Chapter 237: Ye He and Cao'er are missing
"Man'er, you're back." As soon as she entered the door, Fang Shi greeted her, her eyes were red, and her fingers were cold.
"What's wrong?" When Liu Man'er saw Fang's appearance, she couldn't care about the sadness in her heart, she held Fang's hand tightly, and said with concern: "Mother, are you not feeling well or what's wrong?" I said I should have let you come back sooner. ”
"I'm fine." As soon as Fang opened his mouth, tears fell like raindrops, Liu Man'er was even more shocked when she saw her like this, she wondered if she had also seen Ye Yuan, so she asked tentatively, "Did you see him too?" ”
As if he hadn't heard Liu Man'er's words, Fang was still crying.
Liu Man'er became more and more puzzled, so she looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Feng'er, what happened?" ”
"Sister-in-law......" Ye Feng also had red eyes, and said, "Xiaohe and Sister Cao'er haven't come back yet!" ”
As soon as Ye Feng's words came out, Fang lowered his head with self-blame, they were still two little girls, how could she let them look for Ye Tianchen alone, she was really blinded by lard at that time, and now that such a thing happened, she really regretted it.
Just heard the footsteps outside, Fang thought it was Ye He and the two of them who came back, but when they went out, they saw Liu Man'er, now that the sky is bright, Ye He and the two of them are not children like Ye Tianchen, they will fall asleep halfway, they haven't come back yet, something must have happened.
The Fang clan didn't dare to think about what they would find out when Ye He and the others disappeared, she could only cry helplessly.
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Liu Man'er was also worried, when she was looking for Ye Tianchen before, although she said two words about Fang's family, she didn't take it to heart, so she didn't look for it, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"How so?" Is this her natal year? But it's obviously not, why did all the unlucky things come together, do you think she wasn't worried enough today?
"Mistress, the water is coming." By the time the maid came over with hot water, Liu Man'er's already pale face had now turned pale.
Seeing that Liu Man'er was speechless for a long time, Ye Feng on the side said, "Put it there." Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was not good, the maid did not say much, and quietly retreated.
Liu Manermu was in place, but Liu Fusheng said, "Sister, don't worry about it first, you have worked hard all day today, wash your face, soak your feet, and then we will look for it, we will definitely find it!" ”
Liu Man'er nodded and sat down, just stretched out her hand, intending to soak her frozen red fingers, but when her fingertips touched the hot water, she suddenly shook her head again: "No! ”
"Someone, bring me my horse, and bring me a pair of bearskin gloves." Liu Man'er stood up and walked out as he commanded.
Even if Ye Tianchen is missing, Liu Man'er will not have such worries, after all, Ye Tianchen is good-looking and a male baby, at most he was abducted and trafficked to the mountain village to be a son for others, but Ye He and Cao'er, two little girls, look like flowers and jade, and they are young, who knows what kind of harm they will suffer.
Maybe they will be sold to the Qinglou, this ancient eleven or twelve-year-old marriage is a big thing, in the Qinglou, if they swear to the death, it is also very likely to be forced by others, if Ye He and Cao'er are hurt, Liu Man'er will definitely not be able to forgive herself!
Although there was no curfew last night, everyone also watched the lights at the city gate, but in the second half of the night, the city gate was still closed, and when Ye He and the two looked for Ye Tianchen, the city gate had just been closed, so she had to hurry to the city gate, otherwise, if the gangsters sent Ye He and the two outside the city, unless she had the method to reach the sky, otherwise, she would be powerless.
Ye He, Cao'er, I will definitely protect you!
Walking out of the door, the horse was ready, Liu Man'er turned over and got on the horse, and said to Ye Feng and the others who came out together: "I'll go to the city gate now, Ye Feng, you work hard, call two people to go to Xihua Gate, Uncle Han, please take two people to Nanhua Gate, Uncle Quan, you take two people to report to the official." ”
This Fengyang County is a big city, there are four gates in the east and west, north and south, the north gate is only built for the feng shui in the city, if it is not necessary, the city gate will not be opened, the Nanhua gate will be opened on weekdays, but this New Year's holiday, Liu Man'er does not know, but for the sake of insurance, it is better to ask someone to take a look.
The city gate that Liu Man'er went to was the east gate, but when the whole city was under martial law, only this door would be opened, and the Xihua Gate was also always open, so she let Ye Feng go.
As for going to the official, it's actually useless, how can the government let people help you find someone for the New Year.
However, it is a big deal that someone is missing, and it is good to let the government know, not to mention, money can make ghosts grind, if it can't be found at the city gate, Liu Man'er will use the power of the government.
While thinking about this, Liu Man'er rushed out on horseback, hunting for the cold wind, even if she was wearing a cloak, it was still cold, and the cold wind mixed with fine snowflakes smashed on her face like ice blades, stabbing her skin painfully.
However, she didn't care about these, she was worried about the safety of Ye He and Cao'er.
Dressed in hunting, her eyes were round, her eyes were red, the sound of firecrackers in the city, the people were celebrating the New Year, but Liu Man'er was in dire straits.
The horse galloped like an arrow off the string, but this speed Liu Man'er was still a little slow, she had to at least make sure that Ye He and the others were still in the city to find it, so her speed must be faster.
Fortunately, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are few people going out, otherwise, it would not be so easy to run on this road like this. But even so, there are still some pedestrians on the street, it is not early, and the people who are in a hurry have already packed up and led their children to the neighbors to pay New Year's greetings.
"Let's go! Let's get it! Liu Man'er shouted loudly, the more people she saw, the more anxious she became, but for the sake of Ye He and the others, her speed was not reduced by half a point.
The horse's hooves stepped on the snow, all the way to the hooves, however, a small child suddenly appeared in front of him, this child was like being scared stupid, standing in the middle of the road and not walking, Liu Man'er rode the horse very fast, seeing this child, she had no time to stop, she could only pull the reins violently, and pull the horse aside.
However, after all, it was snowing, after a night, the bottom had already frozen, Liu Man'er pulled so hard, the horse's head was deflected, the horse's hooves under her slipped, and the side of the horse's body, even though Liu Man'er had tightened the reins with her greatest strength, but how much strength her already frozen fingers could have, she could only watch herself fall off the horse.
"Bang!" Like a broken doll, Liu Man'er slammed into the ground, raising two or three snowflakes.
"You man, how do you ride a horse!" A woman came out of the alley, she protected her child and yelled at Liu Man'er: "On the first day of the new year, if you bump into my child, I will not be finished with you!" ”
Liu Man'er knew that she was riding too fast, so she didn't say anything.
The woman saw that Liu Man'er was silent, but she scolded even more vigorously, "I said that you, a woman's family, don't stay at home well, come out to show your face, and learn from men to ride horses, it's really shameless!" ”
"It's really bad luck to bump into this on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
Scolding, the woman gave Liu Man'er a blank look and left with her child.
Liu Man'er wanted to ask the woman to help her up, but when she heard the woman's foul language, she could only swallow it.
She gritted her teeth and struggled to get up from the ground, but her back hurt terribly, she was already tired enough to find Ye Tianchen last night, her feet had already frozen, and she hadn't eased up until now, and now she was lying in the snow, she really wanted to sleep here.
As soon as this thought came out of her head, Liu Man'er snuffed it out, thinking that if she was one step too late, Ye He and Cao'er might fall into the clutches of the devil, and she struggled to get up from the ground.
Turning over and supporting the ground with her hands, Liu Man'er struggled to get up, just propped herself up, and before she could stand firmly, her legs were weak and she fell down again.
After all, she is just an ordinary person, although she has been working out recently, but in essence, she is just a weak woman.
On a cold day, she shivered from the cold, but she still struggled to stand up, although she was wearing gloves, her hands were as cold as icicles, she took off the gloves, and breathed into her hands, and her fingers warmed up a little.
Can't delay any longer, Liu Man'er was anxious, when her fingers warmed up a little, Liu Man'er put on her gloves again, carrying the reins, she turned over on the horse again, but just went up, the horse's head was flicked again, Liu Man'er was caught off guard, seeing that she was about to fall again, and had a close contact with the ground, but she never thought that she fell into a warm embrace.
Liu Man'er looked down and saw the hand around her waist, the jagged fingers were like eagle claws, so powerful, so familiar and warm around her waist.
"Haven't you already left? What are you doing here? Liu Man'er said in a muffled voice, two lines of tears silently crossed her porcelain white face as snow.
"How can I watch you get hurt." The voice of the person behind him was interesting and helpless, and seeing that Liu Man'er didn't answer, he took another breath and asked, "Where are you going in a hurry this morning?" Aren't you going to find me? ”
"You're thinking too much." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Your sister is missing, I'm going to look for her, I'm afraid that she will be captured by human traffickers, so I have to go to the city gate to prevent her from being taken out of the city." ”
"Aren't you going to keep your distance from me? Then let me go as soon as possible, I'm going to the city gate now, and if it's too late, I don't know what will happen. ”
Liu Man'er's voice is like a plate of frozen sashimi, it is cold when it is first eaten, but the more you chew, the warmer it becomes, and when you enter your stomach, you feel a warm current rising from your stomach.
