During dinner, a pigeon flew into the main room of the Luo family and stopped on the beam, squinting its little eyes at the family below who were preparing to have dinner.

When the family saw the dove, they were more excited than seeing gold falling from the sky.

Luo Baobao was so agile that he stepped on the stool and jumped up to the roof beam. After grabbing the pigeon, he fell back to the ground steadily.

The family is not surprised by her behavior.

People in the village only thought that Luo Fengtang was a general, so they would occasionally teach their daughter a few physical exercises. They also thought that the girl would just practice a few times when she remembered, and no one in the village would pay attention to this.

In fact, only family members know how serious and persistent Luo Baobao is, regardless of the cold or heat, he never relaxes every day.

Although her talent in martial arts is not as good as Chen'er's, she is already very good compared to most people.

It's hard to find a few people in Daqi who can compete with Chen'er's talent. Moreover, he is only thirteen years old, so his room for improvement is worth looking forward to.

The topic returned to Luo Baobao. Yang Ruoqing competed with her and won three out of five games. There was no leakage. She was very satisfied and felt relieved to let her fly over the walls at home.

"Mom, give me a pigeon."

Luo Baobao presented the pigeon to Yang Ruoqing as if it was a treasure, and glanced at the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's ankle.

There seems to be a small note inside. It must be news from my uncle!

"Um."

Yang Ruoqing took the pigeon, took out the note, and then handed the pigeon back to Luo Baobao: "It's tired, feed it some water and grain, and let it go back to the house to rest."

"okay!"

Baby Luo held the pigeon in his hands and went to do these things.

She left the main room, and the giant teddy that was squatting at the table and the cat lying on the stool all followed her into the yard.

These little animals in the house are all her good friends, and they follow her wherever she goes.

Everyone around the dinner table remained silent in tacit agreement, their eyes all falling on Yang Ruoqing who was reading the note.

There were only two short sentences on the note. After scanning it, Yang Ruoqing showed a bit of doubt on her face.

"What did it say? Is there any news about Xiao An?" Blacksmith Luo couldn't help but ask.

Yang Ruoqing hesitated, "A little bit, but not sure."

"Ah? How do you say this?" Blacksmith Luo asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "The people I sent went to Juxian Town to investigate, but found no trace of Xiao An and He Qingsong."

"Isn't this a good thing? It means they have never been to Juxian Town at all!" Blacksmith Luo said.

Yang Ruoqing added: "But another group of people I sent to Xiushui Town to inquire about information met with the people who went to Juxian Town and said that Xiao An and He Qingsong had finished their errands a few days ago and left for home. Qing'an County, judging by the time, they should pass near Juxian Town before and after the landslide."

Blacksmith Luo and the others were also confused.

It’s really hard to say. Maybe you’re lucky and have already passed through Juxian Town.

But since we passed Juxian Town, several days had passed since the landslide, and it was time to reach home.

Since we haven't arrived home, then... no one dares to say anything unlucky, for fear of making Yang Ruoqing more worried.

"Sister, I'll go find Narisong and ask him to prepare and be ready to go at any time."

After saying these words, Liu Xueyun stood up and left the yard.

When we arrived in the yard, we heard Luo Baobao's voice: "Uncle, where are you going?"

Liu Xueyun is still a little shy about the title uncle.

"I'm going to see your uncle Narisong to discuss something."

"I am coming too."

"Don't you want to eat?"

"No rush, we will eat together when we come back later. Mom, I went to Uncle Song's house that day."

Yang Ruoqing didn't care about her at all, she answered absentmindedly, sat down and continued to explain the matter to Blacksmith Luo and the others.

"I will go to Juxian Town early tomorrow morning with Xueyun and Narisong to find Xiaoan. When my parents ask about it later, uncle, please don't tell anyone about the carrier pigeon."

Blacksmith Luo said: "Qing'er, I'll go too, it will be nice to have more people and helpers."

Yang Ruoqing forced out a laugh and shook her head: "I can't live without my uncle at home, not to mention there are my subordinates waiting for me in Juxian Town, so they can help me enough."

Tuoba Xian pondered for a moment, "Would you like to inform Feng Tang about this matter?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head decisively: "He is busy with military affairs, so I won't tell him about this yet."

"Okay then." Tuoba Xian also fell silent.

The next day, before dawn, three fast horses left Changping Village kicking up dust and galloped towards Juxian Town in the south.

Eating dry food, drinking water, and even sleeping were all done on horseback. It took three days, really only three days for the three of them to arrive at Juxian Town.

The last time she passed through Juxian Town was several years ago. Yang Ruoqing had a vague impression of this small town located at the foot of the mountain with official roads running through the center.

I only vaguely remember that this town is not big and cannot be compared with Qingshui Town.

When the transport team goes to Xiushui Town in the South, and passes through Juxian Town, it can resupply at the inn next to the carriage and horse shop at the entrance of the town.

Although the town is small, it has complete facilities for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the smell of fireworks is very strong.

But at this moment, the desolate land in front of us really looks like a Shura field.

"This flash flood is really terrible. Half of the town was buried."

Risong was riding on horseback that day, looking ahead. The rough man from the north was really shocked.

The official road passes through the town, and the rows of houses on the half side next to the foot of the mountain have all been reduced to flat ground. Mud, stones, and tall trees have covered everything that was originally full of life under the heavy soil.

.

The house opposite the official road was also hit and a large area collapsed. On these ruins, the remaining people refused to leave and tried every means to move away from the mountain that was pressing on their relatives and friends.

Whether alive or dead, we must find out...

"It's too messy here, and it's hard for people from the Yamen to help." Risong frowned and said again.

"And you can't find anyone in such a chaotic search. No one knows what's going on in the house underneath. It might cause secondary or tertiary damage. Hey, that's the bad thing about living at the foot of a mountain. There are a few heavy rains.

The mudslide came down. Fortunately, Changping Village is some distance away from the foot of the mountain, but Yujia Village is hard to say..."

Liu Xueyun also looked solemn as he listened to those heart-wrenching cries.

He did not respond to Risong's noisy words, but instead turned his gaze away from the miserable ruins in the distance and landed on Yang Ruoqing.

"Sister, what should we do next?"

They came here at starry night not to discuss how to rescue the scene, but to find Xiao An and Xiao An's friends.
