Chapter 33: Start reading

"My brother-in-law was lost."
After finishing this, Dabao only looked at the lotus with a staring stare, but she was speechless for a moment, so she didn't wait for her to ask, and the matter was repeated from the beginning.
It is only said that Changsheng often goes to Lijiadi to work hard these days. Most of the time, he does not return home to eat at noon. He only sits on the ridge and waits. The four grandmothers knew his thoughts, and it was also from him that if no longevity came home at noon every day, she went to look at him in the field for a while, and then went back silently. At noon, my grandmother did not see Changsheng coming back, so she went to find someone in the field. Seeing that Changsheng was not there, she thought that she had gone to the Li family, and she came to the Li family to ask again. . Grandma Four was worried, and hurried to look elsewhere.
After the four grandmothers left, the lotus lady was not at ease, and she put her hand up and went out to find it. After searching for a long time in the village, when she was at the entrance of the village, she met a villager who came back from outside and said that she saw a long life. Standing in a daze on the road out of the village. The lotus lady quickly hurried out of the village to find, and she saw Changsheng standing on the road alone, but she went up to talk, and she ignored it, and the whole person lost her soul. The lotus lady guessed that she was here after chasing the lotus, and she persuaded her again. She only told him that the lotus went to Xinghua's house. She came back after two or three days, and said that she had talked to the lotus. Just go with his house, no longer angry. The lotus maiden said for a long time, but Changsheng didn't hear the silence. He had no choice but to go back to the village to find her grandmother. But when she found her four grandmothers, when she came back together, the longevity disappeared.
Longevity was gone. The Li family, the four grandma, and Zhou Fuzi, all around the village, searched all the places they could find. When the sky was dark, they didn't find the longevity. Everyone panicked, and the lotus lady wanted to see the scene of longevity in the daytime, only to say that it was Changsheng who listened to the lotus and went to Xinghua's house. Everyone thinks about the possibility, but also hopes for this reason. Because he had been to Wangjiazhuang with the lotus around the trail before longevity, everyone guessed that if he had gone, he must have followed the same path. In this way, Dabao reassured everyone at home, and found Wangjiazhuang all the way along the trail of Houshan. He was just afraid that Chang Sheng's mind was slow to remember and get lost. He walked and shouted along the way, searching for something along the way. It was late at night when Wangjiazhuang was there. At this time, listening to Chang Sheng's absence, it was completely out of ideas .
After listening to Dabao's words, the lotus became colder and colder, and couldn't wait to go back to the house to clear up the burden. He pulled Dabao and said: "Go home."
Xinghua said to Wang Fugen: "Go to Uncle Qian's house and borrow his carriage for use."
Wang Fugen was stunned for a while, reluctantly saying, "This is the middle of the night... Everyone is sleeping, how can I borrow..."
Xinghua was anxious and angry. When Dabao heard it, he became even more angry. I saw that the lotus ignored them and ran out. They didn't care how to get angry. They pointed at Fang Wangwang and hurriedly chased them out. Seeing the two have left, Xinghua rushed to Wang Fugen's air: "Your heart is still not popular!"
Wang Fugen whispered his lips and saw Xinghua stared at him, and then said across his face: "Why, it's not that you lost the man, what kind of heart do you follow... Knowing that a man is a fool Stay well at home, it’s okay to come to other people’s business for a while...Look at her next time and leave it alone..."
Xinghua was stunned, and her heart and mouth were so bleeding that she gritted her teeth and cried, "I have committed sins in my life, and I will marry you like a beast of a beast!"
I only said that lotus and dabao ran back along the path. On the way, lotus was also running and shouting. In my heart, I only hoped where the longevity nest was. When I heard her voice, it came out, but until the two were sweating, Gasping back to the village, he never saw the shadow of longevity.
Entering the village, the lotus didn't return to his mother's house, and went straight to his house. When he pushed the door, he and the house of Changsheng were black with lights, and his heart was cold. Grandma Four listened to the movement in the house, and hurriedly went out to see the lotus and dabao. Her body was soft and soft, so she wouldn't ask.
Zhou Fuzi stayed with Grandma Four for one night. At this time, he hurried forward to ask about the situation. The lotus panted heavily, his eyes straightened, but Dabao shook his head anxiously: "No...no Go... my brother-in-law didn't go..."
The lotus shivered in a trance and murmured: "I'm going to find it... he's probably lost... I'm looking for it..." Then he turned away and walked away like a soul.
The four grandmothers were going to follow them, but their heads fainted and almost fell. Zhou Fuzi helped her quickly and said anxiously, "How do you find it like this?" He said to Dabao again, "You follow your sister, where is she going to find a woman in the middle of the night? Greet Shangcun for a while It’s the men in there who are looking for it together.
Dabao followed the lotus and hurried out.
Zhou Fuzi pulled another four grandma, saw her insisted to go out, said: "You are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay at home, in case longevity comes back, seeing that there is no one in the family can be worse."
Zhou Fuzi persuaded his four grandmothers to stay with her at home, and Dabao returned to Li's house by pulling the lotus. The whole family of Li's family has been waiting for the news. It is said that Changsheng didn't go to Wangjiazhuang at all. The lotus maiden even shed her tears and blamed herself: "I blame me, blame me, I should have pulled him back when I saw him, and if I had to pull it back, nothing would happen... I should not follow He said you went to Xinghua's house...how is this good...''
The lotus father said impatiently: "Cry or cry, if you are not dead, you will cry and be mourned. You won't do anything else."
The lotus flower has no gods at all, and she was even more panicked by her mother crying. Hearing what his father said, "people die" and "crying mourning," wherever he sat, he stood up and walked out.
"What are you doing!" Dad Lotus said.
One night, the lotus that didn't stay at home seemed to be screamed back by her father's cold cry, and the tears finally fell down: "I went to him...he didn't lose...he just lost his way, he must be sitting there waiting And me……"
The weeping of the lotus without any sign made the atmosphere in the room suddenly deeper.
The fat girl stepped forward timidly and pulled the lotus whispered, "Sister, let me go with you..."
The lotus maiden also said: "I will go with you too, so many people are easy to find."
The three women said that they were going to go out, and the lotus father shouted with his face, "Stop it for me!"
The lotus mother and the fat girl were trembling with fright, and looked back at the lotus father uneasy. Lotus also stood at the door, but did not look back.
The lotus father said: "A group of uneasy people, they haven't found it for a day, but you girls can find it when they go out in the middle of the night?"
"I can find it." The lotus said with tears and stubbornness. "He didn't lose it. He must be hiding somewhere. Waiting for me to find him... I'll call him. He will definitely come out when he hears me. He just deliberately hid. Then... I can find him by myself..."
Father Lotus glared at Lotus for a while, frowning for a while, and said to her lotus with a sullen face: "Go inside and bring my clothes."
The lotus stunned for a moment, and hurried back to the back room. The lotus father said to Dabao again: "Go to your third uncle's house, call him and his boys, then call Jinlu and their brothers, and bring the guy over."
Dabao came out of the house, and Xiaobao also got out of the house at this moment. He put on his clothes early and said: "Dad, I will go too."
The lotus father said: "What are you doing, it's not enough to add chaos."
Xiao Baodao: "I'm going to work, my brother-in-law is best with me, and I will come out as soon as I call him."
Lotus twisted her eyebrows and glared to get angry, and the fat the side quickly pulled Xiaobao aside. It didn't take long for Dabao to bring people, in addition to the lotus father's call, also called his brothers from childhood to big, plus their two grandfathers, a dozen men, lit the torches, It was quite a battle with a stick.
The lotus stood at the door with her head down silently and tears silently, just follow the crowd out. The lotus dad wanted to drink her back, thought for a while, and just sighed, and took a few people to look out along the path of the village entrance. Lotus took Dabao and four or five guys to find the mountain behind the village.
In the middle of the night, a few people raised their torches, but they couldn't take too long. When the lotus left the village, he started to shout, and he shouted into the mountain all the way:
"Eternal life! Eternal life! I am a lotus! Where are you?"
"Eternal life! You should speak! Eternal life!"
"Eternal life! I am not angry anymore! I will go home with you! Eternal life! Come out!"
"Eternal life! Don't hide! You come out! Eternal life!"
"Eternal life! Eternal life!!! Eternal life!!!"
The lotus hunted and shouted all the way. He always felt that he was hiding where he lived, as if he would come out next time, looking at her with his head down and his eyes closed, grieved and angry, but no matter how she screamed, she cried and shouted, It was scolding and begging, until dawn dawned on the horizon, and longevity never appeared.
The guys who followed him were all tired and frustrated, and they felt more and more hopeless, but they couldn't bear to go back when they saw the lotus lost its soul. Everyone searched for a whole night before someone stepped forward and said: "Sister Lotus... …It's dawning...we've all found a place this night, I see...''
The lotus that has been tortured all night has no energy, and just walks around aimlessly, listening to someone talking to her, just like an unconscious response: "Yes... come back... I will look for..." It's still a long way off, and I haven't found it there yet..."
Dabao pulled her away and said anxiously: "There are all puddles over there. It's not a joke to get stuck in it."
Not only did the lotus not return, but instead he walked in more panic, nervously muttering: "Your brother-in-law doesn't know...he doesn't know there is a puddle here...I want to get stuck...I don't go inside, I just Go and see... just take a look..."
Dabao dragged out while holding the lotus and said, "My brother-in-law is not blind, even if he doesn't know the way, he can't plunge into this deep grass pit."
Lotus turned around and grabbed Dabao, trembling and said, "Then where did you say he went? Where can he go alone? I think he can't find his home in the dark, so he has to find a place to rest No? But all the places on the mountain where Tibetans can be found have been searched. Why not? Where do you say he can go? He hasn’t been out of the village since childhood, where can he go? Ah? You? Say where can he go?"
Dabao was so scared to see the lotus flower. There was a mad widow in Qianshuzi Village, that is, the man went out for a day and never came back. She was so anxious that she would only pull people and mumble all day. "You said where did he go?" When I walked in the morning, I said that I would drink jujube porridge at night. Why didn’t I come back? Where do you say he can go?" Dabao looked straight at the lotus eyes, and these are the words that come and go, which makes people think of it. The crazy widow, holding the lotus tightly, persuaded: "Relax, my brother-in-law is such a big man, even if he hasn't been far away, he can't lose it... I think, let's go home first, maybe our father found it. I’m not sure, or maybe my brother-in-law came home by himself... Let’s go home and see, if we don’t, we will look elsewhere.
Several other people also fought and persuaded them, saying only that they would go back. The lotus had no idea at all. At this moment, there was only this last hope, nodded: "Yes, go back and see, Xu is back, I said he can't go home all night... your brother-in-law A rib, when you do it, you can do it in your heart. You can't change it with a knife...you can't go home all night, you must go back..."
The lotus came back home with several people in Dabao, who persuaded and coaxed, but it was not the eternal life that came out to greet her, but the four grandma with the same haggard look.
Longevity is really gone, a string that has been tight in my heart is broken, and the lotus eyes are black, completely unable to support the soft body.
Long life has not been seen for four days. The Li family, Huo family, and even those who are close and enthusiastic in the village have never stopped looking for it, and there has been no result. Lotus thought about what the two said when they were separated. I was afraid that it was the letter of Changsheng Yijin who thought that he really ran to the county, but Dabao ran back and said that Sun Xuemei had never seen Changsheng ever there. She heard this. I was also very worried. He also said that the lotus shouldn't worry. His man was in the office. He asked some servants to go with him to find it. No matter what the relationship between Changsheng and Sun Xuemei is at this moment, just thinking that if Sun Xuemei's man can help get Longevity back, she is also willing to let her kneel on the ground and give her a bang.
Grandma Four did not lose her soul as much as the lotus, and tears did not drop in these few days. When the lotus kneeled in front of her and blamed herself, she did not say a word of complaint, only clapped her hand and said, "Cry what Crying, your man is not dead. His father and his mother, his grandfather and his grandmother are blessing him in the sky, can't let him have anything to do!" It was not the search from the mountain front or the mountain back, or a person walking to Huo's ancestral tomb, stunned at the graves of long-lived fathers and grandparents, one stop was two or three hours.
But the lotus is completely devoid of the core of the heart, and it does not do anything every day. It only finds people everywhere. Its throat has long been dumb, and it can't speak at all. , I can't eat and sleep all day, sometimes tired and can take a nap, but I wake up from my dream in less than a moment, and I shed tears for a while. After a few days, people have lost a large circle.
The mother-in-law watched it all and was distressed. Her mother and fat girl took turns to accompany her comfortably. Even the hard-tempered lotus father said soft words of relief, but it didn’t work anyway. One day haggard, his eyes were gone. She doesn't look like a family member, she can't bear to watch even irrelevant outsiders. The people in the village who loved to chew their tongues were completely speechless this time, and all they could find were helped to find them. They also told relatives who lived in other villages all over the place. If they saw a tall, strong, silly man Wanla didn't let it go, his daughter-in-law in our village was going crazy.
Lotus didn't know if he was crazy or not, but he just felt like he was going to die. Her mother-in-law once said to her: The man is the pillar of the family, supporting the sky. Without him, this day would be impossible. Although she understood this reason, she hadn't paid much attention to it. Now she understands that longevity is the pillar of her house, and she tied her heart to it. If the pillar is gone, it won’t wait for the sky to fall down and smash her to death. Only if the heart hurts like a heart, she can ask her. 'S life goes.
In the past few days, she always thought about the scene when she last met with Changsheng, every time she scolded herself thousands of times, even sitting on the kang in a daze when there was no one in the middle of the night. Big mouth. It was she who scolded Longevity away. She knew he was stupid. He still wanted to say those cruel words. She only cared about herself and did not consider how he would feel when he heard it. She is not worthy of being a daughter-in-law to others, and is not worthy to be a wife to longevity.
He was already very good to her. He listened to what she said and asked him to do whatever he wanted. All I knew was that she stupidly hurt her daughter-in-law and protected her daughter-in-law. She was greedy and did not know how to be satisfied. In fact, now I want to think about it. Does it matter if he hurts "Li Hehua" or "wife"? Her Li Hehua is Huo Changsheng's daughter-in-law, and it will never change. She doesn't even care if he likes Sun Xuemei any more, as long as she can see him every day and guard him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't put her at ease in her life... as long as he is safe...
