Fortunately, the wolves really left, and the night passed peacefully. The next day, everyone's life returned to normal, and the charcoal that had burned out of the big fire was dealt with.
Nan Nan also took the remaining wild boars and headed towards Xianyou Town. Master Fang also went with them, after all, he had to return to the county government to take care of things.
Fang Xiaoxi also started to take out the books that Nan Nan had moved over yesterday and started to read them. This was a task assigned by the master, so she had to complete it well.
Ling Yuanbao followed Master Ye to the mountain and settled down temporarily, staying here for a few days. It was just quiet here, but the Ling family in Xianyou Town was very lively.
The guards who were thrown at the door of the Ling family by Nan Nan's men last night brought extremely bad news to the Ling family. Master Ling did not sleep the whole night and was extremely anxious and angry.
He finally made it to dawn and headed towards Fangjia Village with all the guards in his family. He wanted to take people to the village to find his son.
These guards all came back with injuries. Master Ling found a doctor for them last night, and they were still needed to lead the way today, so the guards were carried out one by one on stretchers.
The Ling family's incident was a big deal. It spread all over Xianyou Town early in the morning, and everyone was discussing it. Someone reminded Master Ling: "Master, shouldn't we go to the government office to report the case? Let the government's people go to the mountains to help look for it. After all, if a big beast like a tiger appears, we need to report it to the government office."
That's true. In the past, if an animal as big as a tiger appeared in a mountain and caused trouble for people, it was necessary to report to the government office, and then the government office would come forward, find people, and kill the tiger.
After being reminded by the servant, Master Ling came to his senses instantly and went to the government office immediately. Even better, Master Fang had just arrived at the government office and he immediately went to greet him.
"Master Fang, wait a moment. I have something to report. A tiger appeared in your village, Fangjia Village. Did you know that?"
Fangjia Village? Master Fang was stunned: "I live in Fangjia Village, I haven't heard that there are tigers there."
It was also wolves that came last night, how could it be tigers! Master Ling was stunned: "You live in Fangjia Village, there are no tigers? There are wild animals coming down the mountain."
Master Fang saw several people being carried on stretchers and raised his eyebrows: "A pack of wolves came down the mountain last night. It was these people who stole the white wolf's cubs. What are you going to do now?"
Master Ling sighed, "My son has gone to the mountains with his mischief and got separated from his guards. I still need to find my child. So I came to the government office to report the whereabouts of Tiger. I hope the government office can send some runners to help find him."
Master Fang sensed that the son that Master Ling was talking about should be the fat man he saw yesterday: "Your family really values that child."
Before he could finish, a pregnant woman ran over and said, "Master, the mountain is so dangerous, there are tigers there, how can you go there? Are you not going to care about us? I am pregnant with your child too."
Master Fang raised his eyebrows. This woman didn't look like the original wife. At this time, another woman also came up.
"Master, you have been here for a while. If you don't want to go, then I will take them there. I must go to find my son. Second Aunt is right. Master is weak, so it is better not to go up the mountain."
Master Ling frowned, Ling Yuanbao was his first child and he had always doted on him, so how could he not go look for him
Looking at the Second Aunt, he said, "Since it's not easy for you to get pregnant, I won't bother with you. Get out of the way quickly. I want to go find my son. Master Fang, can you send someone?"
Nan Nan hadn't had time to go to the restaurant yet. Thinking of Ling Yuanbao's family, who seemed to care about Ling Yuanbao, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, send a few yamen runners to go with us. There was indeed a tiger yesterday, but the tiger had no intention of hurting anyone. You can go and ask Master Ye for help when you get there."
Although Master Ling didn't know who Nan Nan was, he was still very grateful that Nan Nan was speaking for him: "Thank you, young master."
Master Fang nodded and told a few yamen runners: "Forget it, Captain Liu, I'll trouble you."
Captain Liu was going, so Zi Jiang would naturally follow him. Liu Yifang nodded and said, "Master Fang, don't worry. I will find the tiger."
Nan Nan rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? I've already said that Tiger didn't mean to hurt anyone, why are you looking for him? The person you need to help find now is Ling Yuanbao, the son of Mr. Ling. Go to Master Ye and see him, maybe he can help you calculate!"
After reminding him again, Nan Nan turned and entered the backyard of the county government office. Liu Yifang understood what Nan Nan meant. It seemed that clues could be found from Master Ye.
He turned to look at Master Ling: "Master Ling, let's go."
Liu Yifang knew the way to Fangjia Village, after all, he had been there several times. He brought a few injured people on stretchers, mainly for going into the mountains.
It took the group half an hour to reach Fangjia Village. Fang Xiaoxi was reading a book at home. When she heard the hustle and bustle outside, she naturally wanted to come out as well.
Seeing Fang Xiaoxi, Liu Yifang went up to her and spoke to her: "Miss Fang."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "What are you doing?"
Liu Yifang told the story again, and Master Ling came over: "Captain, let's go find someone first. I can't wait to find my son. My son got lost in the mountains. I don't know how scared he must be!"
Fang Xiaoxi looked at the fat old man in front of her and suddenly understood something. Maybe Ling Yuanbao’s fatness was not a problem, but maybe it was just that fat people were hereditary in his family
Didn’t you see that there was a fat woman standing over there? She looked a bit like Ling Yuanbao, so she should be Ling Yuanbao’s mother.
"Brother Liu, please go to Master Ye. Master Ling should be there."
Liu Yifang nodded: "Okay, I'll take them there now."
Seeing that they were finally about to enter the mountain, Master Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would indeed be more convenient with someone from the government office leading the way.
As they walked, they arrived at the villa. Master Ye was still lying on the tree trunk with a piece of grass in his mouth. Ling Yuanbao was standing under the tree, talking to Master Ye.
Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling saw Ling Yuanbao at a glance, and they ran towards him directly: "Yuanbao, are you okay? Didn't you get lost in the mountains? Why did these people go back and say that you got lost in the mountains? What happened?"
Ling Yuanbao was just a child, and he had been frightened so much. Now he suddenly saw his parents, and tears of grievance flowed down his face instantly: "Dad, Mom, I almost didn't get to see you this time."
"These dogs wanted to kill me. If I hadn't been lucky this time and met Fang Xiaoxi and the others who went up the mountain to hunt and saved me, you would never see me again."
Hearing Ling Yuanbao talking about the seriousness of the matter, he immediately became serious: "Bao'er, what's going on? Who is Miss Fang? Since you are fine, why don't you go home?"
Ling Yuanbao looked at Master Ling and said, "I dare not go home until I find out who harmed me. I am afraid that after I go back, those villains will harm me again if their plan fails."
Master Ling nodded: "That makes sense. Tell me in detail what happened? Why did you disappear?"
Ling Yuanbao did not hide it: "I set out with the servants. After we reached the top of the mountain, I walked slowly. Then they saw a rabbit and sped up to chase it. They all went after it. I even accidentally fell into a big pit."
Master Ling and Madam Ling were so angry that they almost died. These guys asked them to follow them up the mountain to protect the young master, but they actually left him behind. It was obvious that these guys did it on purpose, and Master Ling was a little angry.
"Bao'er, are they all gone, leaving you alone?"
Ling Yuanbao nodded: "Yes, they all left, leaving me alone. I was in the pit, very scared, and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Xiao Xiaobao went to lead Miss Fang over, and then we encountered a big tiger."
Mrs. Ling was really heartbroken. Her son was first thrown into a pit and was very scared. A girl came to save him, but then a tiger came. It was really terrifying to hear that.
"What happened next? What happened next?"
Ling Yuanbao was also a little confused when he thought of this: "After the tiger came, it focused on Miss Fang and walked towards her. Before it got close, Nan Nan came. Then, together with Master Ye, they drove the tiger away."
Master Ye was still on the tree at this time! Ling Yuanbao pointed at the tree and said, "This is Master Ye."
Mr. Ling naturally knew Master Ye. After all, he was a wealthy local tycoon, and he had visited Master Ye's place quite often to seek for spiritual healing powers.
"Thank you Master Ye for saving my child."
Master Ye glanced at Master Ling and said, "Master Ling, you are too polite. I just did it for the sake of convenience. But if you don't solve the problem of attracting beast powder, it will be difficult for you to grow up."
Beast attracting powder? Master Ling and Madam Ling hadn't heard Ling Yuanbao say this yet! They asked Ling Yuanbao now. After Ling Yuanbao finished speaking, Master Ling was furious.
"That's what I thought! I took you out hunting, but you had this purpose in mind, wanting to harm my son. Where is that person?"
The one Mr. Ling was talking about was Ling Yuanbao's cousin, who was going to take Ling Yuanbao out hunting. He was Mr. Ling's younger brother. But Mr. Ling couldn't understand why his younger brother would do such a thing.
A guard quickly spoke up: "The second master also got separated on the mountain."
