Chapter Twenty-Six: The Farce of Disappearance
Because of this delay, the hour was not early, and noon had passed.
Thinking that she would have to walk for an hour to go home, Xu Qingyan bought two meat buns on the side of the road and ate them as she walked.
It's not that she is reluctant to bring a few to her family, but she wants to hide the money as a private house, and if she brings the buns back, she has to explain the origin of the money.
Anyway, she has already decided to tell her family that she can make talismans, and when the family makes money in the future, the family can eat as many buns as they want.
Not to mention that Xu Qingyan is in a good mood all the way because of the business negotiations.
Just talking about the Xu family's side, there was no one Xu Qingyan for lunch at noon, and the Xu family was a little anxious. went to Li's house to inquire again, and Li Xiaohan said that Xu Qingyan hadn't looked for her today.
When the Xu family heard this, they were immediately anxious, for fear that they had been abducted by human traffickers, and the family was anxious to inquire about the whole village to see if anyone had seen Xu Qingyan.
After asking more than a dozen families and saying that they had never seen it, the Xu family's heart sank suddenly, Hu was crying darkly, Xu Guanghua's eyes were red and choked up, and Cao's fainted directly.
The family is like ants on a hot pot, anxious and clueless.
Fortunately, in the end, a family living at the entrance of the village heard about this and ran to tell them that they seemed to have seen a girl going to the entrance of the village in the morning. He happened to be chopping firewood in the yard at the time, but he only vaguely saw a back, not sure if it was Xu Qingyan.
The Xu family hurriedly asked him, the girl's height and clothing? Seeing that they were paired one by one, I heard the man say that the girl did not go with anyone, but by herself. Only then did the Xu family feel alive, and most of their hearts were relieved, at least they were not abducted by traffickers.
But then I thought that this child was going outside the village alone, and I didn't know where he was going, what if he ran into a bad guy outside?
The two brothers immediately returned to Xu's house and told the Cao family the news, and then the two brothers divided into two roads, one chasing on the road to the county seat, and the other chasing on the other road. The Hu family waited at the entrance of the village to see if Xu Qingyan would come back by herself, while the Wu family stayed at home to take care of the Cao family, who had just woken up.
After the two brothers Xu Qingjun and Xu Qingwen learned that their sister was missing, they did not want to stay at home, but waited at the entrance of the village with the Hu family.
The Li family learned about this and also came to ask to see if there was anything they needed help with. Knowing that there was no place to help for the time being, Li Dashun went home and waited for the news, but he was a little uneasy at home, and secretly wondered in his heart whether it would be related to yesterday's incident.
He was worried that because of yesterday's incident, the girl didn't tell her family at the time, and was found out by the Xu family afterwards, beaten and scolded, and then ran out alone. If this is the case, if something happens to this girl, he will not be able to feel at ease in his life.
Li Xiaoxue and Li Xiaohan were also inquiring about Xu Qingyan, and after returning home, they listened to her father's speculation, and Li Xiaohan immediately ran to Xu's house to ask Cao's family.
"Grandma Xu, did you scold Ah Yan yesterday because of the medicine, if you want to blame me, Ah Yan is also kind, so I will hide it from you."
Cao Shi just woke up, and his head was a little groggy, and when he heard Li Xiaohan ask, he was even more in the clouds, "Medicine, what medicine?" I don't know what you're talking about, and we didn't scold Ayan yesterday. ”
"Ahh That ....." Li Xiaohan didn't know how to answer when she heard Cao say this, she regretted that she shouldn't have said these words on impulse.
Listening to the meaning of Grandma Xu's words, Ah Yan really didn't mention the medicine to Grandma Xu yesterday, and she suddenly came to say this, wouldn't she sell Ah Yan. ”
But she has already spoken, and she can't take it back, besides, the grandmother of the Xu family will know about the medicine sooner or later, since this is the case, it is better to tell her now.
"Grandma Xu is like this, yesterday my father was injured at work, I chatted with Ayan and said, Ayan said that there was a bottle of painkillers at home that had not been used up, and said that she was bringing it back to me, so that my father could use it first, and then give you the money when my mother came back from the county to grab the medicine."
In fact, Xu Qingyan didn't mention the matter of giving money at all yesterday, Li Xiaohan said this, but she didn't want Grandma Xu to think that Xu Qingyan gave away things at home for no reason.
said that it was money, maybe Grandma Xu wouldn't be angry when she heard it, but when she went home, she would tell her father and ask her father to send the medicine money to the Xu family.
Here Li Xiaohan was telling the Cao family the reason and pleading, but over there Xu Qingyan met Xu Guanghua on the way, she was a little stunned, I don't know how good it is, why did her father appear here? And he looked anxious.
Xu Guanghua, who was not far away, also happened to see Xu Qingyan in front of him, and his heart was suddenly relieved.
Then I thought that this child ran around at will without telling the adults, which caused the relatives at home to be worried and anxious, especially when Cao was so old and fainted. Suddenly became angry, ran forward, and slapped Xu Qingyan in the back.
Before Xu Qingyan could ask her father why he appeared here, she was stumbled by her father's slap and almost fell to the ground, and her brain was a little confused for a while!
I wonder what happened to her dad today? You must know that Xu Guanghua treats her very well on weekdays, basically responds to requests, and never even scolds, let alone beating.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingyan was extremely aggrieved, coupled with the burning pain in her back, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell.
Xu Guanghua is in the prime of life, and he often works, and the strength in his hands is naturally not small, even if he beats his daughter, he is a little more restrained, but the big slap is hard, and Xu Qingyan is a child who is difficult to bear.
Xu Guanghua cried when he saw his daughter, although he was still a little angry in his heart, but in the end, he was the daughter who hurt her with one hand, and he had never done anything to her, and he couldn't help but regret that he had done it too much.
But when he thought of what this girl did, he had to get angry, so he asked Xu Qingyan with a cold face: "Do you know why your father beat you, do you know what you did wrong?" ”
Xu Qingyan hadn't recovered from that slap yet, and after listening to Xu Guanghua's words, she shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Xu Guanghua shook his head when he saw her, and suddenly his anger came up again, and he yelled at her: "Where have you been today, why don't you go out and tell the adults in the family, do you know, I didn't see you at noon, the family is crazy, for fear that you will be abducted by human traffickers, your grandmother has fainted, your mother is still crying, your uncle is looking for you everywhere, tell me where you went!" ”
After listening to Xu Guanghua's words, Xu Qingyan understood the whole story, it turned out that it was because of this incident that her father would be so angry with her.
But this matter is also blamed on her lack of thought, just thinking about going to explore the road by herself, not telling her family, but forgetting how anxious her family would be if she delayed the time and didn't come back at noon, and the Xu family found out that she was missing!
Knowing the reason, Xu Qingyan sincerely admitted her mistake and said: "Dad, I'm sorry it's my fault, I'm worried, don't be angry, okay, let's go home now, grandma knows that I'm back, so I won't be in a hurry." ”
Xu Guanghua saw that Xu Qingyan had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes, and finally dissipated her anger.
"Okay, let's go home first, I have to chase your uncle back, your mother is also guarding the village entrance now."
The father and daughter were in a hurry, and Xu Guanghua didn't have time to ask where she went? In fact, I can meet on this road, and I specify that this girl is going to the county seat. Why don't you go to the county seat? He didn't have time to ask now, so he had to wait until he chased the eldest brother back and interrogated him again.
After rushing to the entrance of the village and handing over Xu Qingyan to the Hu family, Xu Guanghua hurriedly went to another road to chase Xu Guangqi.
When Hu saw Xu Qingyan return safely, the heart he was carrying was put down, and when the mother and daughter saw each other, Hu hugged Xu Qingyan and cried bitterly. After that, she couldn't avoid scolding, Xu Qingyan apologized and was careful, so she passed this pass, and because she was in a hurry to go home to report to Cao's family, Hu didn't nag anymore.
