Chapter 660: The Person Behind the Band of Robbers (1)_1
In the main hall of the Wu family’s house, a dozen large tables were laid out with various delicious dishes, which were gradually cooling off and losing their original flavor, as no one was sitting down to enjoy them. The people gathered there looked at Yang Bao with grave expressions, hoping he could come up with a plan to quickly find the twelve missing children.
No one had expected that on such a joyous day, Liu Yang Village would suddenly lose twelve children. The oldest of these children was ten, and the youngest was only four. One and a half hours ago, after they walked out of the Wu family’s courtyard, they had not returned, including the child who had drunk all of Mo Yan’s bowl of sugar water in the morning.
The relatives of the children had frantically searched the entire village and turned over every nook and cranny where the children used to play several times, but not a trace of them was found. It was as if the dozen children had vanished into thin air.
After communicating with Xue tuanzi in the Space, Mo Yan, who already knew where the children had gone, saw that Yang Bao was indecisive for the moment and reminded him, "Village chief, everyone in the village says they haven’t seen those children, and since the Wu family lives at the edge of the mountain, could they have gone to play in the mountain together?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers who had lost their children became agitated. A sturdy man slapped his thigh and said with widened eyes, "Right, right, right, a dozen children disappeared all at once, and not a single person saw which direction they went. Where else could they have run off to if not into the mountains?"
"Exactly, my son was still talking about going to the mountains to pick chestnuts and roast them to eat last night. Maybe he really went to pick chestnuts."
"My youngest is the same. A couple of days ago, when his dad went to chop wood in the mountains and was lucky enough to find a wild fruit tree, he brought back a few wild fruits for him, and he has been clamoring to go into the mountain with his dad ever since, making me give him a beating."
