Chapter 350: The Injuries Are Very Serious
After dinner, Lady Jiang and Lady Lin went to the kitchen to clean up, and everyone else sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool evening air.
The sky had already turned completely dark, Wang Laozhu puffing on his pipe, glanced at the sky, and expressed his concern with a tinge of worry, "Laosi has been out for several days now, why hasn’t he returned?"
Wang Yongfu’s face also showed a hint of worry, "Indeed, by all accounts, he should have been back by now, shouldn’t he?"
Wang Yongzhu turned her head to look at Jinhoo, "Jinhoo, the day you and your uncle parted ways, where did he say he was going to buy goods?"
"My uncle said he was going to Xiatian Chongzi Gully. The mountain trails there are difficult to navigate, and it’s far away—we’ve never been there before. I tried to persuade my uncle a few times, but he said, with the autumn harvest fast approaching, he wanted to buy goods there one time before the harvest. He wanted to get a feel for Xiatian Chongzi Gully. It’s said that the mountain goods are plentiful there since it’s right in the mountains—it’s just hard to get out, and not many people go in. My uncle wanted to be the first to act..." Jinhoo’s voice trailed off as she spoke.
This Xiatian Chongzi Gully, everyone had heard of it; it was deep in the mountains with few people, and the trails were long and seldom traveled.
As they were talking, suddenly there was the sound of dogs barking from outside.
And the sound of people talking loudly and shouting... getting closer and closer.
"It’s here, this is the Old Wang Family’s place..."
"We’ve finally found it..."
"Slow down, carry it slowly, the road ahead is uneven, not easy to walk, be careful with it."
