The family name of the person who lost the child was Yu, and he was considered a well-known person in this area of Fucheng.
The arrival of Song Xixi and the dogs gave the Yu family hope. Mr. Yu specially prepared a table of delicious food and fed the four pets before he personally led them to the place where his children were lost.
This is a village surrounded by mountains on three sides, with ponds, lakes and streams surrounding it.
Two days ago, on a whim, the old man of the Yu family invited a group of old friends to go fishing in his village, and brought his eight-year-old grandson with him.
The child had no interest in fishing. After watching it for a while, he became impatient and clamored to go to the mountains to catch rabbits. Mr. Yu was in high spirits, so he asked two servants to take his grandson for a walk in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, in this turn, three of them disappeared and two of them disappeared. Only the old servant who had been serving the old master since childhood stumbled back and said that the young master was missing. Also missing was another servant.
At first, the Yu family thought that a missing servant had evil intentions and kidnapped the master for an ulterior purpose. They carefully traced the details of the servant and found nothing unusual.
However, they searched all over Zhuangzi and still could not find the missing master and servant. With the last hope, the Yu family turned to Du Wei through connections and asked Master Song Xixi for help.
Song Xixi asked the old servant a few questions and roughly determined the scope of the Yu family's disappearance. Then she took the shoes that Young Master Yu had worn before his disappearance from Master Yu and handed them to 250.
The three dogs sniffed carefully, and after focusing on the smell for a few times, they followed the place where the Yu family's master and servant passed before disappearing.
Mr. Yu stared at them nervously and asked Song Xixi: "Miss Song, they will definitely be able to find my Yu'er, right?"
Song Xixi didn't dare to guarantee this matter: "If Young Master Yu is still nearby, the possibility of finding him is extremely high."
In other words, if the other person was moved, or slipped and fell into the river and floated to other places, no matter how sensitive a 250-year-old dog's nose is, it would be impossible to search for Young Master Yu's scent, and the possibility of finding him is extremely low.
Mr. Yu didn't say anything. Mrs. Yu, who was determined to follow her, was not satisfied with the answer and said slightly harshly: "I remember that a child disappeared years ago, and you found him after he was missing for four or five days."
Song Xixi's face turned cold: "Mrs. Yu is accusing me and my dog of not being diligent? In that case, you can find it yourself."
After that, she would call back the dogs who were searching carefully in front of her.
"No, no, my wife was too impatient and said the wrong thing, please don't blame Miss Song!"
Mr. Yu hurriedly stopped Song Xixi, said something nice with a smiling face, and turned to scold Mrs. Yu: "Shut up if you can't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Mrs. Yu did not expect that her husband would scold her in front of outsiders and servants. She looked at Mr. Yu with wide eyes and disbelief: "Husband, although I am not Yu'er's biological mother, I single-handedly raised him. You
How could you reprimand me like this..."
Upon hearing this, Song Xixi couldn't help but look her over.
This woman keeps talking about how attentive she is to Young Master Yu, and how she doesn't think about food or drink after Young Master Yu disappears. Listening carefully, it sounds more like she is deliberately indulging Young Master Yu, in other words, she is outright flattering and killing him.
But this is a family matter of the Yu family and has nothing to do with her, an outsider.
Under Mrs. Yu's grievances and cries, Mr. Yu quickly softened his heart and could not bear to scold her any more, so he had to continue to apologize to Song Xixi, hoping that she would not care about Mrs. Yu's unintentional mistake.
For the sake of the reward of one thousand taels of silver, Song Xixi didn't say anything and silently followed the dogs deep into the orchard.
Mrs. Yu was quiet for a while and followed Master Yu obediently.
Until Song Xixi and the dogs walked through the orchard and headed for a hill covered with rocks, she opened her voice again and said: "Yu'er is only eight years old. He is usually the most delicate, and there are rocks here."
There are thorns again, how could he go there!"
When Mr. Yu heard this, he thought it made some sense, and couldn't help but look at the four masters and pets suspiciously.
"Since Mr. Yu has found me through connections, he naturally believes in our abilities. I don't know what Mrs. Yu's intentions were when she spoke rudely and deliberately obstructed me."
Song Xixi stared at Mrs. Yu with a half-smile, as if she wanted to look into her heart through her eyes.
Mrs. Yu's face changed slightly, and she tried her best to hide it: "I'm just afraid that I will waste time and miss the best opportunity to find Yu'er. Miss Song, don't mess around!"
Song Xixi rolled her eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to this strange couple, and continued to move forward with the dogs.
Mrs. Yu breathed heavily in her chest, and took the opportunity to apply eye drops to Mr. Yu: "Husband, look at her, she is a country girl, how dare she not take her husband or the Yu family into consideration!"
Mr. Yu had not yet lost his mind and explained: "She is nothing, but I heard that the prefect is quite fond of her. We still have to respect her a little. Don't get into any more verbal disputes with her."
Mrs. Yu curled her lips and looked at Song Xixi with eyes full of hostility, but more of a guilty conscience.
Song Xixi led her dogs to search for the whereabouts of Young Master Yu, and stopped paying attention to any words from Master Yu and Mrs. Yu.
After passing through the rocky hillside and arriving at a relatively flat valley, Erbaiwu and the pole stopped one after another and sniffed carefully in the bushes on the side.
Song Xixi took a look and knew that Young Master Yu had been here before he disappeared, otherwise the dogs would not have stayed here.
Immediately afterwards, the dogs all stood next to a rough big stone and barked towards Song Xixi.
Song Xixi hurriedly stepped forward, peeled away the covering grass, and saw a brown mark on the big stone. She stretched out her index finger and crushed it, confirming that the small fragment stuck to her finger was a drop of dried blood.
She immediately gave the order to the dogs: "Keep looking!"
The dogs didn't hesitate at all and started searching everywhere with this big rock as the center.
"Miss Song, have you found any trace of Yu'er?"
Mr. Yu came up excitedly and looked around the big stone, but he didn't see anything wrong.
This time Song Xixi spoke: "Wait a little longer."
Mr. Yu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will listen to Miss Song."
Mrs. Yu behind him tightened her handkerchief, her guilt and uneasiness becoming more and more obvious in her eyes.
Song Xixi glanced at her and gloated: "The Yu family has a good show."
Of course, the premise is that Young Master Yu can be found alive.
Not long after, another reminder came from the front: "Woooo~"
Song Xixi ran over quickly and saw Erbaiwu standing next to a dense bush. She opened the grass and took a look. It turned out to be a dark secret cave that could not be seen to the bottom at a glance!
Could it be that Young Master Yu lost his footing and fell into the hole? Or...had an accident occurred and his body was destroyed?
