Chapter 404 Maybe one of the kids in the team was craving something, so they hunted a bird and came
Late at night, mosquitoes flew around in the grass, and within two minutes, their faces were covered in bites.
The group scratched and scratched until their faces turned red, but the itch persisted.
Meng Hongsheng couldn't help but complain about Meng Peiyu: "Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. How can someone who values love so much achieve anything!"
Liang Fanqi rarely spoke up for his daughter, saying, "Isn't it because of what you taught her? You even lost a good job in Kyoto for something as trivial as your crotch."
I've been in the limelight for decades, but I never imagined I'd end up like this in my old age...
Before she could finish speaking, seeing Meng Hongsheng's cold gaze, she quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I... I regret it. How could I have ruined such a good life?"
"Hmph, good to know!" Meng Hongsheng exhaled, not wanting to continue the topic.
Meng Guohao's stomach rumbled, and he pouted as he looked at the path beside the woods, hoping that his sister's figure would appear before him in the next second.
Meng Linyu was a nobody, hiding in a corner and not daring to express her opinion at all.
This wait lasted for two or three hours, and Meng Hongsheng even suspected that Meng Peiyu might have been arrested.
But he also felt it was impossible, after all, his daughter had always been very lucky. She shouldn't be unable to handle such a small situation.
Two more hours passed, and Meng Hongsheng fell asleep amidst the swarms of mosquitoes, but Meng Peiyu still didn't appear.
Meng Peiyu on the other end was devastated. She had clearly made an appointment with someone to keep walking straight ahead and turn right at every intersection, but she just couldn't find the person.
We can't just hide in the mountains!
"Sang Sheng, where do you think they might be?"
"It's too dark, we might have taken the wrong turn."
"There are four of us. Surely we can tell left from right, unless we run into people chasing us on the way!"
Sang Sheng comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. I haven't heard any rumors along the way, so nothing should have happened!"
The two estimated the speed of the oxcart and the distance they had traveled, reviewing the situation in their minds to see which fork in the road they might have gone wrong.
Then they went back one by one to check the traces at the forks in the road to see if any oxcarts had run over them.
Dirt roads, country roads, oxcarts travel on them almost every day.
The car that Sang Sheng stole was nothing special. Even if he found tire tracks, he couldn't determine which one belonged to Meng Hongsheng. He could only run around like a headless fly.
After searching several intersections, she suddenly remembered that she had fed the cows beans. The soybeans with stems that she had checked out of the system.
Although I didn't intend to absorb the old ox's luck, I subconsciously let a wisp of black energy overflow from my fingertips and attach to it.
Meng Peiyu closed her eyes, carefully sensing her surroundings. After a long while, she pointed in a direction and said, "Go that way!"
Because they could only sense the direction and couldn't describe the route in detail, the journey was very difficult. They had to climb small hills and cross small ditches from time to time.
Fortunately, before dawn, they saw an old cow mooing.
Meng Peiyu looked around but didn't see anyone. Just as she was about to search for him, Meng Guohao jumped out of the woods: "Sister, you're finally here!"
Meng Peiyu was startled: "What happened to your face?"
Meng Guohao complained, "I was bitten by mosquitoes!"
Meng Peiyu instinctively reached for the insecticide, but then she remembered being accidentally injured earlier and shuddered.
"It's almost dawn, let's quickly find a place to hide!"
Meng Guohao nodded and went to wake the others up.
The group, feeling dazed and confused, searched for a place to stay. After searching for a long time, they found a dilapidated temple.
As soon as Meng Linyu entered the room, she knelt down and worshipped the overturned statue of the deity.
Meng Peiyu laughed at her: "If there really are immortals in this world, you would be on Cold Mountain Hill..."
Meng Peiyu didn't finish her sentence, but she still touched on Meng Linyu's sore spot.
Her face paled, and she glanced at the statue, which was neither ferocious nor benevolent, before getting up from the ground.
A group of people started a fire to cook. Sang Sheng went out and shot a few sparrows. Meng Peiyu roasted the birds here without any scruples.
Meng Hongsheng and Meng Guohao ate with their mouths full of oil, and Liang Fanqi hesitated for a few seconds before also starting to eat heartily.
"Mmm, it smells so good, it really smells amazing!" I couldn't help but exclaim.
Only Meng Linyu's mind was filled with images of Hanshangang and the statue of the god, and she had no appetite whatsoever.
"You eat it, I'm not hungry!" She handed her sparrow to Meng Guohao.
Meng Guohao didn't mince words: "These little sparrows only have a few bites of meat. Once things settle down, I'm going to hunt down ten or eight of them and eat them to my heart's content!"
A group of people gathered together, looking relatively relaxed, but soon Meng Peiyu heard the sound of gongs and drums.
I took out my binoculars and looked into the distance. I immediately spotted people in uniforms.
Without a doubt, they came to gather information about them.
"Someone's coming! Hide quickly!" After saying that, Meng Peiyu directed everyone to the place they had scouted beforehand—the cellar.
Once everyone else had taken cover, Meng Peiyu's pupils widened when she spotted the cow left outside.
He trotted forward, crushed the cow's neck, and put it into his spatial storage along with the cart.
On the way back to the cellar, I tripped and fell, bleeding from my knees and hands.
After quickly cleaning up the marks on the ground, Sang Sheng dragged and carried her into the cellar, carefully placing her in a shaded area.
Not long after, someone found the place and frowned in confusion as they looked at the cart tracks at the entrance.
"Wasn't it supposed to be abandoned? How come there are car tracks? Is something hidden inside?"
"No, comrade, we strictly followed the regulations of the Grid Management Committee and gave those things to..."
Furthermore, villagers were strictly prohibited from coming to engage in the "Four Olds" activities; how could they possibly hide anything? If you don't believe me, feel free to go in and investigate!
Seeing the captain's confident assurances, the police officers led their men inside.
Knowing that the target was armed, he warned the villagers: "Be careful, and don't act rashly if you find anything."
"Understood, Officer!"
A large group of people searched every nook and cranny with great fanfare, which terrified the few people hiding in the dilapidated temple.
Just as they were about to reach the cellar, Meng Peiyu released a stream of black gas from her palm, blocking their path.
The cellar was very deep, and this side was already in the shadows, so it was impossible to see clearly.
With the added concealment of the black mist, it can truly fool the inexperienced.
The police officer glanced at it, found nothing unusual, and moved on from the scene.
The others also peered into the cellar, sensing something was amiss, but couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.
Thinking it best to avoid trouble, I didn't say a word.
After helping the other person search every nook and cranny, and confirming there were no abnormalities...
"Wait, what's this?" The police officer picked up the bird bone from the ground and examined it carefully.
The captain was startled and explained, "These are sparrow bones."
Maybe one of the kids in the team was craving something, so he hunted some birds and came here to cook them.
Although this thing is small, it is still one of the four pests, but ultimately it is public property and cannot be disposed of at will.
This place is remote...
The brigade leader spoke softer and softer, feeling quite embarrassed as he thought about the behavior of the village children.
The police officer nodded: "The child is young, so we should strengthen his education. It would be terrible if he accidentally set something on fire!"
