The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

After hearing this, the long-faced yamen runner stroked his chin and thought for a while. The common people had a hard time recently and he couldn't make much money. He hadn't been to Yihong Courtyard to have fun for a long time. It would be nice to get some reward money from the young master!

I heard that a few days ago, these two guys brought a little girl to the young master, and the young master was so happy that he rewarded them with ten taels of silver!

After thinking about it, he patted the short and fat yamen runner on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, kid, you have a flexible mind! What do you think we should do?"

The short and fat yamen runner said with a sinister smile: "Brother, wait for us here. Let's go back from the woods and find a chance to tie up that little girl!"

"Okay! Let's do it! Be quick and be honest, go and come back quickly, don't get discovered. Don't underestimate those peasants, if they are reckless, they can kill people when they get ruthless!" The long-faced yamen runner thought for a moment and then warned.

"Got it, big brother. Wait for our good news!" After the two yamen runners said this, they went into the woods and disappeared!

In Linshan Village, it was almost noon when the village chief, his wife, and Chen Youfu finished their work in the fields and went home to prepare for dinner. But when they entered the house, they found the stove and the pots were cold, and there was no sign of Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan!" The village chief's wife walked around every room in the house, calling Yuanyuan. Seeing that there was no one in the front yard or the house, she ran to the vegetable garden and pigpen in the backyard, but still could not find Yuanyuan.

"Dad, I can't find Yuanyuan! You said this child didn't even cook, where did she go?" The village chief's wife ran back to the front yard and said to the village chief who was washing his hands.

"Did she go to visit her little sister's house? But Yuanyuan is usually very sensible. Even if she went to visit for fun, she would prepare dinner for us first!" The village chief was also very puzzled.

Chen Youfu, who was listening, felt uneasy for some reason and said to his parents in a hurry, "Dad, Mom, I think something is wrong. Yuanyuan never goes to other people's houses during mealtime! Let's go and look for her!"

The village head and his wife thought the same and became anxious, wondering if something had happened.

The family of three went to their fellow villagers' homes to look for Yuanyuan, but they checked the homes that Yuanyuan usually went to, and they all said that they hadn't seen Yuanyuan since the morning!

The village chief and his family searched for her in the fields, at the foot of the mountain, and on the path behind the house, shouting Yuanyuan's name! The whole village was filled with the sound of "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan..."

The villagers were all alarmed! After they came out to find out what happened, they hurriedly helped to search for people in the whole village!

Lin Xi's family was also alarmed. You Fulai had just asked them if they had seen Yuanyuan. Lin Xi and his family thought that Yuanyuan might have gone to visit another family, so they didn't take it too seriously. However, they didn't expect that they still hadn't found her!

"Let's go out and help look for it!" Lin Dayong spoke first.

So Lin Xi's family also joined the search team!

After half an hour, they still hadn't found the person, so they all gathered in the rice field to discuss countermeasures.

The village chief's wife was pale, her hands and feet were shaking, she pulled the village chief's sleeve and cried, "Dad, you said Yuanyuan wouldn't be taken away by a beggar, right?"

Upon hearing this, the village chief looked at the crowd and asked in a trembling voice, "Fellow villagers, did you see any strangers coming to our village this morning?"

"There shouldn't be any, right? I went out twice this morning and didn't see any strangers!" Chen Damazi's mother shouted in a loud voice.

Everyone recalled and said that they didn't see any strangers!

Seeing this, Lin Xi frowned, thought for a moment, and said to the village head's wife: "Auntie, go home and take a closer look to see if there is anything wrong, or if anything is missing from the house!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go and see right away!" After saying this, the village chief's wife got up and stumbled into the yard. Chen Youfu hurriedly followed her, supporting his mother.

After a while, Chen Youfu and his mother ran out of the yard in a hurry. Chen Youfu ran to Lin Xi and said with a heavy breath, "Lin Xi, there is a teapot and three tea bowls missing from our house!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi hurriedly said, "Yuanyuan may be planning to go to the fields to bring you water! Let's look for her along the way to the fields!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the fields, paying attention to both sides of the road as he walked.

Everyone hurriedly followed!

Just as she reached the edge of the woods, Lin Xi glanced at the drainage ditch beside the path and spotted a broken teapot in it. She quickly jumped down, pushed the grass aside, and found three coarse porcelain tea bowls.

Lin Xi brought up several large pieces of the teapot and three tea bowls, handed them to the village chief and asked, "Uncle Village Chief, take a look, are these yours?"

Before the village chief could reply, his wife rushed up with red eyes, clutched the tea bowl tightly, collapsed to the ground, and cried, "It's mine! It's mine! What should I do? My poor Yuanyuan! Who the hell kidnapped her?"

"Mom! Don't cry. It's important to find my sister now!" Chen Youfu said in a hoarse and crying voice as he quickly helped his mother up.

"Yes, mother, don't cry, take care of yourself, and wait at home. Youfu and I will go find our daughter. We will definitely bring her back!" The village chief tried hard to suppress his grief and anger, and said to his wife in a trembling voice.

"Village head, I think I saw the two officials who left this morning come back and hang around nearby! Do you think they were the ones who did this?"

Chen Fugui suddenly spoke at this time.

Lin Xi had just come back from investigating the traces when she heard Chen Fugui's words. She remembered the county magistrate's son's hobby and her face suddenly turned dark!

She suppressed the raging anger in her heart and said to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, I will go back and drive the carriage. Let's go directly to the county town to look for him!"

After saying that, he turned around quickly and went home to get the carriage!

The crowd here went wild because of Chen Fugui’s words!

The village chief burst into tears and laughed sadly at the sky, "Except for them, no other strangers have come today. It must be them! These are the officials we pay taxes to support! Not only do they not make decisions for us common people, but they also kidnapped my child! Hahaha! What a good official! What a good official!"

This time, he was completely disappointed with the imperial court and felt chilled! He even deeply hated these so-called officials!

The village chief’s wife also cried and cursed, “Bah! What a shitty official! They are just bandits in official guise! I want to go with you! I want to fight these damn bastards! Get my poor daughter back! Wuuuuu!”

Chen Youfu looked at his parents who were crying and cursing, and thought about his sister who was still nowhere to be found. His eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and his fists were clenched. He swore secretly in his heart: I must find a way to learn skills and make a name for myself, so that these corrupt officials will not dare to bully us unscrupulously!

The villagers felt the same way when they saw the scene before them. They were filled with grief and indignation, and they all expressed their desire to go with the village chief to find Yuanyuan!
