"The one I tore up was just a free manuscript I wrote in my free time." Shen Runsheng sneered and said, at the beginning, Qian Cui'er got him drunk, and the two had that kind of relationship, even though she was pregnant with his child later, but However, the feeling of being calculated by others is unpleasant.
Besides, how can Qian Cuier compare with Li Xiangcao? He was always on guard against her.
"You?" Qian Cui'er's face changed drastically, and she rushed towards him like crazy, wanting to tear him apart.
Seeing that the two husband and wife were about to fight again, the two yamen servants were also irritable, and they simply pulled out the sabers in their waists, which frightened the two of them.
When Li Xiangcao saw this scene, she also felt chills from the bottom of her heart. Since they got together and even gave birth to a baby, why bother to plot against each other like enemies
Other people's affairs have nothing to do with their own.
Li Xiangcao took Zhang Ben's arm, "Let's go."
"Leave him alone?" Zhang Ben lowered his head, staring at her with complicated eyes.
Li Xiangcao glanced at him and let go of his arm, "You want me to take care of him? All right, I'll go right away."
"Daughter-in-law." Zhang Ben hurriedly hugged her by the waist, rubbed his chin against her hair, and snorted almost coquettishly, "No, I don't want you to go."
Fool, isn't this the end of the story, and you still have to ask her in that tone? Do you not believe her? Li Xiangcao turned her head and glanced at him, "You don't want me to go, but you still ask me like that, are you jealous?"
Under the night, Zhang Ben looked embarrassed, "Daughter-in-law, let's go to Zhang's mansion to pick up someone."
"Hmm." Thinking of Li Mo and Li Yan, Li Xiangcao felt that she could rest assured only after seeing someone with her own eyes.
The couple hurried to the direction of Zhang's mansion. Later, Shen Runsheng saw that she left without saying a word, without even looking back, and never cared about him at all. His heart became gray for no reason, and he felt resentful. .
"Hmph, you are considered a treasure, but they treat you as a grass, Shen Runsheng, you deserve it." Seeing his ugly look, Qian Cui'er sneered gleefully.
Shen Runsheng turned his face to look at her, with an indescribably gloomy expression, "Think about it, how can you justify yourself in court later?"
"Me." Speaking of this, Qian Cui'er panicked, she didn't know whether Qian San had confessed to her or not.
However, even if you want to blackmail people's money, it's not that you didn't get it in the end. This shouldn't constitute a serious crime, right
Thinking about it, Shen Runsheng and Qian Cui'er were escorted to the county government office by the government officials.
On the other side, Li Xiangcao and Zhang Ben were rushing towards the Zhang Mansion without stopping, but they were blocked by a carriage halfway.
Zhang Ben was about to have an attack when the carriage stopped, and Li Mo and the others got out of the carriage quickly.
"Sister, why are you here?"
With the light of the lantern, Li Xiangcao saw Li Mo and the others clearly, and immediately wept with joy, "Li Mo, are you all right?"
"Everything is fine." Li Man rushed over and supported Li Xiangcao.
Li Xiangcao wiped her tears with her sleeve, and choked up, "It's all my fault, which caused you to suffer."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. The villain is just using you as an excuse. Without you, he will definitely use other methods." Li Man comforted.
Li Xiangcao only nodded slightly. In fact, she knew that this matter had something to do with her. If it wasn't for her, how could Qian San not be able to find the Li family's handle.
But now that everyone is fine, she is relieved.
"Auntie and the others are still waiting at home. Let's get in the car first, and we'll talk when we go back." Li Yan said.
"Yes." Everyone nodded and got into the carriage together.
On the way, Li Man and the others were curious as to how the county magistrate cleared the case so quickly.
But the answer surprised them.
Because, it seems that the process of trial has not yet been reached.
Li Mo and Li Yan were taken to the cell, and before they stayed for a quarter of an hour, they were taken to the lobby by the yamen servants.
At this time, the county magistrate seemed to have asked about the facts of the case, and only said that they were wronged and released in court.
Then, they followed Zhang Jing back.
Therefore, as for how the case will be tried, they do not know.
After hearing this, Li Man sighed. Could it be that the county magistrate has some friendship with the Zhang family? This is obviously using the public to seek personal gain. Although Li Mo and others were wronged, they were released in court. Hey, they were indeed quicker and decisive.
However, this result was the best for her.
Not wanting to think about those other things, Li Man just leaned against Li Mo's side, looking at him, Li Yan, and Li Hua, as long as they were all right by her side.
The speed of the carriage was fast, and it stopped in the courtyard of the Li family after more than an hour.
The lights in the main room of Li's house were still on, and Li Xiangyu and Li Shu were sitting there staring at each other. Neither of them could fall asleep, but they had nothing to say, because when they spoke, it was Li Mo and Li Yan's business. Open your mouth, there is nothing else but worrying.
But when both of them were missing, the carriage entered the yard.
Li Man's shout woke up the two people in the main room.
"Auntie, Li Shu, we are back."
This sound, like a stimulant, immediately caused the two people in the room to rush out of the room almost immediately.
Seeing so many people getting out of the carriage, both of them were very excited.
"Boss, second child, are you all alright? Are you suffering?" Li Xiangyu pulled Li Mo and Li Yan to look up and down, with tears in his eyes again.
"Auntie, we are all fine." Li Mo comforted her and helped her into the house together.
Everyone sat around in the main room, and Li Mo told about the county government, Li Xiangcao about her going to Shen Runsheng, and Li Man about her asking Mrs. Zhang for help.
After finishing speaking, Li Xiangyu sighed, "The Zhang family is a good family. We owe it to them this time. We can't be ungrateful. Another day, boss, you must prepare a generous gift and come to the door to thank you in person."
"En." Li Mo nodded, even without Li Xiangyu's words, he would have gone.
"Have the children all fallen asleep?" Li Man got up, went to the side room again, and looked at the children.
Looking at it this way, I am happy.
There was no light in the room, but it was so dark that the two children didn't sleep, and they were having a good time playing.
Especially the boss, who knew she was back, crawled towards the bed with his ass pouted. If she hadn't come a step earlier, this little thing was destined to fall off the bed again.
The second child is not honest, although he didn't crawl around, but his legs were raised high, and his socks were taken off at some point. Once, once to the right, as if those little feet were particularly delicious pig's trotters, the one you gnawed made a sizzle.
When Li Xiangcao came over with the oil lamp, everyone was happy to see these two little things.
Li Man picked up the eldest child, and stuffed her back into the quilt, Li Xiangcao picked up the second child, put on socks for him, and then put her under the quilt as well.
"I'll come, children. You all need to wash up first, and then get a good night's sleep." Li Xiangyu said.
Li Shu hurriedly said, "I'll boil the water first."
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go get some food." Li Xiangcao also followed.
Li Man hurriedly said, "We've eaten. Have you eaten with my little uncle?"
Li Xiangcao shook her head, "Come on, I'll cook some noodles, sister, you and Li Shu didn't eat either."
"Oh." Li Xiangyu looked up and thought, "Yeah, I forgot if you didn't tell me, but I'm really hungry. Then you cook more."
"Okay." Li Xiangcao agreed and went to the kitchen.
Li Man saw so many people playing with the children, so she went to help in the kitchen. Li Shu loved the hand-rolled noodles she made.
When she arrived in the kitchen, Li Man started to work. She rolled the noodles herself, and Li Xiangcao washed the vegetables. Li Shu didn't have anything to do. She just stood next to his wife and watched her work quietly. It was dark, but I didn't know what I was thinking about.
☆、Special episode 38 Annoyed
Li Man noticed his strange gaze, and couldn't help asking, "Li Shu, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are so red."
"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu hugged her tightly into his arms, his voice was low and powerful, "I will definitely protect you and our family."
"Yeah." Li Man pushed him lightly, but didn't push him away, she couldn't help shouting, "I know you have this kind of heart, but the water is boiling, and the noodles should be put into the pot, aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry." Li Shu let go of him, and stood aside to watch her busy.
Li Man only thought that he still had lingering fears because of what happened today, and didn't think much about it. She carefully cooked the noodles and served him a bowl first, "Sit down and eat first, I'll call auntie and the others to come over."
Li Shu watched Li Man leave the kitchen quietly, and was stunned for a while, waiting for the sound of footsteps coming from the door, before he picked up the chopsticks and buried himself in eating the noodles.
After most of the night passed, everyone slowly packed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Li's family got up very late, before they had breakfast, Zhang's mansion sent someone over.
One is to bring some supplements, saying it is to scare Li Mo and Li Yan, and the other is to report Qian San's case to Li's family.
In the case closed by the county government last night, Qian San and Qian Cui'er have confessed to their conspiracy to blackmail the Li family's money, and the two bribed government servants have also been put in prison. dispute.
It turned out that although Qian Cui'er and Qian San were cousins, they had already secretly had an affair, and even the child born to Qian Cui'er was also Qian San's seed.
In the previous incident, everyone could already guess such a result, but in the latter incident, people couldn't even think of it.
"Retribution, this is retribution." Only Li Xiangyu felt very happy after listening to it. If she was close to Shen's family, she would like to see Shen Runsheng's current appearance now. Hmph, doting on concubines and destroying wives ended up being a Live bastards, but also raise wives and children for others.
The indescribable feeling in Li Xiangcao's heart was that she could no longer hate Shen Runsheng, or in other words, she had long been indifferent to everything about him, but when she heard such a thing suddenly, she felt a little bit wronged for him.
"Then how is he doing now?" Li Xiangcao asked Nanny Zhang.
Zhang Nanny replied truthfully, "Then Mr. Shen has nothing to do with this case, the county magistrate let him go in court."
"Oh." Li Xiangcao breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.
But Li Xiangyu glanced at her and said displeased, "What? Are you still feeling sorry for that bastard? Have you forgotten how he bullied you back then?"
"No." Li Xiangcao shook her head. It stands to reason that Shen Runsheng's result today is also reaping the fruit of his own accord. It stands to reason that she should be the happiest one, but she is not happy in her heart.
Even if there is no more contact, she still hopes that the man she once loved can really live happily as he hoped.
"What is that? I don't think you look right, Vanilla, don't blame me for not showing you face in front of people. Now that you are married to Zhang Ben, you can no longer think about that Shen. He is dead or alive. It has nothing to do with us, it is better to die, and there is one less scum in this world." Li Xiangyu said viciously.
Li Xiangcao's face really sank, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why am I talking nonsense? Others don't know about your temperament, don't I? I have been soft-hearted since I was a child. Back then, the man surnamed Shen coaxed you to go because of your soft-heartedness. Now, he is down and out and has become a loner again." , it is inevitable that you will no longer be soft-hearted and coaxed away." Li Xiangyu stared at her vigilantly.
Li Xiangcao got up quickly, feeling that she couldn't talk to this sister anymore, so she turned and went back to the house.
Zhang Ben followed closely behind.
Li Xiangyu sighed heavily, "This child, I can't say a word about her yet. Look at her expression changed when she heard about Shen Runsheng just now. When I couldn't see it, she was feeling sorry for that bastard. What do you say Well, that bastard has bullied her all these years, and she doesn't have a long memory. It's such a time, and she still feels sorry for him? If I want to let me go, I have to come to him with drums and drums, and spit on his face hard, blind It’s what you deserve, you deserve it, you deserve it.”
"Auntie." Seeing Li Xiangyu getting more and more indignant, Li Man felt it was funny. However, the longer we got along, the more I felt that this auntie was kind-hearted and straightforward. His speech was not pleasant, but he still had a temper with Li Man.
However, these words were straightforward. After all, there were people from the Zhang family, so Li Man had no choice but to persuade, "Auntie, calm down. Sister-in-law is a kind person, let alone Shen Runsheng. Seeing such a thing, she might be sad. But she won't be soft for that person again, don't worry. "
"Hey." Li Xiangyu sighed softly, "It would be great if you can rest assured, each of you is not reassuring."
She has only lived in her hometown for less than a year, and seeing this happening one after another, she doesn't know what will happen in the future.
Li Man stuck out her tongue playfully, "Don't bother my aunt. By the way, there hasn't been a letter from my aunt for a long time, right?"
"Yes." Li Xiangyu nodded, "The closer the end of the year, the busier the shop will be."
"Someday when I have time, I'll go with my aunt. I haven't seen Ning Ying for a long time, and I really miss her a little bit." Li Man laughed.
When mentioning her daughter, Li Xiangyu's face softened, "Yeah, when this girl is around, it's annoying to be noisy. When she's not around, I really miss her."
"Then it's settled, let's change the sky, let's go to the town and have a look." Li Man
Tang said.
Li Xiangyu also agreed, thinking that she has been busy with her nephew's family for half a year, and neglected her own family. Now that she thinks about it, she also misses her sons and daughters, and the honest man she bullied all her life .
As soon as the atmosphere here eased, Li Man went to Zhang Luo for breakfast to greet Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang didn't mind eating breakfast, but went to work in the kitchen with Li Man.
In the side room, Zhang Ben entered the room with Li Xiangcao. After entering the room, he didn't speak, but stood quietly aside, watching Li Xiangcao sitting alone by the bed and sulking.
"What are you doing here?" After not seeing him for a long time, Li Xiangcao couldn't bear to ask him first.
Zhang Ben just walked up to her, squatted down, looked at her fixedly, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I know what the elder sister said just now was serious. You won't be soft-hearted to Shen Runsheng, will you?"
Li Xiangcao frowned slightly, "What do you think? I have nothing to do with him now, don't you know?"
"Daughter-in-law." Zhang Ben hugged her suddenly, with a trace of tension in his voice.
He is very clear about the past between Li Xiangcao and Shen Runsheng. Back then, she was able to marry into the Shen family, but she envied so many girls' families.
And the Shen family is a scholarly family. Shen Runsheng is elegant and has read a lot of books. He has been in love with Li Xiangcao for ten years. It shows that this man still can't let Li Xiangcao go in his heart.
And Zhang Ben, besides being able to give her him, has nothing else to give her, even, he can't even write her name.
"Fool." After all, Li Xiangcao has been here and is a few years older than him, so she can see his thoughts clearly, "Yes, I am sad, just because he will encounter such a thing, I feel very sorry. But it has nothing to do with our relationship. Now, you and I belong to the same family, and he is an outsider to me. For an outsider, if he encounters suffering, I will feel sad, but I won't be so stupid as to sacrifice your and my happiness to bear it for him."
Zhang Ben was stunned, then grinned, "Daughter-in-law, what do you mean, from now on, you belong to me alone?"
"Otherwise?" Li Xiangcao stretched out her hand and poked him on the forehead angrily, "It's all right for the elder sister to say so, and you think the same way, it's really annoying."
"Okay, I don't think so anymore, I don't think so anymore, you belong to me, but mine alone." After hearing what she said just now, Zhang Ben's heart finally fell into his chest.
However, although the Qian San incident has passed, the influence it brought has been pervasive in the Li family, including Zhang Ben.
The first thing I want to talk about is Zhang Ben. Since then, he has been running to Li’s house every three days. It’s not because his wife is here, but because Li Xiangcao is not around, he sneaks here alone. When he comes, he looks for Li Hua. , Then, I nestled in Li Hua's room and asked him to teach me to read and write, with an extremely serious and hardworking attitude.
Later, Li Man secretly told this matter to Li Xiangcao. Li Xiangcao was helpless and funny. There was only one thing Zhang Ben thought he could not compare with Shen Runsheng, and that was that he had never read a book. Pull it out from the bottom of Li Xiangcao's heart.
However, this is completely superfluous. Ever since she agreed to marry Zhang Ben, Li Xiangcao's heart is full of only this man, and the reason why she doesn't expose this matter is because she feels that reading and writing is not a bad thing. Being able to use this as a motivation to let Zhang Ben read more books made her worry free.
However, apart from Zhang Ben, several men in the Li family seemed to have changed too. This change was subtle, but the sensitive Li Man still noticed it.
Li Mo became more silent, and after buying the land, he only said hello to her, and in the days that followed, he devoted himself to the affairs of the land.
Li Yan seems to be more and more enthusiastic about business matters. She used to urge him to take care of the store in the town, and it took her a lot of effort to coax him. Now, he goes out consciously every day. He heard from Li Hua that he has a lot of business. However, when Li Man asked him about this, he refused to tell her in detail.
For this reason, Li Man was very annoyed!
☆、Special episode 39 Leaving home
However, Li Man was more than that annoyed.
Li Hua picked up his books again, but for no other reason. He intends to take the next year's autumn examination.
And Li Shu, Li Man is the one who can't bear it the most. He used to be clingy to her, but after all, he still has a sense of proportion. Often say some strange things, if he is not around, she should take good care of herself and so on.
Li Man is funny sometimes, can he not be by my side? In recent days, he has been clinging to her all day long, almost becoming conjoined twins with her.
Moreover, Li Shu also showed unprecedented enthusiasm for that matter, as if he wanted to finish all the one-offs for the rest of his life, which made Li Man often exhausted and complaining repeatedly.
What's the matter
Li Man keenly felt that something was going to happen at home, it was really going to happen.
And this feeling really happened on a certain early winter morning.
The person who was tossed by Li Shu the night before didn't sleep at all. It was almost dawn before he squinted for a while, but he didn't want to. Li Shu is so energetic that people can't speak. She, nagging in her ear endlessly.
She was too sleepy and tired, and felt that the muffled words in her ears were getting farther and farther away until she couldn't hear them.
When it was almost noon, she got up, and her family asked about Li Shu. She was also curious, thinking that this guy had gone to the field, but it was impossible to imagine that he would not come back during lunch time.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that they hadn't seen him for breakfast. After a while, half a day passed, and there was still no sign of Li Shu.
It was only then that Li Man had a faint bad feeling. She couldn't tell, but she always felt flustered and her eyelids twitched.
Sure enough, it was getting dark, and when it was time to have dinner, Li Shu was not there. Li Mo searched all over the village, but couldn't find him. They all said that they didn't see Li Shu.
Where did this man go? Today, it was as if he disappeared for no reason. Li Man was anxious and angry. She didn't eat dinner. She went back to her room alone and sat sulking. She just wanted to wait for him to come back. She must talk about him. In the evening, I couldn't bear to say a few words to him, and got annoyed? runaway
The four words "run away from home" flashed in my mind, and Li Man was shocked. Thinking of Li Shu's performance in recent days, and asking her to take good care of herself, this is really possible.
However, it was definitely not because he was angry with her that he ran away from home, but because he had planned to leave home for a long time.
Li Man's heart suffocated suddenly, almost out of breath. After taking two deep breaths, she quickly got up and wanted to go downstairs to tell them, but she didn't want to. With just a glance from the corner of her eyes, she saw a letter on the big table.
It was well folded and pressed under her hairpin.
She hurriedly picked it up, unfolded it, and felt dizzy for a while.
Speaking of it, this is not a letter in the true sense, because there is not even half a word on it, only a few small figures are drawn, and the drawing method is very clumsy. If you don't identify it carefully, who will know that it is a person.
But it was these oddly shaped villains that made Li Man understand the meaning expressed in it, and quickly took it and ran downstairs.
"Man'er, Li Shu hasn't come back yet." In the kitchen, Li Xiangyu sat alone on the stool, rocking the small crib to coax the child, and said annoyedly, "I don't know what's going on with this third child recently? It's strange. It's weird, I just don't see anyone for a whole day today, I don't know where I went, and I don't even go home, it's really not worrying."
Li Man didn't have the time to listen to these, so she just asked, "Where are the elder brothers?"
"No, I didn't find it in our village, so I went to another village to look for it. Maybe I went to a house, got drunk with someone, and forgot to come back." Li Xiangyu guessed like this.
But Li Man doesn't think so. Li Shu loves to drink, but the wine is good. Moreover, he never eats at other people's homes. He is just greedy, so he just drinks a few more glasses at home.
What's more, even if he went to someone's house for a drink, he never disappeared for a day, and even left her such a worrying letter.
"Do you know which village you went to?" Li Man was a little anxious.
Li Xiangyu saw what was in her hand and asked, "What did you have?"
"Letter, Li Shu left it." After speaking, Li Man ran out eagerly, and Li Xiangyu hurriedly followed behind and shouted, "It's getting dark today, don't run around, they will be back in a while."
"En." It was dark outside, and she didn't dare to run around, but she was even more anxious inside the house, so she simply went to the gate of the courtyard and stood there waiting.
Fortunately, after a while, Li Hua came back first, saw Li Man waiting anxiously at the door, and trotted to her side.
"Man'er, third brother hasn't come back yet?"
"Li Hua, I feel that something is going to happen." When Li Man saw her man, her anxiety and worry broke out at the same time, and her eyes turned red. She handed him the letter and said, "Li Shu seems to have run away from home." .”
"Run away from home?" Li Hua was very surprised, and hurried back to the house with her.
"Are you back? Where's your elder brother and second brother?" Li Xiangyu couldn't help asking.
Li Hua didn't have time to answer her, so he just opened the letter, and when he saw the content inside, his brows twitched, his expression was gloomy and terrifying.
"Li Hua, has Li Shu left?" Although this was almost an affirmative answer, how much Li Man hoped to hear words of denial from him.
Li Hua didn't answer, at this time, Li Mo and Li Yan also came back one after another, asked questions, but Li Shu hadn't come back yet, so they couldn't help feeling anxious and angry.
Li Mo turned around and went out again, Li Hua called him to stop,
tang "Brother."
"I'll look for it again." Li Mo dropped a sentence, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
"Brother." Li Hua hurriedly chased out and grabbed Li Mo, "Third Brother, he's gone."
"Gone?" Li Mo didn't understand what it meant, "Where did he go?"
"You come back first." Li Hua dragged him into the room, and then showed him the letter.
Li Mo only saw the messy drawing on the paper, "What is this?"
"Third Brother left it behind." Li Hua said angrily.
Li Yan took the letter, looked carefully, and changed his face, "Is this kid going to join the army?"
"Join the army?" Li Mo was shocked.
Li Man was also stunned, "Why join the army?"
"He's going to the military camp." Li Hua explained.
"Ah?" Li Man was surprised, "Did you go to the military camp if you wanted?"
As a modern person, she doesn't understand this ancient method of governing the army at all, but if the common people want to join the army, there must be a need for conscription from above, right? But in the past two years, I have never heard of any conscription.
"How do you know that he's going to the military camp? What the hell is drawing here?" Li Xiangyu also stared at the incomprehensible painting in astonishment.
Li Hua explained, "The third brother is illiterate, so he told us in the way of drawing that he is gone. Here, there are a total of six villains and two children in one frame. Take care, this villain is carrying a big knife, and there are people under the knife. This means that he is going to join the army and go to battle to kill the enemy."
Originally, Li Man only saw that the villain was going to leave home, but she didn't want to. Li Hua's explanation, but the content is still so rich
"Where do you go to kill the enemy? Have you fought a war?" I have to say that Shennvgou is too backward. It seems that everything in the outside world has nothing to do with this place. Apart from poverty, there is also a little advantage, that is, you can't fight here. , probably no one cares about this barren land.
"No, I have to get him back immediately." Li Mo's scalp tingled immediately when he heard that he was going into battle to kill the enemy. Since then, how many of the soldiers who killed the enemy can come back intact
Li Yan hurriedly followed, "Brother, I'll go with you."
"Wait a minute." Li Man called to the two of them, "Do you know which military camp he is going to?"
Li Mo's face darkened, they really didn't know very well.
"If we don't know, the third brother may not know." Li Hua suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, the blind and lame people in the neighboring village may know."
Li Yan thought, "Yes, he was conscripted and fought in the army. Later, he lost one eye and broke a leg, and was sent back. Li Shu used to like to come to him and listen to his lectures. Let’s ask him about the stories in the barracks, maybe we know something.”
"Well, let's go." Li Mo nodded, and then told Li Hua, "You take care of it at home. We will go to the blind and lame first. If we get clues, we may not come back at night. Lock the door and rest first. "
"Brother, wait a minute." Li Man hurriedly turned around and ran upstairs. She didn't look at the money in the small box, grabbed a lot, wrapped it in a small cloth bag, and hurried downstairs.
"Here, bring some silver."
Li Mo took the cloth bag, stuffed it into his arms, stared at Li Man closely, and said, "At home, don't worry."
"Yeah." Li Man nodded with red eyes, but don't worry about how it is possible, this Li Shu is not going to go elsewhere, but to join the army.
Joining the army in ancient times, going to battle, was all fighting with hard weapons. Thinking of that scene, Li Man's heart trembled.
Quickly urged Li Mo and Li Yan, "Okay, you guys go quickly."
But as soon as they left, Li Man yelled again, "Whether Li Shu can be found or not, you have to take care. You must go home within ten days."
Li Mo and Li Yan were a little hesitant. This kind of looking for someone is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Ten days? This is not at all certain.
But Li Hua also said, "Yes, big brother and second brother, no matter what, you must go home in ten days."
☆、Special episode 40 self-blame
This is bound to be a sleepless night.
After Li Mo and Li Yan left, Li Man carried the children upstairs and gently coaxed them to sleep, as if nothing had happened.
But when the children really fell asleep, she was staring at the roof, in a daze, her heart throbbing in pain.
"Man'er." With great difficulty to stabilize the aunt's mood, Li Hua came upstairs and called Li Man a few times, but she didn't seem to hear her, and felt uncomfortable again.
He took off his clothes silently, got into bed and took off his clothes.
Li Man was startled, and turned to look at him, her eyes were red, her voice was light and choked with sobs.
"Li Hua, will your third brother hide on purpose so that we won't find him? Qing"
"No, Man'er." Li Hua took her into his arms distressedly, and gently comforted her, "Brother and Brother have already gone to look for her, maybe they will be back tomorrow."
"Oh." Having said that, Li Man was still flustered, she had a very bad intuition.
Thinking of Li Shu's abnormality these days, and she was only concerned about being bored, she never thought that this would make her feel like a needle prick in her heart.
"Li Shu was very abnormal a few days ago. He often told me that he wanted me to take good care of myself and my children. I knew it was wrong, but I never paid attention to it. I never thought that he would leave home."
For a long time, besides Li Yan, Li Shu was the one who stuck to her the most. She never thought that in this life, he would still leave her.
In the dim light, Li Man looked at him with red eyes, helpless and innocent.
Hearing the deep guilt in her voice, Li Hua felt distressed, "Man'er, this is none of your business."
"No, it's my fault. I've been neglecting him all this time. He's been so obvious, but I didn't pay attention." As she spoke, Li Man's voice choked up, and tears glistened in her eyes. Thinking of Li Shu's events, tears finally fell from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
"Why am I so confused? If I, even if I said something more to keep him, he shouldn't have left. "
"Li Shu, he is a simple and enthusiastic person. What if he is deceived outside? He is so impulsive, will he be bullied?"
"Li Hua, I'm worried that something will happen to him."
Finally, Li Man couldn't hold back, and threw herself into Li Hua's arms and began to cry.
"Man'er." Li Hua hugged her tightly, feeling disturbed, the third brother's departure was too sudden, but it seemed inevitable.
"Third brother, he has had a dream of being a hero since he was a child. Maybe he just went there to realize his dream."
"A hero's dream?" Li Man was startled, and seemed to think that Li Shufan loved to listen to some stories about heroes, and his greatest ideal seemed to be to be a general, to be able to fight enemies, to defend his family and the country, and to scatter his blood as much as he wanted.
But even so, can he abandon her, the children who are less than half a year old, his brothers, and this family that is finally a little richer
"I don't care." Li Man's voice was hoarse, with a slightly crying tone, and she said harshly, "When he comes back, I will ignore him again."
"Okay, wait for him to come back and ignore him." Li Hua coaxed softly, but her heart was also up and down.
The third brother is not as calm as the eldest brother, nor is he as smooth as the second brother. He is impulsive but the most persistent. He doesn't make decisions lightly. make a decision.
However, Li Hua knew that the more he was like this, he would not make decisions lightly, but once he made a decision, nine bulls couldn't pull him back.
This departure must have been thoroughly prepared and determined.
I hope that the eldest brother and the second brother will be lucky and find him before he goes far.
otherwise... ...
Li Hua already had the worst plan in mind.
And this worst plan was completely fulfilled five days later.
There were two people who went out to look for them, but now Li Mo was the only one who came back. It was probably because of the wind and night during this trip. When he came back, Li Mo was bearded and described as very tired.
"Brother, where's the second brother?" Li Hua asked in shock.
Li Man had already guessed the result without seeing Li Shu, but at this moment even Li Yan was gone, she didn't know how to describe her feelings anymore, she just felt like being immersed in an ice cellar, shivering from the cold, she couldn't even speak. Can't ask, only trembling slightly.
Li Mo only heard that they went to the nearest barracks to the Shennvgou, but not only did they not find anyone, they were almost arrested as foreign spies. Fortunately, Li Yan was alert and the two escaped.
But Li Shu was not found, and the two were unwilling to continue searching, fearing that their family members would be anxious.
So, after some discussion, Li Yan continued on the road with some money, while Li Mo went home first.
Hearing this, the family fell into silence.
Li Xiangyu's eyes were red again. These days, she was also extremely anxious. She finally looked forward to Li Mo's return, but when she got such news again, she couldn't help but feel very discouraged. Thinking about it, she cried and cursed.
"What the hell have I done? A good house has to be like this? This careless third child. I will give him a good beating when I come back. It will be Chinese New Year soon, and he ran away without a trace. Now, even the second child doesn't know where to go, so what should we do?"
"Auntie."
As soon as Li Xiangyu cried, Li Man's eyes also filled with mist.
