It was already noon when the play ended. Zhou wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "This young lady finally got her husband, but why did her health fail her and she died of illness in the end? She didn't have more than two days of good life. All the suffering she endured was in vain."
"That's right, the screenwriter is definitely not a good person. He can't stand seeing others doing well." Shufeng wiped his eyes and felt angry.
“This is so sad.”
Chunxiao looked at the group of people who were so worried about the characters in the play, and suddenly thought of Wang Baochuan's story of waiting in the cold kiln for 18 years. It was a similar story. The people below slowly began to disperse.
"Grandma, let's go too." Yang Huaitian reminded, "We still need to go shopping and buy some things. We have to meet up with Aunt Fang and the others later at Shenshi."
When Chunxiao and his friends were leaving the restaurant, they saw a group of officials running by not far away.
"I thought there were no one watching over all these people gathered here, but it turns out there are people guarding the place." Yan Dahe looked at the people running away, "It's not easy to work in the government office. Look, they still have to work during the New Year."
"With so many people here, there's going to be chaos if no one's watching." Yan Bingfa looked at the people who were gradually dispersing. "Everyone, be careful. Now is the time when people are moving around a lot."
"Grandma, why don't I go shopping with Huaitian and meet at the usual place at 5 p.m. I also have something to buy for Xiaoxue."
Zhou smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead, but remember not to be too late." She understood that young people who just got married like to stay together.
"Mom, let's go shopping too. I want to buy some fruit. There's not much fruit at home. I planted an orange tree myself, but I haven't eaten any of the oranges yet."
"It's your fault that you were away when the fruit was ripe. If you had stayed at home this year, you would have been able to eat it. We have also planted it in our farm, and your farm has planted even more. I'm sure it will bear fruit this autumn, and you can eat as much as you want then." Yan Dahe laughed beside him.
"Then let's go to the market?" Zhou looked at Dahe and his wife. "What else do you want to buy?"
"It's nothing important, just some casual stroll, Mom, let's go together."
Not long after they walked out of the restaurant, there was a sudden commotion behind them, and then many yamen runners ran past. "What's going on?" Everyone was shocked and dodged to the side.
"I don't know. Everything was fine just now. I'm afraid something went wrong somewhere." Accidents are most likely to happen in crowded places.
"Grandpa, second uncle, I'll go take a look ahead." Huai Tian looked at the people running away, followed by a group of onlookers.
"Forget it, stop running around. Let's just take care of our own people and not join in the fun." Yan Bingfa held Huai Tian back, "Let's just take care of ourselves, and you just take care of Shufeng."
A few people made their way to the market through the crowd, but soon after arriving, they heard that the town was sealed off and that entry and exit had to be checked. They were also told that there were long queues at the exit from the town.
Many people who set up stalls were panicking. They packed up their stalls and headed towards the town entrance. It was already afternoon. If those who lived far away were delayed, they would not be able to go back today. How could they stay in the town in such a cold weather? For a while, the market was bustling with people packing up their stalls.
Chunxiao and his friends had just bought some pears and were about to buy some dates, but they didn't sell any dates and had to close the stall.
"This is the New Year's Day and the town is closed. This is what's going on."
"I saw quite a few police officers on the street earlier. Something must have happened."
"Let's go, let's go quickly. If we queue up, how long will we have to wait? There are so many people here today, let's get in line quickly."
Looking at the crowds evacuating one by one, Zhou also began to panic.
"Dahe, let's hurry to the car dealership to get the car. We'll go and wait. Once everyone is here, we'll leave. I don't know what happened today. First, a child was lost in the village, and now the town is closed. It seems that things are not peaceful."
"Let's go to the car dealership. Maybe your brother is already waiting there. It's almost 3 p.m."
Zhang held her two daughters tightly, and the group walked towards the garage together. As soon as they arrived at the door of the garage, they saw Tian, Yan Qi and Hongmei looking around anxiously there, but they did not see Tian Dashan and the others.
Seeing them, they hurried over and said, "Dad, Mom, something bad has happened. Aunt Fang's Erchu is missing. Dashan and the others have gone to help look for him."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Something had gone wrong after all. If they had known something would go wrong, they would not have come today.
"Where did he go missing? Have you reported it to the police?" Yan Bingfa asked.
"It was at that time, when we were watching the play. We went early and found a good seat at the front. But after the play, we found out that the child was missing. Mrs. Fang was so worried, Dashan took them to report it to the police. It turned out that it was not just one family that reported the case that day, but several families' children had gone missing. This must have been kidnapped!"
"I heard earlier that a child was lost in the village, but I didn't expect this kidnapper to be so bold as to kidnap people in broad daylight right under people's noses." Zhou was angry.
There were many people watching the play, and everyone was engrossed in it, which gave bad guys an opportunity to take advantage.
"Dad, Mom, what should we do? We're waiting here anxiously because we're worried that you won't be able to find us. The child is lost, should we go look for her?" Tian was getting anxious, and Hongmei seemed to have been crying for a while.
Da He was undecided and looked at Yan Bingfa, "Dad, what should we do?"
"Of course we have to look for him, but..." He looked at the children, "How can we look for him with so many children by ourselves? The town was sealed off because of this incident. The kidnapper must still be in the town. Even our own children are not safe."
