Chapter 52: The Noise
Although Pei Yuanfei is not afraid of snakes, his sister's abnormal behavior still makes him subconsciously excited.
Maybe it was because the sound in the courtyard was too noisy, Pei's mother and Pei's father quickly came out of the room, and after seeing Yuan Xuan, the two elders were also taken aback, and they were surprised that she had gained a lot of weight in a short time.
When he entered the house, he felt much cooler, but Yuan Xuan still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he went straight to the place where Bingjian was placed, and sighed comfortably next to Bingjian.
After sending the subordinates out, Pei's mother and Pei's father made a look, and said to Yuan Xuan: "Xian'er, why haven't you seen you for some days, and you have made so many blessings?" ”
Yuan Xuan almost didn't think much about it, touched his stomach and smiled softly, then looked at his mother and winked mischievously and said, "Mother, you and my father will be elders again from now on, and I am pregnant." ”
Pei's mother was stuck in her throat for the rest of her words, and after glancing at her wife, she covered her mouth and was overjoyed.
Great, great, my daughter is pregnant, and all the problems I was worried about before have been solved.
Pei's father was also quite happy, and after laughing, he took the initiative to leave the room and gave up the space to their mother and daughter.
After he left, Pei Mu looked at Yuan Xuan's stomach and began to interrogate.
"When did you get pregnant? Is the fetus unstable? Are my son-in-law and your mother-in-law happy when they find out? ………”
"They don't know about it in early March, so I'll tell them when I'm pregnant." Yuan Xuan's nonchalant way.
Pei's mother calculated in her heart, her face was anxious, and she poked her daughter's forehead with hatred: "It's been two months, are you lacking heart?" What should we do to hide this happy event? ”
"You tap, even if I don't hurt, your grandson still screams pain." Yuan Xuan dodged her hand and said with a proud face.
Then she looked at her flat belly, she raised her head and leaned on her mother's shoulder and said softly: "Mother, Wei Wei has something important to do, he has left the county seat secretly, and he won't be able to come back for a while, I was afraid that he would worry about me, so I didn't tell him."
My mother-in-law is also not restless, since the date of her remarriage, she has dreamed of Wei and his father several times, and often has not been able to sleep well, so I don't want her to be distracted by me anymore. ”
Pei's mother paused on her hand, nodded her nose in distress and said, "My son has finally grown up, is sensible, and knows that he is distressed." ”
The mother and daughter were talking to each other when there was a sudden thunderclap, followed by a downpour outside.
Looking at the heavy rain, for some reason, Yuan Xuan had a very bad premonition in his heart. Thinking of Wei Wei, who was away from home, her heart clenched tightly.
————
"My lord, this rain is so heavy, should we stop and take shelter from the rain first?" Xiao Shunzi wiped the rain from his face and asked Wei Wei in front.
Several of the people behind him were already showing fatigue and eagerness, hoping to take advantage of the heavy rain to stop and rest and replenish their strength.
They have not slept for many days, and secretly sent two batches of grain and grass to Linyu Pass, which is really unbearable.
"No, time is pressing, keep on your way." Wei Wei tugged at the reins with a straight face, and his voice was cold and ruthless.
The people behind him couldn't help but wail quietly, and it wasn't until they had a chance to rest for four hours after they connected with people at night.
Wei Wei's ruthlessness made people wail and slander, and he also got a nickname, called Iron-Faced Pan An.
———
The heavy rain fell intermittently for three days, and Yuan Xuan couldn't go back for a while, so he had to live in his mother's house first.
On the ninth day of the fifth month, there was a noise in the courtyard, and then it was quiet again. Yuan Xuan felt a little strange and called Qiao'er in the courtyard to come in.
At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of Pei's house, and it was the scholar in Pei Xingyan's private school who was standing in the crowd and talking.
He looked at Pei Yuanfei with an anxious expression, and his voice was hoarse: "Early yesterday morning, Mr. said that he would check the homework assigned the day before, and two students did not finish it, so the master punished them to stand outside the door."
Originally, this was nothing, and punishment was a common thing.
But last night, the master suddenly had an unbearable stomach ache and couldn't stop entering the hut. The little one went to invite Lang Zhong to come, and after Lang Zhong saw it, he said that Mr. had eaten unclean food by mistake.
After some inquiry, Lang concluded that it was the little prince of your mansion who was mischievous with several other sons, and secretly put the rancid vegetable soup in the gentleman's teacup. ”
His words made Pei Yuanfei's face blue and white for a while, and then he waved at the scholar again and again, preparing to go to the private school to catch the rabbit cub back.
"Don't be like this, Pei Gongzi, you listen to Xiao Ji first." The scholar held his hand and stopped.
"Early this morning, the master hit the hand of the son, but after the recess, the son and the other sons disappeared.
The master was puzzled, so he asked the rest of the class, but none of them could tell clearly.
The master was uneasy, so he told them all to go home first, and said that they would go to class in the afternoon when they had figured it out.
After that, the younger one went separate from the master and inquired from house to house, but these families were the same as your family, and no one knew where their children had gone, and the children of more than a dozen families, plus the scholars who served them, thirty or forty people disappeared out of thin air. ”
Yuan Xuan, who had just walked to the door, was shocked, wait, this scholar said that Pei Xingyan and they were missing?
Liu has always been indifferent, but when it comes to the safety of the child, she can't maintain her manners, frowning and saying anxiously: "How can this be, have you been looking around?" Didn't anyone see it on the road? ”
If more than a dozen people go missing together, there will always be people who will see the traces, and it will be impossible to fly away, right?
The scholar was about to cry urgently, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, I have searched all over the city, but there is really none!" ”
One of the women in the crowd howled, her legs went limp, and she staggered back to the ground.
Seeing that Liu's face was also pale, Yuan Xuan hurriedly went to help her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let my brother ask them if they are out of the city." ”
Liu nodded in a trance, and she suddenly remembered that two days ago, when they were practicing calligraphy, they said that it was too hot now and they didn't want to go to the school.
The two children of Biting Jin and Xiao Tao also echoed, saying that it was such a hot day, if they could sleep at home like their younger brothers, and wake up when they wanted.
The mother-in-law also said at the time that the three of them thought of beauty!
These bear children shouldn't go to the shallows outside the city to play in the water, right?
She hurriedly said to Pei Yuanfei: "You go to the city gate and ask, if they go out of the city, go to the shallows to have a look." ”
The shoal lives up to its name, the water is very deep, and it is a moat of the old years.
Today, in addition to the new moat, it has become the largest river in Quyang County. Not only is the living water, but the water flow is also very fast, and it is seven or eight miles away from the north of the city.
Everyone gasped when they heard this, and after thinking about their children's behavior, they felt that it was really possible to be as Liu said.
Originally, there were a lot of anxious people around, but now they will directly fry the pot.
