Chapter 128 The Search Continues
If it is human teeth, it doesn't look like it! Who would want these newborn teeth? The oldest is only one or two years old.

As for the child, he is definitely not here. There is no furniture in the house at all, and it would be easy to find if you searched.

Tang Wentao had no choice but to retreat. As for what secrets the owner of the house had, he would slowly find out later.

Wu Qingping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the yamen runners leave his house.

As a result, they relaxed a little too early. After a stick of incense had passed, the yamen runners came back.

Of course, Tang Wentao also came back with them. Tang Wentao definitely did not find the child in the village. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Someone did see today a young man hurriedly carrying a child back to the village.

But now the child was not found, and the bandits also did not find the child, so where did the child go? Did he grow wings and fly away?

You know, since the child was lost, all nearby villages have been blocked and there are people guarding the intersections. This means that the child must be in the village.

In fact, the families in this village are all honest and ordinary, with several people, young and old, or even more than ten people. If there is any special family, it must be Wu Qingping's family.

Tang Wentao felt that this matter was related to Wu Qingping, but there was no need to search their house, so where was the child? These questions made Tang Wentao's head bald.

There was really no other way, so he came up with a stupid idea. He asked the yamen runners to disperse and go to check wherever there was a child crying. There was no need to distinguish between a rich little prince and a country monkey, they could tell the difference at a glance.

Tang Wentao went to the home of Wu Qingping, who was the one he was most interested in. He had too many questions, and now that he had time, he decided to satisfy his curiosity! Tang Wentao told himself this.

Tang Wentao appeared in front of Wu Qingping, who had just breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Qingping was startled. Tang Wentao asked, "Is the child at your house?"

"The bandits asked the same question just now." Wu Qingping muttered.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Tang Wentao felt that he didn't look fierce! Why was this person so scared?

Wu Qingping didn't say anything, and Tang Wentao didn't care. He saw the milk bottle in the room, picked it up and asked, "What is this? What is it used for?"

"A milk bottle, for feeding the baby."

Well, this is easy to understand.

Then he pointed to the milk powder bucket next to him and asked, "What is this?"

"Powdered milk is made into a dry product from milk. When you want to drink it, mix it with warm water and give it to the children."

This is easy to understand. It can be seen that it is for these children to drink, which is indeed convenient.

Rich families would buy a cow or sheep to produce milk for their family members to drink, but I have never seen milk processed into a dry product to be mixed with water when drinking.

Tang Wentao was very interested in this: "How do I mix it? Should I pour a little milk powder and add a bottle of water?"

"No, there is a ratio. For children of this age, we need to scoop three spoonfuls of milk powder and add this much water each time." Wu Qingping pointed to several newborn babies.

"Why are there so many bottles there?" Tang Wentao pointed at the bottles on the stone table, and it was obvious that they were all in use. "One for each child, and wash them with water after they drink, so they can be used next time." Wu Qingping was very knowledgeable when it came to raising children.

Such a meticulous eating habit is only found in the top families in Beijing, with regular times, quantitative amounts, and constant temperature. But it doesn't match this extremely simple room.

"Who taught you this? And where did you buy these things?"

With all these, why do we need a wet nurse? A wet nurse can get sick or have inconveniences. With these things, you can see that Wu Qingping, a man, can still take good care of several children.

Tang Wentao still lacks experience. Bottles and milk powder alone cannot keep a child clean. All this is thanks to diapers.

"These things were given by others. I couldn't afford to buy them even if I sold myself. They taught me how to take care of children," said Wu Qingping.

Wu Qingping also wanted to talk to Tang Wentao a few more words to see what happened to the child today. It would be better if the child could be sent back to his parents. Judging from the child's clothes, his family should be well off.

But he didn't know what the relationship was between the young man in official uniform and the child. If he handed the child over to him, would it be bad for the child? Wu Qingping didn't know all this, so he just waited and saw what kind of person he was, and then made a decision.

"Who gave it to you? Can I buy it?" The person who gave it to Wu Qingping must have seen that he was very poor, and Tang Wentao did not intend to take advantage of him.

"They are not from here, but they are very kind. If you want to buy something, they will definitely sell it to you. They are sellers and they own a very large store," said Wu Qingping.

"Then can you take me with you next time you go?" Tang Wentao expressed his desire to go.

"No problem, anytime is fine," said Wu Qingping.

Tang Wentao didn't expect Wu Qingping to agree so readily without asking for any benefits.

"Then it's settled. We'll go after today's matter is settled, okay?" Tang Wentao really wanted to go now.

"What happened today? Who was missing? Why are you looking for him in such a big way?" It seems that the child is of extraordinary status!
Tang Wentao thought that there was nothing he couldn't tell anyone, as everyone in the city knew everything they should know.

"The daughter of my uncle in Beijing is going to Yangzhou to visit relatives. She is having some difficulty acclimatizing here, so she plans to rest here for a few days."

"As a result, they arrived yesterday. This morning, a woman took the child away and never came back. My uncle's daughter was afraid that the child might have an accident, so she took the letter and came to me for help. I have a feeling that the matter is not simple, mainly because the child's father has a special identity. I won't say more about this."

"My uncle's daughter couldn't come forward, so I asked her and the government servants to guard several intersections and then slowly search for him," said Tang Wentao.

"Then why are you still here? It's better to find the child as soon as possible." See what they are investigating?
"Today, someone saw an old woman carrying a child up the Centipede Mountain opposite. Later, someone else saw a man carrying a child down the Centipede Mountain. The child was wearing silk, so there was no mistake. We got the information one step later than the bandits. I am sure that they did not find the child, so the child must still be nearby, so I will look for him nearby." Tang Wentao analyzed.

"Then have you ever thought that the child might no longer be here?" Wu Qingping asked.

"Oh my God! No way! That guy really wants to kill someone! I'll have to suffer the consequences too." Tang Wentao's handsome face couldn't help but change whenever he thought of this possibility.
