Zhou Si smiled, walked into the yard and sighed softly, "Xiao Shu, I apologize to you for what happened that day, but you should know that I didn't intend to harm you, I did it for your own good—"
"I've done a lot, so why are there so many nonsense!" Lu Xiaoshu said angrily, "I don't accept your apology, don't mention that matter again, if you have anything else to say, go on and talk about other things!"
Zhou Si stopped her immediately, shook her head helplessly, and said, "You can't change your temperament? You are so impulsive, don't think about yourself, think about your parents too!"
Lu Xiaoshu rolled his eyes, thinking that what I do is really consider my parents in the long run, what do you know? Besides, is this girl the kind of person who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and doesn't care about her own safety? Since I decided to go, I naturally have my confidence and reason, hmph, I want you to mind your own business...
Now it's all over, my mother's scolding made me almost ashamed! If it wasn't for my little aunt and my brother and sister to help me intercede, I don't know what my mother would do to me!
"Are you finished?" Lu Xiaoshu naturally wouldn't tell Zhou Si what was on his mind, so he said angrily.
Zhou Si opened his mouth, feeling quite helpless, he glanced at her quietly and said: "I don't care about you, in the future you will naturally understand my kindness." He said faintly: "By the way, we will leave Maple Leaf Village the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't come back again in the future!"
Lu Xiaoshu's body was slightly stiff, and he raised his head to look at him unconsciously, with surprise and reluctance subconsciously flashing across his eyes.
After all, they have been neighbors for so long, and they also had a secret that no one else knew about. Although Lu Xiaoshu was annoyed and thought about it, he still felt a little heavy in his heart when he heard the news.
Although the expression in her eyes changed very quickly, it still clearly fell into Zhou Si's eyes. Zhou Si couldn't help but feel excited for a moment, and his whole body seemed to have a feeling of enlightenment, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously hooked slightly.
"Are you leaving?" Lu Xiaoshu finally said, "Bon voyage! Your family is very secretive, and I knew you would not stay here for long." With that kind of kung fu, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Thank you!" Zhou Si smiled, not knowing whether to comfort himself or to "comfort" her, blurted out: "I will definitely come back to see you if I have the opportunity in the future!"
I just don’t know if you will have even given birth to a doll by that time…
Zhou Si smiled again, trying hard not to think about the possibility of disappointing.
"Hehe!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled, and said, "I think you will be very busy. If you have nothing to do, you'd better not come!" Maple Leaf Village! Lu Xiaoshu thought so.
"Oh!" Zhou Si felt a little disappointed, but it was inconvenient to say anything. After being depressed for a moment, he took out a suet jade pendant tied with a red string from his bosom, spread it in his palm and handed it to Lu Xiaoshu, saying: " This is for you, just keep it in your mind!"
Lu Xiaoshu glanced over, the jade pendant was oval and the size of an egg, and it was openworked and hollowed out with the pattern of embroidered grass in the mouth of a luan sparrow. It is worth a lot.
"This is not good!" Lu Xiaoshu said, "How can I accept such a valuable thing from you!"
In the past and present, Lu Xiaoshu had never seen such a precious jade pendant. It would be fake if he said he was not tempted.
"Put it away!" Zhou Si smiled and said, "I'm leaving now, let's just get to know each other for a while!"
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Si smiled and did not answer, but gently stuffed the jade pendant into her hand, and said: "Xiaoshu, take care. Don't be so impulsive in doing things in the future. You are a girl, and you will suffer a loss sooner or later. It's not bad for now." That's right, if you do this again after you get married, how can your in-laws like it? If this—"
"You are really more verbose than my mother! My mother never said these things to me!" Lu Xiaoshu subconsciously repelled, staring at him displeased.
get married? joke! Is she the kind of person who will marry into someone else's family, serve her parents-in-law and husband-in-law every day, set rules in front of her mother-in-law like a grandson every day, and then have to curry favor with her sister-in-law to prevent her from suing her
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it!" Zhou Si still made her unhappy when he didn't want to say goodbye to her, so he smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving."
"Oh..." Lu Xiaoshu responded, and the jade pendant in her hand was automatically ignored by her. Pay it back, or not pay it back, what a contradiction!
"You, don't you have anything to say to me?" Zhou Si asked a little bit unwillingly, wanting to move and stop. A pair of dark eyes sparkled, slightly nervous in anticipation.
Lu Xiaoshu turned his head to think for a while, and said, "Have a good trip! Also, for the sake of your leaving, I won't bother with you about the previous matter!"
Zhou Si laughed loudly, nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'm leaving!"
"Let's go!"
Zhou Si smiled involuntarily, fixed her eyes deeply, turned around and strode away.
After turning around, my heart seemed to stop beating in an instant, and there was a moment of blankness and bewilderment. What is he looking forward to? Why expect it? Really! Could it be that if she cried and begged him to stay, would he stay? No, impossible! That being the case, what is he still looking forward to
He is far behind her, not as free and easy and generous as her...
The three uncles and nephews Zhou Si came without a sound, and they left without a sound. There was not even a ripple in Maple Leaf Village.
They were originally foreigners, and they lived here for a short time and they did not communicate with the villagers on weekdays. Who would pay attention to them
Only Lu Xiaoshu ran to those two thatched huts for some reason after they left. It was silent, quiet and desolate, and the bright sunlight outside could not penetrate the silence inside the room. It was as if no one had ever lived there.
Lu Xiaoshu raised his head to look at the brand-new log beams and pillars, remembering that day when he and Zhou Si fell in the forest, thinking of the dark-faced Uncle Zhou who looked at her for some reason, and thinking of Uncle Zhou who hardly showed his face, he felt secretly sad for no reason.
Another letter from Lu Zhong came, and there are still three or four days to go, and the group of them should be back. Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er's sadness, which had calmed down a little, was stirred up again by this stimulation, and they cried a few more times.
In less than a month, Tong Yu'er was so thin that her cheeks were deeply sunken, her cheekbones protruded, her face was pale, and she looked haggard as if she was ten years older. Miao Cuilan was not much better than her. It seems to have turned gray.
However, no one expected it. On this day, Xiaoxue went home to feed the chickens and ducks and cleaned up the house by the way, and then returned to Miaojia Village, but she disappeared!
When night fell and it was time to eat dinner, Lu Xiaoshu exclaimed, "Where's sister?" Miao Cuilan and Tong Yuer suddenly came to their senses, and then looked at each other, their expressions changed drastically.
It was only then that the two of them remembered, shouldn't Xiaoxue come here in the afternoon
If Lu Xiaoshu didn't see anyone for a while, they wouldn't be so panicked. Xiaoxue has always been well-behaved and sensible, and she would never run off halfway to do other things.
Lu Qi was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Mother, little aunt, don't worry, I'll go home and have a look! Maybe Xiaoxue is still at home and hasn't come over yet!"
"Brother, I'll go too!" Lu Xiaoshu became anxious immediately.
"Okay, okay! Go and have a look! Let's also ask here to see if anyone has seen her!" Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er were almost stumped by this stimulation.
Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Qi hurried to Maple Leaf Village with torches and entered their own yard. They saw that everything in the house was in order, the yard was clean, the chickens and ducks had already entered their nests, and the big yellow dog who had been sleeping under the tree saw They whined and wagged their tails and came over to rub against each other, causing Lu Xiaoshu to kick away lightly.
The two brothers and sisters felt cold in their hearts. They searched around the house and called a few times, but they never heard Xiaoxue's answer. The two were in a hurry, so they went to the village to inquire one by one.
In fact, there is no need to inquire at all. When Lu Xiaoshu went to ask Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu was surprised: "Didn't Xiaoxue go to Miaojia Village? No, we even said hello when she went out in the afternoon! Well, it should be almost It's half past time, so I should have arrived at Miaojia Village long ago!"
"Did my sister say she was going to Miao Village?" Lu Xiaoshu asked.
"Yes! That's what she said." Xiaoyu nodded without thinking, and then worried: "Could it be that she twisted her foot and fell on the road?"
Lu Xiaoshu shook his head and walked away in a daze.
She walked all the way with her brother, and she didn't even see her shadow! The road from Maple Leaf Village to Miaojia Village is an ordinary mountain road, and there are no steep or steep roads, so nothing will happen to her, unless she runs into a bad guy—
Lu Xiaoshu shook his head, and quickly comforted himself, maybe, maybe she really twisted her foot? Afterwards, someone helped me back to take the medicine, and I didn't have time to inform my family... maybe that's the case!
The two brothers and sisters could not wait to turn over the surroundings. Miao Cuilan came back with three or four aunts and uncles, and immediately asked, "Where is Xiaoxue? Did you find it?"
Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Qi were speechless for a while.
Miao Cuilan groaned, closed her eyes and immediately passed out, causing everyone to shout and shout in a panic...
The disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Lu family quickly spread in Maple Leaf Village like a gust of wind. Everyone sighed when they heard about it, saying that the Lu family has always been doing well recently, what happened recently!
Sigh to sigh, after all, it is a matter of life and death. None of the people stood by and watched, and they all helped to search around and searched around the road from Maple Leaf Village to Miaojia Village! Whenever I meet people, I ask if I have seen a girl who is tall, short, fat, and thin in that kind of clothes
After such a busy night, everyone was exhausted, but there was still no news of Xiaoxue. A person so big as Xiaoxue disappeared as silently as air!
