Chapter 71

Under the care of Li Shishi and Yu Xue, Gongsun Qing's health improved a lot.

Although it is still difficult to get out of bed, but fortunately the fever is gone.

After spending two or three days on the mountain, Li Shishi decided to go down the mountain no matter what.

After all, Aunt Wu and the children don't know their own situation yet, so they have to report for safety and discuss countermeasures.

In the morning, Li Shishi went to catch fish again, while Yu Xue went to pick some wild vegetables and came back.

In addition to the remaining food, it is enough to supply for a few days.

After descending the mountain, Li Shishi went straight to the town.

It's just that when they finally arrived at Wu's restaurant, they found that the door of the restaurant was closed.

Standing at the door, Li Shishi knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out.

At this time, it should be when the restaurant is open. Where did they go?

Li Shishi stood at the door and watched for a long while, but she didn't even see anyone.

She was wondering, when she heard a plop behind her.

She was startled, and when she looked back, she saw Aunt Wu sitting on the ground.

"You're back? You're not dead!" Aunt Wu was so surprised when she saw Li Shishi appearing suddenly, she didn't even bother to pick up the vegetable basket that fell on the ground, she quickly stood up from the ground and was about to pounce on Li Shishi.

Li Shishi was caught off guard by her move, but she still supported her firmly.

"Son, you're back, what's the matter, are you injured..." Aunt Wu grabbed Li Shishi's arm with both hands, and looked him up and down carefully.

Seeing that her eyes were flushed and her expression was full of worry, Li Shishi hurriedly said: "Look, I'm fine, isn't it a good return?"

"Okay, okay, just come back. I can't find you these two days. We are almost worried to death. I'm afraid that something happened to you, where did you go?"

Li Shishi didn't know how to explain to Aunt Wu what had happened in the past few days. Firstly, she was afraid that they would be worried, and secondly, she was afraid that walls had ears.

Seeing that Li Shishi didn't speak, Aunt Wu looked a little nervous: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"No, no, I have nothing to do. Do you think I am back?" Li Shishi smiled, and then changed the subject: "By the way, why is the store closed? Is it because the business is not good?"

Aunt Wu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then shook her head and said, "No, thanks to you, the business has always been very good. It's just that since you were taken away, everyone was worried about your safety and had no intention of running the restaurant. I went to the yamen gate to inquire, and Yuanyuan is at home looking after the children. I'll come to the restaurant to have a look."

Li Shishi looked at Aunt Wu and listened to her words, her heart felt as warm as soaking in warm water.

She hugged Aunt Wu gently, and said from the bottom of her heart: "I made you worry."

"It's okay, as long as you can come back safely." Aunt Wu patted Li Shishi's back lightly, and then smiled through tears: "It's good to be back, let's go into the house quickly, I guess Tiansheng will come back, let's go into the house wait."

Li Shishi nodded, let go of Aunt Wu, then picked up the vegetable basket, and followed Aunt Wu into the house.

As soon as she put down the vegetable basket, she heard Wu Tiansheng's voice outside the door.

"Mother! There's news! I went to the yamen to inquire just now, and a man said that he seemed to have seen Shishi go to Longquan Mountain. I will go to the mountain to look for it in a while!"

Hearing this, Li Shishi hurriedly opened the curtain, looked at Wu Tiansheng who had rushed back from the outside, and said, "There's no need to look for it, I'm back."

Wu Tiansheng turned his head and saw Li Shishi.

He was stunned for a moment, then surprised. After a long time, he stammered and said, "You...you're back?"

Obviously, Li Shishi's sudden appearance surprised Wu Tiansheng.

He hurriedly walked up to Li Shishi, wanting to reach out his hand to see if the person in front of him was real or not, but he didn't dare to reach out.

He just stood in front of Li Shishi and asked again: "Are you back? Are you really back?"

Li Shishi smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Well, I'm back, I made you worry..."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shishi saw that the eyes of this man who was about to turn [-] were red, and the corners of his mouth were curled down, as if he was about to cry but did not dare to cry.

Aunt Wu walked up to her son, patted him on the back and smiled, "Scared? Didn't you come back? We don't have to go to the mountains anymore."

Wu Tiansheng nodded his head like a rattle drum, and tears fell everywhere.

Li Shishi had never seen a grown man cry, and seeing him so moved made her feel uncomfortable.

"I went to the medical center and saw the hairpin you dropped on the ground. We thought..."

"Hey! Shut up, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have." Aunt Wu hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her.

But this was still heard clearly by Li Shishi, and then she asked: "Have you gone to the hospital?"

Wu Tiansheng didn't dare to speak anymore, he just nodded silently.

Aunt Wu didn't want to bring up this matter at first, but seeing her son, there was no one to tell the truth, and she told all about their going to the hospital, so she couldn't hide it from herself.

So he said: "The day you were taken away, we went to the medical clinic, but there was no one in the medical clinic. We searched around and only saw the hairpin you dropped on the ground...so..."

"Then you didn't see anything else?" Li Shishi asked tentatively.

Aunt Wu shook her head, she didn't dare to mention the bloody scene she saw that day, let alone the fact that they thought Li Shishi was dead.

So she avoided Wu Tiansheng's words, and then took out the hairpin from her bosom and handed it to Li Shishi.

"We found this in the medical hall. Look, is it the one you lost?"

Li Shishi took it over and took a look, it was indeed the hairpin she dropped earlier.

So she nodded, and then put the hairpin on her head again.

"I've been missing for two days, are the children okay?"

"The children are all very well. They just think you are out to do some errands, and they don't tell them, for fear that the children will worry."

"That's good."

Li Shishi was most worried about her two children. If it wasn't for the need to treat Gongsun Qing, she would have brought Yu Xue back long ago.

It's just that the plans don't change that fast.

Because of Gongsun Qing's matter, she was delayed on the mountain for several days, otherwise Aunt Wu wouldn't be worried until now.

Thinking of this, she thought that she had to go to Honglai Inn to report the news and hand over Gongsun Qing to the people around him, so that she could bring Yu Xue down the mountain.

Then she hurried out of the restaurant.

Seeing that Li Shishi was about to leave, Aunt Wu hurriedly chased her out to stop her: "What are you doing?"

Li Shishi said: "I still have something to do, I have to go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

Seeing this, Aunt Wu hurriedly grabbed Li Shishi: "No, you can't go alone, I have to go with you."

As she said that, she turned her head and called for her son, and was about to leave with Li Shishi.

Seeing this, Li Shishi hurriedly said, "No need, I can go by myself."

"That can't be done!" Aunt Wu said, clutching Li Shishi's hand: "This time, we have to bring everything with us, and we must not let you go by yourself!"
