Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Your Child is in Danger Now
The village chief and the woman behind him exchanged a glance, “This… might not be a good idea, you guys are still filming, we don’t want to bother you.”
“It’s no problem,” Jiang Li said. “The more people we have, the better chance we have of solving your urgent problem.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up instantly, and she hastily nudged the village chief.
“Xiao Hu’s dad, this girl makes sense, they are from the media, maybe they can actually help us find someone.”
The village chief still had a stern expression, “We can just call more people to search the mountains, you folks came all the way here and don’t even have a place to stay; how can we make you run around with us.”
The middle-aged woman was clearly anxious, she pushed him aside and stepped forward to Jiang Li, then glanced at the camera. freewёbnoνel.com
“That’s right, Miss; I have a son, who just turned seven this year. The kid’s mischievous and often goes out to play with other children in the village, but he always comes back on time, so we didn’t worry about it.”
“But, but…” The woman began to sob again, “But today, all the other children came back, but there’s no sign of Xiao Hu, and no one knows where he is, we’ve already sent people to look for him, but there’s still no news.”
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and suddenly grabbed Jiang Li’s hand, “Right, Miss, you came from over that mountain, have you seen my Xiao Hu?”
Jiang Li shook her head, “We didn’t meet anyone on the road.”
Upon hearing this, the woman grew even more desperate, anxiously stomping her feet on the spot.
“It’s all my fault, all my fault, I should have kept a closer eye.”
The village chief pulled her back, “Alright, stop embarrassing yourself, they are still filming. Xiao Hu isn’t a three-year-old anymore, maybe he’s just having too much fun to want to come home. We shouldn’t delay these folks anymore, let’s go search ourselves.”
“Or you could give me his Four Pillars of Destiny, and I could help you find him.”
Jiang Li’s soft murmur left everyone present baffled.
Even the live-streaming audience hadn’t reacted yet.
[Did I hear that wrong? Why does Jiang Li want someone else’s Four Pillars of Destiny?]
[I’m already anxious to death, this child is missing, what does she need the birthdate for? Is she doing this for the show?]
[Exactly, does she have no sympathy? Can’t she see how desperate the child’s mother is? She’s just wasting time! So frustrating!]
The village chief was also confused, “Miss, what do you need Xiao Hu’s Four Pillars of Destiny for?”
Jiang Li spoke calmly, “We just came down from that mountain, and all the crew members are present, if we encountered any lost child, we would have informed you immediately. Clearly, your child is not in that area, so instead of wasting time searching, why not let me try?”
Jiang Yan, who had found a rock to rest on, heard this and couldn’t help but snort.
“You might actually let her try, this girl knows how to tell fortunes, she has used this method to locate me several times before.”
Although he still found the concept far-fetched, the facts had shut him up.
Despite Jiang Yan’s explanation, the village chief was still doubtful.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in this, on the contrary, he had even sought help from accomplished spiritual practitioners.
But predicting fortunes and Feng Shui were plausible; how could anyone calculate a person’s location based on their birthdate?
Moreover, the other party was still a young girl.
The village chief laughed dryly, “No need to bother, it’s getting late, you folks should go back to doing your own thing. If we really can’t find him, we will go to the police.”
With that, he made a gesture as if he was ready to leave.
However, the village chief’s wife stayed behind, holding a glimmer of hope as she looked at Jiang Li.
“Can you really find Xiao Hu?”
Jiang Li nodded.
“Alright, I’ll tell you his Four Pillars of Destiny now.”
The woman promptly recited her child’s birthdate.
Unlike her husband, she didn’t see the young girl before her as naive and inexperienced.
