Chapter IV
The tight pressure in his throat made him almost out of breath, and the moment he felt that he was about to suffocate to death, Shuhuai opened his eyes in a daze-
His cheeks were hot, and his nose was tickling with hot water running above his lips. When he was about to reach out and wipe it, he realized that he couldn't use the strength in his hands.
My whole body is numb, and my brain is also dizzy.
A big man with a grinning black face laughed and said, "Boy, you finally woke up, if you don't wake up, I'll tell you to fall asleep and go to see Hades." ”
"Guide, what nonsense are you still doing here! Do a good job to be seen and cause trouble for the lady...... After finishing the errand, I went to Gejia Village to find my sister, and my sister went to Xiangyun to get the money. Shuhuai realized that the woman in the green jacket was on the side just now, and she crossed her arms and shouted at the black-faced man.
"Sister, I know that I know, I know, you can go quickly, I'll look for you later!"
The black-faced man slaughtered Shuhuai's neckline as he spoke, and effortlessly held Shuhuai high in the air with one hand.
Shuhuai saw the appearance of the big man clearly, just like that woman. He has a dark face, long, slender eyes, and a tall, pointed nose.
Shuhuai's small hands and feet waved and struggled in the air.
The woman sneered, turned her head, and headed west.
The big man also smiled contemptuously, and the little shuhuai was like a chicken cub in his eyes, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
The big man cracked his stinky mouth, and smiled like a foul tooth, and the foul smell in his mouth caused Shuhuai to vomit for a while.
Smack-
A loud and ferocious slap came down, and the eyes of the shuhuai were full of stars, and the ears were ringing.
"Little cub, don't hate Lao Tzu when you get to the Netherworld, I just take people's money and eliminate disasters for others...... The ruthless light flashed in the eyes of the black-faced man, and then he picked up the short knife on his belt, and the hand holding the knife was raised high to make a stabbing momentum.
--
Lu Shutan just stopped in place for a while, wanting to go to the back of the line to find Shuhuai.
"Shutan, come here!" Liu Shi stood beside Lu Shiting and suddenly called out to her, waving his hand at her gently.
Lu Shiting also looked over here, his expression faint.
Liu seems to be extraordinarily enthusiastic about her today, like a real mother, actively reconciling the stiff father-daughter relationship.
But Lu Shutan only felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.
She walked over with her head down, walked up to the couple, leaned over shortly, and said stiffly, "Hello, master." ”
Mother-in-law Chunzhi stood in the middle of the crowd, her face was not good-looking, her mouth was closed as if to remind her to have rules, Lu Shutan lowered her eyes, it was not that she didn't want to shout, but those two words were like tens of millions of pounds of scales, so that she couldn't open her mouth.
Fortunately, Lu Shiting didn't care, he didn't say much, just made a perfunctory hum, and then turned to Liu Shi and said: "Hui Niang, Chang Yun was called by the prince a few days ago to discuss important matters, and he can't come back in the past few days...... Oh, yes! He pulled the cute little lady who was hiding behind him and introduced it to Liu--
"Hui Niang, this is Qinglian, her family is in the middle of the road, I saw her a few days ago......"
The little lady's eyebrows are like smoke, pink peach lips, and her eyes are like fine water.
Nana's figure walked up to Liu's, shyly leaned over to Liu's, and said softly, "I've seen Madame." ”
Everyone has never seen Madame's stinky face, a handsome face used to be as beautiful as a peony, but now it is like a wilted child, a few girls are secretly happy in their hearts, and they don't dare to look up but they also take their eyes and look up.
It was only a momentary change in his face, and then Liu Shi took Qinglian's hand with a smile, and asked for warmth left and right.
Seeing that she was a transparent person, Shu Tan wanted to grab Chunzhi's mother-in-law and ask her what she had just called, but she was stopped by Liu's family.
Liu's words today are unusual.
She walked over with a smile, and the thin lines were picked at the end of her eyes, looking delicate and loving: "Tan'er, go and call Shuhuai, he hasn't come to see your father yet." ”
"Hui Niang, what are you ...... Didn't I say don't let her get along with Shuhuai! Lu Shiting's face changed, and he whispered to the Liu clan in a gloomy voice.
"Tan'er is older, and her temperament is gentle, and besides, it's all a trivial matter between adults, how can it be blamed on an ignorant child! I regard Tan'er Shuhuai as my own, and I have to think about it carefully......"
Liu's hand gently patted Shutan's shoulder, and then praised Lu Shiting, "And I was busy today, and I couldn't take care of it for a while, and Tan'er helped me take care of it......"
"Okay, okay", it seems that he no longer wants to hear Liu's talk again, Lu Shiting turned around and engraved the vicissitudes of life, and said impatiently: "Go and call Huai'er, that little cub doesn't know to come down to see Lao Tzu!" ”
Lu Shutan also suddenly remembered that her younger brother was still waiting for her in the car behind, so she broke free of Liu's arm and ran back.
"Shuhuai!" Lu Shutan hurriedly ran to the side of the car, Shuhuai would be very happy if he knew that his father had arrived.
But it has been lively outside for so long, and Shuhuai can wait for her quietly in the carriage, what a little fool!
Shuhuai, Shuhuai!
Occasionally, Shutan's heart was pounding, and he was panicked.
The carriage was empty, the east of the city was wide and desolate, and Shutan was looking everywhere, and the girl with the face was missing!
The weather is really changeable, just now it was faintly like there was a sun, and now it is gloomy and a blizzard seems to have fallen.
A middle-aged servant hurriedly walked towards Lu Shiting, almost stumbling in a hurry.
Granny Harue looked up at the servant in shock, her head buzzing.
"What a word! How can a good person not see? Liu asked in a panicked voice.
"When the little girl and the scholar went to the carriage, they didn't see anyone inside, and I heard the girl say that there was a girl guarding the little master there."
"What about the girl?" Lu Shiting asked the middle-aged servant with a dark face.
"The little one didn't see a girl, so the girl was anxious to call the little one to tell the master."
"Where is Lu Shutan?" Lu Shiting suppressed his anger, and the raging anger pressed on him.
The servant knew that the old man was angry, and his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground, "The girl went around looking for it......"
"Then why don't you go and find it!" Lu Shiting roared angrily, raised his leg and kicked the servant hard.
Seeing this, the girls and little girls hurriedly scattered like birds and beasts, shouting everywhere to find someone.
The gloomy weather darkened faster than ever, and the eastern part of the city was desolate, with the occasional howl of a dog and a wolf.
Liu Shi touched his tears with a handkerchief, and whimpered: "It's all my fault, I was busy with some trivial things, I didn't look at Shuhuai well, I just thought that it would be all right to ask Tan'er to take care of my younger brother!" Tinglang, if something goes wrong with Shuhuai, you smoke me to death, and I won't be alive......"
Qinglian stood softly behind Lu Shiting, like a weak willow supporting the wind, and a pair of soft eyes stared at Liu with deep meaning.
"Madame, why bother to take everything on herself, it's Miss Shutan who wants to sit with the little master." Granny Jin Zhi stepped forward to comfort the Liu family, and then turned to kneel down towards Lu Shiting and said--
"Madame Shuxian is virtuous, regards the little young master as her own, and scolded the little young master a few words this morning, and the little young master didn't look very happy. The old slave thought that the girl Shutan often came to find the little master on weekdays, and the little master was only close to her, after all, blood was thicker than water, and the girl coaxed the little master to be happy, so let's be together! Who would have thought ......"
"Green lotus, don't say it again, it's all my fault, the master is right, I did something wrong, I am the woman's benevolence and dizzy for a while, so I asked Tan'er to take care of Shuhuai......" Liu burst into tears, and his eyes were red from crying.
"Father!" Lu Changyu couldn't get used to seeing his mother's weak and cowardly appearance, curled his eyes, and defended the Liu family: "Father, a few days ago, my mother didn't let Shutan and Shuhuai get close, but how can Shutan keep secretly looking for Shuhuai!" I've seen the girls around me several times......"
"Don't talk about it!" Lu Shiting was disturbed by Liu's crying and his head hurt, and he raised his voice and scolded, "It's getting dark, leave everything until Huai'er finds it......"
--
To the east of the city was a barren forest, with heavy snow on the bare branches.
"Shuhuai, Shuhuai!" Lu Shutan raised her head and shouted around, and all she answered was the sound of gusts of wind mixed with the sound of chatter.
It's been half an hour, and she hasn't found her brother yet, he's thin and thin, and it's getting dark, and there's a mist in her eyes.
"Come over a few people, the little master is here!" A deep, loud voice sounded not far away.
