Pastoral little master

Chapter 15 Doubtful Points
Wu's tone was impatient.

The expression on his face was a bit complicated, with expectations and sadness at the same time.

Seven years ago, wasn't it the year when Qiduo lost her voice?
This was what Qiduo thought of instantly.

But Qiduo was really confused about what Wu Shi said.

"Sanniang, what are you talking about?" she asked with a frown.

Qiduo didn't know, but Mrs. Xu immediately remembered what happened, and her face darkened.

"Sanniang, Duo was still young at that time, and all these years have passed, how could she remember these things.

Besides, Duo's body hasn't recovered yet, so you can ask again later. " Xu said.

But Qiduo was aroused curiosity.

What was it that made Mrs. Wu lower her figure and come to thank her?

And she also wanted to know why Qiduo lost her voice back then.

"Mother, I'm fine. Since Sanniang came here on purpose, you can let her ask." Qiduo took Xu's arm affectionately and said softly.

Looking at the seven sparkling eyes, Xu couldn't bear to refute her face.

"Yes." Mrs. Xu nodded lightly, and told Mrs. Wu, "Sanniang, if Qiduo doesn't remember, don't push me any further, otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry."

Mrs. Wu nodded hurriedly, "Ma'am, don't worry, it won't happen this time. Oh, it wasn't too sad back then."

Xu's complexion also darkened.

Wiping the corner of her eyes, Wu looked at Qiduo and asked, "Duo, seven years ago, when you went out with Wulang, how did he fall off the cliff? Did you meet someone or a beast?"

fifth brother?Fall off a cliff?
These few words hit Qiduo's dusty memory again and again.

The fifth elder brother mentioned by Mrs. Wu is Tan Jiawulang, Mrs. Wu's youngest son.

If she hadn't mentioned it, Qiduo would have really forgotten that Tan Wulang was dead.

Her mood has changed from initial curiosity to solemnity.

According to what Wu said, Wulang and Qiduo went out together, but what happened made Wulang disappear and Qiduo became dumb.

It's just a pity that she was only four years old back then, and now she can't remember what happened back then.

Facing Wu's expectant eyes, Qiduo shook her head sadly, "San Niang, I thought about it carefully, but I can't remember anything."

"Why can't you remember, Qiduo, think about it again?" Wu said very disappointed.

Mrs. Xu immediately said, "Sanniang, think about it yourself, what a four-year-old child can remember. Qiduo won't lie, if she remembers, she will tell."

In fact, she also really wanted to know what terrible things happened that year.

That day was the day when Qiduo's second aunt, Tan Juhua, got married. The whole family was busy, and no one noticed that Wulang took Qiduo to the back mountain.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that the family realized that the two of them had disappeared.

Mr. Tan went to find the security chief and mobilized the whole village to find him together.

Finally, at the foot of a cliff on the north side of the back mountain, he found Goro bleeding all over his face. He was out of breath at the time, holding two blood-stained azaleas in his small hands.

Qiduo was lying unconscious at the foot of the south side of the back mountain, with some injuries to the back of her head.

She won't talk when she wakes up.

The doctors all said that Qi Duo must have lost her voice due to fright or trauma to the back of her head.

Back then, Mrs. Wu came many times to ask what happened to Qiduo.

The young Qiduo had just lost her voice at that time, facing Wu's tight pressure, she fell seriously ill and lay on the bed for more than half a month.

After he recovered from his illness, he also became dull and foolish, and even trembled when he saw Mrs. Wu.

It took almost two years before Qiduo gradually became normal.

Xu's heart ached when she thought about Qiduo's terrified eyes when she looked at Wu's back then.

Therefore, Xu dislikes Wu very much.

When Mrs. Wu mentioned this matter again, Mrs. Xu was worried that the scene from that year would repeat itself, so she stopped her from speaking.

Wu's expression fell, he let out a long sigh, and said after a while, "Yes, seven years have passed, let alone Qiduo, even I have forgotten some things."

At this moment, she seemed to have aged a few years.

The voice was a little hoarse.

Qiduo comforted in a soft voice, "San Niang, don't worry, if I think of anything, I will tell you anytime."

Mrs. Wu nodded lightly, "Hey, good boy, I'm leaving."

She got up and stood up and walked towards the door. When she reached out to push the door, she stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to be more careful, and you can't just send Qiduo away without knowing why. Beware of someone Playing tricks behind your back."

Xu's eyes froze, she took two steps forward, held Wu's hand tightly, and asked in a low voice, "San Niang, do you know something?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head, "I don't know anything, it's just that Duo helped Xiaolizi today, and I don't want to see anything happen to Duo. Sister-in-law, I'm leaving."

Then she hurriedly broke away from Xu's hand, and quickly left the backyard, fearing that Xu would ask further questions.

The seven black eyes narrowed.

Wu Shi's reminder is not surprising when he is grateful, and he has already seen that this matter is not simple.

"Mother, Sanniang is also right, half-talking." Liuju complained in a low voice.

Mrs. Xu bowed her head and pondered, thinking about the meaning of Mrs. Wu's words.

In fact, you don't need to think about it, you know who to be wary of, and these are the only people in your family.

It's just that she really wants to get a very positive answer, not such a guess.

"Mother, can you tell me how I lost my voice?" Qiduo asked Xu to sit down.

Xu didn't hide anything, and told what happened back then.

"Mother, did Goro and I go together back then, or were they taken away? Goro fell off the mountain inexplicably, and I was injured and lost my voice. Didn't you report to the authorities for an investigation?" Qi Duo asked, feeling in her heart. more doubts

Mrs. Xu stroked Qiduo's hair, and said in a warm voice, "Back then, your grandfather asked for the security chief, and the security chief also sent people to investigate everywhere.

You and Goro went out quietly while we were busy and didn't pay attention. You two should have been injured by accident, not by others, so let's forget about it. "

In fact, she still didn't say a word. At that time, someone suspected that Qiduo had a conflict with Wulang, and Qiduo pushed Wulang down by mistake.

This is also an important reason why Wu shi forced Qiduo every day. She believed that and even made a fuss to go to the Yamen.

Tan Dejin argued with Xu's argument.

Goro is seven years old, but he is as tall as a nine-year-old child, and he is strong. Qiduo is a few years younger than him, and he is very thin, so he has no strength to push Goro.

At that time, Tan Deyin and his wife also tried their best to protect Qiduo, saying that the rumors outside were bullshit, and that Goro must have stunned Qiduo by mistake, and Goro stumbled and fell off the cliff when he was afraid of trying to escape.

Everyone thinks it is very possible.

So Tan Dejin and his wife turned to Wu and the others.

The whole family was in a row, and they all said they were going to the Yamen.

Family ugliness should not be publicized, if it goes to the Yamen, what will the Tan family's face be?
Mr. Tan thought about this reason, and made a statement, and the matter was exposed. No one was allowed to mention it again, and the matter was suppressed.

Qiduo frowned, and when she wanted to inquire about something, the door was pushed open again, and Tan Dejin came back with Liulang.

The thin Liulang walked up to Qiduo with empty steps, handed her a piece of milky white sugar cake, and said in a childish voice, "Third sister, eat the sugar, it was given by fourth uncle."

"Liulang is good, the third sister won't eat it, you can save it and eat it tomorrow." Qiduo rubbed Liulang's thinning yellow hair.

"No, Third Sister must eat." Liu Lang stuffed it to Qi Duo.

Tan Dejin asked Xu, "What is San Niang doing here?"

"Duo blocked Bali, she came to thank you." Mrs. Xu agreed lightly, without mentioning anything else.

The past is not pleasant, so why talk about it.

"Oh, that's rare." Tan Dejin nodded slightly.

The previous topic had to be put aside, and the family rested after washing.

But what happened seven years ago is full of doubts in Qi Duo's mind, but she doesn't know who to ask.

Alas, what happened back then?

Qiduo fell asleep with doubts.

At the beginning of the second day, Mrs. Xu got up first, and then called Qiduo and the three sisters to get up.

Today it's Mrs. Xu's turn to cook, Qiduo and the others will help.

The so-called cooking is not just three meals a day, but also all chores such as feeding chickens, pigs, and picking vegetables.

The clothes are washed by each room, and the clothes of Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao are washed by several daughters-in-law in turn.

Qiduo rubbed her eyes, and sat up from the warm blanket very reluctantly.

This point is really early for her.

"Mother, let Duo sleep a little longer, she's not fully recovered yet, let's do the work." Er Xia suggested slowly while putting on her clothes slowly.

Liuju put on her clothes swiftly, pushed Qiduo into the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and said with a smile, "Mother, elder sister is right, there is not much work anyway, we can do it."

Seeing that their sisters were in harmony, Mrs. Xu smiled very relieved, "Well, then you two will work harder, Duo, go to sleep and recharge your energy."

The caring words of Erxia and Liuju, like a gurgling warm current, poured into Qiduo's heart, making her whole body feel warm.

Qiduo smiled warmly and said, "Mother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, I'm not that delicate, and I'm much better now. I have to get up to make medicine for Grandma, I wonder if she is better?"

Zhao's illness is what she cares most about right now.

Qiduo asked casually, but Xu thought about it seriously, "I woke up early this morning, and felt that something was wrong. After hearing Duo mentioning it like this, I remembered that there was no movement at your grandma's place last night."

Hearing what Xu said, Erxia and Liuju also nodded at the same time, "That's right, since grandma was sick, she couldn't sleep at night, and she made noises and wouldn't let us sleep. Last night was quiet."

Qiduo immediately knew from the memory of the original owner that Mrs. Zhao used to stay up all night.

She couldn't sleep, and others couldn't sleep peacefully, so they would yell and call for their wives and granddaughters to serve her.

After the person passed by, she would criticize whether the cat was a dog or not.

It made everyone very annoying.

Qi Duo was overjoyed, is this a sign of improvement?

But Mrs. Xu was not as optimistic as Qi Duo'er, and said with a worried face, "No, I have to take a look and see how your grandma is doing."

As she spoke, the person had already walked towards the door.

Erxia, Liuju and Qiduo looked at each other, feeling a little worried.
