Chapter 157 Abducted
Tomorrow is the day when the Sang family hires people to go over the garden. Yu Shi and Yue Niang, who had been in the city for nearly two days, had to pack up and prepare to go home in the afternoon.
It happened that this day was Huan'er and Xiaoshan Xunyou. Yu planned to take their brothers to the street and buy them some delicious food to nourish their bodies. It was not good to stay at home and study!
Xiaoshan has always loved to play, but he didn't dare to run around without an adult. He has been in the county town for almost a month, so he is familiar with the streets in front and behind the house.
This time, the opportunity is rare, and he is still with his mother. Even if his studies have not been completed, he can't resist the temptation and immediately nodded and agreed.
Huan'er's homework was completed, but he wanted to warm up his books and mark out the things he didn't understand, so that he could ask his husband to understand when he was in school tomorrow. As a result, he couldn't stand the little brother's entanglement, so he had no choice but to put down the book and go out.
It was Yue Niang who came to the county town for the first time. She naturally wanted to go out for a while and when she got back, she could tell her elder sister and the others what was new in the city. So Yu asked her and followed the two little guys who had already run out.
Mu thought of her youngest son who was still in the exam, and she had no intention of going shopping, so she only asked her daughter-in-law to take the children. She stayed at home to wash and wash and clean up the inside and outside the house.
Yu advised him a few times, but when he saw that his mother-in-law really didn't want to go, she stopped forcing her. She just went back to the house to change into the most decent clothes, and happily took the children shopping with the little money she had saved.
Yunlai County, where the sun just rose, is very lively. The most prosperous street is full of crowds. On both sides of the road are open to business. Next to the shop doors, there are small stalls and vendors that can’t be seen at a glance.
These small vendors sell a lot of things, including those who sell needles and thread, wooden toys, and buns and snacks. In short, everything they have never seen before. Yu and others were dazzled. Even Huan'er, who had never liked to join in the fun, was attracted by a group of juggling people and threw out the only penny he had.
Xiaoshan is different. He sees everything strangely and finds it fun to see everything. Fortunately, he knows that home is not easy, so he sees that he won’t really ask his mother to buy it.
In this way, Xiaoshan and Huan'er could not play together. Huan'er continued to stay where to watch the juggling, and Xiaoshan ran away elsewhere.
Yu's arm was still injured and could not walk in the crowded crowd, so he would not squeeze his arm off, so he stayed there and looked at Huan'er, while Yue Niang followed the hill and met at the intersection at noon.
The juggling was very exciting, and more and more people were watching. Gradually, Huan'er was squeezed from the front to the middle and was soon squeezed out to the outside. He couldn't squeeze in and didn't like to squeeze, so he had to stand outside blankly and go back with his aunt when the juggling was over.
Yu was big and strong, and there were women around him. When the women saw her arm hanging around her neck, they didn't dare to squeeze her hard, otherwise they would have to pay for money after they squeezed out of the house. This made Yu very happy and didn't notice that there was no nephew around him.
When the juggling group finished the performance, they began to pack up their things and move to the place. The crowd gradually dissipated. Yu, who was still unsatisfied, looked around for his little nephew.
As a result, the crowd was about to disperse, and she couldn't find her little nephew. At this time, Yu finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed the people around her and asked, "Have you seen a child who is five or six years old and looks fair and pure?"
There were many kids watching juggling, most of whom grew up in the city, and they were all clean and innocent. The man didn't know which one Yu was asking. He didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, so he shook his head and ran away immediately.
Yu refused to give up and asked several people one after another, but they didn't get the answer they wanted.
Until I asked a small vendor nearby, the vendor had an impression of Yu Shi, who was hanging his arm around his neck, pointed to the place where Huan'er was standing just now and said, "The child stood there for a long time, but then he didn't see it anymore. I thought he had squeezed in again."
Another small vendor next to him also echoed: "I saw it too. He was still there before a cup of tea. Later, I was busy greeting the guests and didn't pay attention. Maybe your nephew is going to play elsewhere. You can go to search elsewhere. It probably won't be possible.
Go too far."
"Okay, okay, thank you two guys. I'll thank you when I find me, thank you both." When Yu, who had no idea, heard it, he quickly responded to the vendor's words. After thanking him, he hurried to find someone.
In the blink of an eye, Yu ran away. The vendor who spoke first shook his head: "These people are really, you should watch it when you take the children out to play. Now that the child is gone, you will know that they are anxious."
Another small vendor smiled and said, "I heard that this woman should have come from the countryside. The countryside is different from our city. I'm afraid I haven't seen so many people before, so I got separated after being careless."
The leading vendor curled his lips: "This is a matter of losing children, how many times will happen in this year? Fortunately, our city is in charge of strict management and has not taken pictures of the harmful things that harm people, otherwise the lonely children will suffer."
"Who said no? The Fang family is also powerful. A few years ago, they lost a child and were stolen by human traffickers. The Fang family blocked the city gate and did not allow anyone to enter or exit. The traffickers obediently handed over the child. In the end, all the traffickers were arrested and sentenced to death. In the future, no traffickers dared to come here to act wildly."
""
The two small vendors were talking and talking, and the other family was full of respect. As for the missing child, they thought that as long as it was lost in the county town, they could find it sooner or later, and there was nothing to worry about.
"Huan'er, where are you, Huan'er? If you hear it, just reply to your aunt."
Yu, who had already walked away, shouted Huan'er's name loudly, but did not hear the words of the two vendors. Even if she heard her, she could not feel relieved.
The little nephew is not the youngest son, so he will never run around. Now that she has disappeared, she suspects that the bad guy has taken it away.
But she had a trace of hope in her heart, thinking that her nephew had really been taken away by the bad guy. The man couldn't walk far in just one cup of tea. She might find her along the street.
However, reality gave her a big mouth, and she chased her from the middle of the street to the street without finding it. She found another street from this street, but there was still no trace of Huan'er.
"Huan'er, where are you? Where are you? Woo woo?"
The uneasiness in her heart became increasingly bigger, like a big stone pressing on it, making Yu almost breathless. When she thought that her nephew had lost it in her hand, she might not be able to find it back. Her worries about her nephew and her guilt for her sister-in-law finally defeated her, making her not care about the people coming and going on the streets, and squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
The missing Huan'er did not come out. Yue Niang, who was playing in front of Xiaoshan, heard the voice of her sister-in-law. She hurriedly pulled Xiaoshan, who was still interested, and followed the direction of the sound. She saw her sister-in-law standing alone in the middle of the street and crying. There was no trace of her little nephew by her side.
In the yard of Sang's family, Sang Ye suddenly heard his son's missing Sang Ye's body softened and he staggered back two steps. If it weren't for the large tank behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.
At this moment, she looked at the little sister kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. After a while, she found her voice, calming down like she couldn't believe it: "When did Huan'er disappear? Where did she disappear?"
Yue Niang didn't dare to hide it, and immediately told the matter as it was, then cried: "We searched the streets but couldn't find Huan'er. We were worried that Huan'er would be taken away by Huanzi, so we went to the yamen to report to the officials. The official inside said that there was no Huanzi in the city, so we bombed us out and were unwilling to send someone to help find it."
Speaking of this, Yue Niang cried even more violently. If the eldest sister-in-law suggested going out to play and she did not agree to persuade the person, the little nephew would not have lost it.
It has been almost three hours since my nephew was lost. If she was taken away by Huazi, she would probably be taken out of the city now and I don’t know where to go. The sea of people is vast, where to go!
Sang Ye had no time to comfort his sister, so he rushed into the room with his soft legs and took out all the money hidden in the box. He couldn't even wait for his father and brother who were busy in the field to rush out of the house directly.
Liu, who came back from picking vegetables from the vegetable garden, bumped into Sang Ye and was about to ask her sister-in-law where she was going, but she saw that her sister-in-law didn't notice that she closed her mouth again.
Just as he was about to step into the yard, Liu followed him
Yue Niang, who was chasing out in a hurry, collided with each other and fell to the ground with a "Ouch".
Yue Niang didn't care about the pain, so she quickly got up and wanted to continue chasing her. As a result, she was caught by Liu, who was holding her waist: "Yue Niang, are you back? What's your elder sister doing? Why?"
Halfway through the conversation, Liu saw that Yue Niang's eyes were red and swollen, and there was only a slit left. The tears on her face did not dry out. She immediately became nervous: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this?"
It would be fine if I didn't ask, but Yue Niang cried even harder when she asked. Finally, amid Liu's anxious inquiries, she told Huan'er's disappearance intermittently.
After hearing this, Liu was frightened and did not bother to chase his sister-in-law who had already run away. He turned around and ran to the field quickly, telling his father-in-law and husband and uncle about this matter.
When Mangshu learned that his wife had lost her nephew, she was anxious and angry and scolded Yu. After cursing, he didn't even change his dirty and torn clothes on his body, threw away his hoe and ran towards the road leading to the county town.
Sang Lin was also worried about his little nephew, but he knew it would be difficult to find someone by his family alone, so he told Liu to take good care of his old father and family, and ran to the village chief's house by himself, asking the village chief to summon people to go to the city to find someone.
It was a big deal to lose the child. Village Chief Li took the gong and rang it in the village without saying a word. Hearing the urgent gong, no matter whether there was anything in his hand, the villagers rushed to the village chief's house.
When he learned that the Sang family's nephew was missing, Village Chief Li summoned people to the city to help find people. People who had acquainted with the Sang family or had acquainted with the Sang Shusanglin brothers stood up and agreed to help the Sang family find children in the city.
There were many people standing up, with a total of forty or fifty. Sang Lin was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He bowed deeply to everyone with red eyes, and then took these people straight to Yunlai County.
Mangshu ran fast, and soon after, he caught up with Mang Ye who had gone out first. Even though he felt guilty towards his sister and his missing nephew, Mangshu knew that it was not the time to say this now, and followed her sister silently and ran towards the town.
When they arrived in the town, Mang Yehua rented a carriage for a lot of money. The brother and sister sat in the galloping carriage and looked at each other speechlessly. One was shameless and the other was in the mood to say it.
It was not until an hour later that the carriage ran into the city and came to the rented house. When they saw Mu, who was circling anxiously at the door, Yu and Xiaoshan, who were still crying, that the brother and sister said the first words they said when they came.
Without seeing her son, Sang Ye's last glimmer of hope was shattered. She resisted her complaints to her sister-in-law, and held back the slander's reproach, and said to Sang Shu: "Brother, continue to go to the yamen to beat the drums. Even if you can't let the yamen take action, they must block the city gate and carry it out of the Fang family if necessary."
At this time, she no longer cared about whether she would offend the Fang family if she did this. On the way she came, she suspected that Brother Zheng had failed to get things done, so the Fang family tied up her son to threaten her.
Later, after thinking about it, I gave up this idea. With the power of the Fang family, she could achieve her goal by slight threatening her, and there was no need to use such despicable means at all.
"Okay, brother, let's go now." Sang Shu responded without saying a word, forgetting that he was a commoner and was most afraid of dealing with the government.
As soon as Mangshu left, Sangye said to Mu again: "Mom, my sister-in-law and I go out to find Huan'er. You will take Xiaoshan here to wait for news and don't go anywhere. When your father and second brother come, you will ask them to go to the city gate to watch. In short, you cannot let the evil people take Huan'er out of the city."
It has been more than four hours since Huan'er was abducted. She was not sure whether the kidnapper had taken Huan'er out of the city, so she could only go to the Fang family to find Gu Huan'er for help to see if Gu Huan'er could find out about Huan'er's whereabouts.
The longer the time goes on, the more dangerous it becomes. Once you run farther to a place that cannot be reached by the ancient locust tree, Huan'er may really not be able to find it.
Mu, who originally wanted to go out to find his grandson, immediately gave up his thoughts when he heard his daughter's words and said, "You go quickly, I will take Xiaoshan at home and wait for your father and second brother to come."
Yu Shi, who was standing beside her, dared not say anything, wiped her face and said hurriedly: "Ye'er, go, let's go quickly."
Sang Ye didn't dare to delay, so he told his mother a few more words, and rushed out of the house with his sister-in-law. But she didn't go to Huan'er
The missing street came to the Green Pin Pavilion and found the shopkeeper Song who could freely enter and exit the Fang family to take her to the Fang family to find Guhuai.
Although there are many locust trees in the city that can help her bring the news to the ancient locust trees, it is just that it is too slow, so it is better to find it yourself.
