Entertainment: Koi physique, being adopted as a daughter by the nation

Jiang Xiaoli was the first to react and hurried forward to inquire.

"Mrs. Zhang, where does Xiaozhuang like to go most? Which children does he like to play with most?"

She guessed that the child was probably playing too much and forgot to go home.

Mrs. Zhang calmed down and said, "He likes to play in the lotus pond the most. He has a good relationship with the children in the village."

Lotus pond? Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale: "He won't..."

Everyone understood what she meant. The child might have fallen into the lotus pond.

"Don't panic! Let's go and have a look together, maybe everything is fine." Jiang Xiaoli comforted her repeatedly.

Everyone then rushed towards the lotus pond in the village.

When they arrived at the lotus pond and saw that there was no one around, Mrs. Zhang burst into tears.

"Xiao Zhuang, my Xiao Zhuang!" She subconsciously thought that the child had fallen into the pond.

Jiang Xiaoli observed calmly and then said, "Don't worry, the children didn't come here, and Xiaozhuang didn't fall in."

Zhou Ying pulled her arm: "Xiao Li, how do you know? What if it's true..."

"No!" she interrupted. "Look at the dirt around you. There are no footprints."

"Besides, the child is small, so if he really falls in, he will definitely float."

After her analysis, Mrs. Zhang finally stopped crying. She was right...

"Then...where did my little Zhuang go?"

Tiankeng Village is neither big nor small, but it is dark now, and if something happens to the child in some corner, it would be hard to say what will happen.

After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Xiaoli turned to the village chief and instructed: "Village chief, take people to look for the child in the village and on the surrounding hillsides."

"A few of us and Mrs. Zhang will go to his good friend's house to take a look!"

Children love to play and might forget the time while playing somewhere.

After listening to Jiang Xiaoli's words, everyone took action separately.

Following Mrs. Zhang, the few of them came to a villager's home, whose child had the best relationship with Xiaozhuang.

"Xiao Feng? Are you home?"

Hearing the sound, the adults in the family came out and asked: "Isn't this Xiaozhuang's mother? She's so anxious, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaoli was clear-headed and told the whole story.

"What? Xiao Zhuang is missing? But... my Xiao Feng didn't go out this afternoon. He had a stomachache and has been resting at home."

Mrs. Zhang felt her legs go weak. Where had the child gone?

Hearing the noise outside, Xiao Feng came to the door, holding her stomach: "You can go find some stones. Xiao Zhuang has been playing with them these days."

Upon hearing the news, everyone rushed to another villager's house without stopping.

Along the way, Mrs. Zhang frowned and there was a hint of confusion on her face.

Jiang Xiaoli noticed that something was wrong with her expression and asked kindly: "Sister-in-law, do you feel something is wrong?"

The woman came to her senses and nodded: "Yes! I remember that my Xiaozhuang and Shitou didn't get along well. The two kids often fought. How come they played together these days?"

Jiang Xiaoli took these words to heart and always felt that this matter was related to the child named Shitou.

When the group arrived at Shitou's house, the little boy was washing the mud off his feet in the yard.

But as soon as he saw Mrs. Zhang, he ran into the house.

"Hey, what is this kid running for!"

Zhou Yiran was very fast and stood in front of him: "Little guy, we don't eat people, why are you running so fast?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoli had a general idea in his mind.

She came up to Shitou and said, "Little Shitou, do you know where Xiaozhuang went?"

Hearing Xiao Zhuang's name, Shitou's face turned pale and he quickly squatted down and held his head: "I don't know why he disappeared, I just wanted to scare him!"

It’s definitely related to him!

Mrs. Zhang hurried forward and pulled the child up: "What did you say! Did you do something to my son? Where is he? Tell me!"

Because she loves her son so much, Mrs. Zhang, who is always gentle to others, has lost her rationality.

At the same time, Shi Tou's parents also heard the noise and came out.

"What's going on? What are you doing?!"

The director told them the whole story. The couple was also frightened and quickly asked about what happened to the stone.

"Tell me quickly, where did Xiaozhuang go?"

The child was so frightened by so many people questioning him that he fainted.

"This...what can we do?"

Jiang Xiaoli frowned: "Get out of the way! Don't gather here."

She pinched Shitou's philtrum with one hand and pressed several acupuncture points on his body, and the child woke up.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, she actually knew this?

After recovering from the shock, Shitou looked at the people around him blankly.

In order to prevent him from being stimulated again, Jiang Xiaoli spoke gently: "Shi Tou, don't be afraid, we just want to know where Xiao Zhuang went."

"You are all from the same village. I believe you don't want him to get into an accident, right?"

Based on Shitou's two words just now, she could feel that he didn't want anything to happen to Xiaozhuang.

After hearing this, Shitou finally confessed.

"In the evening, we went to explore the deserted building together. Since we had an argument a few days ago, I wanted to pretend to be a ghost to scare him."

"But I didn't expect...he was really gone. I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked."

Afterwards, he was afraid of being scolded by adults, so he hurried home.

"Abandoned building?" Mrs. Zhang's body went limp, and she would have almost fallen down if Jiang Xiaoli hadn't held her up.

"What's wrong with the deserted building? What is that place?" Zhou Ying asked on the side.

Shi Tou's father looked unhappy and explained in a heavy tone to everyone in the program crew.

"The Huanglou is the most desolate house in our village. It used to be inhabited by the Zhao family, the richest family in the village."

"But Zhao Fugui is a nasty person who often bullies the villagers. We all don't like him."

"It was karma. He was drunk at home and accidentally fell from the second floor and died."

"There was no one else in his house, and by the time we found him, he was already stinking..."

"Since then, Zhaojialou has been abandoned, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Xiaoli asked subconsciously.

Shitou's mother followed up with, "But sometimes, the villagers would hear strange noises coming from the Zhao family in the middle of the night. They all said that Zhao Fugui died with his eyes open and turned into a ghost and didn't want to leave."

The rumor spread more and more in the village. No one went in the direction of the abandoned building anymore. Even if they passed by, they walked in groups. They didn't dare to set foot there in the evening or late at night.

"You kids are so brave! How dare you go to that place?"

"Xiao Zhuang is missing. I'm afraid he was taken away by Zhao Fugui's ghost!"

The villagers outside the yard began to whisper, and everyone agreed that Xiao Zhuang was taken away by a ghost.

"My son..." Mrs. Zhang burst into tears.

But to Jiang Xiaoli, this rumor sounded like complete nonsense.
