There was no surveillance in the countryside, so he couldn't find any even if he wanted to investigate.
He went door to door in the village to ask if anyone had seen his rhubarb.
Unfortunately, no one said they saw it.
He, his family and fellow villagers also searched the nearby not-too-deep forests and fields.
However, the final result was nothing.
Dahuang seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Although the villagers were sympathetic to his family's plight, they searched everywhere nearby but still couldn't find Dahuang. In this case, Dahuang might have either run into the deep mountains and forests, or been stolen by someone.
There are many deep mountains and old forests in their hometown, and there are dangers lurking in the depths, including some wild beasts.
Dahuang is so docile and has such thick meat. I wonder if he can survive if he falls into the mouths of the wild beasts in the mountains.
As for being stolen, the consequences would be even more miserable.
The most likely scenario is that he was dragged to the slaughterhouse, and the better scenario is that he was stolen and taken back to the farmland.
But no matter which of the above speculations is true, Xie Dachuan is unwilling to accept it.
He didn't believe that such a clever dog would run to the mountains for no reason, nor did he believe that when Dahuang was stolen, he didn't resist or howl to make a noise to remind him.
Dahuang is a sacred cow, how could it be stolen so easily!
There were also some who were more cautious and said that Dahuang might have gone out for a stroll on his own, and asked Xie Dachuan to wait, thinking that Dahuang might come back tomorrow.
But Xie Dachuan couldn't wait any longer!
He just wanted to find Dahuang immediately and make sure it was safe.
But there is really no clue to find Da Huang.
Finally, he thought of asking a master for help to see if he could find Dahuang.
Then I found Lin Xi.
Hearing what Xie Dachuan said, Dahuang's disappearance was indeed a bit strange.
She glanced at Xie Dachuan and asked, "Do you have anything related to Dahuang on you?"
Xie Dachuan was stunned, then shook his head.
He didn't know he had to bring these things.
He said anxiously, "Can I go back and get it now? I'll send it to you soon!"
Lin Xi thought about it and said, "Forget it, I'll spend the day with you."
It’s a good opportunity to visit Dahuang’s cowshed.
After all, there is no smell that is heavier than the smell of the cowshed where Dahuang lives.
Lin Xi was willing to go over and check it out in person, so Xie Dachuan naturally couldn't ask for more.
He was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he could only thank Lin Xi repeatedly.
When we arrived at Xie Dachuan's house, it was already completely dark.
At this moment, less than seven hours had passed since Dahuang disappeared.
After arriving home, Xie Dachuan immediately took Lin Xi to Dahuang's cowshed.
Knowing that Dahuang was not an ordinary cow, and that it had saved him before, Xie Dachuan was very attentive when arranging Dahuang's cowshed.
He did not simply build a shed for the cow to live in like other families in the village. Instead, he built a brick house for Dahuang. He kept the house clean, changed the water and grass several times a day, and handled the cow dung very diligently.
As soon as you walk into the cowshed, you can smell no bad smell in the entire cowshed.
Lin Xi took a quick look around and then took out the familiar paper crane.
After the paper crane confirmed Dahuang's scent, it flew away.
All that’s left now is to wait.
No matter whether Da Huang is alive or dead, as long as its scent is still there, we can find it.
After briefly explaining the situation to Xie Dachuan, Xie Dachuan came to the door, looking eagerly at the direction where the paper crane disappeared, and at the same time hoping in his heart that the paper crane must come back as soon as possible.
Maybe his prayers worked, but less than three minutes after the paper crane flew out, it suddenly flew back.
Xie Dachuan thought he was hallucinating, because he really didn't expect the paper crane to come back so soon.
He pointed at the paper crane excitedly.
"Master, is that the paper crane that just flew out of the cave?"
Lin Xi sensed the paper crane before him and nodded when he heard it.
"Yes, let's go, the paper crane has been discovered."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the paper crane.
When Xie Dachuan heard this, he hurried to catch up with Lin Xi.
Led by the paper crane, Lin Xi and Xie Dachuan moved forward and finally arrived at the door of an abandoned old house in the village.
The abandoned old house is located in the most remote part of the village, and usually few people pass by.
The owner of the house was a bachelor and had no descendants.
So after he passed away, the house became empty, and since no one repaired it, it eventually became dilapidated.
Later, one family in the village had a firewood room that was too small to store so much firewood, so they piled their firewood here.
Now almost the entire house is filled with firewood. Looking in from the outside, you can't see anything except the firewood.
When Xie Dachuan was looking for Dahuang during the day, he also passed by this dilapidated house.
But because he knew that the house was full of firewood and he didn't hear Dahuang's cry, he didn't go into the broken house to take a look.
To be more precise, he never suspected that Da Huang would be in this shabby hut.
At this moment, seeing the paper crane stopped in front of the broken house, Xie Dachuan was surprised and puzzled.
Is the rhubarb really in here?
But the house is full of firewood.
Even now, the door of the house is full of firewood, and there is no way to get in.
Although Dahuang is intelligent, it has no hands. How could it move the firewood away and go in by itself, and restore the pile of firewood at the door to its original state?
Unless, someone helps it?
Or maybe someone got it into the cave!
When he thought of this, Xie Dachuan's expression suddenly changed.
Lin Xi felt around and confirmed that there was indeed something inside the dilapidated house, and the scent was the same as Dahuang's.
Rhubarb is indeed inside.
Without her instructions, Xie Dachuan moved the firewood at the door as quickly as possible.
What surprised him was that there were only two places in the whole house where firewood was piled up: the door and the windows, creating the illusion that the entire house was filled with firewood when viewed from the outside.
In fact, the back half of the house is empty!
And in that empty space, his big yellow dog was lying!
After seeing Da Huang's current situation, Xie Dachuan's eyes almost burst into tears, and his anger was instantly ignited.
I saw that Dahuang's limbs were tied up with ropes and his mouth was wrapped with thick tape!
The person who tied it up seemed to be worried that it would escape or make a noise, so he used extra ropes to secure it to the ground, preventing it from even struggling.
