Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 20)
 

Therefore, since then, Di Yelei had said that he would surely raise these two little dogs well, until they died of old age.

But at this moment, Ah-Hua had disappeared in the karst cave. Could it be…

Could it be that it was swallowed by that giant python?

As soon as this idea came up, everyone fell silent.

The group, once again embarking on their journey, each took every step with great caution. No one dared to act rashly.

The original two little dogs had become one now. Ah-Huang was firmly held by Di Xuan. It panted heavily as it walked, appearing very fierce but also somewhat lonely.

This time, everyone learned their lesson, they kept well away from the sight of the poisonous snakes. If they really couldn’t avoid them, they would pick them up with a bamboo stick and throw them away. When encountering other poisonous insects, they were ruthless in their actions.

Liu Sisi’s mind was very chaotic. However, fortunately, their group was small but well-prepared. Each of them held a torch in their hands and carried two more, illuminating everything around them brightly.

Many light-fearing poisonous insects would directly avoid it when they saw the group.

However, doing so was also very dangerous. If they really encountered the large wild beasts, it would have been the end! Fortunately, they haven’t encountered large carnivorous animals here yet.

Or it can be said that the complex topography of this karst cave and the small passages between caves limit the entry of large carnivorous animals. In addition, humans often set foot here, which eliminates many unknown dangers.

Liu Sisi and the others’ journey was slow. As they passed through the second karst cave and were preparing to go to the third one, Ah-Huang in Di Xuan’s hand suddenly began to bark furiously!

It broke free from Di Xuan’s hand and heroically lunged forward.

“Ah-Huang!”

Without any hesitation, Liu Sisi immediately led everyone to chase after it.

She initially thought that Ah-Huang had found Ah-Hua or had encountered prey again. But not until she entered the third cave did she realize something was wrong.

Under the illumination of firelight, the one wrestling with Ah-Huang was surprisingly a raggedly dressed man!

Liu Sisi was very sure that this man was not under Di Yelei’s command.

“Quickly! Go! Catch him!”

Liu Sisi immediately ordered and pulled Di Xuan behind her, retreating to a hidden place and blocking him with her body.

The group might have been afraid to deal with the python, but as soon as they saw the man entangled with Ah-Huang and appearing in this cave, they all rushed forward and tried to seize him.

This man was none other than the eldest brother of the Jiang family. He was originally immobilized by Old Man Li’s scheme and the snake poison. But when Old Man Li intended to strike first and attacked Jiang Xiaocai, the two men’s fight accidentally kicked him down the slope, making him roll into the small pond.

Afterwards, everything happened just as Zuo Xingyu had conjectured. By some strange chance, he was able to neutralize the poison and barely move.

Of course, he also heard the noises over there. From the initial concentration to the later sudden silence, he thought his little brother had been dealt with. Thinking about his body, which was still not flexible even after the poison had been neutralized, going up could only mean death, so he snuck away silently towards the other side. Unexpectedly, he fell into the rapids.

It was just his life wasn’t meant to end yet. When he was washed away, he promptly grabbed a stalactite. He didn’t get washed far away and managed to climb ashore. Then, he tried to escape towards the entrance he remembered.

Unexpectedly, he ran straight into Liu Sisi and the others who were entering from this side!

At this moment, most of the snake poison in his body had been neutralized. However, he was so hungry that he was seeing stars, and Ah-Huang was doggedly holding his bite.

Seeing so many people gathering around, he could no longer care about anything else. He clenched his teeth, suddenly fell backward, and directly tumbled down into the waterhole.

Even if he were to die, he would never let these people catch him!

Falling into the waterhole was a high-risk move, but it was better than having no chance of survival.

“Ah-Huang!”

Liu Sisi cried out loudly!

At this moment, she finally understood how Di Yelei felt when Ah-Hua fell into the wind hole. She saw the crowd making Ah-Huang fall straight back, rolling down the slope directly. After several tumbling on various stone flowers and mantles, he fell along with the waterfall into the deep pool below.

“Ah-Huang! Ah-Huang!”

Almost everyone was shouting, but the drop of this waterhole was too great, and the torch couldn’t illuminate the bottom. Below, aside from the thunderous rumbling of the water, they could see nothing.

In the darkness, the “thud, thud, thud” sound of falling into the water hole was like a strike to everyone’s heart, stupefying them all.

“Madam, what should we do now?”

“What should we do? Naturally, we should prepare the rope and get ready to go down to save… No, save the dog! As for the person, whether they’re alive or dead doesn’t matter, just bring his corpse back to me!”

At this moment, Liu Sisi wished she could brutally kill that person. How could she leave a way for him to live?

“Yes, Madam!”

With a goal in mind, everyone moved much faster and began to prepare for descending into the water hole. The hemp rope was brought in from outside the cave and tied to the stalactite above. Then it was unrolled down the hole, and the search for people began.

On the other side.

Di Yelei had been searching inside the cave when he heard a dog barking all of a sudden.

How could there be a dog in the cave?

Di Yelei shook his head, assuming he had misheard, and continued on his way.

But after a moment, a joyous shout came from up ahead: “Your Honor, it’s Ah-Hua! Ah-Hua is here!”

Ah-Hua was here? How could Ah-Hua show up here?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Di Yelei was overjoyed at first, and then he quickly went up. Indeed it was Ah-Hua. Seeing the people, she continuously wagged her tail and rushed to Di Yelei’s side, whimpering. He quickly stroked her head for a while, and couldn’t help patting Ah-Hua softly.

“Ah-Hua, how did you get here? Did Sisi come too? Where are they? Please lead us there quickly.”

He was not sure if Ah-Hua understood, but she stood up, barked a few times, and then darted away.

“Quick! Everyone, follow.”

Without any doubt, Di Yelei knew that both Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua were purebred hunting dog puppies. They had followed him hunting in the mountains when they were young. If Ah-Hua led the way, there was no need to worry about getting lost.

Back to Liu Sisi’s side.

The sound of waterfall and its flowing water continued to come out of the waterhole, almost deafening.

People had started to descend into the waterhole one after another, and for fear of danger, everyone was tied up with hemp ropes, and also carried knives, in case of any unexpected event.

As more and more people descended, there was no information coming up from below, making everyone anxious.

“What’s the time now?”

“Madam, it is now the hour of Chen.”

It was the hour of Chen already? It was already daylight outside! Liu Sisi’s eyes darkened. Had it already been two days and two nights?
