Chapter 21: Chaos
At night, the lights of Bianjing City are lit up, and all kinds of snacks spread out along both sides of the Bianhe River, and the lights are connected to each other, like a long fire dragon.
Huan'er walked on the bustling streets of Majie, like a drunk person. She faltered all the way, and passers-by hurriedly avoided it when they saw it.
"Girl! Girl, where are you? She muttered from time to time, and suddenly grabbed the shoulders of a pedestrian and shook them desperately: "You can see my girl!" ”
The man slammed into her hands, pulled her away, and scolded, "Where did you get the stinky girl's skin!" Pure talking nonsense!"
Huan'er didn't care about the surprised and wary gazes of passers-by, and still walked towards the bright lights. She walked past Sun Yangzheng's shop and Granny Cao's meatloaf shop, and lingered for a moment in front of the gate of the soup bun jade building.
I don't know how long she walked, but suddenly she heard a call from above: "Huan'er! She was startled and hurriedly exclaimed, "It's a girl!" When I looked up, my already warm heart suddenly fell into the ice cellar again. The person who called her was the cuckoo who was in charge of the Mo family's accounts.
The cuckoo frowned, stomped heavily, and hurried over. She took Huan'er's hand and asked with concern, "Where did you take the big girl?" Da Lang came home and saw that no one was angry. ”
At this point, she sensed that something was wrong. Huan'er's hair was scattered, and she lost her soul, but she looked around her but didn't see Mo Yunxiao's figure. She felt bad, and asked anxiously, "What about the big girl?" ”
"Sister Cuckoo." Huan'er looked up at her, and suddenly cried "wow". She threw herself into her arms, crying and saying, "It's me...... I lost the big girl! ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, the cuckoo's feet were weak and he couldn't help but stumble.
Her heart also panicked, but Huan'er threw herself into her arms and was crying sadly, so she couldn't blame her, so she could only stroke her back and comfort: "Don't worry, what's going on, you said it carefully." ”
"I ...... I ......" Huan'er stopped talking, and tears had soaked through the cuckoo's clothes. She raised her head, pushed the cuckoo away slightly, and said, "I'm going to make it clear to Da Lang." Deal...... It's a big deal, I'm risking my life! ”
The cuckoo felt even more frightened and was about to persuade her again, but Huan'er pushed her away without waiting for her to speak, and had already strode up the steps and rushed towards the tea building.
"Huan'er!" The cuckoo hurriedly followed, but at this time, the lobby on the first floor of the tea building was already full of tea customers, so it was not good to shout loudly, so he had to chase after her tightly and stop calling her. And Huan'er ran faster. She avoided the tea boy and went straight to the back hall.
At this time, Mo Chenglin was sitting upright at the top of the middle hall. Behind him were two glass lamps, which were blazing, and his thin, angular face was a fiery red.
The next to sit are Zhang Yuner and Li Xian'e. Their daughters, Mo Yunxiang and Mo Yunxi, stood respectfully behind their mothers, bowing their heads slightly and not daring to speak.
Zhang Yun'er picked up the tea bowl and took a sip first, and then raised her voice and said, "Da Lang, you are not at home these days, and there have been many things in a hurry. Lotus dew falls into the water, first dies and then lives. Later, the Fan Lou Song family apologized for the divorce, and Helu never came back as soon as he went. Alas, it's like swinging, good for a while and bad for a while, which is really worry-free. ”
With a "bang" sound, Mo Chenglin slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and said sharply: "As a mother-in-law, you don't look good at taking care of your children, why do you still have the face to talk here!" ”
Zhang Yun'er was shocked when she heard this, looked at Mo Chenglin with an incredible face, and said in a trembling voice: "What is this called, Da Lang?" Concubine...... How dare a concubine speak. In this family, the concubine who says it sounds good is the concubine, and if it is ugly, it is just a maid for people to have fun, and Helu has been arrogant and indulgent since she was a child, how can I manage it! ”
Mo Chenglin's face changed, and he pointed at her and said, "What do you mean by this!" If you don't look at your home and have no faults, do you still have to talk about merit? ”
Zhang Yun'er stood up and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There are naturally faulty concubines, but according to Helu's temperament, don't say it's a concubine, even if it's Helu's mother, what's the way?" Now she is indulged in lawlessness, as if she is a tyrant in the city of Tokyo. She wants to go out, does the concubine dare to stop her? ”
Hearing this, Mo Chenglin's face turned pale in an instant.
Mo Yunxiao's mother died early due to dystocia, and this incident has always been a hidden pain in his heart. The Mo family is very secretive about this. And Zhang Yuner seemed to feel that she had been greatly wronged, so she shouted out like this, how could she not be angry?
"Mother!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Yunxiang hurriedly came up and pulled her sleeve, and repeatedly comforted: "Mother, don't say a few words." These days, the letters we send to Daddy are upside down, and Daddy is naturally worried. It's not uncommon to wait here for more than an hour without seeing anyone, and to get a little annoyed. ”
"Yes, yes, Yun Xiang is very right." Li Xian'e has been wiping her tears with a handkerchief since she sat down. She pinched her handkerchief, got up slowly, and said to Mo Chenglin: "Helu is recuperating at home these days, I'm afraid I'm bored, and I finally have time to go out and have fun." The city of Tokyo is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where the kings and grandsons gather, and there must be the blessing of the saints, and it will be okay to think about it. ”
Mo Yunxiang helped his mother, looked back with apprehension, and saw Mo Yunxi standing behind Li Xian'e's chair. A hint of her smile flashed, but it was captured by Mo Yunxiang.
Mo Yunxiang frowned, revealing a suspicious look. She knew that it would not be possible to ask this sister to come forward to speak, so she had to turn her head and look at her father with a cold face again.
"Daddy." She tiptoed over to the coffee table at the top, gently picked up the bowl and walked back.
She raised the tea bowl above her head, choked up and said, "Daddy, my mother is in a hurry to talk nonsense." The daughter made amends on behalf of her mother. ”
Mo Chenglin didn't say anything, just stretched out his slightly trembling hand to take the tea bowl, and a pair of angry eyes approached Zhang Yun'er. Zhang Yun'er stood aside and shrunk aside, not daring to say a word.
Mo Chenglin drank all the tea from his daughter, and said to Zhang Yun'er: "If you mention Helu's mother again, I will pick your skin!" ”
His words were murderous, and he couldn't help but make Zhang Yun'er's mother and daughter tremble, and nodded again and again. "Know...... Got it. Zhang Yun'er was silent, as if she was not facing her husband, but a rakshasa and a yakshas, a terrifying Khitan iron horseman, and a snow wolf in the north who ate people and did not spit out bones.
"Dalang! Boom! Huan'er's voice came like a drumbeat. Everyone's hearts were full of joy, thinking that Mo Chenglin was angry and embarrassed, wouldn't Huan'er rush so rudely add fuel to the fire?
But before everyone had time to think about it, with the sound of the door being rushed open, Huan'er had already fallen to the ground. Immediately behind her was the panting cuckoo.
The two of them rushed into the house, and everyone present was startled, and they all unconsciously leaned a few steps up.
When she saw Mo Chenglin at a glance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her hands, and then knelt down and said, "Da Lang, it's all bad to blame the little one, and I couldn't stop Huan'er." ”
Mo Chenglin looked at Huan'er with both eyes, his two sword eyebrows were furrowed like hemp, and asked, "What about Helu?" ”
"Big girl...... Missing. Huan'er replied sneeringly.
"What?" Mo Chenglin's eyes were about to erupt with fire.
Zhang Yun'er and Li Xian'e, the two mothers and daughters, were also dumbfounded, and the female envoys and mothers-in-law around them opened their mouths widely, looking around with a pair of surprised eyes, and found that their companions were as frightened as themselves.
Mo Chenglin leaned over step by step, helped Huan'er, and asked, "How did she disappear?" ”
"Da Lang!" Huan'er's eyes were filled with tears, her lips trembled a few times, and finally she cried out with a "wow", shouting: "It's all my fault, I should be cut with a thousand knives, how can I lose the girl!" ”
"Hurry up!" Mo Chenglin roared angrily and slammed Huan'er to the ground. The cuckoo exclaimed on the side and hurriedly said, "Da Lang, the disappearance of the population is a big case. Let's report to the police as soon as possible! ”
"Whoever dares to report to the officer, I will break his leg!" Mo Chenglin turned his head to look at the cuckoo, as if thousands of sharp blades flew out of his eyes and stabbed the cuckoo. She couldn't help but retreat slightly when she was drunk, and Nuno said, "Small and mouthy." ”
Mo Yunxi and Li Xian'e glanced at each other, hurriedly went up to support Mo Chenglin's arm, and said softly: "Daddy, since you don't want to report to the official, it's better to ask someone to go out and find it quickly." Fortunately, there are a lot of people in our Minglou family, and they don't necessarily run all over Tokyo City if they are all scattered. ”
