Some villagers left, but a few families familiar with the Qi Family stayed.
"Why don't we go in and look as well? A few more people won't hurt."
Someone suggested.
Immediately, there were people who agreed.
Seeing that a few young men were about to head into the forest, Qi Zheng finally spoke up: "You all stay put, guard the village. They're all young and strong, they'll be fine."
If he said he wasn't worried, that would definitely be a lie.
But Qi Zheng couldn't possibly ask others to risk danger for his own kids at a time like this.
Moreover, the sky was about to turn dark; if some wild beast rushed out of the forest, there were so many elderly and children in the village, and they really couldn't be unprotected.
A few men, after hearing Qi Zheng's words, were momentarily unsure whether to go or stay.
Mrs. Qi, standing by, had already shed tears, wiped them, and then said, "You all go back first! If they're not back soon, I'll send Ercai to ask for your help."
