By now it was completely dark, and the summer breeze was blowing. You could still vaguely hear the Zhou family calling for people from all around.
"It couldn't have been taken away by some wild beast in the forest, right?"
"The forest is dark. If you are dragged in, how will you find it?"
"Shh, please keep your voice down. Look at Song Yuelan, her daughter, she's crying so hard."
Qiao Huaping looked over following the voice and saw Song Yuelan's eight-year-old daughter Zhou Xiaoqing, crying and asking: "Have you seen my mother?"
The village chief sighed and had no choice. He organized a dozen young adults in the village to divide into three teams and went into the forest with torches to search.
Qiao Huaping thought for a while and asked Mei Qingyao to take care of his younger brothers and sisters and stop them from running around.
Mei Qingyu sat up straight, a little unbelievable: "What are you going to do?"
Qiao Huaping lowered his head to find a thick branch, then used a knife to cut a piece of bark from another place, divided it into two pieces, and made a simple torch.
She heard Mei Qingyu ask her and replied casually: "I'll go to the woods to have a look too."
"Are you crazy?!" Mei Qingyao was shocked, "You are just fooling around in the dark, aren't you afraid of a wild beast dragging you away?!"
Qiao Huaping raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, Yaoyao, you care about me, don't you?"
Mei Qingyao immediately said: "Who said that? If you want to go, go, I don't care!"
Qiao Huaping clicked his tongue and looked at Mei Qingyao, who was about to get angry. He stopped teasing the child and simply explained: "I saw it before when I was looking for herbs in the forest. There were no traces of large beasts in the forest."
, but there is a slope that is not very obvious. I probably still remember the location, so I will go and take a look."
While she was talking, the little Mei Qingying turned around and ran towards the cart, picked up the long bow that Qiao Huaping had placed on the cart, and held it up to Qiao Huaping.
It means asking her to bring a longbow to defend herself.
Qiao Huaping was so moved that she hugged Mei Qingying and kissed her three times: "Oh, Yingying, my mother is so sweet and considerate."
Faced with Mei Qingying's cute cub, Qiao Huaping was willing to be this old mother.
Mei Qingying was a little embarrassed, turned around and ran away from Qiao Huaping's arms.
Qiao Huaping laughed, put a long bow on his back, lit a fire on the unburned firewood in the stove, held a torch, and followed several young adults into the forest.
Although it was already dark, Qiao Huaping still remembered the rough route he had taken before and headed straight for that slope.
It was night, and the forest was so dense that the thin moonlight filtered through, which almost didn't help. All we had to do was rely on the light from the torches.
——It stands to reason that this should be the case.
However, probably because he had taken the water droplets dropped from the stalactite before, Qiao Huaping could see more clearly than ordinary people even in the dark night.
This was something she had discovered before. Holding a torch was just a cover up.
When she arrived near the slope, Qiao Huaping carefully distinguished the marks on the ground, and finally she discovered an obvious collapse.
This is a trace of a slip.
Qiao Huaping looked down hard.
However, the slope is a bit deep and the shrubs are very dense, so there is nothing visible.
"Sister-in-law Song?"
Qiao Huaping shouted a few times.
No response.
But I think so, if a person rolled down a slope, he would probably hit his head and faint.
Qiao Huaping was a quick-witted person, so she didn't hesitate. She reached into her bag and took out a hemp rope from the space. She tied one end to a nearby tree and tied the other end to her waist, making a
Secure the safety rope and slowly go down the slope along the trace.
Sure enough, at the bottom of the slope, Qiao Huaping discovered the unconscious Song Yuelan.
"Sister-in-law Song?" Qiao Huaping called softly, but there was no answer.
Qiao Huaping took a pulse.
As the leader of a special agent team, it is normal to be short of medical treatment and medicine when performing missions in the field.
Others dare not say that Qiao Huaping can be said to be a doctor after a long illness due to injuries caused by a fall.
Once she took a pulse, she felt relieved.
It is estimated that when he rolled down the slope, his head hit somewhere, causing a slight concussion and coma.
There were no serious injuries, so it wasn't a big problem.
Qiao Huaping breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and planned to climb up again and find someone to come down and rescue him.
When his eyes scanned somewhere, Qiao Huaping's eyes narrowed.
There, there is a large Ganoderma lucidum that is all red and looks great!
This is not over yet. Not far from this large Ganoderma lucidum tree, which is in excellent condition, there are also clusters of smaller Ganoderma lucidum trees. The fragrance is overflowing and it looks very tempting!
Qiao Huaping was immediately drooling.
She was not polite, she took out the tools directly from the space, carefully dug out these Ganoderma lucidum, and put them all into the space.
In an instant, she could feel those Ganoderma lucidum taking root on the ground, and her space swayed slightly, and the fog clearly dispersed.
The open space centered on the stalactite is larger.
And the drop of spiritual water condensed on the stalactite fell into the stone bowl with a "pop".
Qiao Huaping was delighted.
Look, look, what is this called? It means good people are rewarded!
Song Yuelan took care of her four cubs. When Song Yuelan was in danger, she came to help. This is good news for good people.
And when she came to help Song Yuelan, she discovered such a large cluster of Ganoderma lucidum down the slope. This is also a good reward for good people!
…
Qiao Huaping climbed up the slope and called someone to carry the unconscious Song Yuelan back to the place where Liujin Village set up camp.
Doctor Zhu Xiangyi had made the bed and was ready to sleep. When he heard the news, he hurried over with his medicine box.
Zhu Xiangyi's conclusion was similar to Qiao Huaping's. He said that the coma was caused by a concussion on the head. It was nothing serious and he just needed to rest more. After saying that, he did not confiscate the five copper coins that Song Yuelan's man handed over to her for the consultation.
He waved his hand and left carrying the medicine box again.
Zhou Xiaoqing threw herself on her mother and cried loudly.
Mrs. Zhou Xu muttered dissatisfiedly on the side: "She is the only one with a lot of problems! If she runs out at night, the whole village will have to look for her..."
The daughters-in-law from the other houses were also there to fan the flames: "That's right, we are all exhausted after traveling all day, and we still have to go find her."
"The mother who caused me harm has not slept with us until now!"
"I tell you, girl, stop crying. It's so late at night. You're very depressed. Your mother is not dead. It's unlucky to cry."
Zhou Xu also looked at Zhou Xiaoqing with great dissatisfaction.
Zhou Xiaoqing didn't dare to cry anymore. He suppressed it until his face turned red. He tried not to let himself cry out. His little body was twitching, and he looked quite pitiful.
Song Yuelan and her husband Zhou Heishi could not beat a fart with three sticks, but when he saw his daughter crying pitifully, he said in a low voice: "Okay, I haven't woken up yet, let's wait until we wake up to talk about anything."
Mrs. Zhou Xu at least gave her son some face. She didn't say anything more, just muttered a few words of disgust, and then went to her own bed to lie down.
People in the other rooms also lay down on their own.
