Xie Rongen held Xie Rongrong's hand, then signaled her to be silent, and then walked quickly in his direction.
Xie Rongen took a look at the snake. It should be an ordinary vegetable snake, non-venomous.
As long as it's not poisonous, it's not a big deal.
What Xie Rongen didn't notice was that Xie Rongrong's eyes widened obviously, and then he quickly pursed his lips and lowered his head with twinkling eyes.
The stone Xie Rongzhao was sitting on happened to be face to face with Xie Rongrong.
After Xie Rongen turned around, he motioned for Xie Rongrong to follow. Just as he was about to scold her again, he noticed that the little cousin on the stone was missing!
"Good boy!"
Xie Rongen's face turned pale with fright, and his voice was obviously vibrating when he called "Guobao".
Xie Rongen walked to the stone and turned around, but couldn't find Xie Rongzhao. When he searched back and forth to no avail, he realized that Xie Rongrong had been standing there without moving.
Xie Rongen's face sank: "You were facing the direction of Guabao just now. Did you see Guabao being taken away?"
In Xie Rongen's heart, Guobao is very obedient and would not run around when going up the mountain before.
But now, Guobao is gone.
Someone must have taken her.
Xie Rongrong's eyes flickered and she shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know, I didn't see it."
Xie Rongrong said, feeling anxious, aggrieved, and more frightened, and burst into tears.
Losing a child is a big deal!
Especially this child is Xie Xiucai's only daughter at present. If she is not handled carefully, she may be in big trouble.
Xie Laiwang and Xie Xiuran, the grandsons of the old patriarch, each took a group of people and went into the mountain in two directions to find people. The old patriarch and the village chief stayed behind at Xie's house, and at the same time sent some younger people to guard the entrance of the village. , pay attention to whether there are outsiders coming in or out.
The village chief was also anxious. He saw that the Xie clan could get into Liu's glory and their lives would be easier. Why did this happen?
Xie Laosan and Xie Laifu both went to the county to make arrangements for their shop, which would be officially opened in the next couple of days. Although the village chief sent people to the county to look for it, he wouldn't be able to come back for a while.
Until the evening, no one found Xie Rongzhao. Liu Ruolan, accompanied by her mother-in-law and third sister-in-law, had already fainted from crying.
Xie Laosan doesn't believe in evil. He hunts all year round, so he is naturally familiar with every plant and tree on this mountain.
"There were finds in the cabin. It was obvious that someone had stayed here. Looking at the ashes, they lived here for at least three days. It seems that these people came well prepared. They should have figured out what we are. The details of Xiejiazhuang. Laifu, you report to the official, I will lead people to chase her along the mountain road. For such an old girl, and no one has seen outsiders entering or leaving the village, they can only take the mountain road. "
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Xie Laifu went to report to the official, while Xie Laosan led others with torches, making judgments based on the footprints on the ground and trampled weeds along the way.
Xie Xiucai's family lost a little girl. This was a big deal.
As soon as Xie Laifu reached the entrance of the village, he saw a young man riding a pony.
"Is that the one in front of you, Sanlang Cheng?"
"Exactly, you are?"
"I am Xie Laifu. I just came down from the mountain. My third cousin asked me to report to the official."
Cheng Jingzhou had already received the news, so naturally he would not sit idly by and ignore it.
"I've already sent someone. Now I guess the official messenger is also on his way. Which way did uncle San go?"
Xie Laifu turned around and made a judgment: "Over there."
"Okay, I'll take people to look for them in the villages along the way. The manpower I bring may not be enough. Is this uncle willing to call in some more helpers?"
"This is easy to handle, just wait a moment."
Xie Laifu quickly returned to the village. After a while, he brought seven or eight more young men over.
"Thank you, Master Wu. You lead them to follow. I will lead Chang Sheng ahead."
"Yes, Master."
Master Wu was the nurse of the Cheng family. He almost starved to death, but was saved by Cheng Juren, who was rushing to take the exam, and has been by his side ever since. Later, when the young master was born, Master Wu was always responsible for teaching him riding and shooting skills, and he was considered half of Cheng Jingzhou's Master Wu.
Although the Cheng family is wealthy, the number of horses at home is limited.
Now Master Wu was riding a horse and did not dare to run too fast. There was a boy behind him driving the carriage, calling everyone to come up, and then they all chased Cheng Jingzhou.
Besides, when Xie Rongzhao was being carried away with her mouth covered, she clearly saw Xie Rongrong opposite her seeing the whole process of her being tied up. She also saw that Xie Rongrong not only did not let Xie Rongen come to save her in the first place, but chose to remain silent. .
Xie Rongzhao didn't feel too disappointed about this. After all, he already knew who she was.
Xie Rongzhao was a little panicked at first. After all, she was only a five-year-old child with short arms and legs and little strength. How could she escape from this kidnapper?
Xie Rongzhao knew very well that these people kidnapped her, either to sell her or to threaten her beautiful father, so she was not in a hurry. At least for now, her life safety was not threatened. .
Xie Rongzhao was put into a sack by them. Even if they walked through the mountain road, these people were not bold enough to dare to kidnap a child openly and openly.
The most important thing is that they are worried about meeting the villagers of Xiejiazhuang again.
It was already dark when Xie Rongzhao was released from the sack.
There was a piece of rag gagged in her mouth, her big eyes were blinking, and although her face was a little pale, she didn't look very panicked.
This made Hu Er a little interested.
"Little girl, are you not afraid of us?"
Xie Rongzhao whined twice, and Hu Er immediately tore off the rag in her mouth.
"I'm afraid, but it's useless to be afraid. You won't let me go."
Hu Er was happy when he heard this: "Little girl, you are quite clever. It's your life that is suffering, but don't blame us for being cruel. Who made your parents offend others?"
Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes and probably guessed who was instigating it, but she didn't say anything. She was a hostage in their hands now, so there was no need to act too smart.
"Come, drink some water. When it gets dark, we will go down the mountain. Don't worry, although I, Hu Er, am cruel, I still have some conscience and will not kill a little kid like you."
Xie Rongzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing such a promise with his own ears would make him feel less nervous.
Hu Er brought two brothers. At this moment, the fat man was walking around with a torch in his hand, just worried that someone would chase him. At the same time, he was also looking for a way down the mountain.
It's also the fault of the three of them for being careless. They were only familiar with the terrain of Xiejia Village and ignored the other villages.
It's not within the scope of Xiejiazhuang now, but the problem is that they can't keep wandering around the mountain!
"Sss! What bit me?"
