This time they did not stop and took four days to finally return to Zuoyuan County.
Chunxiao took advantage of the night rest in Zuoyuan to take Shuwen to the clothing store and bought a set of beautiful and suitable clothes for everyone in the family, including Shuwen and herself.
I went to the rouge shop and bought a set of rouge and powder for Shufeng. Like Shuwen, Shufeng is 15 years old this year, so she will definitely like these things.
"Aunt, we have already bought a lot of things for the carriage. Didn't you say you had no money?"
"Yes, I'm out of money, but how much can I spend on all this? I only bought a few dozen taels of silver. I haven't been home for several months, so I naturally have to bring more gifts when I go back."
I felt a bit tortured staying in the inn in the county town today. I couldn't fall asleep after sleeping for an hour or two.
She got up, drank a glass of water, and stood by the window for a long time before going back to sleep. As a result, she woke up late the next day. She was a little annoyed with her pig-like temper.
The carriage was moving very fast. It took them half a day to reach Sanye Town in less than two hours.
"Aunt, should we go home first or go to the farm first?"
"Let's go home first. We can go see Zhuangzi when we have time." She was so eager to go home.
Half an hour later, they entered the village and went straight to Yan Dashan's house, but found the door closed.
When the villagers saw the carriage entering the village, many of them followed. When they found out it was them, they hurriedly surrounded them.
"Chunxiao, you're back. Something happened in your family. Yan Qi was kidnapped, and your father and the others are out looking for someone else."
"What did you say?" Shuwen jumped off the carriage. "You said my brother was kidnapped?"
"Yes, not only Yan Qi, but also Wu Zhong from the village head's family. Many people in the village have helped to look for him."
"When did this happen?" Chunxiao was a little panicked.
"It's been three or four days. Yan Long and I were supposed to be there. The three of us were all at the village entrance after school when we were kidnapped by a passing carriage. Luckily, Erniu was there and saved Yan Long. Otherwise, all three of us would have been kidnapped. What a sin!"
"Where did my father and the others go to look for people?" Chunxiao walked up to the villager who was talking.
"I'm not sure about that. He's been gone for two days. By the way, your second sister-in-law is at home."
When Chunxiao heard this, she hurriedly asked Shuwen to drive to Daha's house.
Zhang was braising meat when she heard the sound of carriages and horses. She was startled and ran to the yard to call Shuduo and the others. As a result, she saw Chunxiao and the others entering the yard.
"Little sister, you're back." She cried with joy and looked at the carriage at the door. "You scared me. I thought there were thieves kidnapping children again."
Shuduo and Paner came out of the room and burst into tears when they saw Chunxiao and Shuwen.
"Auntie, Xiaoqi is gone."
"My brother has been captured!"
"Okay, don't cry." Chunxiao looked at Shuwen, who was distracted, and said, "Don't panic. Let's sort things out first, and then find someone."
Shuwen looked at her and nodded.
"Second sister-in-law, did second brother also go out to look for someone?"
Zhang nodded anxiously, "They're all out. They've been out for two days and haven't come back. I don't know where they went to look for them."
"Have you reported it to the police?"
"I reported it to the police. The next day, people from the township government came and questioned Erniu and the others, but there has been no news since then."
In three or four days, if they are human traffickers, they may not be in the county anymore.
She suppressed her emotions and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are the only one supporting the family now, but you can handle it."
"It's nothing. I have many children at home and I can't leave. I can't stop the business easily. I deliver the braised meat every day and Wangzu helps me get the goods. The farm is running normally now and the servants are in charge. It's okay. The villagers are also helping you look after your cotton field. Uncle Musheng and Uncle Shizhu have gone to help find people." Zhang said a lot in one breath.
"Second sister-in-law, you have worked hard during this period. If second brother comes back, tell him that we are going to look for the child and ask them to wait for our news."
"I, I understand. Are you leaving now?"
"Go back and put your things down and leave."
Chunxiao asked Shuwen to drive the carriage to the end of the village. There were indeed quite a few people in the fields. When they saw the carriage coming, they all gathered around.
Fang and her two daughters-in-law were there. "Chunxiao, you're back. When did you come back? Something happened to your Xiaoqi." Fang ran over, and several other people ran over.
"Aunt Fang, fellow villagers, thank you very much. I just got back, and we heard about what happened at home. I've put my things down and am about to leave. I'll thank you all again next time I come back."
"Don't say thank you, it's more important to find someone."
Everyone knew that now was not the time to reminisce, so they helped her move the things from the carriage into the house and watched them drive away.
Chunxiao took Shuwen to Cui's house first. Erniu was a little scared when he saw Chunxiao, but he still called out "Auntie Chun" tremblingly.
"Erniu, tell Aunt Chun what happened at that time."
Erniu stood there in silence. Cui nudged him twice and said, "Go ahead and tell me what you saw. Didn't we talk to the officer about it last time?"
"Auntie Chun, I didn't mean to not save Yan Qi. They ran too fast and I couldn't catch up with them after I pulled Yan Long behind." He sounded a little aggrieved, as if he was afraid of being blamed by Chun Xiao.
"Chunxiao, my Erniu was telling the truth. He fell down while chasing after the carriage and his arm was broken." Cui said as she lifted his sleeve and found a big scratch on his arm.
Chunxiao touched Erniu's head and said, "Auntie Chun doesn't blame you. Erniu was very brave and saved Yan Long. Auntie Chun just wanted to find some clues so that she can find Yan Qi."
