Young Mistress Qian rested her chin on her hands and sat on the steps of the door.It was only a few hours ago, but she seemed to not remember clearly.She thought hard and thought again, and stammered, "He said he was going out to buy some snacks..." "What happened next? Come on," said Mr. Jin impatiently. "Going out—didn't come back for a long time." "Why did you let him go out by himself?" She didn't want to argue, "I thought he was eating and playing inside the gate. After a while, I was a little worried, and ran out to see. He wasn't there. I went to the street to look for him, and I searched and searched—yelling and shouting." , " She lowered her head again.

Kim Sanye also sat down on the steps.He held back his breath and calmed down to think.After thinking about it for a long time, I told my daughter what happened in the past few days, maybe I can see some clues from these messy things, and find out the reason for the loss of the child.When Young Mistress Qian heard what her father said, she stood up abruptly. "It must have been stolen by the Japs!" "Jap?" "They arrested my father-in-law and stole my son. The old man is hard-hearted, and he softens when he sees the child being wronged, so he can say whatever he wants. They will torture my child to death! You That's good—for the sake of the three houses, the Qian family's heir is extinct!"

Jin San couldn't say a word.Exhausted, angry and ashamed, he stared at the courtyard wall in a daze. The next day, Inspector Bai came.He told Jin San that Mr. Qian really went to jail, but he has not been sentenced yet. This is the news from the signature post taken from the temple.There are other things that he can't tell Jin San. "Oh - he was not punished?" Jin San smiled. "Humph—the Japanese devils are about to die, so don't dare to mess around. Damn——! They are all bullying things!" "But my grandson is lost," Jin San lost his smile again.

"Lost it?" Inspector Bai was stunned. "lost." "The Japanese did it too?" Jin San has nothing to answer.He just wanted to smack his own mouth, but his arms were too heavy to lift.In a daze, he sat for a while, and then asked: "Can you ask me?" Inspector Bai knew that he had nowhere to inquire, but he was unwilling to talk to death, which made Jin San despair. "I'll try and do my best!" Inspector Bai left.He knew that the disaster of the Jin family was serious, and he could do nothing about it.It's better to be busy with your own affairs.Ruixuan and he have figured out the meaning of the lottery:

First, Mr. Qian has been jailed, but he has not been sentenced, and the Japanese want to win him over; Second, Monk Mingyue is inconvenient to do more activities at present, and there are always spies watching; third, Ruiquan's work focus is outside the city, so he can't come back to Beiping often; fourth, Ruixuan should succeed Mr. Qian and become an editor of underground newspapers , trying to send the manuscript out of the city.Gotta find someone with sharp legs. Ruixuan is happy to be an editor, and Inspector Bai is also willing to run errands.Both of them knew that if this matter was not handled properly, they would lose their heads, but both of them took up the burden without hesitation.The two stared at the lottery for a while, then smiled at each other, as if to say: "If you have to die, it's the most enjoyable and most worthwhile to die like this."

Inspector Bai sent the manuscripts out of the city every day, and then brought back the newspapers.He disguised himself as a small businessman and took different routes every day. He often comes to the sheep pen, but not Ruixuan.He negotiated with Ruixuan not to meet near the sheep pen.Every time he went to the sheep pen, he always looked for John Ding.He talked to John Ding about his business, his difficulties, and other trivial matters, so that John Ding would not doubt him.As long as Ding Yuehan didn't doubt him, no one else in Little Sheepfold would make rumors about him. Young Mistress Qian went to the streets to look for her son every day.Her life was divided into two halves, one half was dead and the other half was alive.She doesn't eat or drink like a dead person, and she doesn't care about housework.Only when she ran all over the city, calling for her son, did she come to life.She ran around, whenever she saw a child with the same stature as her son, she would run over to have a closer look, often frightening the child.Seeing that it wasn't her son, she patted the child on the head lightly and walked away without saying a word.

After looking for it one day, she was so tired that she fell apart and let her two legs drag her home.She doesn't talk to her father, as if he is not her father anymore.At night, she knelt in the yard and prayed: "Father, please bless and protect your son." She could only say this sentence, over and over again. Jin San often clenched his big fist so tightly that his joints rattled.He hired some people to help him find children.Those hired people beat the gong and yelled loudly and walked all over the streets and alleys.He also asked people to write many missing person notices and posted them all over the city.

The Japanese told him that Mr. Qian was treated preferentially in prison and told him not to worry.The Japanese also said that he and his daughter had better write a letter together, advising Mr. Qian not to be stubborn.As long as Mr. Qian is willing to cooperate with the Japanese, not only Mr. Qian can become a high-ranking official, but even Jin San can benefit from it. Jin San inquired about the whereabouts of his grandson.The Japanese just smiled slightly and didn't talk to each other.He understood that the child was probably taken by the Japanese, and if Mr. Qian did not agree to their conditions, they would kill the child.Jin San had no choice but to agree to write to Mr. Qian.If faith had worked, the child might not suffer for now.He asked someone to write a letter and handed it over to the Japanese.

As soon as the letter was sent, he regretted it.He knew how tough and stubborn his in-laws were.If Mr. Qian refused to cooperate with the Japanese after reading the letter, wouldn't Jin San send the child to death? He then begged the Japanese to let him see Mr. Qian.He thought that as long as he saw his in-laws, he could explain everything clearly and ask for forgiveness; but the Japanese kept shaking their heads.
