Chapter 511: Wolves Have Come Down the Mountain
After Liu's father and mother saw the festival gifts Fu Yan Cheng had brought, they didn't know what to say: "You child, why did you prepare so much?"
Fu Yan Cheng looked at the prepared items: "The gray fabric is for uncle, the blue fabric is for aunt, and that piece of army-green fabric is for Chunxiao. It gets colder day by day after the Mid-Autumn Festival; it's just right for making clothes."
Having finished speaking, he looked at Liu Chuxue beside him: "As for Liu Chuxue's seasonal clothes, I'll take her to the department store later to buy ready-made ones."
Besides these fabrics, there were also two boxes of Daoxiang Village mooncakes, two cartons of Daqian Sect cigarettes, two bottles of Moutai, five jin of pork belly, five jin of beef, and several cans of luncheon meat; each one was a heavy gift.
Seeing her mother still wanting to speak, Liu Chuxue said: "No matter how much, it's Fu Yan Cheng's sincerity. Accept it. Later, take some of the vegetables and fruits from home back with you."
Since Liu Chuxue had said so, Liu's mother didn't continue.
However, Liu's father still said: "In the future, for New Year and festivals, just showing meaning is enough; it can't be like today again."
Fu Yan Cheng verbally agreed, but his eyes were looking at Liu Chuxue: If he really listened to her, his daughter-in-law would have objections. Besides, having obtained such a satisfactory wife, he naturally had to repay his father-in-law and mother-in-law; in the future, he would only pay more attention.
Liu's mother looked at Liu Chuxue: "You organize the things; I'll go cook."
Liu's father took his Daqian Sect cigarettes and Moutai and left.
With Fu Yan Cheng's help, Liu Chuxue quickly organized the things. Straightening her back, she suddenly thought of the Zhang family matter. Turning to look at Fu Yan Cheng, she told him about it: "No need to deliberately help with anything; just ask what the situation actually is."
Fu Yan Cheng thought of his sister-in-law: "Then let's go to the village committee now to make a call."
"That works too. I originally thought of calling Brother Kong, but I forgot in the busyness."
"It's fine; I'll ask."
The two came out of the room. Liu Chuxue shouted toward the kitchen: "Mom, we're going out for a bit."
Liu's mother stuck her head out from the kitchen: "Come back early."
Liu Chuxue answered: "Okay."
Just as they lifted their feet to walk out, Zhui Feng ran in from outside like the wind. It didn't show the intimacy of seeing her in the past; instead, it barked "Woof woof" twice at Liu Chuxue and them, then turned and walked out. After walking a few steps, it barked "Woof woof" at them a few more times.
Urgency could be seen on the dog's face.
Liu Chuxue turned to look at Fu Yan Cheng: "What does this mean?"
Fu Yan Cheng immediately became serious: "Something might have happened. I'll go take a look."
Hearing this, how could Liu Chuxue let him go alone? "I'll go with you."
Fu Yan Cheng still wanted to refuse, but Zhui Feng had already barked and run out.
The two couldn't bother to say anything else and hurriedly chased after.
Chasing Zhui Feng's figure, they ran toward the back mountain. Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw three children in an extremely wretched state.
Liu Chuxue looked at the second son of the Party Secretary's family: "Zhilì, what happened to you?"
Seeing Liu Chuxue, Xiao Er Dan burst into tears with a "Waaah!": "Sister Liu Chuxue, wolves have come down the mountain. Go quickly and call for people."
Liu Chuxue quickly scanned the children up and down, finding that although they were wretched, there were no signs of injury. Only then did she relax: "Where did you see the wolf?"
Xiao Er Dan cried with a runny nose and tears: "Sister Liu Chuxue, don't worry about us. Go quickly and call for people. Ge Xiaosong was dragged away by a wolf."
Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng quickly spoke out: "Where was he dragged away from? Which direction did they go?"
Xiao Er Dan, with tear-filled eyes, looked at Fu Yan Cheng. His voice still carried a tremor from fear. He raised his hand and pointed to an old locust tree not far away: "Right under the locust tree over there. The wolf dragged Ge Xiaosong into the mountains."
