Soon, the village chief came over in a hurry, his goatee trembling a little: "Whose child is missing?"

Although there are people who sell their children these days, they are very rare. As long as they can afford to raise a child, even if it is a girl, they are their own flesh and blood, and they will feel sorry for it.

Liu Er's wife could hardly stand up. She was supported by others and walked over, begging: "Village chief, please, please everyone, please help me find Rong'er. She is so young, she can't be without her mother..." Her tears flowed like rain, and everyone who saw her was moved.

"Liu Er's wife, please get up quickly. We have to help you without you telling us."

"Hurry up, they can't run far. With so many of us, we can definitely find Rong'er."

This was a big deal in Qili Village. Even the families who didn't usually come here rushed over with their weapons to help look for the child on the side roads and official roads. Except for the child and Zhao Xiu'er, all the other people in the Li family also went out.

Cen Shu sat on a small chair, half-held in her mother's arms, leaning on her brother. What was the point of having an eight-month-old girl? She couldn't work, and she was hard to raise. Suddenly, her eyes flashed. She remembered that Wang Ren was going to be locked up for half a year, which was recently, when he was released!

He said at the time that he would get 500 taels of silver after the job was done. This was not a small amount of money. For a man who could sell children and sneak into other people's homes to kill people and rob children, it was very likely that he stole the child.

Thinking of this, Cen Shu became very excited. It would definitely be in time to intercept them now!

But soon, her little head dropped again. She had overlooked a question: how could she let others know?

Just when she was distressed, Zhao Xiuer teased her habitually: "Fubao, call mother. Mother~"

Cen Shu realized almost immediately that she just couldn't say it when she was too young, and now she is used to not saying it. But in fact, she is already more than eight months old and can try to say it.

Thinking of this, she began to open her mouth with difficulty and uttered: "Ah~"

Zhao Xiuer: "Ah~ Mom~"

Cen Shu said with all his strength: "Ah~Nian——"

Zhao Xiuer hugged her excitedly and said with a smile: "Hey! Mom is here! Fubao is so smart..."

Yisheng and Yiqiu also shouted happily: "Sister can talk now! Call me brother, brother~brother~"

Cen Shu didn't have time to call out, so he quickly tried to say, "Woof——"

Yi Qiu: "Hahahahahahahahaha, my sister is imitating Da Huang's barking, it's so funny."

Zhao Xiuer looked at Fubao with tenderness in her eyes and touched his face.

Cen Shu's voice was suppressed, and he angrily said to Yi Qiu: "Humph!!!"

The snot almost sprayed onto Yi Qiu's face.

Then, he tried hard to say, "Woof! Hot!"

No one paid attention to what she said, they just thought she was learning to speak.

Their nonchalant and even amused looks made Cen Shu even more anxious, and he tried hard to say, "Woof! Hot! Woof! Hot!"

Zhao Xiuer finally noticed these two words and said, "Fubao, don't talk about this. Say brother~brother~"

Cen Shu said stubbornly: "Woof! Hot!"

Yisheng was the first to react. His little mind had already memorized a lot of things. He asked hesitantly, "Sister, who are you calling?"

Cen Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Woof! Hot!"

The hair on Zhao Xiuer's back stood up. Fubao couldn't be talking about "Wang Ren!"

Zhao Xiuer's gaze on Fubao's face gradually became surprised: "Fubao! You are talking about Wang Ren! Right?"

Cen Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded his head: "Woof! Re! Rong!"

Zhao Xiuer was so scared that she stood up immediately. Fortunately, Fubao leaned on Yisheng, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

"You, you mean, Wang Ren stole Rong Jie'er?" she asked in disbelief.

Cen Shu looked at her and felt a little unsure whether his mother was frightened and thought she was some kind of demon or something. But if he didn't say anything, if it was true, Rong'er would not be able to come back.

She then nodded.

Yisheng: "Wow! Sister is so amazing, how did you know that? The adults are all idiots~"

Cen Shu leaned against Yisheng and tried hard to hold on to his clothes, fearing that he would lose his balance and fall off the chair.

She was worried that Zhao Xiuer would be afraid of her, but the next moment, her body flew into the air and entered a warm and familiar embrace.

Zhao Xiuer: "Fubao, don't tell anyone else. Got it?"

Cen Shu nodded in agreement, and watched her warn Yisheng and Yiqiu again. Then he hurried out and said to everyone he met, "Wang Ren! I heard that someone saw Wang Ren carrying a small bag out of the village!"

It was very chaotic outside, and no one noticed who said it, but useful information spread very quickly. Everyone spread the news and went to Wang Ren's house immediately. Wang Zhaocai moved out lifelessly and saw villagers carrying farm tools and sticks all over the yard. He asked, "Why did you break into my house like this?"

The village chief asked seriously, "Zhaocai, where is your Wang Ren?"

Wang Zhaocai was also a gangster when he was young. He said unreasonably: "If you want to find him, go find him. I am his father, not his servant. Why do I follow him every day and ask him where he is going?"

After Liu Er got the news, he almost rushed into his yard and shouted, "Where is Wang Ren! He stole my little daughter, an eight-month-old baby..." As he spoke, the grown man choked up.

Wang Zhaocai closed his eyes and said unreasonably: "I told you I don't know, I don't know. Your baby is missing. What does it have to do with me? Get out of my house!"

The crowd had no way to deal with an old man, so they had to retreat and drive their ox carts and donkey carts to block people on the roads leading to the town and the county.

Since he stole her, he would definitely sell her. However, no one in the village would want such a young girl, so the only options left would be in the town or county.

Liu Er's wife was so shocked that she fell ill. His family had a daughter in their old age. They had this little girl when they were almost 35 years old. They loved her so much. They prayed and prayed in the Guanyin Temple for this little girl, but now she is gone. No one can accept this.

When it was completely dark, Cen Shu felt drowsy, but the family had not come back yet. Zhao Xiu'er simply heated up the leftovers and let the children fill their stomachs.

It was probably around 11:00 p.m. that the sounds of ox carts and donkey carts could be heard returning to the village one after another.

Cen Shu rubbed his eyes and stared at the door motionlessly.

The door was opened, and Li Huaiqing walked in with Zhou Qiaoping. As soon as they entered the door, Li Darong and Zhang Ercui also came back, hammering their legs. But after stretching his neck for a long time, he still couldn't find his father.

Zhao Xiuer hurriedly poured some water for them and handed them over: "Dad and Mom, what's going on? Have you found the child?"

In fact, she had been feeling uneasy. If she had not met Taoist Qingyang by chance today and he had insisted on asking her to take Fubao away, it would have been very likely that it was Fubao that was lost. After all, Wang Ren came here for her in the first place.

And now that Rong'er is lost, she always feels fortunate and sad. Perhaps it is because Rong'er replaced Fubao.

Zhou Qiaoping took a big gulp of water and said, "There's news. Someone saw a man holding a child on the way to the county. Lao Er went after him with Liu Er and the others, so we came back first. Don't worry, the people who went there are all good hunters in the village. You can go to sleep with the child."

Cen Shu could no longer hold on and slowly fell asleep. The next day, when the sky was bright, the news finally came.
