"What's wrong? You walked in such a hurry, oh, why is Tuan Tuan crying!" Li Changfeng was washing his hands by the well when he saw Xu Qing walking in quickly with the crying Tuan Tuan in his arms.
Xu Qing let Li Changfeng take over the group and coax, "When I came back from picking up the group, I saw a sneaky figure at the fork in the road. As soon as I made a sound, he hurriedly ran away and disappeared, and I was holding the group again. Chase, that figure looks familiar to me, but I can't remember who it is."
Li Changfeng gently patted the crying snort, and after hearing Xu Qing's words, he thought for a while, "I guess which man is peeking at my brother, don't think about it, the meal is ready, let's eat first. Bar."
Xu Qing nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he had to be more careful.
In the next few days, Xu Qing always took the group to the ground, and didn't send the group to Xie Amo's house. He had heard of some traffickers abducting and selling children before. Although this is ancient times, it is better to pay attention.
Sure enough, Xu Qing's hunch was right. Five days after Xu Qing looked at the figure, Xia Amei from Lizheng's family came to the house, looking very haggard. Looking at Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, he spoke hesitantly. For a long time, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng did not understand his purpose.
"Xia Amo, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We don't know what you want to inquire about like this?" Xu Qing couldn't stand Xia Amo's delay, so he asked straightforwardly.
When Xia Amo heard Xu Qing's words, he felt extremely uncomfortable and anxious. He wanted to say it quickly, but this matter was related to his brother's reputation!
"Yeah, Xia Ah, if you have anything, just say it, we can do it, and we will help you naturally." Li Changfeng was also a little disgusted, although he said that the relationship with the neighbors has improved a lot after the family opened a grocery store. , but Li Zheng's family still maintains a light relationship with his own family, and Li Changfeng can't figure out why Xia Amo came here suddenly.
"I won't betray you anymore, I just wanted to ask..." What Xia Amei said just now, she stopped again, seeing Xu Qing and Li Changfeng's helpless expressions, he had to ask shamelessly, "You guys Have you seen or met my Xia Yu?"
After speaking, he looked at Xu Qing and Li Changfeng expectantly.
Xu Qing and Li Changfeng looked at each other and both shook their heads. Xu Qing really never met Xia Yu, and Li Changfeng, he couldn't remember what Xia Yu looked like, and he didn't know what he looked like last time. The crying brother I met at the fork in the road was actually Xia Yu.
Seeing that Xu Qing and Li Changfeng both shook their heads, Xia Amo's last hope in his heart was also gone. Xia Yu had not been at home for two days. Two days ago, Xia Amo noticed that Xia Yu was vaguely on his mind and asked about it. After a while, Xia Yu was very excited and said nothing, but after that day, Xia Yu never returned home.
The Lizheng family asked around privately, but they didn't find any trace of Xia Yu. No one in the village knew about it. Xia Amo thought of Xu Qing's family in Houshan, so they hurried over. How did they know that they got another one? The disappointment and anxiety in her heart made Xia Amo cry.
How could a good brother in his family disappear!
"Xia Amo, don't get excited, what exactly is going on, can you tell me?" Li Changfeng didn't understand Xia Amo's consideration at all, so he asked directly.
Xu Qing took out the handkerchief and handed it to Xia Ame. Hearing Li Changfeng's words, he tugged at his sleeve with his hand, turned his head and said to Xia Ama with an impressive face, "Xia Ame, no matter what, if If we can't solve it in the common people's family, we can only go to the government to take a look. If it is delayed for too long, it may not be a good thing for anyone, what do you think?"
"Government?"
When Xia Amei heard Xu Qing's words, there was a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Qing and Li Changfeng and walked to the village, but not long after she was discharged from the hospital, Xia Amei stopped again.
If this official finds his brother, and his brother leaves with other men, wouldn't his brother's reputation be lost? , No, you have to wait, if this is the case, my brother will definitely go home, yes, wait.
In the yard, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng were silently facing each other. Thinking of what Li Changfeng said to Xia Ama, Xu Qing felt that this person was really lacking at times.
Under Xu Qing's gaze, Li Changfeng felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, but he also felt that he did not say anything wrong.
"You shouldn't have been asking what happened to Xia Amo just now, he said it all, it's about Xia Yu's news, it means that Xia Yu might not be at home, and Xia Yu is an unmarried brother again. If it's clear that it's gone, won't it affect his reputation?" Xu Qing has been here for so long, and he naturally knows that the Lizheng family has an excellent face.
"So that's the case, I said he looked like he wanted to talk but was too embarrassed to talk about it." Li Changfeng said thoughtfully, "However, since you said just now that if you can't find someone when you're gone, go look for them. With the help of the government, it should be fine."
Xu Qing naturally thought so too, but they never imagined that in order not to expose his innermost thoughts, Xia Amei just waited at home, believing that Xia Yu would return home, but it has been almost five days. , Xia Yu still had no trace, so the Lizheng family was completely panicked, and they didn't care about what to lose face, they rushed to the town overnight and reported to the official.
Xu Qing was somewhat incomprehensible when he heard that Li Zheng's family had just reported to the government. However, Xia Yu's disappearance reminded Xu Qing of the figure he saw at the crossroads that day. He always felt that this matter could not be separated from that person. open.
After the Lizheng family reported to the official, the official went to the village to find out the situation. It was normal for the owner to walk around and the west family to visit. However, one official refused to leave the Xie family, saying that he wanted to bring Uncle Xie back for interrogation. .
There was a lot of trouble, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng hurried over after hearing it.
"I think you're guilty of being a thief! I just want to take you back for interrogation, what's wrong with that? If you're not guilty of being a thief, then you should go with me!"
The speaker was a sharp-mouthed monkey with a thin face and a man in official clothes.
"Zhu Ping! Don't spit your blood, you don't want to take revenge with me for the sake of Ma Fugui'er! Haven't you seen the old man? I don't know how careful you are!" Uncle Xie was so angry that he roared loudly. The voice was arguing with the official named Zhu Ping.
"That's right! Our family is not easy to bully!" Xie Amo was not to be outdone.
"What's wrong?" Li Changfeng's tall body stood beside Xie Ame and Xie Ashu, so he looked like he wanted to protect the Xie family.
Zhu Ping saw Li Changfeng's tall body, and looked at his thin body in contrast. Although he felt a little hairy in his heart, when he saw the burlap and linen on Li Changfeng's body, he felt that this was just a muddy leg, and his heart was relieved. Some.
"Who are you? Didn't you see the official, I was running an errand?" After speaking, he pretended to straighten his chest, and flashed the official's badge on his chest forward, and the expression on his face seemed to feel that Li Changfeng After seeing it, he would bow his head and beg for mercy, and he was extremely proud.
Li Changfeng smiled disdainfully, "Master?? I have never seen such an official who oppressed the people!"
"You!" Zhu Ping didn't expect Li Changfeng to give him such disrespect. When he was about to extend his hand to teach Li Changfeng a good lesson, the corner of his eyes happened to catch Li Changfeng's clenched fist, and he secretly swallowed.
"I don't care about you!" Then he turned to look at Uncle Xie again, "You still have to walk with me honestly, or else you will have to suffer!"
Xu Qing didn't listen any more, and walked to Zhu Ping, "Why do you say Uncle Xie is suspected? Or, whoever you say is suspected, who is suspected?" After saying that, Xu Qing looked at the onlookers. folks.
"If you do things like this, do you think that whoever is not pleasing to the eye in our Xingfu Village is suspicious!" As soon as Xu Qing said this, the villagers began to riot, and they originally thought that this official was inappropriate. Reliable, Uncle Xie and his family have all been from the Happy Village for generations. They have never done anything to commit rape and crime, and they are straightforward and generous, and they are also friendly with the villagers.
"Yes, yes, how can you talk nonsense without evidence!" The Wu family just rushed over and said immediately.
"That's not it! Hey, you haven't heard of it. I heard it just now. The Xie family said that this official is going to avenge a private revenge!" The Sun family also came to join in the fun.
"So that's how it is..." The villagers' expressions on Zhu Ping's face were not very good as soon as these words came out. What they hate most is the public revenge, especially when an official oppresses them, the peasants!
"What do you mean? Are you going to rebel!" Zhu Ping roared in a pretentious manner when he saw the villagers walking towards him slowly.
"What's the matter? Xiaozhu, didn't I tell you to check this place?" A strong voice interjected, and when everyone looked over, they saw the Lizheng family, who were following behind a few officials and talking. The person was the tall and tall official standing at the front.
"Boss, it's nothing, it's nothing." Zhu Ping smiled embarrassingly when he saw the official, and waved his hand quickly, he just felt that the current brother married to his cousin Ma Fugui was too aggrieved, and happened to see the people of the Xie family, Just think of a breath, if you really let the boss know his thoughts, he won't skin him.
"It's all right! Didn't you just say that my man is the suspect? Why did you change your tune after a while!" Xie Ame is not easy to bully. It won't be just like that! Although it was a great good thing to be away from Heli, it allowed his brother to find his present happiness, but one yardage is one yardage, he hasn't come to the door to look for the surnamed Zhu, but the surnamed Zhu has come to the door!
