Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 39 Danger, Going into the Mountains to Find Someone

There were already some villagers waiting at the foot of the mountain. When they saw the three people carrying their backpacks full of things, they were a little surprised and looked into their baskets. Wow, they were full of fresh green...weeds?

"Er Ya, Qing Nian, what are those things in your backpacks? There are so many. Can we eat them?"

When the village chief's wife Liu Jinhua saw what was in the three people's backpacks, she was stunned for a moment and then asked.

"Aunt, this is Artemisia selengensis, fresh and tender, very delicious, can be used to make wild vegetable pancakes and green rice dumplings"

Luo Erya said what Yao Qingnian had said, as if she had already eaten the delicious wild vegetables.

"Aunt, I'll make some for you to try when I get home tonight."

"Okay, then go back and make some for us to try tonight. If it tastes good, we can use this for the Cold Food Festival."

"no problem."

Yao Qingnian agreed, and villagers came down from the mountain one after another, and everyone brought back more or less wild vegetables. At three quarters after noon, Liu Jinhua began to count whether everyone had arrived.

"Everyone, look around to see if there's anyone who hasn't come back yet?"

"no"

Everyone looked at each other, and didn't notice anyone was missing.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go back to the village. Everyone has worked hard this morning."

Liu Jinhua asked everyone to go home. Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Jinhua, it seems that Widow Wang has not returned."

"What? Widow Wang, are you there?"

Liu Jinhua shouted, but no one responded.

"Will you go back first?"

In the morning, the villagers watched Widow Wang go into the mountains.

"Well, everyone go back first. I'll wait here. It's possible that she got delayed on the way. You go to Widow Wang's house and then send someone to tell me."

Liu Jinhua stayed where she was and waited, asking everyone to go back first. They were all from the same village, and she would be hard-pressed to explain if anything happened. To be on the safe side, it was better to wait a little longer.

"I'll wait here with you"

“I’ll stay too.”

Yao Qingnian stayed, and when Luo Erya saw this, she also stayed spontaneously.

"I have to go back first, sister-in-law. If I go back late, my mother will scold me again."

"Okay, you go back first!"

Lu Shuangshuang said goodbye to Yao Qingnian and went home.

It was almost the hour of Wei, and Widow Wang had not returned yet. Someone from the village was sent to say that she had not gone back.

Liu Jinhua was worried that something might have happened to Widow Wang, so she asked the messenger to notify the village chief to bring people over, and she and Yao Qingnian would go to the mountains to take a look first.

"Er Ya, go back first. Aunt Jin Hua and I will look around the outside of the mountain. If you see the village chief, tell him."

It is not convenient to go into the mountains with so many people, and they are all women. It would be even more troublesome if something happened. She is a martial artist, and this matter is a small matter for her, but she can't take care of it when there are too many people.

"Okay, be careful."

Luo Erya understood what Yao Qingnian meant and decided not to cause trouble.

Liu Jinhua and Yao Qingnian walked in the direction where Widow Wang went up the mountain.

The two walked along the road to the top of the mountain, shouting as they walked. Their shouts could be heard in the mountains, but there was no response from Widow Wang.

After climbing over another mountain, there was still no sign of Widow Wang. Going further would mean entering the deep mountains, and Liu Jinhua was already feeling a little tired.

"Aunt, you take a rest here. I'll go ahead and take a look. Widow Wang may have gone deep into the mountains."

Yao Qingnian looked at the ground and saw traces of footsteps. She judged that the silly woman, Widow Wang, must have walked in this direction.

"Qing Nian, there are deep mountains ahead, so let's not go there. Let's go back and wait for your Uncle Dagang."

Liu Jinhua was worried and told Yao Qingnian not to go.

"Aunt, while it's still early, I'll go in and take a look until the village chief and the others come. It will be troublesome if it gets dark."

Yao Qingnian has the space in her hands, so she can hide when she encounters danger. She doesn't want to care about the life or death of Widow Wang, but Liu Jinhua has taken care of the Lu family, and she is the village chief's daughter-in-law, so she will be implicated if something happens.

"Qing Nian!"

Yao Qingnian did not hesitate and continued walking forward along the traces of footsteps on the roadside.

"Widow Wang, if you hear anything, make a sound!"

Yao Qingnian walked for about a quarter of an hour, but still did not see Widow Wang. The trees above his head blocked out the sun, and the deep mountains were a little eerie at this time.

Yao Qingnian followed the trail and found a clue in a dense forest. There were traces of footsteps all around, but it suddenly disappeared in one place.

Yao Qingnian walked forward and found a pit. The pit was very well hidden and covered with vegetation, and she almost fell into it.

Looking inside, he saw Widow Wang fainted in the pit.

"Widow Wang!"

Yao Qingnian shouted a few times, but Widow Wang did not respond. It seemed that she had fainted.

The pit was quite deep. Yao Qingnian took out the equipment rope for the mission from the space and jumped into the pit.

After getting into the pit, Yao Qingnian first checked Widow Wang and found that she had injured her head and legs. Fortunately, the vegetation provided a cushion and she was only unconscious.

She took out some medicine powder and sprinkled it on Widow Wang, then gave her an injection. Only then did Widow Wang regain consciousness and wake up.

"Yao Qingnian, why are you here?"

Widow Wang thought she was dreaming. She remembered that she was chasing a pheasant towards this side, and the pheasant was injured. But while chasing, she seemed to fall somewhere and then fainted.

"I should be the one asking you this. Why did you come to this deep forest for no reason? It took us so long to find you."

Widow Wang made sure that she was not dreaming and then looked around. She unexpectedly did not die after falling from such a height. It was a close call.

"Would you be so kind as to rescue me?"

Widow Wang and Yao Qingnian don't get along on weekdays, and everyone in the village knows it. Now that Yao Qingnian comes to save her, she won't believe anything he says.

"How about you stay here overnight?"

Yao Qingnian put the rope around Widow Wang.

"Why did you tie me up? Yao Qingnian, are you planning to take advantage of the fact that no one is around to attack me? I'm telling you, if you do that, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Widow Wang thought Yao Qingnian wanted to kidnap her.

"Just shut up! Don't you want to go back? If you don't want to go back, I'll leave first. Sorry, I won't keep you company."

After Yao Qingnian finished speaking, he prepared to go up by himself. Widow Wang looked at the dense trees above her head, felt a little scared, and hugged Yao Qingnian tightly.

"Don't go, I won't say anything!"

Widow Wang shut up obediently, she was afraid that Yao Qingnian would really abandon her.

Yao Qing leaped up and took Widow Wang out of the deep pit. He threw her on the ground, put away his equipment and put it back into the space, saying, "Widow Wang, it's time to lose weight!"

Widow Wang was frightened by Yao Qingnian's action. Did she... know Kung Fu? No wonder she kicked herself off the ox cart last time. It seemed that she should not mess with this woman next time and should stay away from her.

Widow Wang was injured, and Yao Qingnian could only support her and walk slowly to the outskirts of the mountain. It was already dark at this time, and they could only move forward slowly based on their memory of the way here. From time to time, the howling of wolves could be heard in the forest. Widow Wang swallowed hard, a chill struck her heart, and she suppressed the shivering and stayed close to Yao Qingnian.

Fortunately, as soon as we reached the outskirts of the mountain, we met the village chief and his friends who were looking for someone. They ran towards us with torches in their hands.

When Widow Wang saw the village chief coming, she was so excited that she fainted as she was already injured and exhausted.

"how's it going?"

The village chief looked at the two of them with a worried look on his face. When he heard that Widow Wang had not returned, he immediately took people into the mountains to look for her. Now that it was getting dark, he thought something must have happened.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the two figures appeared in front of him.

"She had injuries to her legs and head, nothing serious."

"It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's go back first."

The village chief asked the villagers to help take turns carrying Widow Wang down the mountain.
