"When did you take it away?" Ji Xun asked.

"I don't know, when I was having breakfast, I found that there was a child missing, and I didn't find it everywhere, so I was in a hurry." The aunt couldn't cry.

There are many children in the countryside, and every family is like this, and adults at the age of four or five let it go, eating and sleeping on their own.

The man in her family got sick again a few years ago, and there were five or six children in the family, so where could he manage so much.

The youngest child was lost, more than five years old.

It was only when she heard that there were tigers in the village, and that pigs and sheep had been taken away from someone's house, so she paid attention to it.

"Ji Gongzi, you are very strong in kung fu, please go into the mountains to help me find it, maybe the tiger will not have time to eat, woo woo." Although this is naïve, what parent doesn't want to have such a fluke? What if the tiger is full of pigs and sheep and temporarily spares the child?

Village Chief Yao walked over with a solemn expression.

"Ji Gongzi, tigers are much more ferocious than wild boars, you can't go."

"Aunt Sun, don't worry, I'll organize the villagers to go into the mountains to find people, and I will definitely find the child back."

Ji Xun is the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and he is not from this village, if something happens here, how can he explain it to his family?

"No, I have to go." Ji Xun affirmed: "The smell of blood in the valley is so strong, it must have attracted a lot of tigers, and you can't deal with it without me." Village Chief Yao, can you find a more lethal knife?"

Village Chief Yao thought for a moment and asked the village butcher to bring his family's pig-killing knife.

After finding the knife, he picked out more than a dozen strong young men, and hurriedly followed Ji Xun into the mountain with various weapons.

"Aunt Sun, did the child leave blood stains when he was taken away? Can you take me to your house?" Shen Yuyu walked up to Aunt Sun with a small snow group.

Xiaoxuetuan has a sensitive sense of smell, let Xiaoxuetuan sniff, follow the smell to find it, and see if you can find something.

"Okay." Aunt Sun took Shen Yuyu to her house.

Aunt Sun's family lives on the outskirts of the village, a simple wooden house with no walls outside.

"Auntie, did you hear any noise last night?" Shen Yuyu asked while looking around.

"Nope." Aunt Sun shook her head sadly, "I harvested a day's peach blossoms yesterday, and I didn't wake up when I slept, and I blamed me for sleeping so deeply, and killed my son."

There is no man in the house, far away from the neighbor's house, the old and the young in the house, even if they hear a little noise at night, no one gets up to care, which is quite pitiful.

Shen Yuyu walked around, Aunt Sun said that the child may have gotten up in the middle of the night to pee and was taken away, the strange thing is that there is no blood around the blood, but a few tiger footprints were found forty or fifty meters away from the house.

Looking at these tiger footprints, Aunt Sun cried bitterly again: "My poor son, you really fell into the tiger's mouth, woo woo woo."

Although they all saw the footprints of the tiger, Shen Yuyu always felt that something was wrong.

How sharp are the tiger's teeth? I don't know how much blood will bleed when I bite it, but it's really not common sense that the neighborhood around his house is so clean.

"Auntie, please take a piece of your child's clothes and give my little ferret to smell it, and let it follow the smell to find it."

"Okay." Aunt Sun hurriedly went into the house and took out a patched dress and handed it to Shen Yuyu.

"Xiaoxuetuan, you smell it well." Shen Yuyu put his clothes on Xiao Xuetuan's nose and lowered it, and after Xiaoxuetuan smelled it, he jumped off Shen Yuyu's body and began to sniff on the ground.

"Auntie, don't cry first, I just saw a hole in the back room of your house, so hurry up and find a way to repair it."

Shen Yuyan reminded Aunt Sun and followed Xiaoxuetuan.

The children in the countryside run everywhere, which corner of the village is not running all over? The small snow ball jumped here and there, and it was quite messy.

"Don't you smell the smell of entering the mountains?" Shen Yuyu asked strangely.

Xiao Xuetuan sizzled a few times, but he didn't smell it and walked around the village.

After sniffing around the village for a long time, Xiao Xuetuan propped up his little head in a daze, completely losing his sense of direction.

Shen Yuyu patted his head, "Look at my brain? If the tiger bites the child's clothes and takes him into the mountain, and there is no blood and no walk on the ground, where will there be any smell?" In this case, there should be nothing that can be done about the small snow group.

summoned Xiaoxuetuan back, and then inquired about the people who lost pigs and sheep in the village, and went to inspect the scene.

There are a lot of blood stains outside the pigsty and sheepfold, all the way to the mountain, the tiger footprints are messy at least three or more, at first glance it is visited by the tiger, and the scene of Aunt Sun's house is completely different.

After inspecting it, Shen Yuyu went to Aunt Sun's house again.

Aunt Sun is yelling and repairing the house, and she can't care about being sad, there are so many children at home, she can't survive if she loses another one.

When he came back from Aunt Sun's house, Shen Yuyu was a little surprised to find that Jiang Yingru and their carriage were not outside the courtyard.

"Mother, where did they go, auntie?" Shen Yuyu walked into the courtyard, without them, the courtyard was quiet.

Gu was picking vegetables, and there was a large stack of small cabbages that had just been brought back on the table.

"I said I went around and watched the scenery." Gu Shi said solemnly to Shen Yuyu while picking vegetables, "Daughter, don't run around, stay away from the mountain, there are tigers." ”

"Well, I know, I just walked around the village."

Shen Yuyu sat down, picked up a small cabbage, skillfully plucked the yellow leaves and roots, and put it in a pot.

After a pause, he asked Gu Shi, "Where did they go?" Can you catch a carriage?'

Gu replied helplessly, "Your cousin has a temper and is afraid of getting her shoes dirty when she walks." ”

"What are you doing in the countryside when you're so particular? By the way, mother, how many days are they going to play here?"

"I heard your grandmother say that she will live for a month or half a year, who knows?"

"Staying for so long? Don't want business in the city? What kind of business are they doing?"

"How do you understand? said that he was talking about selling goods, so he must have asked someone to take care of it. ”

The mother and daughter chatted, and the vegetables were picked, washed by the stream, and sent to the stove room to be made by the two sisters-in-law.

After the meal was ready, the people who went into the mountain did not come back, and even Jiang Yingru and his family didn't know where they went, and they didn't come back for lunch.

It wasn't until the beginning of the Shen period that the men who had entered the mountains came back and brought back two pig skeletons and sheep skeletons that had been gnawed all over the place.

The villagers had been waiting for news for a long time, and they were all relieved to see that no one was missing.

When the village chief Yao asked about the situation, he learned that after looking for a day, the tiger shadow was not found, and the pigs and sheep were eaten in the valley after they were taken away, and where their nests were, they could not find them.

Looking at the pig and sheep that were gnawed to the bone, Aunt Sun sat on the ground and cried.

Five or six-year-old children, it is possible to be swallowed alive, and still have bones?

The village chief arranged for someone to send Aunt Sun, who had fainted from crying, home.

The men who had been hungry for a day stayed at Jiang's house to eat, and everyone talked while eating.

"This beast is cunning, it doesn't go out during the day, and it can't be prevented from raiding at night."

"Isn't it? Even if you have the ability to kill them, you may not be able to find their nests. Jiang Qicheng shook his head helplessly.

"What can I do? Can you find a way to get rid of them?" Village Chief Yao's brows furrowed.

"You can try, and tomorrow you will bring the gongs and drums and go up the mountain."

Before the men finished eating, Jiang Yingru and them came back, and as soon as they stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Xuetuan rushed into the carriage like a 'whoosh'.
