067 Our souls that have nowhere to rest

Time throws away, and the years are stable. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info mountain residence is lonely, it is also a good place to cultivate oneself and leave behind the troubles. But such calm and stable days did not last a few days. The story about Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Uncle spread unconsciously throughout Dage Village, which was almost half empty, under the gloomy sky that day.

When the weather is bad, Mrs. Xu is bored at home alone, so she comes to my house from time to time. The second half of the story about Uncle Xu and Xiao Zhuzi was pieced together from the small talk between Mrs. Xu and her mother.

The year of the little pillar did "disappear out of thin air". And the origin of all this, we can't escape another key person. That person is the gambler who introduced the little uncle to the family that asks for a child. The name of the gambler is no longer available, because he left a bunch of pits on his face due to smallpox when he was a child, so everyone called him Ma San'er. Ma San'er is also a good learner, usually a gambling addict, stealing chickens and dogs, and doing all kinds of evil. On the night that Xiaozhu stayed at the lame woman's house, Ma San'er took fifty yuan of the introduction fee and went home. He was ready to rest for the night, and when it was dawn, he would take the "extra money" he earned to try his luck on the street and turn over some books. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, he was so excited that he saw a small pillar on the road that was whining and crying.

The little pillar got lost. He wanted to go home, but he didn't know the way, and he always walked around that place, so he cried anxiously. He was so small, and he was quiet and well-behaved. The lame woman didn't take much of a look at him. But what the lame woman didn't expect was that this quiet and well-behaved little boy would sneak out while she was asleep.

The three-year-old was not tall and far from the deadbolt. But it was not enough for the little pillar, and he slammed the door from below, and then got out of the small gap that appeared. When he went out, he remembered that he was heading for the bridge, and the little pillar began to run. But the twists and turns of the road in all directions soon turned the little pillar into dizziness. Fatigue and fear made the three-year-old boy cry uncontrollably.

And Ma San'er happened to pass by here.

After hearing the child's cry, Ma San'er walked over to take a look, and it turned out to be the small pillar that was taken to the lame woman's house yesterday. He wanted to take the child back to the lame woman's house, but almost as soon as he approached the little pillar, Ma San'er changed his mind. The scene of the little uncle receiving a thick wad of banknotes yesterday kept replaying in his mind.

It's a godsend! A great opportunity to make a fortune~ Ma San'er thought. He walked over slowly, ready to comfort the tired child.

As soon as Xiao Zhuzi saw him, his red eyes lit up from crying. He remembered the man. This is the man who brought himself and his uncle here yesterday. He watched the man walk towards him, as if he were looking at a giant cloaked in divine light.

"What's wrong with you?" Ma San'er squatted down and asked the child sitting on the ground wiping his tears.

"I'm going home." The little pillar pouted, and the tears almost fell again.

"Do you know the road?" Ma San'er reached out to wipe the tears on Xiaozhuzi's face.

Xiao Zhu shook his head aggrievedly.

"I don't know the way, so how do you get home?" Ma San'er laughed, wanting to tease the little boy.

"Uncle, you know my uncle, can you take me home?" Xiao Zhuzi thought for a while, blinking his eyes and looking at Ma San'er expectantly.

"I can't." Ma San'er said categorically.

"Why?" Xiao Zhuzi's mouth pursed, as if he was about to cry again.

"Because your new mom and dad will be looking for you." Ma San'er solemnly pointed to the lame woman's room behind her and said.

The little pillar didn't hold back, and tears flowed down his face. For fear of being discovered, he didn't dare to cry, just a low whimper. In this scene, Ma San'er who watched it softened for a while.

"Don't cry, don't cry, uncle will take you home, okay?" Ma San'er touched the head of the little pillar and made an calculation.

"Really?" The little pillar looked up at Ma San'er with his little furry head tilted slightly.

"Of course. Uncle is an adult. Do you still lie to a child? Ma San'er's face was loving.

Xiao Zhuzi looked at Ma San'er, and gradually stopped whimpering, he patted the soil on his little buttocks and prepared to stand up. Ma San'er stopped him.

"Little Pillar, you call it Little Pillar, right?" Ma San'er pressed the shoulder of the little pillar hard and asked. After seeing Xiao Zhuzi's affirmative nod, he continued: "Do you know why your uncle left you at a stranger's house? ”

Xiao Zhu shook his head ignorantly.

"Because you were given away by your uncle. Now you're going to be a son to this family~ understand?" Ma San'er turned his head and thought about it for a long time before he came up with such a simple explanation.

Xiaozhu shook his head and nodded again.

"Don't understand?" Ma San'er scratched her head when she saw this, "It's okay if you don't understand." All you have to know is that this family won't let you go. If they see you running away, they'll take you back! ”

Ma San'er said as she danced to scare the little pillar.

"I want to go home~" Xiaozhu shrunk and said aggrievedly.

"I'll take you back. But you have to listen to me. Otherwise, they will arrest me as a bad person when they find out that I sent you home~" Ma San'er continued to intimidate Xiao Zhu.

"Uncle, I'm obedient." Xiao Zhu said timidly.

Ma San'er nodded with satisfaction when she heard this: "Then you listen to your uncle now." Hide around here. Don't make a sound. Uncle will come when he goes, you know? ”

Xiao Zhuzi looked at Ma San'er with affection and nodded. After the little pillar was hidden, Ma San'er told him again, then turned around and ran back.

Early in the morning, the lame woman woke up from her sleep, reached out and touched it, and the small body beside her was gone.

"It's broken, the ...... in charge" The lame woman stumbled into a nearby room, waking up the man who was sleeping.

"What's wrong, the car is here?" The man asked as he opened his eyes in a daze.

"It's not! Kids, kids...... The child is gone~" The lame woman said in a panic.

"What?" The man suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up the glasses on the cabinet and quickly put them on the bridge of his nose: "When did you not see it, have you looked for it in front of the house and behind the house?" ”

"I woke up and was gone. I haven't had time to find it yet~" After discovering that the child was gone, the lame woman was in a hurry, where could she take care of thinking. The first thing that came to her mind was to come to a man for an idea.

"Oops~, then don't go find it quickly. Forgive him, a small child can't run far. Panic. The man rebuked the woman. Seeing that the woman was still the same as the six gods and no owner, the man commanded, "In this case, you should look inside and outside the house." I'll take a look around~"
