Wan Shi was holding a big lobster and throwing it into the back basket, turned around and saw Mei Shi was still dawdling there, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "What's wrong with you today, why are you always absent-minded, if you don't move quickly, it will be dark in a few days gone."

Mei's hand holding the basket trembled.

Wan didn't pay attention, and continued to look for things while lecturing: "The children are all at home waiting for us to go back to cook, and Baolu is better. Brother Jun is not in trouble, and I don't know if she is afraid at home... ..."

Mei's face turned even paler. She looked up at her mother-in-law who was walking in front, 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 elder brother had always helped their second wife...

She despised Baolu for being stupid and a fool, but that didn't mean she wanted to abandon her, after all, it was Da Fang's only blood.

Mei Shi gritted her teeth, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Wan Shi with a "thump".

"What are you doing?" Wan Shi was taken aback, and took two steps back to stare at her.

Mrs. Mei grabbed her trousers with trembling hands, and said with a pale face, "Mother, please save Baolu, my husband, he..."

Mei's eyes were full of anxiety, but she really couldn't say that dirty thing.

Wan's expression changed drastically, the worry that had been hiding in her heart suddenly sprouted and grew into a towering tree, she pushed Mei's hand away, dropped the basket and ran towards the house.

Mei Shi just sat down on the ground and burst into tears, she knew she was done for.

If Li Hong knew that she had betrayed her, she wouldn't know how to beat her, and her mother-in-law would blame her, so she would be a different person inside and outside the house.

But even so, although I was sad in my heart, I didn't regret it.

Panting for breath, Wan ran home, opened the door and shouted, "Baolu, Baolu!"

There was no sound in the room, Wan's hands and feet were cold, and he stumbled to open the room between her and Baolu, only to find that the wardrobe door was open, and there was no one in the room.

Baolu would never go out to play, at most she would just sit at the gate and wait for her to come home, so where is she when she is not at home?

Wan Shi was so anxious that he turned around and ran towards the village, and bumped into Li Hong as soon as he went out the gate.

Seeing the second son, Wan's eyes were bloodshot, he grabbed his arm and asked, "Where did you take Baolu?"

Li Hong was taken aback, panic flashed in his eyes, but he asked calmly, "What did mother say, what happened to Baolu?"

Wan Shi stared into his eyes and asked: "You took Baolu out, why didn't you bring her back, what about her?"

"Isn't Baolu at home, when did I take her out?" Li Hong looked at his mother with innocent eyes.

Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Wan knew he was lying at a glance, and lied to him: "Someone saw it 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 expression, and said in a low voice: "Bao Lu was arguing for her parents, and I thought she was crying so much that I took her to the cemetery. Crying, I saw that she was well-behaved, and I had a stomachache, so I asked her to wait for me where I was, so I could go and relieve myself, but when I came out, she was already gone."

Li Hong looked at his mother sadly and said: "I came back to find someone to find her, mother, I was afraid that you would not be able to bear the news, so I didn't dare to tell you at first."

Wan's body shook twice, feeling a pain in her heart under the turmoil of her heart, she suppressed the fishy sweetness in her throat, stared at Li Hong for a moment with red eyes, then stretched out her hand to push him away, and ran to find someone to help find him. people.

Li Hong felt a little guilty, but he kept his face sullen. He knew that his mother would doubt his words, but as long as there was no evidence, one day he would be able to make a fool of himself and expose the matter.

In fact, he had a better excuse. Before, he thought that no one would see him when he went out with Baolu in his arms. As long as he came back at night and couldn't find Baolu, he would just say that she went out and lost it by herself.

This place faces the sea on one side and mountains on both sides. It is normal for people to go out and find their way home, not to mention that Baolu was still a fool before, but it is a pity that his mother came back before he could clean his tail.

Thinking of this, Li Hong frowned. Didn't his mother get caught by Mrs. Mei? Why did she come back so early?

While Li Hong was thinking, Wan had already called a few people, rushed up and grabbed his hand and asked, "Where did you lose Baolu? Take us to find it."

Li Hong immediately didn't have the time to think, and pretended to be sad and anxious, and led everyone to the cemetery.

Everyone took the cemetery as the center of the circle and spread outward to search, but naturally they couldn't find any traces.

Wan knew right away that Li Hong might not be telling the truth, and that Baolu was always well-behaved and would not wander around, even if she walked, she would not be able to go very far. If everyone searched so intensively, they might not be able to find the person, perhaps not here.

But now the only one who knows Baolu's whereabouts is Li Hong. Seeing the sky getting dark, Wan became more and more anxious. This mountain forest is very dangerous, and it is even worse at night. If Baolu is no longer found, she will be in danger. up.

Wan tightly grasped Li Hong's hand, dragged him to the tomb of Li Kang and his wife, and cried to him, "Hong'er, we are sorry for your eldest brother and sister-in-law, Baolu is their only blood, if I don't I can’t even keep this bloodline, so what am I doing alive?”

Li Hong's expression was ugly, he hugged his mother and said: "Mother, this is my fault, I shouldn't have left Baolu here alone, if my elder brother and sister-in-law are to blame, it is me."

"Did you really leave Baolu here?" Wan Shi stared at him sharply and asked, "If you think about it carefully, maybe you left it somewhere else."

Li Hong looked at her in silence.

Wan Shi said: "Hong'er, you and your elder brother have a deep brotherly relationship. Your elder brother has let you in since childhood. Whatever you like and what you want, your elder brother will do his best to get you. Our whole family was sentenced to death. In exile, the journey from the capital to Qiongzhou is long, and you are too weak to bear it, so you fell ill on the way. Your father prescribed medicine but suffered from lack of medicine. It was your elder brother who kowtowed to the guards who escorted them to stay for two more days. I asked him to go up the mountain to collect medicine, in order to collect medicine for you, your eldest brother fell down from the mountain..."

"After arriving here, your father's health is not good. For the first two years, we were able to settle down here thanks to your elder brother's hard work. In order to marry you a wife, your elder brother went to sea day and night, if it wasn't for you..."

"If it wasn't for my elder brother, I wouldn't have married my sister-in-law at twenty-seven, and I wouldn't have lost my body to give birth to a fool." Li Hong pushed his mother away, and said with resentment on his face, "Everything is for me. Everyone thinks that he is better than me and that I am incompetent, so why does his daughter ask me to raise it? Why can't he take it with him?"

"Bastard!" Wan Shi was so angry that he slapped him across the face, and said angrily, "He's your real brother, and Baolu is your real niece, how can you do that?"

"What's more, why do you want to raise it? The money your elder brother and sister-in-law left for the family is more than enough to raise three, let alone one Baolu. You have ambition and backbone, so why use the money left by your father and brother?" money?"

Li Hong's eyes were red, he stared at his mother bitterly, bit his lip and said nothing.

Wan's heart was extremely disappointed, but he stared at him sharply and asked, "Let me ask you again, where did you leave Baolu?"

Li Hong turned his head away and did not speak.

Wan was in a hurry. Since the paper on the window was torn, she didn't want to mend it. Instead, she beat him and cursed: "A person with no conscience, aren't you afraid of thunder? If you don't say anything else, I'll tell the village chief."

Li Hong sneered, "How many children drown every year in a hundred miles around here? Do you think the chief will take care of it?"

"The chief doesn't care if it's their parents or grandparents who drowned the children, but you are just Baolu's uncle, and if you kill Baolu, you're killing yourself for money. I want to sue you, do you think the chief will take care of it or not? "

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, are you going to do it? Or is it only your eldest brother who is your son, and I am your son who was picked up on the street?" here?"

Wan Shi was so angry that he shook his body twice, and said ruthlessly: "If you don't say anything, see if I can be ruthless!"

After all, he pushed Li Hong away and was about to run out. Li Hong hurriedly pulled him back, but he didn't dare to do too much. Did he look here from a distance when he didn't see someone coming to help?

They lowered their voices so that outsiders could not hear them, but if he did other actions, he might not be able to hide it.

Li Hong counted the time and saw that it was getting dark again, so he told them at this time that he might not find Baolu, even if he found it, he would probably be a corpse.

At that time, he deliberately took the man into the deep mountains, and if a child stayed there alone, even if he didn't frighten him to death, he would be taken away by wild beasts.

But at this time, little classmate Li Baolu was not scared to death, but was dying of thirst.

Her backpack was too small, and it couldn't hold water after it was filled with those things. At that time, Li Hong moved too fast, and she didn't even have time to get the water bottle.

As soon as Li Hong left, she took out the things in the backpack, took the insect repellent powder with her, and grabbed a bag in her hand for emergencies.

It is not difficult to identify the way, because Li Hong left traces when he walked, and Baolu still has this ability to identify.

But she has small arms and legs, and she is still short. When she passed some dense grass, she was simply buried by the grass. This is not a good experience, even if she has already prepared herself mentally.

After walking more than half of the distance, it was getting dark and she was hungry. She took out the wild vegetable steamed buns in her bag to eat, and then sadly found that she forgot to bring the most important survival necessity - water!

Li Baolu felt smoke coming from her throat, 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 would be like reaching the sky, so she could only focus on those On leaves/stems.

Li Baolu swallowed hard the food in her mouth, wandered around a few larger branches and leaves, and finally took out the courage of Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs, carefully tore off a fat leaf, and sucked the juice from the cut.

A green and strange taste exploded on her tongue, Li Baolu blinked her mouth, hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and continued to gnaw on the leaf...

In order to live, she also worked hard enough!
