Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1858 - 1675: The Child Is Missing! (4,000 Words)

The newly transplanted tea trees have grown lush and verdant, clearly benefiting from the high transportation cost, which meant they were dug up with large root balls, minimizing root damage, and thus they have adapted excellently.

Now everyone, holding scissors and looking at the flourishing branches, hesitated a little:

"The scent is quite pleasant, but if we prune them, won’t it affect the yield?"

"It won’t."

Song Tan, not one for empty pleasantries, pointed at the small fruit already hanging from the branches:

"The fruit is already on the branches, so as long as they get enough nutrition later, it’ll be fine. Pruning them appropriately now will actually be beneficial."

Moreover, they were only trimming a few branches to put in vases, just a little bit from each tree, which was hardly any effort.

Everyone’s interest was piqued instantly!

Not to mention, wandering through the mountain forest and lightly trimming the branches creates a poetic sense of romance.

The breeze carried the faint fragrance, and as they looked at the hills soon to be harvested and eventually tasted, joy and anticipation filled the air.

Until in the distance, Qiaoqiao’s voice could be heard—

"Sister! He Tuo is missing!"

Everyone: ?!!!

Qin Yun and Yun Feng felt as if the sky was falling!

Song Tan and Lun Chuan exchanged a glance, and Lun Chuan quickly said, "Don’t worry, the mountain is monitored everywhere, and there aren’t any dangerous gulches or ditches. There are also people watching by the pond below..."

He Kuang sighed, raising a hand to interrupt him, "It’s alright, we’re used to it, we’ll just take our time to find him, it won’t interfere..."

His voice was heavy and filled with resignation, as if worn down and numb by life.

Qiaoqiao swiftly approached with two children, cheeks flushed and eyes filled with evident anxiety.

"We were playing with a top at first, then he said he wanted to teach us something else and ran off. A little while later, we couldn’t find him... we’ve already searched the vegetable field for a long time..."

This left Qiaoqiao feeling very guilty, as he was supposed to be looking after them.

Unexpectedly, He Kuang’s wife patted his arm, "It’s okay, Qiaoqiao, it’s not your fault, he often goes missing... Usually, even if we don’t look for him, he will show up when he gets hungry."

The elders at home, though slightly anxious, didn’t look worried as if the child was missing—

Grandpa He Kuang even chuckled, "When we took him to the mall, he would get lost two or three times a year, and later on, we had to put him on a leash whenever we went out..."

As he grew older, he could undo the leash himself, so eventually, they just tied it securely.

Now, the family wasn’t worried about the child being lost, only feeling guilty for disturbing everyone and troubling the hosts.

Everyone: ...

No one knew what to say for a moment, so they could only look at the vast wilderness for comfort and say, "There are monitors everywhere, there’s surely no external danger..."

It’s just that the child is too small, so they’d have to watch the monitors for a while.

Song Tan took out his phone and sent a message to the security chief, Chen Yuan, while also comforting Qiaoqiao, "It’s okay, ask the dogs to help look for him."

"Oh." Seeing everyone was calm, Qiaoqiao slowly regained his composure, quickly retreating to the edge of the vegetable field, placing his hands around his mouth to amplify his voice:

"Hey babies! We’ve got work!"

As the shout resounded, within moments, several large dog heads unexpectedly popped up from the seemingly insignificant fields!

They looked excited and thrilled, darting through the vegetable field like gleaming flashes of fur-covered lightning and didn’t know from where.

Song Tan observed for a moment, "Sibao and Shiyi are on duty nearby! So you don’t need to worry, Sibao has incredible jumping ability, and Shiyi is very smart, they’ll find him."

Then he spoke to He Kuang’s family, "Our mountain not only has surveillance but also patrols, with dogs keeping watch in this area."

"Seems like it’s their turn today, so the child won’t be able to run out of this mountain area for a while. Let’s let them look first."

He Kuang breathed a sigh of relief—he was really afraid everyone would go searching in a grand manner, but now he could only provide clues:

"When he gets lost in the supermarket, he likes to climb into shelves, pushing goods forward, and shrinking to the innermost part."

Initially, it was snack chips gift packs, then rice, flour, grains, and oils—basically, he could squeeze into any nook and cranny. Raising such a child, the family experienced numerous lessons in etiquette just by offering apologies and compensations.

Lun Chuan, having heard some stories, now looked complex, "I’ve heard about this, but I never thought his energy was really this strong..."

Especially since he suddenly couldn’t be found now.
