In the past half a month of getting along, the more I look at this child, the more I like it.

Well-behaved, smart, obviously only a little more than five months of villain, but with him, there is an indescribable feeling of pleasure.

The heartfelt words that I haven't said to others for many years have been told to this little thing.

Eat and sleep together, just like loved ones.

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with a soft light, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was warm.

Suddenly, there was a strange fluctuation in the shadows behind him.

The middle-aged man looked sideways slightly, and asked in a deep voice as a ghostly black shadow flashed from the darkness behind him, "What's the matter?" ”

The black shadow was a man in a cloak, unable to see his face, and his body seemed to merge with the darkness.

The pair of eyes that were exposed outside were strangely cold and sharp.

"Master, this is news from the south, please take a look!"

The middle-aged man took a note handed by the shadow man, spread it out, glanced at it, and crumpled the note into pieces in the palm of his hand.

Then there was a brief silence in the room.

After a moment, the middle-aged man spoke.

"Leave now and head south!" He said.

"Master, this kid ......"

"Take it!"

……

When the morning sun appeared in the east, it was dawn.

In front of the line of sight, in the middle of the blue peaks, halfway up the waist, there are faintly revealing roofs.

The sound of a rooster crowing came ethereally.

The barking of dogs, sometimes far and sometimes near.

"This village is really hard to find!" Yang Ruoqing wiped the hot sweat on her face and said excitedly.

After this night's rush, neither of them looked like humans.

However, I didn't feel tired at all.

"Tang Yanzi, let's go faster, Chen'er is in the village in front!"

Yang Ruoqing said excitedly, the more she walked forward, the closer she got to the village, the more excited and apprehensive she became.

"Let's go, let's go!" Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Chasing the clouds, you just stay here and wait for us, and Tang Yanzi and I will go into the village to find Chen'er." ”

Chasing clouds into the village will definitely cause panic among the villagers, and it is not good for chasing clouds.

Chaiyun understood Yang Ruoqing's words, and quickly lay down on the ground and made a resting appearance.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Luo Fengtang, and the two of them ran quickly towards the small village in front of them.

As soon as the two entered the village, they happened to be by a well at the entrance of the village, and met an old man carrying water.

The two of them hurriedly ran over and inquired about the old man.

The old man glanced at the dusty two people in front of him, "You mean, you are the father and mother of that child?" ”

Yang Ruoqing nodded again and again.

"Uncle, our child is more than five months old, boy, was stolen, and later I heard that he was picked up by a middle-aged uncle......"

The old man said: "The two people you mentioned, I know, they live in my house!" ”

"That kid, it's a pain in the face, he really looks like a young man like you, and the people in our village like to tease him!" Old man said.

When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Luo Fengtang beside her, and both of them were so happy that they almost jumped up.

"Uncle, please, take us to your house quickly!" Yang Ruoqing hurriedly said.

The smile on the old man's face froze, and he sighed: "It's really unfortunate that you guys came, last night, the two of them left!" ”

"Huh?"

Yang Ruoqing thought she had heard it wrong, and she almost fainted.

On the side, Luo Fengtang frowned, stepped forward and asked urgently, "Uncle, what do you mean?" Why did they leave all of a sudden? Where are you going? Please let us know! ”

The old man looked at the anxious look on the young couple in front of him, and he didn't go around in circles.

"I left in the middle of the night last night, and he had been living in my house before, so everyone in our village helped to inquire about who in the nearby village had lost their children."

"That kid, I boil rice soup for him every day, and it's cute."

"Originally, I planned to continue looking for it, and then he would leave when he found the child's parents."

"But in the middle of the night last night, he didn't know what to do, so he came to say goodbye to me."

"He said that he had an urgent matter to go to the south, and the child was taken away, and he also left me a few taels of silver as a thank you gift for this time."

As he spoke, the old man had already brought Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang to his home.

"Well, they have lived in this house all this time."

The old man pushed open the door, and Yang Ruoqing staggered into the house.

At a glance, I saw that there was still a used diaper left on the bed.

That diaper, Yang Ruoqing recognized it at a glance, it was Chen'er's.

When Chen'er was lost, a diaper was wrapped around her crotch.

"Chen'er!"

Yang Ruoqing picked up the diaper that was still stained with the child's urine and pressed it against her face.

I can't tell if it's joy or sadness.

Happily, Chen'er is not dead, Chen'er is still alive and well.

Sadly, I missed the child again.

This farewell once again fell into the vast sea of people......

"Chen'er ......"

When experiencing disappointment, hope, to disappointment again......

At this moment, the whole person felt like a ball that had been drained, holding Chen'er's diaper, sitting on the edge of the bed, and shedding tears.

And here, Luo Fengtang's mood is the same.

However, he still suppressed his disappointment, and inquired about the ascetic's facial features and appearance with the old man......

"Qing'er ......"

Luo Fengtang suddenly called at Yang Ruoqing's side.

"Don't cry, crying now won't solve the problem, it's imperative, let's quickly write down the appearance of the middle-aged uncle who took away our Chen'er."

"Then, let's also leave for the south, with this clue, we will definitely be able to find Chen'er." He said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

He took a deep breath and tried to hold down his sadness.

"I brought pen and paper, and you say, I'll draw!"

She said.

Then, the old man described the facial features of the middle-aged uncle in detail, and Yang Ruoqing outlined these outlines on the paper in front of him, one stroke at a time.

"Big, big, well, just like you lad."

"The beard on his face is unshaven, covering half of his face and his mouth."

"That eyebrow ......"

……

Changping Village.

Luo Fengtang told the elders of the two families the results of this trip.

After listening to this, everyone was full of regret and mixed joys and sorrows.

Sun said: "Although the child was not picked up this time, one thing is relieved, that middle-aged man is not bad to our Chen'er, and he will not harm him!" ”

Yang Huazhong nodded, "Now that it's over, we can only comfort ourselves like this!" ”

Luo Blacksmith said: "So, did you go to the south?" But the south is so big, where can we find it? ”

Luo Fengtang said: "East, west, north and south, there is a direction, it is better than nothing." ”

At this time, Tuoba Xian, who had been silent, spoke up: "Show me that portrait." ”
