Wang Baoxing ran out shouting, "Gangzi, Gangzi, something's wrong, Jia Bao went to the back mountain and hasn't returned yet."
Yang Zhigang and Wang Pandi were in the kitchen being affectionate, with the man hugging the woman's waist from behind, his head buried in her neck, inhaling her fragrance.
Hearing the father-in-law's shout, both were startled.
Yang Zhigang kissed her cheek to soothe Wang Pandi, "Don't worry, you stay home and wait for news, I'll be back soon."
Yang Zhigang grabbed his shotgun and quickly left, with Wang Baoxing following behind.
Liu Yulan stumbled as she tried to follow, but Yang Zhigang and Wang Baoxing stopped her, saying they were going in to find someone, and her joining would only be a burden, hindering rather than helping.
Liu Yulan sat down on the ground watching the two fade into the distance, tears welling in her eyes from both anxiety and fear.
