Chapter 40: Falling into the Pond
When Li Ying heard her son's inquiry, she was overwhelmed with grief and cried "wow~~", her dirty face was full of discomfort and grievances.
At this time, people came and went on the street, and many neighbors were sticking Spring Festival couplets at the door, all of whom were frightened by Li Ying's terrifying appearance and the earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods.
Some well-meaning neighbors hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Yo! Archie's mom, what's going on?! Fell into the pond? ”
"Oh my God! It's a cold day! I'm soaking wet! ”
"Wrestling early in the morning? Don't fall seriously for the New Year! You okay? Ouch! Don't cry, don't cry! ”
Gu Qi was the most calm, running over with long legs, and holding the old mother's arm.
"Quick! Help mom go into the house! ”
Gu Yi hurriedly came back to his senses and helped hold Li Ying's other arm.
The two brothers worked together to "lift" the old mother into the house.
Chen Xingling ran down, stopped the neighbors who were about to follow the door to see the bustle, and laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally fell. Let's go back first, my mother-in-law has to wash her face and change her clothes quickly, otherwise she will easily catch a cold. ”
With that, she hurriedly closed the door.
Gu Qi sat the old mother on the stool and took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her eyes and face.
"Mom, don't cry yet. You've fallen, haven't you? Did you fall or hurt anything? Where does it hurt? ”
Gu Yi was so anxious that he stomped his feet and asked nervously, "Where did you go and fell all over in mud?" What about the little sister? Aren't you going out together? Where's my little sister? ”
Chen Xingling ran over quickly and pushed the stunned little tiger.
"Quick! You go to the great aunt to help! Fast! ”
The little guy understood that the matter should be urgent, so he ran to the backyard.
Li Ying pumped and hooked: "...... We got separated...... I fell into the pond...... Luckily there wasn't much water in there, otherwise I might have drowned. ”
"Pond?!" Gu Yihu asked, "Where is the pond?" West or East? We only have a moat here, where is the pond? Where did you get separated? ”
Gu Qi saw that the old mother was already shivering from the cold, her face was pale, and she hurriedly said, "Don't ask yet, Ma Li will go and pour a glass of warm water for my mother." ”
"Hey!" Gu Yi hurried to the kitchen.
Chen Xingling frowned and proposed: "Archie, it's better to help my mother take off the big cotton jacket first, she is so wet that she can't wipe it clean, so she has to wash it with hot water, and then change into clean and warm clothes." I'll go get hot water, and you help her into the house first." ”
Gu Qi nodded hurriedly: "Okay!" You go! ”
Xiaohuzi pulled Gu Xuan and ran over, and she was also taken aback by being indifferent and paralyzed.
After a busy toss, Li Ying trembled her hands, held the enamel cup and drank water slowly, undecided to explain the whole story.
It turned out that they were unwilling to miss the opportunity to sell high-priced meat on the black market, so the mother and daughter quietly went to the black market with a big pig's head early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, the pig's head has not been sold yet, but the law enforcement officers have arrived!
Suddenly, the entire black market was immediately chaotic, whether it was selling things or buying things, they were all scared stupid, running around, pushing and trampling each other, and the scene was instantly chaotic!
Li Ying was fat and strong, relying on the absolute advantage of being fat, she was lucky not to be pushed down, but passively poured out along the crazy crowd, and finally panicked and accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the pond.
Fortunately, the pond was emptied of fish years ago, and only a puddle of muddy water remained in the middle of the pond.
Gu Yi was furious when he heard this, and said in a rough voice: "When I had dinner last night, didn't my sister-in-law say that she was not allowed to sell?!" We've obviously discussed it, why are you sneaking to the black market! Now it's good! Eat a big lesson, right?! ”
Li Ying glared at him angrily and cried: "How did we know that someone was coming to arrest someone!" We thought about selling the pig's head and buying some snacks to eat for the New Year! Who would have thought that those eight lambs would come to arrest people! ”
Chen Xingling secretly rolled his eyes.
Dare them to violate the rules and go to the black market to engage in illegal trading, but it is still someone else's fault?
Gu Xuan didn't bother to speak, and silently took out the dirty clothes that the old mother had changed.
Xiaohuzi didn't understand what was going on, so he obediently led the big black dog to the door and stared at it with wide eyes.
Li Ying cried again and scolded: "Isn't it just going once?!" I'm afraid they won't make it! Someone else has been making money for days! A pound of meat is several times more expensive than the outside - what are you doing not to catch them?! My big pig's head hasn't been sold yet, and I haven't made a penny yet! What are you doing with me?! I'm not afraid! ”
Gu Qi was the most calm, and said in a deep voice: "Don't shout, someone with bad intentions will hear about you and report you for a while, maybe someone will really come to arrest you." ”
Forehead!?
Li Ying has always been a paper tiger, but she was suddenly frightened, silently accepted her crying, and obediently buried her head and continued to drink water.
Gu Qijun's face was cold, and he analyzed: "The top priority is to find the little sister as soon as possible and make sure that she is safe and okay." Mom, which black market are you going to? To the east of the city? ”
"No......" Li Yingzhiwu: "The one on the side of the land temple in the west of the city." ”
Gu Qi's chin raised slightly, and he ordered: "Ah Yi, you go and put on one more coat, and we will go to find the little sister immediately." ”
"Good!" Gu Yi hurriedly ran down.
Chen Xingling poured water and handed each of them a glass.
"You go and find it first. If you can't find anyone at noon, go home first. There are so many people on the black market that it is impossible for everyone to be arrested. Maybe Gu Miao just got separated from her mother and is now on her way back. ”
"Hmm." Gu Qi whispered: "If she comes back, lock her in the house and don't allow her to go out and run around again." ”
Gu Yi frowned, worried and asked, "What if I get caught...... So what to do? ”
"What nonsense!" Li Ying was angry and scolded: "There are so many people in the black market today, at least hundreds!" How could you have caught Ah Miao? You can't hope for her! ”
Gu Yi rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I hope that she is well, if she is fine, we are still worried about hair!" ”
Li Ying was silently stunned by her youngest son.
Gu Qi and Gu Yi hurriedly went out.
At this time, Xiaohuzi walked in slowly, looking at Li Ying with big eyes and concern.
"Grandma, are you alright...... Isn't it? ”
Li Ying glared at him angrily and scolded: "You little kid knows what to do, it's okay!" Go, go, go! Let's play! ”
Xiaohuzi was startled and swallowed his saliva.
Chen Xingling hurriedly took his little hand and led him back to the front yard.
"Huzi, grandma, she is feeling uncomfortable now, don't go to her. Don't ask, stay in the front yard and play with Dahei. ”
Little Huzi blinked his cute big eyes and asked, "Mom, what is the black market?" Isn't it fun? Grandma is crying! ”
"It's not fun, that's why she's crying." Chen Xingling coaxed him along his mind: "If it's fun, she can't cry, can she?" You obediently go to the corner to play with pebbles, and later your mother will make you something to eat. ”
"Okay!" The little guy suddenly became excited and said excitedly: "Mom, I want to eat baked buns!" The baked buns are delicious! ”
Chen Xingling was just about to speak——
"Ah Xuan! Ah Xuan! I saw Li Ying limping over, looking back and forth and shouting, "Where did you go?" Ah Xuan! ”
