Day after day, year after year, in the blink of an eye, Kang Jiawei has been living in seclusion in the Immortal Cave of Bishui Cliff for three years.

That day, Xiaohua and her mother heard that Bishui Cliff had come to the troupe and was going to perform for three days and three nights, so they asked the scorpion to go to the play, and the scorpion agreed. So, Xiaohua and her mother went down the mountain and returned to the village together, leaving Kang Jiawei alone in the cave, fortunately, after three years of careful care of Xiaohua's mother and daughter, Kang Jiawei's body has improved significantly, and his physique has improved a lot, and he can take care of himself freely in many aspects. That's why Xiaohua can rest assured that he will be left alone in the hole.

There were a lot of outsiders in the village, and Xiaohua asked the villagers what was going on, and the villagers told her that the village would build a modern rest house, and that the mountains and rivers would be closed to protect the green mountains and clear waters. Today is the day of the foundation laying of the project, and the boss specially invited the opera troupe to add a lively atmosphere to the blue water cliff. The stage was built on an open floor in front of the Scorpion House, with a large red cloth on the stage, and a banner hanging above the stage, which read: The Foundation Laying Ceremony of the Blue Water Cliff International Rest Club. The stage was neatly filled with stools of different sizes and lengths brought from various households. When it was almost ten o'clock, there were more than a dozen leaders with big brains, tigers' backs, and people who looked like bosses walked onto the stage and sat down in a line. The people in the audience began to mumble their names: Secretary Li (former county magistrate, now secretary of the county party committee), Li Shimao (president of Tianyu Real Estate Co., Ltd., Li Shijing's father), Kang Jiazheng and so on. Du Manlin also participated in this ceremony, but she was reluctant to sit on the main stage, so she sat with the villagers under the stage, and behind her sat Xiaohua's mother and daughter. The ceremony was very simple, after a firecracker, there were speeches by several people in succession and bursts of applause, and finally the scorpion announced the end of the ceremony and the performance began.

The stage was staged in the famous local drama "Lantern Fairy" in Tucheng, and the actors were very involved in acting, and the audience was also fascinated. Halfway through the play, close to noon, Xiaohua began to fidget. She tugged on her mother's sleeve a few times, but her mother ignored her, staring intently at the stage and laughing.

"Mom, you only care about your own pleasure, and you don't look at what time it is, there is still one person waiting to eat at home." Xiaohua anxiously looked at the sky, and then at her mother.

"You mean Jiawei, don't worry, I can't be hungry for him, I'll warm his lunch in the pot." Xiaohua's mother said without hesitation.

Xiaohua glanced around: "Mom, be careful when you speak." ”

Xiaohua's mother suddenly realized something: "Yo, look at me, as soon as I am happy, I will relax my vigilance, and no one will hear it." ”

The words of the mother and daughter attracted Du Manlin's attention, especially when Xiaohua's mother inadvertently mentioned Jiawei, and it happened to be heard by Du Manlin, Du Manlin immediately became alert, and her attention shifted from the stage to Xiaohua's mother and daughter.

"Auntie, this girl is your daughter, right? It's smart, and it's very likable. Du Manlin patted Xiaohua on the shoulder and said to her mother.

Xiaohua's mother responded: "Yes, a mountain baby, earthy and vulgar, who likes it." ”

"Auntie, your girl is a golden phoenix in the mountains, and there are many people you like, I'm afraid you are reluctant to marry her."

"Whoever wants to like it, bring it now, save me from worrying."

"Auntie, I'll take her away later, don't regret it?"

"No, no." Xiaohua's mother suddenly realized something, and her tone suddenly became serious, "Really take her away?" ”

"Yes, auntie, if the woman is not staying, I will take her away, first, I can arrange her to work, and second, I can help you marry her as soon as possible, so as to save you trouble."

"That's right, but she can't leave right now."

"Why? I see that your girl is not too young, if you don't let her go out and stay in this ravine, it will hurt her for the rest of her life. ”

Xiaohua's mother hesitated, Xiaohua was afraid that she would say something about Kang Jiawei in a hurry, so she quickly interjected: "Sister, thank you for your kindness." Don't look at my mother's age, in fact, she teases her with one word when she speaks, just now you were teasing her, and she was also teasing you. ”

Du Manlin smiled: "I'm serious. ”

Xiaohua said, "But my mother is talking about playing." Eldest sister, let me tell you the truth, I don't lack anything at the moment, and with a job, I can earn two thousand or three thousand a month; The partner is also there, and although we are not married, we get along very well. Besides, I can take care of my mother. So, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here. As she spoke, she put one hand on her forehead, looked at the dazzling sun, and dragged her mother's arm with the other hand, "Mom, I'm hungry, let's go home for lunch!" ”

"Okay, well, go home." Xiaohua's mother stood up reluctantly and smiled at Du Manlin, "Thank you, you are a good person, but it's a pity that my Xiaohua doesn't have that life, and she can't leave this big mountain pass." She took two steps, then turned back and asked, "Oh, I almost forgot to ask your honorific name." ”

A person next to her preemptively introduced: "She is Ms. Du Manlin, a well-known entrepreneur in our Tucheng." ”

Du Manlin, a name that is often on Kang Jiawei's lips, a name that makes Xiaohua's mother and daughter callous. Such a familiar name, such a strange person, Xiaohua's mother and daughter looked at Du Manlin like pets. Xiaohua's mother looked a little nervous, and took Xiaohua's hand and left the theater while smiling.

Looking at the backs of the mother and daughter leaving in a panic, Du Manlin thought to herself: When the mother and daughter mentioned the name Jiawei when they talked about lunch, would this Jiawei be Kang Jiawei? As introduced by others just now, when it came to Du Manlin, the mother and daughter showed extreme surprise at the same time, it seems that there must be a shocking secret behind the mother and daughter, and Kang Jiawei's disappearance must be related to the mother and daughter. So, she decided to find Kang Jiawei's whereabouts from the mother and daughter.
