Not long after Jian Yuelan caught up with him, Zhou Qingqing, who happily grabbed a sea soul shirt, finally discovered that Yu Qinghe was missing.
She panicked for a moment, turned her neck and looked around, searching, "Er baby, Er baby, where are you?"
There were people everywhere, but no children were seen.
When she thought of losing her child in her own hands, Zhou Qingqing turned pale with fright, burst into tears, and frantically searched for someone from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The commotion was so great that it not only attracted Zheng Wan and Yu Guodong, who were a few counters away, but also the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"What's wrong with Erba?"
Zheng Wan rushed out from the noisy crowd and caught her for questioning.
"The second baby is missing."
Yu Guodong's face turned pale, and he immediately turned to the crowd for help, "Has anyone seen my brother?"
"He is about this tall and wears a small green military uniform."
He stretched out his hand to make gestures, and his thoughts were extremely anxious, but his thoughts were clearer than Zhou Qingqing, an adult who was so panic-stricken.
As soon as he said these words, Zhou Qingqing immediately placed his hope on the crowd.
"Has anyone seen my child?"
Most people shook their heads, but a young woman with braided braids asked, "Is he a child about two or three years old who looks very white and thin?"
"yes."
Yu Guodong felt a little relieved, as long as someone saw him, "Sister, have you seen my brother?"
"Your brother is out."
The young woman was unambiguous, pointing to the open space next to the counter, and then pointing outside the door, "I saw him being squeezed out and stood by the counter for a while, then he went out on his own."
"Thank you, sister. I will come back and thank you when I find my brother."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Guodong had already rushed out.
The enthusiastic onlookers said, "Let's go and look for him together."
Several more figures rushed out.
Someone ran to report it to the police. Zheng Wanze finally reacted and pulled Zhou Qingqing, whose face was full of tears, "Quick, go find the child."
Zhou Qingqing's mind went blank, and her legs were so weak that Zheng Wan couldn't hold her back and was so anxious that she stamped her feet.
"Come quickly, I'll go out and take a look first."
If she can't count on this person now, she'd better go find Yu Qinghe.
"Don't cry, hurry up and chase me."
As soon as Zheng Wan ran away, the onlookers saw Zhou Qingqing still sitting on the ground crying, and they all told her to chase her quickly.
"Yes, yes, find children, find children..."
Zhou Qingqing, who was trembling all over, ran out like a headless fly.
"Second baby, second baby——"
Yu Guodong ran wildly through the streets, shouting everywhere, hoping that his brother would reply to him, but he never got a response.
Zheng Wan and the others also shouted as time passed and everyone was almost desperate to find him.
At this time, the police arrived.
At this time, Jian Yuelan chased the person into the alley and lost him soon after.
There are many alleys in Ancheng, and the woman who took Yu Qinghe away was a local snake. He could get rid of her by turning here and there.
She was so angry that she punched the wall and tried to calm down.
The original text also mentions Yu Qinghe's abduction, but the author blurred the timeline. He was found and rescued in a neighboring province a week after he was abducted.
The person who rescued him was Yu Shengli's comrade-in-arms and fellow villager who met Yu Qinghe. Five children and two girls were also rescued.
The full name of the woman kidnapped and trafficked in Qinghe was Wang Guihua, and her nickname was Mapozi. The reason why she had such a nickname was because she had pockmarks all over her face when she was a child.
Wang Guihua was not at the scene when Yu Qinghe was rescued, and the police failed to arrest her.
It was not until a thousand years later that she was dug out by the police because of Yang Zhaodi's arrest.
Existing known information: A middle-aged woman named Wang Guihua with a pockmarked face.
After clearing her thoughts, Jian Yuelan took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the courtyard next to her.
"Is anyone home?"
"Who?"
A woman's voice came from the door, and Jian Yuelan said, "Grandma, I'm looking for someone, could you please give me directions?"
With a creak, the door opened a crack, and then a gray-haired head emerged from the crack.
She is a white-haired old woman with a wrinkled face but a kind face.
Seeing Jian Yuelan, she opened the door and said, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for my aunt Wang Guihua. Grandma, do you know where she lives?"
"Wang Guihua?"
"Um."
The old woman thought about it seriously, "We don't have anyone named Wang Guihua. Are you sure she lives here?"
"Sure."
Jian Yuelan nodded and choked with sobs as if she was about to cry, "What should I do? If I can't find my aunt, where will I stay tonight?"
She pinched the corner of her clothes, her eyes were red and misty, her mouth was shrinking, and her skin was like black balls, she looked really pitiful.
The old woman couldn't bear to say, "Comrade, please don't cry yet. What does your aunt look like?"
Jian Yuelan described it in detail according to the plot, focusing on the pockmark on Wang Guihua's face.
As soon as the pockmark came out, the old woman's expression changed immediately.
His kind looks turned into disgust, but he still suppressed his temper and said, "She can't live here."
The bet was right.
The old woman really knows Mapozi.
She was overjoyed, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, "Grandma, can you tell me where she lives?"
Grandma couldn't understand why a crazy woman like Mapozi had such a polite niece. Could it be that good things come out of bad things?
She was confused and didn't want to embarrass Jian Yuelan. She pointed to the alley to the east and said, "Go into that alley, go straight to the end, then turn left into the north alley, continue going straight, and then take the fourth turn to the west alley.
Home, the one with the apricot tree at the door is your aunt’s home.”
"Okay, thank you grandma."
Jian Yuelan thanked her with great gratitude, then took two big white rabbits from her pocket and stuffed them into the old woman's hands, "Grandma, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you when I have time."
Before she finished speaking, she ran away like lightning.
She was so fast that if grandma wanted to refuse, she had no chance to say it out loud. She could only look at her retreating back and sigh, what a good girl, why did she end up with that girl from Mapo?
What a sin.
Shaking her head, she withdrew her gaze and went into the house to close the door, completing the entire action in one go.
"Apricot blossom tree, apricot blossom tree——"
Jian Yuelan followed her grandma's directions and kept walking.
Finally, an almond tree came into view.
The flowering period of the apricot tree has passed now. The branches and leaves of the tree are lush and green, and the tree is also very tall.
She looked around and saw no one. Without thinking, she rushed towards the tree, jumped up, grabbed a branch and climbed up quickly.
For a child who grew up in a mountain village, climbing up mountains, climbing trees and going down rivers to catch fish is a basic skill.
She did not rush to alert the snake, but found a place in the tree to hide herself while looking inside.
Someone was moving around in the room, and there were vague sounds, but they couldn't be heard clearly.
After a few minutes, the closed door opened with a creak, and the woman with a pockmarked face walked out with a smile on her face. She came to the courtyard door, opened the door, leaned out and looked around. When she saw no one, she hummed a little song and looked in a good mood.
Leave like that.
Jian Yuelan, "!"
Is it enough to turn a corner and go out to continue looking for the target?
She clenched her fists and looked at Wang Guihua's figure, wondering if she should go down and knock her down with a punch. She also thought that there were people in the room, so after thinking for a moment, she chose to continue squatting.
Wang Guihua can be caught later, but Yu Qinghe's safety is more important.
Thinking of this, she unclenched her fists and turned her head to continue staring into the room.
After staring for about ten minutes, a tall, strong man wearing blue overalls, covered in oil and with a mole on the left side of his eyebrow, opened the door and walked out muttering something like how annoying the little kid was.
Jian Yuelan immediately withdrew her gaze and observed his every move with the corner of her eye, and found that he had gone to the house next to the main house.
Then, the man took a bucket from the house to fetch water and returned to the kitchen.
Looking in through the window, Jian Yuelan found him squatting in front of the stove to light a fire.
She was overjoyed and quietly followed the apricot tree up the courtyard wall and entered the yard. She ran to the main room first and looked through the window. No one was found, but there was a green trouser leg behind the single-door wardrobe in the left room.
, and a small foot wearing cloth shoes.
It's Yu Qinghe.
After confirming that Yu Qinghe was in the house, she clenched her fists, suppressed her anger and went straight to the kitchen.
"Cooking."
Someone?!
The man was shocked, turned around and looked over, and saw a dark-skinned woman in front of him.
"you--"
"boom!"
The word "who" was stuck in his throat and before he could spit it out, a sharp pain suddenly came from the man's lower body.
His eyes suddenly widened and his face turned pale as he looked at Jian Yuelan.
"Abducting children, you deserve to die."
Jian Yuelan gritted her teeth and punched him in the chest. With a cracking sound, the man's vision went dark before he could even scream, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
His chest collapsed, which was caused by the misalignment of his chest ribs.
It won't kill you, but it will cause unbearable pain and make life worse than death.
