They searched most of the capital and almost ran into the thieves who robbed them, but they still didn't find the person, but they were sure of it.
Some of the soldiers guarding the city saw a man who looked like Dalang pushing someone out of the city.
In the evening, the family sat in the yard tiredly, sighing and groaning. They had no interest in the meal that Wang and Niu Wa brought them as they were too hungry.
The moon on the 15th is fuller on the 16th. It is even rounder, but Lao Fujia’s moon cannot be as round as it used to be.
Yesterday, my wish for family reunion was shattered to pieces.
Yuan held down her trembling legs. He couldn't understand what was going on.
"Why is Big Brother leaving? And why is he pushing Second Uncle to go with him?"
Fu Sibai tried to think positively:
"Could it be that Fu Er is dead? Did Da Lang find a place to bury him?"
Niu Wa retorted, "Impossible! How could he have been buried for another day? He should have come back long ago!"
Xingzi also said: "Besides, the people guarding the city said that the man was angry, but he was asleep!"
This possibility is not high. Even if Fu Erbai really died, Dalang would tell him.
"Could it be that Fu Er has some incurable disease, and Da Lang is afraid that he will be a burden to us, so he took him away alone?"
Wang guessed.
"That's nonsense! No doctor has ever come! Besides, there's no cure. What's the point of him carrying a tael of silver? He can't even buy a good coffin!"
Zhao's gentleness disappeared again, and she spoke in a grumble, feeling tired and annoyed after a day's walk.
This possibility is obviously not very high. The soldiers guarding the city were in a hurry to change shifts in the morning and did not look carefully. After they went back to sleep, their memory became even more vague.
This is just some useless information, and it was only because they bribed those people to tell it out!
I spent a lot of money but still didn't find anything. I had to look for them one by one with great effort, for fear of missing something useful.
I went to the government office and told them about my age, but the people there all looked sullen when they heard my age. They didn't know whether to do anything or not, and just told me to go back and wait for news.
They didn't go to work today and didn't have time to ask for leave. Li thought about it and suddenly remembered that he didn't ask for leave!
But when I looked at the sky, I thought the store had closed long ago and it was too late to invite him in, so this was the only thing I could do.
Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai frowned and thought, glanced at Wulang and Liulang who were wiping their tears, and then looked at Erlang who lowered his head in silence, wondering what he was thinking.
Old Mrs. Yang and her two sons had the same idea and urged everyone to go to bed.
Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai then got up and called Erlang to the old couple's room.
As soon as she entered, Old Yang asked:
"Ji Lang, why don't you tell me?"
Erlang lowered his head and swallowed, looking at Old Yang blankly:
"What?"
Fu Dabai came over and patted Erlang on the shoulder, advising:
"Erlang, listen to your uncle's advice and just say what needs to be said. We are all family, so is there anything that cannot be solved together?
What has this family become? How can this be allowed?"
Fu Sanbai sneered: "Erlang, you are a smart boy, so you have to understand that it is one thing for you to say something now, but it will be another thing if you don't say it now and wait until we find Dalang and Fu Er back!"
Fu Dabai advised earnestly:
"Erlang, go ahead and say it. It's easy to say whatever you want to say now. It's normal for children to be confused for a while, but you and Dalang's original intentions must be good. No one will blame you if you say it yourself.
Otherwise, if we delay like this, apart from anything else, if everyone is busy looking for people and the job fails, they will inevitably feel a little bit resentful towards you.
When there is no income, we will go back to the days of hunger and cold. Is that what you want to see?"
Fu Sanbai said impatiently:
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking to this fool?
"Erlang, I tell you, you don't have to tell me! But we have probably guessed where they went. When we bring them back and find out something, we won't tell them so nicely!"
Old Yang glared at Fu Sanbai:
"Okay, stop scaring the child. There is nothing that can't be discussed peacefully among family members.
Erlang’s grandmother has always thought that you and Dalang are sensible children, and even if you really did something, it would not be to harm the family.
But you are still children after all, and you cannot make decisions on your own without going through the adults.
Do you understand?
Erlang looked a bit struggling but still said in a muffled voice:
"Grandma, uncle, third uncle, please stop asking and stop looking for me. We, we are doing this for the good of our family."
Fu Dabai sighed:
"Erlang, we certainly don't doubt your intentions, but can you really guarantee that this matter will not affect the family?
Think about it, you have three younger brothers who are scholars and their reputations cannot have the slightest stain.
The other boys did not marry, and neither did their sisters.
Although Dalang is in his teens, he is still a child and has no money in his pocket.
You know what your father is like. Don't blame your uncle for speaking harshly, but if your father starts to do something stupid, a normal person can't guard against it, and there will always be times when Dalang can't take care of him.
If anything happens, this family..."
Fu Sanbai spat loudly:
"Hurry up and tell me what you can do! You two little brats still think you are so powerful that you can do anything?
What if I really screwed a family? Don't you know what kind of personality Dalang has? If he shows any weakness, something bad might happen. Can he keep watching your stupid dad all the time without any money in his pocket? "
Erlang values friendship the most, but he has less opinions than Dalang. He used to be good friends with his mother, Xiao Yang, and he would stand up for her.
Later, after seeing through my parents' character and realizing who was truly good, I started to listen to the other adults in the family and my eldest brother.
Dalang was not very smart at home, so his thoughts were naturally not that thorough. Although he asked Erlang not to say anything, he could not guess what his family would say to him.
Jilang was shaken after hearing this.
Old Yang then said:
"Da Lang must have told you not to say anything, but Er Lang, think about it carefully, your eldest brother is still a child, can he really do some things thoroughly?
You have said it now so that everyone will have a clear idea of what is going on. If anything happens, they will have time to prepare and it will be easier to find people.
If you hadn't told us, it's not that we couldn't find it. Now the case has been reported to the county government. If the other party pays more attention, they will find it before us, and who knows what will happen!
It will be too late for you and Dalang to regret it by then! Why don't you tell me? "
Old Futou crossed his legs, sipped the hot water, and said in a light tone, as if these were all trivial matters:
"No matter how stupid Fu Er is, we are still a family. We can solve any problem behind closed doors. Erlang, tell us. There are adults to deal with any problem. It's not time for you to take on the responsibility!"
Lao Fujia had the best idea to make these four people take turns to fight.
To be honest, they didn't guess anything, but first of all they were sure that the two children had no bad intentions, and they were even more certain after Erlang's words.
The problem is most likely with Fu Erbai, so it will be much easier to persuade him, using a combination of coaxing, deceiving and threatening.
If you don't want to talk, then don't sleep. Keep talking. Use the fact that Erlang is loyal and afraid of hurting his family to make a fuss about it.
This child probably didn't have the talent to refuse to surrender, as he confessed everything in just half a night.
The whole family was called up.
Yuan was shocked: "If they were all smashed to pieces, wouldn't he scream when he wakes up?"
Ji Lang: "Big brother said he would knock him out."
Niu Wa: "What if beating him all the time doesn't work one day? Big Brother is so strong, what if he beats me to death?"
Erlang was dumbfounded and asked blankly:
"Can I?"
The whole family: What else can we do? If we use too much of the drug, it won’t work anymore, right? You are such a complete idiot!
The legs were smashed, why didn't they cut off the tongue? If this is shouted out, it will be a problem!
Old Yang was so angry that she hurriedly urged:
"City gate! Wait! Go find it!
Big Boss, you two take the luggage and the money, run quickly and get the person back!"
Fu Sibai muttered, "I said we should have left him behind on the way."
"Go away! It's useless to keep talking!" Wang was too lazy to listen. There were opportunities along the way, so she didn't do anything.
Now that I think about it, he was probably just trying to prevent himself from being thrown!
