Some villagers came out of their homes after lunch, heard her screams, knew that Fubao was lost, and hurriedly searched for it together.
After looking for it for a long time, I couldn't find it. The news of Fubao's loss reached the ears of the village chief. The village chief's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately left his work and came over. He asked anxiously, "What's going on, why did you lose my baby!"
Guan Xiaorui was still crying, her eyes were swollen, "I... we were catching fish, I went home to get something, and when I came back she disappeared, maybe she fell into the river!"
The villagers said one after another: "If it falls into the river, the baby should float up, but we didn't see it!"
"Yeah! We all found the downstream, and we didn't see the baby!"
"Please, please help me find it again, Fubao is safe!" Jiang Meilan was about to collapse, and she was about to kneel down for them.
The village chief quickly supported her, "Calm down, the baby is gone, it is impossible to disappear without a trace, there is no trace at all. Everyone help, search around every corner of the village, if you find anything, report it in time!"
"Okay!" Some enthusiastic adults and children immediately dispersed and continued to look for Fubao.
On the other hand, Old Man Shen and Mrs. Shen sold both the pheasant and wild boar in the town. The two pigs totaled about 300 catties, and they sold them to a big restaurant at a price of 1.5 yuan per catty, which was about 500 yuan. Plus a dozen or so pheasants, it sold a total of six hundred and five.
Hundreds of dollars!
The old couple had never seen so much money. The old man Shen couldn't help but was a little nervous. He looked left and right for fear of encountering a thief, so he stuffed the money into an envelope, and then hid it in the innermost pocket of his clothes.
The old couple had made plans to take Fu Bao and Huo Jinxi to the town again tomorrow, buy some things they wanted, buy some daily necessities for the house, make two new sets of clothes for everyone, and return home happily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door, a villager ran over and said that Fubao was lost, maybe it fell into the river, and no one has been found now!
With a sound of "Boom!", it was as if several thunderbolts had struck the head. Old man Shen turned pale with fright, and old lady Shen's face lost all color in an instant, and she almost fainted.
"My niece!" Old Mrs. Shen rushed towards the river like crazy, and Old Man Shen also chased after her with red eyes.
A dozen or so villagers surrounded the river, and they all sighed, saying that if Fubao really fell into the river, after such a long time, he would definitely not survive.
Seeing Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen, Jiang Meilan's tears seemed to be opened, and she couldn't stop her tears. She cried in a hissed voice, "Old man, old lady, I'm sorry for you! It's my fault... It's all my fault for not taking good care of Fu Bao, I shouldn't have let her go out!"
The old lady Shen pushed her away as if she had never heard of it, and staggered forward, crying loudly all the way, "Daughter! Grandma is here to look for you. Where are you? If you hear it, answer it. Don't scare grandma!"
"Did she really fall into the river?" Old man Shen muttered to himself with a pale face, and the next second, he took off his shoes and socks and plunged into the water.
At this time, it was warm and cold, and the water was so cold that people's hands and feet were numb from the cold, but old man Shen didn't care so much, and swam desperately downstream, diving into the water after a while, just wanting to find his little granddaughter.
