"I'm telling you! My dad just went bankrupt and has no money!! You're going to let my sister go!!"
The boy's yelling on the phone was like a firecracker, but Xia Yu over here was completely fooled, why would he go bankrupt and have no money? He let his sister go without saying anything, as if she was a kidnapper.
Thinking about it this way, I heard the man's thick and melodious voice interspersed behind the background:
"The departure of the youngest daughter made this poor family even worse. How this broken family will face the current incomplete situation, "Today's Statement" will continue to report for you - "The Missing Child in the Snowy Night"..."
Xia Yu clenched the phone tightly, cold sweat broke out on her brow, and vaguely felt that they might really have misunderstood something.
"Ye Ziyu, turn off the TV for me!" Ye Linchuan ordered, his tone obviously tense, and he asked, "Who are you?" His voice was obviously tense.
Xia Yu and his companions looked at each other face to face, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Ye, I'm Xia Yu." Xia Yu realized that what he said just now seemed to be easily misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "We were recording a program here at Dawang Villa, but we didn't expect Ya Ya to be there, and there was no one around Come on, so I wanted to give you a call."
Obviously, Ye Linchuan didn't save his mobile phone number, and thought he was a kidnapper.
Xia Yu said to himself, "If you don't mind Mr. Ye, you can add a note for me."
Ye Linchuan didn't speak, but the people beside him, including the director, all laughed.
After a while, Ye Linchuan said, "Mr. Xia, please take care of her. I'll be there right away."
He was so anxious that he hung up the phone after saying this, without giving Xia Yu a chance to react.
Xia Yu knew that he was eager to miss a girl, so she didn't care about it, and put the phone back in her pocket with a smile.
The little girl on the stage was still performing, and the eyes of the audience were all focused on her, regardless of age, they watched with gusto, especially the old lady Wang Chunhua, whose face was flushed with joy.
Xia Yu folded her arms around her chest, thoughtfully.
"The little girl is young but not stage-frightened. She can arouse the audience's emotions. If she is cultivated well, she will grow up to be a good seedling."
The person who spoke was an old-timer in the film and television industry, who looked like a Maitreya Buddha with a bald head and belly, but when he was young, he was what is now called a fresh meat. He needed acting skills and a singing voice. At that time, he was popular all over the country, and others commented on him with one sentence—everyone knew Xu Mingyi. Later, he got married and had a son, and retired behind the scenes to become a director.
Xia Yu had a flash of inspiration and said, "I remember Brother Xu has a show that is short of guests. What do you think of Yaya and Mr. Ye?"
Xu Mingyi stroked his chin and began to think seriously.
Ye Ya, who was concentrating on performing, didn't know that she was the focus. She took a curtain call amidst thunderous applause, and she didn't forget to bow to the audience and the host before stepping off the stage. After walking down the steps step by step, the crisp system prompt sounded again.
[Sub-task: To be appreciated by Uncle Xia has been completed. ]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission, and I will start the main mission 09 for you immediately. ]
[Main task 09: Participate in the program "Please Listen to the Children" with Xia Qing (not completed)]
The task was completed and released again. The system that had just gone to troubleshoot the bug for a long time was in a hurry: [You fucking stop posting! You made all the mistakes, post it, send it back! ]
System prompt: [The system has detected abusive behavior. Considering that the host is underage, in order to avoid bad influence, the system will activate the protection mechanism, and the system will be banned for 48 hours from now on. ]
[Hold? ]
System prompt: [The system chat has been blocked for the host. ]
[I forbid myself? ]
System prompt: [The system chat has been blocked for the host. ]
[No, are you sick? ]
System prompt: [has been for... ]
The system competed with the system, Ye Ya's head was full of ding ding ding ding, and his ears were numb from the noise. He slammed his head twice with his little hand, opened the system panel, and skillfully turned off the system notification sound, and the world instantly became quiet.
She exhaled comfortably, ran to the old lady Wang Chunhua and asked a few words of congratulations, and then ran to Xia Yu.
He raised his head and called Uncle sweetly.
The program team originally wanted to take the route of warmth in the last episode, but Ye Ya's sudden appearance broke the original plan. The director looked at the pretty little face and the smiling faces all over the room, and sighed, even if he wanted to be warm in this situation, he couldn't be warm .
So the director changed the plan again, asked the members of the challenge group to sing a joyful song together, and sent blessings to the elderly, and finally did not disturb their family reunion.
Xia Yu took Ye Ya back to the backyard, sat on the stool and chatted while waiting for Ye Linchuan to come and pick her up.
Ye Ya's small mouth is so sweet, she calls this uncle at one time, and brother at another, she is not afraid of life at all, and coaxes people to laugh.
So when Ye Linchuan rushed over, what he saw was a happy scene.
Looking at Ye Ya, who was sitting on the stool leisurely eating an apple, Ye Linchuan's anger pent up in his chest erupted like a volcano.
He found out that Ye Ya wasn't there at around six o'clock, at first he thought he was going downstairs to pick up Ye Qinghe, but he didn't care, and didn't realize it was wrong until he didn't come back for ten minutes.
Ye Linchuan was afraid that the little girl would be caught by the people from the management bureau, or that the Zhao family would secretly kill her, so he put down his face in fear, and asked the whole family, including the aunt next door, to search for her all over the community, but he had no clue.
It wasn't until Shu Meichen called and Xia Qing cried that Ye Ya hadn't come, that Ye Linchuan realized that something was wrong.
Family members, neighbors, and even strangers are all worried about her.
But.
She actually eats apples leisurely here? Also attended a banquet by the way? !
The popularity is extremely calm, Ye Linchuan walked towards Ye Ya step by step, Ye Qinghe followed closely behind.
Ye Ya didn't notice that something was wrong, and brought the remaining half of an apple to Ye Qinghe, "Brother, eat it, it's so sweet."
Ye Linchuan lowered his eyes, his eyes were gloomy.
Everyone in the program group behind was nervous, and saw a capital letter——danger appearing above the little girl's head.
Not so good.
run, baby!
Ye Qinghe's face was pale, and for the first time, he didn't take what she handed over.
He squatted down, raised his hand to brush the hair that covered her face, and said in a soft tone, "Tell brother, why are you running so far alone?"
"Participate in the banquet." Ye Ya approached, still determined to share apples with him, "Brother, eat."
Ye Qinghe felt a lot of helplessness in his heart, took the apple and put it on the table, and forced her body to straighten with both hands: "Tell me honestly, how did you get here?" Normal people see that it is impossible for such a small child to pull it. It's good luck that she can stand here intact, if she encounters any bad guys...
Ye Qinghe's heartbeat was irregular, and his heart beat a little faster.
Ye Ya saw that Ye Qinghe was a little unhappy, so she honestly told the story of how she left home, including the trick she used to sneak into the car.
She spoke calmly, and the others smacked their tongues secretly. They never thought that a three-year-old child could have such an IQ. After being shocked, they would be afraid. If the hitchhiker had any evil thoughts, if the hitchhiker happened to be a human trafficker, if...
As long as there is an if, it will bring her a catastrophe.
"Didn't you promise your brother not to wander around again? You clearly promised it before, but why did you leave a note and leave?"
again? !
The onlookers caught the point.
Ye Ya bulged, and said plausibly, "How can you even believe in a child's promise."
Ye Qinghe had a lump in his throat, and suddenly became speechless.
These words were like a pinch of flames, successfully igniting the anger that had been suppressed in Ye Linchuan's heart. He grabbed Ye Ya and slapped the little girl's round buttocks.
Ye Ya shuddered, her expression blank, apparently unable to react.
Ye Linchuan raised his hand again and patted her body.
pain.
Hot.
Ye Ya regained her senses as she clutched her buttocks.
Her eye circles were red, and her mouth was so pouted that she could hang an oil bottle, "You... you hit me..."
"I'll hit you!" Ye Linchuan gritted his teeth, getting angrier as he thought about it, and hit you three or two times in succession.
Ye Ya was stunned.
She is a baby pampered by her parents. Usually, Yeer Huang Yihui will make her father feel bad. Let alone beating, she has never been fierce. She has never been treated like this in a hundred years.
Discomfort, grievance, and helplessness all rushed out in an instant.
Ye Ya closed her eyes and cried loudly.
Ye Linchuan didn't care whether she was crying or not, he beat and scolded: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused others? Do you know that your brother has a heart disease and can't stand the stimulation? Do you know that Ziyu thought you were kidnapped and made a fuss?" Want to replace you with yourself? You know what a fart, you know how to cry!"
Ye Linchuan gritted his teeth with hatred.
The moment Xia Yu called, he really thought that the little bastard had been kidnapped, and thousands of thoughts came to mind in just one second.
He has no money now and can't pay the ransom. When the kidnappers tear up the ticket, the young men in the family will probably follow the "sacrifice sister". By then, will he die alone or not? To live or not to live
To be honest, Ye Linchuan had already thought of her epitaph.
But she was fine, sitting on a chair and eating apples, plausibly speaking without feeling wrong.
Ye Linchuan advocates gentle education and not beating children. Ye Ziyu tore up his documents and he never beat them. Today, thanks to Ye Ya, he experienced for the first time the feeling described by his parents on the Internet-hateful slaps, not beating education, not beating children. stand up.
"How many times did you say you ran? Say! How many times have you run!"
He roared so loudly that Ye Ya trembled in fright and stammered: "One, one time..."
"Fart! Say it a few times!" Ye Linchuan blushed so angry that his neck was thick, and he was still calm and self-sufficient in the past.
Ye Ya cried super loudly: "Two, three... three or two times, wow——"
She was going to be scared to death.
Crying louder and louder, the desire to survive made her break away from Ye Linchuan's arms and run around, unable to see the way through her tearful eyes, her little feet seemed to have stepped on something. The crying stagnated, and Ye Ya struggled to open her tear-filled eyes wide.
——It was a big white goose scattered in the yard, staring at her right now.
Ye Ya silently moved the little feet on its wings back, and apologized with sobs: "Yes, I'm sorry, goose... goose, hiccup."
Cry till hiccup.
The big white goose doesn't care whether you are a baby or not, or whether you are the cutest little monster in the world, it only knows that a village tyrant has been stepped on, and it is not happy, so it immediately calls the brothers to wake up, flapping its wings and rushing towards Ye Ya .
The big white goose that flew up caught up to her, and Ye Ya stood upright in fright, the little leaf on top of her head, screamed and ran away.
"Goose, don't chase me... woo... hiccup, Goose, I'm sorry, burp... woo..."
Everyone knows that geese are painful to peck, not to mention children, even adults dare not provoke her. Ye Linchuan was afraid that she would be pecked, so he hurried forward to scoop her up.
Looking at the strong arms stretched forward, Ye Ya's hair all exploded, and she cried louder: "Don't hit me, brother!"
"Oh, goose, don't chase me; brother, don't catch me!! Brother, save me, save Yaya, woo... hiccup!"
"belch!"
Attacking back and forth, there is no way out.
Not to mention, this picture is miserable, but the sense of joy is also true joy.
The photographer laughed like a fool without sympathy, and the picture in the lens was shaking.
Only then did the director come to his senses, and kicked the cameraman and assistant: "What are you laughing at, help me!" The child would be exhausted after running like this!
In the end, it was Xia Yu who reacted quickly, grabbing Ye Ya into her arms with quick eyesight and hands.
Xia Yu is very tall, more than 185 in height, and the goose fluttered blindly for a long time and couldn't reach anyone, so he squeaked twice and swaggered away.
Ye Ya found the backer, wrapped her arms tightly around Xia Yu's neck and did not let go, sobbing and crying. She was terrified, and after running for a long time, she was sweating and tears were running down, all the grievances were shown on her face.
Xia Yu felt a little distressed, lightly patted the little girl's soft back, and said with a smile: "Forget it Mr. Ye, Ya Ya is still a child, even if you hit her, you won't remember it."
"Child?" Ye Linchuan sneered, "I've never seen such a capable child."
Ye Ya's head was buried in the socket of Xia Yu's shoulder, she buried her face tightly and refused to go out.
"Yaya, we're going back." Ye Qinghe stepped forward, "But they are all waiting for you at home, come here quickly."
Ye Qinghe stretched out his hand.
Ye Ya lost her temper, and stubbornly hid in Xia Yu's arms, refusing to talk to anyone, her little arms were tightly wrapped like snakes, Xia Yu was a little out of breath, and struggled to pull her away, "Come on Ya Ya, have a good time with Dad Apologize."
"...he's not my father." Ye Ya's voice was muffled, and she was on the verge of tears as she spoke, "Daddy won't hit me..."
"You still have to talk to you!" Ye Linchuan rushed forward again, striding forward to forcefully snatch him away.
Ye Ya was so frightened that she continued to cry, Xia Yu hurriedly turned her back, "Mr. Ye, calm down and talk to Yaya properly."
Ye Linchuan gave Xia Yu a blank look. This kind of person who is not married and not a father will stand up and talk, and he doesn't understand his hardships. Damn, I can't figure it out, how did the gourd baby's grandfather bring up the seven gourd babies? It's better to come directly to a goblin to capture him!
Ye Linchuan was frantically testing on the verge of death, with one leg already two-thirds of the way into the grave.
After he calmed down, he noticed that there were a few cameras behind him, surrounded by guests watching the fun. Ye Linchuan was so ashamed that he didn't want to stay here for others to see jokes. He took the child into his arms regardless of Ye Ya's resistance. Said in a calm tone: "I owe you a kindness, and I will definitely pay it back another day."
As soon as Ye Linchuan finished speaking, Xia Yu was pushed down from the back, squinting, it was Xu Mingming.
Xia Yu immediately understood, and leaned closer and said, "I don't think there will be another day, so let's do it now."
Ye Linchuan who was just talking politely: "?"
Afraid that others would hear, Xia Yu dragged Ye Linchuan into the bungalow, "It's like this. I'm going to take Xia Qing to a parent-child show during the summer vacation in July. It's a pretty relaxing show, and the director is Senior Xu Mingxu, but There is still a group of guests missing, I wonder if Mr. Ye would like to take Ya Ya to..." He said while stroking the little girl's fluffy hair.
Ye Linchuan frowned.
He has never participated in this kind of show that brings children to the public. If he had definitely rejected it before, it would be his fault for talking too fast just now.
"Besides this little monster, my family has four more children to take care of." Ye Linchuan said as tactfully as possible.
Xia Yu didn't give a way out: "I'll take care of it and make sure you don't have to worry about the follow-up, and you don't have to worry about the price."
"..."
"That depends on whether she agrees."
Xia Yu's eyes fell on Ye Ya, she hadn't come out of her sadness yet, her expression was listless, pitiful and cute.
"Is Yaya going to be on the show with sister Xia Qing or uncle? Besides sister Xia Qing, there are other brothers playing with you."
Ye Ya sniffled, and her mind, which was occupied by sadness, gradually cleared up.
She suddenly remembered the task, nodded slowly, her childish voice was hoarse, and said slowly; Don't stay with the smelly brother either.
Thinking about it, Ye Ya's eye circles turned red again.
"Okay, stop crying." Xia Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped the little girl's dirty face from crying, "It's late, hurry up and go back with Dad." After speaking, she looked at Ye Linchuan again, "Ye Linchuan Always go back and tell Yaya carefully, don't be mean to her."
Ye Linchuan didn't answer, and strode away with Ye Ya in his arms.
After getting in the car, Ye Ya sat quietly beside Ye Qinghe, while the cheap father was driving in front, the lights of the lights ripped two holes in the night.
"If Ya Ya is tired, you can sleep next to your brother."
Ye Ya couldn't stop stirring her little finger, she lowered her head and refused to make a sound, apparently still sulking.
"Because Dad hit you and I didn't stop you, so you are unhappy, right
Ye Ya swayed her little feet, which was her default.
Ye Qinghe took a deep breath, "You clearly promised last time that you would not sneak away again. I trust Ya Ya very much, but you let my brother down."
"... I left a note." Ye Ya muttered in a low voice.
"So? Do you think it's right to leave a note and leave?" Ye Qinghe taught patiently, "Ya Ya, you can't make up your own mind, this is irresponsible to yourself, and also irresponsible to all of us .I know you are still young, a baby, but being young will not be an excuse for you to do wrong things. My brother likes you, so he will tolerate you once, twice, three times, but definitely not for the fourth time. I I'm not sure if something unexpected will happen in the fourth time." His tone was very gentle, but his eyes showed excitement, "Yaya, luck doesn't favor one person forever."
"Yes!" Ye Ya patted his head, "Ya Ya represents luck, and Ya Ya can bring luck to himself."
"But no one else will bring you luck."
Ye Qinghe said suddenly.
She stared blankly, her arms slowly lowered.
"Ya Ya, look outside."
Ye Ya turned her head obediently, the wilderness was outside the car window, the scenery shrouded in moonlight was desolate and gloomy, the shadows of trees swayed in the dark night, and occasionally flowers and plants could be heard roaring, they commented on the buried bones under their feet, as casually as talking about wild cats and dogs.
Weeds don't care about human life, just like human life does not care about weeds. In their view, dead corpses are just nutrients for them to thrive, and they wish that the more people die, the better.
Her back was inexplicably cold, and it was the first time that she felt afraid of her own kind.
"Father only hurts you for a while, but if it falls into the wrong hands, you won't even have time to hurt."
Ye Ya's nose was sour, and tears fell silently.
Ye Qinghe gently touched the top of her head: "There are not only good people in this world, but also thousands of bad people. We may not be able to avoid them, but we must be vigilant, do you understand?"
Ye Ya rubbed her swollen eyes from crying, kicked off her shoes and climbed into Ye Qinghe's arms, hugged him and kissed him, rubbed and rubbed, and confessed her mistake while being coquettish: "I'm sorry brother, from now on, I won't run around. Really Really, I... I promise you, I will be a good baby in the future, I will not run away, and I will not let the bad guys take me away."
Ye Qinghe: "But didn't you say that children's promises cannot be trusted?"
Ye Ya muttered: "I, that sentence is not credible either."
Ye Linchuan in the front seat snorted coldly to express his disdain.
Ye Ya was flustered, and bit her finger: "If you still don't believe me, I... I'll go back and write a review!"
Ye Qinghe chuckled: "You still know about self-criticism?"
He let Ye Ya relax with a smile, found a comfortable position in his arms, and laughed a few times, "I learned it from the TV series~" The male lead made a mistake, so he will be ready as soon as he finishes writing the review for the female lead.
"Brother, my butt hurts..." Ye Ya was aggrieved, she didn't dare to stare at Ye Linchuan, only dared to stare quietly. He just looked over, and Ye Ya was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her eyes and slipped into Ye Qinghe's arms.
The car arrived home an hour later, and it was around ten o'clock, and those uncles and aunts who were worried about Ye Ya's situation were still awake. Ye Linchuan asked him to go home first, and then took Ye Ya from door to door to apologize.
Ye Ya was liked by the elders and aunts, especially Aunt Qian who was facing her. Seeing her intact in front of her, she finally let go of her hanging heart, and shed two strings of tears because she was too worried.
Ye Ya suddenly feels guilty and uneasy, this time she really realizes how much trouble she has caused others.
Sometimes one person's actions can affect others.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, Yaya won't leave indiscriminately from now on." She raised her head and repeated, "Yaya won't leave indiscriminately from now on."
"Hey, my baby." Aunt Qian was very worried, and hurriedly took out a basket of snacks sent by her son from the kitchen, and forced it into Ye Ya's hands, "Take it back and eat it with my brothers! Remember not to run around anymore gone."
Ye Ya stared blankly at the extra bag of snacks in her hand, Gulu swallowed, patted her belly again, and returned the basket cruelly: "No, no, Ya Ya."
Aunt Qian wondered: "Ya Ya doesn't like dim sum? Then I..."
"I did something wrong. If my aunt gave me food, I would think it was a reward. I will admit my mistake this time and dare to do it next time. I can't do it."
Aunt Qian was stunned, looked at Ye Linchuan, and murmured: "You kid is quite good at educating yourself."
Ye Linchuan's mood eased, and his lips curled slightly: "Take it back, keep it for yourself." After speaking, he took out his wallet, took out a few red bills from it, and stuffed them into the aunt's hand, and said in her astonished eyes, "It's really troublesome for you and other aunts this time. If you use the money to take them to dinner, take it as my thank you to everyone."
"Hey? Xiaoye, take it back, there's no need for it."
"Small… "
Ye Linchuan picked up Ye Ya, and rushed in regardless of his aunt's call.
Shen Zhou and the others didn't sleep either, they were sitting in the living room waiting for her to come back.
"Ya Ya, are you okay?" This is Shen Ran.
"The kidnappers didn't bully you, did they?" This was Ye Ziyu who was determined that Ye Ya was kidnapped.
"Why are you running around again?" This is the unhappy Shen Zhou.
Brothers are concerned about her.
Ye Yaban had a small face, and walked up to Shen Zhou first: "Brother Shen Zhou, I'm sorry, I won't run away from now on." Then she came to Shen Ran, "Brother Ran Ran, I'm sorry, I really won't wander off." Finally, Ye Zi Yu, "I'm sorry, I, I wasn't kidnapped."
She apologized one by one, with a good attitude, and the brothers immediately forgave without saying a word. They washed the fruit and took the oranges, and served her like a queen, and they were short of offering two sticks of incense.
Ye Linchuan's eyelids twitched violently when he saw the warm picture of his brother doting on his sister and laughing. If this goes on like this, it won't take tomorrow, and he won't be able to find Bei in a while.
He stepped forward to drive away brothers one, two, three, four, and hooked Ye Ya's fingertips: "Get up."
Ye Yaya, the king of the family who had just been beaten, knew that the situation was over, so he didn't dare to resist, and stood up tremblingly.
"You, if you spank me, can you stop spanking me?" Ye Ya discussed humblely with her hands behind her back, "Slap... spanking is okay." After finishing speaking, she stretched out her little hand very obediently.
Ye Linchuan was both angry and funny, and for a moment suppressed the slightly raised corners of his lips, pretending to be serious: "Come here, write a review."
Ye Ya... dumbfounded.
