Xia Yan was a gentle and virtuous person. Her words were full of charm and were soft and gentle, which made Xiao Lingling feel very comfortable.
The little head subconsciously rubbed against Xia Yan's palm, like a spoiled cat, "Auntie, you speak so sweetly."
Xia Yan was amused by her cute little appearance, "Really? Then auntie will talk to you more often in the future."
Wu Tongtong covered her mouth gently, thinking that Xiao Lingling's reaction was so funny.
As expected, her mother’s charm was so great that not only her father liked her, but even the children couldn’t escape her.
After listening to several sentences, Xiao Lingling remembered her own business and quickly took Xia Yan's hand off her head.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie. Let me check your pulse."
Xia Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie is not afraid, just take your time and watch."
She had heard Wu Bokai talk about the girl's magical powers before, so naturally she had no doubts at all.
Xiao Lingling was very careful and only felt relieved after confirming that there was improvement.
"Auntie is indeed getting better. She still needs to take the medicine, but the acupuncture will have to wait for my master to come tomorrow. I, I don't know how to do it yet, hehe."
Xia Yan was amused by her frankness. "Okay, it's okay. Auntie knows you can do it. Maybe you'll learn it in a few days."
Little Bell was praised, and she was so happy that she was bubbling with joy. She nodded frantically, "Oh, yes, yes, I am very smart. My grandma said that I am the smartest little clever ghost in the world!"
This time, even the usually gentle Xia Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, smart boy, then I'll leave your sister Tong to you. She's not as smart as you, so you should take good care of her!"
Although Wu Tongtong knew that her mother was teasing her, her face still turned red, "Mom~~~"
Wu Bokai felt extremely satisfied when he saw the lively expressions of his wife and daughter. It had been a long time since he had seen such a scene.
However, just as everyone was having fun, a voice suddenly broke their laughter.
"Sir! Something happened. Someone came to report that their child was missing last night!"
Wu Bokai's expression froze. "What did you say? Another child is lost?"
"Yes, sir, this time it's still a child around three or four years old!"
Little Bell's ears twitched, and she quickly turned her head to look over. "Sir, County Magistrate, are you saying that another child is missing?"
Wu Bokai nodded with a heavy heart, "Yes! Recently, a group of human traffickers came from nowhere and they are ruthless.
We have lost five or six children so far, and with this one, there are seven in total!
The key point is that these people were extremely cautious and did not leave any clues at all."
Little Bell's eyes lit up. Here came the opportunity to earn merit!!!
She calmed her temper and continued to ask, "Then, County Magistrate, what kind of children did you lose?"
Wu Bokai also hates human traffickers so much that he grits his teeth whenever he mentions them.
"Humph, these scumbags stole from children who were only three or four years old and couldn't remember much.
Most of them come from well-off families, and have fair and tender skin, both men and women.
This case is quite serious now. I have reported it and posted a reward board yesterday.
I didn't expect that not only did they fail to catch them, but they also lost a child. How arrogant! "
Little Bell immediately became interested and her eyes rolled around non-stop.
"Well, Auntie, just take a good rest now and don't worry too much. Master and I will come to see you tomorrow.
Sister Tong, I still have to go shopping with grandma, so I won’t stay long today. I’ll come and play with you tomorrow.
My Lord County Magistrate, I will go back first. Believe me, you will be able to catch those bad guys soon.
By the way, Mr. County Magistrate, I would like to ask, how much are the rewards you offer?"
The county magistrate patted her head and said, "Let me take you out. Yan'er, eat something and rest. I'll go take a look outside and come back to see you when I have time."
Xia Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, I have someone to take care of me. You should focus on the important things. There are so many children, we have to find a way to get them back!"
The county magistrate nodded, picked up little Bell and walked out.
Xiao Lingdang waited for someone to leave the room and patted Wu Bokai on the shoulder. "Sir, you haven't told me how much the reward is."
Wu Bokai pinched her nose and said, "Since you call my wife Auntie, why don't you call me County Magistrate? How about calling me Uncle?"
As for the reward, it was approved by the higher-ups, a total of one hundred taels. It's not a small amount of silver, but I don't know if it will be of any use."
Xiao Lingling's eyes lit up and she made a decision immediately.
"Don't worry, uncle, my words are very effective, and you will definitely be able to catch those human traffickers soon!
Here, this talisman is very effective. It was given to my grandmother by a master she met. He said it can help people achieve their dreams. Keep it, it will definitely be useful!
After saying that, Xiao Lingling raised her eyebrows at him, which was full of hints.
But Wu Bokai was worried about the human traffickers and didn't pay much attention to it. He wanted to refuse.
Little Bell was stuffed directly into his clothes, then slid out of his arms and ran out on her own.
"I'm leaving now. Uncle, remember to take a closer look!"
Xiao Lingdang ran out quickly, and just then Zhao was waiting at the door with Qiaomei.
Seeing her come out, several people quickly got in the car and rushed to Wanhe Pharmacy.
During the entire journey, Xiao Lingling was unusually quiet and seemed to be in a daze the entire time.
She wanted to catch the human traffickers and rescue the children. This would be a great merit, and she could also get a reward.
But thinking is one thing, and catching someone is another.
How could she catch them when there were so many people there? She didn't even know what the traffickers looked like.
So the best way is to take risks!
If she was caught, she would not only be able to find the human traffickers' lair directly, but also rescue the children safely.
But grandma will definitely not agree with this, so we have to do it quietly!
I hope grandma won't be angry when she finds out~~~~
Thinking in her heart, she glanced at Zhao secretly, and saw that she didn't pay attention to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Qiaomei accidentally saw her expression and felt a little curious.
When they arrived at Wanhe Pharmacy, the three of them walked in together.
Xiao Lingling gave the prescription to the medicine boy, and as expected, there were four medicinal ingredients in it that were not available here.
Xiao Lingling didn't think much about it and just asked the medicine boy to prepare half a month's supply. These alone cost nearly thirteen taels of silver.
Qiaomei's face turned pale. She never expected that these medicinal herbs would be so expensive.
She hadn't even bought everything yet, and for a moment she thought, why not just not buy anything.
But she opened her mouth, but couldn't say no.
