"Go, go, don't make trouble for me! You're bothering me!" Miao Cuilan said to her and Xiaoxue angrily, "You two take care of Jin'er, take Jin'er outside to play! I'm afraid your little uncle will be a little girl tonight." My aunt can't even come back, and Jin'er doesn't know if she will cry at night!"
"Mother, please forgive us! If Jin'er cries and finds little aunt, there is nothing we can do!" Lu Xiaoshu still said: "At this time, it is not convenient for you and father to go to Tong's house, but I can go, I will ask , I’ll come back and tell you if anything happens! I’ll save you from worrying!”
Where is Miao Cuilan? Seeing her mother and daughter arguing, Lu Zhong said, "It's getting late today, and it's too late! We'd better wait till dawn tomorrow! If it doesn't work, I'll go with you tomorrow. Ask around, if the Tong family still holds grudges, let's not go in!"
Miao Cuilan felt helpless when she heard the words, and she had to give up with a sigh.
That night, the whole family rested restlessly.
Jin'er has never been separated from her mother, not to mention the night, before night, she starts to look for her mother with her mouth flattened, crying or not. Xiaoxue hurriedly carried him out to play again, and managed to divert his attention leave.
But when it gets dark, it's all over. The family took turns to fight, exhausted, and tried everything, but still couldn't deal with this little doll. In the end, he fell asleep when he was tired from crying, with tears still on his face.
Miao Cuilan carefully put him on the bed, wiped his face, and said involuntarily, "This kid is really good! I think back in our Xiaoshu, we would giggle when we saw people, and we never cried much!"
Lu Xiaoshu just came in with hot water, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard this, thinking, Mother, I am different from him! The core is different!
The next morning, Miao Cuilan couldn't wait for breakfast, so she got something to eat, told Mrs. Xu to do the housework, and hurried to Tong's house with Lu Zhong to inquire about news.
Lu Xiaoshu was curious, so he secretly followed along.
When Tong's family heard that their couple had come, they were not in any trouble. Mrs. Tong hurriedly asked someone to come in. But when they arrived, Miao Chuhe had already gone out to attend the appointment. When Miao Cuilan heard this, her face immediately turned as white as snow, and she was in a daze for a while, unable to recover.
Her body softened and she almost lost the strength to stand up, her eyes were also straightened, her trembling lips were speechless for a while!
Master Tong didn't come out in the study, Mrs. Tong felt very embarrassed when she saw this, her face was a little embarrassing, Tong Yu'er felt even more guilty, she knew how important Miao Chuhe was to his sister, but now he Take risks for your own business...
"Sister—I..." Tong Yu'er blushed, but she didn't know what to say in the middle of the sentence!
Facing her husband last night, she had been guilty and crying all night, but now facing her husband's sister, she felt even more ashamed!
"Okay, Yu'er," Miao Cuilan was taken aback, and her heart was on fire, but she was a genuine person, and she reluctantly smiled at Tong Yu'er: "Chuhe, he will be fine! Hehe, marry me If you give it to him, he is the son-in-law of the Tong family. Of course, he can't stay out of the affairs of the Tong family... "
"Sister!" Tong Yu'er choked up, looking at Miao Cuilan, she couldn't say anything.
"Yes, yes! Uncle will come back safely, definitely will!" Mrs. Tong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help scolding Master Tong again in her heart.
It was true that the daughter was wrong before, but the facts proved that the daughter's vision was correct. It has been so many years since she picked such a good family, so what's the point of him insisting on twisting it
Miao Cuilan didn't want to talk too much, and naturally she was even more unwilling to leave at this time. They all waited anxiously, waiting for the time to pass bit by bit, hoping that Miao Chuhe and Tong Yi would come back safely.
Besides, Lu Xiaoshu fell behind Miao Cuilan and Lu Zhong, so he simply took another path, and when he looked up accidentally, he happened to see his little uncle on another path not far ahead.
Lu Xiaoshu subconsciously turned to hide, his heart moved slightly, after thinking for a while, he followed Miao Chuhe.
In fact, she thought of this possibility last night, thinking that today she must go to Tong's house to find out what happened - that's her real uncle!
The Tong family is Tong Yi's only seedling, and the kidnappers will definitely give a warning not to report to the police, it's no wonder Master Tong and his wife dare to speak up! In this way, there must be a reliable person to deliver the ransom, maybe this work will be spread on the head of my little uncle, I don't want to really meet him here!
With a stack of bank notes in his arms, Miao Chuhe hurried to the agreed place, not paying attention to what was behind him at all, and with Lu Xiaoshu's agility, it was impossible for him to find out.
Lu Xiaoshu followed closely at the beginning, but as she walked more and more desolate and secluded, she gradually distanced herself from Miao Chuhe.
In her previous life, she had been in a daze at any rate, and knew that all kidnappers are more vigilant in their actions, and they will definitely send someone to lurk to monitor them not far from the agreed place. make plans.
Therefore, she just needs to ensure that she can know the direction of her little uncle.
Near noon, Miao Chuhe came to this windy and smoked slope with cluttered rocks and no bird shadows. According to the letter, he walked towards the old maple tree towering into the sky on the southeast mountainside.
The clouds are light and the sky is high, and there is almost no sound around, only the wind occasionally blows the branches and leaves rustling, and stirs up the silver-gray other side of the leaves of trees and grass.
Miao Chuhe gasped for breath, squeezed the sweat tightly in his hands, looked up at the old maple tree, and his heart was beating with nervousness.
The agreed place was under the old maple tree, and he didn't know what kind of scene he would see later, let alone what would happen next!
Gradually getting closer, he didn't know whether it was tired or nervous, he felt his heart beating like a drum, and he almost had no time to breathe.
But at this moment, apart from the sound of my own breathing, there was still no sound in the surroundings, and I looked carefully at the big maple tree, and there was not a single figure or sound. Miao Chuhe became more and more uneasy.
When he managed to climb up the mountainside, all the old maple trees were revealed in his eyes, and Miao Chuhe was instantly dumbfounded!
There is nothing under this old maple tree! No, when I got closer, I realized that there was a letter pressed by a stone on the root of the big tree.
He sighed and smiled wryly, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved, he hurried forward to take the letter. In the letter, another address was written crookedly, and it was specified in detail how to get there.
Miao Chuhe was furious all of a sudden, but he had no choice but to fold the letter into his bosom, rested for a while, and started on his way again.
Lu Xiaoshu didn't think much of it, it's a cunning rabbit, how can a person who does such a thing not be cunning? Originally, she didn't expect anyone to really be waiting under the big maple tree! keep on following!
Crossing mountains and ridges, crossing forests and valleys, after walking for about an hour, Miaochu River climbed up this mountain called Yangjiaoao, and saw three stones arranged in a triangle in the open space ahead, so he stood there and waited. .
Just when he was a little impatient waiting, he raised his eyes and finally saw a strong man with his face covered and only a pair of eyes showing in front of him.
Those eyes were bright and cold, repulsive like a falcon, Miao Chuhe was shocked by his sudden appearance, stared at that person with his lips pursed, and did not speak.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment, the man's eyes darkened slightly, and he seemed unhappy and said: "You are not the master of the Tong family, who are you?"
"The old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he can't walk on the mountain road. I am the uncle of Tong's family, and it's the same when I come. Where's my little brother?" Miao Chuhe asked.
The man looked him up and down, and saw that he was thin and thin, dressed in a gentle blue shirt, with sweat on his head and face, and panting, it could be seen that he was very tired, and his physical strength was not very good. In short, he was definitely not a man. The one who was difficult to deal with, smiled with a "chi" and did not entangle with him on this issue, and asked in a low voice: "Where's the bank note?"
"I've brought enough, I want to meet someone." Miao Chuhe was still uneasy before, but when he saw someone, he calmed down.
The man snorted and said, "Don't worry! We keep what we say, as long as you bring enough money and don't do anything else, you will let him go!" After saying that, he said, "Follow me!" lead the way.
Miao Chuhe had no choice but to follow.
I walked for a while with seven bends and eight turns, turned a corner along the mountain peak, and passed through a place where there seemed to be no road in front of me and was full of weeds and shrubs as tall as a person. Behind a small piece of flat ground, there was a steep cliff, and a black cave entrance was exposed on the cliff. At the entrance of the cave, there were two people dressed like the man who led the way.
Miao Chuhe was slightly startled, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to press the bank note in his arms.
"Where's Yi'er? Where is it?" Miao Chuhe asked vigilantly.
"Who are you?" A person at the entrance of the cave asked in a muffled voice.
"I'm his brother-in-law." Miao Chuhe said.
So, the man at the entrance of the cave winked at the person standing on the other side, and that person turned around and walked into the cave. After a while, Miao Chuhe heard a child screaming "Ah!" It was full of pain, followed by his crying voice: "Brother-in-law, save me! Brother-in-law, save me!"
There was an indistinct murmur after that, as if his mouth was gagged again. Most likely, the person who entered the cave temporarily took out the cloth ball in his mouth and taught him to call the two calls of brother-in-law.
"Yi'er!" Miao Chuhe called out loudly, feeling anxious.
The man at the entrance of the cave snorted coldly at him, "Now do you know where he is? Where's the bank note? Hand over the bank note, and you just go in and take him away."
Miao Chuhe hesitated a little, he was not at ease when he saw Tong Yi standing in front of him safe and sound.
