"Are you sure you didn't lose the child?
This is Sanshan Village, right?"
The servant in the palace felt that he had not come to the wrong place.
But there are only these two families in this village.
Looking up, the village was full of ruins and it looked like no one lived there.
If neither family had lost their child, then did he hear it wrong?
“This is Sanshan Village, for sure.
But my brother and I really didn't lose our child.
I heard that someone lost their child in the next village.
Why don't you go to the next village and ask.
A lot of new immigrants arrived yesterday. It's possible they've just arrived and aren't familiar with the place names, so they gave the wrong village name."
The village chief's younger brother Yang Shoucai lied without blinking an eye.
The servants in the palace didn't realize that he was lying.
Maybe the child really gave the wrong village name.
He led his horse a few steps forward to see if there was anyone else.
It is possible that these two families did not know that the new family had lost their child.
So as not to miss the opportunity.
Yang Shoucai saw that the man didn't listen to him and even wanted to go to the village.
He saw those people, including those children, going to the back mountain to look for someone.
There's no one there now.
I didn't care about it anymore.
I went home and closed the gate.
As soon as she entered the door, her wife brought her a bowl of sugar water.
"The child's father must be thirsty, have a bowl of sugar water.
Who were you talking to outside just now?
Why do I hear that the child has been found?"
"Don't ask about other people's affairs."
Yang Shoucai gave his wife a vicious look, which frightened her.
But thinking about what happened before, I dare not not say it.
If I keep it secret and he finds out, I'll beat him up again.
“Of course I know.
Just before, someone knocked on my door and asked if I had lost my child, but I didn’t even open the door. He said no and left.
Yang Shoucai's wife spoke quickly and anxiously, fearing that if she spoke slowly, she would be slapped. Fortunately, she spoke quickly enough and Yang Shoucai did not hit her.
Yang Shoucai's eyes flashed.
I didn't realize that group of migrants had some abilities.
Not only did they call so many officers to help with the search, but there were also two groups of people coming to ask about the child. Could it be that they really found the child?
"If someone asks you, just say you don't know.
It would be best if these people couldn’t stay in the village because of the children they were looking for.
Then next year we can still plant all the best land.
You don’t want the land to be divided up by those people, and we have to climb up the mountain every day to farm.
Not only will we have no harvest this year, but we won't even have enough to eat, and we'll still have to pay heavy taxes, right?"
After hearing what Yang Shoucai said, Yang Shoucai's wife hurriedly shook her head with a look of horror in her eyes, and then lowered her head again.
Because of those prime lands, they were the only two families left in the village.
She never thought that her man Yang Shoucai and his brother Yang Shouwang were such cruel and terrifying people.
But now she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
Ever since what happened last year, she no longer dared to look her man in the eye.
I dare not even think about that incident.
I always have nightmares at night, and I will be woken up by them, and then be beaten.
Even every time I go to work in the fields, I think of that horrible thing.
He quickly shook his head and promised not to tell anyone about it.
Yang Shoucai thought his wife wouldn't dare to say anything nonsense unless she didn't want to live anymore.
Seeing her frightened look, I was very satisfied.
"Hurry up and go cook, do you want to starve me to death?"
"I'll go and do it right away."
As it was getting dark in the evening, the servant from the palace saw that there was indeed no one in the village, so he didn't stay here for long.
Get on your horse and go to the next village to avoid wasting time.
Leng Yingshuang, Shu Shi and the others couldn't wait any longer in the village, so they simply went to the back mountain together.
The Zhou family's wives couldn't stay any longer, so they simply took their children with them and went to the back mountain.
He also took the ox carts of both families and all their belongings.
Even though they are all broken things, I still feel uneasy.
It was obvious that Village Chief Yang and the other family were not good people.
A few people caught up with Chen, but they were still worried and asked her to go to the mountains alone to look for someone.
“I don’t know if there are jackals or wild beasts in this mountain.
Let's knock on it with the pots. If someone hears the sound, they will definitely come back."
“Yes, yes, that’s better.
Let’s not run around and cause trouble, let’s just bang the pots!
I'll knock."
Xiu'er held a copper basin from the Zhou family in one hand and a spatula in the other, and started knocking on them.
The others were not idle either, and started cooking.
Leng Yingshuang thought about how everyone had helped search in the mountains for most of the day without a drop of water, so she prepared to make them something to eat and drink on the mountain.
I remembered that the person who came to report the news before said that Fubao and Meng Liqian would be sent back around the hour of Hai.
"I don't know where Shijie and the others are, and whether they can get back in time. Why don't we just wait in the mountains?"
Leng Yingshuang asked Chen and Ji.
Everyone nodded.
"That's good. If they can't come back, we'll be here to pick up the children."
They discussed it and cooked while waiting.
As luck would have it, the servant from the palace didn't see even a ghost when he entered the village.
He went around several surrounding villages, but couldn't find anyone who had lost a child. He didn't return to the palace until late at night.
Ning's House in Liuxiang, Beideng Town
It was getting evening and the servant who went out to get information had not returned yet. Ning Zhuoying was getting angry again.
"Master, the scouting servant is back!"
