Luo Fengtang raised his hand and grabbed her hand, "Qing'er, I did get a clue during my trip to the Ministry of War, which is about our Chen'er."

"Really? Where?" she asked in a low voice.

Luo Fengtang said: "Someone reported back that they saw a pair of fishermen with a litter of children in a place called Hekou Village under Huguang County."

"There is a little boy inside, which is somewhat similar to the portrait of Chen'er as an infant that we provided."

"Furthermore, according to the person who provided the clue, the fisherman couple are not from the Hekou Village area,"

"They came from other places, and this period of time coincided with the last rise of the big river near Hekou Village before winter, so many fishing boats passing nearby were fishing there."

After hearing what Luo Fengtang said, Yang Ruoqing immediately said: "No need to hesitate, we will leave immediately for Hekou Village in Huguang County early tomorrow morning!"

After these few days, the water level recedes and the fishing boats disperse, and I don’t know where to look for the fishermen couple.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "Okay, then go to bed quickly and get enough energy to leave early tomorrow morning."

Neither of them had any intention of doing anything else, so they quickly blew out the candles and lay down separately.

Although it is said that you should sleep with enough energy to recharge your batteries for tomorrow.

However, both of them were too excited to sleep.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want to disturb Luo Fengtang, so she slept with her back to him.

In the darkness, his eyes were open, and his cerebral cortex was unusually excited.

Chen'er was less than three months old when she was lost.

As of now, the child is one year and seven months old, and he has been missing for a total of sixteen months, more than four hundred and eighty days!

How she spent these more than 480 days and nights, how many times she woke up from her dreams and wet her pillow with tears, only she knew!

The child has been missing for so long, and there has never been any clues.

Now that she finally had a clue, she couldn't describe her feelings at the moment.

Even with a belly full of ink, it seems that I can't describe my mood at this moment.

I'm just looking forward to this day, it will get brighter soon, and it will get brighter soon...

"Qing'er, you haven't fallen asleep yet?"

In the darkness, Luo Fengtang's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Isn't it the same for you!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang was silent for a moment and then spoke again:

"I didn't want to tell you originally," he said suddenly.

"Why?" she asked, turning over and facing him.

The light was dim, but her night vision was good. As long as she opened her eyes and concentrated, she could still clearly see the outline of his face and feel his expression when he said these words.

"Are you afraid that I can't bear the hope, disappointment, ups and downs of joy and sorrow, so you want to secretly go to Hekou Village in Huguang County to look for me without telling me?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang said 'hmm'.

"It's always good to have clues, but we must also be mentally prepared in two ways..."

His words were rather euphemistic, but Yang Ruoqing understood them clearly.

She sighed softly, leaned her body against him, and hugged him gently.

"If it's really Chen'er, then thank God."

"If, if the joy is in vain, I will not give up. I will be disappointed at most, but I will continue to look for it. Don't worry, I will not be defeated by disappointment!"

Hearing her firm words, Luo Fengtang breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, when he came back from the county, he had been hesitating and struggling in his heart until before.

I wanted to surprise her, but I was worried that she would be hurt twice.

But in the end, I still didn't want to hide it from her.

In the darkness, Yang Ruoqing's voice sounded again: "I know you are doing it for my own good. You want to bring me the most reliable good news. You don't want me to experience those hopes and then be disappointed."

"But, Tang Yazi, I accept your hard work. But in reality, I don't allow you to do this."

"I need to know all the clues. I am Chen'er's mother. I need to know everything. I also have to experience and bear everything."

"If you hide this from me and bear this alone, if I find out, I will really be angry. Do you understand?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang sighed, "It's precisely because I know your character that I didn't want to hide it from you after thinking about it."

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "This is so good. This is my dear husband."

"hehe……"

In the darkness, Luo Fengtang also chuckled, freed up a hand and stroked Yang Ruoqing's hair.

"It's very late, go to bed, we have to travel tomorrow," he said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I couldn't sleep. I just kept my eyes open and waited for dawn."

Luo Fengtang was silent for a moment and said: "I really can't sleep, so why don't we set off overnight. We should be able to reach Huguang County by breakfast tomorrow!"

Yang Ruoqing turned over and sat up: "Instead of taking the carriage, the two of us will go there on horseback, it will be faster!"

Luo Fengtang disagreed, "It will be very cold when riding a horse now. If you go there in a carriage, you can still take a nap in the car."

"But, driver, you are still very cold..." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang said: "I'm not afraid of the cold. Come on, get up and get ready. I'll go to the front yard and tell my mother and I'll come back to pick you up!"

"Okay, then remember to put on that big cloak to keep out the wind!" she warned.

"Yes!" He responded, and the couple quickly got out of bed and started to move on their own.

At this time, everyone in the village fell into a deep sleep.

Converting the time to modern Beijing time, this time point should be after twelve o'clock at night and almost to one o'clock in the morning.

There are still more than three hours until dawn.

More than three hours were enough for them to arrive in Huguang County.

As soon as the two of them set off, Tuoba Xian at home couldn't sleep either.

The woman was lying on the bed, looking at Baby Luo, who was lying sideways on the bed with his butt sticking out, sleeping soundly. The woman's heart was filled with ups and downs.

Every time I see my precious granddaughter, I will think of the lost precious grandson.

The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. I watched my granddaughter grow up and make progress little by little with my own eyes.

Learn to call people, learn to eat, learn to be cute and coquettish in various ways...

She felt both happy and sad at the same time.

I can't help but think about the other child. What is he doing at the moment? How is he doing?

Is there such progress? Does anyone feel pain?

Or, being abused? Bullied? Suffering from hunger?

I dare not think about it. Once I think about it, I will feel sad for a long time.

I can't be completely happy myself.

Sometimes, she even wonders, has she done something wrong in her life? God wants to punish herself like this.

When I was young, I gave up too many things because of a love that I thought was unforgettable.

Delayed youth...

The son who has been separated for nineteen years...

The imperial power has been usurped, hate it.

But there are gains and losses. At least during my lifetime, I can still share a family relationship in this quiet rural village and feel the feeling of having children and grandchildren around me.

But who would have thought that the grandson would be lost again!

If possible, she would rather exchange her remaining life and vitality for it.

All she wants is for Chen'er to return. She doesn't want everyone in the world anymore.
