew that things would become more and more messy once he took action, and he was unwilling to waste the time he found his son on a useless woman.
This idea is also what most people think. They hate Harrier who makes random ideas and also hate Harrier mothers, but in the face of the safety of their relatives, this hatred is nothing.
Sang Ye stood in the crowd, looking at all this indifferently. Seeing that Village Chief Li was holding the cigarette pole that had not been lit, her face changed. She suddenly pushed the crowd away and walked to the village chief: "Village Chief, my niece begged you to gather people into the mountain to find people."
Village Chief Li looked at the mulberry leaves calmly, stretched out his shriveled and rough finger and pointed at the snowy goose feathers that kept falling outside the door and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how dangerous it is to enter the mountain at this time?"
The eighteen young people in his village disappeared in the mountains. Is Village Chief Li not anxious? No, he is more anxious than anyone else! Once these eighteen people encounter unexpected problems, seventeen families will encounter the tragedy of whites sending blacks.
Several families have only one son. If something happens to the only son, there are old and young families in these families, and their families will be destroyed and their families will not be able to live well.
Village Chief Li didn't want to gather people to go into the mountain to find people? He thought, how could he not? But the snow outside had already buried it in his calf and was still falling. Entering the mountain in the middle of the night was a very dangerous thing, and there was no trace on the snow. No one was found and broke the hands of the people who were looking for people in.
Even if he really has to go into the mountains to find it, it will only be possible to do it during the day. Village Chief Li hopes that all the eighteen missing young people will come back alive, but he cannot get the living people in front of him, and not one of them!
"Village Chief, you can find people earlier as soon as you step into the mountain. My niece knows your concerns, but the one who is missing is my brother. Now I have to go find them." Sang Ye suppressed his inner worry and fear, and his calm voice was filled with trembling that others could not hear: "Personal, if someone voluntarily enters the mountain, the niece will follow them to find people. I hope the village chief will not stop it."
Although she dared to go into the mountains alone to search, her power was too limited. She could not guarantee that when most plants were dormant in winter, she would be able to find the missing brother and sixteen other people with her supernatural powers.
Things have reached this point, and we have to give it a try. She doesn't expect many people to come with her voluntarily, and at least the relatives of the other sixteen missing people should be willing to go.
Only when someone goes, she can find someone with confidence and boldness, and don’t worry about suddenly jumping out of a carnivorous beast that makes her unable to fight against during the search process.
"My son is gone, I'm willing to go into the mountain now."
"Miss Chief, I am willing to find my man, and my child cannot be without a father."
"Missar, please let me go. Whether I can find it or not, I will go find it. That is my only son!"
""
Sang Ye's words reached other people's ears without missing a word. The other sixteen villagers who had disappeared from their relatives looked at Village Chief Li and responded excitedly. They were not afraid of danger, but were afraid that they would never see their sons and husbands again.
Looking at the anxious faces in front of him, Village Chief Li knew that he had stopped the person. After walking out of the house later, they would sneak into the mountain together.
Sighed weakly
Angry, Village Chief Li finally nodded: "Please volunteer, those who are willing to go into the mountains to find people now, go home and prepare to go. If you don't want to come here to gather after dawn, discuss a charter."
After saying this, the people in the room had no objection.
Although those families who did not participate in the hunting were unwilling to risk going into the mountains in the middle of the night, they had no objection to going into the mountains to find people during the day. After all, life is at stake, and no one can guarantee that one day it will not fall on them and need help from others.
"Thank you, village chief!"
Sang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the village chief, and hurriedly pushed the crowd away and rushed out to Le, going home to prepare for the things to enter the mountain, and even forgot the Sang Honest Sang Yu and his son who were still present.
The other people who volunteered to enter the mountain did not stay much. After thanking the village chief anxiously, they also rushed out of the village chief's house. After they agreed to wait under the big tree at the entrance of the village, they went back to prepare their own things.
The things to be prepared are nothing more than ropes, canes, machetes, and lighting oil lamps. Every household has these things. Those who volunteered to go to the mountains to find people quickly prepared them and went out in the same direction. Almost every household had two people.
But at this stall, the Sang family had a dispute. Sang honestly didn't want his daughter to go into the mountain to take risks. He refused to let his daughter go, nor did he let his youngest son go. He wanted to go into the mountain alone.
"No, Dad, my mother has fallen down. Now the family needs you to support me!" Sang Ye didn't want to snatch the machete and other objects from his father's hand, so he asked his younger brother to stop his father: "Dad, don't worry, I am still young and neat, and I followed a large group of people into the mountain. As long as I am careful, there will be no problem. Even if there is any danger, I will be the first to escape."
Just as Li Li knocked on the gate of the Sang family and informed the Sang Shu and Sang Lin brothers that they disappeared in the mountains, the Mu family, who had always been strong, could not withstand the blow and fell down in a hurry.
If you are not seriously injured, you are weak, dizzy, and need to rest in bed. Otherwise, this time you go to the mountain to find someone, Mu will definitely go by himself.
Sang Yu stopped his father, but he didn't want his elder sister to go. He looked at the elder sister who was about to go out and said anxiously: "Sister, I'm a man and let me go. If you leave, Huan'er will make trouble, I can't coax you."
Huan'er has always been obedient and will not cry even if she feels uncomfortable. Sang Ye knew that this was an excuse for me to dissuade me, but in this case, she could not let me take the risk: "Now you are the only man left in the family. If you disappear again, your mother will be anxious to wake up. Just stay at home and watch Huan'er and wait for me to find all the elder and second brothers back."
After saying that, Sang Ye no longer went to see the faces of his younger brother and father, and directly carried the machete and rope on his back and walked out of the main hall.
"Ye'er, wait for us, we'll go with you." Yu and Liu, who were originally taking care of their mother-in-law in the room, suddenly rushed out, with an anxious and firm expression on their faces.
My husband was gone, and I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Yu and Liu couldn't convince themselves to stay at home and wait for news. At this moment, their hearts were all gone. Whether it was my parents-in-law, sons and daughters, they were no longer in their hearts.
Sang Ye understood the thoughts of the two sisters-in-law and knew that even if she tried her best to stop it, it would be useless. So he nodded and pointed at the storage room and said, "You go and get a cosy sickle or stand up, we have to leave quickly."
Yu and Liu entered the utility room without hesitation. The next moment they came out, each of them had an extra hoe that could prevent slipping and use as a weapon.
Amid the worries of Sang Hushi Sang Yu and his son and the crying of the children, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law left the house cruelly and came straight to the big tree at the entrance of the village to meet with the others.
Among the group of people who arrived first were elderly people over 50 years old, children aged 11 or 2, and women like Mangye and others. Almost all families whose relatives had disappeared, at least two people came to each family.
It is rare that the Harrier Girl, who was crying continuously at the village chief's house, did not appear. When someone asked, someone sneered at him, and obviously he felt that the Harrier Girl was afraid of death and would not come.
If one person is missing, others don't care. If the sick and ill girl is really here, it will be a big deal.
What hurts, after all, under such circumstances, no one wants anyone to drag him down.
After everyone was here, Sang Ye specially counted the number of people. Including herself and her two sisters-in-law, there were a total of 38 people, twenty men, ten women, and eight and a half-old children.
Just as thirty-eight people were about to move towards the mountains, seven more men joined in. These seven men were no one else, Li Li and others who came back to report the news before.
Li Li and others joined in with guilt. Only seven of the twenty-five people who entered the mountain together came back. They could not convince themselves to stay at home with peace of mind. Seeing the relatives of the young people worried and anxious, they came!
In fact, Sang Ye and others who lost their relatives did not blame the seven people for not going there or why they did not stop their relatives. At this moment, the seven people entered with deep guilt. Sang Ye and others were also moved in in addition to being grateful.
On the way to the mountains, Sang Ye asked Li Li a lot of questions, and had a clearer understanding of the general direction of the disappearance of his brothers, and a clearer understanding of how dangerous the deep mountains covered by heavy snow was.
The mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles has no specific name. For thousands of years, people only know that a few often visited mountains have names and surnames. The surnames are still taken by themselves in the villages close to these mountains. After a long time, they will be called open.
No one who lives at the foot of the mountain knows where the starting point of the mountain range is and where the end point is. He only knows that it is very dangerous inside, with countless deep mountains and canyons, as well as countless birds and beasts.
The mountains are mysterious and dangerous, but they also continue to give generous gifts to the nearby people. Every year after the rain in late spring and early summer, people in the village like to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, pick wild fruits and herbs to exchange for silver in the town.
Just like the Sang family several years ago, if there was no such mountain, even if the little mulberry leaves were sold by themselves, they would have to maintain food and clothing. They would never use the money to buy land and build a house later.
