However, Second Uncle said, "But I, your son, mother, and I, have searched the entire village, even the surrounding hills, but could not find a shadow. Bright and bright, this child is quite sensible, and normally won't run far away. The kids he was playing with told me that Mingliang had gone to pee at the haystack at the entrance to the village, but he never came back … "What should we do now, big brother …"
While talking, Second Uncle almost cried out loud. He was truly anxious.
My mother consoled her. "His second uncle, don't worry. He's already so bright, so he definitely won't be taken away by the traffickers. Don't worry, we'll find him with our help. He definitely won't lose him …"
However, Second Uncle said: "It's the new year and I'm really in trouble with Big Brother and Sister-in-law. How could I not be worried? A few days ago, I lost a child of Old Zhang's family, but we still haven't found him. His child is about the same age as Liang Liang, and he's lost his bright self now. I'm really afraid that this child won't be able to find him …"
Second Uncle was being consoled by my parents, while I tried to persuade him.
With that, the big guys left the courtyard together. Dad told me to inform my third and fourth uncle that the best course of action would be to trigger everyone in the village to search for them.
On the night of New Year's Eve, it was indeed a surprise to see such a thing happen. Brilliant that this kid was my cousin, quite a quick-witted child, very sensible, and had always been one of the top students in the class. It was impossible for such a sensible child to secretly go out and play, and not even tell his family about it.
I had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.
Even more incredible was the fact that the village had disappeared along with the second child, the kind of person who dealt with peddlers and filmmakers and would normally not have attacked a teenager. They usually looked for children two or three years old who didn't know anything, so that he wouldn't remember where his home was.
It's the first time I've heard of abducting an eleven-year-old boy.
However, no matter what, she is still my younger cousin, so I have to put my heart into it. Even if she is a child in the village, I must do my best to help her.
At this moment, I called out to the eldest senior brother and quickly ran over to Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle's house and explained the situation to them. Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle also felt very shocked when they heard this news and immediately went out to gather some people.
According to what Second Uncle said, the child hasn't been missing for too long, it's just two to three hours. Our village is a mountainous area, so it's not easy to find a car.
Very soon, this event alarmed the entire village. Apart from the elderly, children, and women, all the men were dispatched.
There were people driving cars at home, and some of them were heading toward the main roads. There were also people driving tricycles, which were emitting black smoke as they drove very quickly.
Most of them still held their flashlights and led their big wolfdogs around the village in groups of three or five.
Eldest Martial Brother and I followed Second Uncle and headed towards the place where Mingliang didn't see us at the start.
First we went to the back of the haystack and found that there were traces of someone urinating in that place, and it was still wet under the haystack. Because it was winter and the weather was cold, there was still some ice on the grass.
The Eldest Senior Brother squatted down, wanting to find out if there were any other footprints, but with so many people here, even if they found them, they wouldn't be able to find them. Moreover, it was winter and the ground was frozen solid.
This was going to be difficult. In two to three hours, it could be considered long or short. If they were driving someone away, they would probably be hundreds of miles away by now.
However, I still felt that it was a bit strange. What on earth could an eleven or twelve-year-old child be doing if he was kidnapped?
Second Uncle and Second Aunt were crying in anxiety, constantly calling out their bright names, their throats turning hoarse.
I was also extremely anxious. I followed eldest senior brother in searching the entire mountain, but I still couldn't find anything. Standing on the mountain slope, I could see that the village was lit up in all directions by a flashlight.
I probably couldn't find anyone near the village, so I was a little disheartened. However, the eldest senior brother's expression was dark and I didn't know what he was thinking.
I hastily replied, "Eldest senior brother, you've been together with master for so many years. Have you learned any secret methods to find people? If you have, why don't you use it as soon as possible?" "He is the child of my second uncle, my younger cousin. No matter what price he has to pay, he must definitely find him."
The eldest senior brother raised his head to look at me before stroking his black beard and said seriously, "Let's go back to the haystack to take a look. Maybe we can find a way …"
"Haven't we seen everything near the haystack? There's nothing at all. Isn't it a waste of time for us to go over there?" I wondered.
"Don't worry about it. You'll know once you get there. Don't waste time …" With that, the eldest senior brother quickly ran down the mountain.
I took out everything I had learned, and with a flash, Big Senior and I started jumping back and forth in the mountains like two apes. After a short while, I followed Big Senior to the haystack that my cousin had lost.
Initially, my body was still quite weak. However, after staying at home for almost a week, my body had almost fully recovered. Furthermore, I have been cultivating every day, and my Dantian is also very full.
Arriving at the grassy area, the Eldest Senior Brother still walked to the place where my younger cousin had peed. He squatted down and used his hand to wipe off some of the slightly damp soil.
I didn't know what Eldest Senior Brother was doing, so I went up and asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, what are you doing? It's more important to find a child. "
The eldest senior brother turned around and looked at me before saying seriously, "I know we're looking for the child, but shouldn't we first find out who kidnapped the child?"
With that, the eldest senior brother turned on the flashlight and pointed at a small patch of grass. He said, "Little junior brother, come here and take a look. There is a strange footprint here …"
