Chapter 621 The Light of Hope
"Village chief, what's going on?" An anxious voice came from the crowd.
"What happened to Grandpa Sun?" another person asked impatiently.
"How is he now? Is he injured?" someone asked worriedly.
"..."
For a moment, various questions came one after another and surged to the village chief like a tide. Everyone looked worried, whispering and talking.
At this time, a loud shout was heard: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment! Listen to me!"
Sun Sheng stepped forward and tried to calm everyone down.
After the situation calmed down a bit, he continued, "This is the situation! Grandpa Sun went up the mountain to pick herbs early this morning, but it's been dark for a long time and he still hasn't returned!"
"So we are worried. Maybe he met with something bad in the mountains. I think we should quickly organize some people and divide them into several groups to go into the mountains to look for him!"
Sun Sheng's words were like a bombshell, instantly causing uproar among the crowd.
The villagers below were immediately in an uproar!
"Ah? He hasn't come back yet at this time? What's going on?" someone shouted in astonishment.
"This shouldn't be the case. When Grandpa Sun goes out to collect herbs, he usually returns to the village very early. This time he was so abnormal. Could it be that he really encountered some unexpected situation..."
The other person frowned, his tone full of worry and uneasiness.
"Then what should we do? Let's go and look for it!" another person suggested impatiently.
"That's right. The sky has become so dark. If something goes wrong, it will be too dangerous for him at his age of over 70!"
The others echoed the voice, their faces full of anxiety.
The villagers were talking and discussing, and the noise was endless: "What should we do? Where did Grandpa Sun go?"
"That's right. At his age, we should not let him go up the mountain to collect herbs. It's really worrying!"
"Everyone stop arguing and think of a solution!
"..."
For a moment, everyone started talking at once, and their words revealed deep concern and worry.
At this time, Sun Sheng stepped forward and said with a worried look on his face: "That's why I gathered everyone together, hoping to organize a few small teams to go into the mountains to search!"
"Village chief, please stop talking so much and just give the orders and arrange the tasks!" An impatient villager immediately responded.
"That's right, please tell us quickly and tell us what you want us to do specifically!" Other villagers also echoed and expressed their willingness to follow instructions.
"..."
For a moment, all kinds of sounds intertwined together, as if to overturn the entire village.
At this time, Sun Sheng shouted: "Well, men from Sunjia Village, those who are familiar with the mountain roads, step out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in the next second, more than thirty strong villagers took a big step forward without hesitation!
They all had determined expressions and bright eyes, and seemed to be ready to set off at any time.
Then, Sun Sheng shouted again: "If anyone knows where Grandpa Sun goes to collect herbs, step out!"
Hearing this, more than a dozen of the thirty or so villagers who had just stood up quickly took a step forward!
These people obviously know a lot about Grandpa Sun's daily whereabouts, and they will surely be able to provide important clues for finding a job.
Sun Sheng carefully counted the number of people, no more, no less, exactly fifteen!
He thought for a moment, then said loudly: "In that case, let's divide into fifteen groups, and each group will find three more agile people to join us. This will improve the efficiency of the search."
"Everyone must work together to find Grandpa Sun as soon as possible! However, don't forget your own safety during this process. If you encounter any danger, ask other teams for help in time!"
After saying this, Sun Sheng looked at everyone with an earnest and serious look, indicating that everyone must remember his instructions.
"Don't worry, village chief. We have all been working in these mountains for many years. We know what we are doing!" a villager assured, patting his chest.
"Don't be careless! Bring all the tools you need with you and be on guard against sudden attacks from ferocious beasts!" Sun Sheng was still a little worried and reminded them again and again.
Before long, the villagers below consciously divided into fifteen teams. Some women, children and elderly people took the initiative to hand over the flashlights in their hands to the team members!
Gu Chang, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, couldn't help but feel extremely surprised at the strong execution ability shown by the people in this village!
In such a short period of time, the villagers who originally seemed like loose sand with no organization or discipline were instantly transformed into a well-trained and disciplined elite force under Sun Sheng's orderly command!
Whether it is the weak women, children, the elderly or the strong adult men, everyone has a clear understanding of their position!
"Boss Gu, Boss Wang, do you have anything else to tell me?"
At this time, Sun Sheng turned his head, looked at Gu Chang and Wang Xianye, and asked.
Hearing this, Gu Chang shook his head and said, "I'll go with you!"
"That's right, let's go together and help look for it!" Wang Xianye responded quickly.
"Ah? This mountain road is not easy to walk on. It's winding and bumpy. It's too unsafe at night. You two should stay in the village and wait for news!"
Sun Sheng frowned, looking embarrassed, and tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Village Chief Sun, have you forgotten? I was born and raised in the Qinling Mountains! Since I was a child, I grew up walking on the rugged paths in these vast mountains!"
Gu Chang responded slowly with a faint smile on his face.
After listening to Gu Chang's words, Sun Sheng looked at him deeply, and after a long while he said firmly: "Okay, in that case, then you can follow my group!"
"Dear fellow villagers, please keep this in mind. No matter what situation you encounter, you must be extra cautious and ensure your own safety!" Sun Sheng shouted at the top of his voice.
With his order, the fifteen teams composed of villagers rushed off in different directions like arrows!
In an instant, the originally quiet and peaceful village became extremely lively.
From afar, those bright and dazzling lights look like gorgeous fireworks exploding, emitting charming light, making the entire earth exceptionally dazzling!
Seeing this, Gu Chang and Wang Xianye immediately followed Sun Sheng and set out on the journey to find Grandpa Sun!
Among this group of people, in addition to Sun Sheng, Gu Chang and Wang Xianye, there are also two villagers from Sunjia Village!
Gu Chang and Wang Xianye took the flashlights handed over by the villagers, and the five figures instantly turned into a closely connected black line, rushing rapidly towards the mysterious and majestic mountain in the northwest direction!
If at this moment there was a person with great powers who could stand in the sky and look down at the earth, he would certainly be surprised to see countless bright lights, like the bright stars in the night sky, spreading out in all directions like ripples with the quiet little village of Sunjia Village as the core...
These lights seem to possess endless vitality. They penetrate the darkness, pierce the night sky, and illuminate the originally silent wilderness as if it were daytime.
Every ray of light carries the most sincere expectations and desires from the bottom of people’s hearts. It is the shining light of hope!
