Luo Lin hadn't come back by lunchtime, Luo Lin was not a fun-loving child, and since he moved here, he rarely ran far to play.

At the beginning, Luo Hanyan and Shen Miaoyun thought that he was playing somewhere, and came back late, and when the meal was a little cold, the others hadn't come back.

For some reason, Luo Hanyan felt a little uneasy in her heart, she changed into shoes and said to Shen Miaoyun, "Mother, I'll go out to find Lin'er, you are at home and wait." ”

Came to the place where Luo Lin often played and looked around, Luo Lin rarely went to play elsewhere, and his friends were always in such a few places, Luo Hanyan looked for it again and again and still didn't see Luo Lin's figure, stood under the old locust tree and thought about it and went home, thinking that maybe Luo Lin had gone home when she was looking for someone.

It's just that she just walked outside the house, and Shen Miaoyun inside came out before she heard the words, "Where are you going...... when she came out and saw that only Luo Hanyan came back, she was stunned, "Didn't you find anyone?" ”

Luo Hanyan twisted his eyebrows a little, where did Lin'er go back if she didn't come back? There was a bad premonition quietly in her heart, and she silently comforted herself that maybe Luo Lin ran away and came back late.

But the growing uneasiness in his heart couldn't deceive himself, Luo Hanyan and his mother went out separately to find someone, the two searched around the village and didn't see Luo Lin's figure, and after the meeting, the mother and daughter both looked a little bad.

Shen Miaoyun said anxiously, "Where did Lin'er go?" Luo Hanyan wondered if Luo Lin would return home when they were looking for someone, so he said, "Mother, let's go back to the house first, maybe Lin'er has already gone back." ”

Luo Lin's figure was not seen in the village, maybe he had really gone home, thinking of this, the two of them made up their minds to go home together.

But when they returned home, what was waiting for them was a room of silence, Luo Lin did not come back, Shen Miaoyun grabbed Luo Hanyan's hand and was worried, and the anxiety between her eyebrows could not be concealed, "Where did Lin'er run today?" Will you go out with someone? "This outside refers to the outside of Xiangshan Village.

Luo Hanyan doesn't think so, Luo Lin has always been very well-behaved, and she has never had a bad premonition in her heart, but at this time, she automatically and spontaneously chose to ignore the past, it will be fine, Lin'er may have encountered some problems like last time, so she didn't come back.

Thinking of this, Luo Hanyan's eyes lit up, by the way, there is a place she hasn't looked for yet! "Mother, you are waiting at home for me to look for Lin'er somewhere, maybe it will be there." When the words fell, Luo Hanyan had already run out in a hurry.

She found Peach Demon Jing and came over, hoping that Luo Lin might come to him to play.

But when she saw that there was only Peach Demon Jing here, her heart suddenly sank, and Peach Demon Jing heard the footsteps and looked back to see Luo Hanyan, and saw her expression in a hurry, and her face flashed with disappointment and anxiety when she saw herself.

He was puzzled in his heart, and looked at Luo Hanyan's face was not quite right, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm looking for my brother." She bit her lip and looked at Peach Demon Jing with a hint of hope in her eyes, "Have you seen Luo Lin come here to look for you?" ”

"No, what's wrong?" He put down what he was holding and walked over.

When he asked like this, Luo Hanyan seemed to have dropped a stone on his heart, and he pounced on Luo Lin and didn't come here, so where did he go back? Could something bad really happen? The thoughts that ran up in her mind flashed one by one, and she felt her hands and feet lighten a little.

A slender palm was on her shoulder, and when she looked up, she saw Peach Demon Jing's calm face, "Don't worry, you tell me what's going on first." ”

She blinked her thick eyelashes, a thin mist rose in her eyes, and her lips pursed her mouth with a helpless cry, "My brother is gone, I can't find him...... I don't know where to go......"

"Don't panic, I'll help you find it." His dark jade-like pupils were full of comfort, Luo Hanyan stabilized his emotions, nodded, held back the wetness in his eyes, and nodded vigorously.

Peach Demon Jing accompanied her to look for a long circle in the village, and Xiangshan Village, which was usually not a stranger, seemed to have become unrecognizable at this moment, and they searched many places, but they didn't see Luo Lin's small figure.

Many people in the village were stunned when they saw the peach demon scene, and there were also many onlookers who came to watch along the way, and Luo Hanyan took this opportunity to ask the villagers in the neighborhood one by one if they had seen Luo Lin.

Many of these villagers know who Luo Hanyan is, some time ago they said that their house was divided into genealogy, and it didn't take long for her second uncle to have an affair, and now this girl is looking for her brother everywhere I don't know what happened.

The people who Luo Hanyan asked shook their heads and said that they didn't see Luo Lin, and while talking, their curious eyes kept looking at the peach demon scene beside her, and everyone was amazed by the peach demon scene, and at the same time, they couldn't help but speculate who this person was Luo Hanyan.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Luo Hanyan dragged her tired steps back home, and when she saw the lights on at home from a distance, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, and she hurriedly pulled out her legs and ran home, and the peach demon Jing followed closely.

"Mother!" Rushing to the door of the house with a hint of hope, Shen Miaoyun, who was sitting at the table in a daze, hurriedly stood up and asked excitedly, "Did you find Lin'er?" ”

As soon as she asked this, Luo Hanyan's face darkened, "No ......"

Shen Miaoyun panicked, retreated and sat down softly on the chair, and the blood on her face gradually receded, "No...... There won't be any surprises, right? ”

Luo Hanyan lowered her head slightly, panicking in her heart, she was also worried about this...... If it wasn't for some accident, why didn't Lin'er come back so late.

Peach Demon Jing followed in from outside, seeing the panicked look of the mother and daughter in front of him, his eyes darkened, and he subconsciously thought about whether he also had such a family, because he was afraid and worried because of his disappearance, and just wanted to say something, he suddenly heard a small call from outside.

Not only did he hear Shen Miaoyun and Luo Hanyan heard it, and the two of them quickly rushed out the door.

Outside the door stood a little boy of seven or eight years old, with a yellow face and a thin body, looking at them timidly with a pair of black eyes, not Luo Lin.

Luo Hanyan rushed to her throat and had to swallow it, this gap between joy and sorrow made her cry, the little boy in front of her was very unfamiliar, she searched in her mind and did not have the memory of this child.

But Shen Miaoyun beside him took a closer look at him, but he recognized who this kid was, wiped his slightly wet eyes sideways, turned around, and reluctantly smiled at the little boy, "Xiaozhu, why are you here." ”

The boy from Xiaozhu tugged at the corner of his clothes, buried his head, and said softly, "I saw Luo Lin......"

The voice was very low, and for a while, Luo Hanyan and her mother didn't hear clearly what the child was saying, so they asked, "What?" ”

The voice of the peach demon Jing Qingyun came from behind him, "He said he saw Luo Lin." ”

Xiaozhu looked at Luo Hanyan again and nodded silently, hearing the news, Luo Hanyan and her mother couldn't help but be happy, she just took a step forward but saw Xiaozhu seemed to be afraid of her and hurriedly retreated.

When Luo Hanyan saw it, he retracted his feet, and asked as gently as he could, "Xiaozhu, where did you see our Luo Lin?" Is it okay to tell your sister? ”

Xiaozhu twisted the corners of his clothes, as if he was struggling in his heart.

Seeing this situation, Luo Hanyan also knew that this was a very timid child, and it was not good to open his mouth and force him to speak for fear of scaring people away, and Shen Miaoyun next to him also knew that the two could only look at the thin bamboo in front of them.

Under their gaze, Xiaozhu seemed to be even more nervous, constantly looking at the direction behind him, as if he was going to run at any time, just when both sides were deadlocked, a figure suddenly fell next to Xiaozhu, and one arm encircled his thin body into his arms.

Xiaozhu jumped down like a frightened rabbit, and was held down by Peach Demon Jing, his eyes widened in panic, and he looked back at the man who circled him, his eyes were stunned after seeing Peach Demon Jing's appearance, but then he returned to his scared appearance, stretched out his hands and constantly pushed Peach Demon Jing.

"Open up, open up."

Peach Demon Jing easily fixed his small hands with one hand, and comforted him in a soft voice, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid, I won't hurt you, don't be afraid." ”

Raising his hand and touching Xiaozhu's withered yellow hair, Peach Demon Jing stared at Xiaozhu's eyes without blinking, and said with a soft smile on his lips, "Do you think I look like a bully?" ”

After hesitating for a while, Xiaozhu shook his head, and Peach Demon Jing smiled, "I don't think it's like it either, don't panic, I just want to ask where you saw Luo Lin?" Why didn't he come back and tell me okay? ”

Xiao Zhu's body trembled a little, as if he was afraid of getting too close to him, but Peach Demon Jing's hand kept slowly stroking his back and back down, and he didn't urge it, so he slowly soothed Xiao Zhu's emotions little by little.

Seeing this, Luo Hanyan could only wait on the sidelines, waiting for this very fragile Xiaozhu to calm down and make it clear what was going on.

However, seeing that he was afraid of becoming like this, Luo Hanyan was faintly afraid in his heart, could it be that he had encountered something bad when he touched his younger brother.

Luo Hanyan didn't know, but Shen Miaoyun knew, this Li Zhu's family was similar to her family, and she was also absent early, and there was a fierce grandmother in the family who beat and scolded their orphans and widows all day long, and sometimes drove the mother and son out of the house in the middle of the night and didn't let them in until late at night.

Or the people in the village looked at them pitifully and helped to talk to the old woman, so they put people into the house, and then this little bamboo grew bigger and bigger, and his personality became more and more withdrawn and cowardly, often playing alone, and hiding far away as soon as someone approached, sometimes once or twice Shen Miaoyun would occasionally hear Li Zhu's name from his son's mouth.
