Chapter 851 Going into the mountains to find someone
Sun Laohai had already panicked. Seeing that Zhuang Laotou hadn't agreed yet, he knelt down with a 'plop'.
"Brother Lu, Erhe has also gone up the mountain. Please help us!"
From now on, our whole family will be eternally grateful to you.
If you say go east, we will never go west.
Beside him, Sun Dahai initially felt that this was somewhat coercive and didn't dare to speak up.
But now, seeing his father kneeling down, and thinking about how his younger brother is doing now, he wonders what has become of him.
He also knelt on the ground, looking at Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang with a pleading expression.
When Lu Qingqing saw that the group of men behind her were about to kneel as well, she quickly spoke up to stop them.
"Alright, let's go find them."
However, we can't guarantee whether we'll be able to find them.
Uncle Wu and Sun Laohai thanked her repeatedly when she agreed.
Old Zhuang, however, did not give him a friendly look.
Seeing that she agreed to this, I was a little worried.
Lu Qingqing patted his shoulder reassuringly and saw the villagers out.
Actually, she agreed after considering many factors.
On the one hand, they will live in Fushan Town until spring.
If things really fall out with the Sun family, it will be troublesome.
On the other hand, the books that Uncle Wu had given them before were indeed of great value.
Although, I don't know how Qin Lang figured that out.
But look at his confident expression.
In addition, those books, with their yellowed pages, should be genuine.
Furthermore, when they finished copying the book and tried to return the original copy, the two elders refused to accept it.
Therefore, the original copies of those books are still with them.
These books are truly family heirlooms that can be passed down through generations.
Even the version she and Qin Lang copied was still very useful.
When she returns to Baoshan Town, she will give the things to Prince Huai.
He'll inevitably have to bleed a little.
I haven't been back for so long, I wonder if he's come up with any new gadgets over there.
Besides the two points mentioned above, Sun Erhe was very attentive when he helped them build the stables.
That kid is a real go-getter, and he's willing to put in the effort when he works.
At the time, I got along well with them.
She couldn't bear to watch that boy perish in the mountains.
After deciding to go out, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang began packing their things.
After giving Sun Yue a few instructions, Old Zhuang also helped tidy up.
In addition to preparing lanterns and dry food, items such as oilcloth and water bags should also be brought along.
Old Zhuang found the water bag and hot water bottle, and filled them with boiling water before they left.
It's too cold to go out at night. Even if they wear thick cotton clothes, they will still freeze after a while.
These hot water bags and hot water bottles, filled with hot water, can keep you warm for a long time when placed inside a cotton-padded coat.
When Lu Qingqing went out, she drove a horse-drawn carriage.
This time, it was still Little White pulling the cart.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Uncle Wu was already there with the men who had gone out to look for people.
Worried that the person they found might be unable to move due to frostbite, Uncle Lao Wu sent all the horses over.
Among them, Sun Laohai and his son Sun Dahai each drove a car.
Lu Qingqing didn't say much and took the lead.
A cold wind howled, causing the lanterns at the front of the car to sway violently.
Seeing that Xiaobai was walking steadily, Qin Lang handed the hot water bottle in his arms to Lu Qingqing.
He then pulled off the thick quilt covering his body, stood up, and tried to take the lantern down.
The moment he stood up, the wind and snow blew into his face.
Snowflakes landed on thick eyelashes and the exposed skin around the eyes, melting from body heat and trickling down the cheeks.
He squinted as he took the lantern down, blew out the candle inside, and sat back on the sled.
In just a short while, all the heat on my body was blown away.
Lu Qingqing put the hot water bottle back into his arms and then brushed the snow off his body and hat.
Qin Lang felt better after he took the hot water bottle back into his arms.
Listening to the howling wind outside, the two slowly made their way towards Dongshan.
Behind him, Sun Laohai didn't receive the same treatment as Qin Lang.
The horse he was driving wasn't as clever as Little White; it really needed to be driven.
He is standing on the sled, holding the reins with both hands to control the direction.
He had only been out of Fushan Town for a short while, and his head and shoulders were already covered in a layer of snow.
The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, lashed against him, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
The cotton-padded clothes he was wearing had long been soaked through by the cold wind.
Thinking of his son who might freeze to death in the mountains, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
The people driving the cart behind us were also children who had secretly gone into the mountains to escape.
The situation is pretty much the same now.
In the cold, dark night, time seemed to stretch on endlessly.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at Dongshan.
After stopping the car, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang quickly set up a simple snow shelter for Xiaobai.
Then, they lit a fire for it and provided it with food and water.
After finishing their work, Sun Laohai and the others beside him were extremely anxious.
Seeing that they had finally finished their work, they hurriedly headed into the mountains.
Only one man remained by the fire, watching over the scene.
Before long, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Qin Lang called out to the group who were in a hurry to go into the mountain and took out the rope they were carrying.
After tying the belt around everyone's waist, he directed the group to continue moving forward.
He and Lu Qingqing walked at the front of the procession, carrying lanterns.
Observe the footprints on the ground as you move forward.
When they reached the same fork in the road as before, they raised their hands to signal the people behind them to stop.
He and Lu Qingqing each took a small path, carefully clearing away the layer of snow that had just fallen on the road.
After searching for a while, they found footprints on both sides of the road.
The two even compared the footprints, and found that they were different sizes from theirs.
This suggests that the two groups of people who went into the mountains most likely went in different directions.
Lu Qingqing shared her guess with Sun Laohai and the others behind her.
After hearing this, they were at a loss for what to do.
Logically, in this situation, the troops should split into two groups to rescue people separately.
But as they ventured into the mountains, they discovered something.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang have extensive experience in going into the mountains.
Whether it's the rope tied around your waist, or observing the snow surface and determining direction, etc.
These are experiences they were unaware of.
Sun Laohai even suspected that if they went into the mountains alone, they might not be able to get out safely.
Therefore, when Ganzi's father suggested splitting into two groups, he refused outright.
Having lived with these villagers for many years, he was somewhat worried that something might happen to them.
He then shared his guesses with the others.
Ganzi's father was extremely anxious.
When they heard that they were looking for the person themselves, they not only couldn't find them, but they also couldn't find them.
There's also the possibility that when they too perish in the mountains, they will fall silent.
In the end, I decided to go with the two of them.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang had also chosen their direction.
Based on the footprints on the ground, they chose the right side where the footprints were slightly smaller.
After all, those kids entered the mountains much earlier than the villagers who came later.
