At Third Uncle’s house, Aunt trembled and opened her eyes. She looked at the unfamiliar roof beam and was stunned for a while before she remembered that she was in Madam Jiang’s room.
Yesterday, Ah Wan had gone missing and everyone had gone out to look for her. She stayed here to take care of Madam Jiang and the two children.
Little Bruiser and Little Zhenzhen were sleeping soundly, but Madam Jiang had disappeared.
Aunt’s heart was in her throat as she hurriedly went out to look for Madam Jiang. After taking a few steps, she bumped into Madam Jiang, who had entered from the back door of the hall.
Aunt said in fear, “Where did you go? When I woke up and saw that you weren’t there, I was scared to death!” God knows how she fell asleep? She clearly said that she would stay up all night.
Madam Jiang smiled. “I’m awake. I couldn’t sleep, so I took a walk.”
When Aunt saw the broken leaves and mud on her feet, her eyebrows twitched. “You went out?”
Madam Jiang smiled and said, “I went to the backyard to dig two bamboo shoots.”
Aunt was relieved. “The backyard. I was afraid that you would take things too hard and go up the mountain to look for Ah Wan. I know you’re worried about Ah Wan, but don’t do anything stupid. Someone’s looking for her. You’re not allowed to go alone, understand? Also, your health isn’t good, so don’t do these menial tasks. If you want to eat bamboo shoots, tell me. I’ll go dig!”
Madam Jiang smiled. “Got it, Sister-in-law.”
Aunt was still worried that she would sneak out and would not let her leave her sight no matter what. She carried a few corncobs to Madam Jiang’s room and peeled corn with her.
Unexpectedly, Madam Jiang fell asleep after peeling it twice.
Aunt was puzzled. “Didn’t you just wake up? Why are you sleeping again?”
… .
On the other hand, after Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao left the valley, they began to head towards Lotus Flower Village. Halfway there, they bumped into Hunter, the village headman, Shuanzi, and the others who had been searching for her all night.
No one noticed that Aunt Bai had entered the group.
The moment Aunt Bai shouted, the entire village knew that Yu Wan had been found by “Young Master Wan”. Of course, this was different from Guo Xianyue and Wang Mazi’s situation. The two of them didn’t touch each other’s bodies (they hugged for the entire night) and weren’t alone (as if). They were really innocent!
The two of them walked to their respective houses and returned to their room calmly. After closing the door, Shadow Thirteen told Yan Jiuchao about the leaf and the expert.
Shadow Six was also there. When he heard this, he thought for a while and said, “Could it be Yu Zigui? He was the one who caused Miss Yu to go down the cliff. He must be nearby.”
Shadow Thirteen shook his head. “I’ve fought Yu Zigui before. He’s indeed powerful, but…” It was not this kind of almost perverted power. It was very difficult to find another such expert in the Central Plains, and the first one was from the Demon Cult.
“Young Master, do we need to investigate thoroughly?” Shadow Thirteen asked warily.
Yan Jiuchao said casually, “There’s no need. Since the other party doesn’t have any ill intentions, don’t disturb their peace.”
Shadow Thirteen hesitated for a moment. “…Yes!”
… .
Yu Wan’s disappearance caused quite a stir in the village, especially the Yu family. They were all frightened.
Yu Feng frowned. “What did I tell you? Don’t go up the mountain alone. Have you forgotten?”
Aunt said earnestly, “That’s right, Ah Wan. Why are you so bold? The back mountain is so dangerous. Is it a place for a girl like you?”
Yu Wan could not tell them that she had fallen off the cliff because she had encountered Yu Zigui. The dangerous one was the man called Yu Zigui, not the back mountain that she had gone to countless times.
“I’ll be careful next time,” Yu Wan said.
“There’s a next time?” Aunt suddenly raised her voice. Thinking that Madam Jiang was sleeping, she hurriedly lowered her voice. “You guys, don’t go up the mountain anymore!”
Yu Feng said awkwardly, “Mother, there’s fish in the back mountain.”
Aunt shouted in a low voice, “You’re not allowed to go!”
Aunt was in a fit of anger. The siblings knew that they could not dissuade her, so they all listened obediently. As for how much they heard, it was unknown.
When Aunt was done berating them, she pointed to a stool at the side. “Sit down and eat.”
Yu Feng and Yu Wan tactfully sat down, but Yu Song walked out with a straight face.
Aunt stopped him. “Where are you going? Come back!”
Yu Song paused at the door, stubbornly refusing to return.
Yu Feng glanced at his brother and told them about Yu Song going down the cliff to look for Yu Wan. It was dark and Yu Song was hanging alone at the bottom of the cliff for half the night. If Yu Feng hadn’t forcefully dragged him up, he would still be hanging at the bottom of the cliff.
Yu Wan did not expect her second brother, who usually ignored her, to be so reckless at the critical moment.
Yu Wan felt a little warm in her heart. She stood up and walked behind Yu Song. She smiled and said, “Second Brother, how’s the wound on your head? Let me take a look.”
“What’s there to see?” Yu Song muttered and walked out.
“You!” Aunt was furious that her youngest son was opposing her.
Yu Wan grabbed Yu Song’s wrist and did not use much strength, but Yu Song’s body froze.
“Come in.” Yu Wan brought Yu Song into her room and gently pressed his shoulder.
Yu Song was easily pressed onto the stool by Yu Wan.
Yu Wan removed the gauze on his head. The wound had originally healed well, but it must have swollen again after falling off the cliff last night.
“Does it hurt, Second Brother?” Yu Wan asked softly.
“It doesn’t hurt,” Yu Song said expressionlessly.
Yu Wan opened the first aid kit, took out a pair of sterilized scissors, and removed the stitches for him. She applied a layer of cold ointment on him. “Second Brother, take the ointment back. You have to apply it once every morning and night. If your wound feels uncomfortable, it’s fine to apply it a few more times.”
Yu Song did not move.
Yu Wan stuffed the ointment into his hand.
Yu Song looked down at the ointment that was still warm from her fingertips. “He was also the one from that night, right?”
What night? What him? Who? Yu Wan was confused.
Yu Song did not say anything else and left with the ointment.
