Chapter 321 How to find the person?
They hadn't gone far when another group passed by the place they had just gone through, except that the other group was going to Linjiang City instead of following them.
"Young master, Linjiang City is just ahead. Shall we go in tonight?"
"No need. Let's find a place to rest outside and go in after tonight. Take two people in to take a look first..."
He finally arrived in Linjiang City. The grain he had previously lost was lost, and not only did he fail to achieve any merit upon returning, he was also scolded. Later, he was confined to the palace for other reasons.
Thinking about what had happened before, Zhao Li was so angry that his teeth itched. Everything was going smoothly, but things would turn into a mess at the appointed time.
He had done so much to find that woman, but in the end, he was just a little short.
With just that little bit of information, he was able to find that woman!
But this matter ran into trouble; every time they were close to finding it, they would return empty-handed.
When Scarface led Red Phosphorus and the others back on horseback, they found that no one was on the mountain.
The residents on the mountain and Hua Niang, no one knows where they've gone.
Cui Dazhu searched all the nearby houses and found that everything inside was still there, but the people were gone.
"Everything inside is still there, but the people are gone. We don't know where they went."
"Do you think they might..." Cui Dazhu wanted to say whether they might have also fled the famine, but he stopped halfway through his sentence, because there was one possibility that was simply impossible.
If they really fled the famine, why are all the things in the house still there?
Even if so many people were to leave, they could easily take everything out of the house; there was no way they would leave anything behind.
After hearing what Cui Dazhu said, Scarface's face darkened.
"Should they have had such a heavy journey? And were they forced to walk it?"
You can tell from the surrounding environment that they left just in the last few days.
Upon hearing this, Cui Dazhu looked at Scarface in surprise: "Forced to leave here, why?"
"What else could it be? Of course, there's danger coming knocking. Otherwise, who would want to leave their home?"
Honglin said this through gritted teeth, but it's true, anyone who went out and came back to find their home gone would probably not be happy.
"Where did they go? Where are they now? How can we find them?"
As they were talking, Cui Dazhu suddenly thought of that place, and he took off running up it. In no time, he arrived at the ravine behind the mountain.
Scarface and the others didn't know what he was going to do, so they could only follow him up the mountain and watch him jump off the ravine.
His action startled the two people behind him. They saw him jump down and rushed over, only to see him jump down safely and then disappear into a crevice.
Scarface and Red Phosphorus saw a path below and jumped down together, arriving at the spot where Cui Dazhu had just stood.
I walked in following that location, and before I even got inside, I could hear sounds coming from inside.
"Dazhu! Why are you only just getting back? Were you delayed on the way?"
"How did it go? Do you know if they encountered any danger?"
As soon as Cui Dazhu entered, he saw the people on the mountain looking at them all, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
After looking around and not finding Hua Niang and the others, he looked at Liu Ergou beside him and asked, "Why are you all here?"
"Where did Hua Niang and the others go? Why aren't those girls with you?"
Upon hearing the question, Liu Ergou recounted everything that had happened that day. Just then, Honglin and the others walked in from outside. Upon hearing what Liu Ergou said, Honglin's expression immediately changed.
"What did you say? You said something happened to Hua Niang and the others?"
It turned out that two days after Honglin left that day, people came from the foot of the mountain. They thought they were refugees, so they let them stay. But when Hua Niang came back, she said that the people could not be kept and that they should be driven away.
But they wouldn't listen at all and insisted on keeping that person here. In the end, they even went against Hua Niang and said a lot of nasty things, just refusing to let that person leave.
Hua Niang knew they wouldn't listen to her advice, so that night she secretly knocked the man unconscious and prepared to throw him down the mountain, but someone else happened to see it.
That night, despite the freezing weather, they made a scene outside for most of the night. In the end, they kept the person there, and Hua Niang got angry.
"So those of you who stayed behind betrayed you and forced you to come here?"
"You brought the fruit yourselves, so why should Flower Girl and my sisters have to come?"
"You're all here safe and sound, but where are my sisters? Where are they now?"
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this, because they had no idea where Hua Niang and the others were.
The reason they came here was because Hua Niang brought them here, but after they arrived, Hua Niang left with Hong Xiu and the others.
We still haven't seen Hua Niang and the others return.
After hearing what Liu Ergou said, Honglin wished she could kill them all, but she knew she couldn't do that now.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at those people and said, "Hua Niang can protect herself, and so can Hong Xiu and the others. Even if they bring Xiao Lingdang, there won't be any problems."
"But they haven't come back after all this time, something must have happened along the way. If it weren't for you, would they have needed to do this?"
After listening, Cui Dazhu didn't know what to say. He knew that the people on the mountain were all kind-hearted and wanted to help others.
However, they did not expect that someone would take advantage of this and use their sympathy to infiltrate their ranks. Now it's too late to say anything; what's done is done, and blaming them here is useless!
Cui Dazhu looked at Hong Lin beside him and said, "Miss Lin, now is not the time to investigate. We need to find Hua Niang and the others first. Maybe they are waiting for us to find them in that place."
"What are you looking for? How are we supposed to look for it? It's freezing cold here, tell me how are we supposed to look for it?"
Moreover, several days have passed since this incident, and even if there were any clues, they would probably be covered by snow. How are they supposed to find the person?
Scarface, who hadn't said a word, looked at Liu Ergou, then at the people behind him, and suddenly asked, "You've been here for so many days, what have you been eating? What have you been using?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and Honglin then noticed that they were all wearing their usual padded jackets.
