Chapter 43: Whereabouts are discovered
"It's just casual" Zhan Qianche replied, not intending to say more. In the end, there are many more accidents in the world than planning, and living in seclusion here is accidental, and meeting is also accidental.
.......
In the afternoon, the sunlight slanted into the room through the window, Bai Qianning held the brush and began to ponder and write recipes, the recipes and seasonings were ready-made, the only thing that was holding back was her ghost-like handwriting, which was so awkward that she couldn't even read it.
Finally, after wasting an unknown number of expensive pieces of paper, Bai Qianning finally finished a recipe that was still passable, picked it up and dried the ink before preparing to fold it.
At this moment, Xiao Douding, who had been playing in the yard, ran in in a panic.
"Mother, mother, the rice balls are gone."
"The rice balls are missing?" Bai Qianning repeated a sentence like a repeater, then put the recipe aside, stood in front of him and asked, "Why can't you see it?" Did you forget to close the courtyard door? ”
Bai Qianning knew that the fence of this courtyard was very dense, and the height was half an adult's height, so it was said that the little fox should not be able to get out, and the only reason that could be thought of was that Fang Zhan Qianche forgot to close the courtyard door when he went out.
Because he wanted to make a bed, after eating, Zhan Qianche went to Carpenter Zhou's house, saying that he was borrowing something to come back, but he didn't see him for two quarters of an hour.
"You go and see the courtyard gate first, if it's open, I'm afraid I'll sneak out."
Bai Qianning stood in the house and asked Xiaodouding to take a look.
Xiao Douding trotted over, his little hand pulled the courtyard door and shook it, and when he saw that the wooden pin was well inserted in the door, he turned around and told his mother: "The courtyard door is closed." ”
"That's weird!" Bai Qianning muttered, and said, "At the moment, your Uncle Wang hasn't come back yet, so I can only help my mother find it for you, you can see if there are people coming nearby." ”
Xiao Douding turned his little head to look around, and then ran back to Bai Qianning and said, "No, Uncle said before going out that today is the day of the town to catch the market, and the villagers are going to go to the market." ”
"That's right!" Bai Qianning finally stepped out of the threshold with confidence and boldness, but the villagers attached great importance to the big day, especially in the winter when materials were scarce, and the family's livelihood was all on the market.
It is estimated that most of the people in the village have gone to the town, Bai Qianning finally saw the light of day again, and stood in the courtyard for a long time before remembering the business of going out.
"If the door is closed, the chance of the little fox running out is very small, and you can't tell where to hide in the corner, and my mother will accompany you to find it."
After Bai Qianning finished speaking, he searched in the courtyard, Zhan Qianche's house was located in the middle of the courtyard, the front yard was rested with a stake for chopping wood, next to it was a stone road leading to the courtyard gate, and there was a well in the corner, which looked well organized. Behind the house were two fields of land that had not been cultivated for a long time, and the withered yellow weeds were almost as tall as small beans.
Bai Qianning picked up a slender firewood stick from the ground and rummaged through the haystack everywhere.
And Xiao Douding followed behind, shouting "Tangyuan Tangyuan", a tender white face was full of anxiety, this is a meeting gift from her father, she only recognized her father this morning, how can she lose the meeting gift given by her father?
The two figures, one large and one small, rummaged back and forth in the yard several times, but they didn't even see half a fox hair.
Just as he was about to be discouraged, Bai Qianning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a small white figure shaking in the crack of the wooden barrel by the well.
"There! Shh......h Moved the bucket away and hugged the little fox in one hand.
It's just that when she straightened up, she was so frightened that she let go of her hand, and the little fox who had just arrived fled again.
"Xie Yu'er?"
"You're not ......."
Bai Qianning and Xie Yu'er spoke almost at the same time, and even the look of surprise on their faces was the same. Just when the two of them were stunned, Xiao Douding, who was standing next to him, hugged the little fox who had just absconded from Bai Qianning's arms, stood up and cheered: "Mother, I caught it." ”
"You're her mother?"
Xie Yuer rubbed her eyes, and once thought that she was dazzled, isn't this Zhao Laosan's daughter-in-law who was bought? It's not that he ran away, how could he be here again? And Brother Wang's daughter still calls her mother?!
"No, I'm not her mother!" Bai Qianning hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and then continued: "I'm just passing by, I'll go!" ”
Although this reason was so far-fetched that he couldn't even listen to it, Bai Qianning still said it hard, turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
"Still want to run?"
Xie Yuer was originally not sure, but when she ran away, she knew that this woman was Zhao Laosan's lost daughter-in-law. Three steps and two steps, a puff of smoke ran to the gate of the courtyard and blocked Bai Qianning.
"Stop!"
Seeing that there was no way out, Bai Qianning stood still, and asked angrily: "I don't know you, what are you blocking me for?" ”
was panicked in her heart, thinking that this was over, if she went back and told the Zhao family, she would have to toss.
