Chapter 263 Go Collectively Harvest Rice (3)
Mu Caixia smiled and said: "Yes, there is indeed a spring well there, and it is very cool in summer, and it tastes sweet and delicious. I thought I hadn't married into your family yet, so I went to work in the fields with my family. When I was alive, the water I brought was not enough to drink, so I still drank the water there.”

"That's good. It must be delicious to use that water to cook porridge. Now that the weather is hot, not only Bai Qingli's father can't eat, but everyone's appetite is also poor. Now that everyone is working so hard, they can't eat anymore, so I must go to the innermost part of the valley to fetch some water and cook delicious meals for everyone." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"But it's quite far from here, how can you choose such a long way?" Mu Caixia disapproved.

"It's nothing, the big deal is to let the big guard who followed me help pick it." Gu Xiaobei said indifferently, seeing everyone working so hard, she really wanted to cook some delicious food for everyone and let them eat more.

"Why don't we let the two guards choose." Mu Caixia said with some concern.

"No way! The guards don't know the way, and everyone is tired of home-cooked meals. I want to pick some wild vegetables for everyone to try while carrying water. The guards not only don't know the way, but they won't recognize the ones I want to pick. For wild vegetables, I have to go there myself!" Gu Xiaobei said firmly.

"How about I go with you?" Mu Caixia suggested.

Gu Xiaobei resolutely refused: "No, you have such a big body, and the mountain road is rough, if you accidentally fall and break it, how can I feel sorry for your elder brother and you?"

Mu Caixia knew what Gu Xiaobei wanted to do, and no one could persuade her, so she gave up trying to persuade her, and said: "Then you have to be careful, and take more guards with you."

"it is good!"

Gu Xiaobei smiled and agreed, then picked up a pair of wooden barrels, called ten guards, and set off towards the depths of the valley.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Xiaobei finally brought ten guards along the small mountain road to the deepest part of the valley, only one mile away from the spring well, and he could see the spring well. When he was walking, his feet were suddenly empty, and the mountain road suddenly collapsed. Gu Xiaobei was startled, and before he could react, he was pulled from behind.

"Young Madam, be careful!" The closest guard behind her picked up Gu Xiaobei's collar, but the people behind were too close for him, so he had nowhere to put Xiaobei, so he took advantage of the situation and gently threw Gu Xiaobei to the ground. I went to the other side, anyway Gu Xiaobei was going to fetch spring water.

Gu Xiaobei stood firm, turned quickly and said to the guards behind him: "It has been raining a lot these days, this section of the mountain road has been softened, don't follow, otherwise the mountain road will collapse, even if we are not injured, I can't go out either!"

Hearing this, the ten guards took a closer look, only to find that they were walking on a path split on the cliff, and there was no other way to the outside beyond this path, and this path was really softened That's why Gu Xiaobei stepped on the section of the road just now. Gu Xiaobei is so light that he can make a section of the path collapse. If they all pass by, the path will collapse even more, and they will not be able to get out by then.

"But the weight of the two buckets of water you carry is quite a lot, and it will also cause the road to collapse." A guard said.

Gu Xiaobei said: "No, we only need two half buckets of water. I can lift half of the bucket for you to take over, and then bring the other half of the bucket, so that it is not too heavy. It collapsed, and you can see me, although it is not very clear, but you can also see my figure, if something happens, it will not be too late for you to run over."

The ten discussed with each other for a while, and they all felt that Gu Xiaobei's analysis was right, so they agreed with Gu Xiaobei's words and stood where they were.

Gu Xiaobei smiled and turned around and walked towards the deepest mountain spring one mile away.

Mu Caixia, who was waiting on the shore, was very disturbed when she saw that Gu Xiaobei and the others hadn't come back for a long time.

After Gu Xiaobei left, Bai Qiaoer came ashore not long after, knowing that Gu Xiaobei went to fetch water, she didn't think much about it, she just thought that Gu Xiaobei was cooking for everyone with all his heart.But after waiting for a long time and seeing Gu Xiaobei not come back, she finally couldn't help asking Mu Caixia: "Sister Caixia, don't you expect my sister-in-law to pick up some water and come back soon? Haven't come back yet?"

"I don't know either. Normally, they should be back in half an hour." Mu Caixia frowned.

"It's not good, the young lady is gone!"

At this time, two guards ran towards them and shouted loudly.

Mu Caixia's eyes widened, unexpectedly something happened to Gu Xiaobei!

"What? My little sister is gone?" When the three Gu Datian brothers, Bai Kuotian and others heard the news in the field, they immediately turned pale with shock and went ashore one after another.

"What's going on?" Bai Kuotian asked angrily the two guards who ran close.

"The young lady went to get water from the spring, the path collapsed, so we stayed outside, but we kept seeing the young lady fetching water by the mountain spring for a long time and didn't come out. We waited for a long time, and felt something was wrong. When we went in, we found that the young lady was gone. , and that figure has always been the young lady's coat hanging on the small tree by the spring! We searched for a long time but couldn't find the young lady, so we left eight people to continue searching, and the two of us came back to report." One The guard said while panting.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Everyone hurry up and find someone!" Bai Kuotian shouted loudly as soon as the guard finished speaking.

Gu Sanlin immediately commanded [-] guards unceremoniously: "Half of the guards stay to protect the women, and half of the guards follow us guys to find my little sister, we must find it, otherwise we won't come !"

"Yes!"

The guards were well-trained and quickly divided into two groups. One group stayed behind to protect Mu Caixia and others, and the other group followed Gu Sanlin and others to find Gu Xiaobei.

However, more than 100 people searched for a long time in several nearby buildings. They couldn't find Gu Xiaobei until late at night, and they couldn't find Gu Xiaobei after three consecutive days.

Everyone was both worried and afraid, afraid that something bad might happen to Gu Xiaobei.No matter what others say, the three brothers of Gu Datian did not give up looking for Gu Xiaobei. The three brothers and their guards searched for Gu Xiaobei day and night. .” Otherwise they would never have given up looking.

Bai Kuotian thought for a long time, and finally wrote to Bai Qingli.

On the fourth day, someone finally came to deliver the letter to them.

When they saw the contents of the letter, everyone was both surprised and happy. They were happy that Gu Xiaobei was not dead but was arrested. They were surprised that they really couldn't meet the conditions proposed by the other party!
"Hey!" Gu Xiaobei woke up slowly, and found that her hands and feet were tied up. She looked around and found that the surroundings were dark. She didn't know where it was or what was going on.
