229 [Restless]
Mu Qingqiu suddenly turned around, Li Wenyuan was stunned and quickly avoided his gaze, pretending to be nothing, but if he looked closely, he would find that the roots of Li Wenyuan's ears were a little red.
Mu Qingqiu was amused in his heart, and he was an awkward teenager.
When he turned around, he looked stunned, turned around quickly, and looked over Li Wenyuan to see a couple in the crowd in the distance, the man was walking, the woman was holding a little boy in her hand, the boy was about four years old, the couple was followed by three or five servants, and one of the women was holding a finely dressed baby in her arms.
At this time, the little boy was pulling the woman, as if he had discovered something new, and happily asked his mother and father to watch it together.
Mu Qingqiu subconsciously looked down at her younger brother Mu Qingqiu, and then looked back at the boy held by the man, was she dazzled? actually regarded that boy as his younger brother Mu Qingxuan!
Really, Mu Qingqiu shook his head secretly, his younger brother was obviously by his side, and it was not strange that people looked alike.
After walking a few steps, the feeling of panic in his heart still existed, and Mu Qingqiu couldn't help but look back again, there was no trace of that family in the crowd.
Just now, his eyes just stopped on the little boy's face for a moment, and then all he saw was the back, was she really dazzled? Or do you meet someone who looks similar to Mu Qingxuan?
This night, until he returned to the (delicious) pastry shop, until he slept peacefully, Mu Qingqiu always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he was missing something, he felt a little sad in his heart, and even couldn't help crying.
This night, Mu Qingqiu slept very unsteadily, had a lot of dreams in a mess, and when he woke up, he was tired and had no impression of the scene in the dream.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, when there was no lantern society, Mu Qingqiu prepared to return to Guyang Town, and before leaving, he went to Li's house, Li Zhengli called his sons together and asked about Mu Qingxia's news.
The others shook their heads, but Li Zhengli's second son, Li Shengqian, asked some.
Li Shengqian found out that the trafficker who bought Mu Qingxia was surnamed He, and he was the eldest in the family, and everyone called him Boss He.
Boss He was very famous in Wolong County in the early years, but for some reason, he suddenly gave the matter at hand to his peers the year before last and moved his family away. Li Shengqian followed this clue and asked someone to inquire, and after several rounds, the result of the inquiry was that after He Boss returned to his hometown, he died in just a few months.
From this point of view, Boss He knew that his life was short, and he was afraid that he would continue to stay near Wolong County, and when he died, his family would not have a good ending, so he gave up a lot and moved his family.
No one in the old He family was involved in human trafficking, and they didn't know anything about buying and selling Mu Qingxia a few years ago.
Those who followed Boss He at the beginning may have known the situation back then, Mu Qingqiu was about to ask, but he heard Li Shengqian say helplessly: "I heard that Boss He is very cautious, and the 'goods' that he has handled never make records. ”
At this point, the line is also broken.
Such a result is really disappointing, Li Zhengli saw Mu Qingqiu's gloomy expression, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "There is always a way, don't be too anxious." ”
Mu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, nodded, and thanked him.
Li Zhengli stayed in Wolong County temporarily, and when Mu Qingqiu's sister and brother came, they were with the Li family, and when they went back, they were still with Su Xiaowen Dazhu and others.

Time has quietly entered February, and these days, Mu Qingqiu is always a little uneasy.
Thinking about it, it seems that since I came back from Wolong County, the feeling of sullenness and lack of breath in my heart has always existed.
The problem is in Wolong County, so go to Wolong County to have a look.
Thinking about it like this, Mu Qingqiu was a little impatient, as if there was something important waiting for her in Wolong County, as long as she went, she would be able to sweep away the depression in her chest for many days.
Entrusting Mu Qingxuan and Qin Yue in Shantang, Mu Qingqiu was accompanied by a free coachman to Wolong County.
I got up early, didn't stop all the way, and when I entered the county seat, there was still half an hour before lunch.
Mu Qingqiu didn't go to the (delicious) pastry shop, nor did he go to the house he bought some time ago, and only let the coachman drive the carriage slowly around the street.
The streets and alleys went straight for an hour, and the stuffiness in my chest did not decrease but increased.
Is it a panic of hunger? Mu Qingqiu asked the driver to stop, and after that, he had a simple bite to eat at a food stall with the driver, and then continued to wander the streets and alleys.
Unconsciously wandered around for an afternoon, until night fell, Mu Qingqiu sighed, looked up at the dark night sky and countless stars whose brilliance was darkened by the lights, and felt that he had been a little nervous recently, and he had to calm down.
Suddenly came to the (delicious) pastry shop, which surprised Ma Yunchun, and after the surprise, it was the joy of the shop.
Seeing that everyone was happy, Mu Qingqiu couldn't laugh.
What the hell is wrong with you? Why have I been restless lately? I thought that I would be relieved when I arrived in Wolong County, but when I arrived in Wolong County, I turned around for most of the day, and the depression in my chest still existed, not only existing, but even heavier than before I came.
Mu Qingqiu, who was provoked by this heavy energy, couldn't sleep, and after dinner, he didn't want Ma Yunchun and others to follow, and went to the street alone.
walked straight to the street and there were few pedestrians, and then walked back with an empty heart.
stayed in the (delicious) pastry shop until closing, Ma Yunchun locked the door and closed the door, Mu Qingqiu also went back to the house, but he just lay down and kept his head in his heart, he couldn't sleep, helplessly, Mu Qingqiu got up and went out, sitting in the courtyard in a daze at the dark night.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a faint 'woo-......' sound, as if someone was crying.
Originally, there was a cry in the middle of the night, and when I heard it, I should be frightened. But after Mu Qingqiu heard the cry, he was shocked, and subconsciously went out quickly, looking for the sound and groping away.
Walking around the back street of the (delicious) pastry shop, the sound gradually became clearer.
In addition to crying, the voice was also mixed with a short call for 'mother, daddy ......' and the like, crying so much that it was not sad.
Mu Qingqiu frowned when she heard this, which reminded her of the scene when she was arrested by traffickers, and the children who were arrested with her at that time were also like this, the screams of her father and mother were the same.
Are there traffickers?
Thinking of this, Mu Qingqiu chuckled in his heart, and his brows furrowed deeply.
The sound came from a house on the back street, and Mu Qingqiu wandered around the door for a while, trying to find something to climb into the courtyard to take a look.
At this moment, I heard someone inside speak: "What are you crying about?" Eat less for you or wear less for you? It's your life to follow Lao Tzu, and you still think that you can't be the eldest son of someone's family? Give me some peace as soon as possible. ”
"If you don't say a word, you will scare the child." It was obviously a woman who persuaded her.
After a brief conversation, the child's crying soon died down.
Mu Qingqiu was stunned outside the courtyard wall for a long time, shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, and turned to leave.
People's fathers and mothers teach and control children, it's a normal thing, what's the matter if she sneaks in?
As everyone knows, in the room within the courtyard wall at this moment, a child is shrinking in the corner of the kang, looking at the fierce man in the room with tears on his face, and on the kang beside him, there are more than a dozen children, and those children are sleeping.
