But Mrs. Ruanlin couldn’t eat a bite. She shook her head and said, “You go ahead and eat. Don’t starve yourselves.” Then she looked at Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms, who also hadn’t slept all night and didn’t look good, “Jiaojiao, are you hungry? Mom doesn’t have the energy to steam eggs for you, would it be okay to just eat something?”
“Mom, I’m not hungry.” Ruan Jiaojiao had long since regarded the Ruan family as her own home. Now that such an incident had occurred, she was also filled with anxiety and had no appetite whatsoever.
She stretched out her little arms to hug Mrs. Ruanlin’s arm, comforting her in a soft voice, “Mom, Uncle Second won’t be in trouble.”
“Hmm.” Mrs. Ruanlin patted her little head, then fell silent again.
The others couldn’t really eat either. Ruan Wei was huddled in the corner wiping away tears. Ruan Jie approached to pat his shoulder. Ruan Wei immediately looked up with red eyes and asked him, “Fourth brother, Dad won’t be in trouble, will he?”
“Of course not,” Ruan Jie nodded in affirmation.
Ruan Wei looked at him and couldn’t help bursting into tears again.
Ruan Jianguo had hurried back from town by a little after eight in the morning, accompanied by the spouses from the third and fourth branches of the family. Although they had reported to the police, the officials had said it would take a full seventy-two hours before they could file a missing person report, so no police followed them back.
Du Qing walked past Liao Zhaoji, who sat disheveled on the ground, and went straight to Mrs. Ruanlin. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao squinting her eyes listlessly, she was overwhelmed with pity and took her into her embrace.
“Mom, don’t worry. Uncle Second will be fine. We’re going to search the mountains right now,” said Ruan Jianjun as he arrived, bringing along several of his coworkers.
Liao Zhaoji, with tears in her eyes, looked towards them and nodded vigorously.
Mrs. Ruanlin also nodded at them, attempting to get up. But having sat for too long and not eaten, she nearly fell as she rose. Fortunately, Ruan Jiaojiao and Du Qing were quick to assist her.
“Mom, you can’t go on like this. You have to eat something. And the rest of you too. Even if you have to go up the mountain, you must eat first!” Wu Le said, and went off to prepare food in the kitchen.
Soon, he had cooked a pot of sweet potato rice, accompanied by a few small dishes.
Ruan Jianguo had also been up all night and was now woozy with hunger. He sat down and ate several large bowls of rice. Once everyone had finished eating, they immediately set off to the back mountain. Many villagers also joined, making the group at least twenty to thirty strong.
Mrs. Ruanlin also forced herself to eat some food and, disregarding everyone’s objections, followed them as well.
Only a few kids, along with Ruan Jiaojiao, were left behind.
But how could the little ones possibly stay put? No sooner had the adults left than the kids followed on their heels, with Ruan Jiaojiao naturally among them.
The two groups did not run into each other on the back mountain because the adults, not finding Ruan Jiandang there, moved on to search the outer perimeter of the front mountain while Ruan Jiaojiao and the others continued to search the back mountain.

They searched diligently, calling out for Ruan Jiandang all the while, completely unaware of the rustling noises among the trees. By the time they noticed, it was too late.
Hundreds of monkeys swarmed above their heads in the trees.
One monkey, clearly the leader, swiftly leaped down from a large tree and darted toward Ruan Jiaojiao and Ruan Lei.
Ruan Lei, taken aback by a monkey suddenly jumping in front of him, instinctively stepped back two paces. By the time he reacted, he saw the monkey scoop up Ruan Jiaojiao and bound up the tree.
“Jiaojiao!”
“Sister!”
Everyone was shocked, watching helplessly as the monkey fled with Ruan Jiaojiao into the treetops, disappearing from view in an instant, heading toward the front mountain.
“Sister…” Little Fatty just sat down on the ground, completely stunned.
