Chapter 620: Grandpa Sun Has Not Come Back Yet
The tea was poured cup after cup, and the three of them drank cup after cup. Wang Xianye went to the toilet one after another, but there was no news of Grandpa Sun coming back!
Sun Sheng specifically told the neighbor across the street from Grandpa Sun that if Grandpa Sun returned home, he must notify him immediately!
But in the end, they had been waiting for several hours, and it was almost dark. Sun Sheng even called his neighbors several times to inquire about the situation, but there was still no news that Grandpa Sun had returned!
Wang Xianye couldn't wait any longer and asked anxiously, "Is anything wrong with Grandpa Sun?"
After being asked this by Wang Xianye, Sun Sheng began to worry!
He quickly took out his cell phone and called Grandpa Sun's neighbor again.
"Hey! Ergui, is Grandpa Sun back?"
"Not yet? It's already dark, why haven't you come back yet?"
After hearing the news that Grandpa Sun had not returned, Gu Chang and Wang Xianye could no longer sit still! They began to feel a little worried, wondering if Grandpa Sun had encountered any danger or difficulties.
"In the past, when Uncle Sun went to collect herbs, did he ever not come back after dark?" Gu Chang thought for a moment and asked with a frown.
“Hmm…” Sun Sheng hesitated for a moment. “When Grandpa Sun was young, I heard that sometimes he would go to the mountains to collect herbs and would not come back for several days!”
"But since he got older, he only comes back on the same day when he goes to the mountains to collect herbs!" Sun Sheng continued, his tone revealing his concern for Grandpa Sun's age.
"That's right. Grandpa Sun hasn't stayed overnight in the mountains to collect herbs for more than ten or twenty years! And in recent years, he usually comes back around three or four in the afternoon!" Ergui on the other end of the phone also said affirmatively.
"Then I think we should go look for Grandpa Sun!" Gu Chang said with a serious expression, feeling more and more uneasy.
"Yes, it's dark now, it's too unsafe for Grandpa Sun to be alone in the mountains!" Wang Xianye echoed.
"Ah? You mean..." Sun Sheng looked at Gu Chang and said worriedly, "Is it possible that something happened to Grandpa Sun?"
"Yes! I think there is a high probability that Grandpa Sun had an accident!"
Gu Chang nodded solemnly and replied in a heavy tone: "After all, when you are old, it is easy to have an accident if you go to the rugged places in the deep mountains and forests!"
Hearing this, Wang Xianye on the side also echoed and said: "That's right, this mountain road is really too difficult to walk on. When we went up the mountain to investigate some time ago, I accidentally stepped on empty space and almost fell off the cliff!"
Recalling the thrilling scene at that time, Wang Xianye patted his chest with lingering fear.
"If the person behind me hadn't pulled me up in time, I might have died by now..."
Wang Xianye said with a look of fear on his face.
After hearing what Gu Chang and Wang Xianye said, Sun Sheng could no longer sit still! He stood up anxiously, pacing back and forth, muttering, "What should I do..."
"So you two, what do you think we should do about this?"
Sun Sheng stopped and looked at the two of them, an anxious look on his face.
Gu Chang touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "Village Chief Sun, you can first ask people in the village who are familiar with Grandpa Sun to find out which direction he usually goes when he collects herbs. This may provide some clues to help us determine his whereabouts."
Sun Sheng nodded in agreement, thinking that this method was feasible. After all, Grandpa Sun’s daily activities should not be too large.
So he decided to act according to Gu Chang's advice.
Gu Chang continued, "Then find a few villagers who are familiar with the mountain roads, form a group of several people, and search along the possible directions!"
Sun Sheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately understood what Gu Chang meant. They needed to organize manpower as soon as possible and start the search operation.
Sun Sheng quickly agreed and said he would arrange it right away. He knew time was running out and he couldn't delay any longer.
"Okay, I'll go to the brigade yard to gather the villagers!" When Sun Sheng heard this, he immediately felt that he had a clear direction!
"We'll go with you!"
Gu Chang looked at Sun Sheng's departing back and said without hesitation.
They followed closely behind Sun Sheng and walked quickly towards the village committee.
Along the way, they were anxious and hurried, wishing they could fly to their destination immediately.
Finally arriving at the brigade compound, Sun Sheng could not wait to turn on the loud speaker and loudly broadcast into the microphone: "Dear villagers, dear villagers, Grandpa Sun has gone up the mountain to collect herbs and has not returned yet, he has not returned yet!"
His voice spread throughout the village through the loudspeaker, echoing in the mountains, as if calling for Grandpa Sun's return to every corner.
Then, Sun Sheng continued to shout: "There may be an accident. Villagers who are familiar with the mountain roads, please come to the village committee as soon as possible to gather, come to the village committee as soon as possible to gather..."
His tone was anxious and urgent, hoping to arouse everyone's attention and participation.
At this time, the night had already enveloped the entire small mountain village, and it was pitch black. Only sporadic lights flickered in the darkness, like faint stars in the night sky.
However, the next second, numerous lights appeared, like stars blooming in the night sky. Those were the villagers holding flashlights, rushing towards the village committee.
These bright spots of light gathered together to form a warm stream of light, illuminating the entire village.
The figures of the villagers appeared particularly clear under the light, and they all had expressions of concern and worry on their faces.
In less than five minutes, the entire Sunjia Village brigade yard was crowded with people from Sunjia Village!
There were men and women, old and young, almost everyone in Sunjia Village came!
Grandpa Sun has been curing illnesses and saving lives all his life. Is there anyone in Sunjia Village who has not taken the medicine prescribed by Grandpa Sun?
Most of the time, Grandpa Sun treated the villagers and basically didn't charge them for anything. The villagers felt really bad about it, so they forced some money on him or gave him some gifts.
The old man doesn't care about these material things at all. If someone gives him money, it would be better to serve him a bowl of stewed chicken or meat, which would make him happier.
Now they heard that something might have happened to Grandpa Sun and he hasn't returned from collecting herbs yet. The villagers who had once received help from Grandpa Sun immediately became extremely anxious.
