Lost



Just as A Yuan wished, the Zhao Mansion had been in chaos for quite some time and they had already discovered that they had run away.

Just haven't found them yet.

Not long after Yuan and Zhao Ru ran away, the maid Xiaozhi, who was sent away, noticed something was wrong.

Normally, Yuan and Zhao Ru would play and make a lot of noise when they had a break, but today they had to take a nap, so they closed the doors and windows and sent them away.

It was normal for them to send the servants away when they were playing around, but if they said they wanted to take a nap and sent the servants away...

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong!

Xiao Zhi first stood there obeying for a while, then tried to react for a while, and then hesitated for a long time. Finally, she risked being scolded, walked to the window outside the house, and called a few times but there was no response from inside.

The child is so quiet, how can this be good?

As soon as I opened the door, something happened.

There was a crack in the rear window, and both of them had disappeared.

While someone was looking for it, Xiaozhi immediately went to report to Madam Zhao.

Everyone guessed that Zhao Ru and A Yuan were just being naughty and probably went to the study or other places where they were not allowed to play.

At this time, no one panicked, but not long after, someone fished out one of Yuan's shoes from the lake.

Yuan's pair of shoes is easy to recognize because they were given to her by Zhao Ru as an advance New Year's gift.

At that time, Yuan first gave her a velvet flower, which was a green crabapple shape, and looked quite novel.

It's just not very finely crafted.

A Yuan bought them from a peddler in the East Market. He only had two of them, one he wore himself and the other he gave to Zhao Ru.

It wasn't worth much, but Zhao Ru carried it for several days and even showed it off to Madam Zhao. She said it was a gift from her sister Yuan, and she even asked Madam Zhao what she should give her in return.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to make a pair of shoes for Zhao Ru at that time, but she was annoyed by her nagging, so she agreed to make a pair for Yuan as well, so that she could give it to her sister Yuan.

The pattern on the shoes was embroidered by Mrs. Zhao herself. It was on both of their shoes, but in different colors.

How could she not recognize something she made herself? Besides, Mrs. Zhao didn't make these often, so she recognized it at a glance.

This was actually all because of Erhuang's aggressive dog, who took A Yuan's shoes and threw them around for fun, and somehow ended up in the lake.

But Mrs. Zhao and the others obviously didn't know the inside story.

The lake - Yuan's shoes - and the girl with Yuan directly formed a very scary possibility.

Mrs. Zhao grabbed her shoes, her eyes turned and her body went limp, and chaos broke out again.

It was Madam Li, who was by Madam Zhao's side, who made the decision.

He asked someone to help Madam Zhao to the bed, and asked someone to call the doctor.

While sending people to continue fishing in the lake, he also asked his servants to look for it elsewhere, and also sent someone to quickly tell Captain Zhao and A Yuan's family.

He also told people not to make it known and just say that he was looking for something else. He did not dare to disturb the old lady at home. He also asked the servants to call Zhao Ru's eldest brother, who was born to the same parents as him, to come and make the decision.

Give orders one thing at a time, trying to cover everything as much as possible.

Let’s not talk about this for now.

On A Yuan's side, Zhao Ru was covering her face and watching the fight through her fingers with excitement and surprise.

That’s right, it was a fight, not sumo. They got lost while looking for sumo and, following the directions of others, entered an unknown store.

I followed the crowd into the backyard in a daze. Someone had set up a stage for a fight in the yard. Although the two people on the stage were rushing towards each other, it was obvious from the unconventional postures of them, with both hammering and biting, that it was definitely not sumo.

The people watching the fun were also betting on the outcome.

Yuan had never seen a casino, but when he saw people paying money, he felt that this was not a good place.

Everyone knows that fighting is a bad thing, but these people didn't stop it and even paid money to bet on the outcome. How can anything good be achieved by having gambling involved?

Yuan wanted to leave immediately.

Fortunately, this time Shao Linfang's two maids thought the same as her. With A Yuan pulling, Ju Qing and Gan Tang persuading them, they finally got the excited Jiang Yanyan, Zhao Ru and Bai Xin out.

Shao Linfang and Pei Suxiao had no interest in this, so they left happily and followed behind.

Zhao Ru was really interested. The eldest brother was pulled out by Yuan unhappily and said angrily:

"Why are you so timid? You are afraid of this and that. It's so boring. How can you have fun?"

Ah Yuan didn't care about her tone at all. His eyes lit up immediately after hearing her words and he said happily:

"Then let's stop playing and go back!"

Zhao Ru was choked up and didn't want to be friends with her anymore. She said angrily:

"Go back if you want, I haven't had enough fun yet!

If you go back, I will never be friends with you again. I was so loyal last time, where is your loyalty now?"

A Yuan shrank his neck guiltily, wanting to say:

In this situation, what's the use of my loyalty?

But he didn't dare to do it, and said euphemistically:

"This is much more dangerous than last time. What if something happens to us?"

"Oh! What can happen? Just follow us! I'll hold you, you won't get lost!"

Zhao Ru waved her hand nonchalantly, took her hand, and confidently squeezed into the lively crowd in front.

Yuan resigned himself to following her lead, looking at her suspiciously, then looking at himself. No matter how he looked at her, they were both the same child. She was just a little taller than him, but she was still a child, so:

...What's the point of you holding me back?

Zhao Ru obviously couldn't understand A Yuan's worries. She thought they had agreed on it, and when she saw A Yuan following her obediently, she became even more excited and squeezed into the crowd.

She seldom went out to play by herself, and even when she did, she would go out with her mother and sister to visit restaurants, jewelry stores, silk shops, and the like.

There are interesting markets everywhere. Now is the time when I am excited and want to take a look everywhere.

I don’t know what’s new here. A group of people gathered in a big circle, talking at the same time and I couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Even though Yuan had very good hearing, he could only barely make out a few words like "too thin" and "the fatter one".

Is it pork belly?

Yuan was used to watching the fun with his family, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with watching the fun among the crowd.

She was just squeezed so hard that her soul was about to leave her body. She was still thinking about whether she should buy a piece of pork belly to take back. Maybe after eating the meat, her family would not be so angry about her causing trouble.

Zhao Ru pulled, and A Yuan followed. The two of them were squeezed in the noisy crowd and did not notice that they had completely lost their friends.

Originally Jiang Yanyan and the others were following behind.

After Zhao Ru and A Yuan squeezed in, Jiang Yanyan followed closely behind.

But she didn't know how she was squeezed and walked in the wrong direction. When she was confused for a moment, Ju Qing, who had finally squeezed in, hugged her and took her out.

Jiang Yanyan stretched her neck and shouted:

"Aju and Yuan are still in there!"

Ju Qing said anxiously without even turning his head: "I will go find you later. Send you out first."

Shao Linfang and Pei Suxiao felt that it was inappropriate to squeeze in like this, and after a moment of hesitation they could not get in. Bai Xin, who was eager to try, was held in Gan Tang's arms.

People in Daliang love to watch the fun. Seeing more and more people gathering here, Ju Qing was stuck in the crowd with Jiang Yanyan in his arms, unable to move forward or backward. He could only shout to let them go. Gan Tang took a few young ladies to wait near the carriage first.

Shao Linfang and Bai Xin are the legitimate masters. If anything happens, the lives of Ju Qing and Gan Tang will not be enough to compensate.

Pei Suxiao and Zhao Ru are both daughters of captains, and Jiang Yanyan is the daughter of Jiang Zhenfushi's family, who must not be lost.

Even though A Yuan's status is lower, his father and uncle are flag officers of the Jinyiwei, and they are good friends with Qin Mingyi. It would be difficult to explain if something happened.

If Ju Qing and Gan Tang hadn't taken too many things and hadn't reacted in time, they would never have been allowed to join the crowd.

Who could have thought that these little masters were so dishonest?

At this moment, things were thrown all over the floor, and Gan Tang anxiously asked Shao Linfang and the others to follow her.

Shao Linfang and Pei Suxiao looked at each other anxiously, then turned around to look at the crowd where A Yuan and Zhao Ru were no longer there.

Knowing there was no way to stay, I had to leave first.

Jiang Yanyan tried to jump up in Ju Qing's arms, her face flushed and her neck stretched as she shouted:

"Zhao Ru! A Yuan! Where are you?

You two fools! Do you know that you are lost? "

Ju Qing: ...Didn’t you almost get lost too?

Jiang Yanyan felt that she was not lost at all, and she just tried her best to call out to her troubled friend:

"Where are you! Zhao Ru!

A Yuan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ju Qing shouted along, but their voices were quickly lost in the noisy crowd.

Yuan vaguely heard a familiar voice.

Before I could listen carefully and figure out what was going on.

Relying on her own kung fu skills, Zhao Ru fought her way through by punching and slapping people here and there, and then she was pulled out of the crowd and successfully reached the circle.

After wandering through the legs for a long time, A Yuan finally saw the light. As soon as he raised his head, he completely forgot about the tiny sound.

There is no streaky meat in the circle, only familiar people...

“…Nian Niang? Maodan?!” A Yuan opened his eyes wide in shock and muttered in disbelief.

Zhao Ru rolled her eyes in disappointment:

"Why is it a human tooth?"
