Chapter 429: 429 Seeking Wife 3 to Death



The freshly picked bayberries would be ruined if they become soaked. It was now too late to hurry down the mountain, and she didn��t want her efforts to be in vain.

She needed to find a place to take cover��

She noticed a recess beside a large rock ahead. Since the rain was slanting, the recess was not exposed to the rain, so she quickly moved the two full baskets over there.

Then she crouched down beside the baskets to shelter from the rain.

The rain grew heavier, and the slanted raindrops turned into large beads of water.

Soon, the rain reached her position.

Not far away was a banana tree. Risking getting soaked, she went over to pluck three large leaves.

Using two of the leaves to cover each basket, she used the remaining leaf to shield her head. Although her body was already damp from the rain, it was better than having nothing to block it.

Xiao Yuchuan stumbled and struggled up the hillside. When he finally reached the mid-hillside, it began to rain.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably rush back down the mountain.

But he gritted his teeth and stubbornly continued up the mountain, leaning on his crutch.

Ding Er from the village was hurrying down the mountain and saw him. He called out, ��Chuan, what are you doing here? The rain is getting heavier, are you going up the mountain?��

��Yes����

��Go back quickly!��

��I have to find my wife.��

Ding Er looked at his pale face and shaky steps, worriedly asking, ��Are you alright?��

��I��m fine����

��Suit yourself then.�� Fearing he might get sick from the rain, Ding Er hurried down the mountain, unable to do more for him.

Xiao Yuchuan struggled up the slippery mountain path, which was now covered in mud due to the rain. Losing his footing, he slid down the hill along with his crutch. Luckily, a tree stopped him after rolling for a few meters.

The heavy rain felt like it was stinging his face.

It hurt even more where it hit his injured face.

��Wife�� Wife!�� he cried, hoping she would hear him nearby.

But there was no echo.

His wife must be scared, all alone on Hanging Neck Mountain in the rain. He was worried and covered in mud from his tumble. Wiping his muddy hands on his face, the handsome face was smeared with mud. After several attempts to stand up, he resorted to crawling. ��Wife, don��t be afraid�� Husband is coming to find you�� ��

He muttered reassurances to himsel�

Unable to stand, he crawled step by step.

Clinging to rocks and grass on the mountain path, he struggled to move his body bit by bit��

What he didn��t know was that not far away, under a large tree, a figure in red stood watching him, motionless.

Watching his determination, and how he risked his life to continue climbing up the mountain.

After the rain stopped, Su Qingyue carried the basket of bayberries back home.

The mountain path was muddy from the heavy rain, and she nearly slipped a few times, but managed to stay stable.

As she entered the Xiao Family��s courtyard, Xiao Yishan looked behind her,

��Yue��er, you��re back. Have you seen third brother?��

She turned her head to reply to the person on the bed, ��Isn��t third brother at home?��

��As soon as you left, he followed you to Hanging Neck Mountain.�� Xiao Yishan became anxious, ��He��s not in good health, and it rained so heavily earlier�� ��

��I don��t know how third brother is doing now���� Xiao Qinghe��s eyes were also filled with worry.

Su Qingyue��s face changed and she quickly placed the bayberry pole under the eaves, ��I��m going to find third brother!��
