After hearing too much cynicism, he Zhang Shuchang also began to dislike his daughter. Not only does he listen to his parents' harsh treatment of his daughter, but sometimes he is angry himself, and he will use his daughter to vent his anger.

By the time his two sons were born, there were no more sarcastic words about him, but his daughter's life became more and more difficult. Whatever it is, let the two younger brothers go.

I also have to take care of my two younger brothers, at a young age, except for sleeping, the thin body has never stopped being busy, but the food is the least and worst in the family.

Right now...... Zhang Shuchang's intestines were all repentant.

He wants to find his daughter, love her well, and give her everything he can give, so that she can grow up healthy and happy like a happy bird.

But the daughter ...... What about people?

After entering the city, Zhang Shuchang looked for it along the street where he entered the west gate. Find the nearest pharmacy.

"Shopkeeper, on the 18th, did a little girl about 11 years old in a gray jacket and black pants come to find a doctor for her father?"

Zhang Shuchang said, comparing his daughter's height.

Only then did I find out that my daughters were eleven years old, but they were not as tall as their chests.

How much does he owe that child, Zhang Shuchang's heart aches.

The shopkeeper's reply was, "Not yet." ”

Zhang Shuchang thanked the shopkeeper, turned around and walked out.

At this time, a young man came out of the side and the waiting room with a tea tray, and just as he was a little distracted, the two bumped into each other.

The tea tray fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.

Zhang Shuchang hurriedly apologized, picked up the wooden tea tray and returned it to the young man.

The young man glanced at him, took a step back, and thanked him.

When Zhang Shuchang went out, he heard the shopkeeper scolding the young man: "Why are you always so frizzy lately?"

If it weren't for the fact that you're an old guy who's been working for years, I'd have kicked you out. Look at how much of your monthly money has been deducted this month?

Don't you need to take medicine for your sick grandmother at home? What an uneasy one. This is seventeen years old and doesn't have a daughter-in-law, is it dizzy? Hurry up and get to work. ”

Zhang Shuchang shook his head.

I thought to myself: that young man, like his own son, is not a good thing. Son, I have worked so hard to come and raise you, but what is the result?

Or the daughter is the most intimate.

Thinking of these, Zhang Shuchang's footsteps became faster and faster.

However, the answer of the shopkeeper in the second pharmacy was "I haven't seen it." ”

The third, "No." ”

Fourth: "I haven't been here." ”

Fifth: "I don't know, get out of here, I've soiled the floor of my shop." ”

When Zhang Shuchang went out, a young man with beautiful eyebrows and about a teenager brought him a bowl of water.

was knocked over by another guy.

Zhang Shuchang grinned at the young man who was serving the water, and didn't want to cause trouble to the other party, so he thanked him silently and left.

This fifth pharmacy is at the westernmost end of Changqing Lane.

Changqing Lane, the curve is relatively long, and there are several forks in the lane, leading to other streets and alleys.

Zhang Shuchang was very hungry, thirsty, and unwell. He walked not far into Changqing Alley, and sat down against the mossy bluestone wall base.

I want to take a breath and keep looking.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps was heard.

Zhang Shuchang pasted it on the wall again, afraid of tripping people, and his straight legs also retracted. Holding your hands, you curl yourself up in a ball.

He didn't have the curiosity to see who was coming, and he didn't have the heart to care about others, so why was he in such a hurry?

At this time, his consciousness was a little blurred, and he only had the obsession to find his daughter and support him.

"Uncle, your daughter did come to our pharmacy two days ago."

The man crouched down in front of him and said this.

Zhang Shuchang raised his head suddenly.

looked at the young man in front of him who was serving him water just now, and immediately grabbed the other party's hand and asked, "Then where did she go?" Where is it? You ......"

There are a lot of questions at once, but I don't know how to ask or what to ask.

"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me. I sneaked out, and I have to go back quickly. I say you listen. ”

The young man let the uncle scratch himself, and said quickly: "That night, not long after three o'clock, (22:40) there was a little girl you said came to knock on the door of our pharmacy.

I'll open the door. The little girl said that she would go to the village to see her father.

But she only had twenty cents in her hand, and it was getting late, and no doctor would be willing to go outside the city.

I could only shake my head and refuse. She looked dirty, tired, and hungry, so I took two biscuits and stuffed them for her.

Persuade her to hurry home. She didn't listen, hugged the cake and thanked me, and continued to walk towards the evergreen alley.

Where she went after that, I don't know. Uncle, you can ask someone again, I'll go back. ”

After saying that, the young man broke away from his hand, took out a beard cake from his bosom and stuffed it for the uncle, and then ran back.

Zhang Shuchang has strength.

But my heart hurt more and more.

His daughter......

He rubbed his face vigorously, took a bite of the cake and stood up, leaned against the wall of the alley, and continued to walk and continue to search.

I kept finding it when it was dark, and I didn't find it.

He crouched in the corner, took out the Hu Biscuit that he had only eaten a few bites, and then took a small bite very carefully.

A passer-by, seeing that he was pitiful, threw him some brass plates.

Zhang Shuchang thanked the well-wishers, just picked up three, and when he was about to pick up the last one, the copper plate that fell a little farther away from him was trampled on by a pair of clean and beautiful boots.

"Stinky beggar, come, call Grandpa to Young Master Ben, and Young Master Ben will let you pick it up."

When Zhang Shuchang heard the owner of the pair of boots say this, he slowly retracted his hand and slowly raised his head.

In front of him was a young man in an orange round-necked robe, looking like a person who had read a book, playing with the jade pendant around his waist in his hand, looking like a dog, but with a monkey-like expression on his face.

Zhang Shuchang wanted to say: I don't want that copper coin.

But thinking of how his daughter could beg for the twenty copper coins held in the palm of his little hand, Zhang Shuchang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Grandpa." ”

The young man listened but was not satisfied, smashed his head with a jade pendant, and scolded: "I can't hear clearly, be louder!" ”

Zhang Shuchang's anger came up.

At this time, another man beside the young man pulled the young man by his hand.

"Brother Sun, are you all bored? Why can't you get along with a beggar? It's a waste of our pastime. Let's go, 'Drunken Flower Building'. ”

The surnamed Sun gave up, raised his foot and kicked off the Hu cake in Zhang Shuchang's hand, then raised his chin, threw the pendant rope of the jade pendant in a circle, and followed his friend.

Zhang Shuchang didn't care about being angry, so he quickly picked up the Hu cake, blew and blew, patted and patted, and then carefully put it into his arms.

I picked up the copper coin again and held it in the palm of my hand. I only felt that the edge of the copper coin hurt my palms.

It's also hot, and my heart hurts.
