Hearing this, the beautiful woman shed tears again: "Xiao Shi is in danger, she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, Yu Tang and Xiao Jiu are also missing, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have taken them to the Ruan family."
"Don't blame yourself. Maybe they are blessed by fate and will come back safely in a few days." At this point, this was the only way he could comfort her.
On the other side, the sky in the forest gradually darkened. As it darkened, the Guo family's team also stopped.
"Let's rest here tonight! Xinning, arrange people to take turns to keep watch. Xinjie, take a few people to pick up some branches nearby." The middle-aged man said, handing the tasks over to them, and then sat cross-legged under the tree with the old man to practice.
Guo Xinning arranged the people to keep watch, while another young man took a few people to collect branches. When he passed by Xie Yutang and the other three, he stopped and said to Fengjiu, "Boy, you come along too."
“Okay.” Fengjiu responded, stood up and said to Xie Yutang and his sister, “You guys take a break, I’ll go pick up some branches.” Then she followed them.
"Just pick them up around here! Don't go too far." Guo Xinjie said as he leaned against a tree with his arms folded across his chest to take a rest.
Fengjiu picked up a bunch of branches and prepared to go back. However, when she was about to go back, Guo Xinjie, who was resting under the tree, walked up to her.
“Boy, this is not enough. Go pick up some more. I’ll take these back first.” He reached out and took the branches that Fengjiu had picked up. He glanced at Fengjiu provocatively and said, “What are you looking at? Go quickly!”
Looking at the branches he took away, Fengjiu said nothing and turned around to continue picking up branches. Seeing this, the man sneered and then winked at the others, and they went back first.
The branches around her had been picked up by others, so if she wanted to pick up enough branches for tonight, she would have to walk further away. So, after looking back, she also walked further away.
In the resting place, Xie Yutang couldn't help but feel worried when he saw that the others had returned but Fengjiu hadn't. He looked back and wanted to look for her, but he was worried about leaving his sister here alone.
"Where did Fengjiu go? Why did she come back?" He whispered, and stood up and walked around unable to sit still.
"Brother, why don't you go and take a look! Don't let him go too far alone, it's dangerous." Xie Shisi said, feeling a little worried.
"But you..." His sister's foot injury has not healed yet. How can he feel at ease letting her stay here alone
"Yutang, what's wrong?" Guo Xinning came over after arranging his affairs. Seeing the worried look on the faces of the Xie brothers and sisters, he glanced around and saw that the young man in green was nowhere to be seen, so he asked, "Where's Fengjiu?"
"Brother Guo." The two called out.
Xie Yutang said: "I just followed them to pick up branches, but the others came back, but Fengjiu hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried."
Hearing this, Guo Xinning said, "I'll go ask." He walked towards the young man who was sitting under the tree and chatting and laughing with several other men, and asked, "Xinjie, where is Fengjiu? Didn't he go with you to pick up branches? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
