Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

After comforting Liu Shuyue, Yao Qingnian immediately asked Goudan to take him to the river where they were playing. Many villagers were already helping to look for people by the river, and some people were talking not far away.

"This child must have fallen into the river, alas!"

"Who says it's not true? Otherwise, how could they just disappear like that? There are water ghosts in this place! These kids are really brave. They dared to go there without an adult to lead them."

"The old people in the village all know how deep the water is at this bend. Several people have drowned here in the past! But in recent years the water has become much shallower, and as time has passed, everyone has forgotten about those things."

"Stop talking. People from the Lu family, please help find someone!" Seeing Yao Qingnian and the others coming, several villagers quickly stopped talking.

"Lu family, don't worry. Yinuo is a lucky kid. He will be fine. Let's go look for him down there."

"Thank you! If anyone can help me find Yinuo as soon as possible, I will give him fifty taels of silver as a thank you! Anyone who provides useful clues will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

There were a few people who were not very willing to do this work in the field. After hearing what Yao Qingnian said, they immediately perked up and became serious. Fifty taels! It was enough for their family to eat and drink for several years. This was not a small amount. If they found Lu Yinuo, they would be rich. Why would they still farm?

The news spread quickly. When they heard that there was money to be made, almost all the men, women, young and old in the village ran back from their homes and fields, looking for Yinuo from head to toe.

"Qingnian, come and take a look." Lu Huaijin squatted at the place where Yinuo's shoes were found and looked for a long time.

"Did you find anything?" Yao Qingnian ran over.

"The ridge where Yinuo peed is not far from the river, but if he fell into the river, he would definitely leave a mark. You see, there are some weeds growing from here to the river where he could fall. Except for the place where the villagers just searched, the weeds have not changed at all and there are no signs of slipping. Yinuo's shoes are clean, which means he didn't wear shoes after getting ashore, but ran barefoot to the tree beside the ridge, intending to come back to continue playing with Goudan and the others after peeing. According to the route analysis, the possibility of falling into the river is not high."

"What do you mean?" Yao Qingnian calmed down and checked carefully according to Lu Huaijin's analysis. She found that it was just as he said. If it didn't fall into the river, where would it go? Will human traffickers come into the village? She still remembered that Lu Shuangshuang and Jiang Ruoyin were arrested before.

"It's hard to say now, but it's very likely that she was kidnapped. You look around and I'll ask someone to check if there are any strangers who have entered the village today or if anyone working in the fields has seen Yinuo."

"Well, go ahead! Tell me any news as soon as you get it!"

Yao Qingnian searched for Yinuo along the river. The villagers had been busy all day but still couldn't find him and were all tired.

"How is it? Qingnian, have you found anything?" The village chief found her.

"No." Yao Qingnian shook his head.

"It's no use searching like this. I'll ask the villagers to go back and rest. They've been searching for a whole day. You should go back and have something to eat. I'll lead others to search with torches."

"I'm fine, I'm not tired! Village chief, you've worked hard, you can take everyone back first! I'll go find Huai Jin and ask him how the investigation is going. This happened suddenly, I'll thank everyone after I find Yinuo."

"Okay, then you guys be careful and tell me if anything happens." The village chief comforted her and called the villagers back home. Even so, many people were unwilling to go back for the sake of the silver. But it was getting late and it was not safe outside, so everyone had to go back first.

After Yao Qingnian said goodbye to the village chief, she walked home with a very uneasy heart, and happened to meet Lu Huaijin who came out to look for her.

"How's the check going?"

"Let's talk about it when we get home." Lu Huaijin took her home. As soon as they entered the house, Liu Shuyue and Lu Mingchuan came to greet them.

"Huai Jin, have you found Yinuo?"

"Not yet, but I have sent people to look for him, and I believe there will be news soon." Lu Huaijin comforted.

"Could he have fallen into the river? Have we searched the riverside?" Liu Shuyue staggered a few steps.

"No, Yinuo didn't fall into the river. Besides, the villagers and Qingnian have been searching along the river bank for most of the day but couldn't find him." Lu Huaijin said affirmatively.

"It's good that he didn't fall into the river. At least he's fine. As for the child, he hasn't come back so late. I don't know how he's doing outside. Is he suffering?" Liu Shuyue couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Mom, you go and have a rest first. I was the one who brought Yinuo out, and I will definitely bring him back." Yao Qingnian promised them.

At this moment, Yang Xiujuan and Goudan rushed in: "Qingnian, you are all here! I came in because I saw the door was not closed."

"Sister-in-law Xiujuan, do you have any news why you come here so late?" Yao Qingnian didn't care about anything else and asked when he saw their anxious look.

"Yes, I just asked from door to door and finally got some useful information. Do you know Tian Yong from our Muratana family? He happened to be working in the fields when Yinuo disappeared. Maybe he knows some clues!"

"What about him? I'll go find him!"

"He was not here. He accompanied his wife back to her parents' home. He heard that something happened at his father-in-law's home, so he came back from the fields and left in a hurry with his wife."

"Where is his wife's home?"

"In Hejia Village."

"Okay, I see."

After receiving the news, Lu Huaijin and Yao Qingnian went to Hejia Village overnight.

"Is anyone there?" After knocking on the door for a long time, someone finally responded.

"Who is it? It's the middle of the night. Can't I sleep?" There was a creaking sound of a door opening in the yard.

"Is Tian Yong here?" Lu Huaijin shouted.

The door was opened a crack and an old man stuck his head out.

"Who are you, in the middle of the night? What do you want to do from Tian Yong?" The old man looked a little impatient.

"We are from the same village as him. My name is Lu Huaijin. I have something important to discuss with him. Please help me wake him up." Lu Huaijin said politely.

"What's the matter that requires you to come to him in the middle of the night? Wait!" Although the old man was somewhat reluctant, when he heard that the person was from their village, he was worried that it was something important, so he turned around and went home.

After a while, Tian Yong came out rubbing his sleepy eyes. Seeing them, he asked in surprise, "Aren't you from the Lu family? Why did you come to my wife's village to look for me in the middle of the night? What happened?"

"Well, my son is missing and I have something I want to ask you."
