Chapter 30 I hope you'll take my good wishes
"It's been five hours since he was lost." Xiao Xue wiped away her tears and sobbed uncontrollably. "With the current level of transportation convenience, my child could have ended up anywhere by now. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stubbornly refused to go out today and let my mother-in-law take the child out alone. It's all my fault."
Xia Wange stared at Xiao Xue's face for a long time through the reflection in the glass.
"Did your mother-in-law say something today that made you refuse to take your child out?"
Xiao Xue said, "My mother-in-law said today that my breast milk is not good, and that the baby is always hungry and much thinner than other babies. I said that I wake up every night to breastfeed, so I can't get any rest. If it's not enough, I will feed the baby formula."
"My mother-in-law disagreed, but then she told me to stay home and catch up on my sleep while she went out to the park to walk the baby. I was so tired, and I had been taking care of the baby all morning, so I was a bit exhausted and agreed."
At this point, Xiao Xue was already sobbing uncontrollably. "She often takes the child out alone, but today, an elderly person suddenly collapsed in front of her. She was startled, her attention was drawn to the scene, and when she turned around, she found that the child had been taken away! We saw the surveillance footage; it was a short woman in a red dress who took the child. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
Xia Wange gazed ahead, her eyes deep and thoughtful, and softly asked, "Daughter?"
"Yes, I gave birth to a baby girl. She's very cute. She smiles whenever I tease her, and she even has two dimples when she smiles." Xiao Xue was already crying uncontrollably.
Xia Wange said in a cold voice, "Didn't your mother-in-law always urge you to have a second child?"
Hearing this, the other person sighed, "My mother-in-law always says, 'Luckily I had a natural birth, I can have a second child soon.' I get angry. I say we agreed we only want one child, and I take care of the baby every night. I don't want to go through that again.' Then she says that not having a son means the family line will end. At this point, my husband will join me in saying that we don't have a throne to inherit, we don't need a son, a daughter is enough. Then my mother-in-law will go back to her room in a huff, but after a while she'll be fine and continue to help us. My mother-in-law is a very good person, just a bit sharp-tongued. She works very hard and has helped us a lot."
Hearing this, Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange and saw that her face was frighteningly cold. He had some guesses in his mind.
Sensing a flicker of anger burning within Xia Wange, Lu Qiu changed the subject, "Does the method you're using have a name?"
After a moment, Xia Wange opened her eyes. "This method is called 'rope (divine) incense guiding'."
The driver, Xiao Liu, also spoke up at the opportune moment, "Um, Master Xia, is this considered a secret? I'm just a little curious about how that talisman suddenly caught fire on its own."
"We used white phosphorus," Xia Wange said.
"Huh? White phosphorus?" Driver Liu exclaimed in shock. "So the whole bowl burning after being thrown in was also because of white phosphorus?"
"Because of alcohol," Xia Wange said matter-of-factly.
Suddenly, driver Xiao Liu's voice rose two or three octaves, "Alcohol?!"
"Yeah." After the car exited the highway, Xia Wange noticed that the smoke had shortened and the gears had sped up considerably. "Pull over, I'll drive."
After saying that, she added, "Don't be so superstitious at such a young age. Believe in science. Starting a fire with bare hands is something only gods do."
Xiao Liu, who had moved to the back seat, watched the ever-changing cigarette smoke and held his breath.
You're like this, and you're telling me not to be superstitious?!
Huh? Who would believe that? My worldview has changed, and you want me to change it back?!
After a few lighthearted banter, Xiao Xue's initially somber mood eased somewhat. However, as Xia Wange drove through the winding alleys of the countryside without slowing down, her heart began to race again.
"Xiao Xue, open the navigation and see what the name of that village in the southwest is," Xia Wange instructed.
Xiao Xue immediately opened the navigation and took a look. "It's called Chenjia Village. Chenjia Village... I think my mother-in-law's hometown is also called Chenjia Village. I went there once during the day before."
"Call 120 and tell them that there is a three-month-old baby in Chenjia Village who is about to stop breathing and needs emergency treatment."
Xiao Xue's heart leaped into her throat. With trembling hands, she quickly dialed 120. Following Xia Wange's instructions, after speaking, she collapsed into her seat as if all her strength had left her. She dared not think about anything more, nor dared to ask anything more.
After a moment, she stared blankly at the farmers passing by outside the window and said, "Master, am I hallucinating? I feel like I've been to this place before."
Xia Wange lit a stick of incense, held it between her fingers, and said while driving, "What kind of coincidence is that? Chenjia Village is the same Chenjia Village you've been to."
In an instant, Xiao Xue's eyes widened, her breathing became rapid, she turned around and pressed her face against the glass window, staring intently outside, until she saw many houses that she had seen briefly during the day.
Suddenly, she clenched her fists and broke down in tears, crying, "Chenjia Village! It's Chenjia Village! What a Chenjia Village! Hahahaha, hahahaha, it's like this! I always bought her this and that, afraid of mistreating her! I even gave her money every month, afraid she might be unhappy, and this is what happened! It's like this! I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid!"
"We're here," Xia Wange said softly as she parked the car.
Xiao Xue immediately stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and her eyes were full of determination.
Xiao Liu got out of the car. Lu Qiu glanced at the wheelchair, then at the somewhat rugged road in front of him, and shook his head, saying, "I'm not going. I'll wait for you in the car."
"You have to go," Xia Wange said solemnly. "You are very important."
After saying that, Xia Wange pushed the wheelchair forward according to Xiang's instructions, and said, "Xiao Liu, carry him."
"Okay." Xiao Liu immediately picked up Lu Qiu and followed behind him without asking his employer.
Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange pushing the empty wheelchair, pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Finally, they stopped in front of a dry well, which had been covered with a heavy iron lid. The area around the well was covered in dust, but there wasn't much dust on the lid itself, making it clear that it had been added later.
Xiao Xue completely broke down and rushed forward to lift the lid, but Xia Wange held it down and said to Lu Qiu, who had already been moved to a wheelchair, "You do it."
Lu Qiu was slightly taken aback, then nodded and held the lid in both hands.
"Think of something positive," Xia Wange said to Lu Qiu, holding the other side of the lid.
Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange and said softly, "She will definitely turn danger into safety, and her future will be bright."
Xia Wange gave her first genuine smile of the night, "Thank you for your kind words."
