"Why are you here?" The old man was so scared that his cotton shoes fell off halfway through his wearing.
"Aren't Yonglu and Yongyue at home? Why are they gone?"
Tai Jizu took a few deep breaths and said, "I harnessed the carriage to pick you and Zhuzhu up this morning. Yonglu and Yongyue were afraid I wouldn't take them with me, so they ran away a few steps ahead. I dragged Ruiyang out of the house after me, but I didn't see them along the way until I entered the city and found Uncle Banxian's stall. Uncle Banxian read their fortune and said that they were in trouble, but they were safe and sound, and there was a noble person to help them! Uncle Banxian asked our family to search for them quickly, fearing that the two boys were hurt!"
The old man felt dizzy when he heard this. There were only four grandchildren in his family. Although Yonglu and Yongyue were the youngest and the most mischievous, they were also the ones who showed the most filial piety to him.
Moreover, the second son and his wife only have one son, Yongyue!
Find it, find it quickly, no mistakes can be made!
"Go back to the village immediately and find Zhimaqiu. Also, tell your third uncle to ask all the tribesmen to lend a hand!"
At this time, the Min family's helpers had already entered the yard.
The veterans hurried into the house to report, "Old man, the Min family has sent people to help. They said that Manager Min asked the master family to send twenty people!"
Old Master Tai and Tai Jizu hurried out and bowed to everyone to express their gratitude.
A guard from the Min family returned the greeting and said, "Old man, our steward went to the Wu family again. I guess he also went to ask for help!"
Wu family?!
The old man's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered that his granddaughter was still at the Wu family.
He quickly chased Tai Jizu and the old soldier away, "Old soldier, go back to the village to report the news. Jizu and the brothers of the Min family will guard all the intersections outside the city first. Don't let anyone go, whether they are coming from the south or the north."
Everyone responded quickly, but the old man went straight to the Wu family.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Wu's house, he ran into Manager Min, Manager Wu Yin and a large group of people!
"Uncle, I came here to ask for help on my own initiative. Yongning went home to report the news. I left Ruiyang here to keep Zhuzhu company!" Manager Min hurried forward to explain clearly.
The old man patted him hard, without any intention of blaming him, and instructed, "Wait for me for a moment, I will come out and take you out of the city!"
After saying that, he ran to the yard.
Mrs. Wu was afraid that Zhuzhu would be scared, so she gave up her son and held Zhuzhu in her arms to comfort her.
Mr. Wu also used the excuse of testing his homework to unconsciously divert Chen Ruiyang's attention.
Song Hui and others helped out and praised Chen Ruiyang from time to time.
At this time, the old man suddenly came in, and the two children burst into tears.
Zhuzhu struggled hard to get into the old man's arms, and Chen Ruiyang rushed forward like a cannonball and hugged the old man's waist tightly.
"Wow, Grandpa, I just had diarrhea for a while, and when I came out I couldn't see Yonglu and Yongyue anymore! Wow, if I had been with them, they wouldn't have gotten lost!"
Chen Ruiyang, Yonglu and Yongyue were the iron triangle, playing pranks together and reading and writing together. Now that Yonglu and Yongyue are missing, he is left alone, and he always feels guilty for betraying his brothers.
Grandpa Tai took his granddaughter in his arms, patted Chen Ruiyang on the shoulder and consoled him, "Why are you crying? You're lucky you didn't follow those two brats, or else you would have been lost together! Just stay here with Zhuzhu and listen to the master. I was able to find you back then, and I can find Yonglu and Yongyue this time, too!"
Sure enough, Chen Ruiyang felt much more at peace after hearing this. He wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously.
Grandpa Tai didn't care that everyone was there and asked his fat granddaughter directly, "Zhuzhu, what color is grandpa's hair?"
Others were stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
Zhuzhu, on the other hand, looked at the top of her grandfather's head seriously and said in a baby voice, "White, Grandpa is white!"
Old Master Tai breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the color wasn't black, which represented impending doom!
Maybe it was really as Banxian said, the children escaped danger this time!
He quickly stuffed Zhuzhu into Mrs. Wu's arms and bowed deeply, "Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, I'll trouble you to help take care of these two children. I'll come and pick them up after things at home are settled."
"Okay, that's what I should do!" Mr. Wu quickly agreed, adding, "If you need any more manpower or help, be sure to send someone to let me know. Also, Yongning ran back to the village to report the news!"
The old man nodded, bowed hurriedly again, and left quickly.
In Taijia Village, reports were quickly received from Yongning and the old soldier one after another!
The whole mountain village was immediately in an uproar because of the lost child!
Every household that could still breathe rushed to the village entrance with their own tools.
Master Tai San stood on a big rock and began to assign people with red eyes.
Fortunately, the caravan did not go to the grassland, and there were plenty of horses at home.
Uncle Tai's hands were shaking as he held the pipe, and his mind was turning over and over again, afraid that he would make a mistake and not be able to find the child.
He called He Shan and Heng Qi forward and instructed them, "You are both from the border defense army, so you should know how to find people better than me.
"Since your Sixth Uncle is away, you'll be assigned the tasks. According to my family, the two boys were most likely lost along the way, but they could also have been taken into the city.
"I have no other requests, just to make sure the village is not empty and not raided by bad guys, and then find these two guys as soon as possible and make sure they don't get hurt!"
"Okay, clan leader, we'll do our best!" He Shan said steadily.
Hengqi Yiqi said, "Don't worry, Patriarch, I will bring them back safely even if I die!"
Master Tai San nodded and loudly instructed the young and old men in the village.
"Everyone, shut up and listen to He Shan and Hengqi's instructions. Go into the mountains if you're told to, close the roads if you're told to, and stay home if you're told to. If anyone disobeys and messes up, don't blame me for getting angry!"
"No, Uncle San, we will definitely obey you. Let's get started quickly!"
"That's right, hurry up and find the child. It's so cold, the child will easily freeze to death if he is trapped anywhere!"
The villagers responded loudly, and everyone was anxious.
People in the north know too well the dangers of the north. Most of the time it is not wild beasts or bad people, but snowflakes that fall at any time and winds that blow at any time that kill people invisibly!
He Shan and Hengqi had a brief discussion and quickly divided the villagers and the twenty veterans into two groups.
A small number of people will block all intersections, and most people will search the mountains. From outside the village to the city, all the mountains that can be seen on the roadside must be searched!
Because Tai Jizu drove out in a carriage, and Yonglu and Yongyue were just a few steps away, the two boys disappeared without a trace.
The most likely possibility is that they were abducted and hidden in the mountains!
Sesame Ball couldn't wait any longer. Its long fur fluttered naturally without wind, and it looked like a flag. It didn't make a sound, but it was full of anxiety and violence.
Winter is cold, and even though it was born in the grassland, it still can't stand it, so these days, it prefers to lie by the fire.
Yang Lihua didn't want it to be covered in ash, so she lit the kang in the empty room in the backyard and covered it with old bedding. Every time it had enough to eat and drink, it would lie down on it and doze off happily.
Who would have thought that its sweet dream was disturbed and the two boys were lost!
This is a bolt from the blue and an insult to my life!
