Void space.
Before the wealthy man even arrived, he called out, "We're back! Little brat, come out and greet us!"
No one answered.
Upon entering the space, Ata and Xiao Yin were still nowhere to be seen; only Qin Ze remained.
"Hey, where did those two little brats, Ata and Xiaoyin, go?" Fugui asked in confusion.
Qin Ze smiled and said, "The two kids were bored and said they wanted to go out for a walk, so don't worry about them."
Qi An nodded; she knew she wouldn't be able to catch them when she came back.
Qin Ze bowed to the two of them: "Thank you both for taking care of Qin Yu. I have no regrets. I'm going to find Qin Yu's mother now. She has been waiting for me for a long time."
Qi An helped him up: "No need to be polite. I haven't even found a wife for Qin Yu yet."
Qin Ze smiled and said, "Let him handle his own wife matters. Otherwise, he'll really become the foolish son of a landlord. I believe he will find happiness this time."
After the transaction was completed, Qin Ze left.
Fu Gui asked with some concern, "Sister An'an, should we go look for those two kids?"
Qi An slumped onto the sofa: "No need. I left a talisman on Ata. I'll know if there's any danger. The child is grown up and should be independent."
Fu Gui slumped down next to her: "It's alright, it's good that the brat is away. It's rare for us to have some peace and quiet."
A small world in a lower plane.
Ata and Xiaoyin have been out playing for many days, eating and sightseeing along the way, and the two of them are having so much fun that they don't want to leave.
until……
"Xiao Yin, we've spent all our money. Let's go back. Judging by the time, Boss and Fugui will be back soon too."
Xiao Yin held a grilled squid bigger than her face, slurping as she ate, "Brother, it's so spicy, so spicy..."
"I told you we couldn't put in so many chilies, but you wouldn't listen. Where are you going?"
Xiao Yin let go of Ata's hand and ran forward, too spicy to speak.
Ata looked ahead and saw that it was a small cart selling sweet soup.
Ata quickly chased after him: "Hey, Little Yin, come back, we're out of money to buy it."
Xiao Yin had already slipped to the stall. The sweet soup smelled delicious, and her little face, flushed red from the spiciness, was filled with longing.
The stall owner was an elderly woman with a full head of white hair. She looked at Xiao Yin with a kind expression, scooped a cup of sugar water and handed it to her: "Child, would you like a cup?"
As soon as Xiao Yin reached out her hand, Ata pulled it back: "No need, Grandma, we don't have any money."
The old lady smiled and said, "If you don't have money, you don't have money. It's just a cup of sugar water, it's not worth much. Consider it my treat."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Xiao Yin eagerly took the sugar water and gulped down several mouthfuls, which finally suppressed the spiciness.
The old lady warmly offered Ata another cup, which Ata couldn't refuse, so he drank it.
Ata put down her cup and said earnestly, "Grandma, is there anything you wish for? We can help you fulfill it."
"No, no," the old lady said, waving her hands repeatedly, thinking he was joking. "I don't need you to do anything."
Ata insisted, "Yes, my sister always says that you should repay kindness and avenge wrongs. If we drink your sweet soup, we can grant you one wish."
Xiao Yin added, "Grandma, please tell us quickly! My brother and I are really amazing!"
"Good children, really, it's not necessary. Grandma just thinks of my little grandson when she sees you. He loves my sweet soup the most."
As Grandma spoke, she looked to the side of the stroller, pulled up her apron, and wiped her eyes.
Ata then noticed that the cart was covered with cloth on three sides.
It was a missing person notice with a picture of a little boy on it and words written around it.
Li Jiahao, eight years old this year, went missing five years ago. A generous reward will be given to anyone who provides clues.
Ata pointed to the boy's photo and asked, "Grandma, is this your grandson?"
Grandma choked up and said, "Yes, Hao Hao has been missing for five years and we still haven't found him. I don't know if I'll be able to see him before I close my eyes."
How did it get lost?
Grandma, perhaps having kept it all bottled up for too long, began to confide in the two children.
After her daughter-in-law gave birth, she went to work in another city with her son, leaving her to take care of her grandson.
When Li Jiahao was a little over three years old, his grandmother took him out to play.
A van drove by, the door opened, and two men wearing hats and masks got out and snatched the child from her arms.
By the time Grandma realized what was happening, the van had turned a corner and disappeared.
The child was lost just like that.
The grandmother immediately called the police while crying, but there were no surveillance cameras on that section of the road, making it as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Grandma's husband had heart disease. When he learned that his most beloved grandson was missing, he suffered a heart attack and died on the spot.
The son and daughter-in-law nearly went crazy when they received the call and rushed back overnight.
They complained that the grandmother hadn't looked after the child properly, and the daughter-in-law said she would get a divorce if she couldn't find the child.
The saddest person is the grandmother. He is the grandson she raised with her own hands. If her grandson could come back, she would not hesitate to die immediately.
The once happy family was suddenly devoid of laughter. Five years have passed, and they have traveled to countless places and posted countless missing person notices.
Whenever they received a lead that seemed to be about their child, their son and daughter-in-law would rush there no matter how far away they were. Gradually, even the scammers stopped calling.
Grandma said through tears, "Grandma is a sinner. I won't be able to die in peace if I can't find my grandson."
Over the years, she has almost cried herself blind.
She earnestly advised, "You must be careful when you go out. There are many bad guys out there, so please be very careful."
Ata exhaled, grasped his grandmother's hand tightly, and solemnly said, "Grandma, don't worry, you will definitely see your grandson."
Grandma didn't take it seriously, thinking Ata was just trying to comfort her, so she urged them to go home quickly and not worry the adults at home.
Ata led Xiao Yin away from the dessert stall.
Xiao Yin asked, "Brother Ata, should we help Grandma find her grandson?"
“Of course,” Ata nodded. “Consider it as a way of repaying Grandma for treating us to sweet soup.”
"Okay, sure."
Ata opened his palm, revealing a drop of blood, which he had taken when his grandmother wasn't looking.
In a previous world, Ata and Qi'an had helped a soldier find his blood sister, so they took the grandmother's blood.
Ata thought to himself, "Please, boss, I hope Grandma's grandson is still alive."
Holding the drop of blood tightly against his forehead, Ata closed his eyes and carefully sensed it; a faint line of blood was guiding him.
Ata suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed with joy, "Great! He's still alive! I know his approximate location now!"
Xiao Yin was also very happy: "Then let's go quickly."
"good."
Ata, holding Little Yin's hand, disappeared from the spot.
In the southwest, there is an ordinary small county town.
Ata and Xiaoyin stood on the street for a long time, and because she was a grandmother from a different generation, the bloodline guidance disappeared here.
This only means that Li Jiahao is near the county town, but we cannot pinpoint his location.
