"Aunt, you have to relax now. The township government is going to investigate today. We will stay in the inn and wait for news. If it doesn't work, we can go back to the inn and
Go out and look for it yourself." The government can search the house, but they can't, so if the government can't find it, their hope will be even smaller.
Chunxiao prayed in her heart, hoping that the children could be found today.
Half an hour later, Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe arrived, and with them came several officials and a group of people. The moment they entered the house, Chunxiao and the others were startled, "Brother, this, this..."
The Fang family members were so frightened that they hid aside.
"Little sister, they, they said they want to ask you for help."
"Miss Yan," a leading officer said to her, "We've reviewed the portraits you sent us. They're very well drawn. I thought you recognized all the children, but they said you drew them based on their families' accounts. We've lost six children, and we don't know the faces of three more. I'd like you to help draw their portraits as well." He gestured to the people nearby. "Their parents are here with them."
The room was full of parents of missing children, and everyone had a sad expression on their face.
Chunxiao couldn't come up with a reason to refuse. She had no choice but to ask them to describe their characteristics one by one and make detailed revisions. It was already twilight hour when the portraits of several people were finished. The officers and soldiers took the portraits and left.
The inn was now packed, and the innkeeper, knowing that today was a special day, had asked many people who had nowhere else to go to stay in the lobby. The couples, not wanting to disturb them, also went to the lobby.
The food took half an hour to arrive, and by the time it was served, it was already dark. "I'm sorry, gentlemen, there are so many people here today that we kept you waiting for so long. The shopkeeper said this soup is compensation."
After the waiter left, everyone gathered around the table to eat.
The two Fangs said they were not hungry, but in fact they couldn't eat because they couldn't find their child.
"Aunt Fang, Sister Fang, you have to take care of yourselves. Didn't you agree to listen to me? If you really can't eat, then drink a bowl of this loofah and egg soup." They are now the same as Tian and Zhou at that time. If their spirits are broken, their bodies will naturally break down.
Fang was a bit stronger than Xiao Fang. She took the bowl from Chun Xiao and scooped a spoonful of soup in front of Xiao Fang. "Drink it, even if you can't finish it. Just think of it as a reward for the second performance."
When it came to the second act, Xiao Fang started crying and shaking her head, "It's all my fault that I didn't hold him tightly. I don't know if he's hungry right now. If I can't find him, Shitou will hate me to death."
"Sister Fang, don't think too much. Don't always think that the child can't be found. I just heard an order from the township outside. People in the town must stay in their own places and are not allowed to move around. The government office has already started investigating." Although Yan Dahe sympathized with them, he couldn't stand women crying all the time. Why didn't they learn from Chunxiao? He had rarely seen Chunxiao cry.
The meal was tasteless, and they went back to their rooms after the meal.
