Fu Yuling saw that it was already dark outside and calculated the distance to the village chief’s house. Logically speaking, He Wen should have already returned by this time.
The uneasiness in her heart gradually grew. Fu Yuling took He An and He Xuan out, but after looking around for a long time, she didn’t see that small figure.
“Xiao Xuan, you come with me.”
Since He Wen hadn’t returned, she didn’t feel at ease leaving the children at home.
Although she might have known that something really happened, after all, with He Wen’s calm personality, it was impossible for him to come back so late.
Holding He An tightly, she headed towards the village chief’s house.
After another five minutes passed, Aunt Zhang happened to be at the door. Fu Yuling looked around but didn’t find He Wen.
“Auntie, have you seen Xiao Wen?”
Aunt Zhang didn’t know what she was up to and said, “Xiao Wen is at home, isn’t he!”
“I asked Xiao Wen to come and find you. Auntie, didn’t you see him?”
Aunt Zhang was startled, and she stopped the work she was doing.
“Xiao Wen didn’t come to find me! I’ve been here all along.”
“Damn it!”
Muttering a curse in a low voice, Fu Yuling calmly said, “Auntie, please help me ask the villagers to look for Xiao Wen.”
Fu Yuling didn’t want to make things difficult for Aunt Zhang, so she took out two dollars and gave them to her.
“You can say that whoever finds him first will get this dollar. People will go look for him. The rest is for you. Please, I beg you.”
One dollar was equivalent to half a month’s wages. Even if those villagers didn’t like her, they would still go look for him because of the money.
Carrying He An on her back, Fu Yuling walked as fast as she could while He Xuan tried his best to keep up. He seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the situation, and his little face showed a serious expression as he took big steps.
Fu Yuling didn’t have the mood to laugh at him now. She tried to adjust her pace so that He Xuan could keep up.
Fu Yuling traced the road she had walked on earlier, and this time she discovered some clues.
There were some candies lying on the ground. Fu Yuling was very familiar with them. She gave them to He Wen.
Feeling anxious, sweat formed on her forehead, and her chest was heaving heavily due to her worry.
She tried to recall the novel forcefully. The novel was only a little over five hundred thousand words, and many things were not explained.
Not finding any answers in the novel, she began to eliminate possibilities one by one until she thought of Li Cuihua.
And thinking about the fact that this person was involved in “buying and selling” business, she immediately rushed to Li Cuihua’s house.
There was only an old mother in Li Cuihua’s house, and Li Cuihua’s personality was similar to hers.
Fu Yuling knocked forcefully on the door, and a loud voice yelled and cursed. Someone opened the door.
“Why are you knocking? Are you in a hurry to die and be reincarnated?”
“Where is Li Cuihua?”
Fu Yuling didn’t waste any words and stared coldly at the person.
“How would I know?”
The woman in red clothing was startled by Fu Yuling’s appearance, but then she realized why should she be afraid of her!
“Get lost, Fu Yuling! What are you doing coming to my house causing trouble?”
As she spoke, the woman took out a stick and blocked the way.
When Fu Yuling came to knock on the door, she already asked He Xuan to stay away with He An, so she wasn’t afraid of her.
The commotion on this side had long attracted the attention of many people.
Of course, the people who appeared here were all rushing over because they heard that finding He Wen would earn them a dollar.
Now everyone saw that Fu Yuling seemed very confident and confirmed that the person was at Li Cuihua’s house, and some of them began to shout.
“Is He Wen in your house? If he is, then let him out and don’t waste our time.”
As soon as these words were spoken, some people who had their own children taken by Li Cuihua to work and earn money defended her.
“Hey! What are you saying? Everyone knows what kind of person Li Cuihua is. How could she hide someone else’s child?”
“I think some people are starting trouble again, planning to extort money using a child.”
In any case, these people were speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Some of them naturally didn’t side with Fu Yuling and were just trying to deal with her. In no time, the scene became increasingly tense.
Offline- death, ending, or exit. Something like that.
