The twins were only six years old, small in size but large in courage. Carrying their bundles, they left home, and soon the entire Zhou Family Village knew because of Zhou Shuren's influence and the assistance he had given to the clan over the years, everyone who was at home went out to search for the children.
The children couldn't move that quickly, and in the cold, surely they couldn't have gone far.
But even after following the road all the way to the county town, there was no sign of the two children, not even their footprints. Though, there were traces of horse-drawn carriages on the road.
Xue Mei covered her face and cried, "It's all my fault, all my fault. If I hadn't disagreed, they wouldn't have been so defiant and left on their own."
Dong Yiyi didn't know how to comfort Xue Mei. The Jiang family's twins were famously bold and mischievous in the village, but she was truly shocked that they dared to leave home on such a cold winter day.
