Zhou Xiuhua had goosebumps when she witnessed this scene. She scoffed and said, “Zhao Meier, why don’t you try acting your age. You’re already 40 years old, yet you’re still crying like a little girl. Don’t you have any shame?

Go home if you want to cry. I want to vomit just from looking. Don’t nauseate us further–you may have no shame but I still care about the image.”

“You!!” Zhao Meier had been clinging to her husband and whining in his arms. Upon hearing that, she instantly choked on her cries, not knowing whether to continue crying or not. She was so angry that her chest hurt.

Yan Zhongqing was getting impatient with the bickering between these ignorant women, and was starting to have a headache from all this, so he turned to reprimand Yan Yaozong directly.

“Yan Yaozong, who exactly is the head of your family? Have you forgotten what your father had said to you before he died?”

Hearing his uncle call him by his full name, Yan Yaozong knew that he was really livid now. He immediately agreed, saying, “I’ll pay, I’ll pay this instant! I didn’t say I wouldn’t pay, you were a little too hasty, uncle.”

Yan Zhongqing pulled a long face and bellowed, “Hurry home to get your money!!”

If they had talked any longer, he would have been angered to death by his nephew. What an insensible idiot.

“Okay, okay. I’ll go right now.” Yan Yaozong pulled his wife along and hurriedly escaped from the crowd.

Zhao Meier was furious when she saw her man cowering in fear. He was such a good-for-nothing who couldn’t even protect his own woman.

Following that, Yan Zhongqing reorganized a new search and rescue team. This time, with the opportunity to benefit, many people raised their hands and volunteered. In the end, there were 30 people gathered.

It was already very late, so it was indeed not right for so many people to take the risk of going up into the mountain. Even though there was some reward, they also wouldn’t be able to compensate for so many lives if anything bad really happened.

The only thing they could do now was to wait until dawn, then they would head up the mountain to search for Yan Ze.

They only hoped that Ah Ze would stay safe and be able to wait until the next morning, when they would go up into the mountain to rescue him.

After the crowd dispersed, Yan Zhongqing gazed worriedly at the Famous Mountain, which was barely visible in the darkness of the night.

The reason that they were called the Famous Mountain Village was because of the unique landscape of their village. It was surrounded by the mountains on three sides and had only one direction to enter and exit from; the village happened to be snugly situated in the center.

The mountain of this village was filled with highs and lows, and surrounded by mist and clouds, its tall mountain peak seeming to be in mid-air. It was faintly discernible and looked rather ethereal from afar.

This mountain was not only very tall and surrounded by layers of clouds and mist, but it also had another characteristic–its deep and complex terrain. Even until now, no one had ever climbed this mountain completely, so the depths of this mountain were still unknown.

It also had extremely steep slopes and was densely forested, with ancient trees towering into the sky. It could be considered as the most ancient mountain within the radius of a few dozen kilometers, hence the name: Famous Mountain village.

It was precisely because of this endlessly immense mountain that the villagers did not go hungry or starve, as this deep mountain was abundant in natural resources and was verdant all year round.

Unlike other barren towns and villages, Famous Mountain Village could rely on this mountain during famine or war, greatly increasing their survival rates.

However, because of the abundance, there were also many ferocious beasts living deep in the mountains.

Except for those who hunted as their livelihood, most people didn’t dare to hunt alone in the mountains. Therefore, every few months, the village would gather a group of strong men and organize a hunt in the mountains.

This way, not only were they stronger as a group, but they also provided encouragement to each other and worked together to kill their prey.

Although the village relied on Famous Mountain for food, they still viewed it with fear and awe..
