I never imagined that the rumors circulating outside were true!

Wang Shuilian was taken aback and quickly reminded them, "You should hurry up and call the villagers to go look for them! You and your son can't bring them back just because you're yelling at them at home!"

Upon hearing this, Old Hu exclaimed, "That's right! We must hurry and find someone to help! We can't let that slut Liu Lingli get away!"

So Old Man Hu asked the villagers for help to search for Liu Lingli everywhere.

This is when you see the power of a village.

After this happened, everyone should come out and help find the person!

Secretary Hu divided the people into several groups and sent them out separately to search.

In the village, a young intellectual who had been sent to the countryside disappeared without any apparent reason, and Secretary Hu had no way to explain it!

The Snake King awoke inside the barrier and, as usual, searched for information about the outside world, discovering that Liu Lingli had stolen from the Hu family and escaped.

"Liu Lingli has escaped; she's headed towards the county town," the Snake King said, reminding He Tiantian.

He Tiantian was taken aback and said, "Her shameful deeds have been exposed, and she can no longer live in Hujia Village, so naturally she has to run away! Where has she run to now?"

“It’s about 30 miles away from Hujia Village. Any further and I can’t sense it anymore,” said the Snake King. “That woman ran away with the package the morning after Hu Damao and Hu Laohan left home.”

He Tiantian put down the sickle in her hand, asked Aunt Liu for leave, and went to find her father, He Jingyu.

When He Jingyu heard that Liu Lingli had run away, he thought of how Liu Lingli had poisoned his family before, and he thought to himself with hatred, "I'll borrow Secretary Qi's bicycle right now, and we'll go after that vicious woman."

The father and daughter went down the mountain and borrowed a car from Secretary Qi.

He Jingyu rode his bicycle and took He Tiantian with him to chase after them.

He Jingyu didn't actually know where to chase after her; he only heard his daughter say she was going to the county town.

After riding for a while, He Jingyu said, "Sweetie, how did you know Liu Lingli would go to the county town?"

“I’m guessing,” He Tiantian said. “Liu Lingli is pregnant. She can’t survive in the mountains. No one will take her in other villages either. So she must be going to the county town to either find a place to stay or to catch a train to another place!”

“What you said makes sense. Let’s go to the county town and take a look,” He Jingyu agreed. On the way, they met some other people who were also going to the county town to find Liu Lingli.

However, after He Jingyu and He Tiantian had gone halfway, the Snake King said regretfully, "That woman has already climbed onto a train and gone with the goods."

He Tiantian sighed inwardly, but still let Liu Lingli escape.

"Do you know which train it is?" He Tiantian asked, wanting to know where Liu Lingli might get off along the way.

"Train 512," the Snake King replied. This Liu Lingli was too shrewd and bold, but she didn't use her intelligence in the right way.

Now that Liu Lingli is gone, she will inevitably become irreconcilable enemies with He Tiantian!

The people of Hujia Village have reported the case to the county police station, but since the person has been missing for less than 48 hours, the case will not be filed.

Forty-eight hours later, Liu Lingli was nowhere to be found, so the people of Hujia Village continued their search.

"We can't catch up anymore, can we?" He Tiantian asked, sounding very regretful.

"Yes, she's already out of my detection range!" the Snake King said apologetically. "Once I've mastered my cultivation and my divine sense is stronger, I'll be able to find out where she is!"

He Tiantian sensed the Snake King's guilt and said, "That's fine! Snake King, you've already helped me a lot. You don't need to feel ashamed. I didn't mean to blame you."

The snake king's breath hitched; in truth, it was blaming itself!

"I'm going to start cultivating," the Snake King said, and then sealed the barrier.

That night, He Tiantian went to find Niu Lili and they spent the night together.

He Jingyu was taken by Niu Lili to Niu Dajun's place to stay for the night.

The next morning, He Jingyu bought some daily necessities and took He Tiantian back to Qijia Village.

When Wang Shuping saw her husband and daughter return, she asked, "Have you found Liu Lingli?"

"No, so many people were looking for us, and we had things to do, so we went home," He Jingyu replied. When he first heard yesterday that Liu Lingli had run away, his first instinct was to go find her. But in this vast sea of ​​people, finding someone isn't so easy!

Wang Shuping felt uneasy and finally sighed, "Sigh, I still can't understand why Liu Lingli would poison us..."

“Yes, I don’t understand it either,” He Jingyu said. “We have no enemies, so who would do this to us?”

He Tiantian listened from the side. She knew that even with the Snake King's help, she might not be able to find out who had done it.

Suddenly, He Tiantian had a flash of inspiration. She didn't have anyone with that kind of ability, but what about Huo Yingjie?

Last time, there was a woman who impersonated Huo Yingjie and wrote her a letter!

Yes, the more He Tiantian thought about it, the more sense it made. That night, she wrote a letter to Huo Yingjie, asking him to help her investigate.

Compared to the scholarly He family, the Huo family had more channels for obtaining information.

In the past, when she encountered problems, He Tiantian always tried to solve them herself, but now that she couldn't solve this problem herself, she asked Huo Yingjie to solve it.

Moreover, Huo Yingjie also said that if there is anything, I should contact him.

He gets angry and unhappy if I don't contact him!

He Tiantian's letter was taken away by the postman who came to the village to deliver mail.

He Tiantian received Qi Xiaoyan's letter, and the photo of Qi Xiaoyan in military uniform was still in her mind.

That single word is so bold and spirited; women are just as capable as men!

He Tiantian pointed to the photo and said, "Mom, this is Xiaoyan, Secretary Qi's daughter. She was admitted to the performing arts troupe this year."

"This girl is beautiful," Wang Shuping praised, knowing that this was her daughter's good friend.

"Yes, and he has a good temperament too," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Being in the army, I don't know when I can go home to visit my family!"

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "I estimate I'll be able to come back around the Chinese New Year."

"By the way, Mom, how are the peach trees doing?" He Tiantian asked, as her parents had been quite busy lately.

Upon hearing about the peach trees, Wang Shuping's eyes lit up with joy, and she said happily, "They've all survived, so there's no need to worry. The back mountain of Qijia Village is indeed a blessed place. In other places, an 80% survival rate would be considered good."

"That's good, then I'll be able to eat peaches next year," He Tiantian said with a smile. "But I also want to eat the persimmons from home."

"I knew you liked them. Your Aunt Lifang helped us pick persimmons and will send us some later," Wang Shuping said with a smile. "Our persimmons are firm; they won't soften no matter how long they're stored. They'll only get tastier."

"Mmm." He Tiantian nodded. The persimmons from that tree were delicious, but more importantly, they brought back wonderful memories.

The sweetness of being together as a family, and the joy of playing with Huo Yingjie. (To be continued.)
