Ran
As soon as Chen San finished speaking, a voice echoed in Su Hong's ears - "Mother, don't be careless".
Did Xin'er think she didn't want her again this time, so she went out to find herself "Third brother." Grabbing Chen San's arm that was cleaning the pot, Su Hong whispered, "Can I trouble you to go out and ask the neighbors—— "
"You shouldn't need to ask..." Since you already know that the girl is not lost, why bother to look for it.Will come back when it gets dark.How can children's homes be too far away from home.
Seeing Chen San frowned, Su Hongzhang added a few more words: "Third brother... Hongzhang feels that Xin'er is not around..."
"Huh? Wasn't the food still steaming just now?" How can you say that you are not around?
"I don't know about this... Hong Tang..." It's just an inexplicable restlessness...
Following Chen San out of the house in a trance, Su Hongcang hurriedly went to find Changxin.However, the neighbors all said that they had never seen such a child.Su Hongchan had no choice but to return with Chen San without success.
"Sister Hongtang, don't worry, maybe she will come back after dark..." Chen San looked at Su Hongtang apologetically.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see it until tomorrow..." Su Hongchan faintly felt that something was wrong with her heart.Otherwise, how could a five or six-year-old child avoid so many eyes around him?
"Third brother, are there any enemies around you?"
Su Hongtang fiddled with the bowls and chopsticks on the table, slowly thinking about who would entangle Xin'er around.
"Enemy? Sister Hongtang is worrying too much. I, Chen Tiesan, have hit the iron alone. How can there be an enemy?"
Staring at the innocent smile on Chen San's face, Su Hongcang had no choice but to plan for the worst—Xin'er was taken away by her prince!Except for my grandfather, there are not many people in this world who can take away Xin'er.After all, no one would take away a little girl for no reason.If he was taken away by his grandfather, he would just sit here and wait quietly for him to find him... After thinking about this, Su Hongzang sat quietly in the house, waiting for the dawn.
The house of the bandit is also lit with wax.
Changxin didn't understand why after he said Uncle Chen, his status among the bandits plummeted. Not only did the uncle who brought him back refuse to talk to him, but even the young men among the bandits kept sneaking glances at him. Eye.
"Brother! Is this girl Chen San's daughter?" The man sitting in the bandit's second seat turned his head to look at Chang Xin who was trapped in the corner, and frowned at the bandit in charge.
"Isn't that right?" The leader looked at the men in the third seat, and laughed, "This is what I got from going down the mountain today!"
"Didn't you go to beat the Zhuangzi of Daguan Zhao's family and grab some things to come back for the winter?" The third child gave the eldest a disapproving look.
"Hey! Don't mention it, that Zhao is ruthless! He actually found Chen Tiesan in advance!"
"So the eldest brother lost a lot of brothers today?" As soon as the eldest brother mentioned Chen Tiesan, the wine bowl in the second hand was heavily photographed on the table.
"That's right! That's why I want to abduct his daughter to show..."
"Just abducting his daughter, how can we vent our only hatred? We should first raise this girl in the Zhuangzi, and force Chen Tiesan to provide us with ironware. When we have the ironware, we will sell this girl to the toothmaid." , make him a lot of money!" The second child was full of bad water.
"That's a good idea..." The youngest and the eldest exchanged glances, "But how can we let Chen Tiesan know that his girl has fallen into our hands?"
"Just let a brother go down the mountain and let him bring a letter." The boss poured down a bowl of wine haha.
"The sour scholar who could write was killed by the second brother last month..." The third child showed a look of embarrassment, "Besides, Chen San may not be able to read!"
"Then..." When all the thieves were at a loss, Chang Xin's words caught everyone's eyes.
"Xin'er can write! Mother knows how to write!"
"Hahaha!" The boss frowned upon hearing this, "So I actually picked up a girl from a wealthy family today!"
"Then...do you want to let her go?" Bandits don't do official business.It's just to get some money to live a happy life, there's no need to risk your life!
"Trash! How can you let her go at this point?" The boss glanced at the second child, "Hurry up and look through the pockets of that poor scholar to see if there is any pen, ink and paper. Find it quickly, I don't have so much time to babble!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
……
"Mr. Zhao! A bandit has come down the mountain!" Kuai Ma shuttled through the jungle, his voice was a little inaudible due to the wind.
"Huh? Can you find out the reason for going down the mountain?" The leading man in a big fur pursed his lips, looked at the houses hidden among the mountains, and smiled coldly. He would pay a price if he dared to think about his Zhao family village!
"According to the person I caught, he came down to deliver a letter..." The person who answered took out a piece of origami from his cuff and handed it to the man.
The man then tightened his reins, stopped in place, and opened the letter.
As soon as the letter was opened, disbelief flashed across the man's eyes.
How could someone in the bandits' den write such beautiful handwriting?He is a person who loves writing, and the writing in this letter is well-formed and fluent, which must have been accomplished by decades of effort... Could it be that the group of bandits tied half a hundred old men up the mountain? ?
After turning his mind for a few weeks, the man glanced at the attendant: "According to how many days until we attack the mountain?"
"Go back to Officer Zhao, there are still [-] days left!"
"Hmm..." The man looked at what was said in the letter, asking Chen Tiesan to exchange an iron tool for his daughter, and couldn't help but curl his lips.Those mountain thieves were afraid to kill them, but they couldn't figure out that they intercepted this letter!
"Zhao Wu, go find a reliable person and go up the mountain pretending to be a bandit! We can't startle the snake!"
"Yes, Master!"
……
Time passed quickly, and half a month was fleeting.Su Hongtang sat in front of Chen San's house, stared at the full moon in the sky, and sighed.
She never thought that looking for someone would be such a state of mind.
In the beginning, I was anxious, and then I lost all thoughts... Now, my heart is as still as water.Even though Chen San regretted everything - he didn't chase after Changxin that day, it's hard to change that Changxin was lost after all.
"Sister Hongtang, where are you..."
Chen San is a rough guy as always!Su Hong looked at Chen San circling around the house with a sickle in his eyes, and sighed, "Brother San, I'm here!"
"Ha! Miss Hongtang is actually looking at the moon, she must be missing your family's heart!" Chen San met Su Hongtang who was sitting on the rock, scratching his head, "Sister Hongtang, I'm wondering There is no way for us to wait any longer, so I went to find an ox cart on my own initiative... We will sit down and go to the city to look for it tomorrow!"
"Oxcart?" Upon hearing that he was about to enter the city, a smile appeared on Su Hongzhang's face, "Then there will be Brother Lao!"
……
When the moon is full, it is a joy for ordinary people, and it is a special day for bandits and Zhao Daguan.
"It's been almost half a month since the letter was delivered, why hasn't anyone come looking for us?" The youngest looked at Chang Xin who was squatting in the corner angrily, and patted the table heavily.
"Maybe my mother hasn't found the way up the mountain..." Uncle Chen San is not his father... He looked at the bandits around him pitifully.After hiding in the mountains for more than a month, she finally figured out who she was with.
"But...you can't find the Tao?" As soon as Chang Xin said, the third son's tone became a little more serious, "Brother, do you think this little girl played some tricks in the letter? The brother who sent the letter came back and said Chen Tiesan has received the letter..."
"It's useless to send a letter to third uncle...he's not Xin'er's father!"
"What?" Upon hearing that the girl was not Chen Tiesan's daughter, the boss was furious!Ah bah!He has been teased by a little girl for so long!Hastily got up and walked to the corner to grab Chang Xin's neck, the boss's eyes were fierce.
"You damn girl! How dare you tease me like this! I strangle you to death!"
"Ah—" Realizing that he was lifted from the corner of the wall, Changxin began to struggle violently, "Uncle... Uncle let go... let go..."
"Heh, let go? Since you dare to lie to me, why do you have the nerve to let me go?" The boss waved at the third child, "You go out first and see how I deal with the little girl..."
"Are you sure?" As soon as the third child exited the room, the eldest brother realized that there was something wrong with the person in his arms.But how could he be frightened by such an unknown little girl like a bandit?
"I say one thing and one thing!"
"Just say the same thing?" Chang Xin stared at the man who was stuck around his neck, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.The past events of this month kept reappearing in the bottom of my heart, and I secretly felt a stagnation in my heart.She is so tired and clinging to her apprentice so far!Originally thinking that when she was a child, she only had to beware of such Changqing people, but unexpectedly, she was also a troublesome person.
Thinking back on the letter I wrote for a while, Chang Xin secretly felt that something happened to her good apprentice!She has to go back to Chen Tiesan's residence quickly!
"Then you leave your life here!" Slowly stretched out his fingers to hold the wrist that lay across his eyes, and tightened his heart mercilessly.
After the bandit loosened his wrist due to the pain, Changxin approached decisively and twisted the bandit's neck.Those who do great evil deserve to be martyred!
……
Seeing that the moon was already full, Mr. Zhao, who had been ambushing at the foot of the mountain for a long time, also ordered the guards to go up the mountain to kill the bandits!Although there is no precedent for killing bandits around, Zhaozhuang really can't afford to delay!
There was no loud killing, nor open fire.The winding path hides all the murderous intentions.
"Mr. Zhao! The bandit's lair is just ahead!" Mr. Zhao's eyes narrowed at the woodcutter's words, "Then why don't we attack?"
"This..." The woodcutter looked at the man in the hunting suit, wondering why, "When you walk here in the past, you will see bandits on the top of the mountain! Today, I didn't see a single person..."
"You mean we have been discovered?" Officer Zhao stared at the dark area not far away, and made up his mind, "Go!"
"Yes..." Seeing that the master had made up his mind, Zhao Wen immediately ran towards the gate of the bandit's stronghold.But as soon as he entered the stockade, he was shocked by the sight.
The corpses in a yard tell their sad experiences...
Could it be that these bandits were attacked by others?
Looking at the small body lying on the bandit's corpse at the gate of the village, Zhao Wen immediately grabbed her by the collar and brought her to Daguan Zhao's house.
"Master, it seems that this is the only one alive..."
……
The girl Zhao Wen found was of no help in solving the mystery of the bandits.Who made her frustrated at such a young age?
Holding the girl picked up from the bandits' den, Zhao Daguan resignedly took her to find her mother in the city.He didn't want to have too many entanglements with this little girl, but his precious cousin felt sorry for her.
"Mother!" Hearing the girl in her arms call out to a woman again, Daguan Zhao patted her on the back, and she was about to leave after reincarnation! This girl has already misidentified more than a dozen people today.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he turned around, a charming voice came from behind him.
"Heart—"
Seeing Changxin being hugged by a strange man from a distance, Su Hong, who was being led by Chen San, instantly burst into tears.
"Ha, the little lady finally found her daughter!"
"That's right! This little lady has been looking for girls in the city for some time..."
……
"Niangqin—" Seeing that the person whom he called his mother turned his head, Changxin was delighted!
"Yo ho! This is this girl's mother!" Zhao Daguan, with a long heart, saw that the eyes of the opposite woman had tears in his eyes, so he believed the words of the people around him, and confirmed Su Hongzhang's identity.Now that he had confirmed his identity, the man remembered his purpose of coming.Shi Shiran bowed towards Su Hongcang, showing the appearance of a scholar: "Since the young lady is this girl's mother, someone like Zhao has a few words to say to the young lady."
"Thank you so much, sir." Su Hongtang returned the salute to the man according to the old customs, then got close and snatched Changxin from the man's arms, but the man reached out and grabbed Su Hongtang's wrist.
"Don't worry, little lady! Mr. Zhao hasn't started talking yet!"
Officer Zhao carefully looked at Su Hong's beautiful face for a moment, and felt that he had really met a beautiful woman by chance.
