CHAPTER XXIII

"A-Niang, A-Niang, we're back!" When Xu A-Niang was looking down and pondering, a familiar voice from outside made her suddenly come back to her senses.

Looking up, the little girl didn't know when she had run out of the girl, it was rare to see her so anxious for so long, Xu A-Niang sighed secretly and raised her legs to follow, she knew in her heart that just let the two bastards go out to inquire and definitely couldn't find anything, it was nothing more than to let the little girl feel at ease, but what to do after the girl stayed at home still had to be considered.

When Xu A-Niang walked out of the kitchen, the little girl had already run to Cheng Zhi Cheng'an's side, looking at Cheng Zhi Cheng'an with anticipation and excitement, and even looked behind Cheng Zhi Cheng'an, as if looking forward to her father and mother appearing here now.

Cheng Zhi looked at the girl who was clutching his sleeve tightly and felt a little unbearable, and suddenly didn't want to tell Xiao Nan the news they had heard, but Cheng An was still the same as before at this time, as if the news they heard did not affect him at all.

He took off the package he had been carrying since he separated from Uncle Hu from his shoulder, and said to Xiao Nannan with a smile, "Little cousin, come and see what my eldest brother and I bought for you!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Xiao Nannan, as if he wanted to show Xiao Nannan what they brought back here, but Xiao Nannan still insisted on holding Cheng Zhi Cheng'an's sleeve, watching him not let go, as if no matter what Cheng'an's brother handed him, he couldn't attract her attention.

Cheng An couldn't help but feel a burst of frustration when he looked at Xiao Nan Nan like this, of course he knew what Xiao Nan Nan wanted to hear the most now, but how should he say this matter?

Cheng An had no choice but to look at his eldest brother helplessly, hoping that he could coax this little sister well.

Cheng Zhi pursed his lips tightly, and also looked at Ah Niang who had just walked out of the kitchen for help, Cheng An saw this, and also looked at Ah Niang, they all knew that they should not be able to find any useful news when they went out this time, but Xiao Nan obviously didn't think so.

Xu A-Niang already knew the results of their trip to the market this time when she looked at the appearance of her two sons, and looked at the little girl who was looking forward to seeing her father and mother as soon as possible, and Xu A-Niang didn't know what to say for a while.

But seeing that the two children were still waiting for themselves to help them out of the siege, Xu A-Niang had no choice but to say with a forced smile, "Little Nannan, come, come here, let's talk about what is going on in the house, Chengzhi Cheng'an has just come back, let them go into the house to drink saliva first." ”

Xiao Nannan looked at Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an, who were slightly tired, and then looked at Xu A-Niang, who was looking at her gently, and pursed her lips gently, although she was reluctant, but finally let go of Xu Chengzhi's sleeves, Xu A-Niang was right, they should be allowed to go into the house to rest first.

Xiao Nannan also followed Cheng Zhi Cheng'an into the house, looking at the two brothers with blank eyes, hoping that they could give themselves a letter, and it was best to let themselves know how their father and mother were doing? Did you hear from them? Are parents dead or alive now?

Cheng Zhi Cheng An has never wished that the moment of drinking water could be longer than at this moment, but no matter how slow their movements were, there was a time to finish drinking, Cheng An touched his belly that was covered by water and burped, feeling that he probably didn't have to eat dinner tonight.

He didn't dare to look at Xiao Nannan's expectant eyes at all, for fear that he couldn't help but say it, which would make Xiao Nannan's expectations turn into disappointment.

Chengzhi is also under a lot of pressure now, and the people in the room are now looking at him, and he can't ignore it if he wants to. Cheng Zhi squeezed the water cup in his hand tightly, put it down slowly after half a sound, looked at A-Niang and Cheng An, and finally turned his attention to Xiao Nannan.

She hadn't said a word since she entered the house, but the anxiety and worry in her heart could be felt by the three members of the Xu family, and her eyes never took her eyes off him from beginning to end, but the hands that let go of her sleeves unconsciously grabbed her own sleeves.

With such a child, how could Cheng Zhi bear to tell her the news that he and Cheng An had inquired about? He sighed helplessly, and finally said slowly, "The current Yongzhou Taishou is not surnamed Wen!" ”

This is something that Xu A-Niang thought of before, and it is not surprising, after all, Xiao Nannan once said that her father took her and her mother to Beijing to report on the way to Beijing and encountered robbers, so that the family was forced to separate.

At that time, when Xu A-Niang first heard about this, she thought that according to the rules, Xiao Nannan's father should have stayed in Beijing in the future, and it is unknown what his position is.

Xiao Nannan endured the tears that were about to flow, and quietly shook the small fist that had already begun to tremble, waiting for Chengzhi to continue talking.

"I heard that the last Yongzhou Taishou Wen Mingjun Wen and his wife and daughter encountered robbers on the way back to Beijing to report on their work, causing the carriage to accidentally fall off the cliff, and the family of three all fell to their deaths."

"No...... the little girl whispered when she heard this, "No, I'm not okay, am I?" ”

She was a little flustered, her little head didn't seem to be able to think anymore, and now her whole heart was a mess, did Brother Chengzhi mean that her father's carriage was finally chased by those gangsters and fell to the bottom of the cliff?

In that case, what about Daddy? What about mothers? At that time, she and her mother had clearly left the carriage? How can it be said that a family of three has already ......

Xu A-Niang looked at Xiao Nannan's slightly trembling shoulders, took the child in her arms and coaxed her gently, looked at Cheng Zhi Cheng An frowned and asked, "What about the corpse?" Did you inquire about it when you inquired? ”

Cheng Zhi shook his head slightly, his voice was slightly deep, "I heard that the carriage has been burned, as for the corpse, they guess it should have been ......"

"Nonsense!" Xu A-Niang reprimanded sharply, since Xiao Nan Nan is now in her own home, these things naturally cannot be true, and I heard Xiao Nan Nan say that her mother left the carriage with her at that time, what about her mother? Where exactly did it go?

Cheng Zhi naturally knew that the news he brought back was not credible, but the fact that the carriage was burned and even found a few corpses inside should be reliable news, but Cheng Zhi couldn't say this sentence again anyway.

There is still hope if there is no news, maybe they will be able to inquire again when they leave Xujia Village in the future, if they really say it and make this child lose hope, Chengzhi doesn't know how to make her not so sad.
