Zhou Yuanyuan understood what Zhao Xia said.
Little Zhao Xia and Zhao Yu had just learned to walk and loved running around on their short legs. Children don't have great coordination, so falling is a common occurrence. They're just kids! If they get hurt, they'll definitely cry. Whenever Yu Meiru is at home, she always encourages the children to stand up on their own. Once they're up, she hugs them, comforts them, blows on the hurt area, and coaxes them, "Hoohoo, the pain's gone."
It seems that Zhao Xia wanted to rush to Yu Meiru's side because she thought Yu Meiru was crying so sadly and must have been hurt from falling!
At this time, the two police officers had finished asking the questions they wanted to ask. Xu Yuanzhi and Zhao Qingshan said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we will inform you as soon as there is any new development."
Zhao Qingshan nodded solemnly, feeling very upset. If he hadn't answered that call that morning, maybe Zhao Yu wouldn't have sneaked away. However, it had already happened, and there was no point in regretting it.
Seeing that Zhao Qingshan was full of worries, Xu Zhiyuan quickly took Geng Xiaoliang and said goodbye.
If he stayed any longer, Xu Yuanzhi was afraid that Zhao Qingshan would notice Geng Xiaoliang's misconduct. Geng Xiaoliang had been staring at Zhao Lao's granddaughter since she entered the house. Xu Zhiyuan shook his head inwardly. How could a petty policeman like Geng Xiaoliang dream of General Zhou's great-granddaughter?
Geng Xiaoliang followed Xu Yuanzhi, looking back every few steps. He really wanted to say something to Zhou Yuanyuan, but unfortunately Old Xu wouldn't let him.
Zhao Qingshan escorted the two police officers to the door and nodded to the crowd outside as a greeting. Then, Zhao Qingshan turned around and closed the gate. After such a major incident, the Zhao family was exhausted. Although he knew everyone had good intentions, Zhao Qingshan was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with the people outside.
"Grandpa, what's going on?" Zhou Yuanyuan finally had the chance to ask the question in her heart.
"Xiaoyu ran out to play alone this morning and disappeared." Zhao Qingshan sighed and said.
If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't come today, Zhao Qingshan was planning to wait until the police left and then call her to come. Before the police arrived, Zhao Qingshan had guessed that a two-year-old child who had disappeared inexplicably at the doorstep was most likely taken away by someone.
Zhao Qingshan thought that Zhou Yuanyuan was a cultivator after all, and perhaps she had some special means to track down Zhao Yu. He was a little worried about relying solely on the police to investigate.
"Grandpa, don't worry, let me think about it," Zhou Yuanyuan said to Zhao Qingshan to comfort him. Actually, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know if there were any tracking spells. Over the years, under Xiaoyu's guidance, Zhou Yuanyuan had practiced all the time and had never come into contact with some spells that Xiaoyu thought were not often used.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu." Zhou Yuanyuan frowned, seemingly lost in thought. In reality, she was calling out to Xiaoyu from within her consciousness. She always consulted Xiaoyu before making a decision on matters she didn't understand. However, this time, she was determined to let Xiaoyu figure out a solution to this emergency, no matter what.
That little guy, Zhao Yu, was the apple of Zhou Yuanyuan's eye and the Zhao family's eye. If he really couldn't be found, not only would Yu Meiru be heartbroken, but Zhou Yuanyuan's heart would ache as well.
"Master, I'm sorry, I fell asleep." After Xiaoyu finished preparing the two jade talismans, she had depleted a significant portion of her spiritual energy, so much so that she fell asleep during her practice. Xiaoyu was a jade spirit, and the best way to cultivate was through sleep. While asleep, Xiaoyu could also follow Zhou Yuanyuan's practice and absorb external spiritual energy. However, Xiaoyu was obsessed with the small cracks in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness, and she wouldn't let herself fall asleep until they were completely repaired.
"Xiaoyu, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yuanyuan felt embarrassed when she heard Xiaoyu's tired voice. If there was no other way, Zhou Yuanyuan really didn't want to disturb Xiaoyu.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu will recover in a few days, master, don't worry." Xiaoyu woke up a little, and quickly puffed out her chest to show that it was okay. Although Xiaoyu was still a ball of white air, in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness, Xiaoyu had always existed in the form of a kitten over the years. Perhaps in Xiaoyu's subconscious mind, she discovered that Zhou Yuanyuan particularly liked her in the form of a kitten.
"Xiaoyu, Zhao Yu... Oh, my little cousin is missing. The police said he might have been taken away by someone. Do you have any way to find Zhao Yu's whereabouts?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked Xiaoyu cautiously. You know, Xiaoyu is a guy whose most stingy thing is that there are people with the same name as him. Zhou Yuanyuan restrained herself from calling Zhao Yu by his nickname, for fear of offending Xiaoyu's taboo. Saving people is like putting out a fire. It would be bad if it irritated Xiaoyu and he gave up.
"Oh, it's that little kid!" Xiaoyu stuck her butt out and searched in her sea of consciousness for a while, and finally found a book called "Basic Cultivation Techniques". After Xiaoyu cast a spell on it, all the spells in the book appeared in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness.
"The Secret of Unity"? "A Thread of Connection"? "The Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique"? "The Dream of the Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies"? What the hell was all this? Zhou Yuanyuan was dazzled.
"Master, the Heart of Oneness and Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream are both interactive spells between couples. The Thread of Connection is more complex to practice. Xiaoyu suggests you learn the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique! Simply find a piece of clothing belonging to that little Zhao Yu, and you'll be able to release a tracking talisman and track his whereabouts," Xiaoyu explained dutifully. Of course, Xiaoyu had her own thoughts. If Zhou Yuanyuan were to choose on her own and learn every spell, not only would she waste her training time, she might even miss the perfect opportunity to find Zhao Yu. You should know that the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique has a range limit; beyond a thousand kilometers, the tracker loses contact.
Huh? This thousand-mile tracking technique even uses Zhao Yu's clothes? Why does it look so much like a police dog tracking by scent? Zhou Yuanyuan sweatdropped.
However, for Zhao Yu, a police dog is a police dog! Zhou Yuanyuan didn't care that much.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhao Qingshan could say anything, Zhao Xia, who was in Zhou Yuanyuan's arms, couldn't stand it anymore. She kicked and tried to get to the ground, shouting, "Sister, brother, uncle, hold me, run."
Uncle? Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned.
The Zhao family currently includes Zhao Xia's grandfather (Zhao Qingshan), father (Zhao Guohui), mother (Yu Meiru), brother (the three Zhao brothers plus Zhou Jiasheng), sister (Zhou Yuanyuan), and aunt (nanny Liu Jie and Aunt Wang), but there's no uncle Zhao Xia mentioned. Could it be that Zhao Xia saw someone take Zhao Yu away? This is a huge clue!
