Perhaps it was Xiao Yao's intimidation and his momentum that frightened this young man. This young man, who stood up much stronger and a little taller than Xiao Yao, stood by the bed and no longer moved, he stared at Xiao Yao and said:

"I'm really not Tan Shizhu, he's my nephew. I met the girl you mentioned today, but she was taken by my nephew to the suburbs to collect rice in the afternoon. If you don't believe it, you can call the proprietress to prove it. ”

When the young man said this, how could Xiao Yao not believe it? No matter how nonsense he was, he couldn't fool Tan Shizhu as his nephew. Although Xiao Yao saw that he was not a few years older than himself, he was an uncle and nephew in the same year, and Xiao Yao himself experienced too much.

"Where did they go to the suburbs? I'm going to look for it. ”

Xiao Yao's heart was finally completely down-to-earth at this time, and Zhu Xiaomei was willing to follow Tan Shizhu out to harvest rice, which showed that she was not forced, and her personal safety would not be threatened. As long as people are well, Xiao Yao is no longer so anxious.

"I don't know this, there is no fixed place to go out to collect rice, a county is so big, where to find it? Besides, when he left, he just told me to go to the suburbs to collect rice, but did not say the specific address. ”

It is normal to go to the suburban villages to collect rice, there is no specific location, many times, they are running around one village after another, just like the merchants at that time, carrying the burden full of haberdashery, walking from village to village and selling while walking. It's just that one buys and the other sells.

After listening to this young man's words, Xiao Yao's idea of continuing to look for it was completely dispelled. There is a purpose, no matter how difficult it is to find, there is also a destination, and the search without a goal is blindness.

"I believe your words, and if I know later that you dare to lie to me, I will find you. You help me bring a letter to your nephew and ask him to let Zhu Xiaomei go home as soon as possible, so that her parents will not be in a hurry. Also, if he dares to hurt Zhu Xiaomei, don't say that I will abolish him at that time. ”

After the warning, Xiao Yao walked out of the hotel helplessly, even when the proprietress asked him, he pretended not to hear and did not answer, and came directly outside, got on the car and left.

Xiao Yao chased this matter to the end, after all, he knew that Zhu Xiaomei was fine. But in Xiao Yao's opinion, he felt that he had failed, because he hadn't seen Zhu Xiaomei, and now he didn't know where to look for it, so he came with hope and left dejectedly, what is this not a failure?

Xiao Yao got on the bike, but he didn't know where to go for a while. He wanted to take this opportunity to see his grandparents and sister, and he also wanted to find Zhou Weiai nearby, now that he was on vacation, he expected that Xiaoai would definitely be on his parents' side.

He also wanted to see his sworn brothers, and he had not dared to meet them both since he had escaped. But the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became, and he didn't make it to the end.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to go back to Zhu Xihuan's house overnight, as soon as he came to inform his parents that Zhu Xiaomei was fine, and he would also go home as soon as possible, and his mother and Gu Yuncui were still at home and hoped that he would go back early.

Fortunately, the moonlight was very bright this night, although it was not fifteen, but after Xiao Yao rode out of the city, the bright moonlight spread across the wilderness, and he felt much brighter than the dim street lamps in the city.

From the city to the county seat, about twenty kilometers of asphalt road, Xiao Yao rode in less than an hour, and came to the stone road leading to Wuyang Town, Xiao Yao looked at the silent Siye, and there was a trace of fear in his heart.

It is his nature to be afraid of the dark, although there is a big moon illumination at this time, but in such a quiet night, Xiao Yao still feels a little afraid. Because the roadside in the countryside has to pass by the cemetery from time to time, he is not afraid of the living, but of the dead.

Xiao Yao stood at the intersection of the asphalt road and the stone road, because he didn't dare to go alone, he was waiting, no matter what car or person he was waiting for, he wanted to follow behind and be brave.

God is pitiful, Xiao Yao didn't wait long before a big truck turned and drove onto the gravel road. Xiao Yao was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped on the bicycle, followed behind and stomped on it for a while, caught up with the right rear side of the big truck, stretched out his left hand to grab the carriage, and moved forward with the power of the truck.

With a big car leading the way, don't step on the car now, Xiao Yao is very proud. The fatigue of the road and the disappointment of not finding Zhu Xiaomei suddenly forgot about it.

He focused on the handlebars and kept his bike balanced. The gravel road is uneven, the bumps are particularly bad, and if you are not careful, not to mention being taken into the belly of the car, you will fall a dog and eat, and you will suffer a big loss.

After all, the stone is very hard, the edges and corners are sharp, and if you are hurt by the stone, it is not a game.

More than ten kilometers of gravel roads, under the traction of large trucks, Xiao Yao walked effortlessly. It's just that his legs didn't exert his strength, but his left arm was paralyzed by the drag.

When he was about to arrive at Zhu Xihuan's village, under the dazzling pillar of light, Xiao Yao saw Zhu Xihuan standing on the side of the road from a distance, putting his hand on his forehead, blocking the dazzling headlights, and looking this way.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao's heart warmed. He went to find Zhu Xiaomei overnight, Zhu Xihuan didn't sleep, he was still worried about himself and his third sister, such a brother is also rare.

The driver of the truck, I don't know if he noticed that Xiao Yao was grabbing the hitchhiker, and the speed was so unhurried, but at this time, the driver saw Zhu Xihuan in front of him, and for some reason, he suddenly increased his speed.

Xiao Yao was still moved by Zhu Xihuan, he was caught off guard, his left hand was not grasped, and when he wanted to use both hands to stabilize the bicycle, it was too late.

Under the inertia of the sudden acceleration, the bicycle suddenly deviated to the right and rushed towards the roadside rice field.

With the sound of "bang" and "squeak" sounded one after another, Xiao Yao's whole body was pressed by the bicycle and half of his body fell into the paddy field. His mouth was splashed with water and mud from the fields, and his cheeks were swept by the seedlings with rough burrs, making it hot and painful.

The rice field will not cut off the water until the rice is fully mature, although the water is not deep, but the mud is deep, coupled with the obstacle of seedlings, the bicycle is pressing, Xiao Yao took a long time to get up.

"What are you still doing there, you don't even know how to help me. ”

Xiao Yao was so angry, he came cautiously all the way, but when he got home, he was thrown into the field. He stood up angrily and shouted at Zhu Xihuan.

Zhu Xihuan was blinded by the lights, and only saw a big truck speeding by, and he didn't see Xiao Yao following behind the car at all. He heard something strange and wondered what had fallen out of the car.

"Second brother, are you back? I thought something had fallen on the car. ”

Zhu Xihuan heard Xiao Yao's shouting, and hurriedly ran over, under the silvery moonlight, he saw Xiao Yao covered in mud, almost soaked, standing in the rice field in an extremely embarrassed manner, constantly wiping the sewage on his face with dirty hands, but he couldn't see that the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became.

"You're the thing, you don't sleep at home in the middle of the night, and you run here to hurt people. I've come all the way without any danger, and if I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have suffered this loss. Phew. ”

Xiao Yao was really angry, and he put the responsibility for the fall on Zhu Xihuan's head. Who knew that he talked too much, and the dirty things flowed into his mouth, and Xiao Yao even took a few "bah".

Zhu Xihuan has never been more smug to Xiao Yao, seeing him like this, he doesn't care if he counts a few words. But he looked around and didn't see Zhu Xiaomei, and he became anxious again.

"Second brother, where is my third sister?"

"She's fine, she's going to the countryside to collect rice. Then. ”

Xiao Yao's anger had not subsided, he stood in the field and lifted the bicycle and handed it to Zhu Xihuan, who was standing on the side of the road.

The rice field is dozens of centimeters lower than the road, Xiao Yao's legs are stuck in the mud, and he is a lot shorter, he is equivalent to lifting the bicycle up, Zhu Xihuan bent down to pick it up, but he didn't expect the body to be muddy, too slippery, he didn't catch it, and then he reached out and bent down to reach.

What is called a disaster is not a single line, what is in front of you is an example. Xiao Yao held the bicycle with both hands, his eyes were closed by the dirty water flowing from his head, he didn't expect that Zhu Xihuan would come to pick up the bicycle and pounce on it with the car.

Zhu Xihuan was eager enough to car, and he didn't care that his little feet were slippery, and the consequence was that Zhu Xihuan pressed on the bicycle, and the bicycle was completely pressed on Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao, who was forced to be on his back again, was thrown into the paddy field with his back facing the sky.

"I ...... I didn't mean to. ”

Zhu Xihuan was so frightened that he quickly got up and explained that Xiao Yao didn't say a word, it wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't speak at all, and his eyes and mouth were closed tightly at this time. When you open your eyes, you will squint, and when you speak, you will eat the dirty rice field water, which has farm fertilizer in it.

After he moved the car himself, he wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and was about to scold Zhu Xihuan a few words, when he saw that he was the same as himself, planted in the rice field and made dirty water and mud, he was happy.

"Okay now, you accompany me, and I won't talk about you. ”

Although Zhu Xihuan was full of grievances, he had no choice but to endure it. After listening to Xiao Yao's story about finding the Peace Hotel, Zhu Xihuan was silent. The two returned to Zhu Xihuan's house like mud monkeys, but they jumped Zhu Xihuan's parents.

Xiao Yao once again told the story of going to the hostel to find Zhu Xiaomei, and Zhu Xihuan's mother sighed in shock.

"Alas, Xiaomei is confused, her life has been ruined like this, who knows how that bastard boy will spoil her? They all say that the boss of the Tan family is not a thing, how could Xiaomei run away with him? Alas, this is all fate. ”

Listening to Zhu Xihuan's mother's sigh, Xiao Yao blamed himself. He also heard the meaning of Zhu's mother's words, and hurriedly asked:

"Uncle, do you know that family?"

Zhu Xihuan's father had been silent, and when he heard Xiao Yao's inquiry, he also sighed deeply and said:

"Why don't you know each other, this is a long story, Teacher Tan and I used to be colleagues, he had a problem with his style, and he couldn't stay in school anymore, so he ran out to resell food. In the past few years, I have made some money, built a big house, and people have become more arrogant, and there are several boys, and none of them are on the road. ”

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry, since that Tan Shizhu is not a thing, you can't let Xiaomei be with him. I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow, and I won't see Xiaomei, so I will stay there and wait, and if I don't take Xiaomei back, I won't come back. If he dares to bully Xiaomei, I can't spare him. ”

But Zhu Xihuan's parents listened to Xiao Yao's words, not only did they not feel comfortable, but they frowned even deeper. After Xiao Yao finished speaking, they both shook their heads gently at the same time.
