Chapter Forty-Eight: Fly Away
Regarding what happened in the garden on the day his son took a concubine, Luo Qinghai had already learned from his wife. Of course, I asked Chunhong, but I only knew that it was the person in front of me who had a dispute with that girl at that time, and I still couldn't know what was going on.
Luo Qinghai didn't look for this directly, but asked his son to find out what was going on.
After all, Luo Qinghai has a very good impression of the son's friend in front of him, and he really doesn't believe that he is a disciple.
Unexpectedly, the reply my son got turned out to be like that. The family didn't expect that this Meng Gongzi would fall in love with Xiaomi, and said that he had written a letter back to the elders to ask for marriage!
However, now that the person is gone, who still has the heart to entangle Meng Qiyu's proposal to marry, and they are all thinking about how to get the person back.
"Uncle, what do you say over there? Is there any news of Xiaomi? Meng Qiyu greeted him and asked anxiously.
Luo Qinghai really didn't expect this person to ask so directly. I have the heart to say that this is my Luo family's family matter, and I don't have to worry about my nephew, but looking at the anxious look of the person in front of me, the words were not said like that.
But the biggest reason why I think that the girl in Xiaomi can't continue to live in her own home and go back with her brother-in-law is the one in front of her.
If it weren't for him, how could his brother-in-law Lu suddenly regret it and definitely bring people back. However, a person of Luo Qinghai's age is very mature and calm, and he complains about his son's friend in his heart, but he also knows that even if it is not for him, the second brother and daughter-in-law will bring people back, it is just a matter of time or time.
Therefore, Luo Qinghai didn't ask his son's friend face-to-face, and his face was not good, so he couldn't let it go. It's just that the tone is a little stranger than before; "yes, there's no news, and I don't know where this kid is hiding."
In this sentence, Luo Qinghai deliberately bit the word 'child' extra hard, reminding his son, a close friend, that this time the matter was a bit out of line.
Where did Meng Qiyu have a reason that he couldn't hear, his expression was not too embarrassed, and he hugged his fists and saluted; "Uncle, don't worry, Xiaomi, she is smart and clever, she will definitely be fine, and I will arrange someone to find it, and I will immediately tell my uncle if there is news."
Luo Qinghai was not polite; "So it's going to be a trouble for the virtuous nephew."
He was not invited into the house, and Meng Qiyu was also very knowledgeable, so he turned around and left again without entanglement.
Luo Qinghai turned to look at the handsome figure in the distance, and sighed silently in his heart, it is still good for such a man to be the husband of the girl in Xiaomi, but it's a pity.
When he entered the back house and saw his wife Qin, he was immediately taken aback.
Since I learned that Xiaomi's girl was missing, my wife was very worried and distressed, and she would cry several times a day. But now? Her eyes were red and swollen, and she sat in a daze, anxiously asking for news when she didn't see him every day, with a look of despair.
"If we can't find her, she has already made the decision to leave when she left our house. So she has an idea, since she left, she has made a complete plan, and no matter how many of us there are, it will be difficult to find it. Qin's voice was a little hoarse, and he raised his hand and handed her husband two letters.
Luo Qinghai received it in his hand, unfolded the letter that was already a little wrinkled, and only after reading the beginning, his brows furrowed.
The words on the letter were elegant, and it was the first time he had seen such a font. He wasn't even quite sure, was this letter really written by that girl from Xiaomi?
She doesn't like to practice Chinese and calligraphy, how can she write such good words? But who would it be if she hadn't written it? How much has she brought the unexpected to everyone in the past few years?
With such intelligence, it shouldn't be unusual for her to be able to write such words!
Hastily read the letter first, and read it carefully again, Luo Qinghai could also understand his wife's feelings at this time. That girl had already planned it when she left here.
The girl had already calculated what would happen when she returned to that home, so when it happened, she didn't hold back, she actually chose to leave after returning home, instead of leaving at his uncle's house.
What does this mean? It only shows that she doesn't want to cause them trouble.
"Don't worry, she's so smart and clever, she'll be fine outside, maybe it won't be long before she can find her, or maybe, she's been out there and she'll come back." No matter how hard Luo Qinghai tried, he couldn't calm his heart, but he had to open his mouth to comfort his wife.
For more than three years, my wife has treated that girl as a daughter, and people can't find it like this, how can they not worry!
Besides, in this letter, the girl was full of words of gratitude from the bottom of her heart, and Luo Qinghai's eyes were hot and she wanted to cry. In addition to gratitude, the letter also expressed apologies, and finally blessings, but did not mention half a word of Lu's.
On the two pieces of letterhead, there is no intention of coming back. You can imagine how determined that girl is. No matter what was written in the letter, Luo Qinghai did not change his decision to continue the search, although he knew that she was smart and clever, he could not rest assured that the little girl who was only twelve years old would wander outside alone.
Although the world is quite stable, it is not something that a single woman can face, not to mention that she is still underage.
In the month after Xiaomi's departure, the Luo family brothers and sisters lived within a few hundred miles of almost everyone knew about it. Second Master Luo's eldest daughter ran away from home because she couldn't stand her mother's harsh discipline.
How the news got out, the Luo family brothers and sisters don't know, but since the girl left with Xiaomi, they have been looking for someone in a hurry, and they have never thought that the news should be blocked.
In addition, Meng Qiyu is also looking for someone on his side, so it is difficult to hide this matter from the outside world.
In the end, he simply let out the words, and if he could provide useful clues to find people, he would be rewarded heavily, but he still didn't find the slightest clue.
The girl seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which made Luo Qingmei whimsically think that Xiaomi didn't leave at all, but hid in a hidden location in her second sister-in-law's house.
Therefore, Luo Qingmei ignored the cold face of her second sister-in-law, and led the people to look for it twice more carefully in the house, and she didn't let go of the warehouse where the sundries were stored and the cellar where the winter vegetables were stored.
Several brothers and sisters also asked for help from those who had business dealings with them, but they were still in the sea.
As time passes, everyone's hearts become more and more bottomless, and although they are unwilling, they have to ask ninety percent of the people to stop looking for people. After all, life still has to pass, and business still has to go on.
At this time, Millet had arrived in Puquan Town, a small town three hundred miles away, and she left that home at night. After eating enough during the day, he lay on the bed to recuperate, and after dark, he changed into the men's clothes in the package in the house in a hurry, and the outfit was not gorgeous, it was the cloth clothes worn by ordinary children.
After applying the medicinal powder on the face, the complexion was slightly darker, because the body had not yet begun to develop, and there was no need to wrap the chest to cover up anything, and the ear holes on the earlobes were also blocked with medicinal mud, and a tomboy with good facial features left from the back window without hesitation.
Whether the Lu family will look for it after she leaves, Xiaomi doesn't know, but she can be sure that the uncle will definitely look for people everywhere. Since you choose to leave, you must not be found by them.
So, Xiaomi hid and rested during the day and hurried overnight after dark. At first, I was a little scared, but after a few nights of walking, I got used to it, and I was already familiar with the nearby route anyway.
The farther road is also very smooth because it has been prepared for a long time. It's still the early spring season, so even if you sleep in the mountains and forests, you don't have to worry about insects and snakes.
After three years of unrestrained experience in Luoqinghai, millet's ability to survive in the wild is very powerful, and it can be used as a free inn under the offering table of the broken temple and on the big tree.
The direction in which Xiaomi is moving is the capital, because she knows that it is the forbidden land of the Luo family, so it is the safest place. She plans well, now that she is too young physically, it is best to find a stable environment to live in, and when she becomes an adult, she will arrange her life well.
In other words, after leaving the Luo family, he still has to find a suitable place to settle down.
He has a few thousand taels of silver on his body, and he can't use it for the time being. No matter how confident Xiaomi is, it knows that it is better to be careful. When encountering a restaurant, I didn't dare to enter, so I just used copper plates to buy some dry food or something.
Of course, although he didn't eat any big fish and meat in restaurants, Xiaomi didn't treat himself badly. Along the way, those who encounter lakes and rivers will easily get sticks, hang their own hooks to fish and roast them. When encountering mountains and forests, big prey is not good, and it is not difficult to hunt some game of pheasants and sparrows.
Walking all the way, the more you walk, the more energetic you become. Later, even if I washed off the things on my face with water, my complexion was not as fair and moisturized as before, and Millet was not sad at all, but felt that it was more convenient to do so, so she simply stopped using the disfigurement powder that changed her skin color.
Anyway, she doesn't worry about skin problems, as long as she takes good care of it for a while, she will still recover. Right now, how convenient it is, how good it is to help yourself walk outside.
At this moment, she had just bought a few baked cakes, and when she saw a big stone in the corner, she went over to wrap it and unwrapped it and sat down, eating the baked cakes while looking at a few people resting on the wonton stall on the side.
These people also seem to have traveled a long way, an old man in his sixties, with a teenager, plus a coachman and a housekeeper.
Judging by their clothes, their family background should be pretty good.
Looking at their carriage again, Xiaomi couldn't help but sigh. Originally, I planned to buy a horse to ride after leaving the Luo family about a certain distance, otherwise, just relying on my two little short legs, when would I have to get to the capital?
After walking for hundreds of miles, my calves and stomach have become firm. Buying a horse is not a problem at all for Xiaomi, but, the average person really can't afford a horse, she is still a little teenager at the moment, and if she walks on a horse alone, it will be very eye-catching and attention-grabbing, but it is not good.
Not only for the sake of safety, but the most important thing is that I am afraid that the people of the Luo family will find themselves according to this clue, so wouldn't it be a toss in vain!
"Oh, that kid, call you, the boy who gnawed on the baked cake, come here." Mi heard the boy greet him, looked up, and realized that the kid was calling himself.
Xiaomi didn't want to go over, but she was curious about what this kid was shouting to do, so she stood up, wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and walked over with half of the baked cake that she hadn't finished eating.
I didn't take the package on the stone, because I had the silver ticket or anything on my body.
Before and after, before Xiaomi could ask him what was the matter, the young man pointed to the bowl on the table in front of him and said to Xiaomi; "Look at you pitiful, the master will reward you for eating."
What the? Reward me for eating? Xiaomi was a little confused when he heard it, and when he looked at his fingers, there was still half a bowl of wonton soup in the bowl, and then he understood what it meant.
She looked down at herself speechlessly, but the cloth on her body was stained with some dust, not patched old clothes, as if it hadn't reached the point of asking others to give away leftover soup...... R1152
