Chapter 152 Losing the Child
"Does anyone have anything else to say? If not, let's go home and go back to discuss what to buy tomorrow. You can talk to me tonight or tomorrow morning." The village chief stood up and interrupted everyone's discussion.
Everyone suddenly quieted down after hearing the village chief's words.
"Village chief, I have one more thing to say." Yun the butcher stood up and said.
"Yun the Butcher, what else do you have to say?" the village chief asked puzzledly.
"Village chief, when Brother Wu and I came back from the city gate to get information, we heard a couple looking for their lost child. They said that there have been missing children in the square every day these days."
"Village chief, this is true. I heard it too," Old Man Wu added.
"Village chief, you also know that Zirui, a relative's child adopted by my family, encountered a human trafficker in the square before. Later, his grandmother took advantage of the trafficker's off guard and escaped with him."
"Later, they were discovered by one of the traffickers and chased after. Later, Zirui's grandmother died from injuries sustained while trying to protect Zirui."
"So, I think we should take this matter seriously. However, fortunately, we will leave here and go to the South Gate tomorrow." Yun the Butcher said thankfully.
"Yun the Butcher, is what you said true?"
"Yes, human traffickers are so abominable."
"When times are good, there are human traffickers. When times are bad, human traffickers become more rampant."
"You have to keep an eye on your children. If they are taken away by human traffickers, the chances of finding them back are slim."
"Didn't you hear from Butcher Yun that there have been children missing from the square every day in the past few days?"
"It's a good thing we didn't go to the square to rest."
"Yes, fortunately we will leave here and go to the South Gate tomorrow."
As soon as they heard the word human traffickers, everyone started talking.
"Village chief, Brother Yun and I had a discussion before. The square is so small, but children go missing every day and are never found. We think the missing children might have been taken to the city by human traffickers." Old man Wu quickly stood up and said.
"If you think about it carefully, it is true. It is impossible for a lost child to not eat, drink water, and sleep all the time. As long as he makes a sound, he may be found by others."
"Only when it is transported to the city will there be no movement in the square." The village chief thought about it and it was indeed true.
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Now that we know there are human traffickers in the square, everyone should pay attention. When we set out tomorrow morning, follow the team closely and don't fall behind."
"Everyone, go home tonight and explain everything to your children in advance. Don't run around tomorrow morning. If you really lose a child, it will be difficult to find him or her." The village chief said loudly.
"Understood, Village Chief."
"I'll tell my kids when I get home."
"Children will behave themselves once they hear the traffickers."
Everyone present was talking about it.
"Okay, it's okay, let's all go back." said the village chief.
So, everyone went back home one after another.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu walked back together.
"Brother Wu, when you go back, you must talk to your sister-in-law about the human traffickers. Ask everyone in the family to keep an eye on the child."
"Don't worry, let my children follow their parents closely tomorrow."
"That's good. I will take Yiyi into the city tomorrow, and let the other children go to the South Gate."
"I feel like there hasn't been a single day of peace since I came here to escape the famine," Old Man Wu continued to complain.
"Brother Wu, fleeing from famine is definitely not as good as staying at home. Once we get through this period, things will get smoother in the future." Yun the Butcher continued to cheer up Old Man Wu.
"That's all I can think of. Well, I'm home now, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Wu." Butcher Yun waved to Old Man Wu.
Butcher Yun also walked quickly to where he was staying. He found Yun Yiyi asleep on the chair. Several boys were chatting together not far away. Zhang was picking cotton next to the donkey cart.
Butcher Yun carried Yun Yiyi to the mat and let her sleep well. He looked up and saw that the sky was getting dark. Yiyi was asleep and probably wouldn't wake up.
"Boss, there are human traffickers in the square. When we leave here and head to the South Gate tomorrow morning, you must keep an eye on the brothers and tell them not to run around." Yun the Butcher whispered.
"I remember. Dad. Don't worry. I will take good care of my brothers." Old Yun replied in a loud voice.
"Take your brother to wash his feet and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow morning."
"Zi Rui, follow your aunt closely tomorrow morning. Don't fall behind and don't be afraid. The traffickers have never seen you in your current state."
"I think the traffickers steal children when adults aren't paying attention. As long as you stay with the team tomorrow, the traffickers won't dare to provoke us because our team is so long."
"Second brother, third brother, you two have to behave yourself and don't run around. Remember?" Yun the butcher's face turned serious in an instant.
"Uncle, I will be good and obedient." Xie Zirui answered obediently.
"I understand, Dad." Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun answered in unison.
"Follow your big brother to wash his feet, and go to sleep quickly after that. Move gently so as not to wake up your sister."
The young men nodded and went to wash their feet consciously.
Butcher Yun walked over to Zhang and sat down.
"Boss, what did you talk about in the meeting? I can see that you are worried about something." Zhang asked with concern.
"Tomorrow morning, the village chief will lead the people of Yunjia Village who are not going into the city, along the path beside the city wall to the south gate of the county town."
"Master, why are you going to the South Gate for no reason?" Zhang stopped what she was doing.
"Wife, we have to go out of the city through the south gate. Another reason is that every family in our village must have a cart driven by oxen or horses. There are too many refugees at the city gate, and driving a cart out would be more conspicuous."
"There are fewer refugees at the South Gate, so it's not noticeable. Besides, if we continue to move forward, we must go through the South Gate."
"Wife, the county government will give each refugee family half a bucket of free water every morning. But you can only get it once a day. Tomorrow morning when we get to the South Gate, you can ask the eldest brother to go with everyone to get it."
"In addition, the government also sells water. One bucket costs five cents. The village chief requires every family to buy enough water for ten days. Since our family has a baby named Zirui, we have to use more water."
"So when I go into the city tomorrow, I will buy two more large water jugs. I will buy water at the city gate and fill them up before returning. You just need to fill up the existing water jugs at home."
"Okay, I've got it in mind, head of the household. There's one more thing I want to tell you in advance. So that you won't be frightened. Yiyi may ask Zirui to go into the city with you tomorrow morning. If you want to save trouble, just agree directly. Otherwise, your daughter will keep pestering you." Zhang thought of Yiyi's cheating look and she laughed first.
