How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Wang Qiuyu claimed to be ill and went home, but he was gone. Dong Xiaohuan's body swayed, and her voice trembled, "Could it be, could it be that he was abducted by a kidnapper?"

Dong's mother panicked when she heard this, and her chest ached. "No, no..."

"I'll go find Yong'er!" Dong's father stood up.

"Oh my god, Mom, don't worry, grandpa and grandma. Maybe he went somewhere else because he was having fun." Zhang Zhou had been drinking tea quietly, but now he frowned and walked out while talking.

"Mom!" Xia Chu tried to comfort her urgently, "No! Kidnappers wouldn't kidnap a child this old. We'll all go look for her, don't worry."

"I'm going to find my brother!" Guan Xu said as he ran away.

"I'll go find it! I'll go find it too!" Dong Xiaohuan couldn't sit still. After calming down, she muttered to herself and walked out.

Xia Chu knew the elders were panicking, so she had to stay calm. She supported Dong Xiaohuan and said calmly, "Mom, let's take Da'an and Xiao'an with us. Qiu Yu has always been lucky. You've forgotten that when he was little, he fell from a tree and there were several rocks on the ground, but he wasn't hurt at all. And then there was that mischievous time when he reached for the knife on the stove, and it fell, but it only cut his clothes..."

Dong Xiaohuan listened to the bad things her son did as a child, and her mind gradually calmed down. She stroked her chest and said, "Yes, yes, good fortune will come to those who are lucky."

Dong's father wanted to go too, but when he saw Dong's mother staggering to her feet, he hurried to help her and said, "Don't go."

Dong's mother's eyes were red, "I want to go, our Qiu Yu..."

After the others left, Li Xi couldn't sit still anymore and followed them out. In fact, she thought he must have gone out to play somewhere. Boys of his age, who are hated by cats and dogs, are the most naughty.

Xia Chu thought for a moment and decided to go to the theater first. If the child went out to play, he might go to see acrobatics. Da'an and Xiao'an were not brought out because the two dogs were too big and they were afraid they would scare people.

There were a lot of people in the Washe, and finding someone was extremely difficult. I looked around but didn't see Wang Qiuyu. I asked the gatekeeper, but he couldn't tell me if he had seen him before, as there were so many people here.

After leaving the theater, Dong Xiaohuan pressed her chest. The longer she left, the more panicked she became, and she even found it difficult to breathe.

Wang Yong and his companions searched and asked along the way along the academy, but as the sky grew darker, there was no sign of the child. However, curfew had arrived, so they had no choice but to return.

Dong Xiaohuan and her mother wept together. Wang Yong sent the others back and went to the government office again. As a veteran of the Lin'an County government, the county magistrate gave him face and allowed him to lead his men out to search for his son.

After searching all night, they confirmed that the child had left alone and had left the city. If he had left from this place, he might have gone to his maternal grandparents' home.

He dared to leave the city alone without a word? This kid is really getting bolder and bolder! Wang Yong was furious. He sent someone back with a message and led his men to search outside.

The area outside the city was much less populated than inside, and there was no one to ask along the way. Wang Yong brought a few close friends with him, shouting as they walked. They didn't dare to walk too fast for fear of missing someone.

Wang Qiuyu had already received a beating before Wang Yong brought him back, his buttocks swollen. He was deeply dissatisfied and even resented his father for hitting him so hard. But when he saw his mother, staggering and crying, hugging him, he suddenly stopped resenting and even wanted to spank himself.

"You dead kid, where have you been?!" Dong Xiaohuan hit him and cried, the fear and dread in her voice made people's noses sore.

Dong's mother felt her grandson's hand and arm, confirming he was alright. She breathed a sigh of relief and fainted. Chaos reignited in the house, and Wang Yong went out to find a doctor. Dong's father's hands were shaking with fear. If anything truly happened to his partner, whom he had been with for decades, he was afraid he wouldn't survive.

In the summer, they sent their grandmother back to her room while comforting their grandfather. Wang Qiuyu regretted it and wanted to cry but didn't dare.

After examining the patient, the doctor prescribed a tranquilizer, saying that the old man fainted because he was too old to be stimulated.

Wang Qiuyu buried his head in his chest, wanting his father to beat him again.

Xia Tian patted his shoulder and said, "Qiu Yu, where have you been?"

"I, too, wanted to go to my grandparents' house. I was secretly following my second brother, but I lost him once we left the city," Wang Qiuyu recounted. He'd specifically asked his second brother how to get to his grandparents' house the previous morning. Afterward, he'd gone to the academy and said he had a headache, slipping into the shop. The cars in the city weren't very fast, so it was easy for him to follow them. He even bought some snacks to eat along the way. He'd also thought of saving some for Dong Dongdong, which would surely please him.

But after leaving the city gate, Zhang Zhou got on the cart and the pace picked up. He had to trot to keep up, and the mule could run longer than him. Soon he got tired and fell far behind. At this time, he began to panic. He didn't know the way. What if he lost it? He didn't care whether he would be discovered or not. He chased after it while shouting: "Second brother! Second brother!"

But he was so far away in the wilderness that Wang Qiuyu didn't even hear him. If he had waited along the original route, Zhang Zhou could have taken him with him on his return journey. He'd thought so at first, but after waiting for a while, he'd realize he'd definitely be scolded if he went back. He might even get hit with his father's iron palm, so he decided to make amends.

He'd heard his uncle talk about catching rabbits before, so he wanted to catch one too. He'd studied the Six Arts at the academy, and his archery teacher had praised him. So, wasn't catching rabbits just hunting? He might not have a bow, but he was pretty good at it.

Leaving the main road to look for rabbits was the stupidest decision he had made today. When he said this, he found that everyone in his family frowned and sighed.

Of course, he couldn't catch a rabbit. Even though he was in the suburbs, rabbits weren't readily available. Besides, he had nothing in his hands. How could he catch a rabbit with his bare hands?

Not only did he fail to catch the rabbit, he also lost his way. As the sky gradually darkened, he finally became afraid. He was hungry and his legs were sore and weak.

Wang Qiuyu looked at her mother who was full of worry, and her brothers and sisters who were frowning, and did not say how miserable she was crying at that time, because she felt a little embarrassed.

On the way, he met a woodcutter who offered to take him home. Wang Qiuyu, remembering his sister's advice not to follow strangers or trust their words, turned and ran. The woodcutter chased him for a while, but he ran even faster.

"I remember everything my sister said. The woodcutter chased me for a long time, he must be a lame duck! Fortunately, I'm smart! I can run fast!" Wang Qiuyu put his hands on his hips, looking for praise.

Xia Chu sighed. This naughty kid, she'd told him not to run around alone, why hadn't he listened? There was no way a kidnapper would dress up as a woodcutter to catch a child so late at night. He probably had good intentions and saw that it was unsafe for him to be out alone.

So how did Wang Yong find him? Wang Qiuyu fled in panic, and it was already dark. He didn't know where he was. He encountered a small group of soldiers riding tall horses and wearing light armor.

"Hey, whose kid is this? What are you doing here so late at night?" Wang Qiuyu lowered his voice and imitated the soldier's voice, and then said a lot of nonsense to praise how majestic their horses and clothes were.

Wang Yong hit him again, "Keep talking! Stop talking nonsense!"

Wang Qiuyu rubbed his head. "They were on patrol and wanted to take me home. But the city gates were closed at night and there was a curfew. So they took me with them and said they would send me back at daybreak. On the way back, I met Dad."
