Chapter Seventy-Four: Who is Chu Yiyang?
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lou Xinglan still returned home, and this year's New Year was particularly lively, because Lou Cheng came back, and he came back almost this time a year, so almost all relatives came over.
"Little Brother Lou!" As soon as Lou Xinglan entered the house, someone patted him on the shoulder behind him, and he reflexively twisted her hand with his backhand.
"Pain, pain, pain!" The girl who greeted him behind him bent down with his strength.
Lou Xinglan saw the person coming clearly, was stunned and then quickly let go: "You are?" ”
For a moment he thought it was Bu Jin, did he miss her too much? Anyone I saw thought it was her.
Looking at it more now, I still feel that she is very similar to Bukin.
Chu Yiran rubbed his wrist and looked at him funny: "Yo! Boy, you have a lot of courage, I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't know you Sister Chu? ”
Lou Xinglan frowned and looked at her blankly, obviously unable to remember when she had a Sister Chu.
"Hey! Have you forgotten? When you were a child, when you were about one or two years old or two or three years old, you often went to other people's houses to play, just to see your ......" Lou Xinghui came over and put his arm on his shoulder to explain, but then the voice disappeared.
Lou Xinghui looked at Chu Yiran with a little embarrassment, that incident had always been a lingering shadow of the Chu family.
Chu Yiran waved his hand quite generously: "It's nothing, don't be so evasive, our family is almost downplayed, as long as you don't talk about it in front of my grandma, it's no problem, the key is that my grandma is abroad, so you don't have to be so careful." ”
"It's good to come out, after all, it's been so long." Lou Xinghui nodded.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Lou Xinglan looked at them with a little irritation, this kind of conversation like a dumb riddle was very unpleasant.
"Are you still angry?" Chu Yiran looked at him as fresh as if he had discovered a new continent: "When I was a child, weren't you the most afraid of me?" ”
"It's different now, he's the one who can legally own guns in the country now!" Lou Xinghui teased him.
"Awesome!" Chu Yiran looked at him appreciatively.
Lou Xinglan turned his head and wanted to leave, not wanting to talk to them.
Lou Xinghui hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't go in, this is a piece of advice for you, it is full of elders, and you will be nagged to death if you go." ”
He had just escaped from inside.
"Find a place to sit." Chu Yiran looked around with a smile, and finally walked around to the garden at the back, although there were a few children playing here, it was relatively quiet.
"You really don't remember when you were a kid?" Chu Yiran sat on the chair and looked at Lou Xinglan curiously.
Lou Xinglan glanced at her, obviously not wanting to answer the question she asked knowingly: "Why were you behind me just now?" You recognize me at a glance? ”
"That's definitely not it, I've seen your photos in advance, didn't I just want to surprise you? It almost turned out to be a scare, and I don't know you don't remember me anymore. ”
"I'm not used to having people behind me, and I guess we haven't seen each other for at least twenty years, so it's normal not to know each other." Lou Xinglan shook her head, unwilling to say more to her.
He has a little impression of the people of the Chu family but is not familiar with them, it is said that they used to be good neighbors, but the whole family moved out of the country twenty years ago, and there was gradually less contact with each other.
As for why they moved out of the country, it should be because his youngest daughter was abducted, and even his mother kept this matter secret, and it must have been a big blow to their family.
Chu Yiran nodded: "Yes, you were estimated to be two years old at that time, right?" Do you have? She looked at Lou Xinghui.
She was born in the same year as Lou Xinghui, Lou Xinghui Lou Xinglan was four years old, and they were both more than six years old at the time.
"Well, it's over two years old." Lou Xinghui said affirmatively.
"Hey, more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know where my poor sister is now, how she is doing." Chu Yiran is still a little sad about his sister's departure.
When she was a child, she liked to hold her sister the most, a small lump, her eyes were dark, and the time she could wake up and play with her in a day only added up to ten minutes, but she still liked her sister, who was bright and smart.
"May I ask how your sister was abducted? And what exactly is my relationship with her, and why do you involve me with her every time? ”
Lou Xinglan asked calmly, it has been like this for so many years, he has always wanted to ask, but he couldn't find the right person, the right opportunity, he was too young at that time, and he didn't even have a vague memory.
Chu Yiran looked at him quietly and smiled faintly.
"Although you kid was only more than two years old at the time, I think you should remember it, otherwise you wouldn't be very smart."
Lou Xinglan had nothing to say, how did she come to this conclusion?
"I still remember when my little cutie was born, your mother took your two brothers over to see your sister, your brother went to the baby room to see his sister and went out to play, you little broken child moved a stool and pulled it on the side of the crib and looked at my sister very seriously."
"The adults were talking, and you were just watching there, like a little rascal, and then guess what happened?"
Lou Xinglan looked at them and couldn't help but know that it wouldn't be a good thing, and Chu Yiran's next words really confirmed his conjecture.
"You actually watched my sister drool, and by the time my aunt found you, your saliva had already wet half of my sister's pillow."
"Hahaha!" Lou Xinghui laughed unrestrainedly, and Chu Yiran looked at him with a deep smile.
"Brother, do you hear me? You loved beautiful women when you were a kid. ”
Lou Xinglan seriously doubted that they could make up these stories to make fun of him, Chu Yiran received his suspicious eyes: "This is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Auntie, she can prove that what I said is true." ”
Lou Xinglan listened suspiciously: "And then?" ”
"Then you just clamored your aunt every day to let her take you over to play, sometimes she doesn't come, you have to sneak over yourself, and if you don't take out a stick to scare you at night, you won't go home."
Lou Xinglan is embarrassed, this is definitely not him! He couldn't have done such a humiliating thing.
"Don't believe it, when you were a child, you were gone in the blink of an eye, and no one was worried about you at this time, knowing that you were going to find someone's little sister." Lou Xinghui's words broke his last struggle.
Chu Yiran watched Lou Xinglan's gaze gradually soften, as if he had returned to that time.
"You really liked my sister at that time, and you would bring your toy stroller or something to play with for her, even though she spent more time sleeping. Do you remember that your toys were never touched? Only my sister can play. ”
Saying this, Lou Xinglan has a little impression that he has always disliked being touched by others, including Lou Xinghui.
"At that time, the two families decided to let you engage a baby kiss, if there is no later thing, it is estimated that you will have to talk about marriage now." Chu Yiran was very sorry.
"What happened next?" Lou Xinglan asked.
"Later, someone came to my house and took my sister."
The weather was good that day, and they were all in the garden, except for Chu Yiyang and Lou Xinglan, who were in the room.
One is because he needs to sleep, and the other is because it's like looking at his future daughter-in-law.
They didn't know how that person got in, they only knew that when they went up to call Lou Xinglan to eat at noon, there was only Lou Xinglan in the baby room, and he fainted to the ground.
"Why don't I have any impression of such a big thing?" Lou Xinglan was very puzzled, if this was the case, he was very likely to see what that person looked like, and if he could remember it, he might be able to get Chu Yiyang back.
"When you woke up, you said that your sister was taken away by the bad guys, and we also tried to ask you what the bad guys looked like, and you said that he covered his face and couldn't see what he looked like, but you knew he was a man."
"After that, you kept crying and crying, and you were even more sad than us, and you were seriously ill for it, and when you got better, you didn't remember that past."
He still hasn't remembered why his daughter-in-law is so gone......
Lou Xinglan carefully filtered the past that Chu Yiran said, and found that he really couldn't remember it.
"Children, it's time to eat." An aunt stood by the door and shouted to the children in the yard.
"Let's go too." Chu Yiran stood up and moved his muscles, and then slowly walked out.
Lou Xinglan and Lou Xinghui were behind him, and Lou Xinghui habitually put his hand on him: "Don't think too much, it's been more than 20 years, our two families tried their best to find Chu Yiyang, and there is little hope for you to work hard now." ”
"Hmm." Lou Xinglan nodded, although he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he didn't know why he had an indescribable sense of guilt, he felt that he was blaming himself for Chu Yiyang's snatching.
At the dinner table, Jiang Huaisheng happened to be sitting next to Lou Xinglan, and he stared at Chu Yiran vigorously.
Then Lou Xinglan's mother stared at the two of them, and bumped her elbow against Lou Cheng: "Hey! Look at Huai Sheng, is he a little interesting to the eldest daughter of the Chu family? ”
Lou Cheng followed what she said, and in his eyes, he felt that Jiang Huaisheng probably regarded Chu Yiran as an experimental subject, and there was no such excitement in his eyes as a young man.
"You may be mistaken." Lou Cheng looked at her regretfully.
She is now either worried about Jiang Huaisheng's marriage or her two sons all day long, and she feels that her hair is going to turn white.
"Uncle, do you think she looks like someone we know?" Lou Xinglan sensed his doubts.
"Well, do you know the family background of Bukinyu?" Jiang Huaisheng asked.
"She was adopted in an orphanage, and her adoptive parents are no longer there." Lou Xinglan said succinctly.
"I can go and see." Jiang Huaisheng decided to test his conjecture, although it is unlikely that such a coincidence will happen in the world, but who can tell?
"Okay." Lou Xinglan nodded.
"Don't tell anyone about this for the time being, lest you have a lot of joy." Jiang Huaisheng instructed not to make everyone aware of things that he was not sure of.
"I know." Lou Xinglan responded.
Chinese New Year's Eve is lively in some places, and deserted in others.
For example, Elysium, which is usually not felt, once it is time for the New Year's holidays, the whole building is set off in a particularly deserted manner.
