Losing a baby is a big deal. That night, the news that Ergangzi's Xiaomu was lost in the city spread throughout Qingshan Village.

"Oh, this child Xiaomu is clever and cute. Every time he sees me from a distance, he calls me 'aunt'. How could such a good child be lost?" Lin Qiuniang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All she could think about was Xiaomu's appearance.

"It's all thanks to those heartless kidnappers, I don't know how many evils they have done!" Qin Shan felt bad in his heart, he hated those kidnappers who caused other people to be separated from their flesh and blood.

Lin Qiuniang held on to a glimmer of hope: "It's not necessarily the kidnapper who did it. Maybe someone's family was short of a child, and when they saw Xiaomu's cuteness, they took it away on the spur of the moment."

Xiaomu is so small, if he is abducted by a kidnapper, there is no telling where he will be sold, and whether he can survive is still a question; if someone really wants to take him away and raise him as his own child, then Xiaomu should be in Le'an County or nearby

Which village? If you search carefully, you might be able to find it.

When Qin Shan heard this, he felt that this possibility was not impossible, so he said: "Let's talk to Ergangzi tomorrow. If they are looking for him later, we can also help out."

"It's right to contribute. Xiaoxiao had something to do with Osmanthus before, and Ergangzi also helped." Lin Qiuniang remembered Ergangzi's favor in her heart, and then thought of another thing: "Speaking of which, the day you took Xiaoxiao back, Xiaoxiao

I laughed so hard that I cried because I was still eating my wife’s milk.”

Qin Shan also remembered this. He turned sideways in the darkness and stared at his daughter sleeping in the middle. He suddenly sighed: "The child was lost under his nose. I don't know how they will live."

Lin Qiuniang felt sad and held her daughter's little hand: "Their family has only been passed down for five generations, and the couple only has one child, Xiaomu. If they can't find him back, their good family may be broken up."

Qin Shan stretched out a hand and patted his wife on the shoulder: "Don't think about it. Go to bed early. You have to get up early to cut beans tomorrow."

"Well, just sleep." Lin Qiuniang responded, put a piece of clothing on her daughter's belly, and closed her eyes.

Qin Shan touched his daughter's face and listened to her slow breathing. His originally troubled heart gradually calmed down, and he fell asleep after a while.

There were also some discussions in the other rooms, all of them worried about Xiaomu and sympathetic to Ergangzi's family. When they arrived at Zhao Xiuxiu's place, it was completely different. She covered her mouth and smiled muffledly, and the whole bed was filled with laughter.

She trembled in her lunatic laughter: "God help me, really God help me!"

"Sister Xiuxiu, Xiaomu is lost, why are you so happy?" Xueya slept with Zhao Xiuxiu. She clearly felt Zhao Xiuxiu's excitement and felt a little scared in her heart.

Xiaomu is a boy, a few years younger than them, and they don't usually play together. But after all, we are from the same village, and everyone supports the same ancestor. If you just say no, you will disappear. Even if you don't have feelings, it won't be uncomfortable.

So happy to be like this.

"Xueya, you don't understand even if I tell you now, but you will know later." Zhao Xiuxiu suppressed the excitement in her heart and said perfunctorily to Xueya, but there was still an obvious excitement in her tone.

Hearing these words again, Xueya immediately lost her inquiring mood, turned over and turned her back to Zhao Xiuxiu, closing her eyes.

After Zhao Xiuxiu repeatedly dealt with Xueya, Xueya was no longer as close to her as before. However, the friendship that grew up together was hard to break, and Xueya still regarded Zhao Xiuxiu as a very important person in her heart.

Zhao Xiuxiu, who was making plans for herself, did not realize this. She felt that Xiaomu's loss was God's opening of eyes and gave her a perfect opportunity to stay in the Qin family.

In his previous life, a child was lost in the village. However, it was too long ago and he was not involved in the incident from beginning to end. When he recalled the important events that happened in Qingshan Village, Zhao Xiuxiu did not remember it.

After just hearing Xueya talk about Xiaomu being lost in the city, Zhao Xiuxiu suddenly had an idea. She did not have the specific time when Xiaomu was lost in her memory, but she clearly remembered the year Xiaomu was found.

She was eleven years old that year, three years after her complete break with the Qin family, when she was about to be sold by the Feng family to the fool who ruined her life.

"This time, I will definitely have a perfect 'predictive dream', get Xiaomu back in advance, and establish a firm foothold in the Qin family and Qingshan Village." Zhao Xiuxiu muttered to himself, and became a real person overnight.

The sweet dreams of those who are born with good fortune fall asleep soundly.

Early the next morning, Qin Shan came to Ergunzi's house and told Ergunzi about Lin Qiuniang's speculation last night.

Ergunzi hadn't slept all night, his eyes were scarlet, and his whole figure was like a fully drawn bow that might break at any time. After hearing Qinshan's words, a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Yes, Xiaomu is such a good boy,

Someone must have taken a fancy to him and took him away while we were not paying attention... Yes, if you can find him, you will definitely find him..."

Qin Shan felt extremely sad, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's up to you to get Xiaomu back, don't let yourself collapse."

"Brother Dashan, don't worry, if I can't find Xiaomu, I won't fall down." Er Sticki had tears in his eyes, and the numbness and despair before were gone.

People in Qingshan Village had just had breakfast that day, and Ergangzi's family of four went kowtowing from door to door, hoping that everyone could help and follow them into the city to search for Xiaomu.

Autumn harvest is coming soon, and dryland crops such as soybeans, sesames, and sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested and dug. When these crops are dried and stored in storage, it will be time to actually harvest rice in autumn.

Although it is not as busy as the autumn harvest, there is still a lot of work in the fields. After being asked by Ergangzi's family, most of them gave up their work and accepted without saying a word. They have a good relationship with Ergangzi's family.

, there are only two people, and if the relationship is normal, one person will appear.

About half an hour later, seventy or eighty people gathered at Ergangzi's house. Among them were old men in their forties and fifties, as well as teenagers of fifteen or sixteen. They sincerely hoped to help Ergangzi find Xiaomu.

The Qin family had a lot of labor and the work in the fields was not in a hurry, so both Qin Shan and Qin Chuan appeared in the search team.

"Thank you, thank you!" Ergangzi and her wife knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the dozens of people with red eyes in thanks.

Seventy or eighty people seemed to be quite a lot. After entering Le'an County, it was like water droplets blending into a pond. It was not easy to find a Xiaomu who was under four years old.

Everyone was full of hope and started looking for Xiaomu on the street where he was lost. They asked everyone they met, especially the vendors with fixed stalls on this street, who became the focus of inquiries. They hoped that someone had seen the scene where Xiaomu was taken away.

But the result was very disappointing. Seventy or eighty people searched from noon to nightfall, but could not find any clues.

In this way, everyone searched for four days in a row, searching almost the entire county and several villages around the county, but no trace of Xiaomu was found. It seemed that after he was lost, there was no trace of this person at all.

Not to mention how Ergangzi's family gradually despaired amidst disappointment and hope, the seventy or eighty people could not just live their lives and continue to help search for Xiaomu. They knew very well that in the end, the only people looking for Xiaomu were Ergangzi's family of four.

Qin Shan went out early and came back late for several days in a row. Qin Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention at first, until he found that his father was not in a good mood every time he came home, so he couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what have you been doing these days?"

The little girl and Xiaomu can't play together. The two children are not familiar with each other. No one in the Qin family specifically mentioned the loss of Xiaomu in front of her. Even after five or six days, she didn't even know that a child was missing in the village.

Kids, that's what everyone is looking for everywhere.

Qin Shan was afraid of scaring his daughter, so he originally wanted to fool her, but he also felt that it was necessary to let his daughter know that there were bad people in the world who specialize in abducting children, so that she would be more cautious, so he lost Xiaomu. He went to the city every day to help find someone.

Things have been said once.

At the end, he did not forget to warn: "From now on, when we take you outside, you have to follow closely. No matter who wants to take you away, you can't leave. Do you understand?"

It was the first time Qin Xiaoxiao knew that there was such a terrible thing as kidnapping a child in the world. She hugged her father's arm tightly and trembled: "Dad, I know, I will never go with the bad guys, otherwise I won't see dad."

Mom still has grandparents and them."

Qin Shan was very satisfied with his daughter's words, but was afraid of really scaring her, so he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, your parents will keep an eye on you and won't let you be abducted by bad people."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded her head fiercely: "Well, my parents have to keep a close eye on me. For such a beautiful and lovely girl like me, bad guys will definitely kidnap me when they see her."

Listening to his daughter's self-praising words, Qin Shan, who was originally depressed, couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, you are the most beautiful and cutest. My parents must keep an eye on you and not let any bad people get close to you."

With his father's guarantee, Qin Xiaoxiao immediately felt relieved, but his crooked eyebrows fell: "Brother Xiaomu is gone, Uncle Ergangzi must be very sad. It would be great if we can find brother Xiaomu back."

Qin Shan's heart moved, he looked at his daughter and asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you think Uncle Ergangzi can find Xiaomu?"

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and shook his head under Qin Shan's hopeful gaze: "Brother Xiaomu was abducted by bad guys, it's hard to find him."

Qin Shan's face changed slightly, and he felt slightly relieved when he thought that his daughter said it was difficult to find instead of not finding it.

As a parent, if a child is lost under your nose, no matter how difficult it is to find it, you will do your best to find it.

At this time, Qin Xiaoxiao said again: "Uncle Ergangzi is a good person. Good people are rewarded. Brother Xiaomu will go home soon."

She still remembers that Uncle Ergangzi sent her home, went to the mountains to help her hunt big cats, and even went to her aunt's house to help. How could such a good person let bad guys kidnap his child?

Qin Shan was very excited after hearing this. He really wanted to ask how long it would take for Xiaomu to come back. But he didn't dare to ask. It would be great if Xiaomu could come back. If he asked too many questions, he would be worried that it would have a bad influence on his daughter.

After receiving accurate information from his daughter, Qin Shan excitedly wanted to go to Ergangzi's house to comfort Ergangzi. He thought that it was a secret that his daughter's words came true, and those comforting words were heard in Ergangzi's ears as well as other people's comfort.

There was no difference, so I gave up the idea and just told Mr. Qin.

What he didn't expect was that when everyone was having breakfast the next day, Zhao Xiuxiu said something unbelievable at the dinner table: "I had a dream last night, and there was Xiaomu's whereabouts in the dream."

After Mr. Qin came to his senses, his expression changed slightly: "Don't talk when you eat or sleep. Eat well."

When the others heard this, they quickly stopped asking questions and ate porridge and cakes silently with their heads down. While dipping the sauce, they secretly glanced at Zhao Xiuxiu and guessed that her dream was just an ordinary dream or a mysterious precognitive dream.

The children didn't understand why, thinking that grandpa didn't like them talking at the dinner table. Seeing that the adults were silent, they all kept their voices down and ate breakfast honestly.

Zhao Xiuxiu was a little disappointed with Mr. Qin's reaction. The reason why she said it at the dinner table was because she wanted to make her "mysteriousness" public and see Qin Xiaoxiao and the others' envious looks.

After she uses her "predictive dream" to find Xiaomu, not only will she be able to stay in the Qin family smoothly, she will even become the most transcendent person in Qingshan Village. No one will talk behind her back that she is a freeloader.

After the meal, Mr. Qin sent everyone out, leaving only him and Zhao Xiuxiu in the room.

Looking at his niece who had a slight resemblance to his late sister, and thinking of the things she had thought about and done, Mr. Qin could not treat her as a seven-year-old child, and easily guessed what she was doing at the dinner table.

Tell the purpose of the prophetic dream in public.

Although he didn't like her high profile, finding the person was the most important thing, so Mr. Qin asked directly: "Is there really Xiaomu's whereabouts in the dream? Where is he?"

Zhao Xiuxiu did not dare to play tricks on Mr. Qin and said truthfully: "Uncle, I did dream. Xiaomu is not in Le'an County. He was taken to Jingxi County next door."

Jingxi County, one of the eight major counties in Jingli, is more than 90 miles away from Le'an County.

Mr. Qin's expression did not change at all, and he asked again: "Is Xiaomuke okay? Who abducted him?"

Zhao Xiuxiu shook her head: "Uncle, what I saw was Xiaomu when he grew up. He was about eight years old. He studied in a school. I think it should be good. As for who abducted him... Meng

There is no scene in the book where he was abducted, and I don’t know either.”

The so-called precognitive dreams were all made up by Zhao Xiuxiu herself. The news that Xiaomu was found in her previous life spread throughout the village. At that time, she was trapped in the house by the Feng family and could not get out. She just chatted with the Feng family.

I listened for a while.

She knew that Xiaomu was found by Er GuanZi from the neighboring Jingxi County when he was eight years old. She was not sure that Xiaomu was in Jingxi County now. Therefore, she deliberately said that what she saw in the "precognition dream" was that of an adult.

Xiaomu.

In this way, even if Ergangzi and his family went to Jingxi County and found no one, it was because the time was wrong and we cannot say that there was something wrong with her "precognitive dream".

Mr. Qin's expression condensed: Eight-year-old Xiaomu? Will it take four years to get Xiaomu back?

No, no, Jingxi is not far from Le'an, only more than 90 miles. If you take a carriage, you can get there in two and a half hours. If the kidnappers kidnapped Xiaomu, Xiaomu should have been sold in these five or six days.

Arrive at Jingxi.

If someone had taken Xiaomu away on an impromptu basis, the Ergangzi family had been searching so hard in the past few days and could not find any clues. It is most likely that Xiaomu was sent elsewhere on the day they were taken away, so nothing could be found out.

No matter what, you should go to Jingxi to look for him now. If you really can’t find him, then you can search again in four years. You can always find him.

Thinking of this, Mr. Qin asked again: "Besides the school, where else has Xiaomu been?"

Zhao Xiuxiu thought about it "seriously" and was careful not to tell the whole story: "It's a grocery store. I 'heard' Xiaomu calling the shopkeeper of the grocery store 'Dad'."

Mr. Qin knew what was going on, so he stood up and reminded Zhao Xiuxiu: "I will tell Ergangzi about this. Don't spread this 'predictive dream' to the outside world."

Zhao Xiuxiu's face changed slightly, and she endured her dissatisfaction and asked: "Uncle, why can't you tell me? There is no prophetic dream. If Uncle Ergangzi asks you how you know, how will you explain it?"
