It was better that Luo Baobao didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Yang Huazhong couldn't sit still at all.

"That won't work. I have to go pick her up. Even Qing'er didn't bring her back. Maybe something happened on the road."

Upon hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Mrs. Sun's face immediately turned pale, her lips curled up, and her heart was already beating wildly.

"No way? This...this is already at the door of your house. What can happen?"

While muttering, when she saw Yang Huazhong getting up, she subconsciously lifted one leg out of the heating bucket and put it on the ground.

Wang Cuilian hurriedly advised: "Third child, Qing'er mother, don't think blindly after listening to the baby's words. Nothing will happen. Maybe you met an acquaintance on the road and was delayed..."

"It shouldn't be right." The person who overturned Wang Cuilian's words turned out to be Blacksmith Luo.

"Tomorrow is the day when the three girls leave the palace. Even if Da'an and Xiaohua meet acquaintances on the road, they can only stop and say hello. It is impossible for them to waste time and not come back."

"Grandpa is right, not to mention that my uncle and aunt also have cousins ​​in the car."

Yang Huazhong directly interrupted everyone: "No wait, I'm going to hitch the carriage and get the wind lantern."

"The third child doesn't need to go back and fix those things. I have a ready-made carriage here. Qing'er went out on horseback to pick them up before."

"Okay, then let's use Brother Luo's."

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you, you women stay at home and don't run around."

"Grandpa, Grandpa, let me go with you!"

"No, it's late at night. It's better for you, a girl, to stay at home."

"Grandpa, I am not an ordinary girl. I am going to join the army after the Chinese New Year. Am I afraid of the darkness outside even if I dare to commit murder and arson?"

Yang Huazhong thought for a moment, then turned back and touched Baby Luo's hair and said:

"Baby, you stay with your grandma and grandma. We are not at home, so someone at home has to support us. I can only count on you."

When Yang Huazhong said this, Luo Baobao could accept it.

She glanced at the helpless Sun next to her and Wang Cuilian, who was also distracted, and immediately felt the burden on her shoulders.

"Okay, then I'll stay and protect them. Grandpa, you should also pay attention to your safety!"

…

Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong walked straight ahead in the direction of Qingshui Town. It was nearly fifteen miles from Changping Village to Qingshui Town. After walking nearly seven or eight miles, they met Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er? Why are you alone? Didn't you pick up Daan and the others?"

When Yang Huazhong saw Yang Ruoqing coming this way on horseback, his heart suddenly sank.

Yang Ruoqing also seemed a little confused, which was really rare.

"Uncle, Dad, I'm really sorry. I came to pick him up after noon, but I haven't picked him up yet. So I left two subordinates to search in and around the town, while I led the people to pick them up and picked them up.

After arriving at Qingshui Town, we headed towards Wanghai County along the official road there. We were almost at Baiyan Town, but we still didn’t see them. So we turned back to the town and everyone spread out to look for them again, but still couldn’t find them. I was thinking about it.

Could it be that they passed by each other by accident? So I was planning to go back to the village to see if they had arrived home."

After saying all this, Yang Ruoqing looked at the two people in front of her expectantly, hoping that they were here to deliver good news.

As a result, Blacksmith Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I haven't gone back yet. We have been waiting for news about you at home. Your father can't wait any longer, so we have to come out and take a look."

"So, they haven't gone back yet? How could this happen?"

This time, it was Yang Ruoqing who muttered.

On the way back, Da'an and his friends never lost contact with their family.

The last time I received news, they had entered Wanghai County and were heading towards Qingshui Town.

The public security in Wanghai County has improved a lot compared to many years ago, and incidents like roadblocks and robberies are no longer common.

Especially in the clear sky and white sun, accompanied by followers and guards, it is even less likely that some blind thieves would dare to provoke.

"What kind of situation is this? If it doesn't work, let's go back to the village and find someone to help us find it?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Wanghai County may not be big, but it may be small, especially since this area is very mountainous. It would be bad if Daan, his wife, and their children were abducted into the mountains by bad guys.

"If it doesn't work, we'll report it to the official!" Blacksmith Luo also said.

Yang Ruoqing stood aside. The previous confusion was only temporary. Now when she met Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang and learned the outcome of the matter, Yang Ruoqing calmed down.

"Don't rush to report to the official, and there is no need to go back to the village to call for people. I have sent extra manpower to look for it. There are people from both black and white. I believe there will be news soon." Yang Ruoqing said.

I came here to pick him up before, but the search plan changed an hour ago. I estimate that there will be news soon.

"Qing'er, what shall we do now?" Blacksmith Luo asked again.

Yang Huazhong was so worried that his mind went blank, and he looked anxiously at the night around him.

Yang Ruoqing saw that they had driven the family's luxurious carriage over, so she said: "Pull over the carriage. Let's go back to the carriage to rest and wait for news."

"No, I won't rest. I want to continue looking." Yang Huazhong said.

Yang Ruoqing stopped him: "Dad, I understand your mood, but it's very blind to look for him now. You listen to me and wait here. We will decide how to look for him after we receive the next step of news."

Blacksmith Luo also said: "Lao San, please listen to Qing'er's arrangements. The more times like this, the less likely we are to lose control."

Yang Huazhong thought for a moment and nodded.

Yang Huazhong did not go back to the carriage, but sat in front of the carriage and looked at the road ahead, unblinking, fearing that he would miss something every time he blinked.

Blacksmith Luo stayed by to comfort him.

Yang Ruoqing got into the car first. She had been running around outside all day, and her hands and feet were numb from the cold, and her throat was burning due to lack of water.

The carriage was fully stocked with hot-water charcoal pots and snacks. She drank some water and ate a few snacks to replenish her energy. In the process, she put her gloves on the outer edge of the charcoal pots and baked them for a while.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and she quickly put on her gloves and got out of the car.

Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo stayed outside, but they didn't hear anything.

"My subordinates are back." Yang Ruoqing said, jumped out of the car and stood in the middle of the road waiting.

"I didn't see anyone." Yang Huazhong said in surprise.

"I heard the sound of horse hooves, they are almost there." Yang Ruoqing said again.

Sure enough, Blacksmith Luo soon heard it too: "There is really the sound of horse hooves coming. Look, third brother, there is a black spot on the road over there running towards this way!"
