Chapter 31: The beak is harder than a boiled duck

Only then did a few people realize that something was wrong, and the grandmother in charge immediately ordered the people in the Taoist temple to look for it, but after such a long time, the people had already disappeared.

You can find the back door of the Taoist temple along the thatched toilet, and it is raining today, the footprints on the ground have been washed away, and a few people do not give up to stop the pedestrians passing by the back door of the Taoist temple to ask, most of them said that they did not see it, only one person pointed them in the direction, saying that the girl ran south.

To the south is the road out of town, but after going out, it leads to several surrounding villages, and there are many forks in the road, which is equivalent to not saying.

The grandmother in charge thought for a while, and then said: "This matter still has to be reported, there are only a few villages around, if this girl is really among them, I am not afraid that I will not find her after some effort." ”

Several people said yes again and again, and Mama said: "You and I can know about this matter, don't publicize it, if anyone accidentally leaks the news, just be careful with your tongue." ”

These old ladies are all personally selected by the national teacher, especially the ones in charge, who know more than others, they not only know what kind of woman they are looking for, but also know that the matter of choosing this woman as a holy aunt is made up, and eighty percent of them are selected and given to the people above, as for what they do not know.

Several people knew what was at stake, and immediately shut their mouths and decided to rot the matter in their stomachs.

When Shen Da was waiting for someone outside the Taoist temple, he saw a tavern opposite, he was hooked up by his addiction to alcohol, went to sit down opposite and drank two or two wines, and when he came back about the same time, he didn't see Shen Ruoran come out.

He asked a Taoist priest to inquire, only to learn that the girls who had undergone the physical examination had already returned.

Shen Da turned around and scolded: "This little hoof, he didn't wait for Lao Tzu, he actually went back by himself." ”

He didn't take it seriously, and went to the wine stall to get two or two drinks, and then returned home satisfied.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the clothes on Shen Ruoran's body were already soaked, and the rain dripped down her clothes into her skirt and shoes and socks, and she ran home one foot at a time.

She only felt that Fang Cai's Taoist temple was eerie, everyone looked smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, those old women looked at her with ulterior motives, and she couldn't help but shudder at the thought that if she was left behind, she might live in that place for the rest of her life.

When I finally arrived at the door of the house, I heard laughter from inside.

Liu Jizhu was talking to Mrs. Shen, "I heard that those girls who were not selected will come back after a while, if they don't come back by this time, it won't be chosen." ”

Mrs. Shen has always felt that her granddaughter is a money-loser, and she is looking forward to finding a good family to send out as soon as possible, and now if she can become a holy aunt, then their Shen family is really developed.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly knelt down on the spiritual seat of Old Man Shen, put on the pillar incense, and begged him to bless him with a word, "The old man blesses our granddaughter to be selected, which is much more glorious than marrying." ”

Shen Ruoran clasped her hand on the door, but she didn't dare to push it open, she was afraid of seeing the family's disappointed look.

Her chest was sore and stuffy.

Just as he was distracted, Shen Da said behind him, "You dead girl, why don't you go in when you come back, stand at the door and be the door god." ”

He staggered open the door with his wine, and the eyes of both people in the room gathered.

Liu Jizhu stepped forward and smiled, "If so, how about it?" Did you choose it? ”

Shen Ruoran shook his head.

Shen Da slapped the flask on the table with a "snap", "Useless thing." ”

Mrs. Shen sneered: "I really thought I could give birth to a golden phoenix." She walked slowly back to the house on crutches.

Liu Jizhu was so angry that he slapped Shen Ruo on the back, "Impossible, the birthmark on your body is so good-looking, why isn't it the person they are looking for, they must have made a mistake, we will try it again tomorrow." ”

When Shen Ruoran heard that he was going to go again, his eyes were full of horror, "Mother, people are looking for people who are destined, not who has a good-looking birthmark can be selected, and if they are not selected, it means that we have no fate." ”

Liu Jizhu scolded: "Could it be that they are really looking for a fairy?" ”

The family was so depressed that they didn't even eat much for lunch.

Shen Ruoran thought that he had been fooled like this, and his father and mother had no intention of letting her be a holy aunt, although her mother threw all the work inside and out to her in a fit of anger, she was still very happy.

How do you say that?

The gold nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.

But this joy didn't last long, because the next day Shen Da came back from outside and was about to pull her away.

Shen Ruoran was frightened by this battle, instinctively dodged away, she sneered and said, "Dad, where are you taking me to?" ”

Shen Da was so excited that his face flushed, "I just heard about it, and the Guanli asked the girl who went for a physical examination yesterday to go again." ”

Liu Jizhu also became happy, she slapped her face, and said, "I said that it must be a mistake, if so, you are obedient, and then go with your father to take a look." ”

Shen Ruoran just wanted to shake his head, and when he saw the burning gaze of the second elder, he knew that he would not be able to escape this time, and the people in the Taoist temple must have been prepared, if they fell into their hands again this time, it would be impossible to escape so easily.

She calmed down and said, "Okay, Daddy and Mother will wait for me for a while, and I'll go wash my face and change my clothes." ”

Shen Da looked at the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing and worked at home, and said busily: "Yes, yes, you go and dress up, what's the matter with such a disgraced face, don't worry, dad is waiting for you." ”

Shen Ruoran entered the house casually.

As soon as the door closed, she immediately changed her expression, and with her hands and feet sharp, she found all her savings, then brought a few clothes, wrapped them in old bags, and jumped out of the back window.

At the beginning of spring, she reclaimed a small piece of land in the backyard, and the green onion seedlings planted were growing well, and they could be harvested in a few days.

Shen Ruoran glanced back at this home, and finally gritted his teeth and climbed out of the courtyard wall.

Shen Da couldn't wait for Shen Ruoran outside the house, and suddenly Liu Jizhu slapped his thigh and said, "It's broken." ”

After all, it was the meat that fell from her body, and she knew more about Shen Ruoran than Shen Da.

Liu Jizhu hurriedly pushed open the door, the back window was wide open, and there was still a trace of Shen Ruoran in the house.

Shen Da stomped his feet and immediately went around the hospital to chase after him, although it only delayed the work for a while, but Shen Ruoran had already been unable to find it.

Liu Jizhu also went out to look for it, and also mobilized the neighbors, until he found the evening, and there was no one to see, Liu Jizhu panicked, sat on the ground and cried.

Shen Da sulked on the side and said: "Don't cry, how capable that little girl is, she has never been alone in the town, where else can she go, don't worry, we must not have found it in this village." ”

Liu Jizhu shook her head while crying, and she muttered indistinctly: "You don't understand ......"

After a day of trouble in Liuhe Village, the villagers helped to find Shen Ruoran for a long time, and everyone dispersed in the second half of the night.

The news spread to Anhai Village next door, and Wu Shuang was fiddling with Wu Xiuwen's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a few circular patterns were sporadically drawn on a piece of rough paper.

Wu Shuang was full of pen and scribbled a little bit on it, and Wu Xiuwen was confused.

"Xiaoshuang, what are you drawing?"

Wu Shuang was surprised, "Can't you see it?" I'm designing a new dish. ”

Wu Xiuwen pointed to one of the things with his head raised and his tail flicked, pondered for a long time, and said, "Oh, I can see that you painted our donkey." ”

Wu Shuang was furious, "Big brother, are donkey's legs so short?" Do donkeys have claws? It's a dragon, it's a dragon! ”

Wu Shuang put away the drawings and stopped showing them to Wu Xiuwen.

Wu Xiuwen chuckled behind him, and Wu Shuang reacted, chasing Wu Xiuwen and beating him, "Okay, you dare to lie to me, you can clearly see it." ”

Wu Xiuwen intercepted her fist, took out the drawing and looked at it carefully, and said, "Do you draw a picture first every time you think of a new dish?" ”

Wu Shuang nodded, "Some ideas will not be very specific when they are in their minds, only when they fall on the pen and paper will they notice where there is a problem, how to modify it, and then improve it step by step from the drawings to the real thing, and finally make the most suitable one." ”

Wu Xiuwen nodded, he seemed to realize something, and muttered: "This is a good way, but Xiaoshuang's word is too ugly." ”

Wu Shuang doesn't know how to use a brush, the words of this era can only be said to be so similar to what he knew before, these Wu Shuang are not too entangled, after all, the original body is a fool who can't read big words, and her current situation is very in line with the personality.

Wu Shuang smiled and fooled through, "I usually read a few books in your room, I don't know much, I don't make a fuss, I can barely express my meaning." ”

Wu Xiuwen just wanted to propose to put teaching her to learn calligraphy on the agenda, but he heard Wu Shuang's words turn to Shen Ruoran.

"I heard that Shen Ruoran was gone, and I don't know if I ran out or was abducted."

The Shen family didn't dare to say that she escaped because of the birthmark, for fear that someone with a heart would listen to her and trouble Shen Ruoran, so they could only speculate and say that she disappeared suddenly.

Wu Xiuwen frowned, he had never had a good impression of this cousin, and he had seen her amazing ability to contrive, so he was not able to judge this matter, so he had to say: "You have to be careful when you go out recently, even if you walk around the village, you have to come with us, you know?" ”

He always felt that those Taoist priests who suddenly appeared were uneasy and kind.

Wu Shuang smiled: "Don't worry, this big brother, Song Qingyuan is my follower." ”

Wu Xiuwen saw that she mentioned that person, there was a smile in her eyebrows and eyes, and the feeling of joy couldn't help but overflow, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, he raised his hand and touched the top of Wu Shuang's hair.

Wu Shuang was dissatisfied with her messy hair, and shouted: "Why do you touch me like you touch Ah Huang next door, I'm your sister." ”

"You're going to wag your tail happily just now, what's the difference between you and Ah Huang next door." Wu Xiuwen teased her with a smile.

"What joy, don't talk nonsense." Wu Shuang craned her neck and refused to admit it, her mouth was harder than a boiled duck.
