It turned out that after Lin Ru and his companions left, the villagers went door to door, inside and outside the house, in the cellar, in the pickled cabbage jar, in the water jar, in the cabinet, in the box...

All larger places and containers were searched carefully, even the toilets were not spared.

But I couldn't find them anywhere. Although I knew it was impossible for the children to go to the mountain, I still searched the foot of the mountain for that little bit of hope.

No traces of any wild animals were found, so the animal probably had not been taken away. Everyone's heart sank.

If the child is not in the village and has not been kidnapped, then he or she was most likely abducted by human traffickers.

When the village chief heard the villagers say no again and again, he even put down his pipe, pondered for a moment, and asked people to gather all the villagers.

"The child may have been abducted by human traffickers. The family that lost the child should go to the county town to help look for him. Maybe there will be some good news there."

The village chief looked at the villagers and said that he didn't want to believe that the children had been abducted, but now the possibility was too great. In order to find the children as soon as possible, he had to respect the facts even if he didn't want to believe it.

"Village Chief, why don't you look for it? The child is my life. Do you want me to die?"

"That is, your child is not lost, so you don't care about him?"

"Why don't you let us look for the child? The child is clearly here, we just haven't found him yet."

"If you don't look for it, we'll look for it ourselves."

……

The village chief was helpless. It was pointless to argue with them now. It would only make the family who lost the child even angrier and more angry.

"Let's put it this way. Those who are willing to go to the county to look for the child can get on the bullock cart and go now. Those who don't want to go, let's continue looking for the child in the village."

After hearing this, those who were ready to cry and make a fuss were instead at a loss.

Those who were sensible in the family let the child's mother ride on a ox cart to the county town.

However, those who took the ox carts to the county were full of grievances and anger on the way. They felt that the village chief made a rash decision and their family members were confused. They regretted and cursed all the way.

Those few people who were still stubborn and searching in the village were very proud of themselves, thinking that even the village chief had to listen to them.

Although none of the villagers complained, they felt that it was a waste of effort and that it would be better to go to the county to look for it. However, seeing that the village chief was being criticized, they wisely shut up and continued the search.

In this way, the people who were looking for the chief in the village became more and more disappointed, while the people who came to the county town were extremely fortunate and praised the village chief's wisdom in their hearts.

Village chief, it is so difficult to do things. If you do something wrong, you will be scolded from beginning to end. If you do something right, you have to be scolded before you can hear a few words of praise.

Of course Lin Ru didn't know about this, but she thought, no matter why the villagers came to the county town, as long as the children were fine, it was a blessing, and nothing else mattered.

The people in the house were very happy to have found the child and decided to wait until the people who went to the hospital found the child before returning to the village.

With a creak, the door was opened again, and everyone looked towards the door.

"Wang Dahua, why are you the only one back? Where are the others?"

People who were familiar with Wang Dahua asked her hurriedly when they saw that she was the only one coming back.

woo woo woo...

Before I could wait for Wang Dahua to cry, I saw her crying. Her eyes, which were already swollen, became even redder.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on. They had already found the child, so why was she still crying so sadly?

"The other two comrades stayed in the hospital to take care of the children. Comrade Wang's child is not in the hospital."

The police comrade said in a heavy voice.

Everyone's expression was startled. It was not here, nor in the hospital. It was...

The original joy was diluted by this sudden news. The room was silent again, with only Wang Dahua's crying continuing for a long time.

"Let's go back first. The villagers are still waiting."

Grandpa Liu broke the silence in the room. Seeing that no one had any objection, he went out one by one and prepared to return to the village.

"Master Liu, please go back and tell my man that I want to wait here a little longer."

Wang Dahua suddenly choked up and said.

Grandpa Liu nodded in agreement. The others didn't know how to persuade her, so they could only hold her hand silently, hoping to give her some comfort with the warmth of their palms.

Wang Dahua looked at the backs of everyone leaving, turned back weakly but firmly, and continued to wait for news, whether good or bad, she always wanted an answer.

The ox cart rumbled forward, and the children were sleeping soundly in their mothers' arms, but would be suddenly awakened and scream in fear.

The mothers looked at their children like this and secretly wiped away their tears, but they were extremely grateful in their hearts.

At least the child is back, and the hurt will slowly dissipate.

"Come on, they're back."

"Hurry, hurry, they are back with the children."

“Both bullock carts have returned.”

Before Lin Ru and his companions reached the village entrance, they heard someone shouting.

When they were almost at the entrance of the village, there were already quite a few people standing there, and more were coming from afar.

"The child has really been found."

"It was really the human traffickers who abducted the child."

"I knew that what Lin Zhiqing said was right, but you guys still don't believe it."

"You were the one who cursed Lin Zhiqing the loudest."

"That's right, none of you supported him at that time."

……

Seeing that the children were found, everyone started bickering again as usual.

Everyone got off the oxcart holding their children, and the crowd started playing the game of removing obstacles and finding family members. It was very lively for a while.

Family members who did not go to the county town to pick up their children also came. They took the children from Grandpa Liu and bowed to express their gratitude.

Grandpa Liu waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. We were all from the same village, so there was no need to be so polite.

Every family happily hugged and kissed their children, they were extremely happy. The little troublemakers became the little darlings of the whole family.

However, there were still three families who were searching in the crowd, talking here and there, the smiles on their faces becoming increasingly faint, gradually replaced by fear.

"Master Liu, where is my child? His mother is not here either."

"My family isn't here either, where did they go?"

"Yes, Master Liu, did something happen to them?"

……

For a moment, a group of people gathered around Master Liu, all of them anxious to know the answer, but afraid of hearing bad news.
