In fact, the saying that one has to wait 24 hours to report a missing person is a false statement. When the missing person is a child and the child is only nine years old, the 24-hour restriction will not apply.

After receiving the report from Mrs. Wu, the police took prompt action and went to the scene to investigate Xu Cui's whereabouts.

As a result of the visit, the police soon had a preliminary guess that Xu Cui went to the river to play with other children of the same age, and finally the children came back out of fright because Xu Cui fell into the water.

When Mrs. Wu got up in the afternoon and wanted to call the police, those people advised her not to do so because the relatives originally wanted to cover up for her child.

They felt that with more time, they would be able to cover up the matter.

But the police were not so easily fooled. They visited the house and found out that someone had seen the children going. After the visit, the police quickly came to a preliminary conclusion that Xu Cui had fallen into the water and the children were afraid that they had gotten into trouble and ran away.

The oldest of these kids was less than 14 years old. It seemed unnecessary to delve into what happened that day.

After hearing this conclusion, Old Mrs. Wu was almost going crazy. So this was the case. Wouldn't that mean she was harming her granddaughter?

If he had called the police and rushed to look for his granddaughter, she might still have been saved.

The police searched in the direction of the water flow. Because the terrain was too complicated and there was a section of water winding underground, and Xu Cui was not very tall, the police speculated that her body might be in there.

After receiving the news, Xu Cui's parents rushed back and extorted some money from the parents of those children, and were satisfied.

The son said to his mother, "It's okay. There's nothing we can do about this kind of thing that happened while we were swimming."

"Yeah, don't blame yourself." The daughter-in-law even looked a little happy, "Mom, I have good news for you. I'm pregnant again."

The son added: "I have already found a way to get an ultrasound, and it is a male."

For them, Cuicui’s incident was over, Xu Cui’s fall into the water was just an accident, they received compensation, had a new child, and could start a new life.

The old lady of the Wu family was so upset that she chased her son and daughter-in-law away with a big broom, "Get out of here!"

That was her Cuicui, such a good little girl, so considerate and sensible, and she was gone like this...

As time passed, the old lady gradually accepted the fact that Xu Cui was dead. At this time, she met Zhang Yipan.

Zhang Yipang was not from their village, but from the next village.

Zhang Yibian's parents remarried and abandoned this unfavored child to the countryside. The half-grown boy ate his parents out of money. When Zhang Yibian had the biggest appetite, the Zhang family didn't give him food or clothing and were extremely harsh on him. When the old man lost a mahjong game, he would beat the child.

Zhang was beaten so badly that he ran away from home and sneaked into the old lady's field to eat tomatoes.

The old lady saw Zhang Yibian at that time. Zhang Yibian trembled and knelt down directly.

Just for a bite to eat... Is it really necessary to do this?

The old lady felt sorry for Zhang and made him a bowl of noodles herself. Only then did she realize how thin the child was. It was just a bowl of bland noodles with an egg in it, but he finished it in an instant.

Seeing that he was still hungry, the old lady made him another big bowl of noodles, and then added three eggs and a sausage.

"Don't be anxious, eat slowly." The old lady said in a gentle voice: "Grandma, there are more here."

Zhang's tears fell into the bowl.

The old lady left him at home. Since Zhang Yibian didn't give her a phone, she couldn't contact his family. It turned out that no one came to look for the child after he had been at her house for three days.

Next to Zhang was a child who had been abandoned by his family. This child reminded her of Xu Cui.

Her son and daughter-in-law already had another child, and they wanted her to go to the city to take care of the child, but the old lady was unwilling to go, and because of this, her son became estranged from her.

Her Cuicui also has no luck with her parents, but Zhang Yipeng is a little bit more pitiful than her Cuicui.

The old lady adopted Zhang Yibian as her godson and even took him to her home for food and lodging.

One night, the old lady heard a knock on the door and someone called her, "Grandma, open the door, I'm back."

The voice belonged to Cuicui.

The old lady wanted to open the door, because she had rheumatism. It was a windy and rainy night, and her rheumatism flared up, causing pain in her legs and feet, so she did not move very quickly.

The old lady walked to the door and opened it, but there was nothing there.

She clearly heard Cuicui's voice...

Zhang was also fast asleep. When he heard the old lady opening the door, he rubbed his eyes and got up. "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear any noise at the door just now?"

Zhang shook his head and said, "Grandma, did you hear it wrong? The rain is so loud."

Zhang Yibe felt that he didn't hear anything and his grandmother must have heard it wrong.

Zhang persuaded his grandmother to go back and rest, and when they waited until the next day, they saw a little mud on the door. If this could not prove that someone had been there, then there was also a palm print on the door.

Zhang Yibian felt a little regretful. He really didn't hear anything last night. Could it really be Cuicui's voice?

The old lady called the police, but unfortunately, even if it rained heavily the day before, even if someone really had been there, there would be no trace left.

The police came, made a quick visit, and gave the old lady this reply.

Xu Cui’s household registration has been cancelled, and the police believe that this is an illusion caused by the old lady missing her granddaughter too much.

As for the mud marks on the door, it was just a coincidence because it was not cleaned properly, or perhaps the rain splashed onto the ground and landed on the door frame.

The old lady and Zhang Yipeng both had a question in their minds: did Xu Cui survive the fall into the water? Did Xu Cui come back that rainy night?

Or is it just a wisp of Xu Cui's ghost?

Zhang Yipan and the old lady are not afraid of ghosts, or rather, they are not afraid of the ghost that Xu Cui has turned into. They want to see her.

When Luosangsang was guiding the two people to the river, he told them what happened that year, which attracted a lot of comments.

[The naughty kid really hurt people. If the old lady had known about it earlier, maybe the kid would have been fine.]

[So it’s obviously the parents of the naughty child who are the worse. They have to delay such a big matter for a whole day.]

[If I were the naughty kid back then, I would definitely feel guilty. This is a human life.]

At this moment, a monk in a yellow-brown robe appeared in the camera. He walked up to the old lady and put his hands together in front of her.

"I have met Grandma Wu."

【???! Why did a bald monk suddenly appear?】

The monk said, "My name is Guan Kong. When I was a child, I used to play by the river with Xu Cui."
