Chapter 5: Pierce
Mr. Wan held a large lobster and threw it into the back basket. When he turned his head and saw Mrs. Mei was still there, he could not help frowning and asked, “What’s wrong with you today? already.”
Mei Shi’s hand holding the basket trembled.
Wan didn’t pay attention, and continued to look for things and taught a lesson: “Several children are at home waiting for us to go back to cook, Baolu is better, Jun Jun is not worth it, and I don’t know if she is afraid at home… ”
Mai’s face turned even paler. She raised her head and glanced at her mother-in-law walking in front of her, and then at the sea where Li Kang and his wife were buried. She thought that her sister-in-law had always been kind to her, and her uncle always helped their second room…
She disliked Baolu’s stupidity, and disliked her for being an oil bottle, but it didn’t mean that she wanted to abandon her, after all, it was the only bloodline of the big house.
Mrs. Mei gritted her teeth, hurried forward and knelt in front of Mrs. Wan with a thud.
“What are you doing?” Wan Shi froze, took two steps back and stared at her.
Mrs. Mei grabbed her trousers with shaking hands, and said with a pale face: “Mother, save Baolu, Xianggong, he…”
Mei’s eyes were full of anxiety, but she really couldn’t say the dirty thing.
Wan’s face has changed drastically, the worry that has been hiding in her heart suddenly sprouts and grows into a towering tree, she pushes away Mei’s hand, throws the basket behind her and runs towards the house.
Mai sat on the ground crying, she knew she was done.
If Li Hong knew that she betrayed her, she still didn’t know how to beat her, and her mother-in-law would also blame her, so she was no longer a person at home and abroad.
But even so, although my heart is sad, I do not regret it.
Wan ran home panting, opened the door and shouted, “Baolu, Baolu!”
There was no sound in the room, Wan shi’s hands and feet were cold, and she stumbled to open her and Baolu’s room, only to see that the wardrobe door was open, and there was no one in the room.
Baolu never goes out to play. Mostly, she sits at the gate and waits for her to come home. At this time, where is she when she is not at home?
Wan was so impatient, he turned around and ran towards the village, and ran into Li Hong before leaving the gate.
Seeing the second son, Wan Shi’s eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed his arm and asked, “Where did you take Baolu?”
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, panic flashed in his eyes, but he asked calmly, “What did you say, mother, what happened to Baolu?”
Wan stared at his eyes and asked, “You took Baolu out, why didn’t you bring her back, how about her?”
“Isn’t Baolu at home, when did I take her out?” Li Hong looked at his mother with innocent eyes.
Tomoko Mo Ruomu, Mrs Wan knew at a glance that he was lying, and deceived him: “Someone saw him on the road, tell me, where did you take Baolu? She is still a child, how dare you leave her alone outside?”
The smile on Li Hong’s face gradually disappeared, showing a sad look, and he whispered: “Baolu is clamoring for her parents, I saw that she was crying so badly, so I took her to the cemetery, and she saw that the grave was not. I cried, I saw that she was well-behaved, and I had a stomach ache again, so I asked her to wait for me where I was, so I could relieve myself, who would have disappeared when I came out.”
Li Hong looked at his mother sadly and said, “I came back to find someone to find her, mother, I was afraid you couldn’t bear the news, so I didn’t dare to tell you at first.”
Wan’s body swayed twice, and she felt a pain in her heart under the tumult of her emotions. She suppressed the sweetness in her throat and stared at Li Hong for a while with red eyes. Then she reached out and pushed him away, and ran to find someone for help. people.
Li Hong felt a little guilty, but his face was sullen. He knew that his mother would be suspicious of his statement, but as long as there was no evidence, one day he would be able to coax the matter to the surface.
In fact, he has a better reasoning. Before, he thought that he was carrying Baolu out and no one saw him, as long as he came back at night and couldn’t find Baolu, he said that she went out and lost it by himself.
Here is facing the sea on one side and mountains on the other side. It is normal for people to find their way home when they go out. Moreover, Baolu was a fool in the past, but unfortunately his mother came back before he cleaned his tail.
Thinking of this, Li Hong frowned. Wasn’t his mother stumbled by Mei’s footsteps? Why did he come back so early?
Li Hong was thinking about it. Mrs Wan had already called a few people and rushed up to grab his hand and asked, “Where did you lose Baolu? Take us to find it.”
Li Hong didn’t have time to think about it, pretended to be sad and anxious, and took everyone to the cemetery.
Everyone spread out with the cemetery as the center, but naturally they couldn’t find a trace.
Wan immediately knew that Li Hong was afraid that he was not telling the truth. Baolu was always well-behaved and would not walk around.
But now Li Hong is the only one who knows Baolu’s whereabouts. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, Wan becomes more and more anxious. The mountains and forests are very dangerous, especially at night. If she can’t find Baolu again, she will be in danger. .
Mrs Wan grabbed Li Hong’s hand tightly, dragged him to the tomb of Li Kang and his wife, and cried to him: “Hong’er, we are sorry for your elder brother and sister-in-law, Baolu is their only bloodline, if I even I can’t keep this bloodline, what am I doing alive?”
Li Hong’s face was ugly, he hugged his mother and said, “Mother, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have left Baolu here alone, if the elder brother and sister-in-law are to blame, it is also my fault.”
“Did you really leave Baolu here?” Wan shi stared at him and asked sharply, “If you think about it carefully, maybe it was left somewhere else.”
Li Hong watched her silently.
Wan said: “Hong’er, you and your eldest brother have a deep brotherhood. Your eldest brother has let you down since he was a child. Whatever you like or want, your eldest brother will try his best to get it for you. Our family was sentenced to Exiled, the journey from the capital to Qiongzhou is a long way, your body is too weak to bear it, and you fall ill on the way. Your father prescribed the medicine, but there is no medicine. It was your elder brother who kowtowed to the **** yamen and made them stay for two more days. Qing asked him to go up the mountain to collect medicine, in order to collect medicine for you, your eldest brother should limit some to fall from the mountain…”
“When we got here, your father was not in good health. For the first two years, it was only because of your elder brother’s hard work that we could live here. In order to marry you, your elder brother went out to sea day and night, if it weren’t for you…”
“If it wasn’t for my eldest brother, I wouldn’t have married my sister-in-law in twenty-seven, and I wouldn’t have given birth to a fool because of my body.” Li Hong pushed his mother away and said resentfully, “Everything is for me, you guys. They all think that he is better than me, and that I am incompetent, so why does his daughter ask me to support him? Wouldn’t it be better if he took him with him?”
“Beast!” Mrs Wan slapped him angrily and said angrily, “He is your own brother and Baolu is your own niece, how can you do this?”
“What’s more, why do you want to be raised? The money your elder brother and elder sister-in-law left for the family, let alone raising one Baolu, is more than enough to raise three. You have ambition and backbone, so why should you use the money left by your father and brother? money?”
Li Hong’s eyes were red, staring at his mother hatefully, biting his lips and saying nothing.
Wan was extremely disappointed, but stared at him sharply and asked, “I’ll ask you again, where did you leave Baolu?”
Li Hong turned his head away without speaking.
Mrs. Wan was in a hurry. Since the window paper was punctured, she didn’t want to mend it. She beat him directly and scolded: “You’ve lost everything of conscience, aren’t you afraid of thunder and lightning? If you don’t say anything else, I’ll tell the chief to go.”
Li Hong sneered, “How many children are drowned every year in this area? Do you think the chief will take care of it?”
“The rior doesn’t care if it’s because it was their parents or grandparents who drowned the child, but you’re just Baolu’s uncle. You killed Baolu for the sake of money. I’m going to sue you, do you think the rior cares or doesn’t care? ”
Li Hong gritted his teeth and said with red eyes: “I am also your son. I want to kill my own son and three grandchildren for a granddaughter. Mother, can you do it? Or is the eldest brother your son, and I am your pick on the street? come?”
Shi Wan shook his body twice in anger, and said ruthlessly, “If you don’t say anything again, you can see how ruthless I am!”
After pushing Li Hong away, he was about to run out. Li Hong hurriedly held people back, but he didn’t dare to go too far. Did he watch from a distance when he didn’t see someone who came to help him?
They kept their voices low so that outsiders couldn’t hear him, but if he did other actions, he wouldn’t be able to hide it.
Li Hong calculated the time, and saw that it was getting dark again, so he told them at this time, I was afraid that Baolu would not be found, and even if he found it, it was probably a corpse.
At that time, he deliberately took people into the deep mountains, and a child stayed there alone, even if he was not scared to death, he would be taken by wild animals.
At this time, little classmate Li Baolu was not scared to death, but she was dying of thirst.
Her backpack was too small, so it wouldn’t be able to hold water after she loaded those things. At that time, Li Hong was moving too fast, and she didn’t have time to get the water bottle.
As soon as Li Hong left, she took out the contents in her backpack, took the insect-proof powder with her, and tugged another bag in her hand for emergencies.
It is not difficult to recognize the road, because Li Hong left traces after walking, and Baolu still has the ability to recognize this.
But she has small arms and calves, and she is still short. When she passes through some dense grass, she is simply buried by grass. This is not a good experience, even if she has done a good job of psychological construction.
After walking most of the way, it was getting dark and hungry, she took out the wild vegetable buns in her bag to eat, and sadly found that she forgot to bring the most important thing for survival – water!
Li Baolu felt that her throat was smoking, and her mouth was bulging with wild vegetable buns. She looked around, and felt that finding a small river/stream/puddle in this virgin forest was like going to the sky. She could only focus on those on leaves/stems.
Li Baolu swallowed the food in her mouth vigorously, wandered around a few larger branches and leaves, and finally took out the courage of Shennong to taste the herbs and carefully tore off a fat leaf, and then sucked the juice from the incision.
A green and strange taste exploded on the tongue, Li Baolu blinked and hesitated for a while, but closed her eyes and continued to nibble on the leaf…
In order to survive, she also worked hard enough!
