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

First came light rain, then hail, and finally even sleet.

In August, the weather in the Greater Khingan Mountains is like a joke; it rains whatever it wants.

Moreover, it seems that God likes to play tricks on people who strive to live in these harsh places.

The rain and snow lasted for more than an hour, then the sky suddenly cleared up.

Qing was absolutely thorough.

Wang Jiawen felt fortunate that he hadn't abandoned Lu Jiacheng back then.

He preferred the reserved Lu Jiacheng to his taciturn apprentice.

If you raise a child like this well, he will definitely be able to support you in your old age.

Wang Jiawen was indeed in good health; he was drenched in rain and snow but was unharmed. However, Lu Jiacheng was just as worried as Lu Weiguo.

His face was flushed, he was panting heavily, he had no energy left, and his forehead was so hot it could cook an egg.

My whole body felt as cold as an ice cellar.

Fever, plus four or five days of suffering.

He was on edge, and he kept his composure as his father had advised, searching for a solution.

But in the end, Lu Jiacheng, who was only five years old, couldn't hold on any longer.

We've already taken everyone into the mountains, and we've survived the rain and snow.

If Lu Jiacheng loses it at this point...

Wang Jiawen was also somewhat unwilling.

All the hardships along the way were for the sake of finding a disciple to train.

Even if you agree to the Zhang family's request...

He didn't want to get involved with Wang Defa.

After all, ever since she first abducted Lu Jiacheng, she had taken a liking to this unusually calm little guy.

The reason for fleeing in such a hurry was not to escape anyone, but because of the rules of the industry.

This little guy is clearly in dire need of help, so breaking the rules a little isn't out of the question.

Enraged, Wang Jiawen forced Wang Defa to find a cave by holding a gun to his head.

The cave wasn't deep; it could only hide four or five people.

The rainwater soaked most of the cave.

At this moment, Wang Jiawen acted like a human being and left the Qian position to Lu Jiacheng.

Gather firewood and use readily available pine resin to start a fire outside.

Because of the recent heavy rain, the damp wood emitted plumes of black smoke.

The wood only begins to burn normally after it has been smoked dry.

Wang Jiawen slowly moved the burning wood into the cave and took off Lu Jiacheng's clothes.

While helping to smoke and dry the clothes, she also boiled water in a kettle for Lu Jiacheng to drink.

There are no magic medicines in the mountains; we can only rely on prayer and hot water.

They came to treat Lu Jiacheng.

Perhaps the prayers worked, or perhaps it was the first time Wang Jiawen had done a good deed.

The rising black smoke was immediately spotted by Lu Weiguo, who had already bypassed the others and climbed to the top of a large tree.

At that moment, there was a fire and smoke in the mountains.

It's still the direction they came from.

Without even needing to analyze the situation, Lu Weiguo grabbed Liu Dazhuang and scrambled towards the other side.

They're just mountain dogs from the forest; if they can't even get the direction right with something so obvious.

Then his rebirth would have been for nothing!

Meanwhile, Wangcai found those people.

The sleet soaked Wangcai completely.

The rain masked the smell, and they found Wang Jiawen and his group of four almost at the same time as Lu Weiguo.

However, I could smell the familiar scent of Wang Defa.

Wangcai hesitated.

Jump from the tree branch to the top of the cave.

He stared intently at Wang Defa's alluring neck.

He lay prone in the grass, almost level with the ground.

They moved little by little toward Wang Defa, who was still tending the fire.

"Dazhuang, do you have any millet on you? I remember your family bought a lot recently."

As Lu Weiguo ran, he grabbed Liu Dazhuang and asked.

"Yellow millet? Brother Weiguo, are you hungry? I still have two pancakes made from yellow millet, but they're both soaked."

Liu Dazhuang's face was scratched into various shapes by barbs.

However, seeing that he seemed to be of use to Lu Weiguo, he grinned and took out two large pancakes made of millet from his pocket.

When Liu Dazhuang was a child, he couldn't afford to eat, and millet was not easy to store.

So many families would throw their spoiled millet to Liu Dazhuang, just like feeding a dog.

He didn't understand the villagers' malice.

All he knew was that the villagers had fed him a bite of food.

So millet became his favorite food.

"Give it to me."

Without saying a word, Lu Weiguo stuffed the millet cake into his pocket.

At this moment, he saw two figures, one large and one small.

The large figure looked very familiar.

I think I've seen the smaller ones before.

Suddenly, he recalled the child next to the human trafficker.

Although their faces are not clearly visible, they look quite different.

But that hunched figure was exactly the same as the one I saw half a year ago!

"Human trafficker!! I've found you!!"

He had been avoiding Li Xiulian for the past few days.

The guilt of losing Lu Jiacheng a second time made him unable to look Li Xiulian in the eye.

He didn't know how to comfort her, nor what to say to calm Li Xiulian down.

That's why I chose to pursue it all the way.

Li Xiulian, my daughter-in-law!

I have the face to see you now.

Li Xiulian is also facing a crisis.

Since Lu Jiacheng went missing, she has hardly had a good night's sleep.

As soon as I close my eyes, I see Lu Jiacheng's adorable smiling face.

She is sensible and knows how to take care of the family and her younger sister. She even coaxes her younger sister while she is studying.

Every time I heard a sound at the door, I felt that Lu Jiacheng had returned.

The entire village has been working with the police these past few days to search the mountain.

Even Zhao Yangyang, who couldn't endure any hardship, went crazy, searching back and forth between the county town and Fendou Village.

My face, which I care about most, got sunburned, and my legs were covered in bruises from falling.

They never stopped.

The Lu family was in the same situation, leaving Shu Ruizhi alone at home to take care of the two children.

But the more this is the case, the more ill-intentioned some people become.

Zhang Dexing noticed that no one in the village had noticed the Lu family.

I secretly observe from outside every day.

Today, he finally seized the opportunity.

Li Xiulian was holding Lu Jiahuan and sitting in the courtyard breastfeeding her.

He collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Zhang Dexing ran into the Lu family's courtyard like a madman from the village branch.

He immediately picked Li Xiulian up from the ground.

The prepared pastries were fed to Lu Jiahuan.

To stop her from crying.

He placed Lu Jiahuan in the yard, picked up Li Xiulian, and went into the house.

"Old classmate, I just saved you, shouldn't you thank me...?"

Zhang Dexing's serious demeanor was no longer a pretense.

His long period of forbearance seemed to have driven him mad.

He threw his eyes onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

His eyes were wide open, and a lewd smile spread across his face.

"Old classmate, I've been waiting for you for so long! You should have just given in to me a long time ago. Why did you make me act like this for so long?"

Zhang Dexing licked his lips, as if admiring a treasure.

His gaze swept over Li Xiulian, taking her in and out.

With both hands raised in the air, like a hungry wolf eyeing a delicious piece of meat.
