Chapter 119 The Missing Brother Shuo
"What are you doing here again? You don't come home all day." He came home late that day, and Mrs. Lu had already prepared the meals, and only the young girl in the family had enough to eat. She and Mrs. Lu were still there Wait, seeing him come back is naturally not very angry.

Su Wenhai was wronged, "Mom, I'm busy with business."

"What business do you have? Hmph! Maybe you're going to gamble again?" Xiao Lu, who was serving food on the table, shoved him angrily.

Su Wenhai glared at her, picked up a steamed bun, took a big bite, and drank a big mouthful of rice soup, then smiled and said to his mother, "Mother, I took the errand of Jin'er and brought people Went to the back mountain to pick sunflowers."

"Really? How much money did she give you?" Little Lu rushed over and asked after hearing the words.

Mrs. Lu put the chopsticks on the table with a 'slap', "If you don't want to eat, go to bed!" Little Mrs. Lu was not happy anymore, but she didn't dare to show it. sat there and began to eat.

"If you are willing to do it right, your elder brother will not stop pulling you." Lu sighed heavily, but his beloved second son was so disappointing, not to mention others, but himself, sometimes I can't stand the sight of what he did.

"Oh, mother, stop nagging, it's easy to sit down and have a meal after a long day of exhaustion, if you keep nagging me, I won't eat at all!" Su Wenhai also put the chopsticks on the table, not happy Sullen.

Seeing that he was angry, Mrs. Lu hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into his hands, "You are so old, but you still look like a child. Eat quickly, and go to rest early after eating."

"Mother, Qing's father, I heard that the elder brother's family has moved to Zhuque City?" Xiao Lu's mouth can't be idle, and her heart can't be idle, thinking about how to take advantage of it all day long. money.

Mrs. Lu didn't speak, Su Wenhai said "hmm", and Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked again, "Then who is in charge of the big brother's restaurant? Could it be closed? And is the house sold or is it vacant? The tofu shop?" Is the business around here not going to be done?" Seeing that she is concerned about a lot of things.

"I heard that the restaurant and the tofu shop are managed by brother Shuo's uncle's son and daughter-in-law, and they also live in the house." Su Wenhai took a mouthful of rice and said something indistinctly .

Hearing that these little Lus were anxious, they kicked Su Wenhai fiercely under the table, and then looked at Lu eagerly, "Mother, look at elder brother and sister-in-law, there are brothers who don't use it, but go to use the Liu family instead. People over there, tell me how much time the sister-in-law's family has taken up over the past few years. Brother Shuo and his uncle's family have saved a lot of money. I heard that the old house was renovated a few days ago. He The second uncle also built a new house there, and even arranged for the elder son to have a daughter from the seventh uncle’s house in our village, who will be married at the end of the year, and I heard that the settling money was given 20 taels.” It's nothing, but in the village, those who can give so much set money must be someone with a solid family background.

"Is this serious?" Mrs. Lu became serious as she listened.

Little Lu nodded hurriedly, "How dare I lie to you, mother, tell me, when did the eldest brother and sister-in-law pull us together after they became rich? Her father Qing is the brother of the eldest brother, how can he always throw his elbows out Where is the crutch?" Then he stretched out his foot and kicked Su Wenhai under the table.

Su Wenhai thought about it for a while before answering, "Yes, mother, big brother is too much, although I don't have his skills, but it's okay to order me to do something, and let me earn some money to subsidize the family, right?"

Also subsidize the family?You can't just gamble and export all the money in the family. Lu Shi glanced at him, and Su Wenhai lowered his head knowingly. Little Lu looked at their mother and son, and could guess what Lu Shi was thinking. Said, "Mother, no matter what, Qing's father is your own son. You don't know what he is like. Isn't it because he has nothing to do all day to gamble? Our family's fields are all rented out. , there is only one acre of vegetable land left, why do you let him stay at home? Besides, if the eldest brother arranges an errand for him, he won't have time to gamble, right? "

Mrs. Lu was really moved by her talk now, thought for a while and said with some hesitation: "Why don't I write a letter to the boss to see if he has any good errands for you, but first of all You have to do a good job with this matter now, so I can tell the boss."

"It's natural, mother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it well." Su Wenhai hurriedly stated that at night, he dreamed that he was sleeping with a box of gold ingots in his arms.

When the sunflower field was busy, the Su family was not idle. The blame is that brother Shuo, in order to show his heroic spirit, just learned two tricks from Han Yu and started to get angry, and even quietly followed a group of traffickers. The human trafficker was caught.

When school was over, Brother Shuo didn't come home, so Liu started to mutter, went to the door several times to check, and sent Su Jin to the school to find someone.Su Jin didn't take it seriously at first, but after returning from the school, her expression changed, "Mr. Shuo said that Brother Shuo didn't go to school in the afternoon."

This was said to Su Shuang, the two sisters wanted to keep it a secret, and they didn't want Liu Shi and Su Wenshan to know. "Let's look for it separately. You go to Han Yu's place to see if he has gone to learn martial arts. I will look for it near my house. Hurry up and try to get him back before parents find out."

Su Jin nodded, and didn't bother to let the carriage be harnessed, and rode out the door again.The Han family did not have a house in Suzaku City, and Han Yu lived in the small courtyard behind the Han’s inn. When Su Jin hurriedly looked for it, Han Yu was about to eat, and was very surprised to see her coming here at this time, "Why are you doing this?" Is it time? But do you need me urgently?"

"Did Brother Shuo ever come to look for you?" Su Jin didn't care to talk to him, and opened her mouth to ask Brother Shuo's whereabouts.

"Brother Shuo?" Han Yu asked in surprise, "He hasn't been here today, but I saw him yesterday. Could it be that Brother Shuo can't find him?"

Su Jin burst into tears when she heard this, "It's just that I can't find it. Otherwise, I could find it here. Brother Shuo hasn't come home yet. I went to the school to ask, and the husband said that he has been looking for it all afternoon. Did not go."

"Don't worry, it's good to think about where Brother Shuo usually goes. I'll look for it with you. It's okay. He's such a big man, he won't run around." Han Yu pushed the bowl and chopsticks forward. , stood up and pulled her out.

Su Jin wiped her tears as she walked, "Isn't it just that I know he won't run around, so I'm worried. He must have encountered something, maybe he was abducted by human traffickers, right? I was in the restaurant at noon this afternoon. I heard people talking about the loss of a few children in Suzaku City." Speaking of this, she suddenly quickened her pace, what if Brother Shuo really met a human trafficker?We must find him quickly.

Hearing what she said, Han Yu also remembered that he had heard about it before, and his expression became serious, "Let's go, let's report to the authorities."

When the people in the government heard that there was no child again, one of the guards sighed, "You guys, why don't you take good care of the child, our town lost five or six children just yesterday and today."

Is it really a trafficker?Su Jin's tears came down immediately, and Han Yu took her into his arms, "Don't think about it, it will be fine, the most urgent thing is that we go back and bring someone to look for it quickly, we can't hide this matter, let's talk to Uncle Su and Su Let me tell you, Auntie, it will be easier to handle things when there are more people."

The two rushed back to Su's house in a hurry. Su Shuang was anxiously pacing back and forth at the door. Seeing them coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Su Jin's hand, "I heard that there are human traffickers coming from Zhuque City. You say Brother Shuo?" ..."

"Second sister, Han Yu and I have already reported the case. The yamen said that five or six children have been lost in the past two days. I think we can't hide this matter. We should tell our parents so that we can take care of it." Let the servants go out and look for it."

This was the only way to go. The two sisters hurriedly lifted their skirts and ran towards the inner courtyard. When they passed the courtyard of Steward Wen, Su Shuang stopped, "Boss Wen."

Wen Guanshi came out of the room quickly when he heard the voice, "Second Miss, what's the matter?"

"Boss Wen, brother Shuo hasn't come back yet, my third sister and I are in a hurry to tell my parents, first gather all the servants, and follow us out to find someone later." Su Shuang said quickly step away.After hearing this, Steward Wen hurriedly summoned his servants to wait in the yard.

When Su Shuang entered the main courtyard, she heard Liu's crying, and her steps became faster, "Mother, don't cry, I have already asked Qiu Liang to go to the restaurant to find my father, and now Jin'er and I will take our servants out to look for you. Just wait at home, and when my father comes back, tell him to find the elder brother-in-law, and ask him to bring someone to look for him, you just wait at home, and if Brother Shuo comes back, remember to let someone tell us. "After finishing speaking, he dragged Su Jin out again.

During these two nights, the yamen servants have been patrolling, not only in Zhucheng District, but in the entire Suzaku City.The servant of the Su family came out to look for someone with a torch, and even met someone from another family who came out to look for someone. When the two groups met, they informed each other of the news, and then continued to search separately.

Su Jin followed Han Yu and brought a few guys from Han's inn all the way, walking in and out of small alleys. Although she didn't have much experience, she felt that if she was really a human trafficker, she would pick out those people. Kind of hidden in the middle of nowhere.

As they were walking, a guy suddenly yelled that he found blood. Su Jin and Han Yu hurried over to check, and found that the blood was a dripping line, which disappeared on the wall of a house. Jin walked over to check, accidentally stepped on something, removed her foot and took a torch to take a picture, Su Jin was shocked, quickly picked it up and put it in her hand to check repeatedly, then held it tightly in her hand, gritting her teeth Said: "They are here."

"What did you find?" Han Yu walked to her side and looked at the yard.
