After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she stared at Dachuan nervously, afraid that he would nod and say "yes". Wu Yangyang was a large group of people. If their children were all abducted by evil spirits, wouldn't this Yuzhou City become a den of evil spirits!
Fortunately, Dachuan shook his head and said, "No, no, not all of them were abducted... Some are relatives, we are all relatives!"
Shen Qiqi understood after he said this, and felt relieved, thinking that fortunately things were not as bad as she had imagined.
She looked at everyone and said, "Every household whose children have been abducted should send out a representative who knows the situation."
The crowd was in a commotion for a moment, and then a group of people stood up.
Shen Qiqi counted the heads and found that there were as many as thirty-nine people.
In other words, there were at least thirty-nine children abducted by evil spirits last night, or even more than that. After all, some families may have had more than one child abducted.
For example, Aunt Wonton had two children kidnapped from her family at once.
The number is still astonishing.
Shen Qiqi felt as if two huge rocks were pressing down on her shoulders, heavy and heavy.
But no matter how heavy it was, she couldn't just take the huge rock off her shoulders and leave it alone.
Her father was still in a coma. In his last moment before he lost consciousness, he asked Jiang Xiyan to help hand over the family head token to her.
What her father gave her was not only the token of the head of the family, but also the trust and hope in her. She could not let her father down. She had to take over her father's job and protect the people of Yuzhoucheng.
She didn't want to, and was afraid to see her father's disappointed look when he woke up.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, raised her drooping shoulders, straightened her back, and looked at everyone.
"First, I need to know how old each of your children are, including their exact birth dates."
Although the people didn't know what she wanted the children's birth dates for, since Shen Qiqi asked for it, they gave it to her.
This is their trust in the second daughter of the Shen family, and it is also the only hope they can see.
Everyone seized on this glimmer of hope and scrambled to reveal their children's birth dates.
He looked so anxious, as if his child would die if he spoke too slowly.
Some parents were frail and couldn't compete with the strong ones. They were so anxious that they almost cried. Shen Qiqi had to comfort everyone: "Don't be anxious, come one by one. You all talk at the same time and no one gives way to each other. The voices are mixed together and I can't hear clearly. It will only waste time."
Wasting time means wasting the children's lives. Dachuan had heard Shen Qiqi say this before, so he knew the interests involved. He hurriedly shouted at everyone to stop making noise.
The excited crowd finally suppressed their emotions, and under Dachuan's call, they stepped forward one by one to tell Shen Qiqi the birth dates of their children.
After all the parents reported their children's birth dates, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but secretly gasp.
Because the number of children abducted was far greater than she had imagined.
Thirty-nine parent representatives reported sixty-three birth dates.
Among them, more than half of the families had similar situations to the Okawa family: two children were abducted at the same time.
One family was even more miserable, as three children were abducted at once.
Shen Qiqi stared at the densely packed birth dates on the paper, thought for a moment, and read out a few names.
The parent representative who was named quickly stood out of the queue and looked at Shen Qiqi nervously and anxiously.
"Second Miss, has our child already..." encountered an accident?
There were so many parents present, but he didn't call anyone out, but instead called them out by name, which made them think about it.
But that fact was too cruel and no one could accept it. Therefore, no matter how much they thought about it, they were reluctant to ask.
As if there is still hope.
However, their shivering bodies and snow-white faces had already written their inner guesses on their faces.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi hurriedly comforted the frightened parents.
"Don't be foolish. I called you out only to get a clearer understanding. It doesn't mean that your child has met with any misfortune."
Shen Qiqi's words were like a quick-acting life-saving pill. Several parents who were frightened out of their wits came back to life in an instant. Some wiped their cold sweat, while others cried with joy.
Other parents who were not named also breathed a sigh of relief for them.
Great, the kids are okay!
As long as the children are still alive, everything is fine!
Shen Qiqi saw their reactions and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It is said that children are the life of their parents. This is absolutely true. Just look at the reactions of these parents.
Shen Qiqi couldn't bear to see them suffer so much, so she asked directly, "Is the child you kidnapped a single or twin?"
Except for the ones mentioned above, all other families had two children abducted at once.
Combined with the fact that those children were twins, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but have a guess in her mind.
And her guess was soon confirmed.
Then I heard several family representatives say one after another: "My family has twins, but the younger sister died when she was three years old!"
"I have twins too, but the older one died right after he was born!"
"And my family, it's the same thing. One of them died along the way!"
Children's lives are so fragile, as fragile as grass without bones, a little wind or rain can kill them.
Thinking of their poor children who died young, the family representatives wiped their tears sadly again.
Shen Qiqi didn't have time to comfort them at the moment.
Her guess was confirmed, which made her feel a little relieved, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.
She turned her attention back to all the parents and immediately asked the second question.
"Second question: Do your abducted children behave in any way that's different from the average person? For example, any physical defects or unusual behavior."
This question seemed to be more difficult to answer than the first one. Seeing all the parents looking at each other, they seemed to be worried about opening their mouths.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi immediately restrained her expression and said to them seriously:
"I'm not asking these questions to pry into your children's secrets. It's just that this secret could potentially affect their lives, so I have to ask. I hope you can tell me the truth and not hide anything. Because what you hide could very well be the very weapon that kills your children."
The girl's eyes were sharp, her expression was stern, and her fair, delicate face was tense. She looked so serious and solemn that she didn't seem to be trying to scare people on purpose.
Who dares to hide it now?
"Second Miss, I, I just lied. My two children... were actually born on a yin year, yin month, and yin hour. Is this considered abnormal?"
