“Your daughters are in my hands. If you want them to be safe, go to the City God Temple in the east of the city alone at 3:45 PM tonight. If you dare to bring anyone with you, Er Ya and San Ya will be gone forever.”
When Yang Cui saw this note, her mind went completely blank!
Yang Cui immediately ran to look for her, shouting as she went, "Er Ya! San Ya!"
"Er Ya, San Ya!"
"Auntie, have you seen my Erya and Sanya?"
"Auntie, have you seen my Erya and Sanya?"
...
She asked several people, but they all shook their heads, making Yang Cui extremely anxious.
Yang Cui searched all over Zhou'an Village, but couldn't find the person!
Yang Cui's heart was pounding!
I'm about to cry!
"Xiao Cui, what happened?" Just as she was at a loss, Cen Xiao appeared.
"Something happened to Er Ya and San Ya. Someone sent a child to deliver a letter. Inside the letter were their hair ornaments and a letter."
Yang Cui told Cen Xiao about it and showed him the letter.
After reading the letter, Cen Xiao felt his anger surge to the top of his head. Sending Yang Cui, a woman, alone to the City God Temple in the middle of the night, his purpose was self-evident.
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Cen Xiao reassured Yang Cui, then immediately called Dao Ba and asked him to go back to Anjia Village to check. He wanted to confirm whether Er Ya and San Ya had returned, and also to keep an eye on Yuan Qiu, lest the two girls not be found and Yuan Qiu get into trouble again.
“Er Ya, San Ya, and Qiu Qiu are not people who can be easily fooled by strangers. Something must have happened to them.”
Yang Cui often teaches her three children about preventing abduction and fraud at home, so they are much more aware of this than other children.
"Don't worry, Er Ya and San Ya will be fine for now. Let's go ask around in the village and see if anyone has seen Er Ya and San Ya with strangers. Maybe they will see something."
Hearing Cen Xiao's voice, Yang Cui didn't know why, but she felt exceptionally at ease.
Afterwards, Yang Cui, Cen Xiao, and Dao San asked the villagers if anyone had seen Er Ya and San Ya.
The villagers' answers were surprisingly consistent: they all said they had seen him today, but hadn't paid much attention to him; their eyes were on the people who had come to fetch the bride.
"Let's go to Lin'an Village and take another look. They're after me, and the Lin family is the ones I have a grudge against!"
After saying that, Yang Cui walked quickly towards Lin'an Village.
Today was a lively day with a celebration in the village, and people were coming and going. Strangers would never choose such a day to forcibly take Er Ya and San Ya away. Moreover, if Er Ya and San Ya were not acting voluntarily, they would definitely shout loudly. But no one heard any noise. The more Yang Cui thought about it, the more she felt that it was someone she knew who committed the crime!
The suspicion against the Lin family has become even stronger!
Yang Cui angrily prepared to go find the two clan elders, Fan and Lin.
Cen Xiao stopped him: "Don't be impulsive. Go to Lin'an Village and ask around. Even if no one saw them, let's find the elders of the Lin clan, the Fan clan, and the Lin Niu clan privately."
In fact, Cen Xiao did not think that the Lin family would kidnap Er Ya and San Ya at this time.
Yang Cui entered Lin'an Village and shouted "Er Ya, San Ya" loudly, but still received no response.
When Yang Cui entered Lin'an Village, the Lin clan members avoided her like the plague, as if she were a cat seeing a mouse.
Yang Cui tried to find someone to ask, but couldn't.
“I saw them and her cousin heading towards the back of the mountain.”
Just as Yang Cui was feeling down, Lin Zhongqiang's youngest daughter, Lin Xiuzhu, ran over and said something to her.
"Cousin? Which cousin is she?"
"It's her aunt's daughter, the one with slits in her eyes!"
A slit in the eye? That's Lin Lizhi's daughter—Pu Xiangjuan!
Why would Er Ya and San Ya be with her?
"When did you see it?" Cen Xiao asked.
"That's when you start dividing the food."
The custom at this banquet is that when the dishes are served, a representative from each table first distributes the food equally to each guest. Only after this is done do people begin to eat, and everyone eats the food they were assigned. Each table seats ten people, excluding children. Generally, apart from close relatives, ordinary neighbors and friends don't bring children to these banquets; this is a local custom.
Yang Cui brought her child, but the child couldn't eat with them, otherwise people would think they were trying to take advantage of her. So, when Yang Cui was eating, the two of them didn't join her.
Almost two hours have passed since the dishes were served.
Yang Cui felt that Lin Xiuzhu was not lying, and she became even more certain that the Lin family was behind it. However, if it was them, it meant that Er Ya and San Ya would not be in any danger. After all, Er Ya and San Ya still had Lin family blood in their veins. Even if she didn't like these two girls, the Lin family would not want to kill them!
Their only goal is probably to ruin themselves tonight!
Thinking of this, Yang Cui and Cen Xiao ran towards the back mountain, but after searching around, they couldn't find anyone.
At this moment, Dao Ba also came to report that the two children had not returned to Anjia Village either.
"They must have already hidden the person. They won't release them unless they kill me tonight." Yang Cui clenched her fists, her face full of coldness.
Cen Xiao's face was also frosty as he said, "According to what that little girl said, their cousin might be the last person to see them. Let's go find this 'cousin' first."
Lin Xiuzhu said that the two children were with Pu Xiangjuan, so it is very likely that Pu Xiangjuan will end up with Er Ya and San Ya. Therefore, finding Pu Xiangjuan is the key.
Yang Cui immediately ran to find Fan Shi: "Where is Pu Xiangjuan?"
When Fan saw Yang Cui, it was like enemies meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred!
"What are you doing in my house? Get out of here! You're not welcome in the Lin family!"
"Tell me, where is Pu Xiangjuan?" Yang Cui demanded sharply!
