Lin Fang was startled, glanced at her, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you! People here don't know, but maybe someone on the wharf over there knows whether Uncle Lu got on that boat at that time. Bah, bah, bah, bah , Am I talking nonsense, Uncle Lu must not have boarded that ship, Xiaoshu, don't be sad... "
Seeing him like this, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but burst out laughing, rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't blame you, why are you nervous! I'll draw a few more pictures, and we'll split up and ask people about it." !"
She said with a soft sigh again, and said: "Actually, I'm fine. Alas, it's my mother. I really don't know. If that's the case, what should my mother do if she finds out! Don't look at me Mother is usually very aggressive in everything, but in fact, my father is the one who decides our family, and my mother cannot live without him!"
"Xiaoshu..." Lin Fang felt a slight pain in his heart when he heard her say this. The pain and pity made him really want to hold her in his arms, to cherish and comfort her.
Besides, Lu Xiaoshu left a note and left home quietly. Everyone in the family was in a state of anxiety and had a lot of preoccupations. In addition, she was not one to stay quietly in the house on weekdays, so everyone didn't notice.
When it was dark, Miao Cuilan reluctantly got up from the bed to drink water, and found that Lu Xiaoshu was not at home, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Xiaoshu? Where did she go?"
Although this child is usually the same as the bridleless horse, he is very well-behaved these days, so he shouldn't be in the house.
Miao Cuilan's voice made Tong Yu'er realize, yes, where did Xiaoshu go
After searching, Xiaoxue hurriedly squeezed out a note and came out of the room: "Mother! Little uncle! Little aunt! It's no good, Xiaoshu is gone, she said she went to find her father!"
"What!" Several people were taken aback.
Miao Cuilan hurriedly ordered Xiaoxue to read the contents of the note to herself, and before she finished listening, she paused and said, "This girl, is she trying to piss me off! Why is she so bold! Who gave her the courage? !"
Miao Cuilan was angry and impatient, and couldn't help crying again.
Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er also looked at each other, speechless for a while.
"Mother!" Xiaoxue quickly pulled Miao Cuilan's sleeve and persuaded softly: "Mother, don't worry, the second sister is so smart, she will be fine! Didn't she say that? She went to the city to find brother, Let my brother go with her! Mother, my brother is an adult, and he will definitely protect her!"
Miao Cuilan shed tears and said: "This girl has been very cunning since she was a child, how can she tell the truth? Huh, why did you find her brother? Do you believe this? Anyway, I don't believe it! How could Ah Qi be?" Let her mess around? If she really went to look for Aqi, it's hard to say whether Aqi will go to Qilin Lake by himself, but she will definitely not let her go, and will definitely ask someone to come back to deliver the letter! But look, it's getting dark! "
With those words, Xiaoxue lowered her head sadly.
Miao Cuilan's teeth were itching with hatred, she couldn't help feeling distressed and annoyed, and cried, "This damn girl is really outrageous! If I knew she was so disobedient, why did I save her? If not, now I feel more angry! "While crying, he trained Lu Xiaoshu.
Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er were also anxious and helpless, they were concerned about Lu Xiaoshu, and at the same time they were busy persuading Miao Cuilan, Xiaoxue was also wiping away tears, the whole family was in a mess!
Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er tried hard to persuade Miao Cuilan to stop crying, and said with a sob: "No! I can't wait at home, I have to find their father and daughter! Chuhe, let's go now !"
"Sister!" Miao Chuhe hurriedly persuaded: "If it's dark today, how can we find it? Let's set off at dawn tomorrow, shall we? Sister, you have a good rest tonight!"
"How can I rest!"
"Sister, even if I'm in the town right now, where can I hire a carriage? No coachman is willing to drive out in the middle of the night! Sister, just wait! Don't be in a hurry for this night!" Tong Yu'er Also persuasion.
Xiaoxue also said tearfully: "Mother, father and second sister will be fine, don't do this! Don't do this!" As she said that, she threw herself on her and hugged her, and couldn't help crying again.
Miao Cuilan finally had no choice but to be seduced by her daughter, her heart was sore and painful, she couldn't help but embrace her, mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Seeing that Tong Yu'er was also in tears, she felt pity in her heart.
The whole family was sleepless all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Miao Chuhe and Miao Cuilan went out, and Tong Yuer and Xiaoxue saw each other with tears in their eyes, gloomy and misty.
Lu Xiaoshu, Lin Fang, and Cricket chartered a fast boat, skimmed across the lake lightly and nimbly, and flew towards Yu County on the opposite side of the lake.
At this time, there was no wind or waves, and the morning mist had already dissipated, and the silver light jumped on the entire lake, stretching as far as the eye could see. Under the autumn sun, the lake breeze was blowing, which should make people feel at ease, but at this time, it couldn't blow away Lu Xiaoshu's heavy heart.
She sat on the bow of the boat with her arms around her knees, her little brows slightly frowned, and she stared at the vast lake. In front of nature, human power is always so small, this gentle lake water is enough to engulf any passing boat.
She looked at the water, Lin Fang looked at her, and couldn't help sighing secretly. He had never seen such a pitiful side of her, which made his heart ache. He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't bear to disturb her.
After about two hours, the boat finally approached the pier slowly, Lin let out a sigh of relief, stood up with a smile and said, "Xiaoshu, let's go down!"
"En!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded, and the three of them got off the boat together.
"The pier here is quite lively!" Cricket looked around, and said with a smile: "It's just right, let's inquire at this pier, and we will definitely find out!"
"You're the one who talks too much! Why don't you hurry up?" Lin Fang glared at him angrily.
"Don't talk about him like that!" Lu Xiaoshu took out a scroll, handed one to Cricket, and another to Lin Fang, and said, "Let's split up and ask questions! We will meet here in half an hour."
"Then be careful yourself." Lin Fang didn't dare to insist on being with Lu Xiaoshu, so he had to whisper.
Lu Xiaoshu nodded, forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you!"
"No, no, you, don't say that." Lin Fang was a little at a loss and smiled, seeing Lu Xiaoshu going in another direction, he regained his composure and went to another street.
Holding the portrait in his hand, Lu Xiaoshu walked all the way, whenever he met people or shops, he asked others if he had ever seen the man in the portrait board the big ship that had the accident that day
After hearing the words, everyone knew that this must be another family member of the victim. After asking, they found out that her father was very likely to be on that ship at that time, they couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and they all helped her to see. I was full of hope that I could help her confirm, but they all shook their heads regretfully, saying that they had no impression, or they were not on the pier at all.
Lu Xiaoshu was extremely disappointed, but managed to pull himself together. There is no news, but there is always hope.
After walking the entire street, until there was no one in the deserted place, I still couldn't find any news about Lu Zhong.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help sighing, leaning his small body against the half mud wall at the entrance of the alley, thinking of all the love his father had when he was there, thinking of how warm and loving he was when he was abandoned when he was an infant. In his arms, with a twist of his small mouth, tears welled up involuntarily.
"Little girl, I heard that you are looking for someone?" Lu Xiaoshu was hanging his head sadly when he suddenly heard a voice from the side. Lu Xiaoshu turned his head abruptly and saw a pair of narrow, triangular eyes that were shining with light. Looking at himself, he frowned secretly in his heart.
Seeing her raise her head, this person couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw her beautiful and outstanding appearance and the unconcealable aura between her brows, and the smile on her face became more amiable.
Lu Xiaoshu felt disgusted in his heart, this person looks like a villain, even though he desperately tried to appear honest and honest, but he couldn't hide the vile temperament in his bones!
Just kidding, is it easy to deceive when she is really just a ten-year-old girl
She didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but she just cared about her father and refused to let go of that ten thousandth hope, so she nodded, unfolded the portrait in her hand and said: "This is the man, have you seen it?"
The man's eyes fell on her white and delicate hands, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and secretly thought what a seedling, it's really rare, rare! If she were transferred to another hand, it would be worth at least twenty taels of silver...
I deserve it, Gu Laosi wants to get rich today.
Gu Laosi seemed to see the white money waving to him.
He pretended to lean over to have a look, tilting his head to the left and right, which seemed to be the case.
Lu Xiaoshu clearly knew that there was little hope, but at this moment he couldn't help becoming nervous, and asked, "Have you ever seen it?"
Gu Lao Si didn't answer, and looked at it for a while before exclaiming "ah", and said, "I'm really impressed with this man..."
"Really?" Lu Xiaoshu was half surprised and half puzzled.
"Yes! Yes! It's true!" Gu Laosi said with a smile: "That day, he seemed to have brought a lot of things, and it was inconvenient for him to board the boat, so he didn't board that boat. Oh, it's God's will!"
Lu Xiaoshu didn't know if his words were true or not, but at this moment, the words that sounded full of hope made her feel happy for no reason, and she couldn't help but smile with bright eyes and crooked eyebrows, and said with endless joy: "Then what happened later? Later Where has he been? Why hasn't he come home..."
Seeing that he was blinded, Gu Laosi seemed to be right, the little girl didn't doubt it at all, so she cheered up and continued: "Well, when he was carrying things later, he was accidentally hit by a passing carriage, and he was hurt. Injured and unable to go—”
"Then what about him now? Where is he?" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly asked.
Gu Lao rolled his four eyes proudly, and said with a smile: "So it's a coincidence. When I went out that day, I happened to see someone basking in the sun under the big locust tree in Old Man Huai's house. It is exactly the same as the person in your portrait! Now, he should be recuperating at old man Huai's house, which happens to be in our village!"
