Chapter 100: Kidnapping
The waterway in the mountains has just opened, and there are not many fleets that dare to eat crabs, and there were not too many guests when the Du family's small restaurant opened, but Daddy Du still invited the blowing team to come to the door with joy.
The small restaurant is not small, and after discussing with his sons, Daddy Du and several sons targeted the restaurant as ordinary people, and the main business is takeaway.
If you ask who is doing more at the dock, it is naturally the laborers who help pull and unload the cargo and the shipwrights on board. Of course, there are many rich lords, but those people will not go to a small restaurant to eat even for the sake of face. What's more, the cooking in the restaurant is the sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, and a few peasant women, and the things they make will taste better because they are willing to put things, but they are still not comparable to the chefs of those restaurants.
Takeaway has long been popular in this era, of course, it is not the kind of TV where one person carries a big carved lunch box with three or four layers, but the person who eats brings his own guy, and he can find a wall root to squat at the root of the meal, snoring and leaving after eating.
Bringing your own dishes and chopsticks can save the store a lot of trouble, so there is usually a default rule that the store that brings its own dishes and chopsticks will give more food than the people who eat in the store, so people who work on the dock all year round rarely come into the store to eat.
Daddy Du and Fourth Brother Du have gold and silver cousins made a wooden fence to separate the shop from a small façade, Daddy Du was originally going to sell the cake tarts that his daughter learned from the master of joy, but it turned out that everyone's learning ability is too strong, the cake has only been tried so many times before the banquet, and now there are many dim sum shops that sell chicken cakes and other small biscuits.
Daddy Du looked at the compartment and sighed for a long time, but he still decided to sell steamed buns and braised pork, which is his old business, as for the chicken cake, the sour smell of the chicken cake wafting from the dim sum shop opposite is enough!
After the discussion of the Du family, in addition to the full rice steamed buns, the menu uses pork, fish and seasonal vegetables as the main dishes, which are produced and sold by themselves, reducing costs and making some contributions to the village.
Speaking of fish, it is necessary to mention rice field fish farming, since the promotion of rice field fish farming, almost every household in any place where rice can be planted has followed the attempt, and the increase in grain production has also brought another problem, and there are too many fish to eat.
The Dashang River is dense, and whoever is hungry for meat and really has no money will fish a few in the nearby river to satisfy their hunger. This shows how abundant underwater resources are. A large number of fish grow up together, and in addition to selling them to the households in the county seat, almost all of them are raised at home and eaten by themselves, but they can't just throw the fish in the ground. When the fish grow up, they will eat the freshly planted seedlings. If you don't raise fish, you are afraid that the rice yield will be reduced, but after raising it, you can only pile it up in the village pond because you can't sell it, which is a pity in vain. The people of the village are worried about this!
As soon as they heard that there was fish, almost all the old ladies of each family interceded and thought that Daddy Du would use their fish first. It is better to sell than to throw it in the pond.
For the sequelae of fish farming in the rice field, Master Xile and Du Xiaoxi can't do anything, this time and space don't want them to think about whether they can eat it even if there are fish in the river in their previous life, whether they are healthy or not. Small fish and shrimp are everywhere here, and they can't be exported abroad, even if they are really sold abroad, the money earned can't make up for the high road expenses.
……
The autumn wind is rustling, and the cold wind is passing.
Another year has passed since Du Xiaoxi's dull traversal life.
The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain. The BMW carved car is full of incense, and the sound of the phoenix flute moves. The light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.
In the eighteenth year of Jiayuan, Du Xiaoxi participated in an unforgettable and beautiful Shangyuan Festival that has been sung through the ages.
In Shanshui County, the rich families led by Liu Erye began to show off their wealth again, and in order to celebrate the completion of the mountain waterway, the local tyrants decided to hold a grand Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
Du Xiaoxi has participated in several Lantern Festival lantern festivals called lantern appreciation, but the store actually engages in promotions, and has seen the electronic lantern festival supported by high technology in the previous life, to be honest, he would rather stay in the village and walk around the village with the children of the same village carrying cabbage gnocchi with small wooden sticks and small candles and three red ropes in the village, rather than go to the county seat to crowd people.
However, a few days ago, Liu Erye asked people to spread the word that he would take Du Xiaoxi to see the lights during the Shangyuan Festival. Daddy Du thought that the little girls liked to watch the excitement, so he agreed directly. Today, Du Xiaoxi still appeared on the crowded street.
"Brother Xiaotu, that lotus lantern is so beautiful, can you buy it for me?" He Weiwei leaned next to Liu Yao, looking at Liu Yao longingly, and then at the lotus lamp.
Liu Yao was embarrassed for a while, and said with a solemn face: "You can take a look at the others!" ”
Dashang believes in Buddhism, and one step at a time. Step by step, the lotus flower is enshrined as the national flower.
Men and women give lotus flowers to each other with the meaning of admiration, usually only between fiancés will give gifts, He Weiwei so directly to Liu Yao to ask for lotus lanterns, so that Liu Yao is really annoyed.
Liu Yao knew what his mother meant and wanted him to marry He Weiwei in the future, but Uncle Du said that a man should be a woman for the rest of his life. Otherwise, he will wait for the rest of his life to stop. Master Xile also said that the things in the world are all one-to-one, and it is a sin for him to take one more, so the wife can only marry one, otherwise the retribution will be on the children and grandchildren in the future, and sooner or later the children and grandchildren will be cut off. My father, Second Master Liu, has always said that he and Sister Xi should cultivate a good relationship, and don't be deceived by that face when they look good at others.
Because of the words of the adults, in Liu Yao's cognition, he will be with Sister Xi for the rest of his life, and he can't have too much contact with other little ladies, let alone send lotus flowers.
Liu Yao refused directly, He Weiwei wanted to scold people angrily, but the person who refused was Liu Yao, and she couldn't scold, and finally glared fiercely at Du Xiaoxi, who was held by Liu Yao and cut down idlely. When Liu Yao picked out a delicate pink lotus lamp and gave it to Du Xiaoxi with a smile after walking forward for a while, He Weiwei directly looked at the two of them with a black face.
"It's too crowded up ahead, shall we go the other way?" Du Xiaoxi looked at the crowded scene not far away, and decisively planned to change lanes.
He Weiwei was unhappy, how could she let Du Xiaoxi get her wish, and snorted, "I don't want it!" I'm going to see the Light Tower! After saying that, He Weiwei squeezed into the crowd by herself.
He Weiwei's little girl hosta glanced at Liu Yao, called twice and squeezed He Niangzi over.
Liu Yao's children came out to see the lanterns, of course Second Master Liu was not at ease, although his face was not good-looking, Second Master Liu still came with a large group of girls and little girls. However, I just saw that the newly appointed county magistrate was pulled over to speak, and asked a few small ones not to run around and wait for him obediently.
Liu Yao watched He Weiwei disappear soon, frowned and squeezed over with others.
"He Niangzi! He lady! ”
Several strong mothers-in-law beside him shouted loudly to He Weiwei, and He Weiwei saw a group of people snorting and then squeezed in the direction of the light tower.
The lantern tower is a large lantern of various shapes made of various colored lanterns, and this lantern festival is also a few rich families, so many people are coming to these lantern towers. There are also the most people here.
Liu Yao pulled Du Xiaoxi and walked forward to the end of the escort by the girl, and when he saw the crowding, he retreated, and said to the mother-in-law beside him: "Mother Wang, you take a few people to find Mrs. He." We'll wait for you in front of the restaurant we just had. ”
"Hey! Young master, don't worry, I'll take someone there. After saying that, a man and a woman followed her.
Liu Yao pulled Du Xiaoxi to walk back, Du Xiaoxi was short, not to mention that there were people around him and couldn't see anything, but so many people were so stuffy that they wanted to leave early. Seeing that Liu Yao didn't go forward, he hurriedly followed out obediently.
Not far from the big boat flower downstairs.
"Why are you like this, you don't see a child! Lift your foot and step on it! The two men looked at the woman in front of them who had stepped on her child.
The woman swept her eyes at the crying child holding her feet, and snorted, "Who can see it when it looks so short, I said you two don't stand in my way, I still have to see the flower building!" ”
The woman's attitude obviously changed the two of them, and the child's uncle raised his foot and stomped on the woman's foot, and the woman screamed out in pain.
The two men were relieved and walked next to the child king.
When the woman saw that the child who was still crying just now smiled at her happily, she ran over angrily and pushed the person who was holding the child, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
The person holding the child staggered for a moment, but finally stabilized his figure. The lantern in the hand of the boy he was holding was thrown away.
Throwing it out, the crocodile lantern landed on the light tower not far away.
Suddenly a lantern fell from the sky, directly smashing the lamp tower on the ship, the scorching wick licked the colored paper, the spark of the stars, enough to set the prairie on fire.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
There was a big spark from the ship, and the frightened people around them ran away with their heads in their hands.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
Those who heard the shouting ran out of the crowd one after another, for fear that they would be burned if they ran slowly.
The crowd made it more difficult to walk a single step, and the screams of adults. The child's cry made the people who were blocked inside even more frightened, and they all used their strength to squeeze to the place where they thought it was safe.
Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi were originally walking out, but a group of people suddenly ran behind them, and quickly separated the two from a group of girls.
The two of them must not be as short as those adults, so they should find a place to hide. Don't be trampled into a pulp, Liu Yao thought and took Du Xiaoxi to a place with few people.
"Let's hurry up and find Daddy." Liu Yao half-bent to escort Du Xiaoxi to the agreed restaurant, afraid that Du Xiaoxi would be frightened and asked, "Sister Xi, don't be afraid, I'll be here soon." ”
The two of them didn't notice that they didn't know when there was a circle of strong men of similar size.
"Action!"
Taking advantage of Liu Yao's efforts to bow his head and coax Du Xiaoxi, the people behind them slammed Liu Yao's back of the neck with a palm, and Liu Yao fainted directly.
Du Xiaoxi looked up and was covered by a big palm.
"Woo...... Woo woo...... "Feeling a powdery particle being sucked into his mouth, Du Xiaoxi thought of the magic and medicine on TV, struggled twice, and closed his eyes.
"Take it away!"
Got it. The two strong men left with one in their arms.
Sure to return to the crowd again, Du Xiaoxi opened a slit in his eyes and secretly looked around, and saw that they were walking along the edge of the crowd, and the man holding Liu Yao was walking not far in front of them.
"What should I do?" Du Xiaoxi lay on the strong man's shoulder and didn't dare to move, for fear that he would notice that he was waking up.
Shouting for help? Now they are all busy running for their lives, who will pay attention to them. What if I shouted that another person ran away with Liu Yao?
Du Xiaoxi thought about it and didn't know what to do, when he suddenly heard a familiar complaint.
"Hosta, why hasn't Brother Xiaotu come yet? It must be Du Zhixi's little slut pestering Xiaotu's brother to not let him come! ”
Du Xiaoxi opened his eyes violently, maybe Du Xiaoxi's gaze was too strong, He Weiwei subconsciously looked over, and saw that Du Xiaoxi was being held by a stranger and didn't know what to think, so she lowered her head and pulled the hosta with her back to Du Xiaoxi and walked away.
Du Xiaoxi exploded! What a man!
Now that she is shouting, will this trafficker arrest He Weiwei as well?
Du Xiaoxi didn't dare to shout, she was afraid that the man holding her would find her awake, and she was afraid that she would not be able to save herself but would be torn up.
Du Xiaoxi is not stupid, when he was struggling with his mouth covered just now, he saw that the people around them were all tall and big men, and ordinary human traffickers usually started with women and the elderly in order to keep children from crying or making trouble, this kind of unified strong man is definitely not an ordinary person, Du Xiaoxi does not dare to bet. Now I just hope that these people are interested in the Liu family's money, as long as the father-in-law can redeem them in the future.
Du Xiaoxi was carried by someone in a cranky way, and quickly walked to the edge of the crowd, and soon turned into a small alley and was stuffed into a donkey cart, and the donkey cart drove and didn't know where to go.
Du Xiaoxi secretly opened his eyes and saw seven or eight children lying in the carriage, and there was no only passage in the entire carriage, and there was only one passage in the whole carriage, so it could only be an exit separated from the traffickers, and Du Xiaoxi had no place to jump out of the car if he wanted to.
After a careful look, Du Xiaoxi found that most of the children here were boys, and there were only three girls plus her, all the children were wearing silk and satin, and they were not ordinary children.
The donkey cart clicked and walked in the quiet alley, and it took a long time to stop, Du Xiaoxi heard a group of men's answers, saying that there are a lot of goods today, and they did a good job!
Soon they moved on their backs, walked some distance, and then rudely threw them on the ground.
Du Xiaoxi didn't know where they were now, and she didn't dare to open her eyes and keep her eyes closed and didn't dare to move.
I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Du Xiaoxi's arm was paralyzed and unconscious, and a child's crying sounded, Du Xiaoxi slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes, pretending to have just woken up.
