There are only these two possibilities in total.
If his wife is in this town, he would search house by house to find her.
But if she has been taken away, he must investigate the comings and goings at the checkpoints, calculate those who have entered and left the town recently.
He and Haoming split into two groups, with Haoming commanding the small animals to gather information in the town to see if any new faces have been lodging or staying in the town recently.
Currently, he does not know his wife's situation, but Shujun guesses that her situation must be dire. Otherwise, she would have found a way to escape after being kidnapped, rather than be taken away so easily.
He calculated in his mind that the team that took his wife, including his wife, must have at least four people. A carriage needs a driver, and there are hoof prints on both sides of the carriage, indicating a horse is accompanying the carriage on each side.
So he guessed the target was four people.
