With a "boom", the people sitting in the living room got up one after another, walked out of the living room in twos and threes, and walked towards the backyard. Fastest updates

When passing by the back hall, Cao Xiaohui saw Yan Shasha holding the cradle with both hands, carefully following behind Luo Zhigao and Sun, and couldn't help but run forward, gently lifted the thin quilt covering the cradle, and looked at the sleeping baby.

"I said Sister Cao, you like children so much, why don't you hurry up and find someone to marry and give birth to one yourself?" , Shi Ning leaned over to Cao Xiaohui and whispered.

"I want you to talk more!" , Cao Xiaohui pursed her lips, raised her hand and was about to fight, so frightened that Shi Ning rushed out.

The ancestral hall in the backyard is built quite majestic, it looks like a small hall from the outside, there are several spiritual tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall, the incense burner in front of the spiritual plaque is full of cigarette smoke, the light in the whole ancestral hall is relatively dim, a row of candles are lit on the left and right sides, under the reflection of the candlelight, the ancestral hall appears more quiet and serene.

After entering the ancestral hall, everyone quieted down, the huge hall became silent, there were five futons on the ground in front of the incense burner, in front of the futons were three rows of wooden chairs, everyone sat down quietly on the first two rows of wooden chairs, Yan Shasha sat alone on the last row of chairs, and gently placed the cradle in her arms on the chair next to her.

Luo Binghua and his wife Liu, as well as Luo Zhigao and his wife, Luo Binghua stood in the middle, and the rest of the people lined up left and right, kneeling down on the futon together.

After three bows and nine knocks, and after the incense, Luo Binghua took out a piece of paper from his bosom and read it out loud: "The ancestors of the Luo family are above, and Luo Binghua, the descendant of the unworthy family, is below......"

Everyone listened quietly, no one made a little movement, after Luo Binghua finished reading the sacrifice, he turned around, and said loudly with a solemn and solemn face: "The eighth-generation descendant of the Luo family, Luo Baixiang, has officially begun!" ”

"Whoa!" At this time, there was a slight applause from the crowd watching the ceremony.

"Now please ask Luo Baixiang, the eighth generation descendant of the Luo family, to come forward to worship the ancestors and offer incense!" , Luo Binghua said loudly.

At this time, Yan Shasha, who was sitting in the last row, stood up, bent down and picked up the cradle on the chair next to her, slowly stepped forward, and gently handed the cradle into Luo Binghua's hands.

Luo Binghua hugged the cradle and gently lifted the thin quilt covering the cradle, and suddenly, Luo Binghua's face changed suddenly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"What's going on?" , Nie Xiaohu, who was sitting in the front row, noticed that Luo Binghua's face was wrong, stood up suddenly, and walked to his side.

"It's... What's going on? ”

Luo Binghua said in a trembling voice: "Child! Where's the kid?! ”

Nie Xiaohu frowned, and immediately reached out and lifted the quilt on the cradle, and in the cradle was a small bag of corn, and the child was gone!

Hearing Luo Binghua's shout, Luo Zhigao and his wife also hurried over, when they saw the situation in the cradle, Sun immediately fainted, Luo Zhigao hurriedly held it, Luo Binghua's wife Liu was also shocked, her body shook, and she almost fainted.

At this time, the people who came to watch the ceremony began to become restless, and the mood of impatience and restlessness enveloped the entire ancestral hall.

"Quiet!" , Shi Ning shouted, the crowd suddenly quieted down, Mao Guangjian and Liu Zhenxiao didn't need Nie Xiaohu's orders, the two immediately walked to the gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Nie Xiaohu didn't pay attention to others, but stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from the cradle, Cao Xiaohui also walked over at this time, and the two looked carefully by candlelight.

"Luo Binghua, if you want your grandson to return safely, put that golden Arhat in a black wooden box and send it to the ferry boat at Jingren Ferry today, otherwise you will never want to see your grandson again!" , the handwriting on the paper is sloppy, the dragon is flying and the phoenix is dancing, obviously deliberate.

"Someone kidnapped Luo Baixiang!" , Cao Xiaohui said with a frown.

"My lord, look at this ......", Luo Binghua was so anxious that his brain was sweating, and he kept spinning in place.

"On the way here, I also took a look at the baby, when did the kidnapper drop the bag? How is this possible? Cao Xiaohui shook her head again and again.

"On the way from the inner hall to here, the cradle can never be dropped, it can only be here!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a serious face.

"I... I really don't know what's going on, the baby has always been by my side, how could it be...", Yan Shasha was so anxious that she burst into tears.

"Is there anyone outside the door?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Yes!" , Luo Binghua hurriedly shouted at the door, "Come to Fu, come in, come in!" ”

"Yes, sir!" With two promises, two male servants walked in outside the door.

"Have you two ever seen anyone go out?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"No, my lord," the two of them shook their heads together.

"The two of us have been standing outside the door, and no one has gone out since you came in," said Laifu.

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then shouted to everyone in the house, "Please cooperate, we are going to search the ancestral hall now!" ”

Everyone had no objections, and stood aside very consciously in accordance with the arrangement, Shi Ning, Mao Guangjian and others began to conduct a carpet search in all corners of the ancestral hall, but found nothing.

"Outside Luo, can there be a tunnel, a secret door or something like that in the ancestral hall?"

"No, there is only one entrance and exit in the entire ancestral hall," Luo Binghua shook his head.

Nie Xiaohu looked up at the flat ceiling above, the ceiling was made of long wooden planks, and the corner of Nie Xiaohu's eyes moved: "Little stone, go up and look at the mezzanine layer of the roof!" ”

"Understood!"

Shi Ning and the others immediately walked out of the ancestral hall and came outside, circled around the ancestral hall, and found that there was a window on the north side of the roof, and there happened to be a wooden ladder under the root of the wall not far away.

"Tiger head, there's nothing in the mezzanine!" , Shi Ning shook his head and said.

"Let's go back to the living room first, everyone goes!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand.

When everyone left the ancestral hall, they were silent, consciously lined up, and walked towards the living room.

At this time, a person walked in from the gate of the courtyard, it was Yan Shasha's husband Hu Wanquan, I saw him carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and was about to walk towards the backyard, when he saw the people marching slowly in a line, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he saw Yan Shasha who was still crying at the end, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Lady, what's wrong? What's wrong with you? Hu Wanquan asked in a whisper, his eyes full of concern.

"Child... The child is lost! Yan Shasha said with a sob.

"What? Lost your child? How did you lose it? Hu Wanquan's face was full of surprise.

"Where are you from?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Hu Wanquan and asked.

"Oh, the villain just finished sending off the guests and rushed back from the Jingren Ferry, isn't this just going to the backyard to repair the ancestral hall, the tools are all brought!" , Hu Wanquan looked down at the cloth bag in his hand and said.

"Wanquan, don't repair the ancestral hall yet, let's talk about it later!" , Luo Binghua waved his hand weakly.
