Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Brother Liu, let's not talk about this anymore, finding the child is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, if we can't find this kid, I'll offer my head to you!!"

Old Liu made a solemn pledge and then started making phone calls one after another.

Old Liu coordinated with the forestry police, forestry bureau, and even major forest farms in a timely manner.

After inquiring, it was found that a total of four large trucks transporting timber came and went today.

Because it's not in the development phase, there aren't many large trucks.

We've already sent people to investigate the three trucks that were being transported to the county seat.

Only one vehicle was leaving the city, its destination the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Lu Weiguo rested for an hour at the brigade.

The moment I received the call, a sense of powerlessness washed over me.

Experiences from past lives, hunting and gathering in the mountains, and even knowledge far exceeding that of this era.

In that instant, it was as if everything else had been left behind.

He was facing a jackal who had been planning this for who knows how long and was staring intently at him.

I really didn't expect them to make their move at this time.

He felt he had been careful enough, watching over the two children day and night.

It's been almost half a year now, and nothing unexpected has happened.

My child will be going to school in the county town in September.

Wu Guifen has made almost all the arrangements.

My wife got into university too!!

But today.

Lu Jiacheng is gone.

He was reborn, and he spent most of his time with his wife and children.

It can be said that his wife and children are his courage to be reborn and his motivation to live another life.

But at this moment.

He moved to the Qian family's place and led the whole village and everyone around him to a better life.

It even saved dozens of families.

In less than a year, he felt he had done enough.

But how could it be...?

Lu Weiguo squatted on the ground; it was already dark by then.

After learning about the situation, the village officials of Anning Village brought over a bowl of hot soup noodles.

A few drops of oil floated in the noodles. He squatted down next to Lu Weiguo and handed them over.

Lu Weiguo looked up.

This was exactly what Lu Jiacheng used to like and long for the most.

When he first came back, there was nothing in the house.

A bowl of hot soup noodles is enough to fill you up, and you can even taste the flavor of an oil painting.

A few drops of salt, placed inside, are neither wasteful nor harmful; they can fill the whole body with a fierce aura.

But, on ordinary days, I see my child enjoying hot soup noodles so happily.

Lu Weiguo ate it as if he were chewing a bowl of vegetable roots.

Each bite was extremely difficult to swallow.

The warm soup, when drunk, felt like poison, causing a sudden, intense burning sensation in the mouth.

It was broken by the hot soup.

Lu Weiguo rinsed his mouth repeatedly, as if only the pain could keep him awake and persevere.

"Dude, what's wrong? Have a cigarette, calm down. I asked those old folks in the village."

Today there was only one bus heading north, and it seems like a few people got on it. If a child gets lost, we'll look for them; wherever they go, we'll go!

You're a father; you have a special connection with your child. Trust your intuition.

Seeing Lu Weiguo's dejected state, the man delivering the noodles muttered to himself.

The man was young, and his hair covered half of his eyes; this was what later generations called the "non-mainstream" style.

This is very unusual in this day and age.

"Um."

Lu Weiguo looked up and hummed in response. These words gradually eroded the sense of powerlessness in his mind.

"My name is Lu Guisheng, and I'm the accountant for Anning Village. A few years ago, when I was studying in the south, children were frequently going missing there."

It's even harder to find than here. It's a vast mountain range, thousands of miles long; once you go in, you can't find it. But those parents, one by one, rush into the mountains without a care in the world.

And you know what? They often manage to rescue children from human traffickers.

I can tell you're an educated person, and the bad habit of educated people is that they overthink things. Don't think about anything, just go find the child!

Suddenly, a bright light illuminated Lu Weiguo.

I had originally planned to stay put and protect my little corner of the world, but after being reborn, I became much less daring and always felt that all I needed to do was revolve around my family.

Then you won't lose your family.

But once you sense the impending loss, your only fear will be magnified infinitely.

But as Lu Guisheng said.

People tend to overthink things. If you don't think about anything, just do it.

"Thank you, my name is Lu Weiguo, thank you for this bowl of noodles today."

"Don't mention it, Lu Weiguo. That name sounds familiar. I saw you made a phone call earlier and seem to know quite a few people. Just ask the Forestry Bureau to arrange a ride along the way, that's all."

Maybe we'll find it.

Lu Guisheng looks carefree and irresponsible.

But I was just sitting by the phone calculating the phone bill, and I overheard quite a bit of what was going on.

"Thanks, bro. Tonight, it'll be just the two of us..."

"You can stay here. I'm on duty tonight. We're all from the commune. We're all one family in the communes. When we close the door, we're all one family."

Moon stars are rare.

At the Lu family's place, it was so quiet that even the cicadas could not be heard.

Shu Ruizhi took the two children back home early.

Li Xiulian clung tightly to Lu Jiahuan, sitting in the courtyard, unwilling to go inside.

His eyes were fixed on the doorway.

She was afraid that Lu Jiacheng wouldn't see her the first thing when he got home.

"Xiulian, Weiguo went to find the children. You're the only one at home now. Go get some sleep. I'll wait here. Jiahuan still needs to be taken care of."

You can't let your body break down first.

Lu Baojia squatted on the ground, comforting his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Since having children, he could deeply sense Li Xiulian's guilt.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given him a handful of candy. He wouldn't have thought of going out to show it off to others! It's all my fault. What's the point of going to university?"

I have children, two kids! These two are my lifeblood!

Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, and apart from the red stain on her lips, her entire eye was equally red.

This is the second time.

Lu Jiacheng was only five years old.

It's all her fault...

If it weren't for Lu Jiahuan, she really wouldn't want to live anymore.

"It's not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong. Blame the bad guys, and also blame us for being incompetent..."

Looking at his saddened younger brother and sister-in-law, Lu Baojia felt a pang of self-reproach.

For no other reason than feeling like I'm a useless older brother.

Money couldn't help; Lu Weiguo even covered the cost of the baby's birth.

He can't keep an eye on people. Even in his own village, he can't keep an eye on his nephew. He, as the older brother, has absolutely no ability.

"Brother, don't say that. Go home and keep your wife company. I can manage on my own."

A new courtyard, a new house, a new home, but right now there's no warmth in the house.

On the very first day, before they even moved into the house, the whole family was already gone.

"Xiulian, why haven't you come inside yet? It's alright, Village Chief Huang and I found the forestry department's car. They said they'll pick up Lu Weiguo first thing tomorrow morning."

"Let's go to the Xing'an Mountains together. Don't worry, your business is my business!"

At the door, Zhang Dexing, who had rushed over, didn't go inside but stood outside, looking at Li Xiulian with heartache.

His expression shifted unpredictably.

Li Xiulian had come here hoping to bring some peace to her home, where there was no man.

But this brother-in-law... how can he be so clueless?

This is a brand new house...

Did you never do that in the house either?

Could that also be described as, "the first time..."? Perhaps it could be given to me?
