Wei Zongyong drank a few glasses of stuffy wine at dinner and went to bed early.

At this time, I only felt very thirsty, Aunt Liu knew that he had always been like this, and she had already ordered someone to put the tea stove together, and even if the weather was hot, she couldn't drink herbal tea at night.

Aunt Liu has always been careful and attentive to Wei Zongyong, as long as she is there, she will do everything by herself, and she doesn't need a maid.

At this moment, I heard that the old man woke up, hurriedly picked up the tent and went to the ground, put on his sleeping shoes and went to pour tea.

"What time is it now?" Wei Zongyong asked.

"I've already beaten the second watch, master," Aunt Liu brought the teacup to Wei Zongyong and whispered.

Wei Zongyong drank tea and said to Aunt Liu, "You can go to sleep too!" After a while, I was sleepy and couldn't sleep. ”

"It's okay, I'm going to see the two children, they both like to kick the quilt at night, don't catch a cold."

"Aren't there their own nurses? You still need to go in person. Wei Zongyong felt that the Liu family was too worried.

"The nurse is tired enough to play crazy with them for a day, and most of them will die of sleep early." Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I'll come back when I go to see it." ”

However, Aunt Liu did not return after a long time.

Wei Zongyong wondered, the place where the two children lived was opposite Liu's bedroom, there was only one hall in the middle, and the beds of the two children were separated by a blue gauze cupboard, and there were not a few steps before and after.

"Chunyun!" Wei Zongyong shouted to the girl who was out at night: "Go and see why my aunt hasn't come back?" ”

No one answered him.

Wei Zongyong couldn't help but be stunned, got up and went to the outside to take a look, there was no one.

He then walked to the bedroom of the two children, only to see Wei Kangan asleep on the small bed, and the nurse patting him gently.

Wei Yibao's bed was empty, and the nurse and the girl were gone.

Of course, the Liu family is also gone.

"What about people? Where did you run in the middle of the night? Wei Zongyong asked Wei Kangan's nurse.

"Miss Sixth is gone, my aunt is looking for her in the yard!" Wei Kangan's nurse said.

"How can you not see it? Did you wake up late? Wei Zongyong asked.

"The slave doesn't know," Wei Kang'an's nurse shook her head: "Miss Six was not in the house when my aunt came, we all slept and didn't hear any movement." ”

Wei Zongyong didn't panic much, after all, it was in his own home, where could a child run.

However, he had always loved the two children born to the Liu family very much, so he also turned around and went out, wanting to take a look outside.

Aunt Liu was wearing thin clothes and looked anxious, and when she saw Wei Zongyong, she hurriedly came over and said, "Why did the master come out, the night is heavy, go into the house quickly." ”

"Why is Yibao missing? Still haven't found it yet? Wei Zongyong asked.

The maids who came out to look for them all shook their heads, Wei Yibao's nurse Ayu was the most anxious, with tears on her face, and she was the most responsible for the disappearance of Miss Six.

"Master, it's all my fault that I slept too hard," Ayu pleaded: "Sixth Miss—"

"Don't be busy confessing your guilt first, hurry up and find someone," Wei Zongyong said in a deep voice: "You should think about where Yibao might go." ”

"I've searched all over this place," Cao's mother said tremblingly, "Where else can Miss Six go?" ”

Aunt Liu was obviously worried, but she still said: "You must not make a loud noise, there are many things in the house now, and the old lady is enough to worry about every day, don't make chickens and dogs jump." ”

"It stands to reason that Miss Six will not be able to run out of this house, but I am afraid that she will run around, it is dark this day, and there is a pond in the garden......" Cao's mother said worriedly.

If someone else said this, she would definitely be reprimanded, but Mother Cao is Liu's henchman, and her name is the same as mother and daughter, so Wei Zongyong and Aunt Liu don't blame her.

"I remember," Ayu suddenly said: "Miss Sixth is playing in the garden during the day, and when it comes to epiphany, I have one more mouth, saying that there are several epiphyllum plants in the west building of our house, but unfortunately they only bloom at night." Miss Six, don't go to see the epiphany, right? ”

Although Wei Yibao is young, she is stubborn and stubborn, and arrogant and willful, she thinks that it is useless to do anything no matter how others persuade her, if she wants to see it, she can really run to Xixiaolou at night.

"Then what are you waiting for, go find it!" Cao's mother was in a hurry to leave.

"Mother Cao, stop." Aunt Liu stopped: "Don't go!" ”

"Why can't you go?" Wei Zongyong wondered: "Is there a wolf or a tiger there?" ”

"Master, Naxi Xiaolou is close to Madame's courtyard, and it is not good to alarm Madame again in the middle of the night." Aunt Liu said softly.

Hearing Aunt Liu say this, Wei Zongyong remembered that this small building in the west was indeed an unusual place, because it was close to the Bao family's courtyard, so he simply made a small warehouse and a meeting hall.

Usually, after breakfast, the Bao family convenes the housekeepers and stewards on the first floor of the West Building, and the first two floors are filled with valuables, and ordinary people can not easily go there.

Wei Zongyong knew that the reason why the Liu family said this was not simply because she was afraid of disturbing the Bao family, but also because she was afraid that if Xi Xiaolou lost something or something was missing, she couldn't get out of it.

"Auntie, tonight, the fourth lady is the seventh, I heard that the lady is holding a wake for her over there, let's go quietly and not alarm the people there." Cao's mother said: "There is really no way, it is better to ask the master to follow, if Mrs. tomorrow has anything to say, it is good to have a burden." ”

"What are you waiting for? It's important to find a child," Wei Zongyong took out the demeanor of the head of the family at this time: "If Mrs. is to blame, naturally I am responsible!" ”

When Aunt Liu heard this, she was naturally grateful, and hurriedly said: "Although there is a master to follow, everyone must be quiet, try not to alarm others, if it is noisy, I am afraid that it will make people panic, or there is unknowing nonsense, so that outsiders listen to the joke, it should be said that our house is always not peaceful." ”

Wei Zongyong felt that the Liu family was not only empathetic but also empathetic, although his own child was gone, he always thought about this family everywhere, and he deserved to be from everyone's background.

The group only carried a bright corner lamp and walked to the west building.

Although this small west building is lively during the day, it is always quiet at night.

But today is a little abnormal, looking at the lights in the building from a distance, although not very bright.

"Auntie, there's still a light in this building, maybe Miss Six is really here." Ayu said happily.

"Quietly," Aunt Liu admonished, "go in and have a look." ”

Chunrong finished eating fried gluten and rinsed her mouth again before re-entering Wei Yiwan's yard.

She didn't dare to make a loud noise, and tiptoed in, and the mourning hall was empty.

"Where's Madame?" Chun Rong said strangely: "The peach is also gone." ”

Could it be that the lady also went out to the toilet?

A gust of wind blew, and the everlasting lamp offered by Wei Yi Wanling was blown out.

Chunrong couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly groped forward and lit a fire.

The oil in the lamp was running out.

Chun Rong added lamp oil and scolded at the same time: "Pan Tao, this girl must be lazy again, thanks to Mrs. not here at this time, or she will have to be trained again." ”
