The four search teams sent by Cuizhu Village went back and forth between Cuizhu Village and Ping'an Town twice, but failed to find Zhu Qing's whereabouts.
The lights in Sun Fucheng's house were brightly lit all night. Mrs. Wang sat at the door and shed tears all night.
Sun Fucheng kept sighing.
Zhushan also refused to sleep and kept waiting for his sister to come back.
"Sister-in-law Fucheng, please stop crying. Qingya, maybe Qingya will be fine. Isn't the town under martial law? Maybe she will stay in the town? She was sent to the town early in the morning.
The Liang Family Pharmacy is closed, there's no chance she's there!" Guihua's sister-in-law advised her from the side.
"Zhushan, come on, eat something quickly. You little guy can't stand being hungry!" Guihua's sister-in-law urged Zhushan to eat something again.
He hasn't eaten anything since last night.
"I won't eat it. I'll eat it when my sister comes back!" Zhushan said and couldn't help crying.
"Sister will be fine, she can definitely come back!" Zhushan stared at the door stubbornly, his eyes unblinking.
"Hey, you kid, why are you so stubborn? You said you were not in good health to begin with. What will happen if you are hungry again?" Sister-in-law Guihua couldn't help but become anxious.
After listening to their conversation, Mrs. Wang thought that it was really not possible for her little son to be hungry all the time, so she came over to persuade her: "Shanba, you eat more and less to fill your stomach. Your sister will come back later to see if you are hungry.
Yes, I’m definitely not happy!”
Zhushan stretched out his sleeves to wipe his tears: "I won't eat until my sister comes back! Mom, they said my sister won't come back! Will my sister come back? I want my sister, I want my sister back!"
He couldn't help crying as he spoke.
"Who said that? Your sister will definitely come back!" Wang retorted, but she couldn't help crying.
Zhuqing did not return all night, and news came that the Wu family had escaped. It was hard for Wang not to worry.
In the woods at the entrance of the village, Zhu Qing finally woke up after being unconscious all night.
It hurt! She only felt indescribable discomfort in her neck and the back of her head.
That damn murderer! He actually dealt such a harsh blow to a little girl like her! It seemed that he was determined to put her to death!
Zhuqing felt that she was exhausted, and finally struggled to get up from the bushes. However, her head and face were covered with dew, leaves and grass clippings from the bushes, and her body was even muddy.
After she got up, she found that the bamboo basket behind her was still there, and it was thrown by the bushes not far from her.
So she walked over and picked it up, checked it, and found that there was nothing missing inside. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the two assailants saw that she looked like a child from a poor family in her clothes, so they didn't care about her things.
Take a look.
When she walked to her door, Aunt Huaihua who came out of her house didn't recognize her: "Hey, where did this little beggar come from? Don't go to his house. He just lost his child and is upset.
!”
"Aunt Huaihua, what did you say? When did my family lose a child? Did Zhushan lose it?" Zhu Qing was dizzy at this time, and he didn't even realize that the child Aunt Huaihua said was lost was him.
Hearing Zhu Qing's voice, Aunt Huaihua was startled, then looked her up and down, and finally recognized her: "Ah, it's Qingya who's back! Qingya, where have you been this night? We
People from a whole village have been looking for you all night!"
Then she shouted again with a loud voice: "Qingya is back! Qingya is back!"
Whoops, a lot of people came out of Zhuqing's house all of a sudden!
Only then did Zhu Qing realize that she was the one Aunt Sophora Huaihua said was missing! Thinking about it, it was true that she had been in the bushes all night, so it was strange that Wang and the others were not in a hurry to die!
"Qingya, Qingya! You're back!" Wang was the first to rush out. She hugged Zhuqing and couldn't help crying.
Next was Zhushan, who stumbled out of the crowd: "Sister, sister, I told you that you won't lose it!"
Li Zheng also came over: "Qingya, where did you go last night?"
Zhuqing looked at the concerned people, his heart warmed, and he said: "When I came back last night, I met two thugs. They asked me where my father was. I didn't tell them, so they knocked me out!"
"Oh, this kid really met a murderer!"
"This child's fate is really great! If it had been anyone else, he would have been killed long ago!" When the villagers heard Zhu Qing talk about her experience last night, they couldn't help but feel happy for her.
After listening to her words, Li Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face: "Those two people are looking for your father? Do you remember what they look like? Yesterday, the Wu family beat an official to death for resisting arrest, and the ones who escaped could not be them, right?
?Qingya, please clean up. We will go to the county later. I have to report this matter to the county chief, otherwise our village will be in danger!"
Zhuqing couldn't help but be secretly shocked after hearing Li Zheng's words.
The two men last night were most likely from the Wu family! They might have come to seek revenge on her father, Sun Fucheng. After all, her father signed the petition written by Zhou Zhengnan!
"I remember a person's face. There was a terrible scar from behind his ear to the left corner of his mouth! There was another person. It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly." Zhu Qing told Li Zheng what he saw.
"Ah, that man is none other than Scared Tiger, the third son of the Wu family! He is the most cruel and vicious!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed when they heard this.
Li Zheng also nodded: "The third child of the Wu family has a scar on his face, and I have seen him too! It seems that he was the one who beat you last night! Qingya, please eat something first to satisfy your hunger.
Follow me to the county government office as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, he solemnly said to everyone in the village: "Everyone, listen up. The Wu family may be hiding near our village now. We still need to strengthen our vigilance as we did last night, but we must not let them in."
The village has come to harm people!”
Everyone in the village has heard of the evil reputation of the Wu family. Now that he is talking about it, everyone is nodding in agreement.
"Come on, Qingya, come back and wash your face quickly!" Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her daughter and quickly took Zhuqing's hand and went home.
Seeing his daughter return home, Sun Fucheng was also excited: "Qingya, you are finally back!"
Next, while Zhuqing washed her face, she told them what happened last night.
Hearing that Zhu Qing was actually beaten unconscious by the Wu family's third son, Scar Tiger, Sun Fucheng looked angry: "Huh, it's Scar Tiger again! The last time I was walking on the road, he led someone to stop and beat me.
!If I meet him again next time, even if I risk my life, I will die with him!"
"Master, these evil people will be caught by the government, so don't be brave!" Mrs. Wang was frightened as she listened and quickly spoke to stop them.
Zhushan said from the side: "Dad, I want to grow up quickly, and when I have the ability, I will catch bad guys! I will never let those bad guys bully you and my sister again!"
Zhuqing sat down and pulled him to sit next to her: "Shan'er, I heard that you haven't eaten since last night? Come, eat with me! Don't do this next time! You said that if you were starving,
Wouldn’t it cause chaos in the family again?”
Zhushan lowered his head in shame: "Sister, I won't be willful next time!"
