Sanshan Village
Prefect Chang sent a number of runners to Sanshan Village to look for the missing Meng Shuyan and Meng Liqian, searching all over the mountains and plains.
Because there was a dead body on the back mountain, the officers focused their search in the direction of the dead body.
Officer Li went to the village chief's house in person and asked his two grandsons to identify the dead man in black.
But the village chief and his wife were unwilling to do so. They protected their two grandsons and refused to let them go out. They were very uncooperative, and Officer Li was angry.
There are five or six men in the two families of Village Chief Yang, and he doesn't want to get into conflict with these two families alone.
He had originally come here to look for someone, but didn't want to cause any trouble, so he called two officers to transport the body directly to the city and report to Lord Chang.
When Village Chief Yang's younger brother saw the officers leave, he quickly closed the gate and turned to discuss things with his elder brother.
"Brother, you see they've taken the body away. What should we do if the government summons us?"
The whole family was waiting for Village Chief Yang to speak.
Village chief Yang looked at his two grandsons and waved them over.
"No matter who asks, even if the prefect himself asks you two, you just say you don't know who they are and that you only saw someone pull the carriage away. Did you hear me?"
The two grandsons nodded in shock.
Village chief Yang and his brother went to talk aside again.
"Sister-in-law and sisters-in-law, you haven't eaten for a whole day, eat something.
Don’t let the child be found by the time you all collapse from exhaustion and no one will take care of the child.”
Xiu'er's mother cooked porridge and served it to Chen, Leng Yingshuang and others.
But no one could drink it, they just sat there staring outside.
Other people in the family also didn't let them go out to look for the child, for fear that they would faint and no one would know.
Chen and the others knew that they couldn't go out and cause more trouble, so they just stared blankly in the direction where the child disappeared, without eating or drinking.
“The fact that the child was not seen means that he is safe.
The prefect has sent many officials to help search for it, so we will definitely find it."
Doctor Zhou's wife, Ruan, was also trying to persuade him.
"Yeah, so many people are helping to look for it."
“Tap tap…”
Suddenly, someone on horseback came running into the village.
The man didn't know whose family the master asked him to report to, so he went to knock on the Yang family's door.
“I said I don’t know, I don’t know!
What can two kids know? Just go find someone yourself. Don't you keep knocking on the door? Aren't you annoying? "
The man didn't expect that this family had such a bad temper. They scolded him and refused to open the door for him. This family probably didn't have a lost child.
He went to knock on the door of Village Chief Yang's younger brother's house again.
Only the daughter-in-law was at home. She thought it was the man who came back, so she opened the door.
Seeing a strange man at the door, he was so scared that he wanted to close the door immediately.
If she looked at him a few more times, her husband would definitely beat her when he came back.
"bump!"
The door had just opened and was closed again before he could say anything.
The man was nearly hit on the nose.
Who are these people!
Thinking of the master's order, he asked loudly.
"Has anyone in your village lost a child?"
The young woman inside the door saw that the person at the door had not left yet, and hurriedly replied.
“No, no!”
Seeing this, the man thought that this was probably not the lost child of this family.
He went back to the village.
He even suspected that he had come to the wrong place. Wasn't this Sanshan Village?
Losing a child is a big deal, everyone in the village must know about it.
Leng Yingshuang heard the sound of horse hooves, quickly stood up, and ran towards the direction of the sound.
I thought it was Meng Shijie who came back. Did he find his daughter?
When he came out, he saw a strange man riding a horse, and the hope on his face dimmed again.
The man on horseback saw Leng Yingshuang turn around and leave, so he immediately rode forward to ask.
"Excuse me, young lady, do you know if anyone in this village has lost a child?"
When Leng Yingshuang heard the man's question, she immediately turned around and said anxiously, "It's me!
My child is lost. Have you seen my child?
Where is my Fubao?
Please take me to find her quickly!
I kneel down for you!"
Leng Yingshuang said as she was about to kneel down to the man.
When Chen and others saw Leng Yingshuang running out like crazy, they followed her out and saw Leng Yingshuang about to kneel down to someone.
"Young lady, don't worry. Your child has been rescued by my master and is now at home."
When Chen and others came out, they heard what the man said. Their eyes lit up and they all surrounded him. Leng Yingshuang couldn't kneel down.
"Really? Where is your house?
Take us there quickly, the child must be terrified!"
"Where's the child? Why don't you bring the child back?"
The man was a little scared because he was surrounded by so many women.
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
"you say!"
Leng Yingshuang and others fell silent.
“Because I wasn’t sure whose child it was, I didn’t bring it with me.
But don't worry, I'll go back now. It's a bit far away, but I can bring the child back around 11:00 am.
But when the time comes, we will take a shortcut through the back mountain.
It's urgent, I'll go back now."
As the man said this, he mounted his horse, turned around, and rode away, not giving Leng Yingshuang and the others a chance to react.
“Woo…”
Leng Yingshuang finally burst into tears when she heard that her daughter was fine.
From the time her child was lost until now, she hasn't shed a single tear, and she has been holding her breath and dares not relax.
