"Hello, mother-in-law." Wu Mo said with a smile, "We listened to your report and came to understand the situation."
Just at this time, Huangfuchen and Hua Chi also came in. Wu Mo said: "You should know them. They have been here before, but they didn't ask clearly about some things. There were some problems in the investigation, so we came to disturb them again this time."
."
"It's okay, it's okay." The old lady waved her hands repeatedly. She was relieved before it was too late that they could take this matter so seriously. Naturally, she would not complain and hurriedly went to get stools for Wu Mo and the others to sit on.
They were a family of five, and they had enough stools. The wooden stools were untreated and very rough, so Wu Mo and the others didn't mind it and sat down directly.
"Mother-in-law, I heard that your son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren have all disappeared in Luoyou Forest." Wu Mo asked gently, "Can you tell me more about the circumstances of the disappearance? How did you disappear and what time was it?
."
The old lady nodded after hearing this and said slowly: "Our family is relatively poor. We usually grow our own vegetables. My son and daughter-in-law go to the town early in the morning to sell them."
"On the day I disappeared, my grandchildren went to the forest to pick mushrooms in the morning, but they didn't come back at noon."
"Collecting mushrooms?" Wu Mo was a little strange and interrupted, "It's midsummer now and the temperature is very high. It shouldn't be a climate where mushrooms grow, right?"
Before the old lady could say anything, Shen Lingqi answered first: "Luoyou Forest is cool all year round, how come you don't even know this?"
Wu Mo glanced at Shen Lingqi but said nothing.
She had stayed in Luoyou Forest for a few days before. Although she noticed that the temperature was not high, she didn't pay too much attention to it. She just thought it was because she had just been born and had a cold ghost spirit.
In addition, she did not encounter any unseasonable plants such as mushrooms along the way, so she really didn't know that the temperature in Luoyou Forest was different from that outside.
After this small episode, the old lady continued: "When Jisheng and his friends came back from selling vegetables in the morning, they learned that the two children hadn't come home yet, so they thought they were playing in the forest. It was already noon, and my daughter-in-law was cooking at home.
After dinner, the step-sheng went into the forest alone to look for the children."
"It turns out that my daughter-in-law's meal has been prepared, but the child and step-son haven't come back yet."
"We waited until the afternoon, and it was almost dark, but there was no sign of them yet. My legs and feet were bad because of my age, and my daughter-in-law was worried, so she went into the forest to look for them."
"But after searching all night, I couldn't find it. My daughter-in-law came back in the middle of the night and found that the step-sheng and the others hadn't come home yet. After resting for a while, they continued to search in the forest in the morning..."
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help wiping away tears, "As a result, once I left, I never came back."
"Almost half a month has passed, and there is no news at all about the four of them..."
After hearing the old lady's words, several people's hearts sank. Hua Chi couldn't help but ask aloud: "Are you saying that your daughter-in-law also went into the forest to look for your son and the others that night, but there was no accident at that time, and she went in again the next morning.
Did he disappear later?"
"Yes." The old lady nodded with red eyes.
Hua Chi and Huangfuchen looked at each other.
This was something they had never investigated before. The old lady didn't go into such detail at that time, she just said that her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren entered Luoyou Forest and never came back.
Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law came back once on the way and disappeared only after she went in for the second time.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Wu Mo stood up and said politely, "We have learned about the situation and will work hard to find out the whole story. I hope you will take care of yourself." This chapter has been completed!
