Chapter 433 The Iron Pillar Missing
Zong Hu was emotionally unstable, and he insisted on going to the county to report to the official, and entrusted Wang Yan'er and the child to Fang Jinxiu's care.

Mu was a little worried, so she asked her eldest son Zong Yu to put aside the work at hand for the time being.

"Ayu, why don't you accompany Xiaohu to the county town."

Zong Yu paused and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Fang Jinxiu also thought of another thing, "Tie Zhu went to the county town to pick up Uncle Li, why haven't they come back yet?"

She also specially asked the caravan people to leave a carriage for him. Tiezhu had already learned to drive the carriage, and it stands to reason that he should have reached the foot of the mountain last night.

Today has been going on for most of the day, and no one has been seen.

She told Zong Yu, "You and Brother Zong Hu look for Tiezhu on the way to the county town. Don't go the wrong way."

Zong Yu nodded, subconsciously feeling that it was unlikely.

Tiezhu usually looks naive, but in fact the child is quite clever. The way to the county town is not complicated, and it is not possible to take the wrong road.

It's just that this road is not particularly peaceful. I heard that some bandits still appear from time to time, but they are not as rampant as before.

He felt that this was the only invisible danger, and he hoped that he was just overthinking it.

Without further ado, brothers Zong Yu and Zong Hu took their dry food and set off towards the county town regardless of the darkness.

Zong Yu had good physical strength and could hold on for several hours without rest even if he walked at night. Zong Hu's situation was much more complicated. He was so tired that his body was beginning to overpower him and he never even called to stop and rest.

In the end, Zong Yu couldn't stand it anymore and forced him to stop and make a fire and sit down to rest.

Fang Jinxiu only bought a carriage with the caravan, and Zong Hu couldn't wait for Tiezhu to come back, so the two brothers had to travel overnight.

"There was no trace of Tiezhu along the way. Are they still in the county seat and haven't set off yet?" Zong Hu asked subconsciously.

Although he was in a very heavy mood at the moment, he didn't want Zong Yu and Jinxiu to feel that he couldn't cheer up because of this, and he still wanted to try his best to look normal.

Keep the pain deep inside.

Zong Yu shook his head, "Brother Ahu, please take a rest."

Zong Yu didn't say much else, and handed him food and water, as well as the thin blanket his wife had prepared for the two of them before going out, thinking they could use it if they were traveling at night.

After all, it has already entered autumn. Although the temperature is still very high during the day, it has begun to feel cool at night. If you are careless, you will easily get sick.

Especially Zong Hu must be in a heavy mood right now, and he probably doesn't have much thought to take care of his body.As expected, Zong Yu handed the thing over, but Zong Hu shook his head and refused.

"I don't have much appetite, Ayu, you can eat."

After saying that, he stared at the fire and began to be in a daze without saying a word. Zong Hu didn't sleep, and Zong Yu didn't sleep either. The two brothers rested for an hour. At this time, a trace of fish belly white also lit up on the horizon.

"It's already dawn, let's go, let's continue on the road and get to the county government office early."

Zong Hu stood up and left. Zong Yu had a look of worry in his eyes. Zong Hu's body would soon be unable to bear it if he didn't eat or sleep like this.

It seems that the only option is to report the case to the county government as soon as possible, and then rent a carriage when returning to the city, so that Brother Zonghu can rest for a while.

They accelerated their pace, but when they were approaching the county seat, they saw a seriously injured man on the side of the road.

Zong Yu didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but the man grabbed his trousers and raised his head with difficulty.

"Please, help, help us."

Zong Yu lowered his head and took a look. He thought it was another disaster victim who had fled elsewhere, but he didn't expect that the person lying on the ground was an acquaintance.

"Uncle Li?" He squatted down in surprise and helped the person up.

No wonder it took so long for Tiezhu to come back. It turned out that something really happened.

"How did you end up like this? Where is Tiezhu?"

Li Muhai's injuries were not serious. He was mainly frightened and collapsed. He was unable to speak.

"I, as soon as we left the city, we encountered a group of bandits. Brothers Tie and Tiezhu chased them to snatch the stolen things."

Zong Hu frowned and said, "This silly boy just throws things away. What's more important than his life? How long has he been chasing after him?"

Li Muhai said, "I've been there for two hours, me, me."

He fainted before he could finish his words. Zong Yu checked Li Muhai's whole body and found that he still suffered some external injuries. If he didn't receive proper treatment, his life would be in danger if it continued.

Zong Yu immediately made a decision and handed Li Muhai into Zong Hu's hands.

"Brother Ahu, you take him to the city to find a doctor first, and then report the crime. I'll go find Tiezhu."
