Chapter 579
But in the spring of 1970, something happened to Lin Geng's family. That year, when little Lin Yi was five years old and Lin's younger daughter Lin Xi was two years old and almost three years old, one afternoon, Lin Yi took his sister Lin Xi, the son and daughter of Sha Zhu's family, the son of Xu Damao and several other children to play in the yard as usual.
Yu Li was pregnant again at this time, and was already six months pregnant. It was a little inconvenient for her to move around. At the same time, Zhao Erya and Qin Jingru were also pregnant again. The three pregnant women got together at the Lin family and chatted about some family gossip.
After a group of children played in the yard for a while, they ran outside the yard to play under the leadership of Lin Yi, the leader of the children. For such a long time, these little guys played wildly in and out of the yard every day, and nothing happened, so no one paid much attention to it.
It happened that Lin Geng was free that day and felt like hunting, so he took Dahuang and Erhei with him and went out of the city to find a mountain to hunt. So Dahuang and Erhei, who usually followed Lin Yi, were not at home that day.
A group of children were playing in the alley outside until around five o'clock. When the adults at home started to cook, Lin Yi suddenly ran back to the yard with the group of children in a panic. When he saw Yu Li, he burst into tears.
Yu Li was preparing to cook when she saw Lin Yi burst into tears and look frightened as soon as he saw her. She was startled and asked Lin Yi what was wrong. However, what Lin Yi and Sha Zhu's eldest son said next almost made Yu Li faint on the spot.
Because Lin Yi cried and told Yu Li that they were playing outside just now, and his younger sister Lin Xi, who was younger than them, ran after them and disappeared without knowing when. When they remembered, they couldn't find Lin Xi anywhere.
When Yu Li heard this, she was so frightened that her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground against the door. Then she struggled to get up with a pale face and hurried to call the people in the yard, telling them that her little girl Lin Xi was missing and asking them to help go out and look for her.
In fact, in this era, every household has many children, and there are not many people who steal children, but child stealing does still exist.
When the people in the yard heard that it was Lin Xi, the little girl of the Lin Geng family, who was missing, they were immediately in an uproar. Almost all the adults and boys in the yard rushed out of the yard. Even the neighbors in the two next door courtyards heard the news and went out to help look for her.
Yu Li was already terrified at this time. She cried and held Lin Yi's hand with her big belly, and went out of the yard to look for her everywhere. People working in the factory also got the news. When Sha Zhu and Xu Damao heard that Lin Xi from the Lin family was missing, they ran home without saying a word. They first stopped Zhao Erya and Qin Jingru who were also out on the streets looking for their child. After all, they were both pregnant and their bellies were very big, and they didn't dare to let anything happen to them.
Then the two men took people to the street and found Yu Li, who was crying and stumbling around looking for her child in a daze. After a good deal of comfort, they persuaded Yu Li to go home and ask her to take Lin Yi to wait at home. With so many people helping her look outside, they would definitely find the child.
Xu Damao also ran to the police station and the street office to inform them of the news that Lin Geng's daughter was missing. If it were an ordinary person, the police station and the street office probably would not take it too seriously. After all, children getting lost happens almost every day, and the current environment is extremely chaotic. Both the street office and the police station are overwhelmed and the society is in chaos, and they cannot manage it at all.
However, when they heard that Lin Geng's child was missing, both the street office and the police station attached great importance to it and immediately dispatched personnel or police forces to help start the search.
Sha Zhu called all his apprentices in the cafeteria and colleagues with whom he had a good relationship, and asked them to help search all over the street. However, when it was getting dark, they still hadn't found Lin Xi, which made everyone worried.
But the search was not without results. When someone nearby heard that the child was missing, he told the neighbors in the courtyard. He said that he saw a boy and a little girl walking past him in the afternoon. The little girl was dressed like the lost girl they were talking about.
But he didn't know the boy and thought they were a brother and sister, and the brother was playing with his sister, so he didn't pay attention to where they went.
At this point everyone started to get worried. It was basically certain that a young boy had taken Xiao Linxi away, but no one could tell exactly in which direction he had gone.
At this time, the number of people involved in the search for Xiao Lin Xi had exceeded a hundred. Without a clear direction, everyone could only disperse helplessly and ask people everywhere if they had seen a middle-aged woman with a little girl.
But after asking around, although I heard from several people that there was a middle-aged woman taking a little girl to play on the street, but in the end, I found that everyone ruled out that it was Xiao Lin Xi, which made me quite frustrated.
Including the personnel from the police station and the street office, they were unable to find many effective clues. They only found out that Lin Xiaoxi was taken away by a middle-aged woman. However, that middle-aged woman looked very ordinary, without any obvious features. The people who saw her did not pay attention to her appearance, and did not even remember what she was wearing. They just glanced at her without paying much attention, nor did they notice which direction she took Lin Xiaoxi.
So based on this little clue, it is basically impossible to find Lin Xiaoxi. Such a large group of people searched until dark but still failed to find the missing Lin Xi. At this time, everyone can conclude that someone kidnapped little Lin Xi, but no one knows whether it was a human trafficker.
Yu Li was anxiously waiting for news at home, but she waited and waited but there was no news of finding Xiao Linxi. Yu Li was so anxious that she sat at home crying. Even Xiao Linyi started crying anxiously and kept saying sorry to Yu Li, saying that it was all his fault that he did not take good care of his sister and let her be taken away by bad guys.
Fortunately, Lin Geng went into the mountains today and did not stay overnight. After all, he had a wife and children at home, and Yu Li was still pregnant, so he was not very worried. So although he returned home late, he still rode his tricycle at night and rushed home with a few hunted pheasants, rabbits and a half-grown wild boar.
Before Lin Geng reached home, he ran into Sha Zhu and Yan Jiekuang, who were wandering around the street like headless flies. The two were riding their bicycles around Nanluoguxiang, looking for Lin Xi's whereabouts.
As soon as he saw Lin Geng pedaling his tricycle slowly towards home, Sha Zhu immediately rushed over and shouted to Lin Geng: "Lin Zi, why did you come back just now? I don't know if your Lin Xi was kidnapped by that bastard! You still have the heart to walk here slowly!"
