“I’ll go too…” Xiao Yishan was about to get off the bed when Su Qingyue persuaded him, “Second Brother, just wait at home. If you put weight on your leg, you’ll really become crippled! I’ll go alone, and I’ll definitely bring Third Brother back! ”

As she spoke, she had already vanished from sight.

“Qingyue, it might rain again, take an umbrella…” Xiao Yishan called out, but she didn’t turn back.

Xiao Qinghe hung his head, his gentle eyes filled with helplessness and deep guilt.

He was a burden to this family, incapable of even following them to search for someone.

Xiao Yishan was worried about his wife and Third Brother and didn’t notice Fourth Brother’s expression.

Su Qingyue hurriedly headed up the mountain. To get to Hanging Neck Mountain, she first had to go to the foot of a nearby mountain, then follow a mountain path up to the top, then turn left, and they would reach it.

No one had been up Hanging Neck Mountain in recent years, so there was no path.

She could randomly climb to the mid-hillside of the mountain first.

When she came down earlier, she felt that, like usual, walking to the mountain peak and coming down was a bit steep, not suitable for carrying a load with a carrying pole. It would be better to use a back basket.” >

So just now, she took a detour, walking to a place where she could climb down carrying a pole and reached this foot of the mountain.

She figured that since she took a detour, with her mountain brother’s weak and slow speed, she must have just missed Third Brother.

Generally, people wouldn’t take a detour to get to Hanging Neck Mountain. She hurriedly ran towards the mountain top on this side.

The rain that had just stopped started again.

The sky was heavily overcast, and the heavy rain poured down like a ladle, drenching her completely.

Because of the rain, there were now some footprints on the ground.

Su Qingyue carefully checked them and found they were the size and length of a man’s footprints.

She had never noticed how big Third Brother’s shoe size was. However, the footprints were unevenly spaced – one deep, the other shallow obviously made by someone weak and sickly as they walked.

Next to the footprints was a hole about two fingers wide.

It was probably made by a firewood stick used as a crutch, propping on the ground.

Both the footprints and the crutch marks were there, so it must have been

Third Brother who walked there. She frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. “Xiao Yuchuan! What on earth are you doing? You have no strength to even get out of bed, yet you ran so far!”

Complaining, she followed the footprints up the mountain. There were also some traces of mud rubbed off on the road.

Third Brother must have fallen and gotten muddy.

Just past the mid-hillside, she found one shoe. Although she hadn’t measured how big Third Brother’s feet were, she recognized that old, patched shoe that always appeared in front of her.

Wanting to kick the broken shoe away but thinking about its cost, she held back.

The heavy rain hit Su Qingyue, causing her skin to hurt from the raindrops.

Having to come out in the heavy rain to find someone… Third Brother, being so restless even when sick — no, poisoned – Su Qingyue really wanted to cut him into ten or eight pieces!

When she was almost at the top of the mountain, she first saw the rain ‘washing’ the muddy mountain road, leaving a trail of marks from a person rubbing against it.

Graywater flowed down the mountain path, mixed with blood in the rainwater.

She looked up again and saw Third Brother crawling on the ground. One foot was shoeless, while the other still had a shoe on. His knees bent, he used both hands and feet to crawl with difficulty.

His knees were scraped, and there was a gash on his leg caused by sharp rocks.

The heavy rain hit him, mixing with the blood on his knees and flowing onto the mountain path, right down to… Su Qingyue’s feet.

“Wife…” His hoarse and raspy voice was barely audible.

He seemed numb, moving forward with just a shred of determination while crawling..
