Chapter 64: This time the old man really guessed wrong!
Old man Tai doesn't care about any wealth, he just wants his granddaughter to come back safely.
It is not even more important whether the blind man calculates accurately or not, at this time, these words are the best reassurance.
He reached into his bosom and tried to take the money, but found that it had all been left at the tea stall.
The blind man "saw" his embarrassment and smiled and waved his hand.
"Big brother, we have a fate. One day in the future, we will meet again, and my brother will help me at that time. ”
The old man hurriedly responded, and had to say a few more words, Tai Jizong had already brought all the people in the village here.
Tai Sanye's hat ran crooked, grabbed the old brother's hand, and shouted, "What the hell is going on, have you found Zhuzhu?" ”
The old man shook his head, and then looked at his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law who were crying and swollen eyes, and he hated to die of shame.
Yang Lihua's hand in her sleeve pinched her wrist tightly, so she didn't cry anymore, but opened her mouth to persuade the old man.
"Dad, don't get angry, Zhuzhu's child is blessed, he didn't cry before going out, he will definitely be fine."
Others didn't understand this, but the old man was a little relieved.
Every time something bad happens, the granddaughter dreams.
There is nothing unusual about the granddaughter this time, so there will definitely be no accident.
Or a false alarm!
Tai Jizu also wanted to comfort his father, but he was too worried about his daughter, and he was afraid of crying as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tai Sanye was also in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Sixth, how do you say we are looking for children?" We must hurry, I'm afraid it will be dark in another hour!"
More than 40 people from the clan came and shouted.
"Sixth uncle, you hurry up and assign us a place, we will definitely get Zhuzhu back!"
"Zhuzhu, this child is blessed with a great life, and he will definitely be fine."
"That's it, that's it! Maybe it's around here, so let's do it! ”
The passers-by who were watching next to them couldn't help but be envious when they saw that everyone in the Tai family was so united.
In these years, there are clansmen who can rely on to keep warm and survive, even if they encounter something, they are not afraid, and they are full of confidence.
At this time, Tai Jiye also received two official missions.
Speaking of which, he is actually an acquaintance, and it is the official who went to the broken courtyard in the north of the city when he investigated the killing of Li Laosan and others.
The old man hurriedly saluted, "I'm tired of the two officials going on a trip, I'm really too anxious to lose the child at home." If there is a place that is not well taken care of, I hope the official will forgive me. ”
The two officials waved their hands, the last time the Tai family gave a lot of hard money, and the Tai family was also registered in front of the county commander because of the ice sculpture, in case of next winter, the Tai family will also carve ice lanterns for the county government.
It's no harm to them if they're getting along now.
So, one of the officials whispered, "Uncle, don't worry too much, let's find the child first." If we can't find it, we will go back and tell you, and then ask the county magistrate to decide. ”
Old Man Tai was anxious, but he couldn't help it.
Because the child has only been lost for more than an hour, in case it is an oolong, it is really not good to alarm the county magistrate first!
After a few more words, they assigned their places, and scattered in all directions, searching carefully.
As the Tai family ran all over the city, and under the heavy reward, almost everyone in the city knew that they had lost their children.
Some people followed to watch the excitement, but many more were alert, especially the women of each family, who were eager to call the child in front of them immediately to make sure that the child was still around.
So, as soon as the sun set in the west, the children playing in the streets and alleys were reluctantly dragged home.
And this really found a problem.
The young master of a large family in the south of the city said that he went to the street to buy pen and ink, but he never went back.
The servants in the family are looking like crazy, which is better than the posture of the Tai family.
What made the Tai family even happier was that this family also had connections, and after making sure that the little master couldn't find it, he directly begged the county magistrate.
The county magistrate ordered the city gate to be closed, and then sent messengers to inquire from house to house.
The family even offered a reward of two hundred taels, just to find the trace of the little master.
After the Tai family found out, they were more hopeful!
Only Old Man Tai is still concerned, because even if there are really kidnappers in the city, his granddaughter may not fall into the hands of others.
The mastermind behind the scenes may threaten him with his granddaughter's safety, rather than reselling it through abduction......
But this time, he really guessed wrong!
In a ruined courtyard in the north of the city, the three adobe rooms of the main house have been collapsed by the rain, but a half-warehouse house behind it is still intact.
At this moment, the three men got together and ate roast chicken and steamed buns while roasting the fire.
One of the fat men frowned, bit the chicken leg fiercely, and scolded in a low voice, "This time is really dangerous, it's all because I shouldn't be greedy for money." If you kidnap the dead girl and leave, go to exchange for that person's silver, and then they will all go out of the city gate, and An An will trade as much as he wants. ”
The other thin man was also worried, but he flattered and persuaded, "Don't say that, boss, that kid is so well dressed, and the jade pendants on his waist are all of the best sheep fat jade, he is really a big fat sheep!" Whoever sees it wants to be taken back captive!
"Besides, one sheep is also sent out of the city, and it is not difficult for two sheep to make a fortune, and we are also happy."
The last man had a pointed face and a big black mole on his chin, and he didn't care about it, and echoed, "What the second brother said is that the eldest brother doesn't have to worry about it. Let's wait until it gets dark and see how it goes.
"There are just a few servants in the government who are stupid, and if they want to search the whole city, they can't do it for three or five days. If our secret passage is okay, we will take the fat sheep out of the city and fly away. If we really check it tightly, we will kill those two little cubs, and no one will be able to find us! ”
The fat man in the lead took two handfuls of "reassuring pills", and his face was much better.
When the three of them counted, they ate, drank, talked and laughed, without a trace of guilt at all......
In the corner of the courtyard outside, there is an inconspicuous stone, under which is a wooden plank, and under the wooden board is an abandoned vegetable cellar.
A young boy of about ten years old sat in the corner with a frightened face, the brocade clothes and pants he was wearing were all stained with mud at this time, the embroidered gold belt around his waist was torn off, his clothes and pants were a little loose, the gold ring on his head was gone, and his hair was unkempt.
He held a small female doll in his arms, and his clothes were quite neat, but at this moment he actually opened his small mouth and slept soundly.
Needless to say, this little boy is the little master of the rich family, and the sleeping fat girl is...... Beads!
Xu was full of sleep, Zhuzhu moved her chubby little body, and habitually arched into the young man's arms, but she couldn't smell the familiar warm fragrance on her mother's body.
She arched more and more, and shouted in her mouth, "Mother, mother!" ”
The young man was a little thin, but he couldn't help the fat girl tossing like this, so he whispered, "Little sister, I'm not your mother!" ”
Zhuzhu was startled when she heard an unfamiliar voice, and quickly opened her big eyes.
The cellar was deep, and some of the corners were exposed with broken earth, and some faint light was falling.
Who's this?
Isn't it the brother of the family?
Zhuzhu blinked twice, looked around, and finally remembered that something was wrong.
"Ah, my buns!"
She lowered her head and looked around, but unfortunately there was only a piece of bun dough left in her hand......
"Woo, the bun that grandpa bought for Zhuzhu!" The fat girl was distressed, sniffing the bun dough in her hand, and she was about to shed tears.
She had just grabbed a bun and wanted to take a bite of it secretly.
But something suddenly covered her mouth, and she was so angry that she wanted to cry and didn't know anything......
What about buns?
Grandpa!
