Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays

Lin Ru didn't think much about what he heard and told him in detail about finding Maodan today.

Li Muchen listened very carefully in front. According to Lin Ru's description, it was indeed very likely that the children were taken away by human traffickers.

However, due to the doubts about Lin Ru's identity, the credibility of her words is greatly reduced.

Seeing that Li Muchen didn't say anything else, Lin Ru also remained silent, just thinking silently about what she should do to find the child.

The two also observed carefully on the way to the village entrance, but did not find any children's shoe prints, and the other shoe prints were nothing special.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of the village. They both slowed down their pace and tried to avoid any marks on the ground, hoping to find something there.

Seeing that Lin Ru was quite professional in her observations, Li Muchen became even more suspicious of her. How could a child who grew up in an ordinary working-class family understand these things?

After careful identification, the two found a row of shoe prints leading straight to a relatively hidden place at the entrance of the village.

Villagers generally don't go to this place, and from here on, the footsteps begin to become chaotic and concentrated, and then completely disappear, replaced by wheel marks.

When the two checked, they even found a cigarette butt. The villagers were reluctant to smoke and they all held their pipes to enjoy the experience.

Seeing this, both of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, because the possibility of the children being abducted increased.

Fortunately, there is still the clue of the tire tracks. I hope we can follow this clue and find the children.

After a while, Master Liu came over riding a ox cart. After seeing the marks on the ground, Master Liu and his companions felt their hearts sink.

He got on the carriage swiftly and chased after him along the tracks of the wheels.

Fortunately, there were few cars or people traveling in this weather, so the marks on the road were very clear, which greatly reduced the difficulty of tracking them.

They arrived at a fork in the road smoothly. Coincidentally, there were tire tracks on both roads. Li Muchen got out of the car, compared them, and finally decided on the route to take.

We walked and stopped like this, and followed the tire tracks until we arrived near the county town.

But when we got here we were in trouble because the tire tracks became so chaotic and impossible to distinguish.

They could only drive the ox cart to the county town first. Uncle Liu was responsible for watching the ox cart, Li Muchen was responsible for reporting the case, and the other four people searched separately in groups of two.

Several people agreed that no matter whether there was news or not, they must report to the oxcart parking place two hours later to report the situation and confirm safety.

So we started searching according to the divided areas, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack and it was extremely difficult.

Two hours were almost up, and Lin Ru and Wang Daniu had almost finished walking through the divided area, but there were still no clues.

Gululu...

Wang Daniu held his stomach in embarrassment, and Lin Ru then remembered that no one had had lunch yet.

"Comrade Wang, I'm hungry. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some food. It was me who insisted on coming to the county town to look for my child. I've made you suffer along with me. I'll treat you this meal."

Lin Ru thought that they must not have brought any money when they went out, and she was embarrassed to eat her food, so she spoke tactfully.

"This is so embarrassing, I'd better go back and eat."

"If you're not full, how can you have the energy to look for someone? Let's go quickly, or we'll be out of food soon."

Wang Daniu couldn't persuade Lin Ru, and he was indeed hungry, so he followed Lin Ru to the state-owned restaurant.

But it was past dinner time and only steamed buns were available, so Lin Ru had no choice but to buy twenty steamed buns and take them away.

Wang Daniu wanted to pay, but when he felt his pocket, it was cleaner than his face, so he quietly retreated to the back.

Lin Rusai gave Wang Daniu four steamed buns. She took out one and put the rest aside, preparing to give them to the others.

"Comrade Wang, eat it while it's hot, and give the rest to them when you get back."

Wang Daniu looked at the steamed bun in his hand and his saliva began to flow wildly. Seeing that it was not for him alone, he began to eat it with confidence.

At first he was trying to be more polite, but after taking a bite, he couldn't help but speed up and finished the bun in three bites.

He glanced cautiously at Lin Ru who was walking beside him. Seeing that Lin Ru was not looking at him, he felt relieved and picked up the second steamed bun and started to eat it.

After eating two steamed buns, I felt a little better in my stomach. I looked at the remaining steamed buns, swallowed my saliva, and put them in my arms, waiting to go home and let my family taste them.

Lin Ru was absentmindedly chewing on a steamed bun, looking at the people coming and going around her, wondering where the human traffickers were hiding.

Suddenly her eyes lit up and she gave all the steamed buns to Wang Daniu.

"Take the buns back and divide them up first, then ask Li Muchen and the police to come quietly to find me. I will leave circles drawn with coal as marks along the way."

After Lin Ru whispered the instructions, he ran forward. Wang Daniu saw Lin Ru running away in a hurry and knew that he might not be able to help, so he obediently went back to find help.

He hurried all the way to the ox cart and saw that everyone was there. He quickly told Li Muchen what Lin Ru said.

Li Muchen lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. He quickly raised his head and spoke to a few people.

"Master Liu, you wait here with them and don't go anywhere. I'll go see what's going on."

After saying that, he ran away quickly and disappeared in a flash.

"Master Liu, what should we do now? We just have to wait."

Wang Tiezhu asked anxiously.

Master Liu took a puff of his pipe and spoke slowly.

"Li Zhiqing is a capable man. If you go, you will only cause trouble. Just wait patiently."

"This is what Lin Zhiqing asked me to give you."

Wang Daniu took out the steamed buns in a naive manner and handed them to several people. Mr. Liu got three, and the others got four each.

Grandpa Liu sighed and took the steamed bun, hoping that the two and the children would return safely.

Seeing that Master Liu took it, Wang Tiezhu and Wang Dashuan took the paper package which was still slightly warm.

They were indeed very hungry. When they saw Master Liu start eating, they also took out their steamed buns and wolfed them down. After a while, they had all gone to their stomachs and then they burped in satisfaction.

Grandpa Liu was old, so he only ate one. He then wrapped the rest and put it in his arms, thinking of letting the old woman have a taste too.

Although Wang Daniu had already eaten two, he was not full at all. Seeing the others eating so deliciously, his mouth was watering. He raised and lowered his hand several times, but in the end he did not take out the remaining buns. He just swallowed hard and carefully touched the bun in his arms.

Lin Ru followed the person in front of her and walked further and further away. She became more and more cautious, fearing that she would be discovered.
