Sixth Grandpa persuaded Grandma to stay at home and wait for news.

They are both quite old, and it's dark outside. If they run out and fall, and get hurt, not only will they be unable to help, but it will also cause trouble for Sanniang, right?

Here, Shen Chunsheng caught up with Shen Rong and dragged her back to the Shen family.

The second son of the Shen family was still out looking for Changsheng with the villagers. Only the two sisters-in-law were at home waiting for news. When they heard that Changsheng did not go to Uncle Shen Rong's house, the eldest sister-in-law could not help but blame herself.

"It's all my fault. Changsheng came to see his sister in the afternoon, and I didn't explain it to him clearly..."

Shen Chunsheng also looked remorseful when he heard this, "How can this be blamed on you? If I hadn't said those angry words, Changsheng wouldn't have run out of the village. It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Shen Chunsheng said, hitting his head hard.

Shen Wu scolded his eldest son, "Why are you crazy? The person is not dead yet! If you have the energy to hit yourself, you might as well keep it and find someone else!"

Shen Rong was already at a loss, and when she heard her father say something like "someone died" and "looking for someone", she became even more panicked. She couldn't sit still for a moment, so she stood up and walked outside.

"Sanniang, where are you going?" Shen Wu scolded again.

Shen Rong, who had been absent-minded the whole night, was called back to her senses by her father's cold shout. She turned around woodenly and looked at her parents. Tears fell from her lifeless eyes.

"I'll go look for him... Changsheng isn't lost... He just got lost... Yes, he must be lost, I'll go look for him... He's lost, he must be sitting somewhere waiting for me..."

Shen Rong's sudden crying made the atmosphere in the room suddenly sink to the bottom.

Shen Dongting strode to his sister's side and said, "Sister, I'll go with you to look for him! You know my brother-in-law, let's look for him in the place where he is most likely to go."

Shen Rongniang also wiped her tears and said, "I'll go with you to look for it. The more people there are, the more places we can search."

As Shen Rong and the other two were about to walk out, Shen Wu frowned and shouted, "Stop right there!"

Lu had never been scolded like this by Shen Wu before. She subconsciously stopped and looked back at Shen Wu.

The person Shen Dongting was most afraid of was Shen Wu. Hearing his father's tone, he obviously got angry, and he was so scared that he stood there and dared not move.

Shen Rong did not look back. She still looked at the dark outside the house, and said stubbornly with tears in her eyes: "He is not lost. He must be hiding somewhere waiting for me to find him... I will go and call him. When he hears me calling him, he will definitely come out. Changsheng is hiding himself on purpose. I can find him by myself..."

Shen Wu frowned, looked at Shen Rong for a while, then said to Shen Chunsheng: "Go to your third uncle's house, call those boys from his family, and we will look for him again..."

Shen Chunsheng responded and left the house, and Shen Dongting quickly followed, "Brother, I'm going too!"

After a while, Shen Chunsheng brought people over. They were all brothers who had grown up with him. Together with the Shen family’s father and son, there were more than ten people in the team. They lit torches and each held a hoe and a stick, looking quite imposing.

Shen Rong stood at the door with her head down, crying silently. Seeing that everyone was getting ready to leave, she silently followed the team out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu and her two sisters-in-law hurried to follow.

As for the children in the family, they did not cause the adults to worry. Yier and her twin sisters stayed at home with their younger brothers sensibly and did not cause any trouble to the adults.

When Shen Wu saw several women following the crowd, he thought about it and did not ask them to go back. He just sighed and led his men from the village entrance to look for them outside the village.

It was already the second half of the night. Even though the group had torches, they could not illuminate very far and still had to rely on everyone shouting at the top of their lungs.

After Shen Rong left the village, she began to shout. She headed south and shouted all the way to the mountain opposite to the south.

"Changsheng, where are you? Come out quickly!"

"Changsheng, answer the question! I am Sanniang! I am here to take you home!"

"Changsheng, I'm not mad at you anymore, come out and go home with me!"

"Changsheng, stop hiding! Come out quickly!"

"Eternal life! Eternal life! Eternal life!"

By the time Shen Rong finished shouting, she couldn't help crying, and her shrill voice was creepy.

But Shen Rong didn't care about so much. She kept looking and calling all the way. She always felt that Changsheng was hiding somewhere, as if he would walk out from some corner in the next moment, with his head hung and eyelids drooping, staring at her with grievance and anger.

Unfortunately, no matter how Shen Rong screamed, cried, shouted, cursed or begged, Changsheng never showed up until the morning light appeared in the sky.

Shen Rong had never felt that a night was so short.

She shouted all night and was exhausted. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she didn't know when one of her shoes fell off. Her bare foot was already covered with bloodstains.

The young men who came with them to look for people were all tired and frustrated. The more they searched, the slimmer their hope seemed. But when they saw how distraught Shen Rong looked, they couldn't bear to go back.

The group searched for a whole night until dawn, and then they stepped forward helplessly and said, "Sanniang, it's already daybreak... We have searched all the intersections outside the village... I see this..."

After being tortured all night, Shen Rong had long lost her spirit. She was in a daze and walked around aimlessly. When she heard someone talking to her, she subconsciously responded, "Oh... OK... You guys go back... I'll look for it again... There are still many places I haven't looked for... I'll look for it again..."

As he said this, he pushed aside a pile of grass and crawled in.

Shen Chunsheng grabbed the man and said hurriedly: "This is a puddle. It's no joke if you fall into it!"

Shen Rong's expression suddenly became tense after hearing this. Instead of shrinking back, she put all her strength into moving forward.

"Brother, what should we do? He doesn't know there is a puddle here... What if... he falls into it... I'll go in and take a look... At least take a look..."

Shen Chunsheng dragged Shen Rong out while holding her, saying, "Changsheng is not blind. Even if he doesn't know the way, he knows he can't go into the deep grass!"

Shen Rong couldn't break free, holding onto her brother tightly with both hands, she looked at Shen Chunsheng with despair, and tremblingly said, "Brother, where did you say he went? Where could he go alone?

It's been a night, and it's already dawn! I thought he couldn't see the way home in the dark, so he had to find a place to rest, right?

But I've searched everywhere around here, how come it can't be found?

Where do you think he could go? Why can't we find him?

It's already daybreak, why hasn't Changsheng come back yet? Huh? Why did you say he hasn't come back yet?"

Shen Rong was incoherent, and she was completely different from usual, as if she was possessed by a demon, speaking and acting only on instinct.
