Seeing Uncle Wang come out, Granny Ye said anxiously, "Uncle Wang, I need you to run down to the entrance of the village and check, our Xixi received a phone call after dinner, saying that relatives from the city had sent some tonics over, but she's been gone for a long time and hasn't come back. It's already dark, and I'm worried about her."
After hearing this, Uncle Wang was also startled and asked, "How long has she been gone?"
Granny Ye's voice trembled with urgency, "Almost an hour now."
"Could she have gone somewhere else?" Uncle Wang asked.
But Granny Ye shook her head, "No, she wouldn't. She knows my health isn't good and wouldn't wander off too far. Even if she had something to do, she would have informed me in advance. She wouldn't let me wait too long. Uncle Wang, please help me find her, my legs just aren't working anymore…"
Seeing how anxious the old lady was, Uncle Wang immediately agreed, "Alright, I'll go and put on a jacket and then leave right away."
