"What are you doing wandering around here? Looking for someone?"

Being scolded by the old guys, a few young people opened their mouths to curse, but they saw the boss glaring at them, so they swallowed their anger.

Ever since the little girl disappeared, this group of people have been searching for her in the town day and night, searching every corner and even almost digging rat holes, but they still haven't found any trace of her.

The man with the scar on his left cheek politely bowed to the people in Xiaotian Village and said politely: "Greetings to all the uncles. I am a bodyguard for a wealthy family in this town. A few days ago, my little girl went missing..."

"The master and mistress at home were so worried that they sent me to look around for information. They are definitely not bad people."

Seeing that he spoke politely and didn't seem like a bad person, the old people in Xiaotian Village breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer afraid of them.

He slowly put the stool in place and sat down before saying, "I'm afraid your master will be disappointed. There are only so many families in Xiaotian Village, and we all know each other well. We haven't seen any children entering the village."

"Especially since you said that young lady looks like a little boy, fair and tender and conspicuous, I will definitely remember it if I see her."

"Yes, yes, the children in our Xiaotian Village are all dark-skinned. They run around in the village and on the mountains all day long, and they are all tanned like black melon eggs."

The man with the scar on his left cheek had been in the underworld for a long time and had some ability to judge people. He knew that the old men in front of him were not lying.

He politely bowed and thanked them again and again. Before leaving, he did not forget to say, "If you have any news, please go to the town and let us know. My master is very generous."

"Okay, okay, if we really meet, I promise to go to town to look for you."

The He family father and son, who had already sold all the game, were pulling a cart with silver in their arms, hurrying home with their heads down. They happened to meet the group of people with scars on their faces. They were walking out, and the two of them were walking into the village.

They looked at each other without saying anything. However, the man with the scar on his face, called Brother Dao, walked a few steps, looked back at the two men's backs, and muttered in a low voice, "What's going on?"

He believed in his instincts and would not want to look at the two of them for no reason. He did not understand what was going on for a moment, so he shook his head and left.

As soon as the father and son entered the village, they were asked, "You guys went to the town in such large numbers? What good things did you get?"

Boss He, who had been thinking about something with his head down, raised his head with a silly smile. Everyone would think that this kid is honest.

"I picked up some firewood in the mountains these past two days. The pile was too high, so my father helped to hold it from the back. I hope we can sell it sooner and come back sooner. There are still many things to do in the fields."

The old man enjoying the cool breeze could not help nodding his head, looking at He Lao Da as if he were his own son, and praised him with a smile: "Haozi has been down-to-earth since he was a child. It's just what you said. We farmers need to be diligent to have enough food."

"I guess you guys have been waiting at the town gate since before daybreak. Go home and have dinner. Your mother and the others must be worried."

"Yes, yes, go back quickly."

Old man He didn't say a word during the whole process. He just looked like an honest man. He smiled and responded to everything his son said. The two of them walked a little faster.

Someone muttered, "There was a new baby girl at Old Man He's house yesterday. Could it be that she was found by those people just now?"

"What are you talking about? Are you too old? Are you blind? The girl from Old Man He's family is a relative, and you look so gloomy."

"How could she be the town's eldest daughter? If she really was, the little girl would have cried and made a fuss to go home long ago. Why would she suffer in Xiaotian Village?"

After these words were spoken, those who were originally pondering could not help but nod their heads.

Who doesn't know how to live a good life? Young ladies from rich families are all pampered and can't stand the hard life in the village.

The He family father and son, who were originally rushing home with their heads down, looked at each other. As father and son for many years, they understood the meaning of each other's eyes.

This made the He family father and son even more worried. Those people looked abnormal. Now they had come to the village. They felt that they were coming for Ning'er.

The two returned home worried and full of thoughts, and even the joy of having dozens of taels of silver in their pockets was diluted.

Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. He hurriedly took a few steps and opened the gate of the yard. Seeing that the two men did not look well, she did not ask in a hurry.

He brought the prepared breakfast and said, "Eat first. You've been tired all night. If you have anything to say, talk about it after you finish eating."

After working all night, they were indeed tired and hungry. The father and son ate bland porridge, with almost the bottom of the bowl visible, accompanied by black steamed buns and fried wild vegetables without any oil or water.

With a little food in their stomachs, the two of them felt much better. He Laoda pushed the silver in his arms in front of He Pozi and said, "Mother, the prey was sold for a total of 26 taels. You Ning'er should keep it safe."

Mrs. He: “!”

Xu: “!”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't believe that there were twenty-six taels of silver on their table at this moment. They hadn't seen so much silver in the family for many years.

Ever since sending He Xinglang to school, the family had not had a single penny. They would always save up for several months and then send the money to him as tuition, leaving only a few copper coins.

It can be said that whenever mice come to the He family, they will go back empty-handed with an empty stomach.

The white silver was placed in front of him. Xu Shi stretched out his little hand and took a small piece of it stealthily. He put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and said excitedly: "It's real, look, there are teeth marks~!"

After that, he stuffed the silver into He Pozi's hand and said with a look of eagerness, "Mother, trust me, bite it, bite it."

Mrs. He: “!”

Boss He looked at her with some doting, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes filled with his wife.

Knowing that life was hard at home, Old Man He did not feel ashamed of his daughter-in-law, but felt guilty for not being able to give his children a good life.

Even though he was holding dozens of taels of silver at the time, his hands were shaking. If he hadn't attracted too much attention on the street, he would have wanted to try to take a bite of the silver.

Feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry at her daughter-in-law's behavior, Mrs. He took a bite and felt extremely emotional.

Why is this day so hopeful? Ning'er is really a lucky doll. Thinking of this, he seriously warned his family members.

"Ning'er is my biological daughter when she arrives at the He family. No matter whether she can find her family in the future, the He family will always be her home and she will always have a room there."

"As long as your father and I are here, no one in this family is allowed to plot against my daughter. Otherwise... even you and your brother will be kicked out of the house."

When Mrs. He said this, she was anxious and serious, which frightened Mr. He so much that he waved his hands and said, "Mother, please don't scare your own son. We are not that kind of people."
