Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 192: I Have to Find Balang and Jiulang
Qi Sangui heard the voice and hurriedly stopped.
Only to see Qi Liulang anxiously looking at him, "Uncle San, have you seen Uncle and Balang, Jiulang?"
"Your uncle?"
Qi Sangui looked around and shook his head, "No, they probably went to watch some spectacle! What’s up?"
Qi Liulang was almost in tears with anxiety, "Uncle San, my uncle walks fast, Balang and Jiulang can’t keep up, and now I can’t find them. I’m scared."
"Don’t be afraid, Uncle San will take you to find them."
Without much thought, Qi Sangui picked up Qi Liulang, put him on his neck, and let the child hold his head. He then picked up Qi Wulang and Qi Qilang, and started searching for Qi Quanli in the crowd with the three children.
Qi Liulang, sitting at the highest point, looked around and finally spotted Qi Quanli squeezed at the front of a crowd in front of a juggling stall.
"Uncle San, Uncle is over there!"
Qi Liulang pointed the way, and Qi Sangui hurriedly headed in that direction.
The crowd in front of the juggling stall was the largest, often erupting in applause.
Qi Liulang called several times but Qi Quanli didn’t hear him. Finally, Qi Sangui used his height and strength to push his way forward, earning quite a few angry swears from people, before finally reaching Qi Quanli’s side.
At that moment, Qi Quanli was clapping and cheering, his face full of excitement.
"Uncle!"
Qi Liulang tapped Qi Quanli’s head, which got him a scolding, "Who dares to tap on ol’..."
Before he could finish scolding, Qi Liulang saw his third brother’s face, quickly smiling and said, "Third Brother, this is so entertaining, that monkey is just like a human, but..."
"Old Six, where are Balang and Jiulang?"
Qi Sangui wasn’t in the mood to watch monkeys.
When he came over, he looked around and there was no sign of the two children.
Qi Quanli was stunned, pointing beside him, "Aren’t they here... huh? Where are the children?"
Seeing this, Qi Quanli discovered that there were no children beside him, and instantly broke into a cold sweat, "Maybe they ran somewhere else to play. Third Brother, I’ll go find them!"
With so many people, even if Qi Quanli reacted slowly, he knew what it meant if the children were lost, so he hurriedly squeezed through the crowd.
Qi Sangui said no more, took the three children and followed Qi Quanli.
"Those two rascals, I just clapped a little, how could they disappear?"
Qi Quanli searched while mumbling.
He had been holding the two kids’ hands, but the juggling was too entertaining, and he wanted to clap and cheer with everyone else, so he let go.
It hadn’t been long, how did the two kids disappear?
Qi Liulang was already anxious and almost crying, hugging Qi Sangui’s head, he said with a sobbing voice, "Uncle San, let’s go back and call, call my dad and have them help find Balang and Jiulang!"
"Okay!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Qi Sangui, though taciturn, wasn’t really stupid. He naturally knew more people were needed at a time like this, so he immediately led the three children back.
The Qi family noodle stall had just been busy for a while and now only two customers were eating tangyuan, but they seemed almost done.
Qi Quanjin brought over a chair for Yi Meng to sit on, while Wang Daya sat between the iron pot and the dough table resting.
"Wife, sit down and rest for a bit."
Qi Quanjin helped his wife to sit down, then turned back to tidy up other things.
Seeing her sister-in-law looking at her with a teasing gaze, Yi Meng blushed, "Sister-in-law, aren’t you tired? You don’t need to busy yourself later, go have a walk!"
"I’m not tired, I’ve just been. Everywhere is packed, it’s not that interesting."
Wang Daya shook her head.
She used to think the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month was lively and fun, but this year she didn’t feel that way.
What lantern festival could be better than earning Silver?
So she just took a brief stroll and returned, replacing Brother Jin and his wife, staying with Brother Four and his wife to continue the stall.
The sisters-in-law chatted a bit aimlessly, when suddenly they spotted a tall figure with three children rushing in their direction.
"Isn’t that Brother Three? How come they returned so soon?"
Wang Daya had just straightened her back and then saw Qi Sangui.
Seeing Qi Sangui’s hurried footsteps, Yi Meng had a bad feeling, quickly stood up, and called Qi Quanjin.
"Brother Jin, Brother Three is back!"
"What? So quickly?"
Qi Quanjin was also startled, and hurriedly walked over.
Just as Qi Sangui arrived, and before he could speak, Qi Liulang, sitting on his neck, cried and said, "Dad, Mom, Balang and Jiulang are missing, uh uh uh, Uncle didn’t hold onto them."
"What?"
Yi Meng’s eyes turned black, and she swayed slightly, almost fainting.
Fortunately, Qi Quanjin reacted quickly, grabbing Yi Meng while asking, "Brother Three, what the hell happened? What about Little Eight and Little Nine..."
Qi Sangui put his two sons down and said, "Ol’ Scar took the two kids to watch juggling, and then the kids just disappeared. Now Ol’ Scar is looking."
Qi Sangui, a man of few words, rarely managed to put together such a long sentence in one breath, but at this moment, no one was paying attention to that detail.
Wang Daya was also greatly shocked, urging, "Little Four, quickly go with Brother Three to find the children!"
"Okay."
Qi Quanjin released Yi Meng, "Wife, don’t worry, the sons will be fine, you stay home, I’ll go find them now."
With that, Qi Quanjin quickly left with Qi Sangui.
"Mom..."
Qi Liulang, now crying uncontrollably, said, "It’s not, not Liulang’s fault, I, I didn’t take good care of the little brothers, uh uh uh..."
"No, it’s not your fault."
Yi Meng’s face was ashen, but seeing her eldest son crying so miserably, how could she bear to blame him, she could only say to Wang Daya, "Sister-in-law, I’ll take the kids home first. As for this stall..."
"Forget about the stall, I’ll pack up right now."
Although Wang Daya loved earning money, she knew what was more important.
Yi Meng nodded, pulling Qi Liulang, and letting Qi Wulang and Qi Qilang follow her back to the inner courtyard.
Mu Yunniang had just returned from a stroll, planning to help at the stall, only to be sent home by Wang Daya.
The house had lots of greens planted and each room had kangs burning. Everyone feared if left unattended, something might catch fire, so it was arranged for people to take turns staying home to keep watch.
After returning home, Mu Yunniang switched with Ai Zhaodi, letting Ai Zhaodi and Qi Quanyin take Qi Shilang out for a stroll.
Hearing a knock at the door, Mu Yunniang hurried over to open it and was surprised to see Yi Meng and the three children, "Back so soon?"
"Sister-in-law, please, keep an eye on the kids, I need to find Balang and Jiulang."
Yi Meng’s face was as pale as paper, but she gritted her teeth and held on.
She couldn’t collapse before her sons were found.
"What happened to Balang and Jiulang?"
Mu Yunniang was shocked, then realized something, just about to speak, but Yi Meng had already let go of Qi Liulang’s hand and turned to run to the alleyway.
"Mom..."
Qi Liulang cried out once, then started wailing again.
