"You ......"

Xia Huai clenched his fists, and really wanted to give this official a punch.

But because I asked him, I could only swallow this breath in my stomach.

"Boy, do you give it or not?"

"No." Xia Huai gritted his teeth.

The official looked at him playfully, "Yo, it turns out that your brother is not as good as a beast in your heart." ”

Xia Huai couldn't help listening to the insult of the servant, and was about to have a seizure, but saw a flash of black in front of him.

In the flash of light, the official flew out and fell to the ground.

Xia Huai was stunned, and turned his head to search, wanting to see who had taken this breath for him.

No one?

What the hell?

was in doubt, but heard a heavy snort next to him.

He turned his head and saw his donkey glaring at the servant with a look of contempt.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that the official might have been kicked away by the donkey.

Xia Huai looked at it uncertainly, and called the name Xia Yan gave it for the first time, "Xiao Hei, you did it." ”

Xiao Hei raised his head and snorted again as if to show off.

"Is it really you?" Xia Huai felt incredulous.

Blackie gave him a roll of his eyes, shook his ears and turned his head away from him.

Is this despised by a donkey?

Looking at Xiao Hei's vivid and rich micro-expressions that people can understand at a glance, Xia Huai's heart unconsciously had an idea: What kind of world is this, even donkeys have become essences!

Just when Xia Huai's attention was on Xiao Hei, a wail came.

"Oops!"

Only then did he remember that the official who had been kicked away by Xiao Hei was still lying on the ground at the moment.

Xia Huai hurriedly walked over, "Big brother, are you okay, my little black is not sensible, don't be like him." Come, I'll pull you up. ”

The official waved away Xia Huai's hand, bared his teeth, covered his chest and pointed at Xiao Hei, "I'm going to make up my mind about this beast, if I don't peel it and cramp it, I only hate it in my heart." If you don't give it to me today, don't even think about stepping into the door of the county government! ”

Looking at the dead face of the servant, Xia Huai put away what little patience he had left, and looked at the servant coldly, "The beast eats the grain and grass given by the master, and the master knows to protect the master when something happens." And you, as a servant of the government, lead the county government, but you can't do things for the county lord, aren't you even as good as a beast. ”

"You're looking for death! Don't try to go back alive today! The official shouted loudly, "Brothers, come out for me to teach this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky." Let him see who is in charge here, and kill him to have donkey meat to eat tonight. ”

"Who are you going to kill?" The door of the county government was opened, and a young man with a gloomy face walked out, "I really didn't know who was in charge here, it turned out to be you." ”

"County ...... The county lord, the villain...... The villain ......" The official was speechless by the sudden voice.

The newly appointed county magistrate is gentle and elegant on weekdays, loves the people like a son, smiles affectionately at everyone, no one has ever seen him lose his temper, in addition to sitting in the hall on weekdays, he is nesting in the back office to read and write, really ignoring things outside the window, and only reading sage books.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, but this county master has been in Qin County for a few days, and he hasn't even burned a fire.

A good old man, so much so that the officials in the yamen think that he is a soft persimmon and can be handled at will.

Eat and take cards at will, gather crowds to gamble, as long as they are not discovered by him.

It's really a coincidence today, because it's too cold to sleep well, so the county magistrate got up early in the morning, and if he wanted to move his muscles and bones, he was spinning around in the yamen.

I happened to walk near the gate and heard the conversation between Xia Huai and the officer.

It turned out that his trust in them was exchanged for this result.

The few officials he caught just now who gambled on Xing and even dared to scold himself had already made him angry, but he didn't expect that there was an even more excessive one outside.

Just to report a case, they dare to ask for twenty taels, how much do they have a month?

It is no wonder that the people here have a kind of hatred for themselves when they see that they have been cut off, and it turns out that they are all disturbed by this group of rats.

It seems that it's time to change the character of this good old man.

The county magistrate snorted coldly, "This little brother is right, you are indeed not as good as a brute." Since you don't want to get up, never get up. Someone came, and put him in prison with fifty boards. ”

"Don't, adults, get up small." The official endured the pain in his chest, knelt on his knees, moved to the county magistrate little by little, and prayed: "The villain will not dare anymore, please forgive me." ”

"What are you doing in a daze, do you want to go to the board?"

The servant trembled, prostrate on the ground, grabbed the county master's feet and begged for mercy, "I still hope that the adults will look at the face of the villain's mother, wife and children, let the villain go, they can't lose me." Villain...... The villain apologized to the little brother. ”

"It's late." The county magistrate shook him off, "Those people who have been blackmailed by you, have you ever considered whether they have old mothers, wives and children to support?" ”

"Your Excellency...... Your Excellency ......" The voice of the servant begging for mercy grew farther and farther until it could no longer be heard.

The county master looked at Xia Huai with a guilty face, "This little brother, I'm really sorry, I blame me for disciplining my subordinates and letting you see a joke." ”

Finally seeing the main master, Xia Huai refused to talk to him more nonsense, quickly explained his intention to him, and looked at him with burning eyes.

The county magistrate thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, "I'll send someone to find it, and if there is news, I will let someone notify you immediately." ”

Xia Huai's dusty appearance made the county magistrate who loved the people like a son a little distressed, "You are a little child, you have suffered for running so far on such a cold day, it is better to live in my county government for the time being, and eat some hot food to warm up your body." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have to rush home to accompany my mother and sister." He saluted the county lord and drove the donkey cart in the direction of his house.

The villagers of Bianxi Village searched for a whole night but found no trace of Mu Fan.

"Hey, Yan'er, we searched the whole village, but we didn't see that child." Li Zheng looked at Xia Yan, who hadn't slept for two days in a row and was so haggard that he couldn't do it, and he was extremely distressed.

Xia Yan's lips pursed and he didn't say a word.

"Don't bother yourself, get some sleep first. I'm afraid that kid ......" Li Zheng suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth, and immediately kept silent.

But at this time, Xia Yan's whole heart was focused on finding Mu Fan, where would he let go of these details.

She looked at Li Zheng with a pleading gaze, "I'm afraid what?" Grandpa Lizheng tell me quickly, I can bear it. ”

"Hey." Li Zheng couldn't wait to slap himself, why was his mouth so fast, saying that he was hiding it from her.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he paused for a moment, sorted out his words, and said, "We found two blood stains at the entrance of the village and in the woods outside the village. There were obvious signs of a fight all around, and the kid ...... I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck. ”

Xia Yan only felt a roar in his ears, like thunder, the blood and qi in his heart surged, and he fainted in front of him.

When she woke up, she saw Yan and Xia Huai sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her with worried faces.

"Yan'er, are you awake, are you hungry?" Xia Huai saw Xia Yan wake up, and the panic in his chest was a little less.

"Brother, is there any news?" Xia Yan, who woke up, didn't care about anything else, and asked weakly and anxiously.

"Nope." He sighed, "You have been in a coma for three days, and the big brothers of the county government have already searched all the places they can find on the Wubi Mountain, and there are still some dangerous places left, and people can't enter at all, so give up." ”

Hearing Xia Huai's answer, Xia Yan's heart felt as if it was torn apart, and even though she closed her eyes, the tears still remained unconsciously.

Time seemed to stand still, and there was no sound to be heard in the room.

"No, I'm not going to give up." Xia Yan opened his eyes violently, and sat up from the bed with his weak body, "It must be that they didn't look carefully, it's impossible to find such a big person." ”

I didn't even bother to put on my shoes, so I hurriedly walked outside the house, "I'm going to look for it on the foggy mountain again." ”

"You come back to me!" Xia Huai pulled her arm, "Are you crazy?" Look at what kind of weather it is outside now, the snow covers the mountain, and the foggy mountain has long been unable to enter! ”

His face turned red in a hurry, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop his sister, so he couldn't help but reprimand, "More than a dozen officials haven't been able to find him, what's the use of a little girl of a few years old?" Everyone is already anxious, what kind of mess are you giving us! Don't even think of going out of this door today! ”

Xia Yan didn't listen to Xia Huai's words, her eyes were already dilated at the moment, and she relied on a trace of obsession to support her.

She just wanted to find Mu Fan as soon as possible, although she was being dragged by the arm, she kept struggling forward.

"Didn't you hear me? Xia Yan! Xia Yan! Xia Huai grabbed her shoulder and shook it fiercely, "Come to your senses!" ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she shook off his hand and turned to run out the door.

Before she could run a few steps, she was grabbed by the arm of Xia Huai, who was quick-eyed, "Xia Yan, believe it or not, I dare to beat you!" ”

"Let go of me, I'm going!"

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Xia Yan's pale face immediately turned red, and the room instantly fell silent.

Xia Huai was stunned, he just wanted to scare Yan'er, but he wasn't ready to do it, this slap ......

He turned his head and saw the equally weak Yan with tears in his eyes, looking at Xia Yan with a distressed face, "Yan'er, this is not the time for you to be willful, do you want your mother to lose even you?" ”

"Ahhhh............h

"Yan'er didn't cry, it's my mother's fault, my mother hurt you." Yan took Xia Yan in his arms in distress, regretted and blamed himself, and gently touched her face, "Mother will never beat Yan'er again in the future, Yan'er won't cry." ”

"Ahh......h It's not that the face hurts, it's the heart hurts. Xia Yan hugged Yan's waist tightly, crying breathlessly, "It's all my fault, I killed Mu Fan, I shouldn't have quarreled with him, I shouldn't have scolded him, I shouldn't have driven him away...... Ahh ”
