Chapter 1641 Hope
I originally thought that Luo Fengtang would have to wait until dark before coming back, but unexpectedly, he came back near noon.
"I know you must be anxious at home, so I came back first."
After entering the house and taking a sip of tea, Luo Fengtang said to Yang Ruoqing.
"I went to the cliff where Chen'er was lost and found a tiger tooth in a nearby bush."
As Luo Fengtang said this, he actually took out a tiger tooth still stained with blood from behind his back.
Yang Ruoqing's eyebrows skipped a beat, "Tiger, could it be..."
"Qing'er, don't be anxious, listen to me first." Luo Fengtang said.
"Judging from the blood stains on the tooth and the fractured root of the tooth, it seems that the tooth fell off the body in the past ten days."
"According to my speculation, after Chen'er was abandoned on the stone by Qian, a tiger came to her."
"The tiger probably wanted to harm Chen'er. Someone came from behind and beat the tiger away with one punch." Luo Fengtang said.
"And lost a tooth."
"Is that so?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes also had a glimmer of light.
Holding Baby Luo in one hand, he took the tiger tooth in his other hand and looked at it carefully.
Well, he was right. Judging from the fracture surface of this tooth, it was indeed subjected to a huge external impact.
In general, fights between wild animals usually result in bites and scratches, such as knocking out teeth.
It's highly possible that humans did it.
"According to what you said, our Chen'er is really not dead. He is still alive and was taken away by the master who defeated the tiger?" Yang Ruoqing asked repeatedly.
Luo Fengtang nodded.
"That's how it should be!"
He continued: "If you can pull a tooth out of a tiger's mouth, this person's skills are definitely not inferior to yours or mine."
"As far as I know, there are no such masters among the hunters and woodcutters in the mountains nearby."
"So, I thought about it, and the most likely possibility is that it was someone passing by." He said.
These words really made Yang Ruoqing feel happy and worried.
Fortunately, Chen'er is still alive.
What worries me is that I was taken away by someone I don't know. There is a huge sea of people, and if I want to search for it, I will undoubtedly find a needle in a haystack.
However, some money is better than nothing!
No matter how small or vague the hope is, it is still hope.
"Then what are we going to do next? There has to be a direction, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Luo Fengtang nodded.
"I took a look at the location of the cliff. I went hunting in that area before. If I remember correctly, there are several small mountain villages located in the mountain col opposite the cliff."
"The expert who saved our Chen'er is not convenient in the mountains with a five-month-old child."
"Normally speaking, his first choice should be to inquire in nearby mountain villages,"
"Let's see if anyone has lost a child. Give Chen'er some rice soup, noodle soup or something to wrap up his belly!"
"So, I will come back to discuss with you. We will take people to the mountain village over there early tomorrow morning and inquire from door to door. We will definitely be able to find out something!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly: "Why wait until tomorrow? Let's go now!"
Luo Fengtang said: "It's a long way from here. Standing on the opposite side of the cliff, it looks misty when you look at it from a distance. If you want to walk there, you'll probably have to barely reach it after dark."
"It's too late today. Why don't we have a good rest tonight so that I can gather some people? Let's set off early tomorrow morning!"
Hearing that he had arranged it this way, Yang Ruoqing also thought it made sense.
He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and nodded: "Okay, then you go discuss this matter with your uncle and my father, and I will go to the backyard and tell my mother and the others."
The couple acted separately.
In the afternoon, Yang Huazhong and others came to Yang Ruoqing's house.
Yang Ruoqing fed Baby Luo with heated goat's milk, coaxed her to sleep and handed her over to Tuoba Xian and Xiao Yaxue, while she hurried to the main room in the front yard.
At this time, Luo Fengtang had already discussed his speculations and the direction for tomorrow's search with Yang Huazhong and others.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming over, Luo Fengtang looked towards her.
"Qing'er, I have already told my father-in-law, uncle, me and several uncles. Do you have anything else to add?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "As long as you say so."
Next to him, Old Yangtou saw Yang Ruoqing approaching, and a glimmer of light ignited in his eyes.
"Qing'er, what about your second uncle..."
Hearing Lao Yangtou's question, Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, and then said: "Sir, there was a reply from the county town, and I was just about to tell you about this."
"Oh? What did you say over there?"
Old Yang sat up straight and looked at Yang Ruoqing expectantly and anxiously.
The same goes for other people from the old Yang family nearby.
Chen'er's matter has gained some insights, and Yang Ruoqing has gained some enthusiasm when talking about Yang Hualin's matter.
"Well, Magistrate Zou is our father-in-law. He loves the people like his own son."
"He is honest and fair, but he is not the kind of person who enforces the law rigidly," Yang Ruoqing said.
"Master Zou means that my second uncle is mentally retarded. Qian knew that my second uncle was mentally retarded and deliberately angered me, so that the two of them were accidentally injured by scissors during the dispute."
"This is Qian's own responsibility. Originally, the second uncle also had to be punished, but because he was mentally ill, he became even more insane in prison."
"Mr. Zou ordered our family to go to the county town to bring our second uncle back within two days, and keep him in safe custody. He will not be released again in the future to avoid similar hurtful incidents."
After listening to Yang Ruoqing's words, Old Yang took a long breath.
The dark clouds hovering overhead also dissipated a lot.
He said to the other people from the Old Yang family beside him: "Let me just say, what the second child did this time was a good deed. God is watching, and he won't let the second child risk his life!"
"Ms. Qian, you deserve to die!" Old Yang said.
Everyone else on the side nodded: "I didn't expect that the second brother pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, and helped him escape!"
Old Yang nodded.
Yang Huazhou raised questions: "Don't be too happy, everyone. I followed my second brother out that day. From what I saw, he didn't look like he was pretending to be crazy or acting stupid..."
"What do you mean?" The smile that just appeared on Old Yang's face suddenly froze.
Yang Huazhou frowned: "I can't tell. I hope the second brother is pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. I hope I feel wrong!"
Old Yangtou's face became a little ugly.
He said sternly: "You must be mistaken. Your second brother's nickname is Hou'er Jingde."
"His brain is the fastest among the five of you brothers. Even if you are stupid, your second brother will not be stupid!"
Old Yangtou's angry words made Brother Yang Huazhou very unhappy.
But at this moment, Yang Huazhou couldn't argue with Lao Yangtou.
