Seeing that Uncle Deng Xiang couldn't speak clearly, the eldest daughter of Deng Xiang's family made Bi Cheng red-eyed. She stepped forward to comfort him and said, "A-Cheng, please don't worry. Juan'er got separated on the way out to play with the children."
"You have been busy these past two days with the banquet competition at the mansion. We were afraid that you would get angry, so we didn't tell you. All the neighbors helped to go out to look for someone. Juan'er must have gone elsewhere and was caught.
A kind person took it back for now."
"This morning your uncle Deng Xiang went to the government office with several neighbors to report the missing person. A missing person notice was posted in the government office in the afternoon. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe someone will see the news and send Juan'er back tomorrow morning.
Don't be impatient."
When Bi Cheng heard that Mu Juan'er was really missing, he immediately froze on the spot, his eyes staring straight, and he muttered in a low voice: "Juan'er is lost, Juan'er is lost, Juan'er is lost
…”
Yan Yan was also anxious, but she was much calmer than Bi Cheng. She stepped forward and asked Deng Xiang's aunt: "Do you know whose children are taking my wife out with me?"
The eldest daughter of Deng Xiang's family nodded: "I know, the children are all familiar to us on the street. We asked them all. The children were just playing around and no one saw where Juan'er went. Alas!"
Yanyan roughly knew whose families the children who listened to Mu Juaner's stories on weekdays belonged to. She thought about it and asked, "Did Uncle Tian Gui's Pang Dun go there the day Juaner disappeared?"
The aunt of Deng Xiang's family responded quickly: "Let's go! We also asked Pang Dun'er, and the child said..."
"Okay, I'll go ask Fat Dun'er directly!" Yan Yan stepped out without waiting for Deng Xiang's aunt to finish speaking.
Bi Cheng came to his senses at this moment and quickly followed behind.
When several people arrived at Tian Gui's house, Bi Cheng stepped forward first and raised his hand to knock on the door.
It was a dark night, and the little household fell asleep early. He banged the door so hard that the dogs in the alley immediately started barking. The lights in the courtyard quickly turned on, and the middle-aged man's voice could be heard cursing from inside the house.
The person who opened the door was none other than Pang Dun's father, Tian Gui.
Tian Gui opened the courtyard door and was about to curse. When he saw that the person coming was Bi Cheng, he immediately laughed and said, "Oh, Cheng is back! Come on, come inside and talk."
Bi Cheng didn't say a word, stepped into the yard, and went directly to the west room without entering the house.
They were all old neighbors, and Bi Cheng knew that Pang Dun himself lived in the west house.
The reason why Yan Yan mentioned the child Pang Dun'er in particular was because Pang Dun'er was the oldest among the group of children listening to the story.
Older children can speak clearly, but children who are too young speak incoherently, and most of the questions they ask are inaccurate.
Tian Gui knew that Mu Juan'er was missing. He had helped find someone in the past two days. Now he saw Bi Cheng rushing directly into the child's room. Knowing that he was anxious, he didn't stop him and followed him in.
An oil lamp was lit in the room, and Pang Dun'er was sleeping in a daze when his father pulled him up from the bed.
Tian Gui put a cotton coat on the child and asked: "Dun'er, Brother Acheng is here to ask you about what happened when you and Sister Juanzi went out to play yesterday. Please remember to tell your brother Acheng."
Pang Dun rubbed his eyes, looked up and saw three people coming in from the door, standing on the ground in darkness.
All the sleepyheads were immediately chased away. Fatty'er said slowly: "It snowed heavily yesterday afternoon. We all wanted to take Sister Juanzi to see the edelweiss. Sister Juanzi said she couldn't see it, so we did."
Went with her."
"Then, we took Sister Juanzi to the place where the edelweiss grows at the east city gate, and we started playing. Then it snowed heavily and it got dark, so I and a few other boys kneaded snow dumplings and played around before heading home.
I ran away, and then we each went home. When Grandpa Deng came to ask about it later, I remembered that I had forgotten about Sister Juanzi."
Bi Cheng shouted anxiously: "You know she can't see, you took her out, why don't you bring her back again!"
Bi Cheng roared, and Pang Dun cried in fright, and howled: "We forgot at the time..."
"Pah!" Tian Gui slapped his son hard on the back of the head and cursed: "You are a loser who runs wild all day long. You, Sister Juanzi, are the ones you can take from outside at will! I will beat you to death, you are a loser."
Something..." As he spoke, he slapped the child on the head again.
Yan Yan knew that the fault was not with the children. Fatty'er was only six or seven years old at most. It was normal for him to forget things while playing, so he stepped forward to stop Tian Gui and continued to ask, "Have you been looking for Edelweiss today?"
Tian Gui nodded immediately: "I'm looking for you. Juanzi didn't come back last night. This morning, all our neighbors went out to look for someone. Dunzi, his mother, and I took Duner to look for that place."
, I even asked all the people nearby, and they all said they had never seen a person like Juanzi, so we wondered if someone might have taken her back."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan knew that he couldn't find any useful clues here, so he turned around and walked out.
Uncle Deng Xiang and Aunt Deng Xiang who were following along saw Bi Cheng trembling with anxiety and quickly comforted her: "Although we didn't find Juanzi, we searched outside for a whole day and didn't hear where the young woman died. There is a good person like Mu Juan'er."
Good news, he must have been taken home by some kind person, and nothing will happen to him..."
Neither Bi Cheng nor Yan Yan spoke.
The words of the two elders of the Deng family may be useful in comforting Bi Cheng, but Yan Yan has seen dirtier places with her own eyes.
She knew that in this huge Luwu City, there were places where filth and evil were hidden like Ning Fengzi's hidden address. If there was no news of death, people might still be there, and there might be no bones left.
Back at Bi's house, Yan Yan sent the two old people back first. Deng Wenming refused to leave, and Bi Cheng was in no mood to care about anything else, so Yan Yan could only let him go.
She searched carefully in several rooms inside and outside the courtyard, and finally opened the door and entered the house where she lived.
I had roughly searched this room before. Now Yan Yan came in and noticed an exquisitely carved pot-bellied crab apple vase on the table. She had never had this thing in her room before.
Yan Yan walked over and gently opened the bottle cap, and a tangy aroma of fried rice immediately came out from the jar.
Yanyan's tears could no longer be controlled and burst out in a flash.
Mu Juaner made this for her...
She casually said that she liked fried rice, and Mu Juaner, a kind-hearted little woman, prepared it for her, and she could smell it. Mu Juaner made fried rice for her with tribute rice.
There is also this exquisite fried rice jar, which must have been specially bought by her to hold fried rice for her.
Everything Mu Juaner did for her, no matter how big or small, she was very attentive and considerate. That gentle, intelligent, and considerate little woman...
Yan Yan slowly closed her eyes, hot and wet tears spilled out from between her eyelashes, slid down her cheeks, and fell to pieces on the fragrant fried rice.
She felt extremely sad, but Yan Yan knew that finding the person was the most important thing at the moment.
If Mu Juaner is not dead, she must be very anxious right now. Maybe she is still imprisoned somewhere and suffering, and she must be found as soon as possible!
Yan Yan tried her best to suppress the sadness and worry in her heart, put her hand into the jar, and gently placed her palm on the fried rice.
"Juan'er, if you have feelings for me, please tell me where you are at the moment..."
Yan Yan silently recited the appeal from the bottom of her heart, and a golden pure light suddenly emerged from her body, wrapping her body together with the fried rice can.
