Hua Li looked left and right, and saw that Li had no intention of getting angry, so he continued.

"Second brother, I'll usually come back at this time."

Now it's getting dark, and the second brother hasn't come back yet, something must have happened.

Hua Xiao also looked up in the direction of the door, lowered her eyes, and frowned quietly.

Li didn't care if Hua Yuhui came back or not, and when he heard Hua Li mention it, his expression didn't change much.

The dinner table was quiet, only the sound of the clashing of dishes and chopsticks, Hua Li bit her lip, brewing for so long, she only dared to say 'the second brother has not come back yet', and did not dare to propose to go out to find someone, let alone to propose to leave food for the second brother.

The Li family refused to agree, and Hua Li mentioned it in vain, and maybe he would be scolded by the Li family......

Until the end of dinner, the figure of Hua Yu was not seen, and there was no sound outside the low-walled house......

The night was dissolving, and only the big black dog next door was barking wildly.

Li lit a coal lamp and illuminated the dark courtyard yellow.

Hua Li and Hua Xiao sat in front of the threshold, blocking the gate of the courtyard, and from time to time stretched out their heads towards a dark village road, looking at it.

The worried look on the little face was very shallow.

Li Shi boiled water in the kitchen, tonight should be the day for her to take a bath, boiled the hot water, fetched several basins of well water into it, closed the kitchen door, and there was a sound of rushing water inside.

Hua Shi sat on a small bench under the eaves, listening to the sound of water coming from the kitchen, while waiting for Hua Yu, who had not returned home for a long time.

Lee would take a shower once a week and change into clean clothes every two days.

The small courtyard of the flower family is not big, and it is not small to say that it is small.

Two courtyards, four houses, one living room and one kitchen, the front and back yards are as big as two houses, four houses, Li and Grandpa Hua, who rarely shows up, one house, one house for Hua's father, one room for Hua Yu with three younger siblings, and one room for Hua Shi.

The hall is facing the courtyard gate, and there are houses on both sides of the entrance, and there is nothing else in the hall to visit the ranks of the ancestors of the Hua family. The kitchen is in the east corner, next to Lee's house.

Every week or so, Li will boil hot water and take a bath, because there is no shower room, he can only wash in the house, and Li washes in the kitchen for convenience.

The bathing place is easy to solve, so that the flower has been difficult to adapt to the toilet is.

A pit was dug in the backyard of the Hua family, and the perimeter was built with planks and firewood, which was very simple. A pit in the square is wide and deep, smelly, and there are many mosquitoes, so I squat on the edge of the pit when I go to the toilet.

Every time I go to the toilet, my buttocks, calves, and arms are full of mosquito packs, which are itchy and red.

This is also forgotten, because the edge of the pit is full of mud, which is soaked by fecal water, and it is easy to collapse and fall into it if you are not careful.

Every time I go to solve my physiological needs, I have no love for flowers, and I come out with a painful and numb face......

After thinking about it for a while, there was a sparse sound in the kitchen, and after a while, Li finished washing, took the dirty clothes, and pushed the door open and came out.

Hua Yu has not come back yet.

Li looked at the few children who were still gathered in the courtyard, his brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth to urge people to go to sleep.

Hua Xiao and Hua Li squatted at the gate of the courtyard, not moving, and Hua Ying also shrank in the corner, motionless.

“…… Can't you hear what I'm saying! I can't scream, my wings are hard, aren't they! ”

Seeing that the Li family was about to get angry again, he was furious.

Hua Li stood up, shrunk behind the door frame, and said uneasily, "Second brother, second brother must have something happened, and he hasn't come back so late...... Milk, let's go find the second brother. ”

Hua Li's eyes were red in a hurry, and his hands were hidden behind him, intertwined helplessly, and he was anxiously pinching himself.

Hua Xiao also stood up, her eyes were also red, and she looked at Li Shi with a blank eye.

Li Shi waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, it's not that you don't have long feet, you won't come back, forget it, what are you talking about, such a big person, what can happen." ”

Li Shi said, threw the dirty clothes he had changed into the basin, and asked Hua Xiao to wash her before going to sleep.

Immediately afterwards, he walked over in three or two steps, raised his hand and pinched Hua Li's ear, and with great strength, he dragged Hua Li into the yard at once.

Hua Li was dragged away, tears flowed from the pain, and she cried quietly.

Li didn't pay attention to it at all, and grabbed the back collar of the flower shadow that was shrinking in the corner, picked it up, and stuffed it into the house.

Under the dim coal lamp, Hua Xiao followed into the courtyard with a white face.

"Bang!"

Li directly closed the courtyard door, and also tied the door latch and locked it.

Li scolded two more sentences, but the little girl didn't dare to say a word, and silently walked over to wash the dirty clothes that Li had changed.

Hua Shizao stood up, and before he could speak, he was slashed by Li Shi with his eyes, and his fierce and harsh appearance did not allow her to say anything good.

Li urged her to go to sleep and not to meddle in things.

Under Lee's aggressive gaze, Hua Shi could only turn around and enter the house and close the door.

In the house next door, there was a faint cry of Hua Li's sobbing, because he didn't dare to howl and shout, he only covered his voice and sobbed slightly.

Half a ring, only the sound of the door closing from Li's house was heard, and the faint light of the coal lamp was also blocked in the door with the light of the door.

Outside the hospital, silence returned in a blink of an eye......

Hua Shi pricked up his ears to listen, and after making sure that Li's house was silent, he quietly pushed open the door and looked into the courtyard.

The moonlight and frost shone in the courtyard, and the olive trees outside the low walls, the branches swayed, and the shadows slanted in......

Two small figures, curled up under the eaves, pale and looking in the direction of the courtyard gate with anxiety.

Hearing the sound of the door opening from the room behind him, his expression suddenly became panicked, like a frightened bird.

After seeing the person who came, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and when neither of the two brothers and sisters was in the mood to take care of the flowers, they frowned worriedly and anxiously.

"I'll go find the second brother, you watch Xiaoying in the house." Hua Xiao frowned, thought for a long time, and said.

Hua Li pursed her lips and said anxiously, "No, I'll go with you to find it." ”

The village is so big, if you really want to look for it, you may not be able to find Tianming alone.

Hua Xiao shook her head, turned her head to look at the house in the corner, and said, "Xiaoying wants someone to watch, otherwise she will cry." ”

Hua Shi followed Hua Xiao's line of sight to the room where they were sleeping, and vaguely saw a small figure huddled behind the door frame, probing his brain......

Hua Li straightened his small chest and said, "You look at Xiaoying, I'll go find the second brother." ”

Hua Xiao didn't agree with his words, "I'm a sister, I should go to ......"

Hua Shi watched as the two radish heads, who were only eight years old, frowned solemnly, and began to argue with each other.

"Don't fight, no one has to go, just wait at home." Hua Shi walked over, one by one, and patted the two of them on the small shoulders.

Two dolls, blind in the black light, went to find someone, no light and no fire, in case they didn't look at the road, fell into the pond, fell into the river, and drowned no one knew.

What's more, the village is so big, and a child wandering around to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is too unrealistic.

It's also too dangerous, so it's better to wait at home.

She estimated that it was only seven or eight o'clock now, and it was not too late, so wait, if Huayu didn't come back after a while, she would go to the village to call someone again, and the big guys would look for it together.

Two dolls are fighting to find it, what's the matter......

Hua Xiao raised her head and glared at her, "What's the matter with you." ”

Hua Shi was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the barking of dogs in the alley, which became louder and louder, and the sound of footsteps mixed with it could be faintly heard......

Hua Shi raised his hand, pressed his lips, and whispered, "Shhhhhhh It seems to be back. ”

Hua Xiao and Hua Li turned their heads in unison and looked towards the courtyard gate.

Sure enough, after hearing a sound of rustling footsteps, the wooden door at the entrance of the courtyard was gently knocked......

Hua Xiaofei ran over, didn't dare to exert force, gently moved the latch of the door, and pulled the door open.

"Second brother!"

Hua Xiao screamed, looking at Hua Yu, who was soaked, the corners of her mouth were bruised, panting roughly, and she was embarrassed, her eyes were red, and tears flowed down.

Huali, who followed behind, ran over to help Huayu, and carefully walked into the courtyard.

Hua Li's eyes were panicked, and he asked in a low voice, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hua Yu was helped in by Hua Xiao and Hua Li, one by one.

Through the faint moonlight, when he saw the flowers standing under the eaves, he suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and his dark eyes flickered brightly and darkly, word by word,

"I'm fine..."

…
