79.Chapter 79: Ma Xiaodong is missing
After a week of work, the plantation's canal was finally completed. On the same day, Luo Xu not only set off a string of 10,000 firecrackers, but also set up several tables of banquets to entertain all the villagers involved in the canal project.
He also went to invite Zhao Zhigao, originally just to be polite, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhigao to agree.
That night, the small courtyard rented by Luo Xu was brightly lit, four round tables were placed in the courtyard, and the men with red faces and thick necks who drank were guessing the wine and competing for the amount of wine, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Liu Shuying led several women to be in charge of cooking the dishes and was very busy.
This scene, even if there is a happy wine in the village, it may not be so lively.
Zhao Zhigao sat on the upper seat, he was originally a drunkard, but he didn't drink a drop tonight, no matter who came to toast, he covered the mouth, no matter how the people next to him coaxed, he just didn't drink.
Luo Xu didn't care too much about Zhao Zhigao's abnormal appearance, as the host, he had been busy greeting the guests to drink and eat.
Zhao Zhigao has always been restless, this table of wine and food seems to be not to his liking, and the chopsticks on the white porcelain bowl in front of him have hardly been picked up.
Luo Xu toasted from table to table, in order to show his respect for Zhao Zhigao, and finally came to salute him with a wine glass. At this time, although Luo Xu's face was a little red, his mind was still sober, and when he saw Zhao Zhigao's absent-minded appearance, although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about it.
"Village Chief Zhao, I have to respect you for the last cup! When I come to our Yuehu Village, I, Luo Xu, can stand on my feet and thank you for taking care of me. ”
After speaking, Luo Xu tilted his neck, and drank most of the liquor left in the small bowl, trickling down carelessly.
"Good amount of alcohol!"
Many people around applauded, Luo Xu greeted several tables of guests tonight, and drank genuine high-grade liquor. Everyone saw him eating cup after glass, but there was no sign of drunkenness, and they really admired him in their hearts.
Luo Xu was also a little puzzled in his heart, originally his alcohol consumption was very poor, otherwise he would not have let Zhang Cheng's treacherous plan succeed, and he was stuffed into the cupboard of the dressing room of the dance room of the Academy of Arts.
And tonight, he estimated that he drank at least a pound of liquor, which he couldn't have imagined that he could have such a large amount of alcohol before.
As for why the amount of alcohol suddenly increased by leaps and bounds, he knew very well in his heart, and the reason for this must be inseparable from drinking the green liquid in the small ash bottle.
This week of heavy physical labor, others are so tired that they don't even have the strength to speak, but he is still alive, thanks to the green liquid.
"Luo Xu, I'm not feeling well today, and I can't drink alcohol. ”
Zhao Zhigao rejected other people's toasts, and also rejected Luo Xu.
Since Zhao Zhigao is here, he should integrate into the atmosphere here, instead of holding a shelf and not giving face to anyone.
Everyone at the table was a little unhappy, but no one came out. Zhao Yunong also sat at this table, others might be jealous of him because of Zhao Zhigao's identity as the village chief, but Zhao Yunong, as an old elder, was not afraid of Zhao Zhigao at all.
"Zhigao! I said, what are you kid doing with a shelf all night? It's like someone owes you 200 yuan! If that's the case, why do you come here to eat? Xiao Luo respects your glass of wine today, you have to drink it, and you have to drink it if you don't drink it!"
Zhao Yunong is Zhao Zhigao's cousin, so he is naturally qualified to teach him a lesson, and this scolding makes everyone feel comfortable.
"Uncle," Zhao Zhigao raised his head and looked at Zhao Yunong, "I'm really unwell today, don't you be strong?"
Zhao Yunong didn't buy his account, pointed at Zhao Zhigao's face and scolded: "Did you kid have your period or what?" If I'm not mistaken, Erzhu got engaged a few days ago, and you had a high fever of 39 degrees that day and drank eight taels of liquor. Why is it so uncomfortable that I can't even drink a sip today?"
Zhao Yunong drank a lot tonight, and with the strength of the wine, his speech was particularly ugly, I saw Zhao Zhigao frowning, his face was dark, if he didn't care about the identity of this uncle and nephew, it is estimated that he would have to do it with Zhao Yunong today.
Luo Xu, as the host, saw that the two of them choked, and he couldn't fan the flames on the side, of course, he had to be with the mud.
"Grandpa Yunong, I see that Village Chief Zhao is really a little uncomfortable, and he didn't eat a few bites of food tonight. If you don't drink this wine today, you will have more opportunities to drink together in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhao Zhigao snatch down the wine bottle that was placed in front of Zhao Erzhu beside him, poured a bowl full of liquor into his bowl, kept silent, dried it in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth and got up to leave.
No one expected Zhao Zhigao to come out like this, Luo Xu was also stunned, and when he came back to his senses and planned to send Zhao Zhigao, Zhao Zhigao was gone.
The big guys are almost drunk, the cups and plates on the table are messy, and the dishes are almost eaten. Yoo Shu-young is taking several women to cook the last dish - seaweed egg soup.
This dish has a nickname in Yuehu Village, called "Egg Soup", under normal circumstances, this dish proves that there is no vegetable below, and you can get rid of the egg after drinking the soup.
After another half an hour, Luo Xu stood at the door and sent the guests away one by one. I really drank a lot tonight, and I felt a little dizzy in my head, and my legs were fluttering.
Liu Shuying saw that he had drunk too much, so she let him into the house to rest, and took a few women to clean up the leftovers.
Luo Xu was lying on the bed, sleeping in a daze. Liu Shuying walked in, her steps were hasty and messy, her pretty face turned pale, she opened Luo Xu's tent and shook Luo Xu, who was asleep.
"Luo Xu, have you seen my Xiaodong?"
Luo Xu woke up in a daze and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Xiaodong is gone!"
Liu Shuying was so anxious that her tears were about to fall, her son Xiaodong was the meat of her heart, if she lost it, she would have to seek death.
"Xiaodong is gone?"
Hearing this, Luo Xu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't feel sleepy for a moment, "Sister-in-law, don't panic, Xiaodong may be playing nearby." ”
"No, it won't. Liu Shuying's eyes were already red, "I have already searched for the front and back of my house, but I haven't found him." ”
Luo Xu pondered for a moment, "Sister-in-law, is Xiaodong so sleepy that he fell asleep somewhere?"
Liu Shuying said: "I also thought that if my Xiaodong was sleepy, he would climb into bed and sleep, but there was no one in bed." ”
"Then when was the last time you saw Xiaodong, do you remember?" Luo Xu had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
Liu Shuying said: "It was about seven o'clock in the evening, he was playing alone at the door of the house, and I was busy cooking at that time, so I didn't pay attention to him." ”
"Sister-in-law, let's look around. Luo Xu immediately rolled over and got out of bed, put on his shoes and brought a flashlight.
The two first searched at home, but when they couldn't find it, they started looking in the village. It didn't take long for the news to spread, and many enthusiastic villagers got involved to help Liu Shuying find Ma Xiaodong.
