As a result, Xiaowen also sent people to inquire at the neighbouring county offices. They did indeed find something: the Peach Blossom Village in Hengling Town, Shaping County next door, had reported a case of a missing three-year-old girl. Coupled with what Xiaobao said about her home having many peaches, it seemed very likely that Xiaobao was a child from the neighboring Peach Blossom Village.
For the past few days, Xiaobao had been very attached to Xiaomei, and Xiaomei was equally fond of her. Xiaomei taught Xiaobao to recognize characters every day. Xiaobao was smart and, within a few days, she managed to recognize more than twenty characters under Xiaomei's guidance, particularly the names Xiaobao, Xiaomei, Liuliu and Xiaoquan, she knew them very well.
