Chapter 45 The snake can protect him

Shen Jing chased for a few steps and shouted loudly: "Sister Niannian, go to the county to find your second uncle and the others. Don't run around alone."

 Seeing Shen Nian wave her hand from a distance, Shen Jing knew she heard her and went home worriedly.

I don't know if the villagers have found Brother Man.

Shen Nian didn't know that the village organizers had gone to the county to find people ahead of her. She hurried on, not as fast as riding a horse but faster than riding a bullock cart.

When the two sticks of incense arrived, Shen Nian stopped at the city gate.

 The city gate, which used to be orderly, was a little chaotic today.

"Auntie, what's going on in front of you? Why is it so slow?" Shen Nian asked a woman in front of her.

The woman turned around and saw that it was a little girl. Her newly raised vigilance faded away and she whispered: "I heard that kidnappers appeared in the city and many children were kidnapped. The county magistrate ordered people to seal the city gate. , looking for someone everywhere."

Shen Nian glanced ahead and saw that there were too many people and saw nothing, "Then we can't enter the city now?"

The woman had already found out and said, "I can't get in but I can't get out. It's a mess inside. I said the inspection was very detailed, so it was slow."

  Shen Nian calmed down.

 As long as the person does not leave the city, there is still hope of finding him.

The woman also had children at home, and she hated the kidnapper the most. She kept cursing, "God **** kidnapper! If God has eyes, these people should be cut off from their children."

"It's a good thing that today is the last day of the Nine Emperors Club. The county has arranged the closing activities and everyone has returned to the city to have fun. Otherwise, there would be no chance for those children to come back."

Shen Nian deeply agreed with this statement.

Knowing the situation in the city, she squeezed to the front, paid twenty coppers to change places with a man in shabby clothes, and entered the city smoothly.

"Sister Nian." The villagers of Zhuxi Village who were guarding the city gate shouted when they saw Shen Nian.

Shen Nian heard the voice and walked over, "Uncle, why are you here? Where are my mother and the others?"

"Your mother fainted before, and now she is probably waiting for news at the gate of the county government office. Your father, uncle and uncle are looking for Man Manguo everywhere in the city..."

As for him, he was guarding the city gate, mainly because he was worried that if the county magistrate failed to withstand the pressure, he suddenly opened the city gate and allowed the kidnapping gang to slip out of the city.

Shen Nian didn't expect that the people in the village were so kind-hearted that they would go through all the trouble to come to the city to help find someone.

She has never experienced this kind of friendship between neighbors, and it makes people feel... quite warm in her heart.

"Thank you, uncle, I'll go find my mother first."

 Village: "Sure, the city is not stable, please pay attention to safety."

Shen Nian responded, "I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the county government office.

 Without a stick of incense, Shen Nian came to the gate of the county government office.

In the past, no one dared to stay at the county government gate for a while, but now there were actually a lot of people, and everyone had a slumped face and a flustered expression.

Li Xiuniang was worried about her youngest son and could not sit still. She stood in front of the carriage and walked in circles.

Seeing Sister Nian's figure, her face changed slightly, and she ran over and grabbed her daughter's hand, "Sister Nian, why are you here? There is a lot of chaos in the county, you shouldn't come."

Shen Nian didn't want to argue anymore and changed the subject: "Where are my father and my brother?"

Li Xiuniang pressed her heart hard to calm herself down, and then said, "I'm going to find Brother Man."

 "Why is Brother Man missing?" Shen Nian asked again.

Li Xiuniang's eyes were red and almost bloodshot, and she said bitterly: "...Your eldest and second brothers and I finished selling the goods and were packing our things. We just turned our heads and Brother Man disappeared."

Beside him, the woman who also lost her child had red and swollen eyes and said, "My son was kidnapped in the same way. He just turned around and the baby disappeared."

"Uuuuuuuuuuah, if I can't find the child, I might as well die. God, please give me my son back, even if it takes my life..."

Looking at the sky getting darker and darker, but her son was still missing, the woman completely broke her guard and collapsed on the ground crying.

 Others saw this and felt despair, wiping away tears.

Li Xiuniang thought it was useless to cry, so she kept holding on.

At this time, listening to the sounds around me, tears flowed from my eyes.

Shen Nian couldn't stand it anymore and comforted him: "Mom, Brother Man will be fine. Mom, do you still remember the little snake I gave her? That snake can protect him."

　　Even though the snake is small, it can't handle people's physical agility, and its venom is also very powerful.

 There is no problem for Brother Man to protect himself. Li Xiuniang felt hope in her heart, tears hung on her face, and she looked at her blankly, "But the snake is so small..."

"It's small, but it's very poisonous. If Brother Man is smart enough, it won't be a problem to escape with that snake."

Li Xiuniang asked smoothly: "Then what if he is not smart?"

  Shen Nian: "…"

Li Xiuniang met her daughter's incomprehensible look. She moved her eyes away and said as if to cheer herself up: "Well, Brother Man will definitely escape."

at this time.

At the end of the street, a group of people wearing police uniforms suddenly appeared.

 "People have found—"

The people who were crying were stunned, with tears and runny noses hanging on their faces. The scene was a bit funny.

 The next moment, I saw the familiar children appearing behind the policeman.

　　One by one, they ran towards the children like crazy.

 "My son!"

"Ingots…"

"My son is back, he is really my son, woo woo woo, thank God…"

 …

Shen Nian helped Li Xiuniang go over and found that Shen Er and the others were also there.

While her mother was holding Brother Man and caring for him, she asked Shen Kun in a low voice: "Second brother, tell me, what's going on?"

Shen Kun had just experienced an event that he thought was earth-shattering, and this was the time when his desire to share was strong.

Hearing Shen Nian ask, he said, "You don't know, that was a risk just now."

But it turns out that after Brother Man was nowhere to be found, Shen Er was afraid that the government officials would be unreliable, so he asked Shen Kun to go back to the village and find someone to come to the county to help find him.

The people in the village were really helpful, and most families had people coming to the city in a hurry.

 Looking for it street by street.

At the same time, the county government also sent people to conduct inquiries one by one.

Shen Kun was brave and followed the policeman to look for someone.

When he checked into a house, he suddenly heard a frightened wailing coming from the backyard. With a sharp look in his eyes, the police chief asked his subordinates to tie up the person who opened the door, pulled out his knife and walked towards the backyard.

 Kicking open the door, there were people inside, including girls and children. They were all tied tightly and their mouths were gagged.

There were three other men lying on the ground in a daze. There was also a man and a woman who turned pale after seeing the officials. They held their heads like quails and shrank toward the corner.

  The chief of the police subconsciously scanned the people in the room.

 When he saw a woman with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament, he breathed a sigh of relief.

 …Damn it, the noble man was really kidnapped, you should praise these kidnappers for their good taste.

 The abducted person in the house had his rope removed, and the rags from his mouth were also taken out.

As soon as I was free, the overwhelming fear surged into my heart, and the cries came one after another, almost breaking the roof.

"Wow-"

 "Mother, I want my mother…"

 "I want to go home!"

 "Mom, I will never run around blindly again."

 …

 The children were so frightened that they cried with tears and snot stuck in their noses.

 Brother Man was also wiping his tears.
