Chapter 347 Gone.
When Yu Dong woke up early in the morning, the first thing she did was to knock on Shen Li and Ye Liu’s doors but surprisingly even after knocking for quite some time, she didn’t receive any response from inside their rooms and one after another she realised that they were not at home. Surprised, she went to look at the back yard and then checked the front yard as well, but the two of them were nowhere to be found, in the end, she marched inside the kitchen but there was no one as well.She blinked and then she knocked on Chen Mi’s door, earlier she planned to call Doctor Xin of the village and have the two checked together with Fang Chi, after all, Fang Chi was still in the earlier stages of his pregnancy so she couldn’t make him travel on the uneven path of the village without causing him discomfort. That was why she planned to have them all checked by Doctor Xin together and in case she couldn’t find out what was wrong with the two of them, only then she would have brought them to the town.
But they weren’t at home! Now, what should she do?
Since Fang Chi was pregnant she didn’t find it convenient to wake him so early in the morning, so she knocked on Chen Mi’s door knowing that he might be already up by now if Shen Li and Ye Liu left, they would have told Chen Mi to wake up and cook breakfast in their place but surprisingly again to her shock, Chen Mi was still sleeping! When she knocked on his door, the latter didn’t respond for a long time.
If not for his door being locked she would have thought that all three husbands of hers decided to run away from the home together.
When she didn’t receive any response from Chen Mi she once again knocked on his door as she whisper shouted, ” Mi? MI?? Wake up, I need to ask you something.”
Because there was Yu Mai, Little bun and Fang Chi sleeping she couldn’t shout and make a racket early in the morning, which was why it took her a long time for her to wake Chen Mi up. When the latter woke up, he looked at her with an annoyed expression as he peered out of the window and whined, “It’s not even dawn wife, what are you calling me for so early in the morning?”
Yu Dong too was in an awkward situation, she too didn’t want to wake Chen Mi up but Shen Li and Ye Liu’s sudden absence was making her nervous. Before this they haven’t left the house without telling her where they were going and like Chen Mi said, it wasn’t even dawn yet… so where did they go at such an hour and with whom?
She wasn’t doubting them but she was worried about them if they went out without taking someone with them when the dawn was yet to break and the entire village was still veiled with a light veil of darkness. What if they met trouble on their way?
”It’s Li and Liu, I can’t find them,” said Yu Dong as she worriedly rubbed her hands and looked at Chen Mi who was leaning against the door frame and sharply added, ” They didn’t tell me where they are going and just left one their own, it’s still early and the sky is still dark where did they go? They could have at least waited for the dawn to break right? Did they tell you where they are going?”
Now Chen Mi was completely awake, he looked at Yu Dong’s worried face and started feeling a bit worried too, she was right. This has never happened before, why did they leave so early in the morning without telling anyone anything, yet he couldn’t jump to any conclusions without thinking everything through. So, he shook his head and patted Yu Dong’s upper arm and said, ” Don’t worry wife, my brothers are wise adults, they wouldn’t leave the house without any reason, maybe they had something to do and forgot to tell you, why don’t we do this, we will wait for them for a few hours and then ask around for them, if we jump on conclusions who knows what will happen, maybe they just went to buy something that finished up at our house then it will only create unnecessary trouble for everyone.”
Yu Dong too thought that Chen Mi was right, even the Yamen wouldn’t help her just because her husbands were missing for two hours or so. So, even though she was worried, she still controlled herself—— ” I will go and cook something for you all.”
” I will cook, wife——” suggested Chen Mi but he was rejected by Yu Dong who still looked a bit anxious. “I have to do something or else I will not be able to calm down.” Then she walked away to the kitchen and Chen Mi worriedly watched her go before he draped a shawl over his shoulders and rushed out into the backyard where he hurriedly knocked on the Lang family’s house.
Lang was awake when Chen Mi knocked on her door, she has just returned home after finishing her guard duty at night on the fields and was about to take a nap when Chen Mi came, he opened the door and was surprised to find Chen Mi looking pan in stricken. ” What’s wrong brother Mi? Did something happen?”
Chen Mi looked over his shoulder and in the spur of the moment caught Lang’s wrist and dragged her outside. Lang was surprised by his actions and wanted to stop him, if someone saw him holding her hand then even if the two jumped in the yellow river they won’t be able to wash themselves clean. “Brother Mi—-“
” I want you to go and look for brother Li and brother Liu,” said Chen Mi interrupting Lang at once. ” They were worried about their health yesterday and I think that maybe they have gone to have a check-up because they were worried about negative news they might have gone to the town without informing wife, I want you to look for them and in case you find them, remember to tell them not to do anything stupid and come back home.”
