Chapter 266 Found
Chunqin was not happy at first, but when she thought of the attitude of Rong Laosi and his wife, she immediately changed her mind, "Okay! I'll go with you to look for him. Little Twelve is the one who sticks to me the most, so he should listen to me. If we find him, the Fourth Master and the Aunt will be happy, and we can leave the village."
They volunteered to go out and look for someone.
Dongfeng was also a little moved, and seeing that Chunxiang didn't move, he asked, "Aren't you going to go look for her?"
Chunxiang's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule, "What are you looking for? It's dark, the village roads are hard to walk on, and we're not familiar with them. Where can we look? Don't come back and not find the person and cause trouble."
Dongfeng thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he waited with Chunxiang.
Rong Laosi and Mrs. Qiu in the room kept exchanging glances, wondering what to do next.
Their original idea was to intimidate the township head and the village chief, then extort some money from them and leave, which would not delay anything else. As for Little Twelve, if they really found him, he would have been beaten to death, so he had no value and could be lost.
But in the current situation, they can't just walk away, otherwise Su Tai's suspicion will be confirmed, which will be disadvantageous to them.
The couple wanted to cut Su Tai into pieces at this moment, but they still had to pretend to be indignant on their faces.
At this time, Chunqin and a few others were holding lanterns and pretending to look for Xiao Twelve on the village path.
Chun Xing complained, "It's pitch dark, we're lucky enough to be able to see the road clearly, how can we find it?"
Chunqin rolled her eyes at her, "Stupid! We just come out and look around, and then go back when the time is right. By then, the boss and the lady will surely have calmed down and won't bother us. It would be even better if we can find Little Twelve, and we can make a contribution."
"Then why don't Chunxiang and the others come out to look for it with us?" Chunxing didn't quite understand.
Chunqin said sarcastically, "She is a favorite of the troupe owner and the auntie, so she has to stay here and wait for the troupe owner and the auntie's orders! Anyway, if something goes wrong, the auntie will just scold Chunxiang at most. If we stay there, it will be different. The auntie can eat us! Don't you think so?"
"Yes! Chunqin is right. In fact, it's better that Xiao Twelve ran away. He will only die if he goes back." Dongri rarely said something fair.
Everyone was silent.
Chunqin said angrily, "He was relieved when he ran away, but we had to work so hard. It's really like what Auntie said, he is an ungrateful person who can never be fed. I was so kind to him, and he almost got me punished along with him."
"Okay, stop talking. I see that all the villagers are heading in that direction. Why don't we go there and take a look?" Dongchuan said loudly, pointing in the direction of the village entrance.
At this moment, they couldn't even tell the directions of east, west, south and north. It would be even more troublesome if they accidentally entered the fields.
Everyone nodded quickly and walked towards the fire with lanterns in hand.
They didn't feel relieved until they got close to the crowd.
Shen Liang held up the torch and frowned at the newcomers, "Aren't you from the opera troupe? What are you doing here?"
"We are here to help find Xiao Twelve." Chunqin looked worried.
Shen Liang had no feelings of sympathy at all, and only sternly reprimanded: "This is already outside the village, there may be wild beasts coming down from the mountains, how dare you come out when you are so thin and weak?"
"Ah? We didn't know!" Chun Xing's face turned pale with fright.
The others were also frightened.
Chunqin was afraid of being blamed by everyone, so she quickly led them into the crowd and then explained, "We were too worried. Little Twelve is so young, what if something happens? Also, our class leader and auntie were so anxious that they started arguing with the township head and the village head. If we stay in the compound, they will also take their anger out on us, so we might as well come out and look for someone."
Shen Liang shook his head, he really couldn’t understand.
Chen Mu and other older men groaned, "Okay, stop talking. Now that everyone is here, let's help together. Follow the dog. There must be something wrong where the dog is barking."
Chunqin and the others nodded repeatedly.
Just at this moment, the dog barked a few times, and everyone hurriedly looked in a certain direction in the darkness, only to find that it was a desolate wilderness with overgrown weeds, and they couldn't even see where the dog was.
Everyone was scared, and they didn't know whether the dog really discovered something or was in danger.
Just as everyone was hesitating, more dogs rushed in, and the barking of dogs echoed throughout the wilderness.
Chunqin and the others subconsciously huddled together, trembling.
"If I had known this earlier, I would rather stay in the compound and be scolded than come here!" Chun Xing trembled and was about to cry.
I saw all the villagers went into the woods.
A few people were so scared that they could only grit their teeth and follow in.
Unexpectedly, they saw a shocking scene.
"This, this, this, isn't this our troupe's box?" Chunqin exclaimed, and when she realized something was wrong she quickly covered her mouth with a look of horror.
The villager looked solemn and went forward to check the box, only to find that it was locked.
Shen Liang pointed at Chun Qin and the others with a sullen face, "Come here and unlock it!"
"No, no, no. This box has nothing to do with us. We didn't know about it!" Chunqin and the others shook their heads frantically.
All the villagers were angry.
They came forward and surrounded them.
Chunxiang was so frightened that she fell to the ground and burst into tears, "We really don't have the key. The key is in the hands of the class owner and the lady."
Chen Mu's face turned green as he asked, "Just tell me if this box belongs to the opera troupe. Don't lie!"
Faced with the angry villagers, Chunqin and the others had no chance of resisting and quickly nodded in agreement.
Chenmu and the others weighed the box and had a hunch that it contained a child, but there was no response after they shouted for a long time.
Before Chunqin and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, the dog started barking wildly when it saw that the villagers did not open the box and did not listen.
Now the villagers dared not wait any longer.
"I'll drive it. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility." Shen Quezi rushed out gritting his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Chen Mu looked at him with a sad heart, "You have been tossing and turning for the whole night, take a rest first, we will do it."
"No! I can't wait any longer!" Shen Quezi stepped forward decisively with an axe. He was determined to fight to the death, so he acted without hesitation. He just chopped it down and the lock of the box was cut off.
When the box arrived, Shen Quezi's eyes were blurred with tears, "Xiao Xi! Daddy's Xiao Xi!"
Everyone was delighted and rushed forward to help carry the child out, while others quickly broke up another large box.
Chunqin and the others stared at the scene in front of them in shock, their hands and feet turned cold with fear. It's over! They are finished!
Sure enough, the child was rescued and sent to town overnight.
Shen Liang and his men also controlled Chunqin and the others.
Chunqin struggled like crazy and begged for mercy: "We really don't know anything, please forgive us! This matter really has nothing to do with us."
"We are innocent. It must be the boss and the aunt who did it. Please let us go!" Chun Xing cried with tears and snot.
