"Just kidding, just kidding, Brother Qin, let's eat quickly." As he said that, he handed the bowl in his hand to Qin Si.

Qin Si looked at the bowl and stood up, "No need."

Then go.

Liang Rengui held a bowl in one hand and shouted to Qin Si's back, "Brother, brother."

Hearing the voice, Shen Shuhe suddenly turned around and saw Qin Si's disappearing back.

"Shen Zhiqing? What are you looking at?"

Shen Shuhe turned around and looked at Wang An, "Nothing."

"Shen Zhiqing, thank you. I'm done eating. You should go back soon. The sun is too strong. Be careful of heatstroke." Wang An ate very quickly, mainly because it was hot, and he was embarrassed to keep Shen Shuhe waiting for so long.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Shen Shuhe also felt very exposed.

"Okay. Be safe."

"it is good."

When Shen Shuhe was leaving, he passed by Xiaocao's mother's place and saw Li Cuihong holding a hard-looking steamed bun in her hand, eating it while drinking water.

Shen Shuhe just took a look and left.

-

On the first day of road construction, everyone was exhausted. It was obvious that this task was not as simple as they had imagined.

Moreover, the sun is too strong, which makes people feel exhausted.

Chen Mingchang also thought about moving the work to the night, but he found that it was okay in the evening. If it was really night, there would be no moonlight and it would be pitch black, and he would not be able to see the road clearly.

Not to mention building roads.

With no other choice, I could only do it the same way as before.

-

In the middle of summer, it is rarely cloudy, and the clouds surround the scorching sun, suppressing half of the heat.

"Sister Shen, have you seen Sister Xiaocao?" Xiaohua ran over hurriedly, sweating profusely.

Shen Shuhe shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"

Today they came together to cut grass for the pigs, but because they couldn't gather together, they were separated.

"I just finished cutting grass for the pigs and wanted to look for Sister Xiaocao, but I found that Sister Xiaocao was gone. I thought she came back to find you." Xiaohua said anxiously.

Shen Shuhe frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, let's look for it first."

"Dream brother."

Shen Shuhe called Mengdi, and Mengdi hurried over when he heard the call.

"What's wrong, Sister Shen?"

"Did you see the grass?"

Mengdi shook his head: "No."

"Let's go find Xiaocao and go together." Shen Shuhe had a hunch that something might have happened to Xiaocao, so it would be better for Mengdi and Xiaohua to stay with him now.

Mengdi heard this and said, "Okay."

Then the three of them started looking along the place where Xiaocao had just cut grass for the pigs.

Searching and calling at the same time.

suddenly

Shen Shuhe saw a pair of cloth shoes full of patches left in the grass not far away. They belonged to Xiaocao.

Then, looking closely, he found traces of dragging in the grass.

Shen Shuhe's heart was filled with alarm. Could it be that Xiaocao had encountered human traffickers?

If you encounter a human trafficker now and are sold by him, you may never be found again.

Shen Shuhe did not rush to catch up, but said, "Mengdi, Xiaohua, you go back first, I will find people from our village to find Xiaocao, you must not run around, you must go directly back home, understand?"

Xiaohua and Mengdi are both children, and their safety must be guaranteed. After all, she doesn't know whether the other party is a single offender or a gang of many people.

So now we must let Xiaohua and Mengdi leave first.

Xiaohua and Mengdi looked at Shen Shuhe's serious expression and nodded, "Okay, Sister Shen, let's go back now."

After Shen Shuhe sent the two of them to the main road, he immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction. This place was closest to the village entrance, so the best place to go was to find the group of men who were repairing the road at the village entrance.

Shen Shuhe didn't dare to waste time and started running.

Because I was too anxious, I accidentally stepped on a stone and sprained my foot.

"Are you okay?" Qin Si didn't know why he appeared here, but Shen Shuhe couldn't care less now.

"Qins, hurry up, Xiaocao."

Shen Shuhe eagerly grabbed Qin Si's hand, his voice faintly filled with fear and urgency.

"What's wrong with Xiaocao?" Qin Si asked.

"Xiaocao might have been captured by human traffickers, you should go and save her." Shen Shuhe no longer cared about the dispute between him and Qin Si.

The most important thing now is to rescue the grass as soon as possible.

"Okay, I get it. Don't walk around randomly. Go call for help. Don't walk around alone. Do you understand?" Qin Si reminded again and again.

He didn't realize that he seemed to be too concerned about Shen Shuhe.

Shen Shuhe didn't pay attention to this at this time. "I know. Go quickly. I'll go get someone."

Qin Si nodded, then ran to the location Shen Shuhe said.

Shen Shuhe struggled to stand up, ignoring the pain in his ankle, and continued walking towards the village entrance.

"Shen Zhiqing, why are you here?" Wang An was the first person to discover Shen Shuhe.

It’s not time for lunch yet, and Shen Shuhe is acting weird.

Walking with a limp.

Shen Shuhe looked at Chen Mingchang who was not far from Wang An.

"Captain, hurry up, something bad has happened, Xiaocao has been kidnapped, send someone to find him." Shen Shuhe explained the situation as quickly as possible.

Suddenly there was a clang and the tool hit the stone with a loud noise.

Suddenly, a dark-skinned woman rushed to Shen Shuhe, grabbed his arm, and asked anxiously, "What did you say? What happened to Xiaocao?"

Shen Shuhe looked at the woman in front of him and found that she looked somewhat similar to Xiaocao, so he thought she must be Xiaocao's mother.

Shen Shuhe explained the whole story in great detail this time: "He should not have gone far by now, so we have to hurry up the mountain to look for him. If he is really taken away, I am afraid we will never be able to find him again."

Even in the high-tech era decades later, people abducted by human traffickers may not be found, let alone in this era.

So we must hurry up.

After hearing what Shen Shuhe said, Li Cuihong's face turned pale and her legs went limp. If Shen Shuhe hadn't supported her in time, Li Cuihong would have probably fallen to her knees.

Li Cuihong immediately choked up and said to Chen Mingchang, "Captain, save Xiaocao, save Xiaocao."

Chen Mingchang also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said: "Quick, come with me to the mountain."

Immediately, several people stood up.

Chen Mingchang and his men hurriedly ran up the mountain.

Shen Shuhe just hoped that they could find Xiaocao, and Li Cuihong followed him.

Shen Shuhe didn't go with them because his ankle was injured.

"It's just a girl. If she's gone, she's gone. Is there any need to be so anxious?"

"That's right, isn't this delaying our work?"

"When will they come back? Can we still do it?"

"What are you doing? Stop working. Let's just wait. It's impossible for us to do more work and they won't have to do as much work and still get paid as much."

"You really don't understand. You said it's a money-losing item, so if it's gone, it's gone. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shen Shuhe, who was about to leave, heard what the men said behind him.
