The dinner was cooked, and everyone had a few bites before they were in the mood to eat any more.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was almost time to go to bed, but none of the men sent out by the old Yang family came back.

In the yard next door, Lao Suntou was worried and came over twice.

Accompanying Lao Yangtou, he smoked cigarettes, drank tea, kept his eyes open, etc.

Later, Mrs. Tan couldn't bear it any longer and sat there dozing off.

"Mom, please help me go back to the house to sleep. You can go and rest yourself. I'll wait here with my father." Yang Ruoqing said.

Waiting and waiting, until finally, Lao Suntou couldn't bear it anymore and went back. Lao Yangtou also lay down on the table and dozed off. Yang Ruoqing was the only one still sitting there with her eyes open.

She suspected that Luo Fengtang might have gone to Qing'an County.

Horse King is not an ordinary horse. If Luo Fengtang rides it alone, he can save half the time of riding a carriage to Qing'an County.

But what Yang Ruoqing couldn't understand was that if Luo Fengtang went to Qing'an County, then everyone else would return one after another. Why didn't anyone come back?

What is this situation? She frowned, and she couldn't calm down anymore.

The fifth uncle is the person closest to him, and his three siblings were also raised by his fifth uncle.

When she was a child, whether it was when she was crazy or when she was starting her business, Uncle Wu was the person who treated her best besides her parents.

Uncle Wu is also her right-hand man in the family restaurant.

From Qingshui Town at the beginning, to Wanghai County later, and to Qing’an County today,

She asked Uncle Wu to take care of the place. Uncle Wu didn't say a word and left without packing his luggage.

During this period, Uncle Wu also went to Xiushui Town in the south and even stayed in Licheng for a year and a half.

In the past few years, the restaurant has developed so well and opened branches in many places, and Uncle Wu has half of the credit.

Dealing with the local black and white forces and contacting and adjusting with various forces are all done by Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu is his right-hand man, his relative, his elder, and his father's younger brother.

The fifth aunt also went all out to support the fifth uncle and her business, Yang Ruoqing.

Even the two young children Dabao and Mianmian followed their parents away from the familiar village to live in Qing'an County...

Fifth uncle, fifth aunt, Dabao, Mianmian, please don’t let anything happen to you!

Yang Ruoqing prayed in her heart, and from time to time went out of the courtyard door to look on the road.

There was no one on the road, only the cold wind blowing.

Yang Ruoqing stood on the roadside in the cold wind, looking in the direction of Qingshui Town, and tightened her coat.

Late at night like this, none of the men sent by the family to look for her came back. Yang Ruoqing felt empty in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly realized how warm and solid the word family was!

Without these family members, uncles, and cousins ​​to help me, I would be alone!

In the second half of the night, except for Luo Fengtang and his fifth uncle and his fifth aunt, all the other people who went out to look for him came back.

In Yang Yongxian's carriage, Mianmian and Dabao both fell asleep. Brothers Yang Yongxian and Yang Yongzhi took them out of the carriage and sent them directly to Sun's house in the backyard to sleep.

"Where are your fifth uncle and fifth aunt? Why are the two children back?" Mrs. Sun asked anxiously, wearing her coat.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I don't know the situation yet. I will go to the front yard to inquire carefully later. Mom, take care of Mianmian and Dabao first."

"Okay, I'll watch. Qing'er, go to the front yard and ask what's going on!"

…

In the front yard, when Yang Ruoqing came back in a hurry, she happened to see Yang Yongjin smash his fist on the table in front of him.

The faces of the others were also heavier than the last.

"I'm here, what's going on? Where are Uncle Wu and Tang Yazi?" Yang Ruoqing asked as she came in.

Yang Yongjin raised his face, which was twisted with anger, and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, our restaurant encountered a gangster who was looking for trouble. Uncle Wu was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and one of his fingers was chopped off!"

"What?"

Yang Ruoqing's pupils widened, thinking she had heard wrongly.

I have been traveling around for several years, I am flexible and flexible, and I have never had to deal with local snakes once or twice.

At most, it is a loss of money to eliminate disaster, but I have never suffered such a loss!

Yang Ruoqing's face suddenly turned livid, and her fists clenched loudly.

She sat down on a stool and gritted her teeth and said, "Who did it? What happened? Tell me word for word!"

Yang Yongxian said: "Second brother is too excited to speak carefully. Let third uncle do the talking!"

Yang Huazhong was sitting on the threshold with a particularly ugly face. Hearing this, he raised his hand and waved: "My heart is... blocked, blocked. Yongxian, it's you, you say it!"

Yang Yongxian said: "But Yongzhi and I met you and your second brother, the third uncle, on the way. The two of us didn't pick up the fifth uncle and the others. We were afraid that we were not careful..."

"Okay, okay, let anyone say it, I'm almost dying of anxiety!" Lao Yangtou banged the dry tobacco pole on the table a few times and said loudly.

Yang Ruoqing also said, "Second brother, tell me, hurry up!"

Yang Yongjin nodded, "Okay, let me tell you."

He took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger that was about to burst out of his body, and spoke:

"At that time, my third uncle and Tang Yazi went out to pick up my fifth uncle and the others. When we were walking on the road, Tang Yazi discussed it with me."

"He asked us to walk behind, and he rode a fast horse to the front first, and then we kept looking like this."

"When my third uncle and I walked out of Qingshui Town and were about to go up the official road to the county seat, Tang Yazi came back from the front."

"He said that he walked all the way to the county seat and didn't encounter Uncle Wu or the others along the way."

"When Tang Yazi said this, the sun had already set to the west, but it had not yet set."

"What we were thinking at the time was, might Uncle Wu and the others suddenly change their mind and not come back during the Double Ninth Festival? If we continue to go forward to pick them up like this stupidly, we won't be able to pick them up in Qing'an County."

"The three of us were planning to return to the village. Just then, a carriage came from the official road. The driver was Brother Xu Mangxu."

"Brother Xu got off the carriage immediately when he saw us. He told us that he was going to Changping Village to find us."

"Brother Xu took Dabao and Mianmian out of the car. He told us that he met our fifth uncle and his carriage on the way."

"The fifth aunt said that we wanted to rush home, but the fifth uncle was injured and they could not continue on their way. The fifth aunt asked the driver to take the fifth uncle to Yihechun Medical Center in the county."

"Entrust Brother Xu to send back a pair of children and inform the family!" Yang Yongjin said.

"Then what?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"Why did Uncle Wu get hurt?" she asked again.
