She went next door to find Jianguo, “Brother, did you see Jiandang in the fields when you came back?”
The first batch of rice would need to be planted in a few days, so these past days, the four brothers had all been busy in the fields.
Jianguo was washing his feet with a basin when he heard this. He turned his head to look and replied, “No, I haven’t seen our second brother in the fields at all today. What’s happened?”
“How is that possible? He left at noon! He said he was going to the fields! How could he not be there all day! He still hasn’t come back!” Upon hearing this, Liao Zhaoji became anxious.
Frowning, Jianguo saw the Ruanlin Family holding up a kerosene lamp and coming out. He stopped washing his feet, put on his shoes, and headed outside, “I’ll go look in the fields; you all don’t panic just yet.”
“Be careful on the road,” the Ruanlin Family advised.
Jianguo acknowledged and was already walking into the distance.
Jiaojiao hadn’t gone to bed at this hour either. Hearing noises, she sat up from bed. The Ruanlin Family came in holding a kerosene lamp and told her to lie down and go to sleep first.
Jiaojiao shook her head, “Grandma, I’m not sleepy. I’ll wait too.”
The Ruanlin Family patted her little head and said nothing more. The two of them waited inside the house, while Liao Zhaoji waited outside, pacing back and forth restlessly.
When Jianguo hurried back, Jie and Chi had also gotten up, and they all gathered in the courtyard.
Jianguo looked at Liao Zhaoji with a grave expression, “Jiandang isn’t in the fields, nor is he on the land. Think carefully, did he say he was going somewhere else today?”
Liao Zhaoji stared blankly at him, “I… He didn’t say anything! He just said he was going to the fields!”
Jianguo pondered for a few seconds before turning and walking out again. Liao Zhaoji followed him, and the younger boys exchanged glances and followed suit. Jiaojiao wanted to join, but the Ruanlin Family stopped her, and they stayed home and waited.
Jianguo went around the team’s houses, asking several families, and finally, one family had seen Jiandang.
“You’re talking about Jiandang? I saw him near the front mountain this afternoon. I even warned him not to go in there. He said he was just wandering around and wouldn’t go in. What happened?” The person looked confused and, seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the Ruan Family after he answered, he began to feel uneasy, “Hasn’t he come back yet? Did he go into the front mountain?”
“He just hasn’t!” Liao Zhaoji was on the verge of tears.

“Well… Don’t panic. Let me put on a coat, and we’ll find a few more people to search the mountains. Don’t worry,” the person said, being kind-hearted and from the same team, having a good relationship with the Ruan Family. He had even eaten wild boar at the Ruan home not long ago, and he promptly offered his help.
In the end, five or six men from the team, including Jianguo, set out to search for Jiandang around the back and front mountains.
The younger boys wanted to go too, but being too small, and with the added uncertainty of the night, Jianguo decided not to let them follow into the mountains.
The search went on for most of the night, but they found no trace of him.
Liao Zhaoji was crying desperately at home, the Ruanlin Family kept a stern face without speaking, and Jiaojiao hadn’t slept, curled up in the Ruanlin Family’s arms, her face full of worry. She was genuinely concerned.
Ever since a wild boar had come out of the back mountain last time, the Ruanlin Family had forbidden Chi and the others from entering the back mountain; they were uncertain if there were any more wild animals.
Now that Jiandang had disappeared, unclear whether he had gone into the front or back mountain, and had not come out after so long, the situation seemed quite dire.
What she could think of, others could naturally imagine as well.
Especially the Ruanlin Family, who’s complexion had already turned somewhat pale.
