Chapter Forty-Six: Searching for Her and Seeking Her
The thunder was steady and powerful, and the sound of rain was in the quiet of the village, through the sea of people, through the backbone of the house, through the world, through the air, falling into the dirt, and rushing wantonly.
The wind blew the rain into the room where the window was not opened in a hurry, Miao Di stood in front of the window, the makeup on her face had been washed off, the clothes on her body were simple and plain, she raised her hand, stroked the hair on her forehead, and the gray hair on the sideburns, her lips were not rouge, she looked pale and her face was bloodless.
When she heard Li Zheng's words, there was no wave in her heart.
The raindrops slapped against her cold and thin face from the window, and she closed her eyes that were sunken in her sockets, and unconsciously shouted "Jin Jin".
Gold gold, gold gold.
My mother had to give up looking for you, my mother wanted to save people, maybe, if you save people, there will be good retribution, and your mother will be able to see you.
Jin Jin, you must come back before your mother dies!
The heavy rain has been going on for an hour and a half, as if someone has pierced a big hole in the sky, and the rain from all over the world will fall to the pumpkin village.
Some are ruthless, and some are sad.
Shin Shin never came home.
Xinxinniang went out to look for it before the rain, she wanted to call Shangyujiao and her younger brother to look for it, but their husband and wife excused themselves and said that they would wait until the weather was clear, Xinxinniang could only go out by herself, just in case, she wore a scrooked coat, the hat belt on her head was crooked, and the rain stayed along the edge, she wiped her face, a gust of wind lifted her hat to the ground, she bent over, and a thin hand on the opposite side picked up the hat, she raised her head, her face was full of surprise: "Miao Di?!"
Miao Di put her hat on her head and turned to leave.
Xinxinniang looked at her back and hesitated, "Miao Di, can you help me find Xinxin, she has been out for more than two hours and hasn't come back." ”
Miao Di didn't look back, her voice was colder than the rain: "Help you find the child? Just because I'm a 'fool', I'm obliged to do anything for you?"
Xinxin Niang said something first, but found that she was speechless.
Miao Di turned around suddenly, she was not wearing a coat or a hat, the rain was dripping down her face, she looked at Xinxin Niang like a ghost: "You say, how big a mind am I to be able to help you unconditionally after being abused for five years?"
Xinxinniang said: "Whatever conditions you want, I can meet you." ”
"I want children, I want justice, I want the dignity I have lost in these years, can you give it to me?"
Searching for her child, she didn't know how many places she had traveled, and the cause of Pan Da's death was still unclear, she sued the court, but except for the court official who wanted to marry her and could not imprison her, no one paid attention to her, and she was deeply desperate, and her patience and perseverance had been exhausted in five years.
"The child is innocent. If Shin Shin encounters danger, I won't be able to survive. Your child has not been found, but there is no bad news, there is still hope, you help me find Xinxin, I will help you find Jinjin, and I will mobilize the whole village to help you. Okay?"
Seeing Miao Di's calm face, Xinxinniang cried and knelt down, "I beg you, if I can't find Xinxin, I'll be crazy, Miao Di, you are also a mother, you should understand my pain!"
Miao Di sneered.
She's gone crazy.
Who can understand her pain?
Miao Di turned around, and her indifferent voice came from the sound of rain and Xinxinniang's crying: "You go home and wait, I'll look for it." If you don't listen, I guarantee you won't see Shin Shin for the rest of your life. ”
Legend has it that Miao Di is not simple, and no one knows where she came from or what her identity is.
Xinxinniang cried and thanked her and walked in the direction of her home.
The county magistrate covered his forehead, his hands felt cold and cold, his face was sweating a lot, and his heart was beating like before.
The bones were all ashes, the words on the finger bones were gone, and he was careless, and he forgot which three were the villagers of Pumpkin Village.
clues, and another one is lost.
The prefectural order ordered that the doors and windows must be closed, but the other corpses must be ventilated by opening the windows to prevent decomposition, and the prefectural order could only hope that the wind would not blow until the lord returned.
Youyou saw that the rain outside was a little lighter, and ran out wearing a pair of straw sandals with only three belts, he had been to Lizheng's house with his mother before, and his grandfather had left him to eat.
In the blink of an eye, I haven't been there for several years, I don't know, the new Uncle Lizheng, how is the person, is it fierce or not.
The door of Lizheng's house was not closed, he walked in with his head down, and when he heard the sound of the big black dog purring, he stopped, raised his head, and retreated in fear, but he knew that he was coming, so he couldn't go.
The child and the big black dog looked at each other, but neither of them moved.
The light rain was dripping, and the leisurely bangs were pouring on the ground.
The big black dog raised his eyes to see a lightning bolt in the sky, looked at Youyou, and retracted into the kennel.
Youyou was bold, stepped forward, walked into the house, saw him in the room, was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "You are Youyou, right? Why did you come by yourself, where is your Aunt Miao?"
Youyou cried: "Aunt Miao is gone, I slept for a while, and she was gone." Uncle Lizheng, Yoyo has no relatives, and I can't live without Aunt Miao anymore, please help me find her. ”
Shi Moyu walked over and squatted down: "Sister will help you find Aunt Miao, don't worry." ”
Yoyo didn't believe it.
Duan Luo said: "She will definitely help you find it." She's a fairy. ”
Yoyo couldn't believe it.
My sister is very good-looking, very much like a fairy, but, when did a fairy ever come to Pumpkin Village?
Shi Moyu stretched out her hand and wiped it on his shoulder, Youyou immediately changed her clothes, she reached out again, conjured a hat, put it on Youyou's head, looked at Youyou's surprised eyes, and asked him, "Do you believe it?"
"Yes. Yoyo nodded vigorously.
"Obedient, you will wait at Uncle Lizheng's house, and my sister will help you find Aunt Miao. ”
Yoyo refused: "I'll go too." ”
"Well, Yoyo, it's raining too much outside, Aunt Miao definitely doesn't want you to be in danger, Miao Di loves you very much, doesn't she?"
"Hmm. Aunt Miao was very good to me. ”
"That's it, so, you obediently, don't let her worry. She may just be lost, and her sister will just get her back. Shi Mo said to him gently.
Yoyo nodded.
Duan Luo said: "I'll go with you, and the two of you will find it quickly." ”
Yoyo looked at his white hair, but he looked quite young, he didn't know what to call it for a while, and it took a long time to timidly step forward and grab his clothes, Duan Luo turned his head and asked him what he was doing with his eyes, and Yoyo let go of his hand in fear: "You...... You have to protect your sister. ”
Duan Luo curled his lips: "Yes." Feel relieved. Then he touched Youyou's head with his hand very rarely, and walked out with Shi Moyu.
There was no thunder, only the occasional lightning, the sky was not cloudy, but like a white cloth, and the rain seemed to be draining from the white cloth, and the wind stopped, and the rain line was straight.
Duan Luo and Shi Moyu both put on waterproof hooded cloaks, couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and still walked forward with their hands.
"Uncle, I heard from you, Fang Fang is sick, how is he now?"
Li Zheng said: "Go and see him, he woke up just now, you have a few words with him." Maybe I'll wake up. ”
Youyou ran to Fang Fang's room, gently pushed the door open, approached Fang Fang, Fang Fang's pale face made him jump suddenly, hesitated, and walked over.
"Fang Fang, I'm Yoyo, we haven't played together for a long time, you get better quickly and play with me. ”
Fang Fang's eyelashes moved. There are small teardrops on it.
Xinxinniang squeezed her hands in the room, walking around uneasily, she wanted to go out but didn't dare.
Panicking more and more, she burned three incense sticks, came to the tablet of Shin Shin Daddy, pinched the incense and prayed silently in her heart, Shin Shin Dad in the spirit of heaven can bless Shin Shin with all beards and tails.
Xinxin was found by Miao Di by the small river in the village, Miao Di pressed Xinxin's stomach hard, Xinxin's upper body rose and fell, and a lot of sewage was spit out of her mouth, with her small mouth open, and her breathing was very weak.
She felt that she must have met the gods and saved her when she was most helpless.
She led a few "subordinates" to catch fish in the river, the upstream water was very shallow, and she came back safely several times, and brought back a few big fish, she was afraid of her mother's scolding, and she didn't say that the fish came like this.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained, and several "subordinates" went home one after another, and persuaded her to let her go too, she held her head high, pointed at herself with her thumb, and said that she was not afraid of anything, and she also thought that Sister Xinxin was very capable, she was also tall, and she would be fine, so she also left.
Only Shin Shin herself remains.
The rain hadn't started to fall yet, but there was a muffled thunder every once in a while.
Xinxin wanted to catch another fish and go home, so she put the fish in her hand into the basket, and the fish fluttered.
Xinxin re-entered the water, the raindrops of beans suddenly crackled on her, Xinxin hurriedly took back her feet, pulled her legs and ran, ran a few meters, remembered the fish, went back to get it, but did not expect her feet to slip, face down into the river.
She reacted quickly, remembering that she would hold her breath and fall into the river, her eyes closed, her breath shut, her cheeks puffed out, and she gurgled and spat out a series of bubbles like a fish.
But she was only a ten-year-old child, and she only held it for half a quarter of an hour, but luckily the river washed her downstream, and she opened her eyes and looked around, and then lost consciousness.
When she woke up, someone was squeezing her stomach and spitting out the water in her stomach to make her feel less uncomfortable, but her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't see the appearance of the person who saved her.
"Sister Miao!" Shi Mo Yu shouted.
Finally found Miao Di, Shi Moyu came over happily, saw Xinxin on the ground, and quieted down.
The words "Sister Miao" came into Xinxin's ears, Xinxin opened her eyes with great difficulty, pushed Miao Di away, struggled to stand up, staggered, Miao Di was pushed by her and almost planted in the river, Shi Moyu grabbed her in time and said to Xinxin: "Xinxin! Do you know that she saved you!"
Xinxin turned her head and stepped back step by step, "I don't want her, I don't want her to save me, how can she save me, I don't like her, I insulted her, and I was at the door of her house with other children, eating her fried pumpkin seeds, and saying that she was ...... She can't save me!"
She was still one step away from hitting the stone, Duan Luo picked her up with only one hand, made her look at Miao Di, and said angrily, "Do you know what to say to her?"
