I was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”

"Didn't I say it before, Shang Weimin is dead, in a person's belly. I thought I couldn't find his body, but I didn't expect it to be in the child's belly - he seemed to have been eaten by the child! ”

The two of us hurriedly ran towards the courtyard of the Zhu family, and Hua Fei asked me as she ran: "How slow is this, do you want me to take you to 'jump' over?" ”

"Don't! In broad daylight, let's jump a few more times and be seen by the whole town! ”

"Hey, it's hard, can we dance together that night?"

"Stop talking, hurry up!" I said breathlessly.

"I could have been fast, but I wasn't here to accompany you." She said aggrievedly.

The two of us turned several alleys in a row before rushing to the Zhu family's house, because there was only one old man living alone, so the courtyard gate of the Zhu family was still two old wooden doors, but surprisingly, there was still a red lacquered old iron lock hanging on this door.

"Was this door locked from the outside when we were there?" I asked.

"I don't know, didn't we just jump and fly away, who paid attention to this." Hua Hu still looked a little unhappy.

"If it's locked before jumping away, it means that the kid is still in the yard, let's jump in and have a look!"

"You just said you wouldn't jump with me, and you scolded me, huh." Hua Hu can't do anything else, but it's faster than anyone else to learn a little girl to pretend to be wronged.

"Oh, the time and occasion are different! While there's no one, let's jump! ”

"No, you just don't look down on me, you don't treat me well, huh."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will make amends to you, let's go in and have a look, or the kid will probably run away."

"It's not okay to make amends, you have to kiss me." She looked at me with a coquettish pout.

"Okay." I had to lean down and kiss her on the cheek gently, Hua Huan burst into tears and smiled, but her face quickly sank again, and I saw that she was holding something in her hand, which was Xu Chuyue's enamel bracelet, and I always forgot to return it to her.

"This is the woman's?!" Hua Fei looked at me with angry eyebrows.

"No, no, no." I quickly explained the origin of the bracelet, but she relentlessly shoved it back into her pocket.

"Then let's go." She said.

Before I could react, I stood in the courtyard of the Zhu family again with a "whoosh".

The yard was empty, and I walked to the place where the child was standing, and there was a layer of green moss growing on the back, and when I squatted down to look closely, I could see the marks of being trampled on the ground. It doesn't seem that we were dazzled by the ringing ears just now, but that the kid was indeed here.

I looked around the yard again, and although the fence was old, it was still high, and there was nothing to climb or trample on next to the wall, so if the outer door was locked, the child would not have been able to slip out of the yard in this short time.

Since I wasn't discharged from the hospital, it must be in the house!

I gave Hua Hu a look, and Hua Hu immediately understood what I meant. The two of us walked towards the north room of the Zhu family one after the other.

Unlike the old house of the Kui family in front, the Zhu family only has three low north rooms. When we walked to the door, we found that there was only a latch hanging on the door, and the door was not locked - in fact, many villagers here are like this, often locking the courtyard door, so that others know that there is no one at home and will not run in, so there is no need to add a second lock to the door. So we just pushed open the door and walked in.

The furnishings of the Zhu family's house are simpler, and the ground is still paved with red bricks, so it is still a little uneven compared with the cement floor. We walked around each of the three rooms, and Hua Ping Pong opened all the cabinets around him, but he still found no trace of the child.

My heart trembled, so it seems that things are a bit mysterious - the old man of the Zhu family is not in good health and has a disability, why did he lock the door and go out today? And I hadn't heard that he had grandchildren before, so how could that fish-faced child appear in his yard? Where did the kid go now? Could it be that the child found the two of us, and then told the old man of the Zhu family, and the old man of the Zhu family took him to quickly lock the door and escape?

Just as I was pondering this series of questions, there was a sudden sound of rustling at the courtyard gate, and it sounded like someone was unlocking the lock there—someone must have returned!

Hua Hu glanced at me, and I was surprised to find that I could instantly understand her eyes. The two of us hurried out of the house, and then Hua grabbed me and jumped back onto the roof.

The door of Zhu's courtyard was pushed open suddenly, and a middle-aged man hunched over the threshold of a wheelchair, on which was a trembling old man, and then the middle-aged man pushed the wheelchair to the other side of the house.

It seemed that this old man was the owner of the yard. I was wondering who the middle-aged man was, when he stood in front of the door and suddenly spoke.

"Who is it lately, always running in and sliding the door to pick the lock, a lonely old man lives, it's worth three days and two ends!"

When Hua Hu and I ran into the courtyard just now, we forgot to fasten the latch of the door as it was, and he must have noticed something unusual before saying this. However, it can be heard from his words that outsiders have not come in the courtyard of the Zhu family once or twice.

He pushed open the door a little angrily, then walked to the wheelchair again, squatted down and shouted into the ear of the old man of the Zhu family: "Second uncle, this plastic bag contains baked cakes, and this plastic bottle contains white water, you will deal with it and eat it today." I've got a little bit of business, so I'll come back tomorrow. ”

"Oooh." I heard the old man of the Zhu family answer. It seems that this middle-aged man is the nephew of the old man of the Zhu family.

My nephew pushed the wheelchair into the room, and I heard him tinkering inside for a while, and then he walked out swearing.

"At such an old age, and still old and sick, who has time to serve every day."

He grumbled and pushed open the courtyard door, and then hurried away.

"Do you hear that?" I said to Hua Fei, "This old man seems to have gone to see a doctor in the morning, and the child must have taken this opportunity to sneak into the courtyard." ”

"And then?" Hua asked him.

"The courtyard gate is locked again, and the courtyard wall is so high. So do you say that he hasn't escaped yet, and is still hiding in the Zhu family? ”

"No, this wall is so low, it will come in as soon as you jump." She said disapprovingly.

"Please, humans aren't like you asuras, who bounce like super rabbits." I reminded her.

"Well, what you say makes sense." She held her cheeks and looked at me with two big cute eyes, "But my dear, have you thought about it, since the Zhu family went to the hospital in the morning, then they must have locked the courtyard door - since that child can appear in the Zhu family's courtyard after locking, then he may also use the same passage to go out, so why do you have to stay in this exposed courtyard?" ”
