C56 (1/2)

Su Zhi found the printed white paper she had prepared a long time ago and prepared to have Elementary Scholar Li write down a template before printing it. When the time came, she would give some crushed silver to the children who were running through the streets and spread the news.

Just as the two were deep in thought, the driver tightened the reins of the oxcart that was barreling towards them from the corner and stopped in front of Flowery House's entrance.

Su Zhi heard the commotion and looked outside. It was Aunt Bai's husband, Uncle Liu. A Jin was sitting on the oxcart with swollen eyes.

”Uncle Liu, Jin, what's going on?”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Zhi hurriedly went out to inquire.

”Xiaosu, hurry up. Your daughter is gone. Go back and find her!”

Uncle Liu picked A Jin up from the ground and wiped the sweat off her forehead with his sleeve. He was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain it to her. The child was given to the couple to look after. Now that something had gone wrong, Uncle Liu was extremely upset.

”What did you say?” What happened to the bean bun? ”

A Jin got off the ox-cart and rushed towards Su Zhi, sobbing and gasping for breath. ”Mother, little sister's gone. I couldn't find her no matter how hard I tried, wuu.

The child was gone?!

It was as if someone had dug a hole in Su Zhi's heart, causing her to pinch and not know how to react.

”Everything is fine, how can the child not see her?”

”Mother, it's my fault. It was my greed that caused my stomach to break. After leaving for a short while, my sister disappeared.”

A Jin cried very sorrowfully and blamed herself.

He was the one who sent the Soybean Bag over to Grandma White's house. It only took him a blink of an eye to get rid of it. What would he do if his sister didn't come back?

Hearing the sound of the wind, Li Yi also went out the door. After hearing a few words, he realized that the little girl was gone and hurriedly went up to comfort her.

”It's fine, don't worry, Spring Leaf Alley is only so big, where can we go?” It must be the child's nature to be playful and unable to stay at home, to go for a walk. ”

Uncle Liu stomped his foot and gritted his teeth as he said, ”Yes, I did. I searched the entire street and alleyway, but I couldn't find any trace of the child. Everything was fine, why did the child get lost? ”Right now, there's a lot of people outside, don't …”

”NO!” ”Impossible, my child won't go missing …”

Su Zhi's heart abruptly contracted. She was in so much pain that she was about to cry.

The Soybean Pancake was not born of her, but she had always regarded it as her own.

Such a soft and cute child. Even though they had only known each other for a few months, she had already gotten used to hearing the cute call of the little bean bun. The little girl couldn't even speak properly, yet she could clearly call out her mother's child.

”Big Brother Li!” Big Brother Li! Hurry, hurry, go to the government, we're going to report this! No no no, you go to the government, I'll go back to Spring Leaf Lane! ”No, no, no. Only I know how a child looks like. I have to go to the government, first!”

Su Zhi's heart was empty. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. The feeling of a child missing was like burning hot water. It was hard to bear.

She had no one in Xuancheng who could turn to but the government officials.

Li Yi nodded. Seeing that Su Zhi had lost her soul, she was so anxious that she was about to cry. However, she was still strong and unwilling to show weakness.

The usually shrewd and capable woman seemed to have lost her backbone, as if all her strength had been sucked out of her.

”Xiao Su, think carefully. Who else can help you in Xuan City? ”Even if it's just one more person, it would be more powerful.”

Who else could help her? Who was there?

Su Zhi clenched her hands and paced back and forth. ”Oh right, there's someone who can do it!”

The man had promised to ask for help if he was in trouble.

”Brother Li, do you know where the General's Residence is in the capital?” I want to enter the capital! ”

Li Yi thought back for a moment and said, ”Are you referring to the capital's Xiao family? I'm not too sure about the exact location. If you want to find someone from the general's manor, hire a carriage first and have the coachman take you there! ”

Su Zhi murmured and nodded her head. When she stepped out to find a carriage, her legs gave way and she stumbled onto the stone steps.

”Mother!”

A Jin rushed up to help her up, crying as he hugged her, ”Mother, I'll go with you, I want to go find my sister too!”

Su Zhi pushed him away and turned to Uncle Liu for help. ”Uncle, please take care of A Jin for me. I'll go to Beijing and ask for help. I'll be right back.”

Uncle Liu nodded, pulling A Jin back, ”Hurry up and go. With me watching, A Jin will be fine.”
