Chapter 122 The Frustrated Old 8
Chapter 122 The Frustrated Old 8
Lao Ba suddenly looked up at the boxes in front of him and the extra bookshelves. He stood up angrily and threw all the books on the bookshelves into a mess. Even the extremely precious medicinal materials in the boxes were thrown everywhere by Lao Ba. After venting his anger, Lao Ba sat in a corner in a daze.
Old Eight, who was in the cave, didn't know that the village chief's house in Xinghua Village was about to be demolished. When Old Nine and Old Ten woke up and found that their father was not lying in bed, they were very happy, thinking that their starlings should have woken up. But unexpectedly, when they went to look for their starlings, they couldn't find them. They searched the village chief's house, even the whole village, and even went to the cemetery behind, but still didn't see the figure they wanted to see!
The fourth brother was so angry that he was constantly emitting cold air. His men were kneeling in the middle of the yard. They had arranged for someone to keep watch last night, but they had been traveling day and night for a while, and they had been tense all the time. They finally rested, and no matter how hard they tried to cheer themselves up, they still closed their eyes. It was because of that short time that they didn't notice when the eighth brother left!
Originally, the Fourth Brother felt that there were big problems with his subordinates because of the disappearance of the Eighth Brother. Now, someone has disappeared right under their noses. It would be strange if the Fourth Brother was not angry. He was almost going crazy. He always felt that he was satisfied with his subordinates, but now it seems that they all have to go back to the Anbu for training!
The fourth brother didn't let them kneel for long. They were really short of manpower, so they quickly sent them to the mountain to look for her. This was also the reminder of the village chief. When the eighth brother was in their village, he often accompanied Yunyan to the mountain, so they guessed that she had gone to the mountain. After all, the whole village had searched for a living person, so it was impossible for her to disappear for no reason. Moreover, although they slept soundly last night, they were not very well. If someone really came to catch their mother, they couldn't have heard any movement. They were not tricked!
But Lao Si and his companions searched for Lao Ba anxiously for three days and three nights, but they still couldn't find Lao Ba. Just when they were about to go to the capital to mobilize troops to search the mountains, suddenly a villager came to tell Lao Si and his companions that they saw Lao Ba coming back. Lao Jiu and Lao Shi didn't even confirm the correctness of the news, and ran directly to the place where the villagers said. Lao Si also chased after them without thinking, and when he caught up, he saw Lao Jiu and Lao Shi surrounding Lao Ba and asking about his well-being!
Lao Jiu: "My dear, where have you been these past few days? We have searched the whole village and couldn't find you. You are driving us crazy. Don't you know that you are not in good health? Why are you running around everywhere?"
Lao Shi: "Myna..., are you okay? Where have you been these past few days? We have searched the entire mountain, but we couldn't find any trace of you. Where did you go?"
Lao Ba didn't say anything, but looked at Lao Jiu and Lao Shi with an expressionless face. Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were a little panicked. They always felt that something had happened to their Ba Ge. Something must have happened in the past few days, something they didn't know about!
Lao Jiu asked anxiously, "Myna, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell? If you are feeling unwell, tell me and I will call a doctor! Don't scare me! Where have you been these days? Why have we almost searched the whole mountain? Why can't we find you?"
Lao Ba looked up at the sky, at the warm sun, but he could not feel any warmth at all. He just felt like he had fallen into ice. It was so cold that he couldn't even open his mouth!
The fourth brother looked at the eighth brother who had lost all motivation and couldn't help but sigh deeply. Deep in his heart, he once again felt that his father had gone too far. If he really didn't want to agree to the eighth brother's request, why did he need to kill him to silence him? Didn't he know that this would only deepen Miss Yunyan's position in the eighth brother's heart? The eighth brother probably would never forget Miss Yunyan in his life. They had separated at the time when their love was the strongest, but Miss Yunyan was no longer around. Their love would only stay at its strongest!
The fourth brother looked apologetic and just said, "Glad you're back!"
Old Eight looked at Old Four with a calm look in his eyes, which made Old Four and the others feel very sad. They had no idea what Old Eight had been through to go from being full of resentment to being calm and peaceful in just three short days!
Lao Ba said in his hoarse voice: "Is there any hot water? I want to take a bath!"
Lao Shi said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, how could there not be any? Brother Ba, I'll have someone prepare it right away!"
After Lao Shi finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Lao Si's men, who turned around and ran quickly to the village chief's house. They were so fast that only a shadow was left. It was obvious how excited he was! How could they not be excited? The other men only hated that they were standing in the wrong position, otherwise they could run faster. They were originally waiting for punishment, and now that the Eighth Master had finally returned, they were not diligent. Did they want to be retrained? Although they knew that they would be punished when they returned to the capital, if they behaved better now, the punishment would be lighter!
The eighth brother returned to the village chief's house, drove the ninth brother out, and took a bath. He was very quick and cleaned himself up quickly. After drinking a bowl of light porridge, he said to the fourth brother and the others, "What did you do in the past three days?"
When Lao Si, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi heard Lao Ba's calm tone, they were a little surprised, but soon, Lao Jiu and the others reacted and quickly told Lao Ba what they had done in the past few days. Lao Ba did not react at all, but just nodded and said lightly: "Are all the people I sent dead?"
The Ninth and Tenth Brothers felt that their Eighth Brother and their Fourth Brother were now on par with each other. Their Fourth Brother's coldness was on the surface, while their Eighth Brother's coldness was on the inside, making people feel even colder!
The ninth and tenth brothers both liked the fourth brother. They had been busy looking for the eighth brother these days and had not thought about this issue at all. The fourth brother didn't know how to start the conversation. He did find out something, but it was precisely because of that that he found it even more difficult to start talking!
