Chapter 22: News
Seeing the third daughter shaking her head, Chen only felt that her eyes were dark, and she fell backwards to the sky. Lichun got the news and rushed to see his mother who was paralyzed on the ground, so he immediately ran forward crying and hugged Chen.
There were passers-by in the village, and after hearing the reason, some comforted the Chen family, and some had already gone to Lizheng's house to report the news. After all, if a child in the village goes missing in the mountains, he must be notified.
Li Zheng Lin Shuxing and his mother-in-law Pan Shi were drinking wine and gossiping. Choked on the wine that almost fell into his lungs after a bad time outside the door, he lowered his face and asked Pan to go out and ask what was going on.
After a while, Pan Shi entered the house with a white face and said, "Master, what should I do about this?" The youngest daughter of the Lin family was lost in the mountains! ”
Lin Shuxing was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Which Lin family?" ”
Pan patted his thigh anxiously and said, "Isn't it just Xiaoman of the Ning family!" Why can't you remember? ”
"Is that her? How old is she? How did you go up the mountain? Nonsense, what is this Chen doing to eat? What to do with such a little doll going to the mountains? Lin Shuxing listened to Pan's words, and immediately lowered his face and scolded.
He got up, put his coat over his body, and walked out of the house. He said to the villagers who were still waiting outside the door: "Go, hurry up and ring the gong and let everyone gather." The villager answered.
For a moment, the sound of gongs and drums was beaten finely and densely. The villagers who heard the sound of gongs and drums trembled in their hearts, this is an urgent matter in the village, and it is used to summon everyone. The men of the village, who did not care about eating, all went to the place where they had gathered.
By the time Lin Shuxing arrived at the rice farm, everyone was already standing below and whispering. He coughed, cleared his throat, and said succinctly: "It is an important matter to gather everyone now, the youngest daughter of the Lin Youning family, Xiaoman, was lost on the mountain, and the men over fifteen and under fifty in the village stayed. The people who stayed behind were divided into several teams, and then they went up the mountain to help find people, and the rest of the people dispersed and went home first! ”
As soon as everyone heard that a child had been lost, the buzz of the conversation suddenly became louder, and they discussed it one after another. Chen also asked Lichun and them to rush over at this time, and when they heard Li Zheng's words, they immediately knelt down.
"I'm kowtowing to everyone, our family is only three years old, and the illness is just right, and there is still a long way to go. Please help, be sure to find her. Chen said as he kowtowed, and after a while, his forehead was red and swollen.
Some soft-hearted men have long had red eyes. Li Zheng Lin Shuxing sighed secretly, he originally blamed Chen's words, but he swallowed it, after all, it is important to find a child now.
Lin Shuxing glanced at Pan who was following him, and Pan stepped forward quickly and helped Chen up with the women of several families next to him. Pan persuaded him: "Xiaoman's mother, don't worry, now everyone will look for it together, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
A little woman with a black face next to her muttered, "It's almost down the mountain, and I don't know if there are any wild beasts." ”
When Chen heard this, tears suddenly flowed, she shouldn't let the children be alone at home. When Pan heard this, he glared at the little woman fiercely, and the little woman also covered her mouth, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and did not dare to speak again.
A slightly chubby woman next to her said disdainfully to the little woman: "The dog is left, can't you control your own mouth well?" Can't speak and can't pretend to be dumb? ”
The black-faced little woman was still full of embarrassment, but when she heard this, she immediately lowered her face. "Aunt Zhang, even if I say the wrong thing, then I will compensate Sister Chen, which onion and garlic do you count?"
When Pan Shi saw that they were arguing, he suddenly became angry and shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, give me an early return home if it's okay." Don't make trouble here. Let's go, Xiaoman, her mother, take the child to my house first and wait for news. After saying that, she didn't pay attention to the two women, and her daughters-in-law saw that her mother-in-law was gone, and followed closely behind, and most of the people were gone.
The men who stayed behind consciously divided into several teams, and then found pine oil cotton threads and tied them into torches. Although it is not dark yet, but just in case, go into the mountain, after a long time, if it gets dark, if there is a torch, if the Lin family Xiaoman is clever, he will always see the light.
"Mother, mother, something happened!" Lin Caiyun, her hair was a little messy because she was in a hurry.
Lin Huang's triangular eyes widened, threw the things in his hand on the table, stood up, and said in a throat: "Your mother is fine, what can happen?" Look at you, a big girl's family, let you embroider a dowry at home! Where did your ambition go? Do you want to be famous? A string of reproaches came out of his mouth.
Lin Caiyun was scolded by Lin Huang's family, and immediately stopped his steps, clasped his hands, and lowered his head. Looking at his daughter's head hanging down to his chest, Lin Huang was depressed for a while, thinking why did he give birth to such an unlucky daughter? Not to mention, I didn't even learn half of my embroidery skills.
Several daughters-in-law were blushing and wanted to learn her embroidery skills, but at the beginning, she thought that this skill would not be passed on to her daughters-in-law, so she refused to teach them many excuses. It's good now, let them watch the joke for nothing.
Lin Huang asked angrily, "What are you doing all this nonsense for?" "If it weren't for my own birth, I wouldn't have had so much patience to ask.
Lin Caiyun, who was scolded by Lin Huang's originally lowered head, heard this question, and immediately raised his head, his face flashed with panic and said, "Mother, something really happened!" The third sister-in-law's Xiaoman is gone! ”
"What?" Lin Huang looked up at Lin Caiyun.
"Oh, mother, I said that the third sister-in-law's Xiaoman is gone! I heard from the people in the village that they were going to the mountains, but they didn't know what to do. Then Lixia came back and said that Xiaoman was gone! Lin Caiyun said in circles. No, mother, you call your father and eldest brother, let's go and help find them, right? ”
Lin Huang heard Lin Caiyun's words clearly, and his originally surprised expression faded little by little. He sat down steadily, picked up the embroidery bandage that had just fallen on the table, skimmed his scalp with a needle, and began to embroider carefully.
"Mother? Why are you still sitting down? Lin Caiyun was dumbfounded and looked at the Lin Huang clan who was not moving.
Lin Huang didn't raise his eyelids, and said in his mouth: "You roll into the house for me, if you don't embroider the things I gave you last night, you will stay in the house for a month, and don't think about going anywhere." "Is this going to be grounded?
"Mother, what should the third sister-in-law do? Xiaoman is only three years old! Lin Caiyun didn't care that Lin Huang wanted to ban her, so she asked stubbornly.
"I'll go tell your dad about it, and besides, we'll be separated a long time ago. She can't manage her own children herself, what else can she let others do? Lin Huang said with a straight face.
