"Separate yourselves and search. I will lead my men to search to the west, and you will go to the east." Mao Dahai said, and then led everyone in the direction where the tiger left during the day.
Xu Dashan said, "Dazhu, you lead the team. We'll go to the east and search carefully. If they're alive, we'll find them. If they're dead, we'll find their bodies..."
Everyone replied weakly.
Zhao Zheng was still at the end of the crowd, dawdling. After all, it was impressive that he was a "cripple" and could come.
They searched for more than an hour, and they were cold and hungry as they traveled through the mountains and forests.
There are also some dangerous places in Jinji Mountain.
Zhao Zheng was speechless when he saw them avoiding these places.
The tiger's hunting habits are very simple. If it cannot eat the prey in one go, it will drag the prey into the bushes or deep grass to cover it up to prevent vultures and other beasts from eating it.
Then wait until evening to continue eating.
If it is a mother tiger with cubs, they mostly live in caves.
If it is a solitary tiger, it has no fixed residence and usually rests in bushes and grass.
Zhao Zheng had no intention of reminding him. How much money would it take for him to work so hard?
After getting tired from walking, Zhao Zheng leaned against a tree to rest.
At this moment, Zhao Yi came over panting, "Third brother, can you still walk?"
"We have to go even if we can't." Zhao Zheng held the axe handle. The brothers had fallen out with each other before, so why did he come here specially at this time? Could he have good intentions?
"This Jinji Mountain is too dark and too dangerous. The three of us should go together." Zhao Yi wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Let's go. Big Brother is waiting for us up ahead."
"No thanks, I'll just follow everyone." Zhao Zheng refused without thinking.
A trace of anger flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes. "Third brother, we are brothers. Even if we had a quarrel during the day, we shouldn't have no contact with each other forever, right?"
"No thanks, I can't afford it."
Zhao Yi laughed in anger, "Third brother, you have to think it over carefully. If you really don't keep in touch with me, no one will help you if you are bullied in the village again!"
"I'm a bachelor with no children. If anyone bullies me, I'll fight him." Zhao Zheng said with a sneer.
"You, okay, then remember what you said." Zhao Yi returned to Zhao Wei with a stern face, "Brother, he won't come over."
Zhao Wei snorted coldly. It would be difficult for him to deal with Zhao Zheng during the day, but it was a dark and windy night, and they were in the mountains. It was normal for Zhao Zheng to slip and fall into the ravine, right?
Even if I don't die from the fall, at least I'll be crippled, that's okay, right?
By then, will Zhao Laosan still be able to jump around?
Isn't it his decision what to do?
"We must give him a good beating tonight." Zhao Wei said in a low voice.
"Brother, isn't this too much? The third brother is our brother after all, not an outsider..." Zhao Yi couldn't bring himself to do it, not because he had a conscience, but because he was afraid of being discovered.
"Your third son is old enough to get married. Can you afford the money or the food?"
"this..."
"Get rid of him, and my Dabao will marry Zhaodi, and your Sanbao will marry Xiaoe. They don't have to spend a penny or a grain of rice." Zhao Wei sneered.
"That's good, but..."
"He came here to make trouble for the division of the family property. He didn't treat us as brothers, nor did he intend to be filial to his mother. This unfaithful and unfilial son, I only regret not beating him to death a few days ago." Zhao Wei gritted his teeth: "Okay, stop talking, you keep an eye on him, he will definitely go this way when the time comes, then..."
"I understand, big brother." Zhao Yi nodded, and decided to teach Zhao Zheng a painful lesson.
But what the two of them didn't know was that Zhao Zheng had already secretly followed Zhao Yi and overheard their entire conversation.
"Okay, okay, that's how you play it, right? Then don't blame me."
Zhao Zheng never hesitates to use the worst-case scenario to guess people's minds.
Especially Zhao Wei, if he hadn't traveled through time, his previous life would have been buried long ago.
How can a person who kills his own brother be a good person?
He calmly ran ahead of the two men, bought a roll of carbon line from the mall, tied it to the path they must pass, and hid in the bushes with the other end in his hand.
On the right side of the road is a steep slope with protruding rocks below.
Get out of here, you'll be crippled if not dead.
Seeing the fire getting closer, Zhao Zheng straightened the fishing line in his hand.
Just then, a pulling force was felt.
"Ouch..."
Zhao Wei staggered and fell forward.
In a panic, he grabbed Zhao Yi.
The next second, the torch in Zhao Yi's hand flew out, and the two of them rolled down the mountain.
"ah..."
The screams of the two brothers echoed through the mountains.
This sound also attracted the attention of the people in front.
Xu Dashan exclaimed, "Something happened over there, go check it out!"
Everyone looked towards where the two brothers fell.
"Slow down, it's too steep here, watch your step."
Before they arrived, Zhao Zheng had already reeled in his fishing line and ran back.
"Dashan, save me, I'm Zhao Yi... Hurry up!" In the darkness, Zhao Yi was blocked by a tree. He was very scared and panicked.
"You are not with Zhao Wei, where is he?" Xu Dashan shone the torch downwards and could vaguely see Zhao Yi's shadow and a burning torch not far away.
"I don't know, he seemed to have rolled down." Zhao Yi said: "I was blocked by the tree, but my hand hurts, it seems to be broken..."
Xu Dashan was also very tired. He didn't find the person, but something happened to the villagers instead.
"Quick, get the rope, go down and rescue the two brothers."
At this time, Zhao Zhengcai came up from behind, panting, and said in a panic: "Dashan, how are my eldest brother and fourth brother?"
"They rolled down." Xu Dashan said.
"Let me go down, I want to save my brother." Zhao Zheng said as he was about to climb down.
"Wait, your foot is still injured. Can you pull them up after you go down?" Xu Dashan held Zhao Zheng. "Rest aside, I'll take the others down."
Soon, Xu Dashan took people down to meet Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi's right hand was broken and his head was bleeding.
As for Zhao Wei, he was unconscious fifty meters away from Zhao Yi and could not be woken up no matter what.
Xu Dashan's heart sank. It was over. Something had happened.
"Quick, bring more people and pull Zhao Wei up."
After a lot of effort, the group finally rescued Zhao Wei.
Zhao Zheng rushed over, his eyes red. He first pinched Zhao Wei's Ren Zhong point, but when he saw that Zhao Wei was not awake, he insisted on carrying him back.
Everyone sighed when they saw this.
"I didn't expect Zhao Laosan to be so loyal. He was harmed by Zhao Wei, whose two adopted sons died in battle, and who also cheated them out of their pension. He was beaten, but he still held a grudge."
"They are brothers. Even if their bones are broken, they are still connected. Who doesn't have some quarrels in their family?"
Everyone praised him, but some also murmured, "Zhao Laosan is just stupid."
"Zhao Wei has done too many dirty things, and now he's getting his comeuppance."
Seeing Zhao Zheng limping and struggling to carry Zhao Wei on his back, Xu Dashan said helplessly, "You won't be able to carry him out tomorrow if you carry him like this. Cut some wood, make a frame, and carry him out."
