Asking for a divorce on the way to exile, finding a husband is a great pleasure
Chapter 98 Fugui'er is missing
The sun was still scorching, and even though they were walking on a mountain road, the sun was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
During the lunch break, Shen Yitian secretly drank a few sips of watermelon juice. It was so hot, so she relied on the iced drink in the space to prolong her life.
In fact, she also prepared a lot of ice cream. When it was the hottest, she tried to secretly eat a few bites of ice cream, but eating ice cream was not as convenient as secretly drinking juice.
She often wondered why she couldn't eat the food she had stockpiled openly.
After drinking the watermelon juice, she took a nap under the shade of a tree. Everyone had walked very hard, and after lunch they could rest for half an hour, and many people chose to sleep for a while.
It was only a short while later, when I woke up and counted the people, I found that another person was missing.
"How come there is one less person?" When Yuan Dutou heard the report from his subordinates, he was stunned.
We have just had a few days of peace, how could there be fewer people here again?
"It seems that Fugui'er is missing!" Yue Niang's voice suddenly appeared, a little panicked.
Shen Yitian had just woken up and was still groggy. When she heard Yue Niang's words, she immediately woke up halfway.
"Fugui'er is missing?" She looked around and indeed did not see the naughty kid.
No, Fuguier has not been so naughty recently. He has learned to listen to Yue Niang.
"He just told me he needed to pee, so I let him go. Maybe... Never mind, I'll go check it out."
At this point, no one thought Fugui'er was missing. After all, the child had always been very naughty, so it wasn't surprising that he would be distracted by something and forget to come back when he went to the bathroom.
But Yue Niang went looking for her for a long time, and when she came back she was still alone, which was very strange.
Her eldest sister-in-law was the first to greet her: "Yue Niang, where is Fugui'er? Did he eat something bad, that's why he's been delayed?"
She asked this, but you could tell she was a little anxious.
Yue Niang shook her head: "I didn't find him."
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Dutou again and asked: "Which two officials were on duty just now? Did you see which direction he went? Did I look in the wrong direction? I can't find him."
The person personally arranged by Yuan Dutou naturally knew which two people were on duty at noon. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked at the two people who were on duty just now.
Coincidentally, the person on duty at noon today was the officer who was trapped on the bridge with Shen Yitian that day.
The officer's name was Sun Yang. He took a step forward and said, "He went that way, and he certainly hasn't come back."
"Why haven't you come back?" Yuan Dutou asked.
Sun Yang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said with certainty, "Yes, he never came back."
When Yuan Dutou saw that he answered so confidently, he became a little angry.
"Since you knew he hadn't come back, why didn't you tell us when we were counting the number of people?"
Sun Yang paused and replied, "I only saw him go. I didn't notice when he came back."
The child didn't walk properly and often liked to go around in circles. The officers actually knew it.
"Then I'll look for it again." Yue Niang was a little flustered, turned around and walked over there.
If Fuguier had been mischievous before, Shen Yitian would have definitely ignored the matter. But these past two days, she found that Fuguier didn't seem so annoying anymore, and sometimes he would even act weird to make her and Yue Niang laugh.
After spending the past few days together, she and Fugui'er were quite familiar with each other. So she also told Yuan Dutou about it, but she did not go in the same direction as Yue Niang, but went to the other side.
The direction Yue Niang went to find Fugui'er was the direction they were about to go, while Shen Yitian went in the direction they came from.
She went there to look for Xiao Wei, who had been following the exile team. She didn't know if he fell asleep during the time they stopped to rest.
No matter what, Shen Yitian felt that she should ask him first.
But she ran back quite far and didn't see Xiao Wei.
Even when she called Xiao Wei, there was no response.
Shen Yitian was depressed. Could it be that Xiao Wei had gone to do something else? That shouldn't be the case. He had always been following her before.
She returned to the exile group, and Yue Niang also returned. She still couldn't find Fu Gui'er, and she was even visibly getting anxious.
"Sister-in-law, you said there are no tigers in this mountain, right?" She was very scared.
Although they are not far from the official road and there are two villages nearby, they are deep in the mountains after all.
There are endless mountains, and who knows if there are any ferocious beasts hiding in them.
Tigers can hurt people, and wild beasts like jackals, tigers, and leopards are not vegetarians either.
Fugui'er is just a child. Even if he is naughty and can run fast, he can't outrun the beast.
Her sister-in-law patted her on the back and consoled her, "Even if there were, they probably wouldn't come so close to us. With so many of us, we'd make quite a noise. Besides, a wild animal wouldn't come without making any noise."
She comforted him softly, but in fact she was just as worried.
Shen Yitian didn't say anything to comfort her. She just pulled Yue Niang and said, "Captain Yuan and the others must have investigated the case. Why don't we go to the place you just found and take a look. If it was dragged away by a wild beast, there shouldn't be any trace left."
Yuan Dutou also said: "Yes, even if it was a child, there should be traces if it was dragged away by a wild beast. Take me to have a look, maybe it's just a child's skin, and it got lost on its own."
He didn't say he was leaving directly. One person had already been lost in the team for unknown reasons. If another one was lost, he would no longer have this job.
With so many people, if everyone went, it would only cause more trouble. Yuan Dutou ordered Brother Hu and Xiao Yu to take a few brothers to stay where they were and watch, and the other prisoners were not allowed to run around.
"We've already lost one person. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the team alone, no matter what your reason is." Yuan Dutou said with a cold face.
These people disappeared inexplicably one after another, which made him very overwhelmed. How could he have a good face towards these people?
Shen Yitian followed them to the place Yue Niang had just found, but this area was full of shrubs and thatch. They only knew that Fuguier was probably coming here, but they didn't know where he went specifically.
The group of people could only look through the bushes and grass one by one, fearing that the naughty kid Fuguier had fallen asleep in some bush.
But after searching for a long time, they neither found Fuguier nor any trace of any wild beast dragging away anything.
"It's impossible for a healthy child to disappear for no reason." Yuan Dutou's face was already red, and the look he gave Yue Niang became extremely fierce.
Yue Niang hadn't noticed anything was wrong with him yet, so she continued, "Yeah, a healthy child wouldn't just disappear for no reason, would he?"
Shen Yitian noticed that Yuan Dutou's expression was not right, and pulled at the corner of Yue Niang's clothes.
"I don't know if this kid ran away on his own, or if he encountered something else..." Shen Yitian muttered to herself.
However, Yuan Dutou changed his usual friendly expression and glared at her.
"No one can make a rash conclusion until the matter is thoroughly investigated. It's not uncommon for exiled prisoners to attempt to escape on the road in previous years. You'd better not meddle in other people's business."
After saying that, he glanced at Yue Niang again and said, "There are some things I can turn a blind eye to, as long as it doesn't delay our journey. The rest is up to you. But if anyone tries to escape, don't blame me for being ruthless."
