Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

In that peaceful and harmonious little village where time flows slowly, He Yushui fully believes that she can protect Xiaomeizi and Yingbao by taking good care of them every day. However, she never expected that fate would mercilessly swing a sledgehammer and smash her world to pieces.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do? Xiaomeizi and Yingbao are missing."

He Yushui's voice sounded like it was torn apart by a demon, trembling terribly. The panic and helplessness contained in her crying voice seemed to dye the surrounding air into a desperate gray.

Her eyes were wide open, but they only reflected endless fear, as if she was swallowed by the dark abyss from hell, and her soul was trembling.

At that time, her mind was like a barren desert, with strong winds howling past, leaving only the angelic appearances of the two children constantly flashing and circling in the wind and sand. Every appearance was like a sharp blade, cutting her heart fiercely.

She knew very well that it was her momentary negligence that pushed He Yuzhu's beloved baby, and Xu Xinmei's beloved child, into an unknown and dangerous abyss.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! That nasty stranger came to me to ask for directions, why was I so stupid to talk to him without any precautions?

If I had been cruel enough to ignore him, the children would still be laughing and playing beside me now."

While He Yushui was crying and wailing grief-stricken, he lost control and beat his thigh with his clenched fists, over and over again, as if he wanted to beat all the regret and self-blame in his heart into his body.

Tears flowed like a flood and snot flowed uncontrollably, both running rampant on her painful face, quickly blurring it into a mess.

Her body trembled violently due to excessive grief, like a dead leaf swaying in the autumn wind. Finally, the long-suppressed howling broke out like a raging tsunami. The cry was like the wailing from purgatory, which seemed to completely shatter the tranquility of the entire village and move the heaven and earth.

When Xu Xinyue heard the bad news, her heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout her body.

But she knew very well that if she lost her composure at this moment, everything would be in a desperate situation.

She suppressed the pain and panic in her heart and took a deep breath, the breath flowing with difficulty through her trembling throat.

Then, she said softly in a tone as calm as possible: "Yushui, please stop crying.

This is definitely not the time to blame yourself. Go find your brother as soon as possible. Tell everyone you meet in the village that Xiaomeizi and Yingbao are missing, and ask everyone to work together to help find them."

He Yushui slowly raised his head, his eyes were empty and helpless, just like a child who had lost his way in the dark night, his heart full of fear and confusion.

Xu Xinyue looked at her distraught appearance, feeling very sorry for her.

But he still gritted his teeth, patted her head gently, raised his voice, and almost scolded her: "What are you still standing there for? Go quickly!"

Xu Xinyue turned around and hurried towards the village.

Her face seemed like a calm lake, without a single ripple, but if someone looked closely, they would see that she was clenching her teeth so tightly that it seemed as if she was about to break them.

Her hands were clenched into fists at her sides, her nails digging deep into her flesh, the sharp pain piercing her flesh like needles, but she was unaware and let the blood seep out from between her fingers, drop by drop, like red beads with broken strings, falling to the ground beneath her feet, staining the ground with dazzling red plum blossoms.

She ran all the way, shouting with all her might: "Fellow villagers, my Xiaomeizi and Yingbao are missing. They were kidnapped by that unscrupulous person in our village just now.

We all love these two children as if they were our own babies. Now that they have encountered this kind of disaster, please have mercy on us and help us find them.”

When the villagers heard this shocking news, they gathered from all directions.

"Xinyue, what should we do? Don't panic. If the whole village works together, we will definitely be able to find the child."

The respected old captain of the village had a worried look on his face, his brows tightly furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"Yes, such a heinous act happened in our peaceful village. It is simply intolerable. We must not let the evildoer off easily."

A sturdy man with a burly figure and bulging muscles was waving a thick stick in his hand, making a whistling sound in the air, with an angry look on his face as if he wanted to eat the cripple alive.

"I just came from the west end of the village and didn't notice anything unusual along the way. Do you think it went to the east end of the village?"

A woman with a kind face but full of worry at the moment, her eyes revealing anxiety and concern.

Xu Xinyue quickly sorted out her thoughts, forced herself to calm down, and arranged in an orderly manner: "So, the young and strong men will follow me to search the east end of the village, and the uncles and aunts will go to the west end of the village to check carefully. The women will search around the village to see if they can find some clues. Children, don't be idle, go and tell other villagers who don't know about this yet.

Everyone needs to be extremely alert and not miss any corner, even a patch of grass or an abandoned house, and investigate it carefully. "

"Xinyue, don't worry, we will never let you down and we will find the child back safely." Everyone responded in unison and then rushed to their respective mission areas like a well-trained army.

The young men were all excited, with flames of anger burning in their eyes, and they were rubbing their hands, eager to try.

"This child-stealing bastard is so despicable. If I catch him by chance, I will beat him so hard that his parents won't recognize him."

"Yes, we must do our best to bring the children back to the village safely. We must not let their tender bodies and minds be harmed in the slightest."

They walked quickly along the winding path at the east end of the village, their eyes as sharp as those of hawks, carefully searching everything around them.

They used sticks to push aside every patch of grass and kicked open every abandoned house, searching through every drawer and cabinet, leaving no corner where someone might be hiding. Even the slightest clue would not escape their eyes.

The uncles and aunts at the west end of the village also dare not slack off at all.

"How dare someone do such a wicked thing in broad daylight in our village? Do you think everyone in our village is a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied?"

"Everyone, be careful. Pay attention to your feet and surroundings to see if there are any clues such as footprints."

Holding hoes, they hunched over and carefully searched in the fields, woods and grass.

The hoe in their hands is no longer a farming tool, but a sharp weapon for exploring truth and justice. They gently push away the soil and fallen leaves, their eyes focused and determined, not missing any suspicious signs, as if they are a group of experienced detectives, chasing the traces of crime.

He Yushui completely disregarded his own safety and image, and ran desperately towards where He Yuzhu worked.

Along the way, she was extremely anxious, her steps were flustered and staggering, and she fell several times.

Her knees and palms were scraped against the rough ground, and blood oozed out and mixed with the soil. The pain was piercing, but she seemed to be unconscious. She kept muttering, "Brother, brother, please come back soon. Xiaomeizi and Yingbao are missing. I'm so sorry." The voice echoed in the empty fields, full of despair and helplessness.

After He Yuzhu got the news, he was extremely anxious and hurried to the village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw groups of villagers with solemn and serious expressions, walking in a mighty procession in different directions.

His heart suddenly contracted and a sharp pain spread throughout his body like an electric current. He knew that the seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination.

So he gritted his teeth, quickened his pace and ran towards home, swearing secretly in his heart that even if he had to go through fire and water, he would find the child and make that cruel and evil man pay a heavy price, repaying blood with blood and tooth with tooth.
