The first batch of rice would need to be planted in a few days, so these past days, the four brothers had all been busy in the fields.
Jianguo was washing his feet with a basin when he heard this. He turned his head to look and replied, "No, I haven't seen our second brother in the fields at all today. What's happened?"
"How is that possible? He left at noon! He said he was going to the fields! How could he not be there all day! He still hasn't come back!" Upon hearing this, Liao Zhaoji became anxious.

"Be careful on the road," the Ruanlin Family advised.
Jianguo acknowledged and was already walking into the distance.
