Chapter 279 The Child is Lost
Xiao Nuobao only felt a "black shadow" passing by, and the next moment, she was carried away by her fifth brother!
Her mouth opened wider than an egg, and she was a little confused.
They ran through most of the village until the end, when Feng Miao ran out of energy and saw a haystack in front of them, and they both fell into it.
"Wu Guoguo!" Little Nuobao grimaced in pain before he could ask, "Did you do something bad again? Nuobao just saw you drop a lot of silver on the ground!"
Xiao Fengmiao touched the waist of his trousers and made a bitter face, "It's over, it seems all the silver is gone..."
But he didn't dare to go back to pick it up. He just held Nuobao's little hand and coaxed her, "Good sister, you can't leave our home."
"When I grow up and make a lot of money, I can get you all the famous snacks in the capital, or operas and storytelling!"
Little Nuobao didn't know what was wrong with his fifth brother.
But when she heard that there was food and fun, she immediately twisted her body with excitement, "Okay, Wu Guoguo, then you grow up quickly, Nuobao wants to eat cherry pancakes and watch a show at the same time!"
This haystack is just at the east end of the village, next to a piece of wasteland, and usually no one comes here.
Feng Miao dug up some soft grass, pulled little Nuobao to lie on it, and continued to "draw big cakes" for her sister.
After listening for a while, little Nuobao felt like a monk chanting, so he yawned and fell asleep with his little head tilted.
Not long after, the sun set in the west, and it was dusk.
At this time, the Jiang family couldn't find little Nuobao no matter what, and they were getting anxious.
Originally, everyone in the house talked for a long time about sending the Xiao family back to Beijing, and they were also thinking about what agricultural products to bring along.
When she saw the dusk outside the window, Mrs. Feng remembered dinner and stood up and said, "There's still time, let's discuss it slowly in the next two days."
"It's already this late, how could we forget the time? By the way, the little gluttonous cat Nuobao is not crying for hunger anymore. If it were normal times, she would have come to ask what we have for dinner."
Jiang Fengze squinted his eyes and wanted to smile, "Just now I saw her drawing on the food, maybe she was too greedy and fell asleep there because she was tired from playing."
"It's windy in the evening, don't catch a cold." Mrs. Feng also thought so, and was about to carry the girl into the house.
But as soon as she went out, she saw only golden corn kernels all over the yard, and no sign of Nuobao.
Mrs. Feng was stunned for a moment, "So he went to Xianquanju, maybe he went to have a snack with Old Madam Xiao."
As she said that, she and Li Qiqiao were about to go there, and before leaving, she did not forget to instruct, "Fenghu, you steam the dry rice at home, and pick the beans, and wait for my mother and I to come back to cook."
But when she arrived at Xianquanju and met Old Madam Xiao, she was surprised that she had been chatting with Qin Bu Tong all afternoon and had not seen Nuobao at all.
Li Yiner rushed over from the lobby and said hurriedly, "Auntie, Nuobao must not have been here, Aunt Liu and I have been waiting here the whole time."
This time, Mrs. Feng finally panicked.
Along the way, I asked several villagers in the village, but none of them had seen Xiao Nuobao!
Knowing that his sister was not here, Jiang Fengze and his friends hurried over, leaving only Sun Chunxue at home to watch the pot.
Jiang Fengze couldn't help but worry, "Mother! There are many outsiders in our village now. Not to mention the guests from Xianquanju, there are still a few grain merchants who haven't left, plus those from other villages who come to sell grain. There are so many people coming and going. I hope someone will take my sister away because she is so beautiful!"
Mrs. Liu was also shocked and said, "I heard that there are quite a few beggars recently!"
"A few days ago, there was a kid in Daxi Village who was playing with pee and mud at the entrance of the village. Who knew that the beggar pretended to ask for directions, and when the adults were not paying attention, he got on the carriage with the child in his arms."
Upon hearing this, Feng's legs suddenly went weak.
"How could such a wicked thing happen..." Her face turned pale. "Fengnian, Fenghu, Fengze, go and ask our fellow villagers from house to house if anyone has seen Nuobao. Let us all help look for her."
Jiang Fengze rushed in a hurry. One of his feet got caught on the door sill, and his shoe almost hit Jiang Fenghu's face.
Everyone in Dalui Village almost jumped up when they heard this.
This was the only precious thing in their village!
The village chief wanted to put this little girl in a smoke pot and carry her with him at all times. How could he bear to see her disappear!
"Hurry up, Lao Li and Lao Zhang, you old men, take a few young men with you, go
to the east of the village to look!" "Widow Gu, take the women and look to the west of the village!"
So, almost the whole village went out.
Feng's feet were almost worn out with sparks, running all over the village, shouting the names of the girls as she ran.
At this moment, the two children were still sleeping soundly in the haystack in the east of the village.
Shuanzi had good hearing, and when he heard the snoring, he went
over to take a look, and then he shouted, "Children! Found it! Children!" When Feng heard the shouting, she hurried over and saw the two little guys lying with their arms and legs spread out, looking so comfortable.
She almost cried in anxiety, and with her limp legs, she went over and hugged Nuobao in her arms.
Little Nuobao grunted and woke up rubbing his eyes, "Mom, huh? Why is it so dark? Nuobao is hungry!"
Feng's eyes turned red, and she wanted to slap her butt angrily, "What are you and your fifth brother doing here? I thought there was a beggar in our village!"
Seeing that everyone in the family had come, little Fengmiao hung her head and grinned as if she wanted to cry, "There is a beggar in our village! Xiao Lanyi is a beggar! He wants to kidnap my sister to the capital!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
After further questioning, they realized that it was a big blunder. Fengmiao thought that Xiao Lanyi wanted to take Little Nuobao away and would not send him back.
Feng was both angry and amused. She pulled him over and beat him a few times. "You silly boy, don't you think about it? Can your mother bear to give you up? If I have to send you away, it's you. Mr. Xiao just wants to take your sister out to play for a few days. Besides, your mother hasn't agreed yet!"
Xiao Fengmiao was surprised and burst into laughter. "That's great. My sister won't leave. Anyway, I want to stay with my sister every day!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered the money he had earned . He shouted and ran back to pick it up!
Needless to say, the money that fell at the door of the house was seen by Feng a long time ago and was put into the money box for confiscation.
Feng took Xiao Nuobao home and felt relieved.
Xiao Nuobao was also very hungry at this time, and kept acting coquettishly in her mother's arms, "Mom, Nuobao's stomach is growling, I want to eat pickled cabbage stewed with pork belly!"
Feng pinched her little nose and said angrily, "Now you know you are hungry, what were you thinking when you and your fifth brother scared me together? The pickled cabbage at home is finished, and I will ask your second sister-in-law to make you a dumpling soup to fool you tonight."
Although she said so, at dinner time, the Jiang family's dining table was naturally as rich as usual.
A large bowl of roasted pork ribs with beans was placed hot in the middle, and there were also fried pork shreds with black fungus and stewed chicken with mushrooms on the side, which made Xiao Nuobao smile.
After dinner, the Jiang family tacitly understood that they did not tell Xiao Nuobao that the Xiao family wanted to return to Beijing.
After eating, Xiao Nuobao lay on the kang to digest his food, and rubbed Chun Ge'er's little feet. The aunt and nephew giggled for a while.
The autumn harvest had just passed, and the farmers could finally take a break.
At this time, most of the villagers had finished their meals, and many of them sat under the trees, holding a handful of fried peanuts, chatting in the evening breeze.
Thinking about Feng Miao's jokes today, some women also talked about it.
But laughing aside, Feng Miao's love for his sister was beyond doubt.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh, "When Nuobao grows up, these brothers will love her as if she were their own little eyeballs, and no one will be able to bully her."
The village chief smacked his cigarette pot and smiled, "The Jiang family boys are all good. No matter how naughty they are, they all know how to love their sisters. None of them is bad."
Everyone was talking and laughing, but at this time, two yamen runners suddenly came to the village entrance.
Behind the two yamen runners, there was a bullock cart.
The villagers took a closer look and saw two corpses wrapped in white cloth lying straight on the cart board!
