Chapter 351: Extorted
Wang Yongzhu finally felt completely relieved.
She was now in the mood to thank the person who had brought Fourth Brother back and also wanted to ask what exactly had happened.
But before she could speak, Wang Yonggui was already giving the people who carried Wang Yongping back a hostile look.
"Are you guys from Xiatian Chongzi Gully? What happened? Our Fourth Brother left home in good health, so how did he end up like this?"
The mountain girl holding the torch frowned upon hearing this.
The two young men behind her bore a resemblance to her, clearly from the same family, probably siblings.
Their faces couldn’t hide embarrassment as they listened to this question laden with blame and suspicion, showing a touch of anger.
The slightly older one, with better composure, was still short of breath, his forehead glistening with large beads of sweat that rolled down, soaking his clothes in sweat.
As he lifted the hem of his shirt to wipe off his sweat, he started to explain, "We three siblings are from Xiatian Chongzi Gully. Today we went up the mountain to hunt, and on our way, we found that a landslide had blocked the path. Unable to pass, we had to head back home, and that’s when we found a person buried under the landslide."
"Upon closer look, he was still breathing, though barely conscious. Clutching at my sister’s leg, he didn’t let go, saying he was Wang Yongping from Qilidun Old Wang Family and begging us to bring him back. As he said this, he passed out. We couldn’t just leave him there to die, so we had no choice but to carry him here..."
After hearing the full story, Wang Yonggui’s expression softened somewhat, though his tone still carried a hint of defensiveness and suspicion, "Thank you for bringing my Fourth Brother back. Once he wakes up, I’ll definitely have him thank you for saving his life."
