Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beginning of IQ

Hua Xiaoen put down Chen Xiaocao and said, "Normally, this little sister should be at home." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Xiaocao also felt strange, knocked on the door a few times with his hand, and shouted loudly into the house: "Sister! Sister! I am back! ”

After shouting for a long time, there was still no response in the house.

The two looked at each other, both with a bad premonition in their hearts.

Chen Xiaocao didn't speak again, but went around to the backyard of Chen's house, picked up a pile of grass, and revealed a hole that was only big enough for Chen Xiaocao to climb in.

This hole is the secret passage where Sister Manman locked her up at home before, and she can still run out of the mountains and wilderness......

Hua Xiaoen felt that it was not very good for him to climb into other people's houses, so he said to Chen Xiaocao: "You go in and have a look, I'll wait for you at the front door." ”

Chen Xiaocao nodded and disappeared into the hole.

Hua Xiaoen detoured to the front door again, and heard the voice of Chen Xiaocao walking back and forth and shouting Chen Manman, and after a quarter of an hour, Hua Xiaoen didn't hear Sister Manman's response from inside.

When Chen Xiaocao opened the door, looking at Chen Xiaocao's crying expression, Hua Xiaoen knew that Chen Manman was indeed not at home.

"Could it be that I have something to do when I go out?" Hua Xiaoen said, although this possibility is not large.

In this small village, everyone's life has been the same for many years, and it will not change much.

"Where can I go so early!" Chen Xiaocao was hoarse, and tears fell down, "Will something happen to my sister!" ”

"Xiaocao, don't cry first, let's ask the others first to see if anyone sees Sister Manman." Hua Xiaoen said while helping Chen Xiaocao wipe her tears.

Seeing Uncle Zhang, who had always gone out early, passing by, Hua Xiaoen hurriedly pulled Chen Xiaocao and ran over and asked Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, did you see Sister Manman this morning?" ”

"Vines? No. She shouldn't have gone out yet, what's wrong? Uncle Zhang turned his head and saw Chen Xiaocao wiping tears on the side, and said in surprise: "Xiaocao, are you back?" Didn't the vine say that you went to cultivate immortals? A few days ago, you told us that you don't have to worry about being out there alone! ”

Listening to Uncle Zhang's words, Chen Xiaocao cried even more fiercely, crying and saying, "I'm back, but my sister is gone." ”

Seeing that Chen Xiaocao was crying sadly, and there were only two children, Uncle Zhang hurriedly comforted: "Xiaocao, don't worry, Manvine may have something to do." I'll help you find someone to ask, Qianxue Village is so big, and someone will definitely see it when you go out! ”

As soon as Uncle Zhang finished speaking, Brother Li, who was in charge of the letters in the village, greeted Uncle Zhang and walked over, and when he saw Chen Xiaocao, he was surprised: "Xiaocao, you're back!" ”

Then he smiled again: "I just said let the vine not worry, just wait at home, Xiaocao will definitely come back by itself!" ”

"Do you see the vines?" Uncle Zhang asked first.

"No, just two days ago, Manman received a letter saying that the grass was missing, and she said that she would pack up her things to find the grass, and I advised her to wait at home. I said that Xiaocao would come back on her own. Brother Li was proud that he was right, and he couldn't hide his pride between his words.

Hearing what Brother Li said, the other three all guessed that Chen Manman went out to find Chen Xiaocao, but they didn't know when Chen Manman went out and how far he had gone now.

"Uncle Zhang, Brother Li, when was the last time you saw Sister Manman?" Hua Xiaoen grabbed Chen Xiaocao's hand, hoping to give her some support, don't worry too much.

Uncle Zhang thought for a moment and replied, "Yesterday at noon, I saw her sitting at the door and looking. ”

"Before dark, I finished delivering the last letter and saw her sitting at the door of the house." Brother Li replied.

In this way, Sister Manman was still in the village before dark yesterday.

If Sister Manman went out at night, there would be only one way out of Qianxue Village, and Chen Xiaocao came back last night and would definitely meet him on the road.

Hua Xiaoen guessed that most of Sister Manman went out this morning.

Hua Xiaoen pulled Chen Xiaocao to thank Uncle Zhang and Brother Li and say goodbye, and then walked to Hua's house.

He now needs to go back and find someone to help, hoping to catch up with Sister Manman before she reaches the main city.

Hua Xiaoen and Chen Xiaocao both turned around and left, and the enthusiastic Uncle Zhang and Brother Li asked if they needed help. Hua Xiaoen thanked him and took Chen Xiaocao home to find Ye Qian for help.

If Sister Manman was out of the village this morning, it would be too late to chase after her, once she entered the main city, it would be difficult to find someone again.

Back at the Hua family, Ye Qian heard that Chen Xiaocao needed help, and he was very happy.

He heard Hua Xiaoen describe Chen Manman's appearance, so he set off to chase Chen Manman who went out to find Chen Xiaocao, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pinch Chen Xiaocao's face, and said, "Uncle Ye will help you bring your sister back, don't cry." ”

When Ye Qian turned around to leave, Hua Xiaoen grabbed Ye Qian violently and said to Chen Xiaocao: "Chen Xiaocao, what is there on you that Sister Manman knows is yours at a glance?" ”

As soon as Hua Xiaoen said this, Ye Qian suddenly thought that Chen Manman had never seen him, even if he told Chen Manman that Chen Xiaocao had gone home, Chen Manman might not believe it, if he took a token of Chen Xiaocao in his hand, it would increase his credibility and reduce the time of suspicion and hesitation between each other.

Chen Xiaocao thought for a while, ripped off the rope tied with braids, handed it to Ye Qian, and said, "This rope was woven by my sister for me, she must know it!" ”

After Ye Qian accepted it, he praised Hua Xiaoen and went out.

After Ye Qian left, Hua Xiaoen's heart was also put down.

Uncle Ye is a person who cultivates immortals, and his speed is definitely faster than Sister Manman, and it is only a matter of time before he recovers it, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Hua Xiaoen just put her mind at ease, and looked up to see Miss Bai in the courtyard with her back to them, reading her book intently, and she was not disturbed by them at all.

Winter is gradually coming to an end, and grandpa spends most of his time preparing for the sowing of new medicinal herbs in the spring, so most of the time, grandpa is busy in the backyard medicine garden.

"Let's go, go to your house and wait for Sister Manman."

Hua Xiaoen's mood was a little heavy, he took Chen Xiaocao's hand and walked outside the house. Instead of not staying by Miss Bai's side at all, it is better to simply stay away from her.

Chen Xiaocao will stop crying, but she still can't stop sobbing. Although she was thinking about her sister in her heart, she still noticed Brother Xiao En's heavy expression, and she looked back at the direction of Brother Xiao En's gaze just now.

There, there is a girl in white who seems to be in a paradise, leaving her alone.

It's the guest that Brother Xiao En's brother has never let her see.

Why didn't Brother Xiao En let her come into contact with that girl?
