"Sigh, it's the children who went out to play in the courtyard this morning. They haven't returned home yet. Their families have gone out to look for them, but they haven't been able to find them," said the sister-in-law. "Zhaodi's grandmother went with everyone to the village to ask. The villagers also said that the children went out in the morning to look for their classmates in the courtyard. They haven't returned since."
"How could that be?" Cheng Kam Nian looked a little surprised.
"Who knows where these children went?" The sister-in-law shook her head. "We also went out to look for them. We just came back and couldn't find the children. Auntie Wang was worried that the children went to the river, so we went to the river to look for them, but we still couldn't find them. Now, even the children's parents in the village are looking for them. We don't know where this large group of children went."
"Could it be that they went to town?" Lu Xingzhi guessed. "Otherwise, no matter where they went to play, it wouldn't take them so long."
The children went out early in the morning not long after breakfast. It was almost four o 'clock in the afternoon. Where did they go to play? They should be back by now. They said that they went to town and walked all the way there. It would take a long time to walk back.
"That can't be, right? The children didn't bring much money with them. What could they do in town? " The auntie beside him shook her head. "I don't think they're going to town. These kids don't have the guts to go to town without telling their parents. Besides, they don't have any classmates or friends in town. What can they play in town?"
"That's right. They don't have money. They can't buy anything to eat. It's useless to go to town," someone else agreed.
"Then where could they have gone?" Jiang Yao muttered, then looked at Lu Xingzhi.
Before taking a nap, Jiang Yao told Lu Xingzhi what Cheng Kam Nian said in the morning. Then, Lu Xingzhi immediately arranged for people to investigate. She didn't know if they had found anything.
Now that she heard that the children who went out in the morning didn't know where they went, Jiang Yao also started to worry.
Lu Xingzhi touched the back of Jiang Yao's hand and said softly, "They're all children around the same age. Even if there's a problem, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Jiang Yao nodded, then followed Lu Xingzhi to another place for a walk.
When they passed by the Jiang family's house, they happened to see Grandma Jiang.
The old lady searched for the whole afternoon but couldn't find them. Just as everyone had guessed, she suspected that the children had gone to town to play. When she came back, she was angry and scolding. When the two siblings came back, she would hang them up and give them a good beating.
"The younger brother doesn't know any better, and the older sister doesn't know any better. How dare they go to such a faraway town to play at such a young age? I'll definitely break their legs tonight!" Grandma Jiang angrily scolded them as she went home. She was so angry that she didn't even notice Jiang Yao and the others who were a few steps away. She slammed the door shut.
Compared to Grandma Jiang's angry appearance, Auntie Wang cried all the way home. When she saw Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao, she didn't even have time to wipe her tears.
