Early the next morning, Lu Qingcao arrived at Cao San's sister-in-law's house.

In order to keep the clothes close, Lu Qingcao specially brought the two daughters there.

The third sister-in-law was brisk, and she cut the fabric in three or two clicks, and the comparison was very similar.

"Auntie, you are so godly, you don't even use a tape measure to measure it." Lu Qingcao took the neatly cut clothes and couldn't help sighing,

Cao San's sister-in-law was praised so that her ears were red, and she wondered: "What is a tape measure?" ”

Lu Qingcao forgot that there were no chili peppers in this era, let alone a tape measure that was only introduced to the flower grower in the nineteenth century.

"It's just a kind of ruler, soft to the touch, suitable for making clothes." She explained simply.

The third sister-in-law nodded again and again, and she didn't leave any work in her hands: "You young people are just well-informed, I haven't heard of it." ”

"I met a Fanbang man in the town and listened to them." Lu Qingcao snorted haha.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, she still understands this truth.

Ichika and Erli squatted in the yard, tilting their heads and playing "pickup" with small bolts.

There are no toys in the village, and the children play with each other by cutting the bark into small squares, called "pickups".

"Brother Bolt, you Laipi! Obviously I knocked yours over. "Lu Erli's personality is like that of a boy, and she is also competitive in playing games, and she is unwilling to be inferior.

The bolt was two years older than her, taller and stocky like a pillar.

The two of you said a word, and they actually fought.

"It's mine, it's mine! This is my home, you go! His face flushed with anger, and he spoke upside down.

Seeing this, Lu Yihua hurriedly persuaded him: "Erli, give it to him, and I'll go up the mountain to make it for you in a few days." ”

"No way!" Lu Erli admits death.

The plug angrily grabbed the pickup and ran into the house, and there was a rustling sound outside.

Lu Qingcao glanced up, poked the embroidery needle, and pierced his fingers.

"Ouch." She put her finger in her mouth and sucked.

Cao San's sister-in-law also hurried up: "Are you okay?" Be careful, the needle looks small, and it hurts to prick someone. ”

While he was talking, the little bolt walked in through the door, covered his head and went into the inner room.

"Didn't you let you play with your sister? What happened to you? Seeing this, Cao San's sister-in-law asked rhetorically.

The little bolt clung to the pickup and hesitated: "They, they robbed me of something!" I don't play with them. ”

With that, he ran quickly into the back room.

Seeing this, Cao San's sister-in-law smiled and said, "The child has a temper, it will be fine in a while." ”

It's scary to be quiet outside.

Lu Qingcao had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she shouted: "One flower, two beauty? ”

It was quiet outside, and there was no sound at all.

The hunch was even stronger.

"I'll take a look, maybe I'm still angry." Cao San's sister-in-law put down her clothes and walked out, "Yihua, Erli?" ”

She shouted, but there was still no one.

Lu Qingcao jumped off the kang and rushed into the courtyard in three or two steps.

It had only rained last night, and the mud in the courtyard was full of footprints, large and small, and it was difficult to see the direction.

"Where are these two children? You won't go home angry, will you? Pickups are also gone. "Sister-in-law Cao searched inside and out, but still didn't find the two children.

Two pickups on the ground were trampled in half and shattered.

Lu Qingcao was sure that something had happened to the two children.

"No, they won't run around, auntie, please find a few people to help me find the child, the child has an accident." Lu Qingcao looked at the fresh footprints on the side of the wall, extending straight out along the courtyard wall until it disappeared.

Lu Qingcao stepped past the pickup truck and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

The woods were very quiet, and a gust of wind blew, and two leaves swirled down and fell straight to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Cao's third sister-in-law had already found three or five aunts, plus two male babies, and found them in the mountains.

"A flower? Erli? ”

"Yihua, come out quickly, stop playing."

The little bolt also followed everyone to find it in the mountains, holding a thick stack of pickups in his hands, and couldn't stop wiping his tears: "Erli, come out, I'll return the pickup to you." ”

The group searched for half an hour, but there was no news at all.

Lu Qingcao took the time to go home, but the house was also empty, and Granny Qin didn't see the two.

"How good is this, could it be that the two children were cheated away?" The child was lost at Cao San's sister-in-law's house, she was even more anxious than Lu Qingcao, and she couldn't wait to go into the ground to find traces.

Lu Qingcao lowered his head and pondered.

In these years, children are not worth much, and some people catch children to sell.

And the people around are villagers, and they won't buy children from unknown sources.

So selling children can only go to the bazaar.

"Sister-in-law, you take someone to squat on the road to the south to catch the market, and I'll go to the west road. If you want to sell your child, you can only take these two roads out of the village. Lu Qingcao kicked off a wrist-thick jujube tree, and with a twist of his wrist, he picked up the branch with a "click".

Sister-in-law Cao was dumbfounded, this girl has too much strength!

Several other people were guarding the south, and Lu Qingcao was squatting alone in the grass on the roadside in the west, waiting for the rabbit.

The night was getting darker, and the road was quiet and only crickets could be heard.

"Hurry up, go this way, it's blocked over there, don't you dare to go over......"

"Ouch, little bunny, you dare to bite me! I'll kill you......"

Not far away, two people talked, a man and a woman coming from the southwest, both carrying sacks.

The man suffered pain in his back and punched the sack twice, and the sack did not move.

"Don't break it, you still expect to sell it for a good price! The silver is stuck in two taels, but you have to be careful. The woman reminded in a whisper.

The man bared his teeth in pain, lowered his voice and cursed: "Little beast bite me!" I have a sense of proportion, don't worry. ”

The two got closer and closer, and Lu Qingcao saw more and more clearly.

The sack is slender and long, slightly bumpy with the movement, and obviously holds people.

The man is fierce and vicious, with a scar on his forehead and chin, and he is not a good person. The woman has sharp-beaked monkey gills, wears a gown that is neither red nor yellow nor red, nor yellow, and has a dusty face.

"These two are really good-looking, it's rare to meet such a good seedling, it won't be long before they will be the top brand, and when the time comes, ......" The two talked and laughed, not noticing the movement in the grass at all.

The more Lu Qingcao thought about it, the more angry he became, and carrying a branch to the man's calf was a stick!

Click!

A crisp cracking sound sounded, the branch in Lu Qingcao's hand was intact, and the man was heavy to the end, holding his calf in pain and roaring: "Ah, my leg!" Ah......h

The woman threw down the sack in a panic: "Master, what's wrong?" Oops! ”

Lu Qingcao was unceremoniously, picked up the stick and hit it hard.

Without the shackles of the sack, she fought even more unscrupulously.

There are also a few small tree thorns on the jujube stick, which is much more lethal than ordinary sticks, and every time they hit the two of them, they are heart-rending howls.

Stealing a child is a matter of death!

Lu Qingcao was really angry.

The image of the two children helping sensibly flashed through her mind, and she couldn't imagine losing their lives.

If she hadn't stopped the two of them today, she would have lived in regret for the rest of her life!

"Ouch, a good man spares his life! We know it's wrong. The man couldn't stand it anymore and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The woman also prayed again and again: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone into the village to steal the child, no, we didn't steal, it was the child's elders who sold it to us!" ”

Elders?!

Lu Qingcao stopped, kicked away the curled woman, her eyes were like a beast out of the cage, staring at her: "Who sold it?" ”

Men and women get a temporary respite, originally thought there were three or five people, but stopped and found that it was just a little girl?

"She said it was their grandmother, and the two children also shouted, so we dared to do it. I didn't expect it to be so big, the whole village was looking for the child, but the money was given, so we had to take the child out...... The hero spares his life, you take the child back, we don't want it, and we don't want the silver. "The woman was bruised all over the beaten body, and the blood was mixed with mud all over her body, how embarrassed and embarrassed she was.

Grandmother?

Lu Qingcao snorted coldly.

From the beginning of the accident, she felt that this matter was inseparable from Zhao Hehua.

I didn't expect it to be her!

Since she is unkind, don't blame others for being unjust!

Cao San's sister-in-law, who was guarding the south while speaking, rushed over, and she was sweating profusely: "Did you find it?" I heard someone shouting for help......"

Cao San's sister-in-law's words stuck in her throat.

Someone did shout for help, but it wasn't Lu Qingcao.

The sharp-eyed aunt recognized the woman on the ground: "Isn't this a human tooth?" Did they steal the child? ”

"It's really upside down, people dare to enter the village to steal children, I will kill you!" A few aunts were angry and scratched.

Everyone has children, and everyone hates people's teeth.

The man on the ground had a broken leg and couldn't run at all, so he could only cover his face and beg for mercy: "Grandma, I know it's wrong, just let us go, we promise never to come again." ”
