Chapter 64 The old man really guessed wrong this time!
Mr. Tai doesn't care about his wealth, he just wants his granddaughter to come back safely.

It doesn't matter whether the blind man's calculations are accurate or not. At this time, these words are the best reassurance.

He reached into his bosom, wanting to get the money, but found that they were all left at the tea stand.

The blind man "saw" his embarrassment and smiled and waved his hands.

"Brother, we are destined. One day in the future, we will meet again. At that time, brother will help me as well."

The old man hurriedly responded, and said a few more words, Tai Jizong had already brought all the villagers here.

Mr. Tai San's hat was on its side. He grabbed the old brother's hand and shouted, "What's going on? Have you found Zhuzhu?"

The old man shook his head, and looked at his elder son and daughter-in-law whose eyes were swollen from crying. He was so ashamed that he wished he could die.

Yang Lihua's hands in her sleeves pinched her wrists tightly, so she stopped crying, and instead began to persuade the old man.

"Dad, don't get angry. That child Zhuzhu is lucky. He didn't cry before going out. He will be fine for sure."

Others could not understand these words, but the old man felt a little more relieved.

Every time something bad happens, the granddaughter will have a dream.

There is nothing strange about the granddaughter this time, so nothing will happen.

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 when he opened his mouth.

Third Master Tai was also very anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Sixth child, how do you think we will find a child? We must hurry up, and I am afraid it will be dark in another hour!"

More than 40 people, old and young, from the clan came, and they all shouted at this time.

"Uncle Six, hurry up and allocate a place to us. We will definitely find Zhuzhu back!"

"Zhuzhu is a child with great fortune and destiny, so he will definitely be fine."

"Yes, yes! Maybe it's around here, let's do it quickly!"

The passers-by who were onlookers couldn't help being envious when they saw that everyone in the Tai family was so united.

These days, there are clansmen to rely on, and they can stay together for warmth and survival, and they are not afraid even if something happens to them. They are full of confidence.

At this time, Tai Jiye also brought two official messengers over.

Speaking of which, he was actually an acquaintance. It was the official who had been to the broken courtyard in the north of the city when he was investigating the killing of Li Laosan and the others.

The old man hurriedly saluted and said, "I'd like to ask you two officials to take a trip. I'm really worried about losing my child at home. If there's any lack of care, I hope you can forgive me."

The two officials waved their hands. Last time the Tai family gave a lot of money for their hard work, and the Tai family also registered in front of the county magistrate because of the ice sculptures. What if next winter, the Tai family will also carve ice lanterns for the county government.

It's not bad for them to make friends now.

So, one of the officials whispered, "Uncle, don't worry too much. Let's look for the child first. If we can't find it, we'll go back and report it, and then we'll ask the county magistrate to make a decision."

Mr. Tai was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Because the child has only been missing for more than an hour, if it is an own error, it is really not good to alert the county magistrate first!

After everyone said a few more words, they assigned positions, scattered around, and searched carefully.

With the Tai family running all over the city, and under the heavy reward again, almost everyone in the city knew that they had lost their children.

Some people followed to watch the excitement, but more people were vigilant, especially the women of various families, who wanted to call the child to the front immediately to make sure that the child was still by their side.

As a result, as soon as the sun set to the west, the children playing in the streets and alleys were reluctantly dragged back home.

And this pull, really found the problem.

A young master from a wealthy family in the south of the city said he went to the street to buy pens and ink, but he never returned.

The servants in the family searched like crazy, which is even worse than the posture of the Tai family.

What made the Tai family even more happy was that this family also had connections. After confirming that the young master could not be found, they directly asked the county magistrate.

The county magistrate ordered the city gates to be closed, and then sent servants to inquire from door to door.

The family even offered a reward of 200 taels, just to find the trace of the young master.

After the Tai family knew about it, they felt even more hopeful!

Only old man Tai was still worried, because even if there were kidnappers in the city, his granddaughter might not fall into their hands.

The mastermind behind the scenes might threaten him with the safety of his granddaughter instead of reselling it through kidnappers...

But this time, he really guessed wrong!
In a dilapidated courtyard in the north of the city, the three adobe houses in the main building had collapsed due to the rain, but the one and a half warehouses in the back were still in good condition.

At this moment, the three men gathered together, eating roast chicken and steamed buns while warming their stomachs.

One of the fat men frowned, bit the chicken leg hard, and cursed in a low voice, "It's really dangerous this time, and it's all my fault that I shouldn't be greedy for money. If I kidnap that dead girl, I'll go and exchange that person's silver. They are all out of the city gate, how much An Ansheng traded."

Another thin man was also worried, but he persuaded him, "Boss, don't say that. That kid is so well dressed, and the jade pendants around his waist are all made of fine suet jade. He is really a big fat sheep! Everyone who sees him wants to kidnap him back." !

"Besides, one sheep is also sent out of the city, and two sheep are not difficult. We are also happy to make a fortune."

The last man had a sharp face and a big black mole on his chin. He was even more indifferent and agreed, "What the second brother said is that the eldest brother doesn't need to worry about it. Let's wait until after dark and see the situation.

"There are only a few servants in the government office who are all stupid. If you want to search the whole city, it will take three to five days. If there is no problem with our secret passage, we will take the fat sheep out of the city and fly away. If the brat is killed, no one will find us!"

The fat man in the lead took two "reassurance pills", and his complexion improved a lot.

The three of them counted, and they ate, drank, talked and laughed, without any sense of guilt at all...

In the corner of the yard outside the house, there is an inconspicuous stone, a wooden plank is pressed under the stone, and an abandoned vegetable cellar is under the wooden plank.

A ten-year-old boy sat in a corner with a frightened expression on his face. The brocade underwear he was wearing was now stained with mud. The gold-embroidered belt around his waist was torn off, and the underwear was a little loose. , the golden ring on the head is gone, and the hair is disheveled.

He held a little girl in his arms, and her clothes were fairly neat, but at this moment, she actually opened her small mouth and slept soundly.

Needless to say, this young boy is the young master of a rich family, and the fat sleeping girl is... Zhuzhu!
Maybe she was full of sleep, so Zhuzhu moved her chubby little body and leaned into the boy's arms habitually, but she couldn't smell the familiar warm fragrance on her mother's body.

So she arched back and forth more and more, yelling, "Mother, mother!"

The boy was a bit thin and weak, but he couldn't help the fat girl tossing about 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 eyes.

The cellar is very deep, some corners of the top have exposed broken soil, and some faint light has also fallen.

Who is this?
Isn't he the elder brother in the family?

Zhuzhu blinked twice, looked around, and finally remembered what was wrong.

"Ah, my bun!"

She lowered her head and looked around, but unfortunately there was only a piece of bun dough left in her hand...

"Hey, the steamed stuffed bun that grandpa bought for Zhuzhu!" The fat girl was so distressed that she sniffed the skin of the steamed stuffed bun in her hand, and she was about to cry.

She obviously just grabbed a bun and wanted to sneak a bite.

But something suddenly covered her mouth, and she was so angry that she didn't know anything if she wanted to cry...

What about buns?
Grandpa!
