"I'll talk to Wuzi first!" Ma Wan turned around and went to find Zhang Hewu. He felt that saying this to a pregnant woman would scare her.
But Su Ying became even more worried, and quickly got up and followed: "Did something happen to Rongya? Tell me quickly, I will be even more anxious if you don't tell me."
At this moment, Zhang Hewu, who was watering the vegetables, heard the voice coming back from the backyard: "What's wrong? Why are you here, Lao Ma?"
Ma Wan quickly said, "Ms. Zhang called back and said she received a letter saying that Shi Tou had been captured!"
"What?" Su Ying was really frightened and almost fell down. Fortunately, Zhang Hewu was quick to come up and support her.
Zhang Hewu simply picked her up and put her back in the house, saying, "We don't know what's going on with Yingzi yet, so don't worry. Wait at home while we go find the stone."
"No, I want to go too." If the stone really disappeared, how could she sit still?
Zhang Hewu stopped her: "Yingzi, it's enough for us to act separately. If we can't find the villagers, we can ask them to help us look for you together. You are pregnant now, and we can't search for you without you."
Su Ying was finally convinced and nodded: "Okay, then you guys go quickly, I'll be at home."
Zhang Hewu then hurried out. Ma Wan had already told Zhang Hewan about this. Zhang Hewan was not in the mood to cook, so he left it alone for the time being. The three of them quickly split up to look for someone.
At this time, after school, the children in the village also planned to go back to the village quickly and look for Shitou. After they went home for lunch at noon, they had not seen Shitou, nor had they seen him in class. They didn't know why Shitou didn't come to class.
The group met halfway.
"Brother Wuzi, Brother Wuzi, the one in front is Brother Wuzi!" A group of friends saw Zhang Hewu and others from afar, waved and ran over.
Zhang Hewu had obviously seen the village children as well. He hurried over and secretly looked around. When he didn't see the stone, his heart sank. "Xiaoshan, did you see the stone?"
Luo Wangshan shook his head and said, "No, we didn't see it. We were just about to go home and look for stones!"
"Shi Tou hasn't come to class all afternoon!"
"We thought Shitou was sleeping in at home, and we all wanted to go back and find him!"
The children chattered, eager to go back and look for Shitou. They hadn't realized Shitou was missing, nor the severity of the situation. But when Zhang Hewu and the other two heard Shitou hadn't been seen all afternoon, their faces suddenly darkened. This had never happened before; there was no way Shitou would skip class!
Shitou likes reading, and he listens to Rongya very much. He believes that reading is useful, so he studies more seriously than anyone else. How could he possibly skip classes?
"Tell me more about the situation. When did Shitou start missing? Did you leave school together at noon?" Zhang Hewu asked again. The more details the better. In their town, each production brigade had its own elementary school. The children from the production brigade went to school every day, went home for lunch, and then went to class on time.
Almost every brigade was like this, with their primary school located within their own brigade. This made the distance relatively short and convenient for commuting. However, the situation was different for the middle school. The entire town had only one middle school, and that was right there in the town. Some brigades were far from the town, so students had to bring their own lunch. This was different from the situation for the primary school.
