Farmer's happy event

Chapter 93
Li Zi was holding a chicken leg in his hand, and was eating it with relish, when suddenly his mother nudged her father with her elbow, and said anxiously: "Her father, why don't you go and have a look, welcome."

Lianzi had been gone for a long time, and it was already dark at this time. Although his home was not far from the fish pond, and it was a familiar road, Yang still couldn't let go, and was faintly worried.

"Hey", Liu Jingren agreed, got up and walked out.

It was the end of the month, and although it had only been dark for a while, you could hardly see outside. Liu Jingren walked out of the main room a few steps, turned back, lit an oil lamp, and carried it out.

He thought to himself that holding a lamp, Lianzi could see it even from a long distance away.

Unexpectedly, he didn't see lotus seeds along the way, and he still couldn't find them when he reached the fish pond.

Liu Ping'an and his wife had already finished their meal at this time, and when they saw Liu Jingren coming with a light, they thought something was wrong, so they hurried out of the house.

"Are the lotus seeds here?" Liu Jingren asked.

Liu Pingan hurriedly replied: "No, I've been walking for a while. It was still dark when I left. I said hello to her aunt before leaving. It's time to get home."

"What?" Liu Jingren panicked, "Why didn't you come home?"

Liu Ping's daughter-in-law Zhang said: "It's really gone. If I go home, I should have arrived long ago. Maybe I went to another place."

Liu Jingren was not in the mood to elaborate, and hurriedly turned back along the original road.From the fish pond to his house, there is only one road. If Lianzi wants to go home, he will definitely take this road.

However, Liu Jingren looked around on the road, but there was still no one, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest.

"Girl, is Lianzi back yet?" Liu Jingren yelled towards the house before entering the gate.

Mrs. Yang came out of the main room hurriedly, with a serious expression on her face, she shook her head and said, "No, not yet."

"Are you going somewhere else?" Liu Jingren looked at Yang and asked, how he hoped that Yang would say yes.

However, Mrs. Yang said with certainty: "Impossible, that child has always been a steady and sensible person, and he will tell me first wherever he is going."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were extremely flustered, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Then let's go out and look for it, maybe things are in a hurry and we don't have time to talk about it." Gu Zi came out of the house and said.

Only then did Yang and Liu Jingren come to their senses, and said to Gu Zi: "You stay at home and take care of your younger sister. I'll go to your grandma's house and your grandma's house. If Lianzi comes back, let her eat first."

"Hey", Gu Zi agreed, seeing Yang Shi and Liu Jingren walking out of the house quickly.

It was the end of August at this time, and the thin single shirt could no longer resist the autumn coolness at night, Gu Zi tightened the clothes on her body, thinking that her parents didn't have time to get a pair of clothes when they went out.

"This lotus seed, why are you messing around? I won't teach her a lesson when she comes back!" Li Zi said angrily, but her face was full of worry, and she had long since lost the mood of eating chicken as before.

Guzi comforted Douzi and Lizi, telling them not to worry, maybe Lianzi would be back soon.

But they waited and waited at home, but they didn't see that little exquisite figure come back.

After Yang Shi and Liu Jingren left the house, they first went to Zhao Shi's house, but the news they got was that Lian Zi hadn't been to her house.This made Yang even more worried.

Afterwards, the two went to their hometown, maybe they went there to talk with Xing'er.However, the result still made Yang and Liu Jingren restless.

Never been, never been, never seen.

I searched several companies and got the same answer.

"Father, where did your daughter go?" Yang couldn't bear it any longer, tears burst out instantly.

Liu Jingren also felt uncomfortable. She was a nine-year-old girl, and she was walking at night alone, so she had to worry about putting it on anyone.

Except for Huzi's house, Lianzi didn't often go out with the villagers. Yang and Liu Jingren couldn't think of where she could go.

"Let's go to the fish pond to have a look again, maybe we left and went back, Ping'an and his wife didn't see it." Liu Jingren said.

Yang wiped away her tears, nodded and followed Liu Jingren away.

Since Liu Jingren left, Liu Ping'an and his wife were also very worried. Lianzi is such a good girl, if something happens, it will make people feel distressed to death.

When Liu Jingren and Yang Shi arrived at the fish pond, Liu Ping'an and his wife hurried out to ask if they had found it.

With such a question, Yang's tears burst down again in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhang's eyes were filled with tears.

"Let's look around here again, maybe we turned back halfway." Liu Jingren said, holding a kerosene lamp as he spoke, and started calling for lotus seeds along the bank of the fish pond.

Several people searched around, but still did not get the slightest response.

It was already late at night, and Mrs. Zhang said to Mrs. Yang: "Sister-in-law, it's time now, why don't you go home and have a look, if you can go home, you should go back."

With tears in her eyes, Yang nodded and walked home with Liu Jingren.

If you haven't gone back, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back.

Walking slowly on the road, the two looked around and called Lianzi's name at the same time.No one answered, but Mrs. Yang still had some luck in her heart, maybe she was at home now.Yes, already at home.

When I got home, I saw three girls sitting side by side on the threshold, but there was no other child.

Yang Shi only felt a block in her heart, and when her eyes went dark, she was about to fall backwards.Fortunately, Liu Jingren had sharp eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly supported her.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang had fainted, the three children hurried over, calling for their mothers, and pinching others.

After a lot of tossing, Yang woke up slowly, her eyes were empty, and before they were fully opened, tears flowed out.

When Lianzi was judged by Xuan, she just didn't believe that the child was really gone, and held her to keep her from being touched by others, and she was not allowed to be buried. This saved her daughter's life.She no longer wants to experience the feeling of watching the child leave her, but she is powerless, the feeling of being suffocated, making people want to die.

That night, the whole family couldn't sleep, or they cried quietly or hugged each other, maybe how many times they cried.

That night, the door of the house was wide open, and the door was not bolted, just waiting for Lianzi to come in directly when she came back.

But waited until dawn, still did not see the shadow of lotus seeds.

Liu Jingren sighed and said, "Report to the officials."

When Yang heard this, she was choked up and unable to speak, so she nodded.

Liu Jingren hitched the carriage, and when he passed the fishpond, he entrusted Liu Ping'an and his wife to take care of other things at home, then he slapped the horse's whip hard on the horse's buttocks, and galloped forward.

This morning, Su Keyan was still the same as usual, getting up at dawn, reciting poems and books in the woods behind the school house, waiting for students to come one after another, then collecting the books and entering the school .

He just sat down on his seat and was about to mark the book with a pen, when a tiger rushed over like a gust of wind and stood in front of him, panting.

"What's wrong? In such a hurry?" Su Keyan laughed.

Huzi seemed to swallow hard, and said, "Lianzi, the lotus seeds are gone."

What are you kidding?How could the lotus seeds disappear?
At first Su Keyan thought that Huzi was just joking, but seeing his anxious and serious expression, he couldn't feel at ease anymore.

"What are you talking about? Why are the lotus seeds missing?" Su Keyan asked anxiously.

At this time, Huzi calmed down a little because of his running all the way, and said: "Last night, Lianzi's parents went to my house to look for them. They said they left from the fish pond and didn't go home. They haven't returned yet this morning." When I came back, I already went to report to the official. Why didn’t I—hey, why did you go?”

Before he finished speaking, Su Keyan dropped the pen in his hand and ran out quickly.The writing brush he dropped rolled on the table a few times, blackening a large page of the book.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Zihe, who had just entered the door, didn't pay attention for a moment, and was staggered by Su Keyan, who rushed out of the door, "Why are you in such a hurry?" He said to himself.

This guy always looks confident, calm and steady on weekdays, I have never seen him so anxious.

"The lotus seeds are gone." Hu Zi congratulated Zhang Zi again, repeating what he said just now.

Zhang Zihe let out a "chi" sound, walked back to his seat and sat down, "Isn't she patient? She won't lose it so easily."

That being said, the nervous expression on his face had already betrayed him.After sitting down for a blink of an eye, he stood up again, just like Su Keyan just now, and rushed out the door.

Both of them left, although Huzi didn't know what they were doing, but he couldn't help him, so he could only be anxious anyway.

The bell for class rang soon after. Su Keyan and Zhang Zihe were not there. Although Huzi was in class, he was also absent-minded. He didn't pay attention to what the teacher said.

Zhang Zihe ran wildly all the way, without taking a break on the road, he went directly to Lianzi's house.

When I arrived at Lianzi's house, I saw Guzi, Douzi and Lizi sitting on the threshold of their house listlessly.Even Li Zi, who didn't like to see him the most on weekdays, saw him coming, and she didn't feel like chasing him away or bickering with him.

Zhang Zihe didn't know what to do for a while, so he simply sat down on the threshold.

"Quick, prepare the horse." Su Keyan said to the servant as soon as he entered the house.

Lu Kun was at a loss, it was time for class, why did he come back now?

"Master, where are you going?" Lu Kun asked.

Su Keyan didn't have the mood to elaborate, he just said: "Go back to the city."

Lu Kun didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly prepared his horse.

Su Keyan flipped onto the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves. Su Keyan hugged the horse's neck tightly so that it didn't fall off.

He has been learning how to ride for more than a year, but he has never ridden a horse alone.However, the situation is urgent at this time, so I can't control so much, the speed of the carriage is too slow.

Before Lu Kun could lead his horse to follow, he saw that his young master had already left.

Su Keyan ran all the way, and stopped in front of the gate of the county government that he was familiar with.

The guard on duty at the gate recognized him, trotted over to lead the horse for him, and said with a smile, "Master, why are you here?"

"Did someone report missing just now?" Su Keyan asked anxiously.

The guard was curious for a while, many people reported missing throughout the year, why did this young man take care of him this time?But he still replied immediately: "Yes, just now a couple from the countryside came to report that their daughter is missing, and they have only been gone for a while."

Su Keyan stopped talking to him, ran in to find the leader of the group of guards, told him a few words, and urged him to bring someone to find him.

The lotus seeds disappeared after it got dark yesterday, and the city gates had been closed long ago, so they might still be hiding in the city at this time, as long as they search hard, they might be able to find them.

As a result, Su Keyan had no intention of going back to study, instead, he followed the guards and searched around in this small county town.

At this time, an ox cart filled with half a load of straw was waiting in line at the gate of the city to leave the city.

　Second more sent.
