Chapter 1110: The children were found
Fang Chi was not the only one worried, Shen Li and the rest were equally worried. If not for the fact that his pregnancy was slowly advancing Shen Li would have rushed out of the common house himself. The two kids were young and even if Lang Ru was smart if something dangerous happened then neither of them would be able to survive.
The situation in the village was so dangerous what if something happened?
The one who was the most worried was Zhu Qian. His wife was still recovering from injuries and she was yet to wake up, now his daughter was missing as well. If something happened to them what would he do? Just thinking about it made Zhu Qian panic.
” Don’t worry too much, the entire village is looking for Ah Ru and Mai. Someone will find them,” Father Chen told Zhu Qian because Chen Mi and Xiao Hua were looking somewhere else, he could only come with Zhu Qian who refused to stay with his wife after hearing that something happened to his daughter.
Zhu Qian shook his head and then sobbed lightly, ” I don’t know. The child’s mother is already injured like this and now that child is also missing, how can I not worry? She is so silly. I told her to stay next to me all the time but she went out and she even took little Mai with her. If something happened to the two of them how will I answer my wife?
How will I answer Miss Yu who almost gave her life to save my wife?”
This was something that Zhu Qian was worried about the most. As a mer his responsibility was only to take care of his wife and his children. Now that his wife was injured and his daughter was missing what was he supposed to do?
What was more Yu Mai disappeared together with Zhu Qian. If something happened to the two of them together then what were they supposed to do?
Father Chen did not say and simply sighed. He knew that Zhu Qian was right. In case something happened to Yu Mai, the blame would naturally fall on Lang Ru as Yu Mai was just a little mer whose brain was burned when he was a child compared to Lang Ru who was smarter and wittier.
Though Yu Dong was a reasonable woman. He had received letters from his son and knew that Yu Dong was only reasonable when her family was not concerned as long as her family was concerned, she would not think straight.
If he was in Zhu Qian’s place, he would worry as well.
But he could not say such things out loud and could only think of them in his heart while hoping that the two kids would be all right.
If not the damage would be too big!
However, Father Chen’s hopes were doomed to meet with nothing but a stone wall. When the two of them met with Chen Mi and Xiao Hua again, the two of them found out that they did not see the two kids and the same case was with Fang Chi, Ye Liu and Mother Chen as well as Grandma Yu.
When the villagers told them that they too did not see the two kids, it was when Fang Chi’s back broke and he knelt on the ground with his hands covering his face. ” Where, oh where did they go? They were playing right in front of me! How could they suddenly vanish into thin air?”
Father Chen was worried as well along with the rest of the mers and when Zhu Qian stumbled and fell his worries went even higher.
Where did the two kids go? Even if something happened to them their bodies should——
” The wells!” Father Chen’s eyes widened as he screamed loudly, he turned to Wu Junfen and Aunt Wang who were rushing to the mountains and screamed, ” We did not check the wells!”
” How could the kids fall in the well? The wells are well covered,” a villager spoke up. They all were worried that the children would fall in the wells and thus they all covered the wells with wooden lids to make sure that the children would not fall in the well.
” We should still check it,” said Wu Junfen with a frown, she did not want to think the worst of the villagers but just now she really did not sense the presence of life and death on the mountain. So it needed to be noted that the wells were yet to be checked.
When the villagers heard Wu Junfen’s tone they all knew that something was wrong. They all exchanged a glance with one another and did not say anything, they knew one thing for sure there were many villagers who were jealous of Yu Dong. What if someone really did something?
Even Aunt Wang felt like something was done by the villagers.
Zhu Qian almost fainted when he heard that they were going to check the wells. The wells were full of water and the lid was closed on top of that, if the children were left inside, they would definitely be not able to survive.
Even Fang Chi and the rest of the mers were also surprised. They all looked at one another before Fang Chi stumbled on his feet and almost fell on the ground if not for the mammies holding him up.
Yu …Yu Mai was locked in the well? How could this be done? If the two kids were locked in the well then if they were locked what were the chances of them surviving?
” It’s all my fault! I was the one who did not pay attention to the kids allowing some villainous person to do something like this!” Fang Chi cried as he covered his hands and whimpered. Now how would he look Yu Dong in the eye?
The women’s faces were stiff as well. If the kids were thrown in the well then it could only mean one thing and that was that there was someone evil residing within their village. Even the mercenaries were kind enough to kill the children at once rather than leaving them to die slowly by suffocation! Read exclusive content at m_v-l’-NovelFire
The village women rushed to the wells and opened the wells one by one before long they came to a stop in front of the well that had fresh footprints. They all paused and looked at one another before Village Head Gu said sullenly, ” What are you all waiting for? Open the well and someone call for Wu Junfen and Aunt Wang!”
” Yes!”
One-half of the village women rushed to call Wu Junfen while the other half moved to pick up the wooden lid that was sitting on top of the well. With a great huff, the two women picked up the lid and sure enough!
They saw Yu Mai and Lang Ru floating on top of the water!
” They are here! The kids are really here!”
” How treacherous! Someone threw the kids inside!”
” Who could be this cruel?”
Chatter burst through the crowd as one woman looked at another waiting for them to do something until Wu Junfen rushed at the scene and jumped inside the well without a care.
With a splash she fell into the well and then looked at the two kids when she saw that the two of them were unconscious because they inhaled too much water because of being left in the well for too long, her expression turned grim.
Wu Junfen turned to look at the crowd that was standing around the well and then shouted, ” What are you looking at? Throw something down so that you can take the kids out!”
Were they all waiting for the kids to die or something?
When the villagers heard Wu Junfen’s shouts, they were startled. The kids were alive?
” They are alive the kids are alive!” One of the women shouted as she rushed to get a makeshift stretcher that they all tied carefully before making it drop into the well to make sure that the kids would not fall in the well again.
Wu Junfen first sent Lang Ru up as she was the one who had inhaled too much water before sending Yu Mai up. She then climbed the rope on her own and headed out of the well before saying, ” Call a mer, I will teach him how to take water out of Yu Mai’s lungs.”
Though she would have dealt with the matter alone, she knew how terrible rumours could be. If she were to use CPR on Yu Mai then others would still make terrible rumours about the child even if he was years younger than her.
In a hurry, Ye Liu rushed towards Wu Junfen and said, ” Teach me, I will do it.”
Fang Chi was too vulnerable at the moment and Chen Mi and Xiao Hua —— those two were too unconfident when it came to such matters. Thus, Ye Liu could only shoulder this matter on his shoulders!
