The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1142 - Chapter 1142 1142

Chapter 1142: 1142 Chapter 1142: 1142 Despite Su Qingyue’s trust in Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yishan, she still felt very moved inside, “Let’s set aside the murder case for now.

Fourth brother, I urgently need to find second brother.”

No sooner had she spoken than she had quickly made her way to the fence next to second brother’s home and rapidly scaled it.

Xiao Qinghe watched her skillful speed, his eyes filled with even deeper confusion.

All was quiet in the yard next door.

As Su Qingyue leapt over the fence, she discovered to her surprise that Xiao Yishan, tall and robust, was also standing in the yard.

“Second brother?” she called out.

Xiao Yishan hadn’t seen her climbing over the wall; he had only heard Qinghe talking to someone from a distance, not clear enough to make out the words.

When he turned his head, however, he saw Yue’er.

He hurried over, “Yue’er, are you alright?”

Looking into his concerned eyes, Su Qingyue suddenly felt touched.

She was embroiled in a capital case.

In the eyes of most, she would certainly be someone to avoid, yet her second brother was so caring and trusting of her, making her feel that her long-standing respect for second brother was indeed not misplaced.

Although second brother was sometimes overly kind, he was still quite clever.

“Why haven’t I seen third brother?” His firm and handsome face was filled with concern, “Where have you and third brother been these past days?

I looked everywhere and couldn’t find you.”

“Second brother, third brother and I fell off a cliff, and at the bottom is a cold poolaEUR|” She briefly recounted the situation, “Third brother is still trapped on a wooden raft floating on the cold pool.

The pool has begun to freeze over, and with his size, he can’t get through the one-meter crack.

I urgently need people to help me widen that one-meter-deep fissure in the water.

Otherwise, if the pond continues to freeze, third brother will really die trapped in there.

There’s no food above the water to sustain him through the winter.

Even with tools, one person definitely can’t manage it alone; it will take at least six people taking turns to break through.

There’s no time to lose, and given my current involvement with the murder case, it’s not wise for me to appear in public.

Could you please help me find some people who are good swimmers and willing to get into the water in this harsh winter?

Offer them twenty taels of silver each.

If you can’t find anyone, you can increase the price, up to one hundred taels per person, or even more if necessary.”

Su Qingyue said everything in a single breath.

Xiao Yishan’s expression turned grave as he said, “I’ll take care of it immediately.”

“And on your way, make sure to find tools suitable for chiseling stone.

Don’t mention my involvement for now, just say that Chuan is in trouble, and let’s focus on rescuing him first.” She arranged to meet second brother at a place close to the pond but before reaching Black Mountain Cliff, which was not far from where third brother was trapped in the cliffside pool.

It so happened that second brother knew the place well.

Xiao Yishan nodded, “What about you?

Aren’t you coming with us?”

“You go first and wait for me there.

I’ll follow discreetly, and once we reach the agreed location, I’ll show myself.”

“But…

walking the night road alone, you might…”

“It’s fine, I can see.”

“Alright then.” Xiao Yishan immediately strode out of the yard.

“Brother Xiao, who’s there, so late at night…” Li Rong’er’s voice came from inside the house.

After changing out of her wet clothes earlier, Su Qingyue had brought several types of poison pills with her.

When she heard Li Rong’er’s voice, about to rise from the bed, she swiftly shot a pill through the paper window.

The pill landed on the floor next to the bed inside, releasing a strong fragrance.

Li Rong’er, who was initially getting up, sniffed the scent and immediately fell back to sleep.

Over an hour later, Su Qingyue saw second brother arriving with five men, each carrying tools like awls and hammers, as well as torches.
