Chapter 218: The General's Mansion Goes Flooding, and the Child Goes Missing
According to the original dark one, the force that kidnapped the child was not an ordinary trafficker.
Chu Yunxi thought of this, picked up her feet and ran, although the child was raised in her mother's yard, but every day she went to ask her mother to say goodbye, she would go to see the child.
Every time the child saw her, he giggled and reached out to her to hug her, and she had already regarded the child as family. also gave him a milk name, called Huan'er.
Her family is in danger, how can she be safe alone?
Hexiang, Xiaolian, and Dark One all followed closely behind Chu Yunxi, for fear that she would be injured.
When Chu Yunxi got out of the courtyard, she found that the situation was even worse than she thought.
Everywhere there were people running around with buckets. No one bothered to salute her.
Obviously, she had already reminded her father that she had sent additional guards to defend her, how did the arson thief sneak in?
Chu Yunxi was in a state of chaos and saw Steward Cao who was directing his subordinates to extinguish the fire.
"Uncle Cao, Uncle Cao." She shouted twice, and Steward Cao heard it and hurriedly ran over. Touching the sweat on his head.
"Miss, why did you come out? Be careful not to run around. ”
"Uncle Cao, are you all right?"
The house can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, Chu Yunxi only cares about whether people are okay.
"The old lady is out, it's okay."
Steward Cao knew that Chu Yunxi was worried, and simply said the point.
"What about Mama Hao and the child? Did they come out? Chu Yunxi asked anxiously.
Steward Cao's face changed, all of them were regretful, and patted his thigh.
"Miss, that child, that child is gone."
"How could it be gone?"
Chu Yunxi's heart jumped suddenly, and his palms were instantly covered with sweat. Could it really be that this calamity came to the child, as she thought?
Steward Cao was also at a loss.
"When the guards went in to save people, they only found Mama Hao who was in a hurry, and they looked all over the house, but there was no trace of the child, and the fire spread too fast, so they had to retreat first."
As soon as his words fell, Chu Yunxi had already run towards the courtyard of General Chu and Mrs. Chu.
"Alas, Miss, it's dangerous over there, so don't go!"
Steward Cao's shouting, Chu Yunxi suddenly heard it, and all he thought about was whether the child was still alive.
When they got closer, the flames were already rising into the sky, and the wooden houses were already most afraid of running water, and if they encountered a little wind, they would soon be in patches. Chu Yunxi's heart was even more flustered.
After entering the courtyard, she finally saw General Chu and Mrs. Chu, and she hurriedly ran forward.
"Father, mother."
The two turned around, Mrs. Chu was already crying in a hurry, and when she saw Chu Yunxi, she couldn't control her emotions.
"Xi'er, what can I do about this? Huan'er was not found. How can you leave that child in the care of your mother? ”
Mrs. Chu was really flustered, and she didn't know who to ask for this, so she vomited it all to her daughter.
"Crown princess, the slave and maid are guilty of death, you kill the slave and maid."
Mama Hao, who was rescued, also ran over and knelt at Chu Yunxi's feet, crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken, her face was covered with black ash, and there were burns on her arms, Chu Yunxi couldn't recognize her.
"Mama Hao, don't cry, tell me first, what's going on? Why didn't the child have it? Didn't the maid who kept vigil see him either? ”
Chu Yunxi wanted to pull up Mama Hao, but Mama Hao felt guilty, so she was willing to get up, so she only knelt and cried.
"The crown princess, the slave maid, the slave and the maid obviously put the little boy to sleep, so she fell asleep. But when the slave heard someone shouting that the water had gone away, she got up and went to hug the little boy, but she couldn't find the little boy. The maid who kept vigil fainted and has not woken up yet. ”
Mama Hao also thought about it over and over again, but she didn't understand why the child didn't have it.
"Xi'er, the guards have gone in twice, even your father has gone in once, but they haven't found Huan'er, you said he is a child who can't walk, where can he go? Now that the fire has risen, the kid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's ......."
Mrs. Chu wanted to say that there was more luck and less luck, but she really couldn't say it, and her heart hurt terribly.
Chu Yunxi held his mother's cold hand, and his heart was also cold. If no one is found in the house, then they can only be taken captive.
But now that the general's mansion is heavily guarded, how did the thieves avoid the guards and take the child away from Mama Hao?
Chu Yunxi looked at his mother's bulging belly, stabilized his emotions, and said comfortingly:
"Mother, you go and rest first, I am here."
"And us."
Chu Wenzhong, Chu Wenhong, and Chu Wenjin also came from the front yard at this time.
"Sister, you accompany your mother to rest, there are brothers here."
Chu Wenzhong said.
But where can Chu Yunxi rest with peace of mind, and looked at Hexiang and Xiaolian behind him, "You go and help take care of your mother." ”
"Yes, miss."
Hexiang and Xiaolian, together with Mrs. Chu's personal maid Chunyue, supported Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu shook her head, leaving here, she would be even more anxious.
"I'm not leaving, I'm just waiting here, waiting to find Huan'er."
"Madam, for the sake of the child in your belly, you should also take care of your health." The maid Chunyue persuaded.
General Chu, who had been frowning and checking the situation, also took Mrs. Chu's hand and patted it, and said comfortingly:
"If there is any news, Weifu will send someone to inform you as soon as possible. Listen to the children, go and rest, don't let the children worry. ”
Mrs. Chu didn't insist anymore, wiped her tears, held her somewhat sore waist, and left under the escort of the maids.
"Zhong'er, you take people, surround the general's mansion, don't let go of every corner, and search carefully."
General Chu was loyal to Chu Wen.
"Yes, father."
Chu Wenzhong's order to his father was like executing a military order, and he didn't ask the reason, he went to do it immediately.
"Hong'er and Jin'er, you go and gather all the people in this courtyard, interrogate what they were doing when the fire started, and find out the suspicious people."
"Yes, father."
Chu Wenhong and Chu Wenjin did not delay, and they were busy with their own work.
Only Chu Yunxi remained, looked at General Chu and asked:
"Father, do you think it's not an external thief, it's an internal ghost?"
"If you let the thieves kidnap the child from this courtyard, and you don't know anything about your father, then wouldn't the general who is your father do it in vain?"
Chu Yunxi was stunned, she didn't care about things on the battlefield in her previous life, and her father rarely mentioned it in front of her, but she forgot that her father relied on his exploits on the battlefield, with real swords and guns, and fought for the title of General of the Protector of the Country.
Hope rose in Chu Yunxi's heart, if it was really as his father thought, Huan'er's child might still be in the general's mansion.
"Sir." A little guy came running to report the news.
"Haowangfu saw the fire and sent someone to help put out the fire."
General Chu's tense nerves eased.
"Steward Cao, go pick it up."
"Yes, sir."
Steward Cao listened to the order and trotted to pick up people. His old bones are really a good toss today.
"Father, I'm going to look for Huan'er too."
Chu Yunxi was anxious, and after making a salute, he was about to look around.
