The two voices faded into the distance and soon disappeared from sight. Fu Man'er peeked out and, after confirming that they were gone, she emerged from the cornfield.
The corn leaves scratched her, causing her itching and pain. Fu Man'er, who had always been pampered by the Xu family, felt extremely uncomfortable at that moment.
She needed to find her parents quickly, arrest those three people, and give them all a good beating; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to swallow this.
At this point, everyone in the village was frantically searching. They searched the front mountain, all the hillsides, the riverbank, and all the places where the children often played.
Not a single person could be found.
Xu Genshan took the torch and headed towards the back mountain, but he hadn't searched that area yet.
Liu Fang grabbed him, "Are you crazy!" He had crippled his leg on the back mountain.

Besides, it's nighttime now, and how dangerous the back mountain is, doesn't he, as a hunter, know that?
“Genshan, they probably won’t go to the back mountain,” said Wang Erni’s father, Wang Tiezhu.
Of the children who went missing today, the oldest is Lu Sheng, and she is also the most sensible. She wouldn't lead anyone to the back mountain.
Moreover, someone clearly saw the children go to the hillside today. Xu Genshan is frantic and has nowhere else to look for them, which is why he thought of going to the back mountain.
After being persuaded by everyone, he gradually calmed down.
"In that case, those families whose children are not home should go back to their own homes and search to see if the children have returned. Search every nook and cranny."
Village chief Zhao Yongkang spoke up, "The rest of you should split into several groups and search house to house. If this person didn't go out, he must still be in the village."
With so many children in tow, even if the kidnappers wanted to run away, it wouldn't be so easy. Today, we'll turn the whole village upside down to find them.
"We're not going back, Mother. You take Yi'er and the others back. If Man'er comes back and finds no one home, she'll be worried."
Liu Fang said to Old Lady Xu, "I also wish things could be as I said."

"Mother, just listen to your sister-in-law and go back," Ma Hong also advised.
In the end, Grandma Xu couldn't resist everyone's persuasion and agreed to go back. She was worried about leaving the children at home without any adults around.
"Grandma, when is Man'er coming back?" Xu Mao asked on the way back.
"Yes, the dumplings are all wrapped. If my sister doesn't come back soon, I'll eat her dumplings and make her crave them."
Xu Wen spoke with exaggerated gestures, as if Fu Man'er were sitting right across from him.
"Come back quickly, come back quickly," Grandma Xu murmured. Their Man'er was a lucky star; good people are always protected by heaven, and she would surely be alright.
"When we get back, you guys start the fire. When Man'er comes back, we'll eat dumplings."
The children nodded repeatedly, but Xu Yi remained silent with a gloomy face.
When they arrived at the door, he didn't want to go in. "Grandma, you go in first. I'll stay at the door and keep watch. If Man'er comes, I'll be there to see her immediately."
He wanted to find Man'er; that little girl was so beautiful, what if she really fell into the hands of a conman?

They'll never see Fu Man'er again in their lifetime. He's the one who found her; they absolutely can't lose her again.
"Alright, then you watch." Grandma Xu, without suspecting anything, led her other three grandsons inside.
She had been busy all day and didn't feel tired at all, but in just a short while, Grandma Xu felt like her legs were about to give way when she got home.
I'm really getting old; I can't handle things anymore.
On the other side, Fu Man'er's legs were almost broken from running, and she dared not walk through the ground.
The corn stalks, taller than a person, stretched out in rows, and she felt as if they could swallow her whole when she passed by.
At this point, she no longer cared about being afraid; only one word was in her mind: run!
Fortunately, the path led directly to the main road in the village, and she seemed to see burning torches and hear people talking.
"Father, Mother!" Fu Man'er shouted anxiously, the wind blowing in her face choking her and making her feel painful.
She continued running and shouting, oblivious to everything else.

Xu Yi felt that he might have been too anxious and was actually hallucinating. He thought he heard Fu Man'er's voice.
Xu Yi had already walked past the intersection, but he turned back, even if it was just an auditory hallucination, he wanted to be sure.
As soon as he returned to the small intersection, he looked up and saw a narrow path that seemed to stretch on forever, with no one around.
It seems he really was hallucinating.
Xu Yi could not hide his disappointment. He lifted his leg to leave, but since it was not here, he would look for it elsewhere.
"Brother." Before he could turn around, Xu Yi clearly heard a soft voice.
Xu Yi looked over in disbelief and saw Fu Man'er struggling to climb up the embankment, looking like she was about to fall.
Man'er!
"Here, Man'er is here!" Xu Yi shouted as he ran towards Fu Man'er, not even noticing the tears welling up in his eyes.
"Man'er." Xu Yi grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up with a force.

Before she could even settle down, she said impatiently, "Wang Sanbao's family, begging for flowers."
Perhaps she had shouted too loudly just now, because her voice was a little hoarse.
People who heard Xu Yi's shouts also ran over, "Man'er, it really is Man'er."
"Man'er, where are the others?"
"Man'er, where did you all go so late at night?"
People asked all sorts of questions, and Fu Man'er didn't know where to begin.
Xu Yi picked the person up, suddenly stood up, and shouted, "Wang Sanbao's house, there are flower sellers there."
He heard everything Fu Man'er just said.
A murmur rippled through the crowd: "Are there really people taking pictures of flower girls?"
"At Wang Sanbao's house?"

"Quick, let's go to Wang Sanbao's house!" someone shouted, and the crowd that had gathered ran in another direction.
Some people also went to inform Xu Genshan and others that they had found Fu Man'er.
"Brother, you're holding me so tightly." Fu Man'er quietly loosened her arms around Xu Yi's neck, but she still managed to stay upright without falling.
Xu Yi glanced at her, said nothing, and walked forward.
"Brother, we're going to Wang Sanbao's house." Fu Man'er saw that this direction was leading home.
"Go home." Xu Yi's voice was somewhat cold, and his pace quickened instead of stopping.
Fu Man'er got anxious and put her hand on Xu Yi's shoulder, trying to break free from him. "No, we need to go to Wang Sanbao's house first. Sister Lu Sheng and the others are there."
"We have to go save them." Fu Man'er twisted her little body with all her might, trying to get down from Xu Yi's arms.
Fu Man'er had already used up most of her strength, so this was no use to Xu Yi at all.
But upon hearing the little girl's hoarse cries, he did not hesitate and turned to walk towards Wang Sanbao's house.

He understood Fu Man'er; she couldn't rest easy until she saw her good friend rescued.
"Brother, that's so nice." Fu Man'er finally smiled and put her little hands around Xu Yi's neck again.
Xu Yi actually had a lot of questions to ask her, but he couldn't bring himself to ask them.
He released one hand and gently patted Fu Man'er's back. "It's alright, everyone has made it through. They will be rescued."
I wonder if those child hunters will be enraged when they discover that Fu Man'er has run away, and thus hurt the other children.
"Yes, Sister Lusheng, Erni, and Gouwa will all be rescued."
Fu Man'er, who was being patted on the back, was like a little kitten, resting her head on Xu Yi's shoulder without exerting any strength.
Just as Xu Yi had expected, when Liu Zi brought Lu Sheng back into the house, he discovered that Fu Man'er was missing.
At first, he thought the little girl had run off to hide somewhere, so he opened all the doors of Wang Sanbao's house and searched everywhere, but he couldn't find her.
It was only then that he realized the girl had run away.

"You're lying to me!" Liu Zi's eyes turned fierce.
No wonder she suddenly said she had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet; it turned out she was trying to get him out of the way.
"What?" Lu Sheng feigned ignorance. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Even if you're lying to him, you can't admit it now, otherwise who knows if it will provoke him.
"You dare to lie to me? You're asking for death!" Liu Zi was both angry and panicked, and kicked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng didn't have the strength to dodge at all and was kicked away by Liu Zi, his leg even hitting the pile of firewood.
That kick landed squarely on her stomach. Lu Sheng felt her stomach churning and her legs felt like they were about to break.
Liu Zi felt that kicking once wasn't enough to vent his anger, and was about to go and fight when there was a knock on the door.
