Chapter 2 Shoes

Zhang Gulin was sitting in the courtyard, and when he saw the light of the lantern, he walked out quickly.

Lin Xiaoyu was faster than him, and when he saw Qin Zhong behind Yan Yu, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This man, who usually disgusts her to the extreme, looks like she is shining all over her body at this time, and when she saw him in the past, she just felt scared, but now she is full of security.

Her eyes were full of hope, and she looked behind Qin Zhong in anticipation.

It's a pity that no one else appeared behind the two.

Lin Xiaoyu's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Qin Zhong was also a little weak-hearted, but he still packed the ticket and said.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will definitely get the child back!"

Lin Xiaoyu didn't respond, Qin Zhong was a little embarrassed, and he didn't say more, took the firewood knife and the horse lantern and went out in a hurry.

Although Yan Yu's anger has not subsided, he also agrees with Qin Zhong's truth, and it is important to find a child.

"Professor, it seems that you have to go back and mobilize the comrades of the exploration team to come and help search and rescue ......"

Zhang Gulin was also stunned, turned angry, and finally just shook his head and sighed, took out the flashlight from his bag, patted the lamphead, and left in a hurry by the light of the dim flashlight.

Yan Yu looked at Lin Xiaoyu, who also raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, and he pursed his lips stubbornly, which was really distressing.

"Qin Qiangcai, come here."

"Teacher Yan......" Heiwazi heard her real name, and seemed to have returned to class, a little nervous.

"Let me ask you, why didn't you come back together when you went to pick sea buckthorn together?"

As if she had made a mistake, the black baby replied in a low voice, "I called it...... Big and small shuang...... said that Aunt Xiaoyu had explained, let them pick more, and they can send some to Teacher Yan tomorrow......"

Hearing this, Yan Yu was also heartbroken, and when she looked at Lin Xiaoyu, she also blamed herself.

"Don't think too much, you have to be the strongest at this time, and it's important to find children."

"I'll go to the sea buckthorn woodland, and maybe I'll find something."

"I'll go with you!" Lin Xiaoyu couldn't sit still, her eyes were very firm, and she didn't care about it anymore.

Yan Yu nodded, and explained to the women in the courtyard.

"Sixth mother, I want Qiang Cai to take us to the sea buckthorn forest to have a look, and I'll leave it to you here."

The sea buckthorn forest is too big, even if he knows the approximate location, Yan Yu doesn't know where the children go deep during the day, so he needs Heiwa to lead the way.

The sixth mother walked out, handed a sickle to Lin Xiaoyu, touched her back and said, "Be careful yourself." ”

Heiwa has the meaning of "making up for the merits", wiped her nose, and went out with her head held high.

The aperture of the horse lantern is so small, and the darkness outside is like an invisible blade, no one wants to touch it, and the three of them seem to be trapped on the pillar pier on the edge of the cliff, squeezed in the aperture, and maintain a subtle distance.

After a long period of speechless embarrassment, Heiwa asked, "Teacher Yan...... Uncles and uncles...... Is Dragon Jumping King good-looking? ”

Yan Yu became angry when he heard it, and replied sullenly: "There is nothing to see." ”

After all, thinking of the cold and weird eyes of those people, Yan Yu couldn't say the disgust.

The child is the most sensitive, and Heiwa can also feel Yan Yu's impatience, just oh, but still muttered unwillingly.

"Everyone was going to sneak in and have a look......"

The three of them fell silent again, only the sound of squirming footsteps, and after walking more than a dozen steps, Yan Yu suddenly stopped, grabbed Heiwa's shoulder, and asked hurriedly.

"What did you just say!"

Heiwa's unintentional words, like scratching the itch of the boots, vaguely aroused Yan Yu's inspiration, but he couldn't grasp it accurately for a while.

It wasn't until he walked out of a section that the smell of barbecue that Qin Jiaao smelled came to his heart again, setting off a storm in Yan Yu's heart!

He is not a pessimistic and gloomy person, and he is not willing to think about things in the most evil way, but all the possibilities of "rushing to the doctor" must be considered.

These people are about to fall into madness when they beg for rain, and the big and small twins are the only twins in the village, and they are the only boys and girls in the village, so they won't let this group of people give live sacrifices to the Dragon King!

"Heiwa, you originally made an appointment to take a peek in Qin's house?"

Heiwa is a child after all, and she likes to behave herself well in front of the teacher, and replied excitedly.

"Well, but there are too few sea buckthorn fruits, and when we finish picking, it's almost dark, and everyone is afraid that there will be ...... in the col Ghosts...... That's why I didn't go......"

Although Lin Xiaoyu has never read, he is very smart.

"Do you think the kid sneaked into the col?"

Yan Yu couldn't bear to extinguish Lin Xiaoyu's hope.

"Probably not, the mountain col is just such a way to enter, if they really went in, when I went to find someone just now, Qin Zhong would tell me, there is no need to go down the mountain to find someone."

"Besides, according to the rules of this village, women and children are not allowed to enter, and if the big and small pairs really sneak in, they will also be driven out......"

Lin Xiaoyu was inevitably disappointed, and Yan Yu had no choice but to comfort him softly: "The big and small pairs are not too young, and they are also smart, they should be fine, don't worry too much." ”

As he was talking, in the darkness in the distance, there was a faint wolf howl, and the black baby was scared.

Lin Xiaoyu was also a little uneasy, so Yan Yu urged: "Let's go quickly." ”

The horse lantern can't hold too much kerosene, and it has consumed a lot when it enters the mountain pass, and just now I hurried out, and I forgot to add oil, and Yan Yu didn't dare to be careless, and I came to the sea buckthorn woodland after a while.

Sea buckthorn is also called vinegar willow, extremely drought tolerant, and resistant to wind and sand, its fruit is sour and astringent, it is an extremely common plant in the northwest.

However, sea buckthorn also has another name, called sour thorns, as the name suggests, this plant is full of thorns, and it is not easy to pick, but for children, it is a more fun job.

It is difficult to penetrate this piece of sea buckthorn, but Heiwa and other children have already walked out of a mellow path.

When he arrived at the place where he picked sea buckthorn during the day, Yan Yu searched everywhere, and Lin Xiaoyu called out to the child.

Although the wind and sand gradually rose at night, there was dense sea buckthorn protection, and the footprints were still left, but a litter of children walked around, and the footprints lost their meaning.

The light range of the horse lantern is not wide, and the sea buckthorn forest is dense and difficult to walk, so children can drill around, but adults are constrained everywhere.

"Help me left and right to see if there's anything left."

The three of them were like fish trapped in the aquatic weeds, moving forward slowly, and like a comb with dense teeth combing the beggar's long knotted hair, the progress was not fast.

Seeing that the flame of the horse lantern had gradually weakened, Yan Yu was also a little impatient.

Lin Xiaoyu could also feel it, seeing that Heiwa was so scared, he couldn't bear it, so he said to Yan Yu: "The lamp is running out of oil, go back." ”

Yan Yu was about to give up, but his eyes lit up!

"Wait!"

His voice was full of surprise, even a little trembling!

"It's a pair of shoes!"

Lin Xiaoyu rushed over, carefully identified the shoes, and couldn't stop tears from flowing out.

"My child...... Designated as being taken captive! Lin Xiaoyu hugged his shoes and cried.

Earlier, there were also many outsiders who came into the village and wanted to "adopt" the children in the village, some paid money, and some exchanged rice and grain, but the village head, Qin Dayou, was resolutely opposed to such a thing, and no one sold their children.

It was only since that time that there have been rumors among the villagers that people from outside often covet and want to steal or even snatch children.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen to Lin Xiaoyu!

If in the past, there were many people in the village, but whenever outsiders approached, they would be noticed, but in the past few days, the men have entered Qinjiaao, and the mothers-in-law are digging roots, looking for fruits, looking for all places with water storage, where will people come unexpectedly?

Yan Yu was also worried, if outsiders kidnapped the child, I was afraid that it would be difficult to find it.

"Don't worry, look for it again!" Yan Yu didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he was afraid that Lin Xiaoyu's emotions would collapse, but he didn't expect that he would really find something!

"It's a basket!"

Three or five steps ahead, I saw a small basket, stuffed under a bush of sea buckthorn, revealing a corner!

Seeing this basket, Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, comforted Lin Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, don't panic, the big and small pairs were not taken away." ”

Lin Xiaoyu was a little desperate: "Don't lie to me, I ......"

Yan Yu looked resolute: "I didn't lie to you, if it was taken away, the child would definitely resist, but look at this basket, none of the sea buckthorn fruits in it were scattered, which means that the basket was put down by someone." ”

"If there had been a fierce resistance, this basket of sea buckthorn fruits would not have been so intact."

Yan Yu analyzed it well, and the despair in Lin Xiaoyu's eyes finally subsided a little, but she was still worried.

"But these shoes ...... The girl is a baby on weekdays, how can she leave one? Where did they go? ”

Yan Yu fell into a brief moment of contemplation again.

"There was no sign of resistance around, probably taken away by someone I knew...... I just hurried and dropped my shoes. ”

"Xiaoyu, is there such a possible candidate?" Yan Yu told his speculation and asked Lin Xiaoyu.

"Jianghai...... After Jiang Hai left, I didn't have any contact with my relatives......"

Lin Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, and shook his head.

Yan Yu also knew very well in his heart that Lin Xiaoyu's husband had been missing for several years, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and many people regarded Lin Xiaoyu as a widow.

These people who worship the Dragon King and ask for rain are the most superstitious, and their relatives Xu is anger towards Lin Xiaoyu about her husband Zhao Jianghai, and it is normal not to communicate.

"Have you gotten into any trouble lately?"

Lin Xiaoyu shook his head again.

In order to raise this pair of daughters, Lin Xiaoyu was cautious, although she was tenacious and stubborn, her personality was excellent, and she never quarreled with others, after all, there was no man at home, if she was really arrogant, she could only suffer herself.

She's too young to look like a faceless shrew, so she can't really think of anyone who is hostile to her.

Could it be that the child really let these men take these men into the mountain col to sacrifice the dragon king alive?

While pondering like this, the light of the lantern swayed, and finally slowly dimmed, and then completely fell into darkness.
