Chapter 974: A Moment of Urgency
The people were panicked, although Gao Zhuang could stagger in the courtyard, it was impossible for him to open the courtyard gate and run out by himself. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Yuru asked the nurse, "How much effort is there?" ”
The nurse can't say it for a while, it seems that the time will not be short. When Cui Yan heard this, she had already run outside the courtyard, stood on the street and looked back and forth, there was no trace of her son in the street, and when she came in again, she saw cold sweat on her forehead.
Siqing said, "We just came from the old village, and there are many eyes and ears in the pasture, it is unlikely that someone will carry him to the old village, you still go to a few people to look for it, and Fan Ying and I will ride a horse to the outside of the new village to look for it." ”
So they went their separate ways, Liu Yuru and Xie Jinlian accompanied Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Gao Min to listen to the news at home, Cui Yan, Wanqing, and Lirong took a car to the old village to inquire, and Fan Ying and Siqing rode in opposite directions to find them.
The two asked Mr. Teacher at the Xincun School, and Mr. said that there seemed to be a man with an eye who led a donkey and carried two baskets to the west, but he didn't know what was bulging in the basket.
Further west, the man at the butcher's shop at the head of the village had also seen this person, and it was not short of time. Fan Ying Siqing rode to the outside of the village, and her eyes only paid attention to whether there was such a person on the road.
There are not many forks in the road, you can look out far at a glance, and there are no pedestrians on the road, only the best hidden in Jiaohe County, where people are mixed and bustling. I'm afraid that after a long time, he will hide in the crowd and there will be nowhere to be found.
They hoped it was a false alarm, and when they returned with nothing, they were told that Gao Zhuang had just been taken to play in his home by a neighbor. It's just that no one has ever carried a child away without a squeak in the past.
Neither of them dared to imagine what would happen to Jun after he woke up and learned the news. Then this stranger with a donkey, they have to find it anyway.
At noon, in a small tavern on the street side of Jiaohe County, there were several county officials who were drinking with an official of Jiupin.
As soon as they raised their wine glasses, a woman in her fifties stood at the door, and she threw her donkey outside the door with one foot in the door, and pleaded with them, "A few adults, the women of the people have reported that someone has stolen the second son of the Gaodu Governor of Xizhou!" ”
The official scolded her and said, "Alarmist, who dares to be so bold and steal children to the tall people's house, don't disturb our interest unreasonably!" This official won't listen to your nonsense! ”
There was a servant next to him who shouted, "Are you slandering Jiaohe County, is someone breaking the law in broad daylight?" ”
The old woman hurriedly said, "I used to be the mother-in-law of Gao Dudu's house, and on the way, I clearly heard the movement of the second son in the basket carried by the donkey's back!" I've followed you here from the middle of the road, but you're going to be negligent, you've lost your child, and you're not afraid that the tall adults will ask you for your sin?! ”
The official's eyes narrowed, "You can't tell a perfect lie, but you came to scare me." How did the son of a tall family run to Jiaohe and be chased so far by a mother-in-law, it's really a joke. ”
"Lord Chen, let's ignore it, drink!" A servant advised.
The mother-in-law was a little anxious, she didn't dare to go to the Jiaohe County Ya to report to the official, because at the moment that person was sitting on the roadside stall eating, in case the kung fu person she left walked away, she would no longer be able to look at him.
She ran to report the news full of hope, but at this time she was extremely disappointed, and blurted out, "Muddy things, how old is the son of the tall man, could it be that he came by himself?" If you lose someone, your mother-in-law won't tell you that this chief official is deliberate! ”
The two officials were suspicious and got up to the door to take a look, but the official surnamed Chen shouted, "Catch her, and after we have eaten, take her to the county government to torture!" ”
The mother-in-law turned around and ran away.
The street man had already wiped his mouth and stood up from the food stall, but he was surprised to see a woman tying the reins of her donkey to his basket, and he asked, "What are you doing?!" ”
The mother-in-law ignored it, and when she went up, she lifted the quilt in the basket, and Gao Zhuang, who had been tied and gagged, was lying inside. She pulled off the Seb from the child's mouth and reached out to hug it, but was stopped by the man, raised his hand and gave her a slap, "You're tired of living!" ”
The mother-in-law had gold stars in her eyes, but she picked up the edge of the basket with both hands and shouted at the pedestrians on the street, "There are thieves!" ”
The man wanted to throw off the mother-in-law and beat the donkey and walk away, but another donkey was tied to the basket, and the child's loud cry came out of the basket, and the mother-in-law also screamed.
Pedestrians came up in twos and threes, and the man covered a basket and went to beat his mother-in-law, and said to everyone, "This is my mother, who has always been a little crazy!" Who would tie a donkey like this! ”
Someone said righteously, you two go to see the official together, so that you can be careful!
The man was afraid, scolded and pushed down the mother-in-law, stretched out his hand to untie the basket and threw it to the ground, and said, "It's okay, anyway, it's your grandson, I'll throw it back to you, and I won't care about him from now on!" ”
After that, he jumped on the donkey and left, and the mother-in-law stopped pestering him, and busily carried the tall man out of the basket. Two or three men came forward to stop the donkey rider, but he picked up the donkey, ran away from a few people, and the street was noisy.
At the door of the tavern, a servant looked at the noisy street and said, "My lord, if you are really suspicious, do you want to ask?" ”
The official snorted, "I saw her crazy earlier, it turned out to be a family, we don't care what he does, drink." ”
But he suddenly saw that there were two women riding horses to catch up, one was Siqing, the fourth lady of the governor of Xizhou, who stepped forward to help the mother-in-law on the ground, and the other blocked the man riding the donkey, and it was the third lady Fan Ying who lifted him off the donkey in the blink of an eye.
He hurriedly said to the others, "I suddenly have an urgent matter to rush back to the Shaya City mine, don't tell people that I have been here, it is not good to leave a name for leaving my post without permission, you should also disperse quickly." ”
Before they left, the officer turned around and looked down the street, where the man leading the donkey had been subdued, and the baby boy in the mother-in-law's arms had stopped crying.
Seeing Fan Ying and Siqing coming back, people breathed a long sigh of relief.
After hearing what happened, people were puzzled, Cui Yan asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, how did you catch up with him, did you follow him all the way from Xincun to Jiaohe?" ”
Fan Ying also said, "If it weren't for my mother pestering him for a while, we wouldn't be able to catch up!" ”
The mother-in-law said that she was originally going to Jiajia Village, but seeing this person sneaky made people suspicious, and her ears always felt that it was the movement of the second son in the basket.
She wasn't sure that she was the only one on the road, and she didn't dare to look hard, so she had to follow this person and dare to act in a crowded place. ”
Siqing praised, "Mom is really old-fashioned, when we arrived, if it weren't for the two donkeys being tied together, maybe he would have slipped away." ”
Liu Yuru said, "Thanks to my mother's ear spirit, I can hear that Zhuang Zhuang is inside through the basket on the road." ”
The mother-in-law said, "I used to be in the kitchen, and the oil in the pot was crying and screaming, and the ears could tell the difference between the children crying in the house!" ”
The man was pointed out by Fan Ying and let the donkey carry it back, and he was thrown on the ground at this time. The mother-in-law went up and kicked him twice, "but he slapped me twice in public, and my ears were no longer good!" ”
Cui Yan hugged her son and said to Fan Ying, "Good sister, just nod your head and let your mother's family move back!" ”
Fan Ying said, let's move, my legs are growing on other people's bodies, how can I stop it?
The mother-in-law didn't care about Fan Ying's tone, and when people asked what the mother-in-law was doing in Jiajia Village, the mother-in-law said, "I heard that the hired man who was drying the grass inadvertently said the news of the 'fake stick'. I've been looking for this person for years, and I don't know if it's the same. At the beginning, we chased from Xiangzhou to Zhongnan Mountain and lost it, and then we searched all over the world. ”
