"What?" Chen Zhaozhao's heart suddenly rose, and he felt his head buzzing and the world was spinning.
"Tell me clearly what's going on."
"Xiao Ni and I were playing in the yard, and then I went to the toilet, and I didn't see her when I came back," Chen Damei said, crying.
"About what time? Did she go to the village to play by herself?" Chen Zhaozhao denied it after saying that Chen Xiaoni would never go out to play alone.
"About an hour or two ago, no, Sanmei and Simei had already gone to the village to look for them, but they didn't see anyone at all. I'm sorry, Zhaozhao, I didn't take a good look at Xiaoni." Chen Damei cried guiltily.
"Sister, please stop crying first. Have you told dad about this?"
"Er Mei went to tell us. Uncle Zhao has already asked someone to help us find it."
At this time, the early stage of farm work was coming to an end. Everyone was busy in the fields at the end of the village. When he heard that Xiaoni was missing, Zhao Youchang asked the people working in the fields to send someone from each family to help look for her.
"Sister, let's go home first." Chen Zhaozhao helped Chen Damei walk home.
When they got home, Chen Damei told her where Chen Xiaoni was playing. Chen Zhaozhao walked over and looked around, but found nothing.
According to Chen Damei, when Xiaoni disappeared, Chen Sanmei and Chen Simei went to their private plot, and Chen Ermei was picking fungus in the backyard.
Usually when they were busy at home, Xiao Ni often played alone at home, and they would pay attention to her from time to time. Chen Damei never expected that Xiao Ni would disappear when she went to the toilet.
"Sister, you wait at home, I'll go look for you." Chen Zhaozhao said to Chen Damei and walked out quickly.
She felt that Xiao Ni's disappearance was definitely not due to where she had gone, but because of man.
In nearly two hours, you can cover a wide area. You can go out to the town, and you can climb a few hills when walking into the mountains.
People in the village were already looking for her in the nearby mountains, so Chen Zhaozhao walked out. If Xiaoni was kidnapped, and there were many people at the end of the village, the other party must have gone towards the head of the village.
Chen Zhaozhao was so anxious that her heart was pounding. She first went around the village and asked people who had not gone to work if they had seen Xiao Ni or what they saw.
The result was nothing.
This incident was definitely not someone's impromptu idea. There have been no strangers coming into the village recently. If it had been planned for a long time, it was most likely done by the villagers.
Who could it be? What do you want to do by kidnapping Xiao Ni?
How is Xiaoni doing now? Will she suffer?
The more Chen Zhaozhao thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
Should I tell Yu Jinggui about this?
With this question, Chen Zhaozhao went to Lao Chen's house. When Jiang Chunxiu heard Chen Zhaozhao ask if he had seen Xiaoni, he laughed and said a lot of sarcastic and vicious words.
Chen Zhaozhao swore back and left angrily, going to Wang Erniu's house.
Chen Lili was the only one at Wang Erniu's house today. Chen Lili was locked in the room, and Chen Zhaozhao didn't talk to her.
From then on, she visited every house in the village to make sure that Xiaoni was not there.
"Chen Zhaozhao!"
Chen Zhaozhao came out of Wang Erniu's house and was about to go to the field at the end of the village to ask who had not gone to work. When she was passing by the village, Wang Sanmei came out and stopped her.
Chen Zhaozhao looked at her.
Wang Sanmei sighed and said, "I was in the yard before and vaguely saw a man walking out of the village carrying a sack."
When Chen Sanmei came to ask before, she didn't take it to heart. After they left, she thought about it and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, but she was too lazy to care.
When Chen Zhaozhao came to ask, she didn't say anything, and she didn't see it clearly. If not, wouldn't it be a delay?
After Chen Zhaozhao left, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and finally couldn't help but come out and tell her.
Finally hearing some possible news, Chen Zhaozhao was overjoyed and asked, "Who is that person?"
"I don't recognize him and I didn't see him clearly. The man had his head covered and was wearing a gray cotton coat. Judging from his build, he should be a man. He is a strong man. He is so tall and strong."
Wang Sanmei gestured, "I don't know what's in the sack I'm carrying. I'm telling you, I just feel weird, and I'm afraid it might be your child..."
"I understand, thank you." Chen Zhaozhao saw that Wang Sanmei was not lying to her.
The person she saw was really suspicious.
Chen Zhaozhao hurriedly went home and told Chen Damei to search for the person outside the village. Once outside the village, the area would be much wider.
When passing the village committee, she went in to call Yu Jinggui. Fortunately, he happened to be at the grain station and received the call.
Chen Zhaozhao told him the situation, and Yu Jinggui said he would take someone to look for her immediately, then comforted her and hung up the phone.
Yu Jinggui knows a lot of people, and with more people and greater strength, he will definitely be able to find Xiaoni.
Chen Zhaozhao shouted as she walked out of the village. The road out of the village was surrounded by mountains on both sides. She shouted while observing the situation at the foot of the mountain to see if there were any traces of people going up.
However, as she approached the town, she found nothing.
Yu Jinggui parked his car beside her and got out quickly.
Chen Zhaozhao burst into tears when he saw him, "Yu Jing is returning, Xiaoni is gone, what should I do?"
She walked and shouted all the way until her voice became hoarse. The further she walked, the more worried she became and the more painful she felt.
Thinking of Xiaoni's departure in her previous life, she felt that her heart was about to break.
She even wondered if she could not keep her in this life. As she thought about it, she became more and more afraid.
"It's okay. I've already called for help. People are looking everywhere, and they will definitely be found." Yu Jinggui comforted.
Seeing Chen Zhaozhao's tears, he felt very heartbroken.
"It's all my fault, I didn't take her seriously." Chen Zhaozhao blamed himself.
"Don't be like this. No one wants something like this to happen. Believe me, Xiaoni will be fine."
Chen Zhaozhao nodded, "Let's go find him quickly."
The two went to the town and asked everyone they met one by one.
At the same time, some people arranged by Yu Jinggui asked questions in the town, some went to surrounding villages to search, and some went to Lishan Village to conduct investigations.
Time passed minute by minute, morning passed, noon passed, until afternoon, Lu Linfeng quickly rode his bicycle and parked next to Yu Jinggui.
"Director Yu, someone in Taoshu Village saw a man carrying a sack up the mountain. According to the other person's description, it was very similar to what Comrade Chen said."
"Where is the mountain?" Chen Zhaozhao asked urgently. She felt that the possibility of this person was very high. "Comrade Yu, let's go find him quickly."
Yu Jinggui nodded, and Lu Linfeng quickly and briefly explained the situation. He rode his bicycle, and Chen Zhaozhao followed Yu Jinggui by car to Taoshu Village.
On the way from the town to Taoshu Village, someone was guarding there and told Yu Jinggui and Chen Zhaozhao where the man was going up the mountain.
Yu Jinggui and Chen Zhaozhao hurried up the mountain, while Lu Linfeng gathered people from behind to look for them on the top of the mountain.
The armed forces members led by Lu Linfeng often conduct patrols in the mountains and forests. They are very familiar with the mountains and forests, and their searches are orderly and directional.
There are relatively few people walking on this side of the mountain. Yu Jinggui is good at surveying and leads Chen Zhaozhao up the mountain according to the traces.
Halfway through, there are more paths on the mountain. From here, there are more people who go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, find game or cut firewood.
Therefore, there are more mountain roads to take.
Yu Jinggui and Chen Zhaozhao stood at the fork in the road, observing their surroundings to see which way to take.
"Let's look for them separately," Chen Zhaozhao said.
She was very depressed. Lingquan could only view the scenes of what had happened in the water. It would be great if it could be done anywhere.
She just tried it on the tree without giving up, but it didn't work.
"We can't separate. This mountain is getting deeper and deeper. I don't trust you if you go alone."
"But... the chances of finding them separately are higher."
"Lu Linfeng is leading a search, and he will definitely be found soon." Yu Jinggui reassured him and did not agree to separate.
Chen Zhaozhao had no choice but to compromise, "Then which way should we go now?"
"This one." Yu Jinggui chose the path the other party was most likely to take based on experience.
Just when the two were about to leave, Lu Linfeng led someone from the side, and his people were still holding someone in custody.
