Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

"Damn, you dare to bump into me? Watch how I torture you to death today!" Yang Laosan got up and chased after Gu Yumei. He hadn't chased for a few steps when he heard a loud bang!

Gu Yumei fell in response, her forehead dented inwards, blood gushing out. Her eyes wide open, staring at Yang Laosan, scaring him into hastily retreating several steps.

After a short while, once sure that Gu Yumei was dead, Yang Laosan, furious, kicked her and cursed, "Damn it, such bad luck!"

Was it just about wanting to sleep with her once? And she ended up dead? What's the big deal? Aren't there many women in the brothel who entertain guests daily and live like this?

Yang Laosan didn't get this "dish" and could only curse a few times before resigning to drag Gu Yumei's body out of the cave.

Just as he dragged the body to the entrance of the cave, a strong gust came from behind him. Yang Laosan knew it was bad but it was too late.

With a snap, Yang Laoer ended Yang Laosan with one slice.

Watching Yang Laosan fall with eyes wide open in death, Yang Laoer said with a laugh, "Old third, don't blame brother for being ruthless, you started it by attacking the boss. You dared to kill him, let alone me."

To prevent himself from being attacked, he had to strike first.

In fact, Yang Laoer had intentionally gone out hunting, knowing that Yang Laosan had a penchant for pleasures and would inevitably make a move on Gu Yumei. His plan was to ambush Yang Laosan while he was in action.

His plan succeeded, yet he didn't expect Gu Yumei to be so fierce, willing to smash her head to preserve her purity.

"What a pity." Yang Laoer wanted to keep Gu Yumei alive; after all, as a Gu, she could bring in the last two hundred taels of silver. Now, he could only give up.

Fearful of staying longer in the mountains, Yang Laoer, having plundered the silver notes from Yang Laosan's body, hurriedly left.

…

Da Feng Village was in utter chaos since Luo Huiniang and Gu Yumei were taken.

Han Liu, Mu Tong, Wang Yongfu, and Old Zhu and his sons were the first ones to search the mountains. Once the families received the news, they immediately sought Village Chief He, asking him to ring the gong to alert the villagers to join the search.

Upon learning that bandits had entered the village and taken Gu Yumei and Luo Huiniang, Village Chief He was furious as thunder, "Didn't I assign people to guard the village entrance? How well did they guard it? Letting bandits enter and kidnap people!"

"Village chief, this is not the time to talk about this. Hurry and summon the villagers to help find them. If we are too late, things could get worse," Third Grandpa was extremely anxious, urging Village Chief He.

"Right, right, right, we need to quickly gather people to search. Dacang, Dacang!" Village Chief He quickly called to He Dacang, asking him to ring the gong to assemble the villagers.

Village Chief He divided the people into three groups. One group stayed in the village to watch in case the bandits were still hiding there; one group went to the county government to seek Luo Wu's help; the third group followed several men into the mountains to search for them.

Gu Jinli was worried about Luo Huiniang and also followed into the mountains.

Mrs. Chen and Ms. Chu also followed, both shedding tears along the way, fearing the worst for Gu Yumei and Luo Huiniang.

"Sister Mei, this foolish girl, why is her fate so cruel? Just after breaking off an engagement and now this happens, wuu wuu wuu, if something happens to her, what will we do?" Although Mrs. Chen scolded Gu Yumei, it was all for her own good; she actually cared deeply for Gu Yumei.

Although Ms. Chu tried hard not to think about the worst, tears still kept falling. If Hui Niang faced the same fate as her, what would they do?

Dafeng Mountain is huge, and parts of its deep mountains are almost like a primeval forest. The two groups had been searching throughout the forest all night and even as the day broke, they had yet to find Gu Yumei and Luo Huiniang.

Mrs. Chen cried even harder, extremely restless: "What do we do? What can we do? A whole night has passed, what if…"

"Stop crying, what are you crying for? Bringing bad luck!" Gu Dafu held a machete, chopping down the thorns to clear a path through the forest while scolding Mrs. Chen.

As he was talking, Gu Jinli's nostrils twitched, sniffing the air around him.

Qin San Lang was beside her, and hastily asked, "Did you find something?"

Xiao Yu's nose was very sensitive. Initially, when Sister Liu and her group used drugs to knock out Jinxiu and abduct her, she woke up from the scent of the medicine.

Jinli said, "I smell the poison I prepared, the one you took to fight the river bandits."

The scent was very faint, but she still caught it.

She immediately crouched down and followed the scent of the poison, and after 15 minutes, finally found a cloth bag under a pile of rotten leaves: "It's Hui Niang's bag!"

Everyone was searching nearby, and hearing her voice, they quickly gathered around.

Ms. Chu and Father Luo saw Luo Huiniang's green cloth bag and joyfully said, "It's Hui Niang's; she was here."

"Over here, the wild grass here has been trampled, and there are marks of a knife on the nearby tree trunks," Qin San Lang followed the trampled grass.

Jinli quickly picked up the cloth bag dropped by Luo Huiniang and said, "Let's hurry and follow them."

The bag contained poison, and there were other villagers around; she was afraid that someone might accidentally get poisoned.

"Quick, follow San Lang," Father Luo hurriedly called everyone to chase after Qin San Lang.

After a tea-time, Qin San Lang arrived at the place where Yang Laosan and Qin Er Lang had fought the previous night and found a slide mark leading down the slope.

Qin San Lang immediately ran towards the slope.

He was cautious and familiar with the mountains, knowing there were natural deep pits, so when he got to the edge of the slope, he slowed down and did not fall.

Jinli had caught up and stood at the edge of the pit, pointing at the flattened wild grass by the edge, saying, "Someone has fallen down."

Qin San Lang nodded, "Hmm, just don't know who fell down."

Was it Luo Huiniang and Gu Yumei, or the villain who captured them?

"San Lang, Xiao Yu, how is it? Found anything?" Father Luo and the others caught up, standing behind Qin San Lang and asking.

Qin San Lang shared the news of someone falling.

Mrs. Chen, upon hearing this, immediately cried out, "Sister Mei! Is that you who fell down? Please respond quickly!"

Gu Dafu and Gu Dexing, who had looked for people all night, were now tired and hungry. Hearing Mrs. Chen shouting, they immediately ran over and yelled down.

However, with no response, just as they were about to give up hope and leave, Jinli suddenly saw smoke rising from the pit.

"There's someone down there!" She exclaimed with joy, "I guess the pit is too deep, the people at the bottom couldn't be heard, so they could only light a fire to attract us with the smoke."

Qin San Lang immediately untied the rope from his waist, tied one end to a nearby old tree trunk, and prepared to go down for the rescue.

Jinli quickly untied her rope and handed it to him, "Attach this. The pit seems very deep; your rope might not be long enough."

Taking it, Qin San Lang tied both ropes together, and while lowering the rope, went down the pit to rescue.

Jinli still worried that it might be villains below, but after 30 minutes, it was Luo Huiniang who climbed up the rope. She was overjoyed and quickly reached out to pull Luo Huiniang.

As soon as Luo Huiniang climbed up, she hugged Jinli: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, I'm alive and seeing you again. I thought I and Brother Qin Er would starve down there."
