Yue Jiuyue could hear it even from the courtyard; the shouts were echoing all over the mountains and fields:
"Young Miss! Young Miss!"
A few sounds were also mixed in:
"Friday! Friday!"
However, after one incense stick's time, then two, there was still no response from Xiaoman'er or Zhou Wuya, which was very unusual.
Yue Jiuyue couldn't wait any longer. She didn't care about Zhou Liuya anymore, and told her to stay put and not go anywhere. Then she hurriedly went to the old house by herself.
"What's going on? We still haven't found him. Quickly send them out to search, ask the villagers for help, expand the search area, and also send a few people to search along the road leading out of the village!"
Yue Jiuyue, her voice trembling, grabbed someone and gave them instructions.
The man immediately replied:
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll go right now!"
It's better to be safe than sorry. What if someone took advantage of the busyness at home, slipped away from everyone's sight, and left with the two children?
Moreover, this person must be quite familiar with the house; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to evade everyone so easily and allow Xiaoman'er and Zhou Wuya to quietly follow along.
Seeing that most people had gone out to search, Yue Jiuyue clenched her fists and paced back and forth, her unease growing stronger. She felt that if she was even a step too slow in her search, something bad would happen to Xiaoman'er and Zhou Wuya.
Half an hour passed, and Yue Jiuyue still hadn't received a reply from anyone.
Another half hour passed, and finally someone ran in from outside the gate, panting and shouting in a hoarse voice:
"Madam! Madam! We've found them! We've found the young lady and the others!"
The man had run up to Yue Jiuyue, panting heavily as he continued to shout loudly:
"Madam! We've found them! We've found the young lady and the others!"
Actually, the voice was very soft because the other person was too tired. They had run to a very far place to find the person and then ran back from a very far place. They were really exhausted and their mouths were dry.
"Found it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Hurry up and go get some water, then hurry back to your room to rest. The reward money will be collected from Old Master Zhou after you've rested enough! It's all there! It's all there!"
Yue Jiuyue was truly grateful to these people, not only the servants in her household, but also the villagers in the village.
She could express her gratitude to the servants at home by giving them tips or money, but how should she express her gratitude to the villagers, who were also her relatives?
Yue Jiuyue couldn't think of anything yet because she hadn't seen Xiaoman'er. Her heart, which had been pounding in her chest, hadn't truly settled down. She was just a little more at ease than before.
"Thank you, Madam!"
The other party was extremely grateful and thanked them profusely before returning to their servants' quarters, where they drank water and rested.
To be honest, what happened today was the servants' fault. The eldest son's two children went missing, and none of them even noticed. This was their dereliction of duty as servants.
However, the old lady not only did not punish them, but also said she would reward them after they found the young lady and Zhou Wuya. This was clearly their job, something they should have done, and even something to make up for their mistakes.
So how fortunate they were to have met such a good master!
They had no good way to express their gratitude to such a good master, so they could only work harder and more carefully in the future to live up to such a good master and such good treatment.
