Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 395: Zhang Tiezhu Goes Missing

Song Yi and his group walked quickly and didn’t even look back at her.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t run because she feared not seeing the two children, which could arouse suspicion from Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing.

Lately, she planned to find a secluded corner and say that was where they were waiting.

Soon, they began to ascend a slope.

This side was directly beneath Half Moon Lake; the slope was exceedingly steep.

Jhiang Yuan looked to the side and faintly discerned there was still a path.

This flat stretch above must have been cleared by the villagers.

This path must also have been worn down by use.

She took out a hiking stick and began to climb upwards.

Over there, people had already reached the deep ditch.

Don’t ask how she knew; it was because those on the other side had stopped moving and just stood there watching.

They must have reached the place, and she also had to pick up her pace.

Soon, she caught up with them.

"Sister Yuan, you came too?"

"Hmm, how is it, did you find them?"

"Didn’t see anyone, don’t know where they ran off to."

As she spoke, Ye Mianmian surveyed the area in front.

Jhiang Yuan also looked over, seeing the deep ditch mentioned earlier by Second Master Teng.

However, this ditch wasn’t very deep.

Moreover, it wasn’t the kind that was impossible to cross.

In fact, one could even say, cut down a tree, lay it across, and you could walk over.

"Is this the so-called deep ditch?"

When Song Yi saw her, he hurried over.

"It should be, it’s different from what we imagined, isn’t it?"

"Hmm, indeed quite surprising.

If it’s just like this, Second Master Teng totally didn’t need to describe it that way.

Furthermore, if they wanted to go to the other side, they could simply build a bridge, there’s no need to make a detour."

Jhiang Yuan voiced all her doubts.

"Indeed..."

Song Yi agreed and then looked downwards.

The bottom was covered with broken branches, thickly layered, almost filling it up.

"There are a bit too many tree branches here."

"What’s the big deal, Brother Song, maybe they were blown down by strong winds.

You all saw that storm; it could uproot trees, so this is nothing."

"That may be true, but it can’t all be here."

Song Yi felt that such a wide ditch filled with trees seemed particularly like human interference.

But the villagers were gone, so this theory didn’t hold up.

The others also considered this point and began pondering.

"Could it be that when the branches fell, the villagers wanted to fill this place up, so they moved all those things over?"

Zhang Kaiyang theorized, but the others didn’t respond, because no one really knew the truth.

"Alright, stop fussing over this and focus on finding the people."

"Right, let’s hurry; it will be dark soon."

Jhiang Yuan also echoed this and then started bustling around.

"Zhang Tiezhu, Tiezhu～"

The echo reverberated between the mountains, but there was no response.

"Wow, look at these trees, they are quite oddly shaped."

Over there, Zhang Kaiyang saw a clump of trees.

Why say a clump? Because there were six, growing close together.

Crowded together, they looked quite old.

These trees weren’t like the others, tall and straight.

Instead, they were twisted and packed closely, especially the three in the middle.

The branches in the middle were all twisted around the tree opposite them, densely tangled, and the specifics were no longer clear.

"This tree looks like it hasn’t been tended to, and it’s too dense, that’s why it has become like this."

"It’s precisely because of this that it wasn’t blown away by the wind."

Fan Qing gave a professional explanation, and everyone agreed with it.

Now, they just needed to find Zhang Tiezhu, but he was nowhere to be seen.

’Could it be that he never came over, and Jingjing was mistaken?’"

At this moment, Ye Mianmian also became a bit anxious.

’That shouldn’t be the case, Jingjing is already six years old, she has her own judgment.

Moreover, she isn’t a child who speaks without thinking."

On this matter, Jhiang Yuan still trusted her a lot.

’Could it be that Zhang Tiezhu did come up, and then went down again?

We’ve been up here for a while, enough time for him to have gone there and back.’

Currently, this explanation was the most plausible.

"But where could they have gone? There’s nothing nearby.

Could they have encountered danger?"

Although she hated to say it, Jhiang Yuan had to face reality.

Ye Mianmian felt a thump in her heart and hurriedly explained, "How could that be possible, it’s deadly quiet around here, there’s nothing.

Apart from us, there’s no one else, he probably just ran off to play somewhere, let’s keep looking."

"But we’ve already looked everywhere, there truly is no sign of him, could a person just vanish into thin air?"

Song Yi, who had been silent up to this point, now expressed his opinions.

"Zhang Tiezhu is physically fit, if he had encountered danger, he would have at least screamed a few times.

We aren’t that far away, we haven’t heard anything, he should be safe.

Let’s keep looking, see that ditch behind there, he might have slipped down."

Then, he could have knocked his head, so he didn’t make a sound.

Song Yi didn’t continue, but everyone could guess the implications.

"Let’s get moving." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Yes!"

Jhiang Yuan started to move towards that area and reached out to pull Ye Mianmian.

With a ’creak,’ she sensed something was wrong and quickly looked down.

She stepped on a small branch and as she lifted her foot, she saw something shimmering with silver light.

In the reflection of the sun, it glimmered intensely.

"What is that?"

Jhiang Yuan saw it too, and Ye Mianmian bent down to pick it up.

"It’s a Game Coin, I gave it to Zhang Tiezhu, he must have been here."

Seeing her distressed expression, Jhiang Yuan grew puzzled.

"Mianmian, what exactly is going on?"

"Sister Yuan, he had given me an egg before, and I felt embarrassed."

I just happened to have this Game Coin on me, so I gave it to him.

He joked that it was a token of love, and he would definitely carry it with him.

Now that it suddenly appears here, I’m a bit scared."

Song Yi took a look and felt a bit heavy-hearted.

"I’ve seen him holding this, cherishing it dearly.

He wouldn’t just abandon it randomly, something must have happened."

"Oh, don’t worry too much, it might be just that he couldn’t find the coin, and Zhang Tiezhu is frantically looking for it elsewhere.

Maybe he has even gone back."

This situation also seemed possible.

"No, we are still here, he wouldn’t have left without saying a word."

Primarily because, Ye Mianmian was still here.

The reason he cherished the Game Coin was that it was a gift from Ye Mianmian.

Why would he abandon his beloved over a Game Coin, that would be putting the cart before the horse!

"Hurry up and search around here as the center."

Song Yi issued the order and everyone got busy.

"Brother Song, look over here, doesn’t this feel a bit odd?"
