Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Inciting to Enter the Mountain
The family huddled together to wash their faces and feet when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhao Tianlei got up to see who it could be.
"Uncle, has my father not come back yet?"
The person outside was Daya, the daughter of Zhao Tianxiang and Sister-in-law Zhao, and she was already eleven years old.
"Where did your dad go?"
In the winter, everyone mostly huddled at home.
Although the team organized ditch digging every year, it was done on a rotational basis.
It was not the turn for the eldest brother to go this year.
"My mom said my dad went into the mountain with my second uncle, but it’s getting dark, and they haven’t come back?"
He went into the mountain with Laoer?
"Uncle..."
Zhao Tianlei immediately said to Daya, whose eyes were red, "Daya, you go back first. Uncle will go into the mountain to look for them, and tell your mom not to worry."
"I’ll go get a flashlight right now."
Daya nodded, believing that if uncle went into the mountain to look for dad, he would definitely be found.
The commotion outside was also heard by Yun Xiaoxiao and her two children.
"Wife, I’m stepping out for a moment. Lock the door well and go to sleep early."
If they hadn’t come back so late, it’s certain something had happened.
"Alright, be careful yourself," Yun Xiaoxiao could not stop Zhao Tianlei from going out.
"Mom, did uncle and the others go hunting in the mountains?"
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded and told them to sleep in their shoes.
"That’s why the back mountain is dangerous; adults dare not enter, and you children should not even think about trying it, do you hear me?"
Xiao Bao, puzzled, said, "But Brother Er Dan goes into the mountain every day."
"Your brother Er Dan stays at the foot of the mountain; he doesn’t venture deep."
She led the two little ones to bed.
Zhao Tianlei, with flashlight in hand, went out to call Zhao Tianhe, and the two headed into the mountain together.
"They’ve really got some nerve; I dare to go into the mountain because I have you, Third Brother," Zhao Tianhe, upon learning about the situation, couldn’t help but want to curse.
If it wasn’t for seeing Third Brother’s grim face, he really would have cursed.
It’s fine to look around the edge of the mountain; entering deeper is courting death.
"Third Brother, it must be Second Cousin who egged our elder cousin on to go into the mountain."
Of course, that’s what Zhao Tianlei thought.
Before venturing into the mountains, one should consider one’s capabilities.
If Zhao Tianhai had such ability, he would have boasted about it long ago. How could he keep his head down just to earn work points?
He would have floated away by now.
"He’s asking for another beating."
Indeed, Zhao Tianlei had beaten Zhao Tianhai before and did not hesitate because he was his brother.
"Third Brother, let’s hurry."
The mountain was vast, and now that darkness had fallen, even searching for someone there was a danger to them.
Sister-in-law Zhao felt her heart in her throat, worried something had happened to Daya’s father. If something did happen, how would their family cope?
Their family was still in debt from the famine.
Da Shu’s mother had been waiting and waiting until it got dark outside and finally felt something was amiss.
They didn’t have a flashlight at home, and they still hadn’t returned. Could something have happened?
She panicked all at once and immediately sought her in-laws first.
After enjoying meat for two meals today, Mrs. Zhao and Captain Zhao were planning to go to bed early.
But then they heard knocking at the door.
"Who is it?" Captain Zhao put on his cotton-padded jacket to answer the door.
"Dad, something terrible has happened, hasn’t it?"
Something happened?
What could have happened?
"Brother Xiao Hai went into the mountain, and he still hasn’t come back?"
Captain Zhao took a sharp breath. They went into the mountain and hadn’t come back?
What skills does Laoer have that he, as a father, wouldn’t know about?
And he dared to venture into the mountain thinking he’s brave enough?
Did he think he was like Third Brother?
"How long have they been gone?"
Da Shu’s mother, crying and wailing, said immediately, "They’ve been in the mountains since the afternoon."
