Chapter 288 - [Bonus ] Bring Her Back

"Help! Help! Help me!" Uncle Du who have already run away after pushing Lin Jing in the mouth of the Alpha wolf had no idea that Lu Lin and the others were planning to avenge Lin Jing by creating trouble for him and his family, even if he did know about it Uncle Du wouldn't have cared about it at all. His elder brother was one of the Elders of Dong Tong village, with his brother around no one would dare to mess with him unless they wanted to be kicked out of the village.

As for pushing Lin Jing, that was his survival instinct, even if Lu Lin and the other members of the team ratted him out, he didn't murder Lin Jing with his own hands, did he? They were attacked by the wolf and he was scared after seeing such a big wolf lunging at him. He didn't want to push Lin Jing in the mouth of the wolf, but he was too terrified and pushed Lin Jing at instinct not because he wanted to push him - that's right? Isn't it? That's logical, after all, he was human and as a living breathing human who finally got a taste of enjoying his life, how could he be willing to die? No one wanted to be killed by a ferocious wolf, if Lin Jing was in his place he would have done the same.

Uncle Du this promiscuous and selfish old man has completely forgotten that Lin Jing could have climbed up a tree and could have left him alone to fend for himself but he didn't, instead, he stood by his side and protected him until he was betrayed by him.

Such was a human mind as long as they wanted to wash off their guilt, they would create scenarios that never existed to make themselves more pitiful and worthy of being sympathised with.

Su Wan was waiting with bated breath for Lin Jing's team to return, earlier Lin Rui sent word for Lin Chen to come to town because they got stuck because of the heavy snow, they needed someone to drive the ox cart to the town to get them out of there, so Lin Chen have to rush to Brother Sheng house to borrow their ox cart.

Lin Chen left Lin Yu behind for taking care of her and mother Lin along with the three little Qi siblings. But then after half an hour later, Qi Zhi started vomiting, no matter how much Su Wan and Lin Yu took care of Little Zhi, the latter kept hurling whatever they fed him. Neither lemon water nor the dried herbs worked, in the end, Lin Yu had to bring Qi Zhi to Doctor Gu.

Because Qi Zhi was just five years old neither of them was willing to take a risk, what if the little kid caught a chill, and they mistook it for an unsettled stomach? In this era with no medical treatment and proper medicines, Su Wan was worried that Little Qi Zhi might end up getting really sick if not treated properly. What if the little boy got a fever? In this cold weather with no proper medicines, even an adult would end up burning in fever, much less a child.

So, despite Lin Yu constant placating, she still sent the latter to Doctor Gu's house with Little Qi Zh.

Though Su Wan thought that all of this was mere coincidences, she couldn't help but brush off the feeling that something was off, like why would Lin Rui send word for Lin Chen if they got trapped in the town? Wouldn't it make sense to call for Lu Sheng? Instead of Lin Chen?

And Qi Zhi, how come he got sick only today? Why not before, why not after?

Though Su Wan had a lot of questions, she didn't pay attention to them. She was far too worried about Lin Jing to care about these questions, she might as well worry more about Lin Jing than think about such baseless questions that did nothing to help her and instead only increased her anxiety even more.

She was pacing in the back ball, from time to time gazing at the front door when she heard Uncle Du's cry of help, all of a sudden her gut twisted in pain and an unknown chill spread all over her body to the tip of her extremities. Ignoring mother Lin's call, she rushed out of the house, where a crowd of people were already circling Uncle Du and helping the latter to sit up.

Su Wan looked at the panic-stricken Uncle Du then looked around the crowd searching for Lin Jing, however even after looking around the crowd for a total of five times she couldn't see Lin Jing. Her hanging heart fell down all the way to the pits of her stomach with a loud ' Dong' as she turned to look at Uncle Du " where is Ah Jing? Where is my husband? Where did you leave him! Why isn't he here? Didn't you go with him?"

Uncle Du who was enjoying the care and affectionate gestures of the villagers was annoyed by Su Wan's constant questioning, he angrily harumphed and but still looked? at Su Wan with a somewhat reluctant manner as if he was afraid to agitate her even further " that.. That.."

"What? What ' that' speak properly!" Su Wan who was already on her toes felt as Uncle Du was teasing her. What did he mean by ' that', 'that '? Can't he see she was already hopping with anxiety? Did he want to kill her? If continued with his nonsense she might really die of a heart attack!

" that..we were attacked by the wolves and Lin Jing - Lin Jing, he was taken away by the leader of the wolf pack!" Uncle Du wanted to have a little more fun with Su Wan after all this lady has always looked down on him ( she hasn't ), who asked her to look away in an arrogant fashion whenever he crossed her path ( she didn't ).

As soon as Uncle Du finished speaking the entire crowd of people gasped while Mother Lin dropped to her knees, she didn't shout or scream instead she started crying, she always knew that her eldest son's job as a hunter was like dancing with death, but she never thought that her son who was so strong and sturdy would one day - Mother Lin cried so bitterly that everyone in the crowd felt sorry for her.

But Su Wan didn't, she didn't cry not did she throw a tantrum instead she rushed inside the house and brought out a bone chopping cleaver. Seeing her rushing out with a cleaver raised in her hand, many people screamed and jumped out even Uncle Du instantly got to his feet and jumped out of her way.

Everyone all thought that Su Wan has gone mad because of grief but to their utter surprise, Su Wan didn't charge at them like a warrior instead she ran in the direction of the mountains without even looking back once.

Only then did Mother Lin snap out of her crying daze and shout "stop her! Stop her! I have already lost a son, I can't lose a daughter too! Bring her back, bring her back! Bring my Wan Wan back-"? Mother Lin was already agitated, she was old and the news of her son dying was enough to make her despair but when she saw her daughter in law rushing to the mountains where wolves and whatnot were roaming, all her blood rushed in her head at once, thus, she fainted just after taking two steps right in front of the Village head who hurriedly asked a woman from the village to help Mother Lin up.

"Go and bring her back !" Shouted Village head Luo, but even if the villagers rushed after Su Wan after listening to village head Luo's order, they were two beats too late. Su Wan was faster than them and already entered the mountains by the time they finished covering the path to the mountains halfway.

The villagers met with the hunting team after a short while but the hunting team couldn't catch or trace Su Wan who was like a loose cannon.

Su Wan who rushed inside the forest didn't look or hear a thing that the villagers were shouting behind her, she hurriedly climbed up the mountain and followed the trail of blood left by Lin Jing.

It wasn't difficult to find the trail as she only needed to follow the pit traps dug in the forest.

She followed the trail and reached the cliff from where she couldn't even see the end of the valley, her heart was beating wildly as she looked around, she was sure that she will find a proper path to climb down the cliff. She wasn't willing to believe that Lin Jing died or something happened to him, they haven't made up yet - and he even promised to safely return? back to her. She would never believe that he wouldn't return unless she sees for herself!

Who knows maybe Uncle Du was lying or maybe he saw it wrong because her Ah Jing can't die! He was someone who fulfilled his promises and he promised that he will be back. She was still looking around for a steep slope or some narrow path to climb down the cliff when - she realised that she didn't need to look for a path, because someone has already pushed her down!

Losing the ground under her feet, Su Wan shouted her scream resonating in the snow-covered valley startling the hunting team that rushed back into the forest.
