Chapter 453: Human Traffickers Reappear

At this time, Liu Heizi came out of the backyard, and when he heard about it, he jumped three feet high, and immediately wanted to go to the market with Aoki, and Chrysanthemum persuaded him.

Aoki also said: "Uncle Liu, I'll just go." Besides, I'm not going alone, I'll tell the village chief about this later, it's better to go with Changyu, that manpower is enough. ”

Liu Heizi said happily: "You have all read the book, and I will say that it is natural and appropriate to help Doctor Qin, and I will not make trouble." I'm also busy at home, so I'll help collect the chili peppers. ”

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "Uncle Liu, there are enough people who collect chili peppers, but there are fewer counts, and I will count and settle accounts on behalf of my brother." The man in the family is not there, and the father-in-law is busy, so you have to stay in the yard to take care of it. There are many people who come to sell chili peppers, and they are also very miscellaneous, and the portal must be optimistic, and the baby must be optimistic. ”

Liu Heizi's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Aoki also said, "Be careful. Mother, you stay here with the gourd, there are a lot of people over there. ”

After another admonition, Aunt Liu helped Xiaojing'er take a bath and change into clean clothes, and then Aoki took them there.

As soon as Aoki left, Chrysanthemum went out to help harvest the peppers.

She sat inside the courtyard gate, which covered her body. Uncle Ma weighed the peppers outside the courtyard, and every time he weighed a basket or a basket, he shouted, and the chrysanthemums were recorded, and then the money was counted.

After Zheng Changhe paid the money, he carried the chili pepper in with Zhang Dazhuan and sent it to the wing room in the backyard, and then returned the guy to the family and took the next one.

Sometimes there are few people, and a few people can take a break and drink saliva and talk; Sometimes there are so many people that it's busy.

After another dozen people were sent away, Chrysanthemum just let out a breath when she heard someone shouting outside: "Have you seen my loach?" ”

Uncle Ma replied strangely: "Loach? Didn't see it. No one comes to sell loaches, they all come to sell chili peppers......"

Xiaoxiu shouted anxiously: "Uncle, it's not a loach, it's a human." My baby is gone, and someone sees him coming this way. Don't you see? More than a year old. So tall—" she gestured at her waist—"it's a boy." ”

Chrysanthemum "chuckled" in her heart, hurriedly ran out of the yard, and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

Xiaoxiu saw her and looked stunned. But he was quickly replaced by a hurry, saying, "It's been a while." I went to the thatched house, and his little aunt was cooking in the kitchen, and when I came out, the baby was gone. I asked someone, and I said I saw it coming this way......"

Chrysanthemum felt very bad, and said in a deep voice: "You hurry up and look for it, and let the family come out to find it." He turned his face to Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan who came out of the backyard. Dad, hurry up and help find the baby - Xiaoxiu's loach is gone. He's so big, he shouldn't be going far, so look around first. ”

Zheng Changhe and the others were startled, asked two more questions, and hurriedly went to find them separately with Zhang Dashui; Xiaoxiu also trotted, shouting and looking around.

Chrysanthemum's heart was beating wildly, and she was strongly uneasy. went back to Zhang's house and called Xiao Heipi out, and asked him to go to Liu's house and Zhou's house first to call someone to find the baby, and then go to the mountain. Look at the Wang family and the Wu family, if there are any men there, call one or two people to come over to help, and say that they can't be busy collecting chili peppers.

turned his head and instructed Liu Heizi to close the courtyard door, ask Grape and Grandma Liu to take care of the baby, and also told the Yang family.

Liu Heizi nodded heavily and agreed, and after Heipi left, he closed the courtyard door.

After a while, Zhou Xiaozi and Zhou Xiaoman, Liu Da Fat and Liu Sanshun all hurried over. It happened that Xiaoxiu couldn't find her son, so she turned her head in despair, crying and shouting "loach" in a sad voice, and when she saw Uncle Ma, she grabbed his arm and said, "Sister-in-law Qiang said that I saw him come over here." Didn't you see? Why didn't you see it? ”

Uncle Ma said gloomily: "I was busy weighing chili peppers, and I didn't look to the side." ”

Chrysanthemum's mind flashed, remembering something, so fast that she couldn't catch it.

I heard Liu Sanshun ask Xiaoxiu when his son was lost.

Xiaoxiu cried and told the matter again, Uncle Ma said again that he was busy weighing chili peppers and did not see the little baby, hearing that the faces of the Liu family and his son turned black, and the Zhou family and his son were also stunned.

Suddenly, Liu Da Fat Man jumped to his feet and waved his hand and shouted: "Hurry up and find it!" Can crying bring the baby back? ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly said: "My father and father-in-law also went to look for it, but they haven't come back yet." ”

Liu Sanshun's round face was tense, and he turned around and ran towards the village road, just as Zhang Dazhuan hurriedly came over, and the two asked each other in unison: "Did you find it?" ”

Zhou Xiaozi and Liu Fatzi also greeted and asked.

Zhang Dazhuan said anxiously: "I asked all the way to the old village, and they all said that I didn't see it." ”

As he was talking, Zheng Changhe trotted over from the river, and saw that everyone was asking around Zhang Dazhuan, knowing that the baby had not been found, and took the initiative to say: "I searched along the river, but I didn't see it." Meizi said that she was just washing clothes by the river, and she didn't see the baby passing. ”

Everyone's faces darkened, and after a moment of silence, they seemed to be frozen. The autumn wind blew, blowing off a few yellowish willow leaves, fluttering and falling on people, which was extremely desolate.

A man carrying a burden came over on the village road, and another chili seller came over.

I don't know when, the women of the Liu family and the women of the Zhou family also rushed over, and the villagers also gathered around and talked in a low voice; Liu Yunlan and Chrysanthemum's grandmother Wang heard the noise outside, and they also came out to ask Chrysanthemum; Even the Yang family and the He family came out from the Zhang family to inquire.

Watching the man who was carrying the burden gradually walk in, Chrysanthemum had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "The one who sells chili peppers." ”

At the same time, the little sister also shouted: "Didn't the person who sold the chili pepper take it away, right?" ”

Liu Fatzi said uncertainly: "What are the people who sell chili peppers doing with their babies?" I'm afraid he won't be able to support his own children! ”

Xiao Xiuniang also came to her senses and screamed, "If it's a human trafficker? What if the traffickers pretended to be selling chili peppers and stole the baby? My grandson, alas! I'm not alive anymore. As he spoke, he sat on the ground, beating his chest and crying.

Chrysanthemum had already determined that the problem was probably with the person who sold the chili pepper just now, and was about to tell them, hurry up and ask someone, Xiaoxiu suddenly stopped crying, rushed over from the side, and screamed at her: "It's all you!" It's all a good thing done by your family, what kind of peppers do you want to collect, recruit some messy people into the village, and attract human traffickers. You pay my loaches. ”

Chrysanthemum turned her head suddenly, looking at this woman who had always been gentle as water in disbelief, and her heart sank little by little.

Xiaoxiu's face was full of tears, she raised her hand and wiped a handful of tears with the back of her hand, stared at her stubbornly and said, "What's wrong?" Don't dare to squeak? If it weren't for your family collecting chili peppers, where would there be such a mess of people? Do traffickers dare to enter the village? As soon as he entered the village, the people paid attention to him. Now among the people who sell chili peppers, no one asks......"

Zhang Dazhuan and Zheng Changhe shouted: "How can you blame us for this? We don't know he's a human trafficker. It's just that the tone is very shrunken and reluctant.

The Yang family and the He family were also about to step forward to speak, and Liu Yunlan preemptively said: "Who blames our family, and your relatives won't come to the door?" If human traffickers pretend to be relatives, who knows? Could it be that you know all the relatives and friends of the village? ”

Xiao Xiuniang got up, snorted at her, and said, "Can that be compared?" Come one or two, people remember it really, and it is easy to find; With so many people selling chili peppers, coming and going, who to go to? It's not that your baby is lost, of course you don't feel distressed. ”

Liu Yunlan was about to speak, but Chrysanthemum grabbed her, shook her head at her, and looked around the crowd, with an expression of agreement on her face.

Liu Fatzi has always had a close relationship with the Zhang family and the Zheng family, and besides, the daughter is happy to marry, and the two families are still relatives, but although he and the little sister did not come forward to question, the sad and sad look revealed their thoughts, and it was the same as what the daughter-in-law thought.

Zhou Xiaozi was also silent.

He is also an old friend with Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan, even the two families who quarreled so fiercely with him for the matter of his nephew and daughter-in-law (Xiaonian daughter-in-law) a few years ago did not let him have a gap in his heart, and he still had intimate relations with them after that, but now he is confused.

Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan looked guilty and ashamed, as if the baby was really lost because they collected chili peppers.

Someone whispered again: "I'm afraid that Chrysanthemum killed their people, and people came to the door to take revenge, and they originally wanted to kidnap the babies of the Zhang family and the Zheng family, but when they saw the loach, they took it away." ”

Although these words were light, everyone still heard them, it was no less than lighting a fire, Xiaoxiu immediately rushed up to fight with Chrysanthemum, and Xiaoxiuniang reached out to push Liu Yunlan.

Chrysanthemum was shocked, stood in front of Liu Yunlan, and pushed Xiao Xiuniang to a stumbling position; Liu Sanshun also grabbed Xiaoxiu.

Xiaoxiu saw Chrysanthemum pushing her mother, Sanshun grabbed herself again, she couldn't help but feel a lot of pain in her heart, and asked Sanshun with a sad face: "You help her?" ”

Liu Sanshun wrapped his arms around his daughter-in-law's shoulders and said a little gloomy: "Xiu, don't blame people for this. Let's go find the baby. ”

Xiao Xiuniang twisted Chrysanthemum's arm angrily, and shouted, "Where can I find it?" People have taken away, where can I find them? Ask them to pay for it. ”

He, Yang, and Wang were of course not happy to see her twisting the chrysanthemum, so they all came forward to break her hands; Niuniu helped Liu Yunlan, and Liu Yunlan dragged the chrysanthemum back; Aunt Ma saw that the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yang family had big bellies and were caught in the crowd, so she was so frightened that something would happen, so she rushed up to support the Yang family, and shouted that Niuniu would help the young grandmother.

In the chaos, Zheng Changhe, Zhou Xiaozi and others stepped forward to stop drinking, Zheng Changhe hurriedly asked Wang, Aunt Ma and Niuniu to help Yang and Liu Yunlan into the courtyard, and asked Uncle Ma to guard the door and prevent them from coming out again.

Some people who hated the Zhang family pouted and said: "There are many people, and I want to bully people." ”

Xiaoxiu resolutely pushed Liu Sanshun away, and said with a desperate face: "Of course you don't blame her, you like her the most, why do you blame her?" Don't worry, if the loaches can't be found, I'll die here, so it's an eyesore. ”

After speaking, he sat down at the gate of Zhang's house, and sat to death.
